Chapter 52 Underground City

The night is deeper, the bright moon is obscured by dark clouds, and the pitch-black sky looks like a huge evil beast that has existed since ancient times, watching the world coldly.

Two or three hours later, the sound of fighting underground gradually died down, and the soldiers began to carry the corpses from below. These corpses were transported to the Yellow River, and then sprinkled with fierce oil, burned with fire, and then pushed into the river.

.

In addition to the abducted women and children, Tan Zhen and Xu Ning's team also captured dozens of people on the ground who went to Huanxi Building to have fun.

These people were crying and calling for mercy. Almost all of them reported their family status. They were nothing more than the son of the minister, the nephew of the minister, and the nephew of the minister. Zhao Tong didn't even look at it. He just said "kill them all", and then he saw Yuan Guanguan.

The good man's head fell to the ground.

Three more men were escorted over, and they turned out to be the two leaders of Wuyou Cave, King Wuyou and King Xiaoyao. As for the King of Paradise, he had died in the melee.

There is another one, the leader of thieves in Huanxi Cave, Xixihuan. He looks like a young man with a pale face, a frail body, and the appearance of a scholar.

The man was so frightened that his pants were wet. He was dragged so close that he couldn't control his body and fell directly to the ground.

Zhao Tong wondered: "Where is the famous thief leader Huan Huanxixi in Huanxi Cave?"

Xu Ning stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, I didn't see that person, and I didn't find him when I checked the body."

Zhao Tong said: "Have you been interrogated?"

In the blink of an eye, it was night again, and this night a curfew was imposed in advance. Although Tokyo had rarely implemented such an order since the founding of the capital of this dynasty, there were rumors in the market during the day that it was actually to clear the underground ghost tower, and the people inevitably went crazy.

They clapped their hands and cheered. Those who had been harmed by the ghost Fan Lou even burned incense and prayed at home. As soon as dusk arrived, they no longer went out.

Xu Ning said: "My subordinates asked carefully, but Huanhuanxixi is a wicked woman. Her appearance has been roughly sketched. The soldiers below are intensifying their search."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "How can such a huge scene underground be accomplished in one go? Don't be in a hurry. Don't disturb the people's livelihood during the day."

Zhang Di said: "This must be the filial piety of the two kings. How can the adults in the court be so considerate?"

Ding Daxie was happy when he heard the words and hurriedly went to make arrangements. Zhao Tao looked around and saw Liu Huiniang looking at the stars in the sky not far away, so he walked over and said, "How about Liu Huiniang going down to Guifan Tower with me for a while?"

Zhang Di hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the Guan family. Congratulations to the Guan family. The Guan family has quelled the underground bandits in Tokyo for more than a hundred years. It has accomplished something that no one before has accomplished. It is truly a great blessing in terms of martial arts and martial arts."

Zhao Tong nodded, deliberately changed his last name, and called out: "That's Hui Niang."

Xu Ning immediately prostrated after hearing this: "It's all thanks to the kindness of the prince. I have found him. I just sent someone to send him home. The prince saved Xu Ning's life. And for this kindness, Xu Ning will never be able to repay it even if I die!"

Zhao Tong nodded. He didn't want to lead the soldiers in the first place. There were not many people alive below at the moment. The soldiers were full of talkers. If the Ding brothers really found out about the underground city, they would inevitably have to use some means to silence them, but it was not what they wanted.

Immediately they started, and the smoke started to rise in the open channel. When it became strong, they ordered people to block the eight-character water outlet. After another three or two hours, they opened the smoke. After the smoke cleared, the soldiers went down to check. Sure enough, there was a ghost hiding under the door of Fan Tower last night.

Now they are all choked to death.

Zhao Tong thought for a while and said, "Let's go and get ready."

Huang Gu said: "The young lady just went back to the house and nodded, then turned and left, saying that she would come back tonight to help the prince."

After taking a look at the sky, Zhao Tong said: "Withdraw the troops for the time being. Except for the soldiers guarding the entrance of the nullah, the rest of the troops have finished transporting the corpses of the bandits and retreated outside the city."

Liu Huiniang said: "I just heard that the prince's men want to explore the underground city?"

A simple meal was arranged in the palace, and everyone close to him ate in the palace. Zhao Tong went to the study, wrote a memorial and ordered Su Shi to send it to the palace.

