Jinyiwei's people asked, and Tang Wenlu naturally didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Hurriedly pointed to a few bamboo baskets in the northwest corner of the courtyard and said, "It's just under those baskets." ”

Suddenly there was an unexpected situation, and the Jinyi Guards were obviously not as polite as just now.

Several people walked over and kicked the baskets aside, revealing a wooden door embedded in the ground.

The wooden door looked a little old, and the nails on it were even rusty.

The people in Jinyi looked at Tang Wenlu coldly: "Since there is a cellar, why didn't you say it just now?" ”

Tang Wenlu looked like he wanted to cry without tears, and stammered and explained: "Big ...... Big...... Your Excellency, you didn't ask just now, did you? ”

Several brocade guards had their hands on the hilt of their knives, carefully pulling the cellar door open.

There was a loud bang.

The door to the cellar flipped to the other side and slammed into the ground.

At the same time, a puff of dust erupted from the cellar.

Looking at it this way, you can see that this cellar must have not been opened for a long time.

Tang Wenlu explained in a panic: "My lord, since the drought, this cellar has not been used for a long time. ”

For his words, the people of Jinyiwei did not believe it so easily.

After a few people discussed it, they sent two people to go down and check the situation inside.

Before I could wait for them to go down, I was stopped by Tang Wenlu.

"Officials, please wait a moment."

At this time, he suddenly blocked it, which inevitably made the people of Jinyiwei start to think more.

"What? Is there something unsightly down there? A man asked coldly.

Tang Wenlu waved his hand again and again and explained: "My lord, please don't misunderstand. ”

"It's just that this cellar has not been used for a long time, and it will inevitably accumulate some filth after a long time."

"If the officials go down rashly, they are likely to be affected by the filth. When the time comes, if something happens, the little old man won't be able to tell. ”

A brocade guard sneered and mocked: "So we can't go down? ”

Of course, Tang Wenlu could clearly hear the sarcasm in his words, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "The little second child didn't mean that. ”

"This cellar is not used all year round, and when it is just opened, people cannot go down immediately, so they need to open this cellar for a period of time, and when the filth dissipates some, they can enter normally."

Hearing his explanation, everyone in Jinyi Wei breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

These brocade guards are all masters who follow Zhu Han's side, and each of them is experienced in a hundred battles.

If these people don't even know this simple truth, where are they still qualified to protect His Royal Highness?

The reason why he acted as if he didn't understand anything was just because all of this was a temptation for Tang Wenlu.

These brocade guards obviously want to do something that may endanger their lives, and the other party, as the owner of the house, knows the danger here, so he will definitely mention it.

If the other person doesn't say anything, no matter how normal he behaves, it means that there must be something wrong with this person.

And since Tang Wenlu brought it up at this time, it at least shows that he has no hostility towards Jinyiwei.

Or rather, there is no hostility towards the imperial court.

The people of the Jinyi guard got off the donkey and waited outside the cellar for about half a pillar of incense, and then sent someone down into the cellar to check.

The cellars in the north are dug quite deep, at least about two meters underground.

And because there are layers of soil on both sides, you don't have to think about ladders or anything.

The cellar is carried out by means of a bamboo basket.

One of the brocade guards sat in a bamboo basket, and several others lowered him under the cellar with ropes.

The Jinyi guard who went in did not make any moves at the first time, but drew his knife and stayed at the entrance of the cave.

After they sent the other man down, the two men lit the candles and began to search the cellar.

The area of this cellar is not particularly large, and it is only two or three steps before it has reached the end.

After lighting the candles, although the light was still dim, it was possible to clearly see the whole cellar.

The two men did not let their guard down because of this, but took knives and struck around.

The purpose of this is to find out if there are any hidden dark layers around the cellar.

After a careful search, they were already completely sure.

It's just an ordinary cellar, and there's nothing else hidden from it.

