Chapter 757: The Secret Passage
But the prince didn't let it, and the emperor couldn't come hard, oppressing people with power, not to mention that this green hat couldn't be all his own, he and the prince shared it equally, but the prince was lucky to escape, and he was not spared.
Seeing that the prince was angry, but far less angry than him, the emperor was annoyed, "Then what do you say?!"
The monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the emperor wants the life of the Zhao family and the Yongguo Mansion to be easy, a letter of rebellion, or even a letter of impeachment of the Zhao family for attempting rebellion can destroy the Zhao family.
It is not a pity that the Zhao family and the Yongguo Mansion died, and the emperor did not want to put his reputation on the Zhao family in order to dispose of it, and even the slightest possibility of being talked about was not allowed.
What to do is still being discussed here, after all, it takes time to fabricate evidence, and the combined forces of the Zhao family and the Yongguo Mansion in the DPRK and the Central Government are a small half, and if they are not handled well at that time, the court will definitely be turbulent, so we must act cautiously.
Over there, Muyang Hou hurriedly entered the palace, and the little father-in-law came in to say goodbye, and the emperor said, "I don't see it!"
He's annoyed, such a shameful thing, one more he's upset.
Xiao Gong said fairly, "Muyang Hou said that there are 100,000 urgent matters, and he has to see the emperor." ”
The prince said, "Let him in." ”
The little father-in-law withdrew, and the Marquis of Muyang entered the imperial study and gave the reason for killing the Zhao family and the Yongguo Mansion.
The second young grandmother of the Zhao family testified that the Zhao family rebelled, which was enough to kill the Zhao family.
The emperor glanced at the prince and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, don't let me hear the news that one of the Zhao family and the Yongguo Mansion has been arrested." ”
The prince went out of the imperial study and asked the secret guard to send a message to General Chu, and asked General Chu to take the Chu family army to surround the Zhao family and the Yongguo Mansion, and not a single fly was allowed to fly out.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department returned to the Criminal Department, and let people vacate the death row of the Criminal Department, there are so many people in the Zhao family and the Yongguo Mansion, I am afraid that it will not be enough to close.
Some of the evidence is conclusive, and the condemned prisoners who have not yet had time to be executed were locked up together, posted notices, and cut down for both days.
The prince rode to Zhao's house, the Zhao family was in chaos, and the maids fled in all directions, but none of the people who wanted to be arrested were seen.
The Chu family army saluted the prince and the general Chu, "I have seen the prince and the general, and my subordinates sent people to search the Zhao family, but I didn't see the person to be arrested." ”
The prince smiled coldly, "There are so many people in the Zhao family, can they still disappear together, search for this king!
The Chu family army received the order and led people to continue the search.
Wang Ye and General Chu went to the study of Old Lady Zhao, there was an upside-down copper basin in the study, and the prince's eyes fell on the copper basin, and the Chu family army turned over the copper basin, and it was full of ashes.
When the wind blows, the ashes fall and fly.
Before the old lady Zhao left, she didn't forget the things that were burned, it must be fatal, and the Chu family army took out one or two words that were not burned from the ashes, one of them said Raise troops, and the other had only one word, Emperor.
These are all evidence of the Zhao family's intention to rebel.
General Chu rummaged through the secret room in the house, and it was really not easy to find a huge study.
However, both the Chu family and the palace have secret rooms, and the entrance to the secret room must be in a convenient and secret place, and the prince personally searched for it, and in less than half an hour, he found the entrance to the secret room.
As soon as the secret room was opened, the Chu family military said, "The subordinates go first." ”
As soon as he stepped into the secret room, several short arrows were shot out of the secret room, and he didn't have time to dodge at all, and he fell directly to the ground.
Wang Ye's eyes condensed, and Mrs. Zhao still had time to set up a secret weapon to escape for her life, and it seemed that she was not in a hurry.
The prince stepped forward, those arrows were shot over, the Chu family army couldn't dodge, the prince avoided easily, the prince took the lead, destroyed the hidden weapon, and the Chu family army followed behind, and there were no more casualties.
Moreover, there is only a mechanism at the entrance of the secret room, the more you go inside, the quieter, the less dangerous it is, this secret passage is for the Zhao family to escape, except for the Zhao family to know, outsiders do not know, set up a mechanism inside, that is to kill their own people.
This secret passage is very spacious and has many forks, extending in all directions, and I don't know how many years the Zhao family has built, enough to accommodate two people walking side by side, no need to bend over and bow their backs, the wall is polished and smooth, and there are oil lamps nailed on it, saying that it is a secret passage, but it is better to say that it is an underground palace.
When they arrived at the fork in the road, the Chu family army and the prince searched separately, and the prince continued to move forward, and after walking for a while, a Chu family army ran over and said, "Lord Wang, the road over there is blocked by rocks." ”
"Messy stones?" The prince frowned, could it be that Old Lady Zhao knew that they would find the secret room, so he cut off their way to recover?
What a cunning fox!
"Some of them continue to search, and some of them move the rocks away!" commanded the prince.
The Chu family army received the order.
The prince did not move in place, the Chu family army continued to search, turned around, and did not find the source, it should be the same as the prince guessed, the road was cut off.
When they moved the rocks away, they didn't know where they had gone.
General Chu was worried, and said that Mrs. Zhao was scheming, and sure enough, it was true.
It's just that General Chu and Wang Ye didn't think that the Zhao family was a little miserable at this time.
These people all escaped from the secret passage, leaving an empty mansion for the prince and the emperor, they must be able to guess that the Zhao family has a secret passage, and when the time comes, they will find it, in order to fight for the opportunity to escape, they have to destroy the secret passage, when the secret passage was designed, this problem was taken into account.
But they did everything they could, but they didn't count Yuque.
For Yuque, in this world, except for the iron box left by Mrs. Mu for Minglan, it can't move, and he cuts other things like cutting tofu.
The prince hurriedly entered the palace, and Minglan guessed that the emperor was going to destroy the Zhao family.
For the royal family, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go, regardless of whether the evidence is sufficient or not, first put in the prison of the Criminal Department, and then slowly confirm the innocence of the Zhao family, and then release the person, if there is a crime, it must be the head of the person, and when enough evidence is found, then arrest the person, the daylily is cold.
The Zhao family is high and powerful, and they must know the emperor's temperament, so they will escape.
didn't dare to go in the open, so he could only take the secret road, and Minglan asked Yuque to block the Zhao family.
Where does Yuque know where the secret passage is, Minglan said, "This is not simple, you just drill into the ground, and the empty place is undoubtedly the secret passage." ”
Yuque was deeply impressed by Minglan's wit, and went straight to Zhao's house without saying a word.
I don't know how many holes I drilled before I found the secret passage, found the Zhao family with the sound, and watched the Zhao family do what it wanted to do.
Yuque watched quietly for a while, then flew a little farther away, cutting tofu for a while, and all four walls fell down.
Then, the Zhao family was blocked in the middle.
There was no need to look for it, the Zhao family fled in a hurry, and they didn't bring much to satisfy their stomachs at all, and within ten days, they were just a bunch of corpses.
At this time, the prince asked people to move stones, and the Zhao family was also in a hurry to move stones, and those who could escape into the secret passage were either masters or henchmen, old and weak, women and children, and few could do rough work......
