Chapter 41: Revisited

In Yanfu Palace, Emperor Daojun looked kind and kind, looked at Zhao Ta and said, "Wu'er is here?" ”

Zhao Ta saluted and said, "Daddy's complexion is better today, could it be that his cultivation has gone further?" ”

Emperor Daojun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My son is used to talking, I am comforted!" ”

Zhao Ta said: "It is the duty of a child to be able to relieve his father's labor and worries, and the child is even more happy." ”

Emperor Daojun nodded, looked at Zhao Ta for a moment, pointed to a pair of paperweight lions made of mutton fat jade on the table, and said: "This is a gift from Wang Duwei when I was not on the pole, and I have been with me for several years. ”

Zhao Ta looked at the paperweight lion, it was very well done, delicate and exquisite, and couldn't help but thank him and said: "Thank you daddy for the reward, this object is happy when the child sees it, and I can't wait to put it in front of me from time to time to enjoy it." ”

Emperor Daojun nodded: "Second brother, I called you to ask about it today." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Daddy, please speak, the child listens." ”

Emperor Daojun was silent for a moment and stood up from the dragon chair: "The second brother has been in the outer mansion for a long time, and now he has patrolled the inner and outer cities, you can know ...... What is under the capital? ”

Zhao Ta was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after thinking for a few breaths, he said: "The ditches under the capital are all over the place, criss-crossing and criss-crossed, and if you really talk about the length and shortness, I am afraid that it is as big as Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Emperor Daojun took the lotus flower from behind the chair, held it in his arms and said, "Is there a ditch under this imperial city?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "There is, although this ditch is not an empty place, it is always narrow or wide, but it stretches for a long time, and there is no shortage under the imperial city." ”

Emperor Daojun said: "I see, I think it is because the waterways in Tokyo are developed and it is close to the Yellow River, so it has to be built like this." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Daddy Shengming, I remember reading the living notes of this dynasty, it was said that Emperor Taizu has always wanted to move the capital to Luoyang, Xijing, and eighty percent of the reason is that the terrain of Kaifeng is too flat, there is no danger to defend, and there are floods hanging over the head from time to time, but later because of the convenience of grain, it was delayed. ”

Emperor Daojun coughed lightly: "Earlier, I also saw it, and I know a rough idea, second brother, let me ask you, this underground ditch is so deep and staggered, can there be people living in it?" ”

When Zhao Ta heard this, his face immediately showed a look of struggle, and when he saw that Emperor Daojun's face was a little gloomy, he said: "Daddy, the child doesn't dare to say it!" ”

Emperor Daojun said: "Why don't you dare to say it, you don't say it, I know something, I used troops to suppress it when the country was founded, and Kaifeng Mansion has also been arrested in recent years, but it has not been eradicated, yes or no?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Not only did it not eradicate the roots, but there were more and more murderers in it, committing traitors, robbing and abducting belts, and even dividing factional forces, just like a city under the city!" ”

Emperor Daojun frowned, stretched out his foot and stomped on the ground: "Second brother, then ...... under this imperial city"

Zhao Ta took a step back and said, "Don't dare to hide it from your father, but everywhere there is a ditch, there are murderers, even under this imperial city, I am afraid that it will not be spared!" ”

When Emperor Daojun heard this, he immediately gasped and said angrily: "Kaifeng Mansion should be damned, every year to suppress thieves, but every year it is perfunctory, do you want me to lie on top of the thieves every night!" ”

Zhao Ta's expression was respectful and silent.

Emperor Daojun looked at him with electric eyes: "Second brother, can you relieve my worries?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "I am willing to solve all my worries for my father!" ”

"Good, good!" Emperor Daojun stroked his beard: "Mobilize troops to suppress it, a month...... No, half a month later, I won't be able to see a thief underground! ”

Zhao Ta said: "Yes, the child is ordered!" ”

Emperor Daojun said: "Second brother, if this matter is done, I will have my own reward." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Just to relieve my father's worries, why be greedy for rewards, but I just need to mobilize troops underground, and if I can't say that I can't make a big noise, I don't know the ......ministers in the court."

Emperor Daojun shook the lotus flower dust in his hand, and said coldly: "Next to the couch, others are snoring, and it's a thief, this court, I still have the final say!" ”

When Zhao Ta heard this, he secretly thought that this plan had really come true, it seemed that Zhang Di had not said much, so that he could mobilize troops to exterminate the ghost Fan Lou, he hurriedly said: "The child will live up to his father's will!" ”

After a while, Zhao Ta left the palace and went straight to the Broken Jade Tower.

In the underground secret room of the Broken Jade Building, Ouyang Beizheng was rubbing Zhu Xiaoyi's face with a blade, making the thief tremble like chaff all over his body.

Seeing Zhao Ta coming, Ouyang Bei hurriedly put away the blade and saluted with his crossed hands.

Zhao Ta said: "But what do you ask?" ”

Ouyang Beidao: "Childe, I interrogated with the Lord of the Yellow Mansion in turn, using the method of boiling eagles taught by Gongzi, but this thief's knowledge is really limited, and I don't know where the leader of Sanssouci Cave is underground." ”

Zhao Ta said: "I'm not busy, I'll ask him, you go and call Huang Gu over, and by the way, call the Ding brothers too." ”

Ouyang Bei took the order to go out, Zhao Ta picked up the drawings on the table, and said, "Zhu Xiaoyi, let me ask you again, there are any errors and omissions in this map." ”

Zhu Xiaoyi said weakly: "The real king, how dare the little one coax half a point, the little one grew up in the ghost fan building since he was a child, but he doesn't know whose family was abducted and the child is pitiful, now the real king wants to attack the ghost fan building, the little one can't help the king, how dare he deceive." ”

Zhao said: "Really? ”

Zhu Xiaoyi Si Ai Ai: "The small one has never read a book, but the three sites and the approximate head will not remember badly, but if the underground channel painted is crooked, it is not to blame the small one, it is really crooked and not easy to compare." ”

Zhao Ta said: "I see that on your map, there are two entrances to the Huanxi Cave, which are divided into inside and outside, but what does it mean?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "Huanxi Cave is a women's and children's business, and the obedient ones are sold to the top, and the ones who are chaste and fierce are left to train at home, and they also opened a green building underground. ”

Zhao Ta nodded, this Huanxi Cave not only abducted and trafficked people, but also opened a green building by itself, and it could also solicit business on the ground, I have to say that it is bold.

"How about entering the green building?"

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "The underground green building is called Huanxi Building, and the people below can come and go at will if they have silver, as for the above, they need to be introduced, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter when they see the door." ”

Zhao Ta said: "If I want to go, what do I need to do?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Didn't the real king want to come to the grass to find the snake?" This simple, small and the building of the lock handle style familiar, small lead the way, no problem. ”

Zhao said: "What is a lock handle? ”

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "It is the governor of Huanxi Building, who is in charge of ushering in and sending him up." ”

While talking, a few people came down outside, but it was Huang Gu, Jian Suyi, Ouyang Bei, and the Ding brothers.

A few people saluted, Zhao Ta looked at the Ding brothers, these two are from Moshan Village, Songjiang Prefecture, called Ding Crab, Ding Er Crab is also, usually good at swimming in the water, walking underground.

The two of them came to Kaifeng Mansion to do "business" around them, but unfortunately they were drunk and said nonsense, and were held by the shopkeeper.

To do this kind of deed, he grabbed to parade through the streets, and it happened that Zhao Ta met him, and saw that they had this kind of ability, but they were not evil, so he asked the two to come, and the two were also loyal, and since then they have settled down in the broken jade building.