After the search, the two brocade guards sat on the bamboo basket again and let their companions pull themselves up.

"Checked and there are no problems."

Tang Wenlu also hurriedly laughed and explained: "Official, this is really just a cellar for storing vegetables. ”

Although there was nothing wrong with the inspection, but there was such a big oolong, and the faces of everyone in Jinyiwei were not very good-looking.

Naturally, when he was powerful, he didn't give Tang Wenlu any good looks?

Sending these out of the door, Tang Wenlu stood at the door for a while before daring to close the door again.

It's just that he just closed the door, and those ugly Jinyi guards instantly changed their faces, completely losing the anger they had before.

"How? What problems did you find? ”

Several brocade guards began to babble their opinions.

"It seems that there should be no problem, this boss is behaving normally."

"His son should be a very skilled craftsman, and his skills are quite sophisticated, and he definitely can't be trained in a short period of time."

"I deliberately mentioned the cellar that I didn't find before I went out, and although this guy was a little surprised, there was no panicked look on his face......"

After some analysis by everyone, they all agreed that there was nothing wrong here.

"Okay, then let's move on to the next one."

"Cheer me up, the White Lotus Sect that can still hide in the city now is definitely not a simple role, we can't be careless."

After sending off Jinyiwei's official errand, Tang Wenlu also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Quickly ran to Chen Xueying's side: "Lord Wang, we must get out of here as soon as possible." ”

Chen Xueying was unmoved, and Ban'er said with a smile: "Why do you want to leave?" ”

Seeing that he was still in such a hurry, Tang Wenlu was not as flustered as he was just now: "Lord Wang, since Jinyiwei has found the door, we are no longer safe here." ”

"I think it's better for us to have a different hiding place."

Chen Xueying did not agree with Tang Wenlu's proposal: "I think the opposite of Mr. Tang's ideas. ”

"It's the safest place for us."

"Since Jin Yiwei has searched it, and nothing has been found."

"Naturally, they're going to fool us around."

"If we leave now, we will tell Jinyiwei that we used to stay here."

"At that time, maybe we will be caught by Jinyiwei and find our real hiding place."

"The most dangerous place is sometimes the safest."

It's not that Tang Wenlu doesn't understand these truths, it's just that many things are clear and clear, but after it's his turn, he cares about it instead.

After Chen Xueying's reminder, Tang Wenlu thought carefully for a while and found that compared to other places, the risk of exposure here is indeed quite large.

"The prince is wise, and the old man is ashamed!" Tang Wenlu said half emotionally, half sycophantly.

"By the way?" Chen Xueying suddenly asked seriously: "Have you contacted those people now?" ”

Tang Wenlu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Now is the most nervous time. ”

"Everyone has to cooperate with Jinyiwei's work, and it is too risky to contact that person rashly at this time."

"We can't easily reveal the identity of that person, so it's better to wait and see what happens."

"You can guarantee that as long as the opportunity is right, that person will definitely contact us as soon as possible."

Chen Xueying frowned: "The question now is not whether there is a chance, but if we continue to wait like this, I am worried that there will be people around us who will also take refuge in the Dog Court." ”

This is also the problem that Tang Wenlu is most worried about, the loyalty of those people below the White Lotus Sect is much lower than they imagined.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Wenlu proposed, "Otherwise, let's use some of the White Lotus Sect's "Immortal Methods"? ”

"In any case, let's stabilize people's hearts first."

After Chen Xueying hesitated for a moment, he nodded and said, "Then do as you say, let those people pay attention, and try not to reveal their identities when performing the "Immortal Law"." ”

"Please rest assured."

Early the next morning, news of the appearance of the immortals had already begun to circulate in the city.

"Have you all heard? The Venerable Master of the Temple of Mercy and Grace in the city felt that the people of us and others were suffering too much, so they prepared to pray to the heavens for rain. ”

Even in superstitious antiquity, many people scoffed at these messages.

