The three of them sat around a stone table, and the atmosphere was quite dull.
If there really is no secret passage, then the disappearance of everyone in the mansion overnight can really only be explained by the theory of ghosts and gods.
If it is really the work of ghosts and gods, then everyone who knows about it will probably face varying degrees of treatment.
Because it is impossible for the rulers to allow such things to spread.
If the world heard that ghosts and gods used their power to kill members of the royal family, it would greatly affect the majesty of the imperial power.
If it doesn't work well, it will directly cause chaos in the world.
After all, the ancients were still quite superstitious, especially when it came to the theory of ghosts and gods.
When Liu Bang killed the white snake, it was just a superstitious story about ghosts and gods. However, it built momentum for Liu Bang and led him to create the Han Dynasty that lasted four hundred years!
There are simply countless examples like this.
All in all, if this case is really classified as a theory of ghosts and gods, then the entire city of Nanping may become a political victim.
Even people related to this matter, such as Muchuan, had to be dealt with to some extent.
If he's lucky, Muchuan might be dismissed from office; if he's not lucky, he might be given poisoned wine.
Li Shimin must still know what is more important than talent and the world.
"Master, why don't we just listen to Niu Bi and take some scapegoats back?"
Xiaoying couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but said.
Before Muchuan could answer, Di Renjie shook his head.
Di Renjie's face was full of bitterness, and he said: "It's not that simple. Your Majesty has a keen eye, and you can see that those people were beaten into submission. If we really did that, I'm afraid the end would be even more tragic."
Di Renjie is right, there must be an explanation for this case no matter what, otherwise the rumors and rumors arising from it will never subside and will even get worse.
"What should we do?"
Xiaoying really didn't want Muchuan to be deeply annoyed by this kind of thing, so he was running around in circles anxiously.
"If that doesn't work, let's go to Baekje. We have a base in Jiaocheng, so we can develop slowly there!"
Xiaoying thought of her hometown and quickly suggested.
A long time ago, Muchuan established a stronghold in Baekje Reef City, which was guarded by Pei Xingjian and the Fifty-six Strong Men.
Of course, there are definitely more than fifty-six people now. After all, Muchuan had asked Pei Xingjian to select some good seedlings for cultivation before leaving.
Mu Yingchen's suggestion made Muchuan couldn't help but sigh.
Could it be that he really had to escape from the Tang Dynasty in despair?
Shaking his head, Muchuan sighed inwardly.
The more you know about the Tang Dynasty, the more you know how deep the water inside is.
It's like a well. Unless you go down to the deepest point, you don't know where it leads.
"yes!"
Suddenly, Muchuan clapped his hands and his eyes lit up.
"We missed an important location!"
Muchuan looked at the two of them, his eyes gleaming, making the two of them quite confused.
"Master, what do you mean?"
Muchuan was so excited that he had no time to explain to the two of them and just asked them to follow him.
Afterwards, Muchuan led the two of them into the mansion and came to the only well in the mansion.
Seeing Muchuan bring him to the well, Di Renjie instantly understood Muchuan's thoughts.
"Master, are you saying that this secret passage may be in the well?"
Di Renjie couldn't laugh or cry, and even felt that Muchuan was a little crazy.
"Master, I understand your feelings, but we can't seek medical treatment in a hurry. Apart from water, is there a way under this well?
Even if there is, it's only for the fish, and people can't leave."
Di Renjie said bitterly.
However, before he could finish his words, he was startled by Muchuan and Mu Yingchen's actions.
I saw Muchuan put Xiaoying into the bucket and was about to put it into the well.
It’s over, it’s over! Even Xiaoying went crazy too!
Di Renjie was so panicked that he quickly moved over to stop him.
But before he could get closer, dozens of rats surrounded him, staring at him with red eyes that made Di Renjie's heart tremble.
"Okay, okay, it's okay if I don't go there."
Di Renjie smiled dryly and said, he finally saw that these mice didn't want him to stop Muchuan and Mu Yingchen.
As a result, Di Renjie watched helplessly as Mu Yingchen went down the well, while Muchuan kept lowering the rope, sending Xiaoying deeper.
Alas, fortunately, Miss Ying is very good at water, so she will not drown alive.
Di Renjie shook his head and didn't plan to look at it again. He felt it was a bit ridiculous.
He sat down on the ground and stared at the rats.
"If there is a secret passage in this well, I will eat all these rats!"
Di Renjie muttered a few words in a low voice.
At this time, Mu Yingchen's extremely excited cry suddenly rang out from the well.
"Master, I saw it!"
"What did you see?"
"Saw a door!"
What?
Is there really a secret passage in the well?
Di Renjie suddenly stood up, completely confused.
"Master, let me go in and take a look first!"
"Don't rush in yet, I'm coming down now too!"
After Muchuan finished explaining, he pulled Di Renjie over who was in a daze.
"The mouse is not in a hurry to eat. Let's go to the foot of the mountain to inform Niu Bi and ask him to bring his troops."
Muchuan's opening made Di Renjie extremely embarrassed.
It turned out that Muchuan actually heard what he whispered just now.
After Di Renjie received the order, he did not dare to delay and ran down the mountain quickly.
He knew very well that if the well was really a secret passage, then it was very likely that there were a large number of assassins hiding in it. It would be very dangerous for Muchuan and Xiaoying to go there alone.
Therefore, the most important thing is to call for support quickly!
After sending Di Renjie away, Muchuan grabbed the rope and jumped in.
The further down you go, the dimmer the light becomes.
However, the closer he got to the bottom, Muchuan could feel slight fluctuations in the air flow.
If it were a tight well, there would be absolutely no airflow fluctuations unless someone blew bubbles in the water.
This can only mean one thing, that is, there is indeed a hidden world underneath.
After descending about ten meters vertically, Muchuan found that his vision suddenly became clearer.
The space near the water is much larger, and there is even a piece of flat land next to it.
Mu Yingchen was standing on the ground waiting, and there was a heavy door behind her.
No wonder the army and Muchuan never discovered what was special about this well. It was probably because of the visual error caused by this special structure that people could not tell anything from above unless they went to the well to take a look in person.
But under normal circumstances, who would run into a well to play?
Therefore, if Muchuan hadn't had a sudden idea, he would never have imagined that the secret passage was actually in this well!
