As Lu Shaoyu said, the rats were eager to drill holes and leave.
These were all extremely cruel death row criminals or their descendants. Seeing that Lu Shaoyu and others were not hit, they caught up with them and launched desperate attacks one by one.
"Kill these bastards of the imperial court. If you kill one more, you'll be rewarded." A murderer with a sinister face yelled.
Lu Shaoyu made a gesture: "Those who resist will be killed without mercy."
After hearing this, dozens of officials lifted up their sleeves, revealing the sleeve arrows inside.
As soon as the sleeve arrow was released, countless fine needles were shot out.
Those thin needles are covered with medicine, which can make people paralyzed.
Even if the criminals are not afraid of death, it does not mean that they want to die. Seeing such a battle, every one of them wishes they could grow wings and escape.
However, the tunnel they dug was too narrow, and one after another the criminals fell down after being hit by tiny needles, and the ground was filled with people.
"Chase..." Lu Shaoyu saw someone escaping through a hole in the ground, so he chased after him.
"Sir, be careful of fraud." He stopped Lu Shaoyu with a sword, "I will lead someone to chase him."
"If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't be your master." Lu Shaoyu got into the tunnel.
The tunnel was very narrow and could only accommodate one person. The light underneath the tunnel was dim and the ventilation was poor, and a feeling of suffocation came over me.
I don’t know how long I walked, but I heard a roaring sound coming from the front.
He blocked the front with his sword, saw a big barrel rolling over, and kicked it back.
The barrel rolled back again.
"Ah..." A scream came from the front.
It seems that someone who has done something dirty has been tricked.
"There is a strange smell in the barrel..." Yi Jian said, "Sir, it smells like oil."
Sure enough, a fire broke out in front of us. It must have been the person who just lit the oil drum.
Lu Shaoyu had to stop and said to the men behind him: "Stop chasing."
I originally wanted to go through this tunnel to see where it leads, but now it is blocked by the fire. If I don't go out, I will either be burned to death by fire or smoke.
They had no choice but to go back the way they came.
"Sir, do you just give up like this?"
"The fire was burning so fast. If they had been in the tunnel, the thick smoke produced by the fire would have suffocated them. If they dared to set the fire, they must be desperate and must use this method to stop us. Similarly, this also exposed a
One thing is that this tunnel must not be long, and they can get out immediately. Judging from the distance, they must not have left the city."
"Yes, sir, you are still smart. Why didn't your subordinates think of that?" said the officer next to him, "If they had been in the tunnel, the thick smoke would have made them faint. They dared to set fire, firstly, because they were afraid that we would catch up with them, and secondly, because
Because they are going out soon. My lord, my subordinates will immediately send people to search the whole city and we must find those rats."
"As I said last time, carefully search the areas I focused on to see if there are any traces of tunnels." Lu Shaoyu said, "Also, take the people outside for questioning."
Rong Sheng, sent by Lu Shaoyu, quickly came here with more officers to arrest people, and the criminals who had been hit with hidden weapons were taken away.
The city gates were closed and the entire city was searched.
An official posted a notice outside the door of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"What did you write?"
"It says that the child was taken away by the evil people in the underground city. They are now being searched throughout the city. If anyone dares to cover them, they will be punished with the same crime."
"Aren't they being detained in the underground city? How come they are allowed to escape and do evil? My eldest grandson...if he falls into their hands, what chance does he have to survive?"
…
The officers conducted a large-scale manhunt.
Criminals also have weaknesses. After using various torture instruments, there are always a few who are afraid of death and use them all.
Just recruit them, it's much easier to catch them.
However, some people still hid when they saw the situation was bad and did not go to their original destination.
More than 700 criminals were shot with hidden weapons, and more than 200 were injured. The remaining 300 were captured by people sent by Lu Shaoyu because of the betrayal of their companions, and more than 100 people fled.
These people are all bad guys who kill without blinking an eye. Now they are trapped in the city. It is not easy to find these people.
On the one hand, the people scolded them for being vicious and cruel, but on the other hand, they were afraid of meeting these people.
"Sir, I heard that some of those villains are good at disguise. I'm afraid it won't be easy to catch them."
"So, the only way is to lure the snake out of the hole." Lu Shaoyu said calmly.
"How to lead?"
"Tell the brothers that there is no need to search too closely, but no clues can be discovered." Lu Shaoyu said, "Give them a chance to escape."
"Isn't this too obvious? They are so cunning, will they be fooled?"
"That official from the Ministry of Justice is a good chess player."
"But, sir, if that person dares to join in with the evil people in the dungeon, I'm afraid he won't be honest."
"I sent someone to check the details of that person. He was indeed bribed, but he may not have known what he was doing next. He must have been greedy for benefits and embezzled from it, so he was used. Now that he has committed such a big thing, he has done something for himself.
The family must also cooperate with us to perform this drama well."
"Then my subordinate goes to find him. If he dares to disobey, I will let him know how powerful our procuratorate is."
Lu Shaoyu looked at the list of hundreds of missing children.
"With so many children, if they want to be transported out, they will inevitably cause a stir. In order not to arouse suspicion, they do not dare to take the official road, and they do not dare to enter the city when they encounter it. They only dare to take the suburban roads. If I am not wrong, they will
Take the water route from Sanlin City. Because there are so many children, they don’t dare to take other people’s merchant ships, but will prepare their own ships.”
"Sanlin City has opened a trade route. There are dozens of ships coming in and out every day, some of which are shipped to neighboring countries or even further away." The subordinate next to him said, "It's hard to check this!"
"Why is it not easy to check? My mother owns the shipping industry in Sanlin City. In order to resolve disputes, ships must be strictly inspected every day. This is not only for registration to avoid anything happening, but also to check whether there are any irregularities.
Things that should be sold outside. If those people took away a lot of children, there must be something different about the ship, and it would be easy to check."
"My subordinates will immediately send someone to Sanlin City to investigate."
"As long as those children are alive, we must bring them back." Lu Shaoyu said, "And those evil people must also be caught."
"yes."
Lu Shaoyu's plan was quickly implemented successfully.
The escapees from the underground city noticed that the official from the Ministry of Justice who they had bribed had been released. They tested the other party first and learned that the other party had been cleared of suspicion and was now safe. They then lured the other party with more money and asked him to find a way to survive.
people leave the city.
Under Lu Shaoyu's prompting, the official from the Ministry of Justice was eager to make meritorious deeds and fully cooperated with the other party's actions.
