I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

"It's nothing. I'm afraid of the dark, so having more people with me will give me courage." Jiang Yuan said softly.

A trace of impatience flashed across the fat man's face: "I have something else to do. I'll just get you two tinderboxes."

Zhao Kai also noticed something was going on. He suddenly pulled out his long knife and put it on the fat man's neck, saying coldly, "I'll count to three. If you don't jump down, you'll die."

"No, no, no! I'll go down, can't I just go down?" The fat man said in a trembling voice, and under the threat of his life, he quickly jumped down.

Jiang Yuan and the other man followed closely behind. The fat man walked in front, holding a fire starter in his hand to illuminate the way.

After the three of them walked for a while, the fat man started to complain: "You are too cautious. I am not a murderer for money. There is no need to be like this."

"If not, let's talk about it later when we go upstairs." Jiang Yuan smiled.

As the three of them walked further and further away, the surroundings became so dark that they could hardly see their hands in front of them. Apart from the tinderbox in the fat man's hand, there was no other light.

The air was heavy and the three of them were sweating profusely without realizing it.

"How long will it take?" Zhao Kai took a deep breath.

"It's almost there, it's almost there." The fat man said, then suddenly pointed ahead and yelled, "What the hell!"

"Hmm?" Zhao Kaijiang Yuan immediately perked up and looked forward.

But at this moment, the fire starter in the fat man's hand went out, and the whole space fell into darkness.

Fell into a trap!

Jiang Yuan was startled and quickly took out two tinder sticks from his backpack. When the two men blew out the tinder sticks and looked forward, there was no trace of the fat man.

Jiang Yuan took two steps forward, and another passage suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Damn it! Chase him and chop him!" Zhao Kai raised a long knife with murderous intent.

Jiang Yuan reached out his hand to stop him: "No need, let's keep going."

Zhao Kai angrily retracted his sword and continued to move forward with Jiang Yuan. After a while, the cave entrance reached the end, and the large number of pale bones were particularly creepy in the dark night.

"Damn it! He is really a murderer for money. There are at least hundreds of people here. Damn him!" Zhao Kai cursed and looked at the darkness above his head.

Jiang Yuan looked up and saw a distance of about three meters. He stepped on the surrounding area and quickly climbed to the top. He held up the tinder to illuminate the area. There was a stone pressing on his head, so Jiang Yuan immediately reached out to try.

As expected, he couldn't push it. Jiang Yuan's current strength allowed him to lift a stone weighing three or four hundred kilograms. Even if he couldn't lift a stone weighing four or five hundred kilograms, he could still push it.

But the stone above his head gave Jiang Yuan an unshakable feeling.

Of course, part of it was also because his feet were unstable in mid-air.

"Sir, how is it?" Zhao Kai asked from below.

Jiang Yuan untied his legs and jumped down. "The situation is very bad. There's a huge rock up there, probably weighing over a thousand pounds."

"A thousand pounds? That's it." Zhao Kai shook his head dejectedly.

"Go back and go out through the exit. I will chop that fat guy into pieces!" Zhao Kai said as he was about to turn around.

"It's useless. If going back would be useful, these people wouldn't have died here." Jiang Yuan analyzed.

"Then we can only wait to die here?" Zhao Kai widened his eyes.

"Give me the knife." Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand.

Zhao Kai looked at the huge rock above his head and said helplessly: "Even if you break a knife, you can't cut it open."

"Stop talking so much and give it to me quickly."

Picking up the long knife, Jiang Yuan went up again and dug a small hole where the boulder met the soil. Then he put two truth grenades in it, twisted the fuses together, and waited quietly.

It was raining heavily outside at this moment, and thunder could be heard from time to time.

When Jiang Yuan heard a loud thunder, he immediately lit a fire stick, jumped down, pulled Zhao Kai and turned to run.

After the two ran about twenty or thirty meters, a loud noise suddenly came from behind them.

"boom!"

The shock wave pushed the two of them hard, and countless smoke and dust made it impossible for them to open their eyes.

After waiting for a while, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Jiang Yuan and the others returned.

Although the huge rock above his head was not blown up, a channel had been blown open in the soil on one side. Jiang Yuan used a long knife to dig along the hole for a while, and a stream of fresh air rushed in.

"It's connected. I'll be able to get out in a moment."

A moment later, the two men climbed out of the passage and looked around.

The entrance to the cave was actually inside the house, but it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and the air was filled with the smell of rotten wood.

"This should be in the outer city. Let's go out first."

The two looked out the window and rushed out into the street after making sure there was no one there.

The imperial capital is tight on the outside but loose on the inside. Apart from the difficulty in entering the city, there are not many guards in the inner city.

The two easily dodged the patrolling soldiers and rushed towards the Yang family.

The heavy rain hitting Jiang Yuan's face made him more awake. The lightning streaking across the sky would be the best cover for him tonight.

Not long after, the two appeared near the Yang family's house. They jumped directly onto the roof and continued to move forward carefully stepping on the beams in the middle of the house.

It was raining so hard that obviously few people would come out, which indirectly protected the two of them.

After sneaking into the inner courtyard of the Yang family, Jiang Yuan and his companions lay on the roof and waited for their opportunity.

Zhao Kai pointed to a room in front and said, "Sir, according to the house design, we are already in the area where the direct descendants of the Yang family live. I just don't know where that old bastard Yang Cheng lives."

"Don't be impatient, let's see if anyone comes out later." Jiang Yuan carefully checked the truth grenade behind him.

It’s raining so hard, I’ll be doomed if I get wet.

After checking it out, Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was very dry under the cover of oil paper.

"Sir! Someone is coming out!" Zhao Kai's voice suddenly came, and Jiang Yuan immediately turned around to look.

In the room directly opposite, a young man was opening the window and looking outside, enjoying the night view contentedly.

"Sir, it seems that his status should be not low." Zhao Kai lay on the eaves and lowered his voice.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly: "That's right, he's so leisurely, he must be rich or noble. Come on, give him some strength."

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan took out a truth grenade from behind and cut off most of the fuse, leaving only two or three centimeters, to ensure that he would not miss.

Zhao Kai followed suit, and just as he was about to light the fire, Jiang Yuan quickly reached out to stop him.

"Don't worry, you do whatever I do next."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan looked up at the sky and waited patiently for a while.

Finally, when a flash of lightning illuminated the sky, Jiang Yuan quickly lit the fuse and threw it into the room.

"Boom! Boom!"

The truth grenade and thunder fit in perfectly.

At this time, the house that was blown up by two truth grenades was emitting wisps of white smoke, and it was unknown whether the people inside were dead or alive.

Next to the young man, Yang Cheng was sitting at a table drinking tea with another young man. After the loud noise, Yang Cheng looked out the window in surprise.

"Thunder? What a loud thunder!"
