The oil lamp fell to the floor with the table and went out, and the room became dark.

Zhuang Rou picked up the lamp and lit it, then cleaned up the broken wood on the ground, revealing the floor below, and she looked at it carefully.

After a while, she finally found a crack, and if she didn't lie on the ground and look at it like this, she wouldn't have found it at all. It's just that the slit is too small, Zhuang Rou looked down at her nails, and it seemed that she couldn't fit in.

So, she stood up and started looking for it.

If it was a tunnel underneath, they couldn't just wait for the people inside to come out, there should have been tools to pry open the floor, and she was sure it wouldn't be too hidden.

After all, it is an important thing, and you can't look for it when you want it temporarily, and you will definitely be scolded if you delay it.

The quickest way to do this is to ask the two directly.

Zhuang Rou turned her head and glanced at Yinba, thinking that it was better to forget it, if she could still ask now, then she would be the king of Yama.

Turning her head, she saw several iron rods hanging from the pillars in the room, one of which had a very thin tip, like a blade.

She took the iron rod off and stuck it into a crack in the floor, and without much force, she picked up a plank. There is a deep pit underneath, and there are many wooden planks inserted into the wall on the side, and a hemp rope is hung for people to get up and down.

Zhuang Rou wanted to take a look at the situation below, and when she looked at it, her eyes met a person in the pit.

The people below didn't expect that after the wooden board was lifted, the head that poked out would be someone they didn't know at all, and the two suddenly stared at each other with big eyes and were stunned.

The man in the pit seemed to be about to come up, and Zhuang Rou also recognized his appearance, which was the second butler of Song Yi. She knows each other, but the other party doesn't know her, and she has heard of it, but it's really rare to see a real person.

Zhuang Rou opened her mouth first, "Second housekeeper, why are you only coming back now, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Who are you?" The second housekeeper was a little puzzled, where did this woman come from, and she dared to run out. The rebels are not as disciplined as they were a few days ago, not only robbing money and food to catch strong men, but also women.

Don't care if it's ugly, as long as it's not an old lady, you can carry it all away. frightened the families with women in every village and household, not only did they paint their daughter's face black, but also changed into men's clothes and hid them in the cellar, so they were afraid that they would be dragged away for fear of being seen by others.

Zhuang Rou can see that this tunnel is definitely not a hiding place, who will hide his family here, and if he wants to hide, he must not be far from He'an Town. When you run away, whether it's by land or water, you can run fast!

This kind of secret passage close to Hongzhou City is definitely the one that leads to the city.

can dig a tunnel under the eyes of the rebels and not be discovered, this Song Yi doesn't seem to believe Yang Rong very much. I was afraid that my whole family would also be killed, so I used my relationship with Yang Rong to dig a secret passage that could escape from the city.

She squinted her eyes and smiled: "Second steward, my lord asked me to ask Song Xianjun, is this secret path going to be known to the army?" Staying outside the city for a long time and not being able to attack, the adults are very irritable. How many fighters will have to be delayed, I'm afraid you don't want to live. ”

"The general said, for the sake of Song County's usual loyalty, let me come over and ask, do you want to make up for your merits or do you plan to join the imperial court?"

When the second housekeeper heard this, his feet suddenly went weak and he almost knelt down, and he wanted to escape inside while holding on to the wall. As soon as he turned around, a red object fell from the hole and smashed it in front of him.

"Ahh The second housekeeper fixed his eyes, and immediately sat on the ground in fright and screamed. It was a bloody and mutilated corpse, no longer recognizable, and there were other people's cries in the cave, and I don't know how many people were startled by this corpse.

Zhuang Rou said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Shut up, let them all come up for me." Otherwise, just wait for Ha'an Town to be flattened, and none of your family members will be able to escape. ”

"You also know this person below, he is one of the two people who are guarding here for you, and he still wants to commit murder to me, which is really bold."

She smiled and said, "Come up, the adults can save you from death, of course, you have to do things for the adults wholeheartedly first." Obedient understand? ”

In the pit was the coachman, and some of them tried to escape, but were pulled back by the people who heard the words from behind. If they run away, the wives and children in the family will all die.

The rebels have always been ruthless, and if they really want to launch a surge, Ha'an Town may really be finished.

The second housekeeper was frightened by the dead body, and cried and begged: "My lord! We're coming right away, and we're coming up. ”

Seeing that they were coming up, Zhuang Rou took the oil lamp aside and blew it out directly. The room suddenly became dark, and only the candle flame in the pit and the lantern in the hand of the second steward could bring a glimmer of light.

The people in the pit were led by the second butler, and no one wanted to be the first to come up, pushing him back and forth, and finally pushing him to the front.

The second butler's feet slipped twice before he was pushed up by the people below, which made him angry and itchy in his teeth. These ungrateful guys, when this matter is resolved, they must be driven out of He'an Town to be homeless!

He cursed in his heart and climbed up, and the lantern was immediately snatched away by Zhuang Rou, and it was broken with one foot.

Zhuang Rou didn't want them to see her appearance, so it was okay for her to say it alone, but the silver bully sitting in the corner would betray her identity in an instant.

In addition to the coachman and the second housekeeper, Zhuang Rou also found two more people, and they also squatted together honestly. She pretended not to know that the two people did not come with the second housekeeper, dragged the chair and sat down, staring at a few people coldly.

"It's so bold that I made a tunnel to Hongzhou City, and I dared to hide it. Say! What's going on? Zhuang Rou suddenly shouted.

The second housekeeper hurriedly lay on the ground and begged: "My lord, this tunnel is not done by our county lord alone, it is the rich families in the city who pooled money together, and it leads to more than one place." We just want to make meritorious contributions, and when the time comes, we should open the city gates and welcome the adults into the city. ”

"It's really not that I want to communicate with the court, our lord is dedicated to following the prince, and he has never been double-minded."

They were all frightened, digging a tunnel but not telling Zhou Long, not thinking about making some contributions, and being knighted and crowned in the future. This is to report the authentic matter, and the army will enter the city along the tunnel, and this credit will have nothing to do with them.

To put it mildly, it was enough for them to lose their heads.

Zhuang Rou rolled her eyes in her heart, of course she knew that Song Yi and Yang Rong were in the same group, but she didn't expect Song Yi to distrust them as well. This secret passage let Zhou Long know that Hongzhou City had already been defeated.

If you want to make meritorious service and want to be a wall grass at any time, the old fox is really good at calculating.

At this time, the second housekeeper took out a piece of paper as if offering a treasure, and sent it to Zhuang Rou with both hands, "My lord, this is an authentic map, just to spare our lives." We really have no objections, and we hope that the adults will find out. ”

Zhuang Rou stretched out her hand to catch the paper, but found that it was not twitching, and when she looked up, she saw that the second housekeeper was looking at a corner of the room in a daze.

She sneered: "Second housekeeper, let it go." ”

A beast stood up in the corner where the second steward was staring, took two steps forward, and revealed itself in the light of the pit.

He stammered, "This ...... This is, you are..."

"yes, I am." Zhuang Rou smiled, and a hand knife hit him on the wrist. As soon as the second housekeeper was in pain, his hand was released, and the piece of paper made Zhuang Rou pull it into his hand.

The second housekeeper didn't care about the paper, and rushed to the door desperately, shouting: "Run!" She's a demonic classic! ”

The squatting person was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, and also got up and fled in all directions.

At the same time, Yinba didn't need Zhuang Rou's order to pounce on them.

Zhuang Rou said lightly: "I also said that I would let you live, but I didn't expect you to kill yourself." ”
