Chapter 102: The Secret Path

After being slapped twice, Xu Siqi's cheeks immediately swollen. His chin was also dislocated www.biquge.info he couldn't close his mouth under it, his shirt and robe were also drowning, and he was so embarrassed that he no longer had the amorous appearance he was usually proud of.

He looked at Xuanhui pleadingly, hoping that she would intercede for him. But Xuanhui's eyes were no better than Pei Minzhong's.

Pei Minzhong saw that Xu Siqi still dared to look at Xuanhui, and his anger surged upward, but when he wanted to fight again, he was stopped by Pei Rongzhen. "Shizi, such a despicable villain, why bother to kill him when he leaves in a while. It's time to discuss the matter of going out of Beijing, otherwise, the sky will be about to dawn. ”

As soon as Xu Siqi heard that his life would be gone after a while, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and he didn't hold his chin with both hands, but only hugged Pei Minzhong's legs, whimpering and crying.

Pei Minzhong glanced at him in disgust, raised his foot and kicked him down, and then said to Xuanhui: "Let's get out of here first and go to my house to hide from the limelight for two days." When the guards at the city gate are relaxed, we will go out of Beijing. I have some old acquaintances in the Liaodong Army, and it should be a cheap place to go. ”

Xuanhui was a little surprised that Pei Minzhong would arrange it like this, but she looked at Xu Siqi who was prostrate on the ground, so she didn't ask again, and only ordered Jingyun and the others to pack up their belongings.

When they were about to leave, Pei Minzhong and Pei Rongzhen together tied Xu Siqi firmly to the fan in the ear room with the strips of cloth torn from the bed tent. Pei Minzhong knocked Xu Siqi on the face with a dagger and said, "I came in a hurry today, I don't have time to visit my aunt and grandmother, and Grandpa Guo will tell her old man for me when he recognizes his relatives at dawn." You have repeatedly caused trouble, and this time you have committed a sin that you will never be able to atone for ten lifetimes. Today, I let you go for the last time, which is the whole of the little incense between me and my aunt and grandmother. If you don't fall into my hands in the future, if you are planted in my hands again, even Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save you! ”

Xu Siqi nodded hurriedly, and then watched Pei Minzhong take Xuanhui and the others away.

When a few people climbed out of the wall of Xufu Garden, the sky was still full of stars. Pei Minzhong squatted down and said to Xuanhui: "Come up, I'll carry you away." ”

Xuanhui's eyes widened, and he said strangely, "What are you doing here?" While there's no one around, why don't you leave quickly? It's not like I can't go. ”

Pei Minzhong said depressedly: "I heard that you were on the back of Ayuan when you got on the sedan chair today, and I was very annoyed!" I haven't even carried you yet, so why did I let him get on the ...... first?"

The corners of Xuanhui's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled sweetly: "I didn't know that Shizi was such a stingy person!" Even my cousin's vinegar is eaten! After that, she obediently put her arms around his neck, lay on his back, and was carried up.

"Shall we go to your house now?" Xuanhui asked quietly.

There was silence all around, and several people walked softly. The delicate little man on his back spoke softly like this, and the breath he exhaled scratched his ears and neck, Pei Minzhong only felt a stagnation in his chest, and his breath immediately became uneven.

No wonder people often say that children are long, but heroes are short. Thinking that he placed the soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion in Fujian and temporarily entrusted it to his father's deputy general Xu Sheng, when he heard that he was going north to pick up Xuanhui, he should have thought the same way.

"What I just said in Xu Mansion is just a cover-up. Originally, I didn't want to leave Xu Siqi behind, but if you fled quietly like this, I was afraid that Liu Guangsheng would implicate Changyi Bofu. What's more, you are out today...... When Bofu was in the house, Ah Yuan happened to come back. It's hard to think about it. Leaving Xu Siqi alive can be regarded as seeing me, so he naturally washed away the suspicion of Changyi Bofu. ”

"As for how we get out of Beijing," Pei Minzhong said with a smile: "How can I casually let Xu Siqi know." It's just that he looks stupid, and he can deceive once, both horizontally and vertically, to help us. ”

Xuan Hui gently twisted Pei Minzhong's ears and said with a smile: "You are really bad!" ”

As they spoke, they turned into a narrow alley, and finally stopped at the door of a small house at the end of the alley. Pei Rongzhen stepped forward and slammed the door panel five times and slowly twice, and someone inside opened the door and put them in without asking.

"This is your place too?" Xuanhui asked curiously.

Pei Minzhong squatted down, waited for Xuanhui to hit the ground with his feet before standing up, and said, "Well, this is my own house, and no one in the Guogong Mansion knows about it." He turned his head to the man who opened the door and instructed, "Old Chen, go find a few lights, and we will go out of the city." ”

When the servant brought a few portable lanterns, Pei Minzhong led everyone to the inner room of the West Wing. Pei Rongzhen moved away a large flower goose more than one person high, and uncovered the felt carpet underneath, revealing a cast iron board. He and Pei Minzhong worked together to remove the iron plate, and there was a narrow passage underneath.

Xuan Hui looked down, and she couldn't see anything in the dark, and she couldn't help but be a little scared.

Pei Minzhong came over with a lantern, took her hand, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I am very familiar with this road back and forth, and I guarantee that there is nothing in it." ”

Xuan Hui clutched his hand and followed Pei Minzhong down. Jingyun, Caiwei, and Yuan Xiang walked down in turn, behind Pei Rongzhen's palace.

Pei Minzhong said while pulling Xuanhui to walk in this narrow road: "There was once a story in the capital that said that more than a hundred years ago, there was a merchant who sold medicinal herbs. Every time he entered the city, he felt sorry for the tax money handed over to the banknotes, so he came up with a solution, he bought a small house not far from the city gate in the outer city, and then spent two years digging a secret passage under the city gate with a few domestic servants. Since then, he has taken that secret passage every time he enters and exits the city, and he has never paid taxes and silver. ”

"When I first arrived in the capital, I thought it was very boring, and I heard this story told. Since it said that there is a nose and eyes, I was interested, and it took me two years of work to find it. ”

Xuanhui smiled: "The merchant used this to hide the tax money collected by the official, so what are you using it for?" ”

Pei Minzhong gently scratched Xuanhui's palm twice with his fingers, and said with a smile: "No one collects my taxes and silver when I go out of the city and enter the city, but this time to open and close the city gate is not as good as I want."

Xuanhui was tickled by him, and was laughing, when he found that the aisle had begun to go up, and he was about to climb the ladder. When he climbed out, Xuanhui found that the exit of this dark passage turned out to be a dry well.

"This person's mind is also amazing, it's a pity to be a medicine dealer."

"After a hundred years, wouldn't it be smarter for me to still find this secret path?" (To be continued.) )
