The county ya's inner house, that is, the place where the county commander Song Zhili lived, when a water tank in the courtyard was removed, revealing the hole below, Song Zhili's face was full of shock.

He's lived here for so many years, and he didn't even know that there was a secret passage here?

Cheng Xiao was the first to get into the secret passage, and after a short time, he brought out three children from inside, two of which were Song Zhili's son Song Youwen and daughter Song Yourong, and the other teenager was Cheng Xiao's son!

At this moment, Mrs. Song was also present, and suddenly saw the child who was still missing, she hurriedly hugged her son and daughter, hugged her head and cried.

"Oh my God," cried Madame Song, "what the hell is going on, we have searched all over the county, and you are hiding in your own house!" But I'm scared of my mother, woo woo......"

After just a few tears, she remembered to check on the children's condition, only to find that the children were all ruddy-complexion, in normal spirits, and did not even mean to be frightened.

At the same time, Cheng Xiao was also checking his child, and he was relieved when he found that the child was also fine.

"Huh?" Song Zhili looked at Cheng Xiao's son stunned and asked, "Cheng Zhutou, what's going on?" How come your child is here? ”

"I hid Cheng Zhutou's children here," the monk Qi Yunzheng said, "This is my backup plan, once you don't catch the Ghost Face Killer, Cheng Zhutou will help me escape!" ”

"Huh?" Song Zhili was surprised, "That...... Why didn't you run away? ”

"Lord Song, the real ghost-faced killer has been caught," Qi Yunzheng said, "I naturally want to stay as a witness and avenge my brother." Besides, I killed three people in a row, and my hands were stained with sins, so naturally I have to be judged! ”

"Huh? Isn't that right? Chen Houlu suddenly wanted to understand something, and hurriedly pointed at Qi Yunzheng and shouted, "You still have an accomplice, this accomplice must be someone from the Yamen!" Otherwise, Miss Childe, they would have starved to death after hiding inside for so many days, and said, you...... Who are your accomplices? ”

"My accomplice is my second sister Qi Qiaomei," Qi Yunzheng told the truth, "Her current name is Lingshu, and she is the maid of Lord Song's family. ”

"Huh!?" Hearing this, Mrs. Song was startled, "Lingshu? She...... She's your accomplice? ”

"Yes, mother," said eleven-year-old Song Youwen, "it was Aunt Lingshu who brought me here, saying that something big was going to happen to the yamen, and she asked us to hide inside and come out when the crisis was over." ”

"Yes," echoed nine-year-old Song Yourong, "she also prepared a lot of toys for us, which was a lot of fun." ”

"Lingshu...... Why didn't I see it? Mrs. Song suddenly realized, "No wonder, in Thin Willow Town, so many of us are stunned......

"Huh? What about Lingshu? What about people? ”

"It seems to be ......," Steward Wang looked around and said, "It seems that he went out to buy vegetables in the morning, right?" ”

"No need to look for it," Qi Yunzheng said, "My sister is gone!" We are all in the family, we must keep one alive, right? ”

"......" Mrs. Song and Song Zhili glanced at each other, their expressions were very ugly.

"That's not right," Song Zhili was so smart that he immediately found the problem and asked the monk, "Qi Yunzheng, you should have other accomplices!" This secret passage ...... But I don't even know, so how do you know? ”

"yes, I don't know!" Chen Houlu hurriedly clarified.

"This is simple, as early as when I caught Tong County's order, I had already asked this secret passage from his mouth," Qi Yunzheng said, "Coincidentally, it just so happened that my sister was already lurking in your Song family, so we temporarily decided to hide the hostages here."

"As the saying goes, it's dark under the lights, and the most dangerous places are the safest."

"Really?"

Song Zhili still has some doubts, but since it has been pushed to Tong County, there is no proof of death.

Besides, at this time, it is not so important whether Qi Yunzheng still has accomplices.

In fact, his suspicion was right, the person who really knew this secret passage was Shen Mingchen.

"My lord, my lord's ......" At this moment, a government official hurriedly came to report, "Lord Song, it's not good, our yamen has all been blocked!" ”

"Blockade?" Chen Houlu was taken aback, "Who is it?" ”

"Who else," Song Zhili said, "it must be Lord Assassin!" Alas...... The official ...... But you people are completely miserable! ”

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Xu Zhen, because if it weren't for Xu Zhen, he would at least not be an enemy of Cui Xiaotian.

As long as you don't mess with Cui Xiaotian, there will be no current crisis!

Xu Zhen felt Song Zhili's gaze, and hurriedly took advantage of the unpreparedness and kicked Qi Yunzheng in the back.

"Oh...... Oh, oh, oh......" Qi Yunzheng remembered something at this time, and hurriedly folded his hands and called the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, Lord Song, the poor monk has two proverbs to send each other, one is: Misfortune and blessing rely on, and blessing and misfortune lie in wait."

"Another sentence is: But do good deeds, don't ask about the future!"

Hearing this, the scene was instantly silent.

Qi Yunzheng's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and he said it too quickly, looking particularly deliberate and embarrassed.

"The master's proverb is really appropriate!" Song Zhili smiled bitterly, "Now that the official can't even save his life, what is the future of the question?" ”

"Lord Song," Chen Houlu hurriedly came up with an idea, "Since they want Cui Xiaotian, then why don't you just give Cui Xiaotian to them?" ”

"No!" Shen Mingchen hurriedly retorted, "Let Cui Xiaotian go, none of us will survive!" Don't say that the assassin can't spare us, even Cui Xiaotian himself will inevitably come back to take revenge. ”

"Oh, what are you talking about?" Suddenly, Mrs. Song was anxious and complained to everyone, "The children are all here, what are you dead or alive, don't scare the children!" ”

Right......

Only then did everyone realize that the occasion was wrong, and hurriedly settled the children first, and then went to the inner hall together to discuss important matters.

Song Zhili is really a ruthless person, as soon as everyone entered the house, he said in public:

"Chongning County Treasury Granary had a serious deficit reselling incident that year, resulting in the emptiness of the grain depot, in the second year of Changle, at the time of disaster relief, Han Wentao burned the granary in order to cover up the crime and burned more than 50 mouthfuls!"

"......" Everyone suddenly felt like they were burned, and they all secretly cursed the street in their hearts.

It was made clear that Song Zhili wanted to tie everyone to a rope.

"Han Wentao naturally acted according to orders, but his correspondence with his superiors was robbed by Cui Xiaotian, so he fell into the handle......" Song Zhili was out of control, "Of course, these are just the tip of the iceberg, Cui Xiaotian is good at this, and he still has the criminal evidence of officials at all levels in Songzhou, and these incriminating evidence are all fatal."

"What's even more powerful is that Cui Xiaotian has also established a life-saving mechanism for himself, as long as he is killed, then these incriminating evidence will be directly submitted to the cabinet, or directly to the saint!

"So," Song Zhili said as if he was breaking the jar, "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, everyone, let's see how this scene should end?" ”

"......" everyone covered their faces.

"Xu Zhen," Song Zhili said to Xu Zhen, "You are our think tank, come on, come on, you can come up with an idea, right?" ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen was even more ruthless than Song Zhili, and immediately turned to the monk and asked, "Qi Yunzheng, hurry up and tell me, is there any other exit from that secret passage, can you run?" ”
