Chapter 225: The Underground Palace
Shen Cheng's expression was sincere, and he seemed to be completely on Wen Xian's side, thinking about everything for her.
Wen Xian raised her eyebrows, but didn't say anything else, but first pointed to the sleepy robbers behind the crowd and said, "Those people, Lord Shen knows?" ”
She looked at Shen Cheng with her eyes, trying to find some clues from him.
At this time, she doesn't believe anyone, only what she sees.
However, Shen Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's just that these people were just tied up in the woods, and I looked a little suspicious, so I brought them over." What, Dr. Wen knows? ”
He looked at Wen Xian with a puzzled face, wanting to see the answer in Wen Xian's eyes.
Wen Xian shrugged her shoulders and said unconcernedly: "I don't know each other, they wanted to block the road and rob my carriage, and I tied them up to a tree." I thought about going back and taking people away, but I didn't expect Lord Shen to bring them. ”
"In this case, it is just right to hand over the person to Lord Shen." As she spoke, she casually took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Shen Chengdao, "This is the antidote, after taking it, they will wake up." ”
Regardless of whether they have anything to do with Shen Cheng or not, she doesn't want to delve into it at this time. If necessary, it is okay for her to sell face to Shen Cheng.
"A robber?" Shen Cheng didn't take the antidote, but took two steps back and arched his hand, "In this case, these people will be handed over to Doctor Wen for disposal." ”
He waved his hand and hurriedly asked someone to bring a few robbers over and prepare to hand them over to Wen Xian's people.
"Lord Shen, what are you doing?" Wen Xian refused, "I was going to take it back and hand it over to the government to deal with." ”
"Shen is here to thank Dr. Wen for his righteousness." Shen Cheng smiled and said, "However, Dr. Wen knows more about medicine than Shen. Before that, I also asked Dr. Wen to help take care of these people first. ”
Shen Cheng's appearance of avoiding suspicion made Wen Xian feel funny, but in the end, it eliminated some of Wen Xian's doubts.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey." The smile in Wen Xian's eyes deepened, and she waved her hand to let her people take over the robbers, and then said, "By the way, Lord Shen, do you know what's wrong with this forest?"
I didn't see the kidnappers or my sister, but my people had seen them in the woods, but they were soon gone. ”
This inexplicable situation made Wen Xian have some kind of speculation.
Come to think of it, if there is a problem with this forest, Shen Cheng, as the prefect, should know a lot of news.
But Zhu Qing on the side took the lead in speaking: "I heard that there is a dungeon here in the early years, but I don't know whether it is true or not. There are also people who have made a special trip to explore, but to no avail. ”
The dungeon is often accompanied by treasure, and the temptation of treasure is immense.
Therefore, people often dig and explore here, hoping to dig up treasures.
But after that, Wu Zhi led the garrison to camp outside the city, and this situation was much less.
Zhu Qing wasn't very interested in this, so he just heard about it. He really didn't pay much attention to the specific situation.
However, I don't know if there is a dungeon, but there are really a lot of tunnels.
"The dungeon?" Wen Xian was surprised, "So, they may be in the underground palace?" ”
If there is an underground palace, then it can be explained. In the dark night before, they saw Xia Zhi and a few people appear from time to time and disappear, presumably because of the underground palace.
"Zhu Gongzi is right." Shen Cheng frowned and said, "If you hide in the underground palace, it's really hard to find." ”
He paused and continued, "However, don't worry, Doctor Wen. This is happening on my turf, and I will give Dr. Wen a satisfactory answer. ”
Wen Xian was surprised: "Lord Shen means that you know where the entrance and exit of the underground palace are?" ”
"I don't know the entrance and exit of the dungeon, but Shen knows the entrance and exit of the tunnel." Shen Cheng said, "Doctor Wen, please come with me." ”
His people were very familiar with this wood, and they took Wen Xian around and around, and soon found three entrances and exits.
One of the three entrances and exits is in a hunting trap, one in a stout tree, and the other in a cave.
Such a hidden entrance and exit is really very conceivable. No wonder I took someone to look for it again and again in the dark, but I didn't find a problem.
As soon as Wen Xian wanted the special forces to go in and take a look, she was stopped by Shen Cheng.
Shen Chengdao: "The situation inside is complicated, and Dr. Wen doesn't need to take this risk." Just hold one exit and set fire to smoke in the other two. ”
If there are really people inside, burn the fire and set off the smoke, and force a few people to come out.
Wen Xian took a deep breath and said, "Lord Shen thinks this is catching rabbits?" ”
Burn the fire and set off the smoke, what if Xia Zhi and a few people are smoked to death. is not Shen Cheng's person, of course Shen Cheng is not distressed.
Or, Xia Zhi and Wu Junlan are inside. But the people inside are stubborn, and they would rather die than obey, wouldn't that be even worse.
Shen Cheng smiled and said, "Doctor Wen is too worried, how can you know if you can't do it if you don't try." Rest assured, if there is a situation, just stop immediately. ”
said that if you set it on fire, the people brought by Shen Cheng immediately dispersed. Some guarded the exit, and some began to collect firewood, ready to light the fire and set off the smoke.
At the entrance of the three caves, Shen Cheng chose to send more people to guard the exits in the trunks of the trees, and set fires in the caves and traps.
After all, trees are easy to burn, and if the whole forest is involved, it will be troublesome.
Shen Cheng repeatedly promised that he would only force the people inside out, and he would definitely not smoke people to death. Wen Xian reluctantly agreed to try, but she had to stop at any time.
And it turned out that burning the fire and setting off the smoke was the right choice.
Not long after it began, footsteps could be heard in the hollow of the tree.
The people at the door are waiting for the people inside to come out and take it.
Wen Xian was also very nervous in her heart, staring at the entrance of the cave and unable to take her eyes off.
However, the person who ran out was actually Xia Zhi's person. And Xia Zhi, Wu Junlan and the unknown kidnappers don't even have a shadow.
"Where's your master?" Wen Xian motioned for the special forces to take away the sword around the two of them's necks, and frowned, "She's with you, why did you two come out?" ”
One of these two people was the shopkeeper I saw at the brewery last time.
It stands to reason that this shopkeeper is extremely loyal to Xia Zhi, and he will not leave Xia Zhi alone.
"Ahem, cough~" The shopkeeper coughed violently a few times, and said with a puzzled face, "My master hasn't been here, but the girl is wrong?" ”
Then, he coughed a few more times, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and said, "I would like to ask the girl what this means, why do you want to put me to death?" ”
Isn't burning a fire and setting off smoke to smoke people to death in a hole?
Wen Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned her head towards Shen Cheng and said, "Labor continues to burn the fire." ”
As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper, who was originally calm, suddenly shrank his pupils and said, "What does this mean, girl?" We still have people in there. But it's just curiosity to go in and see, sin is not to death. ”
"Curious?" Wen Xian snorted coldly and said, "Hand over your master, otherwise, don't talk about you, even your Ruyi Wine Shop will be finished." ”
