Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 254 Escape
When the Lu residence was surrounded by officers and soldiers, Shen Qingli opened the secret passage in her room.

The secret of this secret passage was naturally told by Lu Huaiqi. He has experienced so many intrigues and survived from the conspiracy. Of course, he is on guard against others, and he may not be completely at ease in his own house.

Therefore, he asked his confidantes to build this secret passage early in order to prevent someone from plotting.

Unexpectedly, this secret channel actually worked at this time.

With Ran Mo's support, Shen Qingli entered the secret passage, she felt a sense of loss in her heart, he never thought that this secret passage would be used by her in the end.

Ran Mo heard He Minxin yelling and urging outside, she frowned, and looked at Shen Qingli's peaceful profile, feeling a little worried.

That villain He Minxin, all he said was slandering Nine Thousand Years' reputation, Madam must be feeling uncomfortable right now.

Shen Qingli's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she caught a glimpse of Ran Mo's worried expression. She knew that the girl was worried about herself again, so she patted her hand and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, other things are not important now, the most important thing is The only thing to do is to escape, and to be alive is serious." She touched her lower abdomen as she said, where there was a little life between her and Lu Huai, and she believed that he was still alive, so she must protect herself and Lu Huai now. The child in her stomach, she hoped that when he came back, she could come to greet him with the child.

Ran Mo nodded. She felt that Madam has changed a lot recently. There have been so many major incidents in recent days, but Madam has remained calm. Although such a Madam feels strange to her, she likes such a transformation of Madam very much.

Shen Qingli looked at the tension guarding the door of the secret passage, "After telling the subordinates to exit, you should come down quickly, and it is not appropriate to stay outside for a long time."

Although the Lu family is in trouble at this time, they will not easily abandon morality and disregard the lives of the servants in the family.

The servants in the mansion are still fleeing in all directions, and the housekeeper is calling people together outside. There is another secret passage in this mansion, and he wants to bring those people there to let them escape for their lives.

Zhang Li nodded, seeing that Shen Qingli had already walked into the secret passage, he turned and went out to look for the butler.

The scene in the mansion was a bit chaotic, with knocked-over bonsai and broken vases everywhere, and some greedy servants took advantage of the chaos to steal gold and silver jewelry and wanted to flee privately with them, but they were hit by others who were fleeing in a hurry. The gold and silver fell all over the floor with the mouth wide open.

Zhang Li looked at and shook his head. At this time, you can see the loyalty of the servants. The servants who usually look at the honest and hardworking servants can't help but steal something to escape.

He grabbed a flustered young man casually, and asked him where the butler was now. He saw the young man tightly protecting his chest while talking, where the shape of a string of pearl pendants could be vaguely seen.

He frowned, another one with dirty hands and feet, but he was too lazy to take care of it.

Pushing the boy aside, he hurried to the backyard, and saw the butler standing in front of an ancient well, anxiously directing the servants to jump into the ancient well to escape.

The water in this ancient well is stagnant water. There is a round door under the water that can be opened. Behind the door is a passage, which leads to a river in the west of the city.

Therefore, this passage must be used by people who are familiar with water. After some people heard about it, because they were not water-like, they watched others jump into the ancient well with sad faces.

And some people just turned around and left. The one who stole the money and ran away just now was one of those people.

Zhang Li actually knew that those people had no way of leaving the mansion alive, and those people waiting outside would arrest them and execute them.

The life of a servant is worthless, even if it is sent to the Ministry of Punishment, it will not be of any use. It is better to execute him on the spot now, which saves a lot of trouble.

Zhang Li is clear about these, but those people betrayed the Lu family, in his eyes death is not a pity, he does not pity them.

The butler turned around and saw Zhang Li, and asked him in a low voice, "How is Madam?"

Zhang Li nodded to him, indicating that it was done and there was no need to worry. He looked at the crowded servants by the ancient well and reckoned that it would take a lot of work.

Hearing that the officers and soldiers outside had already started banging on the door, he had a worried look on his face.

And those servants also heard the thrilling knock on the door, and their faces were full of anxiety.

They have been working in the Lu Mansion for many years, and they never thought that one day, the Lu Mansion, which is like a towering ancient tree, will usher in the end of destruction. Such a change made them feel like the blue sky above their heads collapsed. .

Some timid ones just slumped on the ground and cried, "It's over, I can't escape like this today..."

As soon as such words were uttered, the expressions of the people around them immediately turned into a disastrous defeat. They were already very worried, but now they heard their last hope cut off, and their minds were in chaos.

Zhang Li raised his eyebrows, how could he allow such disturbing remarks to affect others at such an urgent moment, he directly drew his sword across the man's neck, and scolded, "Stop talking, if you are so worried that you won't survive, Then I will kill you in advance now, and save you from crying and disturbing others!"

