"Engong is right." Zhang Wu didn't know when he came out of the room, looked at the people and said, "Since sister-in-law's illness has been cured, then we don't have to stay here, we can find someone who is safer." somewhere to hide."

Qin Yi nodded approvingly: "It's a wise move. Where are you planning to leave the city from?"

"That guy Li Fugui sent people to guard the exits of the four city gates." Zhang Wu said, "So, we plan to leave the city through the secret passage we discovered by accident. Gong Gong, do you want to go with us?"

Secret passage?As soon as Qin Yi heard this word, Qin Yi subconsciously thought of a hundred ways to use secret passages to break through the city, and then he realized that he didn't need to break through Ningcheng, and a smile appeared on his face: "No need! , we can go out directly from the city gate. However, I am very interested in the secret passage you mentioned, can you take us to see it?"

"Of course." Zhang Wu nodded happily and agreed.

After packing up their luggage for a while, the Zhang family brothers brought their sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, to a relatively remote dry well in Ningcheng.As mentioned earlier, after the establishment of Ningcheng, people dug many new wells in the city, and these new wells all dried up under successive years of drought.

The Zhang family brothers accidentally discovered a hidden pothole outside the city. After exploring the hole out of curiosity, they found that the pothole was connected to a dry well in the city. This is why they were able to sneak their sister-in-law into the city. And the reason was not discovered by anyone in the Li family.

As for who dug this secret passage and for what purpose, they don't know.

Regarding this, Qin Yi has some guesses.This secret passage should have been dug out after the well dried up, and the exit of the secret passage is not too hidden, otherwise it would not be discovered by the Zhang brothers, so this secret passage is probably just a temporary A channel, used to transport something that cannot be discovered by others, or a channel for people, it may even be a one-time channel.

Qin Yi suddenly gave a very abrupt chuckle, and erased these thoughts from his mind.Isn't the reason why he doesn't want to continue to be the emperor because he wants to live an easy life?If he still cared about everything as before, wouldn't his decision be meaningless?

It was also at this moment that Qin Yi discovered that the biggest obstacle for him to get rid of his status as emperor was himself.Even though he had been thinking about how to get rid of the emperor's identity in a logical way, in the process, he was still thinking from the perspective of an emperor.

Qin Yi took a deep breath, and then exhaled it slowly.Now that he has decided not to be the emperor, first of all, he should stop this habitual thinking mode of analyzing everything.

"Let's go find my junior brother." Qin Yi turned his head and said with a smile to Hu Yin and Liu Qingxuan who were puzzled by his sudden strange behavior, "If there is still need for help, Ah Qing can also help."

After speaking, he left directly from the dry well and walked towards the ancient well where Zhang Su and Xu Liang were.Hu Yin and Liu Qingxuan looked at each other behind him, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes, but seeing that Qin Yi had gradually walked away, they could only follow with this doubt.

When the three of them came to the ancient well in the south of the city again, the sun had already set in the west, and there were many young and middle-aged people who drew water from the ancient well, but Zhang Su and Xu Liang were nowhere to be seen.

Time went back to not long after Qin Yi and Hu Yin left.

Not too many people needed to fetch water. Not long after Qin Yi left, Zhang Su and Xu Liang had already helped all those in need.After everyone else left, Zhang Su suddenly asked Xu Liang, "Because of senior brother, I didn't have time to ask you before, did you find any problems when you went to Liu's house?"

Xu Liang was taken aback for a moment, he was surprised to let him go to Liu's house before, just to avoid the pretense of meeting the little emperor, it turned out that Zhang Su really cared about the situation of Liu's house.

"You're right, there are indeed some problems with the Liu family's situation." Xu Liang said, "According to what you said, the Liu family should be just an ordinary wealthy family, but when I went to check the Liu family today, I found that there were many martial arts people inside. And the skill is not low."

The head of the Liu family, Liu Yuanwai, used to be an official in the court. Zhang Su's father, Mr. Zhang, became friends with Liu Yuanwai at that time. Later, because they were dissatisfied with the emperor's stupidity, they both resigned. Mr. Zhang lived in the capital, and Mr. Zhang lived in the capital. Liu Yuanwai returned to his hometown Ningcheng.

