[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

In order to find the secret way, Zhao Xiaozhen led the crowd to dig a hole in the yard!

Because a crypt has been dug under the house, you must master the skills when digging the hole, otherwise it may cause a collapse.Moreover, the house occupies a large area. The idea of ​​digging the ground inch by inch and three feet is too stupid. It is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also easy to scare the snake.Zhao Xiaozhen rushed to strike first, just to catch him by surprise, the best way is naturally to find the right position and make a quick decision!

Pang Tong just wants to be a quiet and beautiful general, but his immediate boss is like a mad rabbit, and he can't stay idle.

In desperation, Pang Tong recruited Lieutenant General Wang Yang to help Zhao Zhen dig a hole.

Lieutenant General Wang Yang is a warm, cheerful and familiar man, just the opposite of Pang Tong's style of painting.The last time Pang Tong and Gongsun went to Zhan’s house to pick up Zhao Zhen back to the palace, Wang Yang also went with him. Wang Yang and Zhao Zhen are both chatterbox players who can talk and talk. Spitting out the coffin face of Pangtong and establishing a deep revolutionary friendship.

Wang Yang began to follow Pang Tong when he was a teenager, and gradually emerged in the South and North Wars. The two have been working together happily.Pang Tong put all his mind on fighting, and Wang Yang helped him eliminate all kinds of worries, and took care of all the trivial matters of the whole army. He was a miraculous existence like a good wife!

Wang Yangneng was favored by Pang Tong, in addition to being slick and slick, he also had a unique skill-finding things.

Finding water in the desert, finding the way on the barren hills, finding enemies in the grasslands, looking for spies in the army, including finding caves in the ground will not stop him!According to well-informed sources, Wang Yang has a pair of miraculous downwind ears. When lying on the ground to listen, the location, number, and baggage of the enemy troops are all in his ears.Wang Yang has led the army to fight for more than ten years, and has never been ambushed by the enemy, but he has fought a few beautiful counter-ambushes!

Wang Yang lived up to expectations, lay down on the ground and listened for a while, and quickly drew a few locations in the yard.

Everyone was lucky. After digging two holes, the crypt was dug through. Zhao Zhen squatted at the entrance of the hole and looked in. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Ask the imperial army to continue digging in another place.

The imperial army was like a fire in that winter, with a pickaxe and a shovel, sweating and working hard.

After all, there are so many people and so much strength. They quickly dug a tunnel with a width of about three meters. The marchers held hands and went down to investigate. They found that the inside was as intricate as a maze, and every turn was a crossroad. Turn into a dead end.There are extinguished torches hanging on the walls on both sides, and a thick layer of ash and cobwebs has accumulated on the torches. The warm crypt has become a reptile paradise, apparently abandoned.

As soon as the entrance to the crypt was opened, the adventure factor of the Jianghu people began to move around, especially Zhan Zhao and Uncle Zhan who were eager to try.Bearing in mind that curiosity killed the cat, Zhanmao tried hard to restrain his curiosity, Zhan's stick was held tightly by Zhan blacksmith, otherwise he would have gone down with a compass.

Master Bao said calmly: "Exploring the secret road will be long in the future, the most important thing now is to follow the vines and find the lair of the people behind the scenes."

Mr. Gongsun said worriedly: "They have used [Supernatural Axe] recently, and they must have left clues in the cave. As long as we can find the right way, it is only a matter of time before we catch the people behind the scenes. I am afraid that the underground road is narrow and convenient for the enemy to ambush. It is convenient for us to escape and fight back, and using poison or explosives in such a narrow place is really hard to guard against."

Zhao Xiaozhen narrowed his eyes sharply, "Mr. means..."

Master Bao coughed twice in embarrassment, "This trip is dangerous, please just wait outside for the good news."

