Hua Qiao drank three cups of tea in the mansion before Huang Zhifu hurriedly returned.

He unfolded a large, three-foot-square drawing, which turned out to be a detailed architectural drawing, with clear dimensions in every place.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you see, there is a small river in the north of the Wang family, and after the Cao River is repaired, the water in the small river will dry up, and it is most suitable for us to make a hole from the side of the river embankment."

Although Huang Zhifu said that he didn't do this business, after all, he was a family student, and he was exposed to it since he was a child, and he was still much more professional than ordinary people.

He also said: "In our Shandong Province, even if it snows, the permafrost is not thick, and this distance should be enough for a few days......

"How many days?!" Flower buckwheat shouted.

"Five...... Three days, three days...... Two days, two days! "Governor Huang's sweat is like rain.

For two days, Hua Qiao was not afraid that his senior brother would not be able to wait, but he was afraid that the tunnel would not be dug through, and the king of Han had already arrived......

Huang Zhifu asked his mother-in-law to prepare a room for Hua Qiao's accommodation, and he hurriedly went out again. Now that it's almost the New Year's Day, this matter can only be done in secret, and it can't be publicized, and manpower is a problem.

Hua Qiao asked the little beggar who was squatting at the door of the government to find someone to help.

It didn't take long for people to line up to throw firewood and grass into the abandoned river, and pour oil on the fire.

The housekeeper of the Wang family came out to ask, and said that the government was going to dig the river to prevent floods next year.

Although the Wang family scolded a few words, "Neuropathy!" What kind of river to dig for the New Year? But it has nothing to do with his family, so he will no longer be pursued.

The river burned overnight, and the frozen soil on the surface also burned, and the next day a bunch of people came and dug up.

This time, no one from the Wang family came out to take care of it, his family occupied a large area, and there were not many people living nearby, even if someone had a lot of things to do, it would not be unusual to see that there was a servant supervising the work next to him.

Including the night of the fire, it took two days and two nights.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, on the other side of the tunnel, you can break ground tonight. It's a good labor for you to find those beggars! Introduce their heads to me, and next time you build roads and water conservancy, if you don't have enough labor, you can find them and include two meals! Huang Run was full of praise.

Although he said that it was two days, he had the fastest three days in his heart, but he didn't expect that he would really dig in two days. However, if it weren't for his precise location selection and fire-burning tricks, I'm afraid it wouldn't have gone so well.

"Okay, tonight, Princess Ben will bring people in, you just need to follow our agreement and drag them at the gate."

Hua Qiao had already discussed with Elder Jia in the past two days, and sent two beggar disciples to enter the tunnel with them, and a few more jumped into the courtyard, and cooperated with the government officials at the door to "catch the thief" to make trouble.

Night is coming.

Tonight is the thirtieth day of the lunar month, because there is a New Year's celebration, and the lights of every household are on.

Two beggars jumped into the courtyard of the Wang family.

"Who?"

The family of the king of Han was the first to hear the movement. The crown prince and Hu Yanjin have been imprisoned here for a while, and in the past two days, either the king of Han has come over, or the order to kill them has come.

This is a hot potato, and it is safe to deal with yourself as soon as possible.

The two families will lead their men to run behind the moving rocks. When I looked over, there were two footprints on the ground.

This is one of the ways they monitor whether anyone has jumped over the wall: spread a layer of fine sand in the open space next to the wall.

"Search!"

"Wait, I'll take two people to keep an eye on the entrance of the secret passage, and be careful that someone will take advantage of the chaos to get in." A general was still careful, remembering the entrance in the rockery between the two backyards.

Although it is guarded, it is better to be cautious.

He led the men down the basement through the secret passage. Hu Yanjin heard someone coming in and looked up, Zhu Zhanji was lying on his back on the bed made of hay, not even bothering to move.

Seeing that the two of them were fine, the general waved his hand and went out with the people again.

There is a good thing about it in the tunnel, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition, the coals were burning in the corridor outside the cell, and they did not feel cold.

Hu Yan Jin stared at the things on the table opposite that were found from them, his silver silk whip, his few flying stones, and most importantly, the little wooden buckwheat.

