"Shh!" Didi held the wire and made a silencing gesture to me.
I realized it quickly, turned around and leaned on the cell door to look outside. The jailers were all very lazy. The weather was getting colder. They were all warming themselves by the fire in the small house and drinking wine.
"Everyone, come here quickly!" I waved all the officials to lie down on the railing.
Everyone obeyed and stretched their heads to look in our direction.
Didi held up the wire in his hand and said, "Who knows how to unlock it?"
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, looking at each other in confusion. There is a saying that goes like this: Since ancient times, people have only left the household department, but today there is not a single person from the household department in the cell.
This made everyone anxious. Xiahou Liancheng stomped his feet in remorse: "If I had known that things like this would happen today, I should have brought the head of the Department of Revenue with me!"
Didi bit her lip and looked at Song Ke: "You know so many things, why can't you even open a lock?"
Song Ke said: "The cabinet in charge of the lower official, unlocking...that is under the jurisdiction of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"
"Where's the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance?"
"I got sick two months ago! I didn't come to court!"
"..."
In other words, with this wire, we couldn't open the cell door and go out, and everyone sat back down in an instant.
"Give me!"
Huh? Everyone looked at the speaker in surprise. Pei Yuan said calmly: "I can try!"
"You?" I questioned a little, how could he open the lock?
Later I learned that Pei Yuan had used a piece of iron wire to open the door of the prison where he had been detained for decades.
Didi handed the wire over doubtfully, and Pei Yuan immediately started to take action.
I saw him slowly twisting the wire into a circle, flattening it, and carefully inserting it into the keyhole.
After fiddling with it for a while, a crisp click sound came from the lock. Everyone gasped, and they didn't expect that Pei Yuan, who was in charge of Dali Temple, actually had such a skill.
Maybe Pei Yuan would not die of hunger even if he was not the minister of Dali Temple. He could go to folk stalls to tell fortunes, or professionally open locks for others.
Pei Yuan came out first, and then let us out one by one.
Everyone took all the guys they could copy in their hands. Xia Chengjun was the first to kill the two jailers, and then threw me a knife: "Go on!"
I caught it immediately: "Let's rush out!"
"No need to rush out!" Pei Yuan said calmly from behind.
We looked back at him together. Pang Xiu seemed to know his identity. He walked over to him and cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what Mr. Pei has to say?"
"There is a secret tunnel here that can lead directly to the outside world. We can walk out along the tunnel!"
"You know this?" Didi widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Pei Yuan as if she were a ghost.
Everyone else showed varying degrees of surprise.
"Follow me!" Pei Yuan took the brunt and walked to the front.
We looked at each other and had to follow.
Facts have proved that everything Pei Yuan said is right. Generally, the emperor's family will encounter several incidents that force the palace to rebel. In order to ensure the safety of the royal family, they will dig a tunnel to the outside world and save it for escaping when they have to.
.
There must be no more than two people who know about this tunnel.
Pang Xiu counts as one, Xia Yan counts as one, and even Xia Huanzhi and Xia Chengjun don't know the existence of this secret passage.
"Will we be discovered if we go out so openly?" Song Ke asked in a low voice.
"No, it's foggy outside!" Pei Yuan said calmly.
"Pei Yuan, are you a human?" Xiahou Liancheng asked in fear.
"Shh!" Didi held the wire and made a silencing gesture to me.
