Chapter 1161: The Bone Secret Path
"Hey!" Ji Sheng wanted to chase subconsciously, but was stopped by Zhao Gong.

"But my son, here..."

Zhao Gong said: "She will go by herself."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Gong turned to look at Xia Zhaoyi: "Ali, isn't she a criminal? Why didn't you arrest her?"

Xia Zhaoyi's expression showed no emotion, she calmly watched Chen Yunqi's back disappear into the darkness: "If she doesn't want to leave, it will be difficult for us to take her back."

Thinking of Xia Zhaoxue's previous principle of not killing the old man in Liling, Zhao Gong deliberately said: "If she commits a murder case, why don't we set up a private court, and kill her to do justice for the sky."

"Her father is the culprit," Xia Zhaoyi said, and turned to look for Shen Lie. "Although she has committed crimes, she is not guilty of death. As for other murder cases, it will have to be decided by the third trial."

Zhao Gong followed: "Don't you have a whip? Tie her with a whip and take her away."

Xia Zhaoyi ignored him.

All the boxes in the dark room were opened by Shen Lie, and they were all corpses, except for the head and limbs.

Xia Zhaoyi went in: "Shen Lie?"

Shen Lie was standing in front of the innermost box, looking at the corner, turned around when he heard the words, and said, "Ali, there is a secret way."

Xia Zhaoyi frowned and walked over quickly.

A square secret passage about two and a half feet high opened in the corner of the stone wall, half-hidden by boxes.

There was a lot of blood at the entrance of the secret passage and the nearby ground, in different colors, some of which were bright red in color, and there was blood foam on it.

"There is blood from the wound, and some is spit out from the mouth." Shen Lie said.

Xia Zhaoyi looked around: "It is very likely that when we first came, she had already run away."

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhaoyi turned around and walked towards Feng Qingang's torture tool, picked up an ax and came back: "Stand back."

After the men backed away, she raised her sharp ax and chiseled it down.

In an instant, the dust was flying and splashing.

The wall surface was too old, and the soil was already loose. It couldn't stand her axe, and the hole became bigger.

Shaking off the ashes from his head, Xia Zhaoyi knelt on the ground holding a sharp axe, took out a fire pocket from his arms, and threw it in.

Huozhezi's sparks became brighter and brighter during the flight, illuminating the walls.

Xia Zhaoyi's eyes widened slightly, as if ignited by this spark.

Shen Lie squatted and knelt beside her, his sword eyebrows slowly wrinkled.

Zhao Gong and Ji Sheng, who leaned over beside them, were stupidly on the spot.

The four walls of this dark passage are neatly piled with white bones, and there is no end in sight at a glance. Where the torch fell, the light of the fire faded, but it just happened to illuminate a few heads.

It was exactly the same as the head found in the box outside. After special treatment, it did not rot. It was brown in color and had clear facial features.

But these heads were people that all four of them knew, Lu Ronghui, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, his wife Liu Shi and several family members.

Zhao Gong murmured: "When it was said that Lu Ronghui died tragically, I don't think the world would have expected that the head of the majestic Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is actually placed here."

Whether it is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice or the common people, there is nothing special among the numerous corpses.

Xia Zhaoyi said indifferently: "He dug out the brains of refugees to save his son with cerebral palsy. The so-called prescription was also written in Feng Qingang's book."

Shen Lie looked at her sideways: "Ali, if calculated according to time, then there will still be people here within five years."

Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Liu He said in the letter that Feng Qingang was a shocker, but this is Hengxiang. And, 35 years ago, Feng Qingang was over 50 years old. According to the time calculation, he It is now eighty years old. But it is also possible that it is his apprentice named Xiaodao."

At the end of the secret passage, it is deep and dark, and the shimmer of Huozhezi is far from enough to touch.

Xia Zhaoyi thought for a while, then looked at Shen Lie.

"You want to go there?" Shen Lie said.

"Well, but..."

"I'll go." Shen Lie said, and was about to get up.

"Shen Lie," Xia Zhaoyi put his hand on his arm, "I knew you would go for me, so I said no."

"Okay, but what?" Shen Lie looked at her with gentle and serious eyes.

Xia Zhaoyi suddenly smiled: "But..." She didn't say any more, stood up and said, "Let's go back."

"Go back?" Shen Lie looked up at her.

"Well, I promised Zhao Gong that I would send him back."

Shen Lie narrowed his eyes, looked at her for a while, then turned his head to look back at the corridor.

Knowing what she has been looking for, she will never give up easily, and she will definitely come back in the future, so Shen Lie wants to go this journey for her now.

But whether it's him or her, they both know that each other is not at ease with Zhao Gong.

Zhao Gong is a man who is both righteous and evil. He can serve the country and the people at the right time, and righteousness comes first. Back then, Zheng Bei's army sacrificed their lives generously. How tragic and tragic.

But when he was evil, he would do anything, even if the world was in chaos, he would not hesitate to achieve his goal.

Whether it's Fushang County, Songzhou, or Wuqu City, Huazhou, the soldiers of the Zhao family who are far away in Zhengbei have been haunted and haunted for the past few years, causing trouble everywhere, and immediately slapped their butts and left after the trouble was over.

For such an uncertain person, it is impossible for anyone to keep him in his own way.

Therefore, leaving one person by Zhao Gong's side, the other person has to go into the darkness alone.

Shen Lie suddenly understood that she said "but", what was the "but", it was a tacit understanding that they would not let each other stay alone.

A ray of joy spread in Shen Lie's heart, and every time he felt the fit that could only be understood between the two of them, he would feel happy.

But at this moment, several screams came from the depths of the corridor,
It wasn't Chuzheng's voice, but Chen Yunqi's who ran into the dark room just now.

Zhao Gong was taken aback for a moment: "Is this tunnel connected to that?"

"It sounds right." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Besides Chen Yunqi, there was also a man's voice.

Zhao Gong listened attentively, and said: "Zhao Huien is still alive, it is Zhao Huien's voice!"

The arguing became louder and louder, and gradually they could hear what they were saying.

"Treasure?" Shen Lie said.

"After Zhao Huien escaped, he was flipping through a blueprint all the way. It looked like a treasure hunt." Zhao Gong said.

"Xia Zhaoyi, why are you teasing me! Why are you teasing me!"

Zhao Huien's voice roared to the breaking point, and the sound came from the corridor.

"I don't know you, why would I tease you!" Chen Yunqi cried in panic.

"Xia Zhaoyi! You are Xia Zhaoyi!! I will kill you!!"

The tunnel blurred the sound, and the echo was lengthy, but the four people here could hear it clearly.

Several men suspected that their ears had misheard.

"He was talking about... Xia Zhaoyi?" Zhao Gong asked uncertainly.

"You teased me, and I will drag you to be buried with me even if I die! Xia Zhaoyi!!" Zhao Huien angrily scolded.

Now, everyone heard clearly that it was indeed Xia Zhaoyi.

Zhao Gong's handsome eyebrows and eyes gradually turned cold. Suddenly, he turned and went to the weapon rack, and took down a mace chain.

"Your Majesty!" Ji Sheng shouted, and hurriedly followed.

Xia Zhaoyi frowned, got up and chased after him: "Zhao Gong!"
