.Xi Chao said lightly: "What's wrong?"

"How could Xie An admit defeat so easily? He has an adopted son who is making trouble, and he should be able to fight again."

"Maybe he is tired, or maybe he really has other mystery as Wang Duwei said, but I have thought about it because I am thinking about these things. What I have to consider is how to carry out the major affairs of Duke Huan."

Xi Chao's voice was a little lonely. At this moment, he knew that there was a fraud, but he still didn't want to point out. Seeing the fate of Xie An and Wang Tanzhi, he felt a little sad.

Wang Xun was not as emotional as him. Xie An and Wang Tanzhi were actually dead in his eyes. The Grand Sima did not kill them because the time was not right. They had to wait until everything was settled and the soldiers and horses of the states were firmly in the hands of their own people. Killing these two people would not be in trouble; even if they change, they would naturally be able to suppress them.

In Wang Xun's opinion, this was an opportunity to show his talents; he secretly issued instructions to his subordinates, one was to find the secret room. It was no secret that every family had a secret room these days, and the mystery of finding the secret room was revealed; the other was to continue to monitor this place closely. If Xie An was not dead, he might have emerged, but the place was destroyed, and there was no more reason to send the imperial guards to guard here, so this task was handed over to the Black Guard.

The news of Xie An Wang Tanzhi's death spread throughout the capital soon. The two great gentry clans of the Great Jin Dynasty were once a first-rank official and were very popular. Once they declined, they were so fast. After decades of hard work and generations of people worked hard, they ended up with rubble and bones that were difficult to distinguish. How could they not sigh?

The government and the country were shocked, and the people were also extremely surprised. It seemed that the rumors of Wang and Xie's family were imprisoned by the emperor in the past were not groundless. Otherwise, with the power of Wang and Xie's family, why should we take the path of **?

After hearing the news, Han Mu and others quickly made preparations. According to the agreement, on the fourth night of the fire burning the two palaces, the two families would have to come out of the secret room, and they would have to quickly move to the safety of the backyard of Wa Cang Temple, so Han Mu and others began to discuss in detail how to proceed with the next step of evacuation.

"The Grand Marshal, the journey from Wuyi Lane to Wafeng Temple is relatively long, one south and one north. If there are no chariots, horses, boats, and boats, it may take two or three hours to reach it. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare chariots, horses and other transportation. Otherwise, for such a long time, a team of more than 100 people will be noticed by soldiers patrolling the city. According to the villain, it is still more suitable for waterways. First, the waterways are only the soldiers patrolling the nearest waterside camp, and the large ships in the waterside camp are limited, so it is impossible to inspect as frequently as land-based soldiers and horses, which is convenient for evacuation."

Tan Qing pointed to the simple map drawn by Han Mu, and he was one of the two brothers who took Han Mu on the red boat to lead the pursuers into Yanque Lake that day. They immediately abandoned the boat and went into the water when they arrived at the center of the lake, swam back to the shore, and returned safely, causing the navy camp to mobilize but were wiped out.

Han Mu pondered: "Brother Tan said it, but the waterway is also dangerous. Whether from the east or west of the city, the waterway can only enter Qingxi from Huai River. This waterway to the west is even more undesirable. Going north through six bridges to reach Qingxi, you have to pass through the moat outside the imperial city, which is obviously too dangerous. The waterway to the east is closer, but as Brother Tan said, since the red boat killed dozens of soldiers that day, the military ship patrols between the Huai River on Qingxi Road have also become dense. Once the water is discovered, it is even more inescapable, and it is not as easy as land to hide."

Chen Chong rubbed his forehead and said, "This matter is really difficult to decide, but the danger by land is obviously greater, and he also has to detour by Zhuque Bridge. The danger of water is slightly smaller, but once he is discovered, he cannot get out. What should he do?"

Han Mu thought for a while and said, "It's better to go from the east to the waterway. In order to ensure that everything is safe, we will first understand the patrol rules of the patrol military ships tonight and tomorrow, and then set up a small boat to explore the way first, and avoid it in time."

Now that the ships are arranged and emergency carriages are arranged, the ships are not worried. Tan Qing and Tan Bai have three fishing boats at home. The only thing that everyone is worried about is that there are not enough people paddling.

Han Mu smiled and said, "Let's go slowly when you go. When you come back, more than a hundred people are still afraid that no one will row? You just need to take the rudder and prepare the oars."

Everyone laughed and called themselves stupid.

On this side, the action was tense, and Wang Xun was about to explode. The ruins of the Wang and Xie mansions were not moving for two days and two nights in a row. Sima Huan said in front of him that Xie An and Wang Tanzhi were pretending to die, and asked him to dig three feet into the ground to dig them out, but it was not easy.

