The night is deeper, the bright moon is obscured by dark clouds, and the pitch-black sky looks like a huge evil beast that has existed since ancient times, watching the world coldly.

Two or three hours later, the sound of fighting underground gradually died down, and the soldiers began to carry the corpses from below. These corpses were transported to the Yellow River, and then sprinkled with fierce oil, burned with fire, and then pushed into the river.

.

In addition to the abducted women and children, Tan Zhen and Xu Ning's team also captured dozens of people on the ground who went to Huanxi Building to have fun.

These people were crying and calling for mercy. Almost all of them reported their family status. They were nothing more than the son of the minister, the nephew of the minister, and the nephew of the minister. Zhao Tong didn't even look at it. He just said "kill them all", and then he saw Yuan Guanguan.

The good man's head fell to the ground.

Three more men were escorted over, and they turned out to be the two leaders of Wuyou Cave, King Wuyou and King Xiaoyao. As for the King of Paradise, he had died in the melee.

There is another one, Xixihuan, the leader of thieves in Huanxi Cave. He looks like a young man with a pale face, a frail body, and the appearance of a scholar.

The man was so frightened that his pants were wet. He was dragged so close that he couldn't even control his body and fell directly to the ground.

Zhao Tong wondered: "Where is the famous thief leader Huan Huanxixi in Huanxi Cave?"

Xu Ning stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, I didn't see that person. I didn't find him when I checked the body."

Zhao Tong said: "Have you been interrogated?"

Xu Ning said: "My subordinates asked carefully, but Huanhuanxixi is a wicked woman. Her appearance has been roughly sketched. The soldiers below are intensifying their search."

Zhao Tong thought for a while: "These three people will be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion. The letter must be left there, and there is no need to keep the others alive."

Xu Ning took the order and was about to leave, but Zhao Tao suddenly said: "Jingda, have you found your nephew?"

Xu Ning immediately prostrated after hearing this: "It's all thanks to the kindness of the prince. I have found him. I just sent someone to send him home. The prince saved Xu Ning's life. And for this kindness, Xu Ning will never be able to repay it even if I die!"

Zhao Tong nodded, helped him up and said: "Why talk about life and death? Let's do things."

After a while, white fish belly gradually appeared on the horizon. The soldiers in the underground gradually withdrew and began to clean up the mess. Tan Zhen and others also gathered over.

After looking at the sky, Zhao Tong said: "Withdraw the troops for the time being. Except for the soldiers guarding the entrance of the nullah, the rest of the troops have finished transporting the corpses of the bandits and retreated outside the city."

Tan Zhendao: "Your Majesty, although we have searched carefully, I am afraid there are still some evil spirits left."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "How can such a huge scene underground be accomplished in one fell swoop? Don't be in a hurry and don't disturb the people's livelihood during the day."

After that, lead the people back home.

The palace arranged a simple meal, and everyone close to him ate in the palace. Zhao Tong went to the study and wrote a memorial and ordered Su Shi to send it to the palace.

Emperor Daojun's eyes were red after being in Yanfu Palace. For this matter, he even ordered Cai Jing to cancel this morning's court meeting. Now that he saw the memorial, he couldn't help but said with joy: "Second brother has really lived up to my trust!"

Zhang Di stood aside all night. He already felt that the cocklebur in his boots was not working. His legs were unstable and he was drowsy. Hearing this, he immediately became energetic: "Guan family, the two kings are done?"

”

The Emperor Daojun said: "Second brother's statement was detailed, and he told me all the methods he used. It was clever. If he had done this earlier, it would not have been so difficult to defeat the bandits since the founding of the country."

Zhang Di hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the Guan family, congratulations to the Guan family. The Guan family has defeated the underground bandits in Tokyo for more than a hundred years. It has accomplished something that has not been accomplished by the predecessors. It is really a great blessing for martial arts and martial arts."

The Emperor Daojun said: "It's just that the second brother said that in case the remaining evil was not clear, it had to be cleaned up overnight, and he thought of a way to smoke it with smoke. I think this law has been enacted, but at the founding of the country, many ministers, all

You claim to have learned a lot, but why have you never thought of this method?"