Zhao Xiaozhen couldn't believe it, "Why didn't the cave I found take me to play! You are killing donkeys! Crossing rivers and tearing down bridges! Ingratitude! If you catch fish, forget the trap! Birds are gone! Rabbits are cooked! Put on your pants..." The second half of the sentence was manually muted by Zhan Zhao.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched: Who was the one who suffered a thousand knives to ruin the pure emperor!

Only the obtuse Gongsun admired secretly: The emperor is sensitive and eager to learn, he knows so many allusions at a young age, it is rare to be so casual at his fingertips.But what's the allusion to 'pull up your pants hmmmmm'?From the Analects of Confucius and Mencius or the Four Books and Five Classics?Is it a folk saying?

In order to prevent Zhao Xiaozhen from continuing to speak shockingly, Master Bao had no choice but to compromise, and Zhan Zhao blocked Baozi's mouth with crisp candy.

Zhao Xiaozhen smiled charmingly: "It's getting cold, let the people behind the scenes go bankrupt!"

Everyone buried their heads in digging: they were so tired that they didn't want to talk to him at all.

The hard work paid off, and everyone finally found a [new] way, not only a newly discovered way, but also a way with a torch!Everyone looked at each other, and the first reaction was - fraudulent?Then he felt it was impossible, Zhao Zhen had already blocked the news as quickly as possible.

It was getting late, and the wives all went back to their rooms to look after their children. There was Mrs. Zhan sitting in the backyard, and everyone had no worries.Sishu and Zhanhui guarded the suspicious servants, Pang Tong and Mr. Bao guarded the entrance of the cave, and everyone else wanted to go down to watch the fun.

Wang Yang had experience in going to the tomb, so he walked at the front, Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang followed behind him, the hidden guards guarded Zhao Zhen and Gongsun, followed by Bai Gu who watched the excitement, and Zhan Qingmang who subdued demons with a compass , and Zhan Qingfeng who couldn't hold back his younger brother and was dragged into the water...

Zhan's father yawned expressionlessly, and the biological clock that he had cultivated for many years, going to bed early and waking up late, was persistently hypnotizing him.

Bai Yutang, who was also used to going to bed early and waking up late, was also yawning. Ever since he came to Kaifeng Mansion, Fifth Master's biological clock has been fed to the cat.

**********

In the empty cave, the slightest sound was harsh, and everyone subconsciously held their breath to eliminate the sound of footsteps.Fortunately, everyone was good at martial arts, but Zhao Xiaozhen, who was the second laggard, was hugged by the hidden guard and consciously covered the crow's mouth.Gongsun was supported by the hidden guard, breathing slowly and trying not to make a sound.

Everyone walked a long way, sometimes uphill, sometimes downhill, and every intersection is a cross.I should be thankful that there are many people who come down, and occasionally you can find your way back when you go into a dead end, so you won't get lost in the intricate crypt.

It seemed to be for ventilation, some places were dug so shallow that even Gongsun who didn't know martial arts could hear someone's voice above his head.In some places, the dug was very deep, and it was difficult to breathe when walking, and even the torch could not continue to burn.Wang Yang and Zhan Zhao, who were walking in the front, carefully identified the traces on the ground. Bai Yutang was holding a torch on guard, and Wang Yang and Zhan Zhao seemed to have some disagreements.

Wang Yang frowned and said in a low voice: "It's so strange, the traces are so obvious, it means that the other party didn't do anything to cover up. Could there be fraud in front?" When encountering a problem, it is used to think twice before acting.

Although Zhan Zhao is a big official, he is still a man of the rivers and lakes who is happy with his love and hatred. He is bold and arrogant, and he is full of courage: "Looking ahead and looking back will inevitably miss good opportunities. Why don't you You stay here, I'll go and have a look first."

Bai Yutang said flatly, "I'll go too."

Bai Gu smiled, "I'll go too."

Zhan Qingmang said dryly: "I'm going too!"

Zhao Xiaozhen followed closely behind: "I'll go too!"

