The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 52 Underground City
The night was getting darker, the bright moon was covered by dark clouds, and the pitch-black space, like a huge beast that existed forever, was watching the world coldly.

After two or three hours, the sound of underground swordsmen gradually died down, and the soldiers began to move the corpses from the bottom up. These corpses were transported to the Yellow River, and then sprinkled with fire oil, burned in a big fire, and then pushed into Hanoi .

In addition to those abducted girls and children, Tan Zhen and Xu Ning's team also captured dozens of people on the ground who were going to the Huanxi Tower for fun.

These people were crying and crying for mercy, almost all of them reported their family names, and they were nothing more than the son of the minister, the nephew of the minister, and the nephew of the envoy. Zhao Tang didn't even look at it, but just said "kill them all", and he saw Yuan Roll The head of the good man fell to the ground.

Three more men came to escort them, they were actually two leaders of Wuyou Cave, Wuyou King and Xiaoyao King, as for the King of Bliss, he died in the melee.

There is another one, the thief leader of Huanxi Cave, Xii Huan, who looks like a young man with a pale face, a weak figure, and the appearance of a scholar.

The man was so frightened that his pants were wet, and he was dragged so close that he couldn't even control his body, so he lay on the ground.

Zhao Tong wondered: "There is still a thief leader in Huanxi Cave, why is Huanxixi?"

Xu Ning stepped forward to salute and said, "My lord, I haven't seen that person, and I haven't found him in the body."

Zhao Tong said, "Have you been interrogated?"

Xu Ning said: "My subordinates asked carefully, but that Huanhuanxixi is a wicked woman, her appearance is roughly drawn, and the soldiers below are stepping up their search."

Zhao Tong thought for a while: "These three people should be handed over to the Kaifeng Mansion. Be sure to leave a letter there, and the others don't have to be kept alive."

Xu Ning was ordered to leave, but Zhao Tuo suddenly said, "Jingda, has your nephew been found?"

Xu Ning immediately bowed down when he heard the words: "It's all thanks to the kindness of the prince. I have found it. I just sent someone to send it home. The prince saved Xu Ning's life. With this kindness, Xu Ning will never repay it!"

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

After a while, white fish belly gradually appeared in the sky, and the underground soldiers gradually withdrew to clean up the mess. Tan Zhen and others also gathered here.

Taking a look at the sky, Zhao Tang said: "For the time being, the troops will be withdrawn. Except for the soldiers guarding the mouth of the open channel, all the others will be withdrawn outside the city after transporting the corpses of the bandits."

Tan Zhen said: "My lord, although I have searched carefully, there may still be remnants of evil."

Zhao Tong said with a smile: "How can such a big underground scene be completed overnight, and there is no rush, so don't disturb the people's livelihood during the day."

After all, lead people back to the house.

The palace arranged simple meals, and all those close to him ate in the palace. Zhao Tang went to the study room, wrote a memorial and ordered Su Shi to send it to the palace.

Emperor Daojun's eyes were red from suffering in Yanfu Palace. For this matter, he even ordered Cai Jing to cancel the court meeting this morning. Now that he saw the memorial, he couldn't help saying happily: "Second brother really lived up to my trust!"

Zhang Di stood at the side all night, already feeling that the cocklebur in the boots didn't work, his legs were unsteady, and he was drowsy, and he immediately regained his energy when he heard the words: "Officials, the second king's work is over? "

Emperor Daojun said: "Second brother Zhezi explained in detail, and played with me all the means used, but it is ingenious. If it could be done in the early years, it will not be so difficult to defeat the bandits since the founding of the country."

Zhang Di hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to the official family, the official family has suppressed the underground thieves in Tokyo for more than a hundred years, and accomplished something that no one has ever done before. It is really martial arts and great blessings."

Emperor Daojun said: "It's just that the second brother said that he was afraid that the remaining evils would be cleaned up overnight, and he thought of a way to smoke them with smoke. Why did you never think of this method when you flaunt it?”

Zhang Di said: "This must be the second king's filial piety to the official family, the adults in the court, how can they be so considerate."

Emperor Daojun nodded, and said: "In another night, Zhang Di, you will preside over the digging of the tunnel. I miss my teacher for a long time, and I wish I could appear in front of the beautiful woman immediately!"

Zhao Tun left the study and came to the courtyard of the back hall, he saw hundreds of wooden boxes piled up in the courtyard, several people from Suiyulou were guarding here, he opened it casually to check, but it was full of real gold and silver , couldn't help sighing slightly, secretly thought, with these money, I can finally do something reluctantly.

Going back to the front, after everyone had finished eating, Zhao Tang looked around and asked, "Where did Xiaoniang Liu go?"

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

Knowing her mystery, Zhao Tang said: "I didn't expect this little lady to be able to break through all the mechanisms and ambushes. Zhu Xiaoyi is useless. If there is no her, there will be a lot of losses. When evaluating merits and rewards, we should remember her. a sum."

Huang Gu stroked the hard beard under his chin, suspected that Zhao Tuo rarely said such a lot, he just said: "Yes, yes."

In the twinkling of an eye and night, the curfew was brought forward this night. Although Tokyo has rarely enforced such an order since the capital of the dynasty was established, there were rumors in the market during the day that it was actually to clear up the underground ghost fan tower. Clap your hands and cheer, those who have been harmed by the ghost fan tower even burned incense and prayed at home, and when dusk came, they stopped going out.

Immediately started, the smoke in the open channel smoked, when it was thick, ordered people to block the mouth of the horoscope, and after another three or two hours, opened the smoke, and after it cleared, the soldiers went down to check, and sure enough there was a ghost hiding under the gate of Fanlou last night. They are all choked to death now.

At this time, Ding Daxie came to Zhao Tun's side, Qiqi Ai said: "My lord, my hands are itchy."

Zhao Tong looked at him and said with a smile, "I haven't asked you what you found that day."

Ding Daxie said: "If the underground city is carried out secretly, it will be really difficult to get down, but now everything is under the master's control, and there are many people to help, it is not very difficult."

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

Ding Daxie was overjoyed when he heard the words, and rushed to make preparations. Zhao Tang 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 Xiaoniang going down to Ghost Fan Tower with this king for a while?"

The little lady said: "Wang Jia, the little girl is named Hui Niang."

Zhao Tun nodded, intentionally changed his last name, and said, "That's Hui Niang."

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

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

Liu Huiniang smiled and said, "Don't take many people with you, just pick a few from Suiyulou."

Zhao Tong nodded, he didn't want to lead the army at all, and there is not much to talk about at the moment, the soldiers are talking too much, if the brothers of the Ding family really dig out the dungeon, it is inevitable that they will use some means of silence, but it is not what they want.

After speaking, he clicked on Huang Gu, Ouyang Bei, Lu Ping, Han Jiao, Jiang Zhang, and Xu Daqing. The last four also had fists and kicks in their bodies.

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

Zhu Xiaoyi opened the way and went straight to the biggest cave, but this place was in the south, and the water in the trough on the road kept flowing, gurgling forward.

Ouyang Bei wondered: "Where did you see so much water in other places before, but where did it come from?"

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "Grandpa doesn't know, this is the main road of the canal, and there is a big pool in front of it, so there is really a lot of water."

Everyone went forward, and they came to the big pool. They saw the dark green and gloomy, but they couldn't see the bottom.

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

Looking at the pool, Zhao Tun felt something was wrong, so he took a step forward to take a closer look, but at this moment, the ripples in the pool were slightly rippling, and then a cold light suddenly appeared, stabbing at Zhao Tun's chest!