There was an inner ghost on their ship.

After being fascinated, except for the crown prince and him who were carried off the boat, Xiao Zhong, Xiao Yan and dozens of their Jin Wuwei were all left on the boat, and the bottom of the boat was chiseled open by water ghosts, and now I don't know if they are dead or alive.

Fortunately, there was only one cell in this dungeon, and he and the crown prince were locked together.

He speculated that it was just the dungeon of the big family, and it wasn't always closed, just a backup.

"Huyan, the beggar you met on the dock that day will really take the word for us?" Zhu Zhanji asked with his eyes closed.

Hu Yanjin was stunned for a moment, he had already explained this question twice, except for Xu Jiugong, he almost told Zhu Zhanji.

"I think so. No matter what, I'd like to give it a try. ”

"Oh, I originally wanted to spend the New Year's Day in Yingtianfu, but it didn't mean anything at all, but now it's okay, it's even more boring to spend it in the dungeon...... Is it the King of Han or not? Who else but him would be so interested in me? ”

Hu Yanjin didn't speak, only heard Zhu Zhanji still talking to himself:

"If it were the king of Han, he would have imprisoned us in a higher place. Or is it that Zhu Wenzhi...... It's ridiculous, those ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty have already killed a few of them, and they can still make trouble! ”

"It's really strange today, there isn't even a guard inside."

"What's so strange about that? Didn't you hear them today? Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, go up and drink, right? Zhu Zhanji turned over, let's sleep, otherwise I want to eat meat again.

There are no guards because the guards are at the entrance of the cave.

It's already chickens and dogs jumping outside. The two people who jumped in, except for two rows of footprints, couldn't find anyone.

Another team of officers and soldiers came outside the door, insisting that the fugitives had entered the palace and wanted to come in to search for the fugitives.

The two families of the King of Han will bring forty soldiers in the palace, how can the officers and soldiers of the prefect come in to investigate? What's more, the dungeon also privately detained the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty!

So the butler and his servants stopped at the door and did not let them in. The people of the government did not break in or leave, but they talked to the butler at the door.

From the hard work of the servants, who had to catch thieves in Chinese New Year's Eve, to the fact that there has been no increase in the number of Lu rice for ten years, anyway, it is a rotational number.

The people in the palace are tired, and they have to prevent the officers and soldiers from breaking in, and they have to find the two people who jumped into the palace, are they hiding from the officers and soldiers, or are they here to find people?

I just grinded like this for a long time, and suddenly "Bang! The first firecracker of the new year sounded, startling a nervous group of people.

What the buckwheat is waiting for is the moment when the firecrackers go off in every house. Their tunnel, in the sound of firecrackers, connected the passage of the palace dungeon.

This is the suggestion of Huang Zhifu, who said that this section is a simple passage, and no one will be stranded. That's true.

"Brother Huang! Brother! ”

Hua Qiao quickly found Hu Yanjin and them.

"Buckwheat? How are you? Zhu Zhanji turned over and jumped up, he was really surprised and delighted.

Hu Yanjin stood at the door of the cell, he only held Hua Qiao's hand on the iron railing.

The chain that locked the iron door was very thick, and the beggar slashed it with a simple knife, and it actually collapsed.

"I'll try to pick the lock."

Hua Qiao took out the folding dagger and handed it to Hu Yanjin, Hu Yanjin couldn't cry and laughed: "You plan to use it to cut the chain?" ”

"No, use it."

She took out a steel needle from her hat, which Daddy used to puncture the gas-filled carrion, and she carried it with her.

Zhu Zhanji watched Hua Qiao use the long needle to poke up and down in the wide lock, and the lock was opened.

He was even more desperate to catch Hua Youcai, the prophet who had taught his sister strange skills.

The two beggars brought in two straw men, as tall as real people, Hu Yanjin and Zhu Zhanji took off their coats, and they put them on the straw men.

Xiao Gao came from near the entrance of the secret passage and said, "They are all guarding the entrance, and the firecrackers are very noisy outside. ”

When Zhu Zhanji and the others left, Xiao Gao kicked over a brazier for heating.

The straw on the ground immediately burst into flames.