Everyone paused for a moment, and suddenly turned their heads to stare at Zhao Zhen at the same time—"You are not allowed to go!"

Zhao Zhen squished his mouth, and bit his white teeth on his beautifully embroidered cuff—this group of stinky adults pushed me away!

Before everyone could reach a conclusion, there was a loud noise above their heads, as if the wine jar was broken.Then there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, intermittent crying, mixed with indistinct curses, and then the continuous smashing of porcelain.

The force didn't sound like it was smashed, but it seemed to be smashed intentionally.

Everyone knew that this place was relatively shallow, and they were afraid of being discovered by the people above them, so they had no choice but to continue walking for a while.Everyone turned around an intersection, and finally saw the long-lost torch opening the way. Zhao Zhen whispered, "There was a torch at the entrance just now, isn't it almost the exit?"

As if to confirm Zhao Zhen's guess, a beam of light was faintly cast not far ahead.

Looks like this is the exit!

Everyone drilled like gophers for a long time, and they were a little excited when they saw the exit.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a sneer above my head: "Trash! What's the use of keeping you!"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, the voice was too familiar, it was Li Jiayao, could it be that Linjiang Tower is above his head?

Zhao Zhen was also taken aback. Linjiang Tower is on North Street. I just remember that I walked east for a long time at the beginning. After turning three corners, I couldn’t tell the difference between east, west and north. I walked to North Street before I knew it. It’s far enough. of.Zhao Zhen's sense of direction on the ground is average, but he has no sense of direction underground at all.I never went to an underground shopping mall in my previous life, and I might take the wrong exit when crossing the road underground.

Zhan Zhao didn't want to leave at first, and even more so when he heard Li Jiayao's voice.

Zhan Zhao is occasionally confused, but most of the time he is shrewd, especially when it comes to 'truth'.Zhao Zhen likes to go to Linjiang Tower to grab a meal, but lately he has intentionally or unintentionally stopped him from going.Although the eldest brother didn't like Li Jiayao, he used to only mutter a few words, but recently he started to stop Li Jiayao from coming over.There is also a case, so many clues point to Li Jiayao at the same time, even the exit of the secret road is opened under the Linjiang Building...

"Heh." Zhan Zhao sneered.

In the silent crypt, a sudden laugh is quite penetrating.

Zhao Xiaozhen subconsciously shrinks her neck, anyone who is familiar with Zhan Zhao knows - this is really angry.

Zhan Zhao usually has a good temper, and is willing to use the greatest kindness to understand others, and treat others with his own kindness.There are only two kinds of people Zhan Zhao will never forgive, one is to disregard human life, and the other is to break faith.If reckless disregard of human life can be forgiven, how should innocent people die in peace?If treachery can be forgiven, how rampant are the shameless people in the world!

Li Jiayao committed two big taboos at once, no wonder Zhan Zhao turned his back on him.

Only when Zhan Zhao loses his temper can he see the arrogant demeanor that the second son of the Zhan family seldom shows.

Furious, Zhan Zhao strode forward, waving his hand, and a strong wind knocked over the wooden board blocking the exit.The wooden plank should have been a whole piece of traps, but Er Shao Zhan was in a rage at this time, who cares if you trap or not, anyone who dares to stand in the way will be shot flying!

╰(*°▽°*)╯The friends in the tunnel were shocked.

Second Uncle Zhan smacked his lips: "It's terrible. The last time Xiao Zhao lost his temper, it seems that his elder brother's friend joined forces with a profiteer to cheat his elder brother. Later, that friend and the profiteer became famous overnight. Yuanyang, his family property was stolen, and all the money was donated to repair the embankment."

Zhao Zhen expressed doubts: "With Master's temper, isn't this too light?"