"Now you know what to ask for rain? What did they do earlier? ”

"If they had started begging for rain in the early days of the drought, maybe they wouldn't have gotten to this problem at all, so what's the point of coming here now?"

"It doesn't make sense, it's a good thing if it can rain at this time."

"I'm curious, how did the Master of the Temple of Mercy and Grace ask for rain?"

Some people who believe in gods and Buddhas nervously reminded: "You guy, whether you believe it or not, don't talk nonsense, why do you even dare to arrange it for the Buddha?" ”

Another person also said, "I've heard that in fact, the master of the Temple of Mercy and Grace has been praying for rain for a long time. ”

"It's just that the reason why it didn't rain before was because God punished today's ......"

When they said this, they didn't dare to say the last few words casually.

Anyway, everyone knows what's going on with this kind of thing, so just understand it.

"Anyway...... The monks of the Temple of Mercy and Grace had buried a stone Buddha in the ground of the temple before the drought. ”

"I chant and pray every day, and now I finally have a response, and the stone Buddha has now broken through the ground and will grow a few inches every day."

"It is said that as long as the Buddha statue comes out of the ground completely, it means that God has forgiven that person's sins and will continue to rain on us."

This is a bit mysterious, and many people around me don't believe it.

"Really? I don't read much, don't lie to me, Buddha statues can grow from the ground? And it's still stone? Do you think we're all stupid? ”

"The Buddha statue came out of the ground? What is it? Ridiculous story? ”

was sprayed by everyone without a word, and the man was immediately angry.

"Don't talk nonsense if you guys don't understand, but I watched the Buddha statue come out of the ground with my own eyes."

"If you don't believe me, just go to the backyard of the Temple of Mercy and Grace."

"The Buddha statue is there now, and the monks of the Temple of Mercy and Grace have specially opened the backyard of the Temple of Mercy and Grace in order to let us ordinary people see this auspiciousness, no matter who it is, as long as you want to go, you can go in and see it!"

"Is there really such a miraculous thing? Let's go and have a look. ”

"Although it is after the catastrophe, the people are still in the stage of recuperation.

Even so, there are still many idlers in the entire Datong Mansion.

Therefore, at this time, the Temple of Mercy and Grace has already been crowded.

It is not too much to describe the crowd outside the temple, and the people waiting to enter the temple to have a look, the queue can hardly see the end at a glance.

However, after seeing the stone Buddha, many people showed disappointment.

In their imagination, it would be an incomparably huge Buddha statue.

However, in fact, just looking at the Buddha's exposed head, the whole Buddha statue should be about the size of an ordinary adult.

Even if it is replaced with stone, the weight is still extremely impressive.

But compared to what they imagined, it was much worse.

And because there are so many people coming in, everyone will worship at most, and the last pillar of incense needs to be replaced by someone else.

I can't tell if this Buddha statue is really elevated.

Some people just questioned their birth and were scolded by others in the crowd.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is the Buddha's manifestation, do you understand? It's not a child's house. ”

"I come to see it every day, and at the beginning, this Buddha statue was only exposed on the top of the head, and in less than a day, it was already so high."

"This is not something that people can freeze out, it must be caused by the laws of the gods."

"If you don't believe it anymore, you can look at the soil around the Buddha statue, it is obviously buried for a long time, and it is definitely not added temporarily."

Although some people still doubt it, they can't stand the sworn explanations of those around them.

Gradually, many people believed that this should indeed be the magic manifestation of the gods.

Since the manifestation of the gods is real, then the punishment of the gods today is naturally rooted in the hearts of these people.

For this situation, it is natural that some people are happy and some are worried.

Tang Wenlu triumphantly reported the situation to Chen Xueying: "Lord Wang, now the people of Datong Mansion already believe that this is God's punishment for Zhu Yuanzhang. ”

"I believe that the dog at this time has begun to be in a hurry and doesn't know how to deal with it."