During the day, Wang Xun mobilized more than a thousand guards to dig the ruins randomly, but the two mansions were once rich and honored. When building the mansions, they were extremely particular. Except for the soil in the courtyard, the foundations were paved with bluestone in the rest of the buildings. It was too difficult to dig this bluestone layer several feet thick. The soil in the garden was dug deep, but except for the soil, it was almost four feet deep, and water was seeping out from the ground.

On the evening of the third day, Wang Xun was walking in the Duwei Mansion like an ant in a hot pan to find a solution; suddenly, the deputy supervising the excavation sent someone to report that he had dug up the secret room, waiting for Lord Wang to decide whether to open the bluestone gate. Wang Xun was ecstatic and rushed to the scene quickly.

Beside a small pavilion that was not burnt in appearance, the bluestone foundation was overturned to more than two feet underground. It is obvious that a huge bluestone was erected in the soil. It was obviously not natural, but an upright wall on the side of the secret room. Although there was no import, from this way, this secret room was built under the pavilion, with the foundation of the pavilion as the top, surrounded by large bluestone, and the soil inside must have been emptied and transported out from an exit.

Wang Xun couldn't help but feel excited and ordered: "Dig apart from both sides and find the entrance."

The soldiers used their best to widen the bluestone to both sides, and they did not emptiate the surrounding foundation and soil until dark. However, there was no import to the four walls of the entire secret room. At this time, the pavilion stood alone like a hat from this square secret room.

Wang Xun was even more excited when he didn't find the entrance, which shows that this is definitely the authentic Xie family secret room. It would be strange if the Xie family secret room is so easy to find the import.

The soldiers launched a fierce attack to flatten the pavilion and wiped out the foundation, but they were still stunned. The bottom of the foundation was still covered with large pieces of bluestone, and the entire secret room was now completely exposed, like a box pressed to the ground.

"Smash the bluestone on the top with a sledgehammer." Wang Xun's voice changed.

"But what if there is someone inside?" the deputy asked timidly.

"We dug for so long, they can't come out, but we can't blame us." Wang Xun said fiercely.

"Smash!" The deputy also wanted to finish his work earlier. He had been doing physical work for a day. He hadn't eaten dinner yet, and his clothes were sweating. These days it was just the cold spring. It's a fucking thing.

The big iron hammer hit the bluestone slab with a shock, and the sparks burst out. He was upset when he heard it. Such a reckless method was obviously to the point where he could not imagine. Wang Xun had no patience to ask a few stonemasons to slowly praise it with the iron pianzi. He saw everything inside when he wanted a horse.

Hard work pays off. With the bang of five soldiers of the 13th Team, the bluestone slabs finally shattered into pieces after a roar. The bluestone collapsed, and a sound of shattering came from the dark secret room, as if there was a sound of some jars and jars being broken.

"There is no one inside." A soldier holding a torch next to him looked in.

"Bastard, go in and see what can you see outside? It's dark." Wang Xun cursed, his fat body trembling excitedly.

Five or six soldiers held torches and slipped out along the slope of the collapsed bluestone slab. People outside, including Wang Xun, stretched their necks and looked down.

"What's there?" Wang Xun shouted.

"The ground is full of water, and many pots were broken. No, it is not water, it is..." The soldier put the torch closer to the ground and looked carefully.

"It's tincture..." A heart-wrenching shout resounded throughout the open space. The soldier's torch had just approached the ground. With a bang, a flame suddenly rose and instantly rose about a squat of high. Five or six soldiers inside were submerged by the sudden sea of ​​fire, all of them became firemen, shouting and flapping in the fire; the rising flames all flirted with the circle of people around who were lying on their necks and looking down.

Of course, the soldiers went down, but they were all officials who were qualified to stand at the top and stretch their necks. The officials immediately caught fire with their eyebrows, beards, and hair. Two people were unsteady and fell down the pit. The others covered their faces and rolled on the ground, and the air was filled with a smell of meat.

Wang Xun is also one of them. He is short and can be stretched out his neck lightly. He needs to stick out half of his body. His lower body is on fire. However, he has always regarded himself as a civil servant, never wears armor, and likes to make a romantic and elegant look. This time he is in trouble. His clothes, hat, eyebrows, beard, and hair are on fire. The soldiers around him reacted, but they couldn't find water to put out the fire for a while, so they had to press him into the pit and sprinkle mud on his face.

After struggling for a while, almost buried half of Wang Xun's body alive, then extinguished the fire and pulled him out like a carrot. Wang Xun was burned from his chest like a braised pig, with no hair, his face muscles were burnt and terrible, and he had already fainted.