Zhang Di said: "This must be the filial piety of the two kings. How can the adults in the court be so considerate?"

Emperor Daojun nodded and said: "In one more night, Zhang Di, you will take charge of the excavation of the tunnel. I have missed my master for a long time, and I wish I could appear in front of the beautiful lady right away!"

Zhao Tong left the study and came to the back hall. He saw that there were hundreds of wooden boxes stacked in the courtyard. Several people from Broken Jade Tower were guarding them. He opened one at random and looked at it, but he found that it was full of real gold and silver.

, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and thought secretly, with this money, I can finally do something reluctantly.

Before going back, after everyone had finished eating, Zhao Tong looked around and said, "Where has Miss Liu gone?"

Huang Gu said: "The young lady just followed her home and nodded, then turned and left, saying she would come back tonight to help the prince."

Zhao Tong knew that she was mysterious and said: "I didn't expect this young lady to be able to break through all the traps and suppress weapons and ambushes. She is so powerful. Zhu Xiaoyi is useless. Without her, there will be a lot of losses. When judging merits and giving rewards, we should remember her."

One stroke."

Huang Gu touched the strong beard under his chin, and he was suspicious that Zhao Tao rarely said so many words, so he just said: "Yes, yes."

In the blink of an eye, it was night again, and this night a curfew was imposed in advance. Although Tokyo had rarely implemented such an order since the founding of the capital of this dynasty, there were rumors in the market during the day that it was actually to clear the underground ghost tower, and the people inevitably went crazy.

They clapped their hands and cheered, and those who had been harmed by the ghost Fan Lou even burned incense and prayed at home. As soon as dusk arrived, they no longer went out.

Immediately they started, and the smoke started to rise in the open channel. When it became strong, they ordered people to block the eight-character water outlet. After another three or two hours, they opened the smoke. After the smoke cleared, the soldiers went down to check. Sure enough, there was a ghost hiding under the door of Fan Tower last night.

Now they are all choked to death.

At this time, Ding Daxie came to Zhao Tong's side and said, "Sir, my hands are itchy."

Zhao Tong looked at him and smiled: "I haven't asked you what you found that day."

Ding Daxie said: "It would be really difficult to get out of the underground city if we do it secretly. Now everything is under the control of the young master, and with many people to help, it will not be difficult."

Zhao Tong thought for a while and said, "Let's go and get ready."

Ding Daxie was happy when he heard the words and hurriedly went to make arrangements. Zhao Tu looked around and saw Liu Huiniang looking at the stars in the sky not far away, so he walked over and said, "How about Liu Huiniang and I go down to Guifan Tower for a while?"

The young lady said: "Wang Jia, this little girl is called Hui Niang."

Zhao Tong nodded, deliberately changed his last name, and called out: "That's Hui Niang."

Liu Huiniang said: "I just heard that the prince's men want to explore the underground city?"

Zhao Tong said: "The little girl has very sharp ears."

Liu Huiniang smiled and said: "Don't bring many people, just pick a few from the Suiyu Tower."

Zhao Tong nodded. He didn't want to lead the soldiers in the first place. There were not many people alive below at the moment. The soldiers were all talkative. If the Ding brothers really found out about the underground city, they would inevitably have to use some means to silence them, but it was not what they wanted.

After talking, I named Huang Gu, Ouyang Bei, Lu Ping, Han Jiao, Jiang Zhang, and Xu Daqing. The last four also had their hands and feet. I can't say how good they are, but they're not bad either.

At this time, he called Zhu Xiaoyi again, and after the Ding brothers were ready, they went down to the mouth of the open channel.

Zhu Xiaoyi opened the way and headed straight for the largest crypt, which was on the south side. There was a constant sound of water in the trough on the road, gurgling forward.

Ouyang Bei wondered: "Where have I seen so much water elsewhere before, and where does this come from?"

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "Grandpa, I don't know, this is the main channel of the underground canal, and there is a big pool in front of it, which is really full of water."

Everyone moved forward, and sure enough they came to the big pool. All they saw was green and gloomy, and they couldn't see the bottom.

Zhu Xiaoyi said: "Your Majesty, this pool has a name in Guifan Tower, it's called Bibo Pool."
