That day, Huangfu Jue went to convey the emperor's order to execute Wu Hensheng. Liu Yu immediately asked someone to take the red crane poison. Wu Hensheng was obviously a little surprised when they went there.
Huangfu Jue asked him if he did what happened to the river lamp. Wu Hensheng responded coldly and said that they seemed to be frightened by him. He was locked up in a secret prison. How could he do anything earth-shattering?
They didn't say much to him and just put the poison in front of him. He picked it up and ate it without hesitation.
Then he started meditating, his face turned pale, black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his head tilted and he fell to the ground and died.
At that time, Huangfu Jue felt a little unbelievable, as if he had an indescribable feeling, that Wu Hen was dead?
Who knew that when the guards went to drag his body, suddenly a cloud of white mist exploded in the prison, and there were several explosions. The guards fell to the ground dead and injured. When he and Liu Yu rushed over, Wu Hensheng miraculously disappeared.
Then when the poisonous mist cleared, Liu Yu asked the guards to search and uncovered a stone slab. There was a dark hole underneath.
They sent people down to search for it, and the exit was in a dry well in the cold palace. There were tattered prison uniforms inside, but Wu Hensheng was missing.
The emperor was furious, but he was not allowed to let any news out. He could only pretend that Wu Hen was still alive and locked up in prison.
And Su Mo guessed that Wu Hensheng must have colluded with someone, otherwise how could someone sneak into the cold palace and dig tunnels to save him?
Although she had never been to the tunnel, according to Huangfu Jue, there was a jumbled area of rocks inside, which had to be blown up with explosives to lead to the prison.
That is to say, the explosion of the river lanterns during the Ghost Festival may not be intended to kill anyone. It may be a signal, or it may be a cover-up. The huge explosion sound here will cover up the explosion sound deep in the dungeon.
The Wang family bought so many firecrackers, and Song Wu had many Jianghu people as hangers-on, so it was natural for her to connect with them.
After Wu Hensheng escaped, the palace and the imperial city were closely guarded. Even if he was poisoned, even if he survived, the poison had to be exorcised.
And outside the walls of the imperial palace and the imperial city, they were surrounded so tightly that not even a fly could fly away.
The emperor then ordered Su Renyu to lead a strict search. All the palaces in the imperial city must be searched. The whereabouts of Wu Hensheng must be found or even the slightest clues cannot be missed.
Su Mo took this opportunity to carefully study the houses of each family, and felt that the most likely one was the Song family.
