Chapter 360 Time to Find the Rabbit Hole
In the thick night, the entire Yan's mansion was brightly lit.

Under the corridor, all the lanterns were lit, Xingtao could clearly see the expression of the eldest princess.

"The servants brought out from the backyard are all detained in the side hall," the eldest princess smiled and said, "Let's go there. Show me which one is your mother."

Xingtao opened her eyes wide.

The eyes are crystal clear, but they are also shining.

She nodded vigorously.

I wanted to go over immediately, but when I lifted my footsteps, Xingtao peeked at Yunzao again.

She will be moved, thinking about it, Yunzao is the same.

However, when Yunzao was hesitating, she was the one who took the first step.

Yunzao might blame her...

Xingtao thought.

Such a good opportunity, but missed it, was snatched away by others.

Yun Zao put away the astonishment in her eyes, lowered her head, and said nothing.

"This is not a competition," the eldest princess suddenly said in a slightly frozen atmosphere, her voice was not heavy, but very serious, "It's not a competition of courage and loyalty, it's just a master and servant, and I'm going I need some help, so I asked the two of you for your thoughts.

Xingtao answered me first, but it doesn't mean that, Yunzao, you don't have any chance.

The opportunity, from beginning to end, will be in your own hands.

It just depends on whether you are willing to stand up or not. "

After Xingtao heard this, her hanging heart dropped.

She felt more and more that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her choosing to believe in the eldest princess.

But Yunzao raised his head, muttered his lips, wanted to say something, but was emotionally fluctuating, unable to make a sound for a long time.

The eldest princess patted her on the shoulder and said: "I'll let Xingtao take me to find the roster first, you calm down and don't worry, there are still many things to do at Yan's family."

With both hands hanging in front of her, she clenched her fists tightly, Yun Zao bit her lip, and nodded slowly and deeply.

The eldest princess laughed.

Xingtao breathed a sigh of relief, took the man outside the side hall, pointed to one of the women and said, "That's the maidservant's mother."

Gan Zhongshi was brought out.

When he heard that Xingtao wanted to take the roster from the eldest lady, Gan Zhongshi was very troubled.

"Do you know whose family's maid you are?" Gan Zhong cursed in a low voice, "How can you betray the master? These are all traitors!"

Xingtao shook her head again and again: "But I think..."

The eldest princess stopped Xingtao, and said to Gan Zhongshi: "She just wants to give her relatives a way to survive. You don't care about your own life, her life, or the lives of other people in the family, but there are always people in this house." Will cherish extremely.

As for the anti-thief?Since you are a respectable mother of the Yan family, don't you know that the Yan family mines privately and conceals it from the court? "

Gan Zhongshi did not speak.

The eldest princess was still about to say something, when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

She turned her head and saw that it was Qin Luan who came over.

Qin Luan surrounded the Yan family's mansion with his grandfather, and came to the side hall at this moment, just in time to hear the previous conversation.

"This mother is very loyal. Come to think of it, anyone who can work beside Mrs. Yan's family must be a confidant," Qin Luan said, "I have something to ask my mother. It's a mess tonight. There are so many people in the house. If you run away, does mother know who stays behind?"

Gan Zhongshi turned his head, not answering Qin Luan's words.

Qin Luan was not in a hurry, and continued to speak slowly: "Whether we are capturing thieves or rebelling, the Yan family is at the end of its rope.

If I were a mother, I would definitely agree first and order the heads together.

Otherwise, when the Yan family beheads, who will know who is dead?

Mother took the eldest princess's money and went out of the mansion. In the future, she will collect coffins for the Yan family, buy coffins, buy cemeteries, erect steles and inscriptions, and ask the Taoist priests to read it. It is better than no one collects the corpse. The mass graves are ten times better.

Mother wholeheartedly wanted to continue going downstairs to serve the Lord's house, and it wouldn't be too late to go on the road after all these post-mortem affairs were settled. "

Gan Zhongshi's eyes looked at Qin Luan without blinking.

Xingtao supported her mother, muttering in her heart.

She knew the other party's good intentions, but this kind of persuasive words made people feel uncomfortable.

Only the eldest princess had a smile in her eyes.

Ah Jin's daughter is really interesting.

Although Gan Zhongshi didn't make a sound, judging from her expression, she was quite shaken.

Because of these words, every sentence occupies a "loyalty".

To keep silent and to be killed together is of course loyalty, but is it not loyal to take care of the family's funeral?
No one else has the opportunity like her, only she can leave the Yan family with the eldest princess's money, and has the ability and money to do things.

Besides, she can still go to the capital and tell Duke Fu and the Empress Dowager what happened tonight.

If they all died here, wouldn't it be up to the living rebels to talk nonsense?
"There is no need for a roster," Gan Zhong gritted his teeth, "Everyone here, let me name and surname."

The eldest princess did not insist, and asked people to prepare paper and pens, and first counted the Yan family detained in several halls.

On the other side, Yunzao finally calmed down a bit.

Knowing that Mrs. Gan Zhong refused to look for the roster, Yunzao took the initiative and said: "The things must be in the Da Furen's yard, the slaves will look for them."

The eldest princess agreed, and ordered two more soldiers to follow Yunzao.

"It's not because I'm afraid that you ran away," the eldest princess said very directly, "I'm afraid that the backyard was not searched clean, and someone was left in it, so you will be imprisoned. It's slower for one person to turn over. Two more people should be faster. It also saves you the effort to move it here."

Yun Zao nodded: "The servant knows."

At three o'clock, all the rosters were checked.

Most of the members of the Yan family are here, but a few escaped.

Yan Cui, his two sons and three grandchildren disappeared.

Princess Pingyang walked to the front hall and brought the news to Marquis Yongning.

She didn't keep her voice down, everyone in the front hall heard it.

The sixth old man breathed a sigh of relief visibly to the naked eye.

Previously, he was the one who made a mistake in judgment.

If Yan Cui had been sent back to the backyard to report the news earlier, more people could have escaped.

Right now they were almost wiped out, but at least Yan Cui took a few people away.

The eldest princess saw his reaction, clicked her tongue, and said to Yan Wei: "Look, this is your Yan family."

Yan Wei didn't understand for a moment.

"Entering the backyard through the gate, the closest one is not the one where Yan Cui lives." said the eldest princess.

One needle, see blood.

Yan Wei understood instantly.

Yan Cui ran to the backyard, the first thing he passed was Yan Wei's yard, where his wife and children lived.

As long as Yan Cui shouted a few words, they would not all be caught.

Earlier, he thought, why didn't he see Yan Cui and the others, and thought they were detained in another room, he didn't expect, didn't expect...

Princess Pingyang no longer cares about Yan Wei.

All the information she deserved was almost obtained, and she didn't need to provoke the Yan family.

Looking at Marquis Yongning, she said, "It's time to find the rabbit hole."

Marquis Yongning nodded.

At the end of the night, when the sky was about to light up, the soldiers who searched the mansion found the first tunnel entrance.

　Thank you book friend 121030193845947, and I will work hard today to reward Xiaoyao.
