Chapter 995
"it is good!"

Those men responded to Yue Lingzhi in unison.

A large number of people's lives were saved by Gu Zheng. They were willing to submit to the King of Nanyue, and they were also willing to listen to the order of the Queen of Nanyue.

If the king of Nanyue hadn't put out the fire just now, they must have been buried in the flames.

The fire will soon spread into the cave, and it will be out of control.

Because all the beams supporting the top of the cave are wooden beams.

Fortunately, these people followed Gu Zheng and the others and escaped.

If the cave is burned, not only will many people die, but all the food stored in the cave will also be destroyed.

*
There is the eyeliner of Patriarch Yang in the Chu family. He knows the secret passage in the wooden house, and in the study, he naturally goes straight to the study.

But still a step behind.

Third Uncle Chu led his confidants into the secret passage from behind the bookshelf in the study.

A man who stayed in the study had already restored the mechanism, and Patriarch Yang and the others just arrived.

But it was too late for the man to leave.

Patriarch Chu blocked him: "Did your third uncle escape from the secret passage? Did you restore the secret passage just now?"

The man denied it categorically: "I don't know what secret channel you are talking about! I am just a handyman."

Patriarch Yang stopped talking nonsense, and suddenly shot to catch him, but the man avoided him nimbly, as expected, his martial arts were not weak.

But Patriarch Yang and Patriarch Xue fought together, and after four or five moves, Patriarch Yang and Patriarch Xue forced the man into a corner:
"Say, where is the entrance to the secret passage?"

According to the eyeliner of Patriarch Yang, the hidden mechanism inside is very strange. Even if you find out where the mechanism is, if you don't open it in the correct way, you will never be able to open it.

In other words, if you use brute force, not only will you not be able to open it, but it will also automatically trigger the protection device, and there will be many obstacles in the secret passage.

So the best and quickest way is to be able to coerce this man to open the organ.

This man is not stupid either, if he obediently opens the secret channel mechanism, the people in Taohualin will most likely kill him with a knife in order to save trouble.

He had to find a way out for himself first.

"I can tell you where the entrance to the secret passage is, and I can also open it for you, but you must promise one thing, swear to let me live, and give me 1000 taels of silver!"

Patriarch Yang looked at him gently: "I can let you live, and I can also give you a bank note, but we don't have that many bank notes with us, so the second condition cannot be agreed to you."

Maybe Patriarch Yang seemed too kind, but that man went so far as to take aim at Patriarch Yang's jade pendant.

"I don't have a bank note, I can use my belongings instead..."

Patriarch Xue followed his gaze and sneered: "It really is true that you love money rather than life, don't you?"

"You even want Patriarch Yang's jade pendant?"

"Then I'll let you try it first, life is worse than death!"

As he spoke, he wanted to go forward to arrest him, but this man immediately put his own knife on his neck, looking very determined.

"Don't force me, don't agree to my conditions, I would rather die than help you!"

Patriarch Xue stopped his movements and cursed: "It is already the greatest tolerance for you to survive by chance, how dare you ask for money?"

The man argued: "Princess Nanyue said that there will be rewards for crimes and meritorious deeds..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Zheng entered the study and said coldly:
"Die crime and meritorious deeds refer to people with good intentions, not greedy bastards like you!"