The man immediately shut his mouth tightly, not daring to say another word, for fear that Zhang Li's sword would really hurt him.

The situation here is urgent, but Shen Qingli's side is not much better.

The officers and soldiers who were banging on the door of the mansion had already smashed the door open, and rushed in to search for people.

As soon as they came in, they grabbed the fleeing servants everywhere and threatened them to tell the whereabouts of Shen Qingli and others.

If he didn't say anything, he was immediately beheaded on the spot without mercy.

Immediately, there were many corpses of servants lying in the front yard of the entire Lu Mansion, with blood splattered everywhere, and the scarlet color was particularly eye-catching.

In Lu Huaiqi's original yard, the pink and white camellias were stained with a lot of blood, which was very shocking to see.

Passing officers and soldiers kicked the camellia to the ground, stepped on the white petals, and the petals shattered to the ground. The officers and soldiers stepped on it and turned it into a dusty color, unable to see its original appearance.

Outside Shen Qingli's courtyard, a sneaky servant sneaked past, facing the oncoming officers and soldiers, looking at the group of vicious officers and soldiers with weapons in their hands, the servant was terrified, but still endured it. There was no screaming.

But as soon as the officer and soldier raised the blood-stained long sword in his hand, the servant immediately knelt down spinelessly, and said with a trembling voice, "Excuse me, my lord, spare my life, my lord!"

Seeing this servant's appearance, the officers and soldiers laughed disdainfully and said, "I thought Lu Huai would be so proud of the people in his house, but I didn't expect it to be the kind of dog that I would kneel down and beg for mercy when I saw the official grandpa." appearance!"

The officers and soldiers next to him all laughed and looked very proud.

The servants didn't respond to their ridicule. He was so frightened that his mind was already in a mess, so he couldn't care about that.

The officers and soldiers didn't want to waste any more time on such a servant, so they immediately pointed their swords at him, "Where is the Lu thief's woman, tell me quickly! Don't let the official grandpa waste my time!"

Look, this little officer and soldier dared to call Lu Huaiqi a "land thief". It can be seen that when Lu Huaiqi fell, these young miscellaneous soldiers who usually don't know their surnames dared to stand up and jump.

The servant looked at the bright red blood on the tip of the sword, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak fluently. He thought that he was outside Shen Qingli's yard just now and watched them enter the inner room, so he quickly replied, " Officer, I just saw my wife enter the inner room of the house, there must be some kind of secret passage in the house... Officer, I have already told you, can you see if you can let me go?"

The officer and soldier got the news, looked at the servant with a look of hope and smiled maliciously, "I despise you the most for betraying the master like this, sir, do you think I will keep you!"

After finishing speaking, he stabbed him to death with a sword in the unbelievable eyes of that servant.

Stepping on the servant's hand, he said to the people behind, "Go, follow up, don't let that woman get away!"

Before coming, He Minxin told them that the main target of this trip was Lu Huaiqi's woman.

It is said that this is the intention of the current emperor. They must complete the task, otherwise they will offend the irritable little emperor, and I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.

After entering the house, they searched around, but found no secret passage.

The leading officer and soldier spat fiercely on the ground, with a vicious expression on his face, "What the hell is secretly saying, that dog slave is talking nonsense!"

Several officers and soldiers behind him looked at each other, and one of them said hesitantly, "That servant should not lie. Judging by his appearance just now, he was obviously frightened and wanted to survive, so he revealed Shen Qingli's whereabouts. So he It's probably true."

One person followed up, "That's right, Shen Qingli is probably in this room, but for someone like Lu Huaiqi, there must be some secret mechanism in his bedroom, and it's hard for us to find out, it's true."

After hearing what they said, the leading officer and soldier had a look of impatience on his face, but he was helpless. He had to arrest Shen Qingli and return him to life, so he had no choice but to say, "Damn! It's really troublesome. Search! I still don't believe it anymore, the mechanism in this room can still be as powerful as Lu Ban back then!"

Inside the secret passage, the conversations of officers and soldiers outside reached the ears of Shen Qingli and Ran Mo verbatim.

Ran Mo looked at the back with some worry, "What should I do, will they really chase after me?"

Shen Qingli shook her head. Although the door of this secret passage is hidden, it is not difficult to find it if you put in more effort. Moreover, although there are many traps in this secret passage, there are many people on the other side. As long as they send someone to lead the way and go all the way Come here, it is not impossible to catch up with them.

She frowned slightly, and said softly, "Leave them alone, let's go as fast as possible, and try to get out of this secret passage before they come in."
