"Hey!" Ji Sheng subconsciously wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Zhao Wei.
"But Prince, here..."
Zhao Xun said: "She will go by herself."
After saying that, Zhao Yu turned to look at Xia Zhaoyi: "Ah Li, isn't she a criminal? Why don't you arrest her?"
Xia Zhaoyi's eyebrows showed no emotion. She calmly watched Chen Yunqi's back disappear into the darkness: "If she doesn't want to leave, it will be difficult for us to take her back."
Thinking of Xia Zhaoxue's previous principle of not killing the old man from Liling, Zhao Yu said deliberately: "If she commits a murder, it doesn't matter if we set up a private court and kill her to do justice to God."
"Her father is the culprit," Xia Zhaoyi said, turning to look for Shen Lie, "Although she has committed a crime, her crime is not worthy of death. As for other murder cases, it will take three trials to determine her innocence."
Zhao Xun followed: "Don't you have a whip? Tie her with a whip and then take her away."
Xia Zhaoyi ignored him.
All the boxes in the darkroom were opened by Shen Lie. They were all corpses, except for the head and limbs.
Xia Zhaoyi went in: "Shen Lie?"
Shen Lie was standing in front of the innermost box, looking at the corner. When he heard the words, he turned back and said, "Ah Li, there is a secret passage."
Xia Zhaoyi frowned and walked over quickly.
A square secret passage about two and a half feet high was opened in the corner of the stone wall, half-covered by boxes.
There was a lot of blood at the entrance of the secret passage and the ground nearby, with different colors. Some of the blood was bright red, and there was blood foam on it.
"There is blood from wounds, and there is also blood spit out from the mouth." Shen Lie said.
Xia Zhaoyi looked around: "It's very possible that she ran away when we first came here."
After thinking about it, Xia Zhaoyi turned around and walked towards Feng Qingang's torture instrument, picked up an ax and came back: "You guys stand back."
After the men backed away, she raised the ax and struck it down.
Instantly, dust flew up and splashed.
The wall was too old and the soil had become loose. It could not withstand her axe, and the hole became larger.
Xia Zhaoyi shook off the ashes from his head, half-knelt on the ground holding the sharp ax, took out a fire stick from his arms, and threw it in.
The sparks of Huo Zhezi became brighter and brighter as they flew rapidly, illuminating the four walls.
Xia Zhaoyi's eyes widened slightly, as if ignited by this spark.
Shen Lie knelt beside her, his eyebrows slowly furrowed.
Zhao Yu and Ji Sheng, who were leaning down next to them, were dumbfounded on the spot.
The walls of this secret passage were lined with neatly piled white bones, and there was no end as far as the eye could see. Where the fire broke down, the light of the fire faded, but it just illuminated a few heads.
It is exactly the same as the head found in the box outside. It has not rotted after special treatment. It is brown in color and has clear facial features.
But these heads turned out to be people known to all four of them, Lu Ronghui, the Minister of Punishment at that time, as well as his wife Liu and several family members.
Zhao Xun murmured: "When Lu Ronghui died tragically, I don't think the world would have expected that the head of the Minister of Punishment would be placed here."
Whether it is the minister of the Ministry of punishment or the common people, there is nothing special among the piles of corpses.
Xia Zhaoyi said calmly: "When he was alive, he dug out the brains of refugees to save his son with cerebral palsy. The so-called prescription was also written in Feng Qingang's book."
Shen Lie looked sideways at her: "Ah Li, if we calculate based on time, there will be people here within five years."
Xia Zhaoyi frowned: "The letter Mr. Liuhe gave me said that Feng Qingang was from Jinghe, but this is Hengxiang. Also, Feng Qingang was over fifty years old thirty-five years ago. According to the time It is estimated that he is now in his eighties. However, it is also possible that he is his apprentice named Xiaodao."
At the end of the dark passage, it is so dark that the dim light of the fire is far from enough to touch it.
Xia Zhaoyi thought for a moment and looked at Shen Lie.
"You want to go there?" Shen Lie said.
"Well, but..."
"I'll go." Shen Lie said, getting up.
"Shen Lie," Xia Zhaoyi raised her hand and put it on his arm: "I know you will go for me, so I said no."
"Okay, but what?" Shen Lie looked at her with gentle and serious eyes.
Xia Zhaoyi suddenly laughed: "But..." She didn't say any more, stood up and said, "Let's go back."
"Go back?" Shen Lie raised his eyes to look at her.
"Well, I promised Zhao Xi that I would send him back."
Shen Lie narrowed his eyes, looked at her for a while, then turned to look back at the corridor.
Knowing what she has been looking for, she will never give up easily. She will definitely come back in the future, so Shen Lie wants to take this journey for her now.
But whether it was him or her, they both knew that each other was not at ease with Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xun was both righteous and evil. He served the country and the people when he was righteous, and his righteousness came first. He sacrificed his life generously for Zheng Bei's army back then, which was so tragic and tragic.
But when he is evil, he can do anything, and he will not hesitate to bring chaos to the world in order to achieve his goal.
Whether it is Fushang County in Songzhou, Wuqu City in Huazhou, or the soldiers of the Zhao family far away in Zhengbei, they have been disappearing in recent years, causing trouble everywhere, and immediately leaving after causing trouble.
For such an uncertain person, no one can leave him in their own way.
Therefore, if one person is left by Zhao Xun's side, the other person will have to go into the darkness alone.
Shen Lie suddenly understood that the "but" she said was not a "but". It was a tacit understanding that neither of them would let the other be left alone.
A ray of joy spreads in Shen Lie's heart, and he feels happy every time he feels the understanding that can only be understood between the two of them.
But at this moment, several screams came from deep in the corridor,
It wasn't Chu Zheng's voice, but the voice of Chen Yunqi who just ran into the dark room.
Zhao Xun was stunned: "Is this tunnel connected to that side?"
"Sounds like it." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Besides Chen Yunqi, there is also a man's voice.
Zhao Hui listened carefully and said: "Zhao Hui'en is still alive, it's Zhao Hui'en's voice!"
The arguments became louder and louder, and gradually I could hear clearly what was being said.
"Treasure?" Shen Lie said.
"After Zhao Hui'en escaped, she was looking at a drawing all the way. It looked like a treasure hunt," said Zhao Hui.
"Xia Zhaoyi, why are you teasing me! Why are you teasing me!"
Zhao Hui'en's voice roared to a breaking point, and the sound came from the corridor.
"I don't know you, how can I tease you!" Chen Yunqi cried in panic.
"Xia Zhaoyi! You are Xia Zhaoyi!! I will kill you!!"
The sound in the corridor became blurry and the echo was long, but the four people here heard it clearly.
Several men suspected that their ears had heard wrongly.
"Is he talking about...Xia Zhaoyi?" Zhao Xun asked uncertainly.
"You are teasing me, and I will bury you with you even if I die! Xia Zhaoyi!!" Zhao Huien scolded angrily.
Now, everyone heard clearly that it was indeed Xia Zhaoyi.
Zhao Xun's handsome eyebrows gradually turned cold. Suddenly, he turned around and went to the weapon rack and took out a wolf tooth chain.
"Prince!" Ji Sheng shouted and hurriedly followed.
Xia Zhaoyi frowned, stood up and chased after him: "Zhao Yu!"