Zhang Di stood aside all night. He already felt that the cocklebur in his boots was not working. His legs were unstable and he was drowsy. Hearing this, he immediately became energetic: "Guan family, the two kings are done?" "

Zhao Tong nodded, helped him up and said, "Why talk about life and death? Let's go do things."

Emperor Daojun nodded and said: "In one more night, Zhang Di, you will take charge of the excavation of the tunnel. I have missed my master for a long time, and I wish I could appear in front of the beautiful lady right away!"

Emperor Daojun's eyes were red after being in Yanfu Palace. For this matter, he even ordered Cai Jing to cancel this morning's court meeting. Now that he saw the memorial, he couldn't help but exclaimed with joy: "Second brother has really lived up to my trust!"

Zhao Tong looked at him and smiled: "I haven't asked you what you found that day."

The young lady said: "Wang Jia, this little girl is called Hui Niang."

Xu Ning took the order and was about to leave, but Zhao Tao suddenly said: "Jingda, have you found your nephew?"

Zhu Xiaoyi opened the way and headed straight for the largest crypt, which was on the south side. There was a constant sound of water in the trough on the road, gurgling forward.

Zhao Tong left the study and came to the back hall. He saw hundreds of wooden boxes stacked in the courtyard. Several people from Broken Jade Tower were guarding them. He opened one at random and checked, but he found that it was full of real gold and silver. , couldn't help but let out a sigh, and thought to himself, with this money, I can finally do something reluctantly.

Ding Daxie said: "It would be really difficult to get out of the underground city if we do it secretly. Now that everything is under the control of the young master, with many people to help, it will not be very difficult."

Before going back, after everyone had finished eating, Zhao Tong looked around and said, "Where has Miss Liu gone?"

Liu Huiniang smiled and said: "Don't bring many people with you, just pick a few from Broken Jade Tower."

Huang Gu touched the strong beard under his chin, doubting that Zhao Tong rarely said so many words, so he just said: "Yes, yes."

The Emperor Daojun said: "It's just that the second brother said that in case the remaining evil was not clear, it had to be cleaned up overnight, and he thought of a way to smoke it with smoke. I think this law has been enacted, but at the founding of the country, many ministers, all of them You claim to have learned a lot, but why have you never thought of this method?"

After talking, I named Huang Gu, Ouyang Bei, Lu Ping, Han Jiao, Jiang Zhang, and Xu Daqing. The last four also had their hands and feet. I can't say how good they were, but they weren't bad either.

After that, lead the people back home.

Zhao Tong said: "The little girl has very sharp ears."

Tan Zhen said: "Your Majesty, although I have searched carefully, I am afraid there are still some evil spirits left."

Zhao Tong thought for a while: "These three people are to be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion. They must leave the letter there, and there is no need to keep the others alive."

At this time, Ding Daxie came to Zhao Tong's side and said, "Sir, my hands are itchy."

At this time, he called Zhu Xiaoyi again, and after the Ding brothers were ready, they went down to the mouth of the nullah.

Emperor Daojun said: "Second brother explained it in detail and told me all the methods he used. It was clever. If he had been able to do this a few years ago, the thieves and bandits would not have been quelled since the founding of the country."

After another long while, white fish belly gradually appeared on the horizon. The soldiers in the underground gradually withdrew and began to clean up the mess. Tan Zhen and others also gathered over.

Zhao Tong knew that she was mysterious and said: "I didn't expect this young lady to be able to break through all the traps and suppress weapons and ambushes. She is so powerful. Zhu Xiaoyi is useless. Without her, there will be a lot of losses. When judging merits and giving rewards, we should remember her."

One stroke."

Ouyang Bei wondered: "Where have I seen this much water elsewhere before, and where does it come from?"

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "Grandpa, I don't know that this is the main channel of the underground canal. There is a big pool in front of it, which is really full of water."

Everyone moved forward, and sure enough they came to the big pool. They saw only green and gloomy water, and they couldn't see the bottom.

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "Your Majesty, this pool has a name in Guifan Tower, it's called Bibo Pool."

Zhao Tong looked at the pool and felt something was wrong, so he took a step forward to take a closer look. But at this moment, ripples rippled slightly in the pool, and then a cold light suddenly rose and stabbed directly towards Zhao Tong's chest!
