Chapter 39: The Imperial Capital (Prime Minister's Mansion)
Lord Liang looked at the blue light in Wei Xuan's hand and trembled with fear.
"Don't, don't, I say I ......"
Wei Xuan heard that Lord Liang had compromised, so he put away the blue light in his hand.
"I ...... Every time we caught a girl, we would send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when we had gathered 100 young women, the Prime Minister would smuggle them to the palace and hand them over to the Emperor," said Ryō.
"Then how many people have you arrested now?" Wei Xuan asked.
"There are already 98 of them, and there are just 100 of them...... said.
"I really didn't expect the emperor to do such a thing, is this still the emperor......? No wonder the county order of Yanling City is so arrogant, it is really that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked......" Xiangxiang said in disbelief.
"Yes, I thought the emperor should be a righteous gentleman, for the country and the people......" Lu Yao said in disbelief.
"No, we have to find a way to get those people out," Wusheng said......
"You...... I have to tell you, that prime minister is not easy to mess with, don't ask for trouble......," said Liang-sama.
"What's not to mess with, isn't it just that you become the prime minister, what's the difference between you and an ordinary person," Wei Xuan said.
"I advise you not to ask for trouble, the prime minister is not something you can provoke, even the emperor has to respect him ......for three points," Lord Liang said kindly.
"You don't have to worry about this, okay, let's go......" Wei Xuan said.
"Thank you...... Thank you......" Lord Liang, the black-robed man, and the shopkeeper hurriedly thanked him and ran away.
"Lord Liang, the matter has already been known to them, not to mention the emperor, the Prime Minister will not let us go, what should we do next?" the black-robed man asked Lord Liang anxiously as he ran.
"What else can I do, it's all to blame on this old thing, if you don't inquire about their origin in advance, just let us arrest someone, now it's okay, the matter is revealed......" Lord Liang said as he looked at the old man who was running behind.
"I said Lord Liang, you can't say that, how do I know they are so powerful, besides, this matter is also your story of them, what does it have to do with me?"
"Okay, let's get out of here first......" Ryō-sama said helplessly.
The figures of the three gradually disappeared into the moonlight.
In the inn......
"What should we do next, go directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" asked Xiangxiang.
"Yes, we have to get those girls out," Wei Xuan said.
"But after all, it's the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there are many guards in the mansion, so if we are exposed, it may backfire......" Wusheng said.
"Then what should I do, I can't ignore those girls," Lu Yao said anxiously.
Wusheng looked around helplessly, and when he saw the thugs who were beaten down by him and Wei Xuan, he suddenly thought of a way.
"Yes, Wei Xuan and I can dress up as thugs and pretend to escort Xiangxiang and Lu Yao, so that we can sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion without knowing it," Wusheng said excitedly.
"But what if Xiangxiang and Lu Yao are in danger?" Wei Xuan said with some uneasiness.
"Don't worry, as long as we protect them well, there will be no problem, no matter how many of them are, they are ordinary people after all," Wusheng said.
"That's the only way to go......" Wei Xuan thought for a moment and said.
"Xiang'er, Lu Yao, I have to wronged you" Wusheng looked at Xiangxiang and Lu Yao and said.
"It's okay, as long as I can save those girls," Xiangxiang said.
After a while, Wusheng and Wei Xuan took off the clothes of the two thugs and changed them themselves, and threatened the other thugs to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion with them, and those thugs knew how powerful the two of them were, so they had to compromise.
"You say these people wrap themselves around all day and I feel like I can't even breathe, how do they do that?" Wusheng said.
"Yes, I also feel very awkward, I feel that this dress is too tight, and I feel uncomfortable......" Wei Xuan patted his clothes and said.
Xiangxiang and Lu Yao looked at the uncomfortable movements and expressions of Wusheng and Wei Xuan, and the two looked very awkward in the clothes of the thugs, Xiangxiang and Lu Yao couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" asked Wusheng curiously.
"You ...... Are you laughing at us?" Wei Xuan also said helplessly.
"No, no, no, we didn't laugh at you, you guys look so good, poof...... Hahahaha...... "Xiangxiang wanted to endure it but couldn't hold back, and laughed again.
"Brother, we didn't laugh at you, I just ...... Poof~ Hahaha...... "Lu Yao still couldn't hold back.
Wusheng looked at Xiangxiang and Lu Yao helplessly.
"Okay, let them laugh if they want to, and settle accounts with them when we rescue them......" Wei Xuan also said helplessly.
When they were ready to go, the sky gradually brightened.
"Don't try to play any tricks, otherwise you should know the consequences......" Wei Xuan walked in front with a serious face and turned back to those thugs.
"Yes, if you dare to play tricks, you will not be able to eat and walk around, I will always watch your ......" Wusheng and Wei Xuan stood in a row and said.
Xiangxiang and Lu Yao walked at the front of the line with their hands tied.
Under the guidance of the thugs, they came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I saw that the Prime Minister's Mansion was very magnificent, and the front of the Mansion felt different from other mansions, and the general Mansion was either a statue of a tiger or a statue of a unicorn, because these two statues were symbols of a wealthy or powerful family, but in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion were two statues like people, but the face of the statue was like a demon, with eyes, two long sharp teeth, and two horns like horns on the head, which looked particularly fierce and vicious.
There were four people in front of the house, two of them standing on one side.
A group of people came to the front of the house. The thugs didn't speak, but one of the thugs pulled out a quick token from his bosom, and one of the guards looked at it, nodded to them, and got out of the way.
Wusheng, the four of them followed the thug door with a serious face and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wusheng and Wei Xuan carefully observed everything around them.
It didn't look special, when they walked to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a fast boulder in an inconspicuous corner of the backyard, and those thugs took the four of them to the fast boulder mother, one of the thugs pressed it on the right side of the boulder, and the boulder moved slowly, and after a while, when the boulder moved away, they found that there was a secret passage under the boulder.
Wusheng and Wei Xuan, Xiangxiang and Lu Yao followed the thugs into the secret passage.
In the dark passage, when they took a step forward, a candle would be lit, and when they came to a large stone wall, one of the thugs took out a token from his arms and put it into a gap in the middle of the stone wall, and the stone wall slowly moved away.
Only then did the four of them discover that there was a secret room in the secret passage, and the secret room was particularly spacious, and those girls were locked in this secret room.
When the girls saw someone coming, they shrank into a ball with frightened expressions.
"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you," Wusheng said softly.
When Wusheng and Wei Xuan, Xiangxiang and Lu Yao entered the secret room, one of the thugs pressed a button on a stone pillar next to the secret room, and the stone wall sealed the secret room again.
Seeing this, they hurriedly wanted to run out, but unfortunately before they could do so, the secret room was sealed by the stone wall.
"You can't run away, the guards already knew your identity when you were at the gate of the mansion just now, and they should have notified the Prime Minister, so you just stay inside and wait for the Prime Minister to come and send you down" The sound of thugs came from outside.
"These damn things, I would have ...... if I knew about them," Wei Xuan slapped the wall angrily.
"It's useless to be angry, we have to figure out how to get out," Wusheng said.
Wei Xuan didn't speak, but just shot a blue light at the stone wall, but the stone wall didn't react at all.
Wusheng and Wei Xuan nodded to each other, and the two of them shot a light at the stone wall at the same time, but the stone wall still didn't react.
