Shen Cheng's expression was sincere, as if he was completely on Wen Xian's side and thinking about everything for her.

Wen Xian raised her eyebrows, but didn't say anything else. Instead, she pointed at the sleepy robbers behind the crowd and said, "Does Mr. Shen know those people?"

She looked directly at Shen Cheng, trying to find some clues from him.

At this moment, she didn't believe anyone, she only believed what she saw.

However, Shen Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know them. It's just that these people were tied up in the woods just now. I looked a little suspicious, so I brought them over. Why, do you know Dr. Wen?"

He looked at Wen Xian with confusion, wanting to see the answer in Wen Xian's eyes.

Wen Xian shrugged and said nonchalantly: "We don't even know each other. They wanted to block my carriage and rob me, but I tied them to a tree. I thought I would go back and take them away, but I didn't expect Master Shen to bring them."

"In that case, it's time to hand the person over to Lord Shen." As she said that, she casually took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Shen Cheng, "This is the antidote. After taking it, they will wake up."

Regardless of whether they had anything to do with Shen Cheng or not, she didn't want to get into it right now. If necessary, she could sell face to Shen Cheng.

"Are they actually robbers?" Shen Cheng did not take the antidote, but took two steps back and cupped his hands and said, "In that case, these people will be handed over to Doctor Wen."

He waved his hand and quickly asked someone to bring a few robbers over and prepare to hand them over to Wen Xian's people.

"Master Shen, what are you doing?" Wen Xian refused, "I just wanted to take it back and hand it over to the government office for processing."

"Shen would like to thank Doctor Wen for his generosity." Shen Cheng said with a smile, "However, Doctor Wen knows medicine better than Shen. Before that, I would like to ask Doctor Wen to help take care of these people."

Wen Xian found Shen Cheng's avoidance of suspicion funny, but in the end it dispelled some of Wen Xian's doubts.

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." The smile in Wen Xian's eyes deepened, and she waved her hand for her people to take over the robbers, and then said, "By the way, Master Shen, does he know what is strange about this forest?

I didn't see the kidnapper or the sister in the house, but my people saw a figure in the woods, but they disappeared quickly. "

This inexplicable lack of people made Wen Xian have some speculation.

Thinking about it, if there is a problem in this forest, Shen Cheng, as the prefect, should know a lot of information.

But Zhu Qing on the side was the first to speak: "I heard that there is an underground palace here in the early years, but it is unknown whether it is true or not. There are also people who have made a special trip to explore it, but returned without success."

Underground palaces are often accompanied by treasures, and the temptation of treasures is great.

Therefore, people often dig and explore here, hoping to dig out treasures.

But later, Wu Zhi led the garrison to station outside the city, and this situation became much less common.

Zhu Qing was not very interested in this, so he just heard about it. He really didn't pay much attention to the specific situation.

However, I don’t know if there is an underground palace, but there are quite a few tunnels.

"Underground palace?" Wen Xian asked in surprise, "So, maybe they are in the underground palace?"

If there is an underground palace, it can be explained. Previously, they saw Xia Zhi and others appearing and disappearing from time to time in the dark night, presumably because of the underground palace.

"Master Zhu is right." Shen Cheng frowned, "If he is hiding in the underground palace, it will be really hard to find him."

He paused and continued: "But don't worry, Doctor Wen. This matter happened on my territory, and I will definitely give Doctor Wen a satisfactory answer."

Wen Xian said in surprise: "Master Shen, you mean you know where the entrance and exit of the underground palace are?"

"I don't know the entrance and exit of the underground palace, but Shen knows the entrance and exit of the tunnel." Shen Cheng said, "Doctor Wen, please come with me." His people were very familiar with this forest, so they led Wen Xian around and quickly found the three. an entrance and exit.

Of these three entrances and exits, one is in a hunting trap, one is in a thick tree, and the other is in a cave.

Such a hidden entrance and exit is really something that no one can imagine. No wonder An Ye led people to search for it over and over again, but couldn't find the problem.

Just when Wen Xian wanted the special forces to go in and take a look, Shen Cheng stopped her.

Shen Chengdao: "The situation inside is complicated. Doctor Wen does not need to take this risk. He only needs to guard one exit and light fire and smoke in the other two exits."

If there are really people inside, if they light a fire and set off smoke, they will have to force a few people out.

Wen Xian took a deep breath and said, "Master Shen, do you think this is catching a rabbit?"

What if Xia Zhi and the others were killed by burning a fire and letting out smoke. Of course Shen Cheng doesn't feel bad if he is not Shen Cheng's person.

Or maybe Xia Zhi and Wu Junlan are both inside. But the people inside are just stubborn and would rather die than obey. Wouldn't that be even worse?

Shen Cheng chuckled and said, "Doctor Wen is worrying too much. How will you know if it doesn't work if you don't try it. Don't worry, if something happens, just stop it immediately."

If he said he was going to set a fire, he would set it on fire. The people brought by Shen Cheng dispersed immediately. Some guarded the exit, and some began to collect firewood, preparing to light a fire and smoke.

Of the three cave entrances, Shen Cheng chose to send more people to guard the exits in the tree trunks and light fires in the caves and traps.

After all, trees are easy to burn, and it would be troublesome if the entire forest was implicated.

Shen Cheng repeatedly promised that he would only force the people inside out and would never smoke them to death. Wen Xian reluctantly agreed to give it a try, but she had to stop at any time.

Facts have proved that lighting a fire and letting out smoke is a very correct choice.

Not long after it started, there were footsteps coming from the tree hole.

The people at the door were standing ready, trying to get those inside to come out and capture them.

Wen Xian was also very nervous and couldn't move her eyes away from the hole.

However, the person who ran out was actually Xia Zhi's person. But Xia Zhi, Wu Junlan and the unknown kidnappers were not even a shadow.

"Where is your master?" Wen Xian motioned to the special forces to remove the swords from their necks, frowning and saying, "She is with you, why are you two the only ones coming out?"

One of these two people is the shopkeeper whom I met last time at the wine shop.

Logically speaking, the shopkeeper was extremely loyal to Xia Zhi and would not leave Xia Zhi alone.

"Ahem, cough, cough~" the shopkeeper coughed violently a few times and said with a puzzled look on his face, "My master has never been here. Did the girl see it wrong?"

Then, he coughed a few more times, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes and said, "I would like to ask the girl what you mean by this, and why you want to put me to death?"

By lighting fires and letting out smoke, aren't you trying to kill people in the cave?

Wen Xian narrowed her eyes slightly, tilted her head and said to Shen Cheng, "Please continue lighting the fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper, who was originally calm, suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean, girl? There are still people inside. I just went in to take a look out of curiosity. The crime will not be punishable by death."

"Curious?" Wen Xian snorted coldly, "Hand over your master, otherwise, not to mention you, even your Ruyi Winery will be destroyed."
