Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 518 Awareness
Seeing that the red-robed Taoist priest was dead, Jianchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though he killed the opponent very cleanly just now, he was actually under some pressure.

The main reason is that he doesn't fully understand his Five Thunder Techniques yet, and he doesn't know whether his Five Thunder Techniques can withstand the Blood Evil Technique.

Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary. The Five Thunder Technique passed down by Taoist Li was really powerful. Even if the opponent had the Blood Evil Technique left by the senior master, he could not withstand this Thunder Department Zhengfa.

"Taoist Master, what should we do next?" Qin Shun slipped over and asked at this time.

The reason why Qin Shun was so respectful was mainly because he was frightened by the fight just now.

Even though he has great power and he also has some skills, compared to someone like Jianchen, who is a master of cultivation, it is really nothing.

In fact, Qin Shun was belittling himself.

The main reason why Jianchen was able to kill the red-robed Taoist priest so happily was because the spell the red-robed Taoist said he cast was restrained by Jianchen's thunder and lightning.

If Jian Chen also uses this set of spells to deal with Qin Shun, it won't be that easy.

Because there are real gods in this world, and the thunder spells used by Jian Chen also rely on divine power.

Those gods lend Jianchen mana and supernatural powers, and they are naturally invincible when destroying evil spirits. If they want to kill an ordinary mortal, they may not be able to lend him much power.

Under such circumstances, even seeing the dust may not necessarily be able to escape Qin Shun's Sunflower Book.

This is why those who possess magic rarely rebel, and even if they rebel, it is difficult to succeed.

Jianchen was still a little wary of Qin Shun, so when he saw that he was respectful to him, he quickly returned the salute, and then said:

"I am only following the orders of the Duke of Guo to eliminate this evil way. Eunuch Qin makes the decision on all other matters."

After saying that, Jian Chen slapped Qin Shun in the eyes, turned around, left Prince Gongshun's Mansion, returned to the palace, and returned to Jia Rui.

Qin Shun saw Jian Chen leaving and nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he didn't want Jian Chen to interfere with his actions.

"Young men, find me all the people in the royal palace."

Following his order, the young eunuchs and soldiers from the infantry commander's yamen under his command began to search frantically in Prince Gongshun's palace.

An hour later, everyone in the Gongshun Palace was gathered in the square.

Then a little eunuch next to Qin Shun took the images and compared them one by one. At the beginning, the little eunuch still had a smile on his face, but as time went by, the little eunuch's face became livid.

After everyone had checked, the little eunuch came to Qin Shun's side seriously and said in a low voice: "Back to my father-in-law, there are missing the respectful princess and the respectful prince."

After hearing this, Qin Shun was stunned for a moment, and then became furious.

You must know that before he came to Prince Gongshun's Mansion, he had already sent troops to surround Prince Gongshun's Mansion.

There are still people who can escape in this situation. Isn't this a joke to yourself?
"Search carefully again and dig down three feet to find the person."

Qin Shun's words were implemented, and then the eunuchs and soldiers really began to dig three feet into the ground, not sparing all the houses, and destroying them in a mess.

However, this action really worked, and soon they found a tunnel leading to the outside world in the flower hall.

Qin Shun personally came to explore outside the tunnel. Then he immediately took a dozen eunuchs and went down the tunnel himself. He walked along the dark tunnel for about a quarter of an hour and finally came out from the other end. After looking around after coming out, it turned out to be an uninhabited small courtyard about one mile away from Prince Gongshun's palace.

Judging from the size of this small courtyard, it should have been the former residence of a minor official, but it was later abandoned.

Qin Shun frowned, and his heart began to beat. If he really wanted Princess Gongshun and her second son to run away, how could he explain it to his master?

"Pass my order to immediately seal off the inner city. No one can enter or leave without the Duke's hand."

According to Qin Shun's judgment, even if the other party escaped, they would not be able to escape very far in this inner city where there was no light and darkness and there would be infantry commanding the Yamen patrolling the streets at any time. At most, they would be hiding in a corner of the inner city.

As long as you block the inner city, the other party will not be able to escape.

As for conducting door-to-door searches, Qin Shun didn't have the guts yet.

You must know that the people living in this inner layer are all dignitaries, relatives and relatives of the emperor. Of course, all the relatives of the emperor and the emperor have been killed by Qin Shun, but the others are also important officials under Jia Rui.

If he offends one or two of them, Qin Shun thinks he can still hold on, but if he offends all the civil and military officials in the inner city, no matter how much Qin Shun likes Jia Rui, Jia Rui will have to give up on Qin Shun.

Because of this reason, Qin Shun had to temporarily block the inner city, then go to the palace in person to report to Jia Rui, and then let Jia Rui make up his mind.

When Qin Shun returned to the Yangxin Hall, Jia Ruizheng had just sent Jian Chen away.

Jia Rui was quite satisfied with Jianchen's actions this time.

With this worry out of the way, Jia Rui felt a lot more relaxed.

Just when Jia Rui was happily holding a teacup, eating snacks and watching the maids dancing below, Qin Shun slipped in from the side at this time.

Lao Li had been waiting by Jia Rui's side. When he saw Qin Shun sneaking in with an ugly face, he laughed in his heart.

This opponent seems to be defeated this time.

Although he was extremely happy in his heart, on the surface Lao Li still greeted Qin Shun seriously and asked him to wait a moment with his eyes.

But Qin Shun didn't care about Lao Li at all, but carefully came to Jia Rui's side and whispered:
"Master, this slave is back."

Jia Rui glanced at him and saw the earthy color on his face, knowing that something was wrong.

"Did something go wrong?"

"Back to the master, the respectful princess and his second son have escaped from the tunnel. The servants have sealed the inner city. I would like to ask the Duke to tell me what to do next."

After hearing this, Jia Rui waved his hand and asked the maids dancing below to retreat, and then said: "If you cut the grass without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze will bring new growth. We can't take it lightly."

Then Jia Rui stood up from the throne and walked outside the Yangxin Palace. He looked at the palace wall outside and seemed to be thinking about something, feeling a little hesitant in his heart.

I promised the old man to leave a lasting legacy for the Supreme Emperor's lineage. Doesn't doing this now go against the old man's wishes?
But Jia Rui soon came to his senses. Now was not the time to talk about benevolence, justice and morality. He had to pull out all the thorns for his descendants.

"You take my handwriting with you and search the inner city three feet deep to find these two people."
