"It must have been two or three hours since we fell, right? After tossing for so long, I was so hungry that I panicked. ”

"Yes! I didn't get a drop of water, and I was really tired. ”

There was no light in this small hole in the past, so it was possible that the outside was really not a tribute courtyard, but more likely another secret room.

Su Yizhao's heart sank, but he didn't say it. Now everyone is hanging by a glimmer of hope, If you know that there is still a secret room behind the stone gate, I am afraid that it will completely collapse.

Is it true that there is only one hand to exit, and the others are used to deceive people?

Su Yizhao touched Acacia, "Acacia!" You should be able to get through this little hole, right? You help us go over and have a look. ”

Acacia did not delay, and immediately ran out.

Su Yijue's mood was also a little heavy, and he understood what Su Yizhao meant.

"Let's rest in place, and find out if there is any other way out."

In fact, there is no need for Su Yizhao to say, they have already sat on the ground lifelessly.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Acacia returned.

"The outside is blocked by big rocks, it looks like it's collapsed! But further outside, it seems to be a secret room. I took a look, and there was a stone staircase on it. ”

"Stone steps?" Su Yizhao immediately thought of the exit, the stone steps were for climbing out.

"What about the stone steps? Is it sealed? Su Yizhao immediately asked.

"Yes! When I reached the top of the stone steps, I couldn't get out. ”

In this way, the stone steps are the exit, and perhaps the mechanism needs to be activated, or it may only need to be opened by itself.

But Acacia is not a human being, and it will definitely not be able to be pushed.

In this way, moving the rescue soldiers is the most effective way. Zong Zeming was outside, but he must not be close to them, otherwise they shouted so loudly, it was impossible for Zong Zeming not to hear them.

"Acacia, you go and see again. There's no way to get out? You don't have to walk up the stone steps, maybe there is a small hole next to it? After being burned by fire, there will definitely be a collapse. ”

Since there is a collapse here, it means that it was still affected by the fire on the ground.

Acacia immediately ran out again, Su Yizhao felt a little sorry for its claws, but now it can only rely on Acacia.

Acacia went all the way to the steps, and then looked left and right.

When it saw a gap, it went in, but after drilling in several places, it hit the wall.

Lovesick screamed hatefully, and found a small hole to drill into.

It didn't know how long it had been drilling, and when it saw the light it hadn't seen for a long time, its eyes narrowed, and it was overjoyed.

I shouted a few times around, and after a while, three rat brothers and rats ran over.

A fire not only burned many people, but also burned many animals that did not have time to escape.

The only three left ones are considered lucky.

There was a squeak towards them, and the three of them immediately dispersed, and Acacia glanced behind him, and then quickly rushed out.

When it arrived at the same place, it was overjoyed to find the two men still waiting.

The guards watched Acacia run from other places, and gestured at him for a while, and immediately understood its purpose.

"Follow it!" The guard shouted to the scar-faced man behind him, and then ran away with Acacia.

They ran all the way to the large kitchen in the Gong Courtyard, and Acacia swooped into the utility room in the original large kitchen.

The fire burned through the kitchen, and the utility room burned to the ground.

The guard and Scarface walked around the utility room and finally found the anomaly in the corner.

……

"Su Aiqing, don't worry, I will definitely give you justice in this matter."

The emperor stepped forward to personally help Su Jinxun, but Su Jinxun shook his head and refused.

The emperor's face froze, but he still eased up.

"Your Majesty! Although the men in the courtiers are prosperous, there are very few people who are promising. Su Yizhao and Su Yijue are the sons of the courtiers who have high hopes, and they shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the family. ”

Su Jinxun's expression was firm, "The ministers are still two of them who have lost their beloved grandsons, and they also ask the emperor to severely punish the officials of the Ministry of Rites who participated in the Spring Festival this time." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wang Deng bore the brunt of this and had to pay for it. ”

"Su Jinxun! Don't be ignorant, the emperor has already given you enough face, what else do you want? ”

Wang Deng, who was kneeling on the side, was anxious, in fact, he was also prepared, and the demotion was inevitable.

But if Su Jinxun continues to entangle, then he won't even be able to return to his hometown.

"Why do you still have the face to say this? The families of those candidates are still beating drums outside to sue the royal complaint, you ask them, will they give up? ”

Su Jinxun looked at Wang Deng mockingly, "Because of his own selfishness, he disregarded so many human lives in vain, and he should never be forgiven." ”

"Those old people have lost their beloved sons, those women have lost their husbands, and those children have lost their fathers, how innocent are they? How will they make a living? How can it continue? ”

Su Jinxun pointed at Wang Deng and complained angrily.

"Two hundred and ninety-eight! How can you be so unconscionable and watch them die? ”

Su Jinxun said that it was already old tears, they, "The death of so many young talents is a loss to the imperial court!" They are all outstanding talents selected from all over the dynasty, and it is the time for the emperor to employ people, what should you be guilty of? ”

As he spoke, a sharp glint in his eyes erupted.

"If you change to a minister, the minister will immediately put three feet of white silk to settle his soul, and live in the world without shame."

Su Jinxun's words were not serious, and even the emperor was taken aback.

"Su Jinxun, don't stand and talk without backache. In that situation, if it were you, how would you choose? ”

Wang Deng was so angry that he was spitting, wasn't it difficult for him?

"The lives of so many people in the city will even affect the palace. Tell me, how do you choose? ”

"The matter has come to this point, and minimizing casualties is what this officer should do. You are for your own selfishness, and you have no regard for the lives of the people in the city. ”

The emperor looked at the red-eyed two arguing, and couldn't help but have a headache.

"Don't use such an excuse to cover up your cowardice, even if you open the dragon gate at that time, you can quickly control the fire. You can also call on the people in the vicinity to prepare in advance and spontaneously put out the fire. As long as you are prepared, there will be more people fighting fires. ”

Su Jinxun took a breath and continued: "It was you who were timid and afraid of things, which caused such a tragic consequence. It was your incompetence that led so many people to die. ”

Wang Deng was so angry that he pointed at Su Jinxun and scolded, "You fart!" You're just arguing with words. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and cried to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the fire was originally under control, but the sudden wind fueled the fire, which was not done by manpower. What's more, the situation was critical at that time, where was the time to prepare so much? It's just an instant effort, and it's out of control. ”

"Before that, you should have opened the dragon gate and arranged for someone to go in to put out the fire, but you stood by and watched, anyway, it was all because of your dereliction of duty, and you still want to shirk it?"

Su Jinxun had to pull Wang Deng down today, and he even wanted to fool the past, don't even think about it.
