The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

"Officers and soldiers, why are there officers and soldiers?"

Eleven and the others were furious: "Aren't all the officers and soldiers in the city outside? Aren't the remaining ones going to put out the fire?"

"Sir, don't worry about where the soldiers came from. The most urgent thing is that we leave quickly!"

leave?

Where to go?

If the place outside is surrounded by soldiers, they will die if they go out!

The man whom Eleven and the others called Big Brother gritted his teeth and said, "Lead the people back to the secret passage!"

Eleven and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this.

In order to conceal their presence, they installed a mechanical door at the entrance of the secret passage. As long as the camouflage was done well, the officers and soldiers should not be able to detect it.

It's a pity about those treasures. If the officers and soldiers search here, they will definitely find these things. Their work will be in vain this time.

However, these people have been trained by them over the years. If they were to be killed here, they would be completely doomed.

Eleven made a quick decision: "Everyone, enter the secret passage!"

"Wow..."

As soon as he said this, everyone rushed to the secret passage. After everyone went in, Eleven camouflaged the entrance to the secret passage and then closed the secret room door.

"I hope these officers and soldiers are just passing by and not searching here!"

Now Eleven could only pray that these officers and soldiers were busy with other things and had not discovered them. After all, the fire in the east of the city was their masterpiece. The purpose was to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers and Gu Jingzhi and others there so that they could take action.

If these officers and soldiers entered the city to search for the arsonist, then they might be able to escape the disaster or even transport the treasure away during the search!

However, they are destined to be different.

As soon as they hid in the secret room, the officers and soldiers rushed into the yard. The first to enter the yard were Gu Jingzhi and Lin Feng.

Gu Jingzhi winked at Lin Feng, who immediately led a few trusted aides to the scene, "Investigate thoroughly. Don't let the arsonists get away. You, and the rest of you, search these rooms thoroughly..."

Lin Feng instructed several people to search other houses, while he led Gu Jingzhi to the big room where Eleven and others stored their treasures.

Gu Jingzhi walked in and saw that the room was filled with boxes filled with gold, silver and some treasures. He walked over gently, opened a box at random, and confirmed that it was correct.

He hooked his finger at Lin Feng: "A moment..."

After a few breaths, Lin Feng nodded and then asked, "What should we do with those people?"

"them……"

Gu Jingzhi thought for a moment and asked, "Has everyone entered the secret passage? Have you confirmed that no one has escaped?"

“Indeed, no one escaped from here!”

"it is good!"

Gu Jingzhi said: "Take your men and pour water into the secret passage to force them out!"

"..."

This... is such a cruel trick, but it is indeed effective... Lin Feng immediately ran out excitedly.

……

In the secret passage.

Eleven didn't hear any movement and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother, didn't the officers and soldiers search this yard?"

"It's not clear yet, but this yard has been uninhabited for a long time. I guess they just took a look and left, right?"

Although the secret passage is underground, if there are soldiers searching, they can still detect it if there is a lot of noise. However, they have not heard any movement, so they are a little suspicious.

"How about we go up and take a look?" someone suggested.

The others were speechless when they heard this: "Are you going to kill yourself? If the soldiers don't leave, are you going to kill everyone?"

"Uh……"

The man scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

The eldest brother in the lead said, "Let's wait in this secret passage. If there's still no movement by daybreak, we'll go out!"

Emmm...

Dawn?

Eleven took a look at the dark secret passage. Will we be able to find it even at dawn?

No matter what, as long as the officers and soldiers don’t find out!

The only thing that worries Eleven is... he doesn't know if the reason why there is no movement above is a trap set by the officers and soldiers. You know, the house where they temporarily store the treasures has no cover at all.

Besides...

Eleven suddenly shuddered and said, "Brother, this is not good!"

"What's wrong?"

"Two hundred of us have been active in this yard, and the traces left there are impossible to clean up. The reason the officers and soldiers haven't made any movement right now is probably because they already know something is fishy going on in this yard!"

"They must be looking for us now!"

"what?"

The eldest brother was shocked, and a fine sweat suddenly appeared on his face. His lips trembled slightly and he said, "So, we have actually been exposed a long time ago!"

As soon as he said this, there was a commotion, and those who followed them to do business were all unable to remain calm.

"How to do?"

"Now how to do?"

"The exit of this secret passage must be guarded by soldiers. We are doomed!"

"..."

The noise of panic and fear spread throughout the secret passage like a plague, and the people inside were heartbroken and at a loss!

"Brother, how about we fight our way out?"

"Kill? What are you going to use to kill?"

The eldest brother scolded, saying, "The exit of the secret passage is so small. If we go out now, the soldiers will kill us one by one!"

"What should I do?"

"Don't panic, I'll think of a solution first!"

The eldest brother forced himself to calm down.

Breathe!

Two breaths!

Three breaths...

A quarter of an hour later, the eldest brother suddenly raised his head and said, "If the soldiers are all surrounding this courtyard, does that mean that the entrance to the government office is unguarded?"

???

Eleven was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed happily, "Yes, yes!"

"When we first opened the secret room, we happened to encounter Gu Jingzhi on his way to the border. There was no one else in his house, so we didn't disturb anyone. If we had gone out through that door, we would not only be able to escape, but we could also capture Gu Jingzhi's family and threaten them!"

"Not only can we save our lives then, but we can also take away the valuables!"

"Yup!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you go now?"

The eldest brother urged.

They had no time to clean up the traces in the yard. The officers and soldiers must have discovered them and ambushed them in the yard, waiting for them to take the bait. But there is always a way out. Who could have thought that the original secret passage gate was actually in the backyard of the government office?

So, everyone perked up, with Eleven walking in front, saying, "We'll head towards the secret room. The other corner of the secret room is the gate to the government office's backyard!"

Speaking of which, we have to thank the Gu family!

Gu was not a minister who was plotting a rebellion. This secret room... rather than a secret room, it was more like a cellar. It was only because there were too many treasures that a mechanism was installed.

However, the passage to this secret room is a straight path that goes all the way to the end. They did not dare to enter the secret room from the backyard of the government office because it was simply impossible. Unexpectedly, it became their escape route.

A group of people rushed towards the secret room.

Soon, the secret room came into sight.

But at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Listen, what's that sound?"