After Liu Yuanwai returned to his hometown, the contact between the two was not severed. When Zhang Su was still young, Mr. Zhang also took him to visit Ningcheng once.Not long ago, Mr. Zhang received a letter from Liu Yuanwai, which revealed Liu Yuanwai's worries about some strange things that happened to him recently.

Just at this time, Mr. Zhang learned that his youngest son Zhang Su was about to go to the northwest as an imperial envoy for disaster relief, so he asked him to stop by to find out how his good friend was doing.

The Liu family is a family of nobles. There were many officials. The family was fairly well-to-do. There were also a few family members who were proficient in martial arts, but they had nothing to do with martial arts. It was impossible to suddenly invite a large number of martial arts People, let alone some martial arts people with good kung fu.

From this point of view, is there really something wrong with the Liu family?But at this time, is this really just a coincidence?Zhang Su didn't think so.

The emperor promulgated the decree in the early court, and then handed it over to the Ministry of Education to draft the decree, and then the cabinet reviewed and sealed it, and finally the emperor confirmed and sealed it, and then the eunuch went to Zhang Su's home to read the decree.This process lasted about six hours, which was enough for some people with eyeliner to react.

In particular, he, the imperial envoy, was an eyesore in the eyes of some people.

Looking at Zhang Su who had fallen into deep thought, Xu Liang said, "I can go to Liu's house to check again tonight. With my strength, those people won't be able to find it." However, it also gave him a certain understanding of the strength of the Liu family, and he was confident that with his light work, he would not alarm anyone at all.

Hearing the words, Zhang Su thought for a while, then looked at him and asked, "If those people in the Liu family are alarmed, are you sure you'll get out unscathed?"

Although he didn't understand why Zhang Su asked such a question, Xu Liang still nodded and said with disdain: "With the skills of those people, let alone me, even with you, I can leave unscathed."

Zhang Su suddenly laughed: "That would be great, tonight, I will visit Liu Yuanwai, you can go with me."

Xu Liang choked suddenly, was he being tricked by someone?Or did he take the initiative to lean over and let people figure it out?But since I have said that, I have to bear the corresponding consequences.Sure enough, none of these officials is a good thing.

After deciding what to do tonight, Zhang Su began to think about another question. Should he tell the little emperor that he risked his life to go to the Liu family, which was obviously in trouble, to frighten the snake.Wouldn't it be troublesome if you told the little emperor that if he suddenly became interested and wanted to go with him?

But if he didn't tell the little emperor, he and Xu Liang would definitely have trouble tonight, and if the little emperor found out by then, he wouldn't know how to explain it.Judging from the little emperor's performance today, he obviously doesn't like his behavior of hiding something, which is really worrying.

Just when Zhang Su was in a dilemma in his heart with a blank face, Qin Yi brought Hu Yin and Liu Qingxuan over, and began to greet them from a distance: "Junior brother, Xu Liang, come quickly, I will You introduce a new friend."

The two walked over according to his intention, Qin Yi introduced Liu Qingxuan to the two, and then introduced the identities of the two to Liu Qingxuan, and then said: "It's getting late now, let's go back to the inn together. "

After thinking for a short period of time, Zhang Su also made his own decision and concealed his actions tonight.Rather than preventing the enthusiastic little emperor from following him to Liu's house, he would rather explain it to the little emperor after the action.

What Zhang Su didn't know was that he wasn't the only one who took action at night tonight. Qin Yi, who had already decided to abandon the original emperor's thinking mode, quickly became an actionist after making this decision.

After discovering the evil spirit in the ancient well during the day, and after hearing about the legend about the ancient well from the old beggar, Qin Yi decided to go to the well at night to find out.Qin Yi, who originally planned to use this obviously problematic well to do things, after discovering the problem in his thinking mode, decided to go down alone, just to satisfy his curiosity.

As for the consequences of his actions, he no longer cares.After all, if some things are calculated too much, the original fun will be lost.

The author has something to say: the first update in December, cheers
