Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 374 Unwilling

"It's us, we've been hit by a trick." Su Yijue's rapid panting came from the darkness, and Su Yizhao heaved a sigh of relief.

However, the current situation is not optimistic, and everyone is nervous and worried.

"Fifth brother, how are you doing? Are you injured?"

I even lost the fire folder, presumably the situation was very critical at that time.

"We accidentally stepped on the mechanism, and many arrows shot out of the wall. My arm was injured, Zhang Ting and he..."

"He died, and I was saved by Su Yijue. He was injured on his arm because he was protecting me from arrows. Lu Yun was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, and he was still bleeding!" Qin Shu said very sadly. .

"What? Zhang Ting is dead?" Everyone was horrified, they didn't expect that mechanism could really kill people.

Lu Yun gasped and said: "There is a secret passage of the agency, but I think it should be possible to leave, but we don't know the distribution of the agency, so it is easy to step on it."

Su Yizhao immediately stepped forward, "Fifth Brother, I'll bandage you first."

"No, I just got scratched on my arm by the arrow, it's not a big deal."

"In fact, the mechanism is very simple, just to catch people by surprise. It was always safe before, but we were negligent in the end. But I felt the breeze at that time, and the exit should be not far away."

Su Yijue felt that it was possible to make a breakthrough. With such a crude mechanism, the subsequent mechanism would not be too difficult, or there might not even be one.

If it wasn't for protecting the other three, he wouldn't have been injured at all.

Later, he planned to take Su Yizhao to make another venture.If you only protect Su Yizhao, you are very sure.

As for the others, it's great to be able to help.If it's not feasible, then he can't be blamed for dying.

"You can break through. Lu Yun is seriously injured and needs to be healed as soon as possible. I have memorized the location of that mechanism, and after stepping on it once, it should not return to normal."

Su Yizhao grasped Su Yizhao's hand precisely in the dark, and then tied their wrists with a belt.

"Come with me, I can protect your safety." Su Yijue whispered in Su Yizhao's ear.

"What do you guys think? Those who are willing to go with me cannot be guaranteed to be safe, but they will help as much as possible. Those who do not want to, send reinforcements after we go out."

When Su Yijue said this, many people began to hesitate.

Zhang Ting died under the agency, which is very scary for them, how have they ever experienced this in their daily life?

"Then I'll wait! After they go out, they will definitely find someone to rescue us."

"Who knows how long I'm going to stay here? I'm going crazy. I don't want to stay for a quarter of an hour. I follow him out."

"Did you forget? There were three people who went out with him, and only two came back. I don't think I'm so lucky."

"It happened suddenly. Didn't he save Lu Yun? At such a critical moment, he still cared about others. I don't think he can be blamed for this, but it shows that he has a good character."

"We're leaving now, and we're willing to keep up." Su Yijue didn't want to say too much, the future was unknown, he could only do this.

Su Jinxun returned to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the front yard, he found that everyone in the mansion was waiting in the front yard.

Masters and servants, everyone looked at him eagerly.

In an instant, Su Jinxun finally burst into tears, tears streaming down his front.

"Master! Jue'er?" The old lady's eyes were swollen like walnuts, but she still asked hopefully.

"Father!" Su Wenzhou and his wife took a step forward with sorrowful expressions on their faces.

Su Wenzhou's official uniform has not been changed, so it can be seen that he has just rushed back from the Yamen.

Su Jinxun trembled and waved his hands, "Get ready for mourning."

After saying this, it seemed as if all his energy had been taken away from him, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse.

Su Huai immediately stepped forward to support him, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

"Only report to a few families that are close to you, and forget about the others. They are juniors after all."

Yue Rong and Yue Qiu suddenly whimpered, and then there were crying sounds one after another in the front yard.

"My son!" The third wife Ju Shi was devastated, "I only have such a son!"

"My son! My son! Mother can't wait to go for you." Mrs. Ju collapsed on the ground and burst into tears.

The third master couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot. He only has such an eldest son, and the others are daughters. Who will inherit the third house in the future?
This was like a bolt from the blue, and his eyes dimmed with anger.

"Father! Have all the surviving people been found? Will there be others? Have you found all those places?"

Tang still couldn't believe it. In her heart, Su Yizhao always acted with confidence, and she couldn't accept that Su Yizhao died in such an accident.

"It's already been ripped apart." Su Huai shook his head, and their house also sent people there, but nothing was found.

"Father! How can this matter be forgotten? Our Su family has lost two juniors who had high hopes! If it weren't for him, Wang Deng, who refused to open the Dragon Gate, how could those candidates die?"

Su Wenzhou's eyes were red, he had already ignored it at the moment, even if he risked his life for the death of his only legitimate son, he would make Wang Deng pay for it with blood.

"He is afraid of affecting his official career, so he just takes the lives of our children? There are so many candidates who are the pillars of the family. Aren't they innocent? How many people have suffered from it?"

Su Wenzhou let out a mournful roar, "Father, I'm not reconciled!"

"Not reconciled, of course I am not reconciled." Su Jinxun's face was ashen, "Wang Deng must not let it go."

"Even if it's not selfish, we must seek justice for those candidates and their families."

As the old man spoke, he regained his strength.

"Su Huai! How's the situation outside?"

"The examinee's family members are gathering outside the tribute courtyard, and they want the court to give an explanation. The emperor sent Lin Song, the censor of the right capital, to appease them, but at this moment, the crowd was furious, and the scene got out of control for a while, and it became a chaotic mess."

"Hmph! Consolation? Can those extraneous things be worth human life? The court wants to calm things down, and Wang Deng doesn't want to be held accountable. How can this be?"

Su Jinxun was furious, and hated Wang Deng to the extreme.

"The imperial court only dared to say that the fire happened accidentally, the wind helped the fire, and it was out of control. They didn't dare to mention Wang Deng's refusal to open the dragon's gate."

Su Huai was also angry, "The Ministry of Rituals announced that they had sent a post to the palace to ask for instructions, but unfortunately there was a traitor, and the emperor had no way of knowing the news. Therefore, two servants were released, and the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard who was dereliction of duty Pang Shu."

"This is true, but it is an indisputable fact that Wang Deng is greedy for life and afraid of death, for fear of affecting his official career."

Su Jinxun's eyes burst into a decisive light, and he looked at Su Huai.

"You sent people to spread the news, saying that it was the Minister of the Household Department, Wang Deng, who neglected human life for his own self-interest and refused to open the Dragon Gate, resulting in the death toll in the Gongyuan as high as nearly 300 people."
