Withdrawing from the secret passage, Huo Yixiao and the others returned to the room.

The mess has been cleaned up, and in the study room between the east room and the tip room, there are four treasures of the study.

Xu Qi volunteered and unfolded the drawing paper.

He had a lot of experience with Wellcomber and was good at surveying and drawing.

All the details of the marching route can be drawn clearly, and it is not difficult to draw a map of the tunnels.

Xu Qirun studied ink for him, and Xu Qi began to sketch according to everyone's telling.

Huo Yixiao walked around the study.

There are a lot of things piled up on the shelves.

Among them, there are many popular word books.

He pulled it out and saw the titles of "The Four Sons Looking for Fragrance" and "The Four Sons of Bazhou Night Talk", and he didn't even blink his eyes, and quickly threw them aside.

There is also a row of history books, clusters of new ones, which have apparently never been read.

On the top floor, Huo Yixiao found a rubbed map of the capital, and the streets and alleys were drawn very carefully.

He gave it to the Xu brothers.

Xu Qirun's brows furrowed, with his experience of walking in the capital, on this map, the proportion of each place can be said to be eight or nine, marking all kinds of yamen, and even a few stations of their Beijing Guard Command and Envoy, as well as the city defense have made simple annotations.

"How can there be such a thing?" Xu Qirun was speechless, "I don't know where the original picture is." ”

Xu Qi snorted and said, "Even the capital can dig such a complicated secret passage, what is the private map?" If you don't have the heart to commit a crime, can you do something to us? ”

With this map for comparison, Xu Qi drew a map of the secret passage according to the scale after determining the sketch.

Xu Qi stopped writing and asked, "Fourth son, what are you going to do with these two maps?" ”

Huo Yixiao said: "Send it to the palace first, let the emperor see it." ”

As he said to Fang Qichuan, no matter how much Zhu Sheng participated in the affairs of Canglangzhuang, that one was always the second highness and the emperor's own son.

Zhu Sheng has enough identity, his mother has a name and a surname, whether he makes a mistake or breaks the law, it all depends on how the emperor judges in the end.

It's not an official, or Huo Yixiao, who can do it.

The sky is already dark, and it will not be long before the officials go to court.

Huo Yixiao said to the two: "Heshun Tianfu also informed, first leak the news of not arresting people, and wait for the emperor to see the map before discussing." ”

Xu Qize and Xu Qirun have no opinions.

Seeing that Huo Yixiao was leaving, Xu Qirun asked Ebony: "What about this black cat?" Do you want to send Miss Wen back? ”

Huo Yixiao glanced at the black cat lying on the notebook, and laughed: "No, it can go back by itself." ”

Ebony yawned and meowed, as if to say goodbye to them, and then it leaped out of the window and disappeared in an instant.

The morning light appeared on the horizon, and it ran back to Yanzi Hutong as fast as possible.

Mama Wu was busy in the kitchen, and when she turned around, she saw Ebony standing at the side door looking at her, her dark cat eyes shining.

Tired all night, it's time for breakfast.

A big, freshly steamed fish, delicious.

Huo Yixiao didn't have such a good "treatment", he took two buns from Yin Lei's hand, filled his stomach casually, and went outside the imperial study.

When the emperor came back, he couldn't help but be surprised to see him standing outside from a distance.

"Why didn't you go to Xi Yuan Palace?" The emperor walked over and asked.

Huo Yixiao replied: "There are two things, I want to ask the emperor to take a look." ”

Seeing his solemn face, the emperor bowed slightly, and only let Gonggong Wu go in to serve.

"What is it?" After taking a seat, the emperor asked, "It is important to make you so cautious, right?" ”

"Two maps." After Huo Yixiao finished speaking, he handed over the things to Gonggong Wu.

Gonggong Wu handed it to the emperor, took two steps back, and just stood still, he saw that the emperor had opened a map.

There was still the scent of ink on the paper, and it seemed that it had just been drawn, and it was twisted and twisted, and he couldn't tell what kind of map it was.

The emperor didn't understand at first glance, and asked: "This is marked with the West Street entrance, this is Dongxing Hutong, hey, and the Second Prince's Mansion, I know these places, but what are your horizontal and vertical lines?" ”

Huo Yixiao said in a deep voice: "This is what I found last night, it is a secret passage under the capital. ”

"What?" The emperor's eyes widened, "You say, there is such a complicated secret passage under the capital?" ”

"Yes." Huo Yixiao said.

Wu Gonggong's heartbeat was popping.

It was as if he was listening to a ghost story!

Not to mention the emperor, if Huo Yixiao hadn't said it like this, he would have thought that this was a fantasy.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, his capital, was dug up like this underground?

Like the roots of a tree, it is intricate.

A rough count shows that there are more than 20 exits in total, leading to all parts of the city, including those leading to the outside of the city, all the way to the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the city.

In other words, even if the gates were closed, if someone invaded, they could easily enter the city through the secret passages.

Although entering the city is not the same as entering the palace, these people can dig into the city now, and if they are given some time, they can also dig into the imperial city!

Perhaps, you can dig directly into his imperial study and his bedroom!

Then he is not the emperor?

"How did you find out?" The emperor gritted his teeth and asked.

Huo Yixiao also confessed, and said: "We found that Lord Qi, last night, Xu Qirun took the people of the Jingwei Command Division to sweep down the house where Lord Qi was located, and Xu Qize and I also went to make a contribution." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "You mean, you are with the two brothers of the Wellcomber Mansion?" ”

"Yes," Huo Yixiao finished answering, and seeing that the emperor motioned for him to continue, he said, "We found the secret passage in the house, went down and walked for a while, and found that it was very complicated.

Another map presented to you was found in the study of the house, only rubbing, and the whereabouts of the original map are unknown. ”

The emperor put down the secret passage diagram first and opened another copy.

With just one look, he was furious.

This map, if not very detailed, is all the labels it should have.

Who would have come up with such a map?

It must be someone with ulterior motives!

Otherwise, would it be fun to make such a map for fun?

Plus, there's such a complicated tunnel.

Wait a minute......

"One of the exits to the secret passage is at Sheng'er's house?" The emperor asked.

Huo Yixiao replied: "That opening was explored by Xu Qirun, he said that it was in a wing room in the second highness's mansion, he had been to His Royal Highness's mansion as a guest before, and he remembered the layout and decoration of the patio outside the wing. ”

The emperor's face was gloomy.

He took a deep breath and explained to Wu Gonggong: "Go, bring Sheng'er to me." ”

Gonggong Wu hesitated slightly, but did not disobey the holy order.

The emperor suddenly stopped Gonggong Wu, who was about to go out, and advised: "Shut your mouth first!" ”
