"Okay, I'll believe you this time!"

Zhu Di immediately ordered the eunuchs on the side, "Immediately take my warrant, go and open the city gate, send the men and horses of the Beijing camp, and exterminate the rebellious party outside the city." ”

He then said in a deep voice: "Even if you open the city gate immediately, you won't have time to evacuate the entire city for an hour, after all, this is the capital Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and a large population. ”

Guangsheng also thought of this, and he replied proudly: "That's why Weichen wants to search the tunnels in the palace, they use the sewer pipes in the streets of the imperial city to connect the palace, so that the water can concentrate on the palace, so that the people in the palace will suffer first." ”

Since Zhu Di chose to believe him, he simply waved his hand and said: "You can do whatever you want in the palace, but remember ......"

His gray eyes were as fierce as a goshawk, "If it turns out in the end that Dongchang is right, and your information is not accurate, your fate will be even worse than Ji Gang." ”

"Because he has no children and no daughters, he knows everything, but behind you, there is the rise and fall of the entire Jining Marquis Mansion."

The emperor's voice came from above the throne, like a thunderbolt above the nine heavens, divine grace like the sea, and divine power like hell.

The search of the palace did not go well, although the eunuchs of the palace were trembling with fright, but the legendary palace secret passage was not found, which is also a matter of course - if it was so easy to be exposed, Emperor Jianwen would have been captured a long time ago, where could he escape to the ends of the earth and not be found?

Even the Nanyuan Lotus Pond, which was found to be abnormal at the beginning, is now unprovoked - Guangsheng gave an order, and the pond water was released. Even the silt was emptied of a layer to reveal the shallow bottom, and the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard poked down with spears and bamboo poles. Still nothing.

The palace maid who managed the lotus pond was called, but it was a strange face, and when I asked, I found out that the original palace maid had a sudden illness two days ago, and died immediately after being dragged out, and had been sent to the human field to be burned.

"Such a big living person, it only took two days to burn to ashes?!"

Guangsheng's voice was not angry. The aunt who managed Nanyuan turned pale with fright, but the young eunuch in charge of this area was a bold one, and actually replied with a smile: "Your Excellency may not be familiar with our palace. I don't understand, we are serving the nobles, they are a thousand gold, if they are sick. No one can afford to be guilty. Therefore, whoever has an emergency will be moved out immediately, and there can be no delay at all, this is the rule! ”

"Rules?!"

Guangsheng looked at him with a cold smile, his eyebrows were like a romance, and he was more beautiful than the palace lady present, although the young eunuch had cut off the roots of his descendants, he also had a flutter in his heart. The next moment, he was smacked to the ground by a slap. I heard the man whisper, "If you yourself are sick, you will also be sent out in one day to burn?" ”

Guangsheng gave an order, "Come on, strip this father-in-law naked and hang it on the flagpole, and see if he has passed the heat in half a day, and if so, send him to the transformation field immediately." ”

The young eunuch was stunned with fright, he was also a man with a little face, he never dreamed that someone would dare to be so arrogant and arrogant, and he would be trampled off like this, just shouted the five words "How dare you", and was pulled up like a wolf by a captain of the brocade guard, and dragged to the distance and stripped off his clothes and pants in three or two strokes.

The palace ladies were so frightened that they didn't dare to look at it, but the eunuchs were scared and trembled, and some of them were almost scared out of the urine, their group of people was the most bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and they were always condescending to the brocade guards outside the palace, but now they finally lost their arrogance.

The young eunuch was really going to be tied to the flagpole, and it was hot on the three poles in the sun, if he was really exposed to the sun for a long time, even if he didn't die, he would suffer from heat stroke, this group of brocade guards did all kinds of evil, and it was possible to really drag them out and burn them alive, he immediately compromised, howled a few times in a low voice, and said that he had a secret report.

After listening to Guangsheng, according to what he said, he touched the edge of the lotus pond a few times, and finally found a key raised stone, and after pressing it three times, the originally flat pool side cracked, revealing a black hole, but it was a clever use of the principle of water flow, which was opened on the side of the bulge, and the water flow could not enter at all.

Descending the stone steps, Rising saw the locked portal, made of iron and stone, which could not be opened without a key.

"Where's the key?"

He grabbed the young prisoner's throat, and the latter choked up, "We don't know, we really don't know......"

Guangsheng's hand continued to exert force, and the young eunuch's eyes bulged and his throat gurgled, and he wailed: "My lord, spare my life, Mr. Xue from Dongchang said......"

This name made Guangsheng's heart sink, and his subordinates let go slightly, and the young eunuch gasped and said, "Mr. Xue said that since the key is not available, then use explosives to blow it up." ”

"When are you going to do it?"

"Half an hour to go."

This answer made Guangsheng's heart furious-it exploded half an hour later, and it was obviously impossible for such a movement not to be noticed in the palace, which meant that the river flood would follow immediately after this!

However, he didn't know the whole situation of the tunnel, because the picture of the tunnel was only mastered by Jingyu!

Just when he was anxious, Li Sheng ran over and panted and said, "My lord, your cousin is asking to see her and is at the gate of the palace." ”

"Cousin?"

Guangsheng didn't react for a while, "Which one is it?" ”

"It's a Ruyao girl, she said that she has something urgent to look for you."

"When is this going on, let her go home first."

Guangsheng waved his hand to let Li Sheng leave, and suddenly his heart lit up: Ruyao's mother-in-law is Mrs. Zhang, this map has a lot to do with her, and she herself is stable and knowledgeable.

"Hurry up and ask her in."

In less than a cup of tea, Ru Yao was carried by a captain of Jinyiwei and walked quickly, she herself was panting and obviously tired, and her first sentence was, "The key is here." ”

"What?"

It's just sleepy and met a pillow!

Guangsheng couldn't believe that he had such good luck, he was just anxious about this, and suddenly Ruyao appeared like a god!

****

Ruyao came in a hurry, and there was also a reason.

Shen Yuan hit a hard nail in his son's place, and he was also frightened by his colleagues in the early dynasty - everyone said that he gave birth to such a bold son, and he dared to lead troops to rush into the palace, and he must be a rebel and thief like Ji Gang in the future.

Such words made Shen Yuan angry, anxious and hateful: if time could be turned back, he would definitely kill this son of a crime and prevent him from coming out to defile the lintel.

Some people even said in a weird way: "When the time comes, something will happen, but if you want to raid the family, the nine clans will all suffer, do you see less?" (To be continued.) )