Second Uncle Zhan nodded: "Of course it's more than that. It's not the first time that the two have cheated on their 'friends' together. Several 'friends' were cheated by them and ruined their fortunes. Xiao Zhao followed them for more than two months, and finally When the two cheated and caught personal stolen goods, Xiao Zhao handed over the evidence of their collusion to Mr. Bao. That friend was finally sentenced to exile for three thousand miles, and he might never come back in this life. People's daughters and reckless people's lives are punished one after another... Now the grass on the grave is taller than the grave."

Everyone was silent for a long time: Even though they were enemies, they still couldn't help lighting candles for Li Jiayao.

Zhan Zhao made such a big commotion, which naturally alarmed the people in Linjianglou. A few staff and cooks ran past, staring and cursing in confusion. Everyone felt a commotion overhead, and a lot of dust fell down. After a while, the audience suddenly fell silent... …

Zhao Xiaozhen guessed with his toes - all of them must have been acupointed by Zhan Zhao.

There was too much dust underneath, the father and son of the Bai family [I speak for Bai Yi] escaped first, and the rest of the people kept order and queued up to leave.

The familiar smell is indeed Linjiang Tower. There are disheveled strong men in different postures lying on the ground. If you look closely, they are all the cooks and assistants of Linjiang Tower.The reason for these people's disheveled clothes was probably because they washed up and went to bed in the middle of the night, and they were woken up by Zhan Zhao and couldn't get dressed in time.Directly opposite is the Tongbu where the servants sleep, no wonder you came here in time, but it's a pity that you bumped into the unhappy cat Zhan, it's unlucky for you.

This room should be a warehouse in the backyard of Linjiang Building. No wonder it is usually locked with a big lock. It turned out to be the entrance and exit of the secret passage.

There were seven or eight wooden boxes piled up in the warehouse, and Zhao Zhen signaled the hidden guard to open the wooden boxes——the boxes were full of gold bars shining brightly!

In addition, there are some bills and ledgers. Zhao Xiaozhen finally counted the ledgers, "Oh, the annual flow of money in Linjiang Tower is comparable to half of the national treasury. Oh, do you make so much money as a cook now, or is it an imperial cook?" The Li family is different, alas, I want to change my career~"

Naturally, Zhan Qingfeng would not condone raising traitors: "The state is owned by the state and the laws of the country, the emperor sees it."

Zhao Xiaozhen smiled and laughed with satisfaction, and stopped "Oh" when he got the promise.

After visiting the vault of Linjiang Building, everyone was about to go out when they saw a figure descending from the sky, landing face first due to their posture.Everyone was amazed—Li Jiayao, who was as proud as a peacock, had never been so embarrassed, with a bruised nose and swollen face, footprints all over his body, bleeding from his nose and vomiting blood at the same time.

Everyone was puzzled, Zhan Zhao was a kind person, he was a man of conscience, he was based on evidence in investigations, and he would never abuse lynching, so Gongsun felt relieved that Zhan Zhao came up alone.At this time, Bai Yutang in fluttering white clothes descended from the sky, his face was as cold as frost, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he kicked Li Jiayao away...

Everyone suddenly realized that it was Bai Yutang who beat him up!

Li Jiayao is also unlucky, Bai Yutang usually likes to be clean, he never walks in muddy places, even the soles of his shoes are clean.However, the fifth master gave up his life to accompany the cat today, crawling around in the burrow and rubbing his feet black. The cleanliness obsession is already on the verge of breaking out, no wonder it will be murderous.

Li Jiayao vomited blood, and Bai Yutang wanted to kick, but Zhan Zhao hugged his arm before stopping.

Everyone wondered: Didn't Zhan Zhao lose his temper just now, why did Bai Yutang become so angry in a blink of an eye?

A sneer appeared on Li Jiayao's bruised face, "You dare to hit me! Why do you hit me! Who are you! I'm hi-poof!"

Li Jiayao only spoke half of what she said, when Bai Yutang slapped her across the air, half of Li Jiayao's teeth were slapped, and she was completely speechless.

Bai Yutang said lightly, "I'll beat you, is that cool?"
