Zhang Feng was dragged in by force.
In fact.
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were more afraid of coming in than anyone else. But since they were already here, how could they explain it to the Emperor if they didn't check it out?
Before, they thought that Zhang Feng seemed to be bluffing.
But this time, the secret passage was too strange. They didn't know what was waiting for them in it.
But this time, they had to come.
If they didn't come, what if there was someone inside, then …
The most important thing was that Zhang Feng had a lot of ideas. If something went wrong, they would have Zhang Feng to take the blame for them. They wouldn't provoke the Emperor's anger.
The secret passage was very long. The deeper they went, the louder the wind became.
And from time to time, water droplets dripped from the top like rain.
Under their feet, it was no longer dry ground, but a thin layer of silt. Some rats were squeaking in it, as if they were greeting them.
Or warning them that they had invaded their territory.
Zhang Feng felt more and more strange at this time.
From the secret passage until now, they had been at least one mile. According to the linear distance on the ground, now it seemed that … they were out of the city.
After all, this place was in the city, and it was only a block away from the outside of the city, plus the distance of a city gate.
They should have been out of the city at this distance.
Thinking so, Zhang Feng hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"
While speaking.
Zhangsun Wuji was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I found something. I suspect that there is nothing special about this passage."
Hearing this, Zhangsun Wuji rolled his eyes, "Do I need you to tell me that?"
"No, no, no." Zhang Feng repeatedly waved his hand, pointing to the water on the ground and said, "Is there Longshou Canal outside the city?"
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and said, "Yes."
Hearing this, Zhang Feng nodded and said, "That's right. We don't need to go. It's in vain. There is no doubt that it is Longshou Canal outside!"
"This …"
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were at a loss for words.
They looked at each other and then said, "You guys go and take a look. Is the Longshou Canal outside?"
As he spoke, a few imperial guards raised their torches and rushed into the darkness. But not long after, they returned.
"Replying to the three sirs, outside is indeed the Longshou Canal that Lord Zhang mentioned. Some torches were found outside, as well as some burnt and torn clothes."
This time, Zhang Feng finally understood everything.
There really was a passageway here.
Furthermore, these golden stones had all come in through this passage, so it made sense. There were some things that he didn't understand before.
However, it led to the outside of the Longshou Canal, which was the outside of the city gate. This person was really thoughtful!
Now, even if they wanted to investigate, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
There was no way to investigate.
Zhang Feng, Zhangsun Wuji, and Fang Xuanling slowly walked out of the secret passage along the passage. Looking at the endless plain outside, the three of them all looked serious.
"Fengzi, what do you think we should do now?"
Zhang Feng spread out his hands and said, "How would I know?"
"Then … you should have a countermeasure, right? What happened today seemed to be done by someone on purpose. First, someone deliberately provoked the conflict on your father-in-law's side. Then, he attracted the attention of everyone here. Then, he cleared everything that could be cleared. Although none of them had expected that you would be so mean and think of digging a hole under the altar. I think no one would have thought that there would be a hole in this place. "
"Take this hole as an example. There are at least 70 or 80 such holes and secret passages in Chang 'an City, if not 100. These things are exactly the same. They are all used to discharge the sewage in the city."
"Who would have thought that there would be such a thing in this place?"
"Moreover, this place is where all the commoners usually scoop feces and water. There are many people and eyes, and it is also a good place for them to cover their eyes and ears. If they want to investigate, then … the difficulty is simply not ordinary. Motherf * cker, who exactly is it that can think of such a seamless method?"
At this time.
The three of them squatted by the canal, looking at the people who were fighting to scoop feces not far away, their faces full of worry.
After thinking for a while.
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Zhang Feng and said, "Fengzi, what do you think we should do next?"
Zhang Feng shrugged and said, "What can we do? We should do what we should do. This time, I think we can use this hole as a gimmick and search Chang 'an City well. Although we can't find anything, at least it can be a warning. Also, tell Lao Li that if this thing didn't involve my family, I wouldn't care. But now that he dares to plot against my people, I will take this matter. I want to see who on earth this person is and how dare he plot against me, Zhang Feng! "
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at the people in front of him and said, "Then, what should we do here?"
Zhang Feng shrugged and said, "Since they sent money to the Emperor, we should at least take some back, right?"
"Let's go and deduct as much as we can. The rest will be left to Lord Zhangsun!"
"…"
