Chapter 129 Who wants to swim in this muddy water
Early the next morning.
The five of them gathered together in the study room. Tang Mingzhou was full of energy, while Xie Zhaosi's eyes were black and blue, and he looked listless.
Tang Mingzhou said, "Now that the officials have been replaced, government affairs have been neglected for a long time, and there are constant reports of border battles. The situation is not optimistic."
Su Jin frowned, "The ministers have been replaced?"
"Yes, all the ministers who were able to talk in the Golden Palace were dismissed, and replaced by a group of small ruffians." He glanced at Su Jin and said softly, "The prime minister's residence has been ransacked."
After saying this sentence, Su Jin's body froze for a moment, but nothing unusual happened afterwards.
It was expected that the prime minister's mansion killed Gu Qichuan's sister, and now that he monopolizes the power and instigates everything, how could he not take action to clean up the prime minister's mansion, but he did not expect it to be so ruthless.
Although he didn't have much feeling for the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was a place where he had lived for many years after all, and he would be a little shocked when he heard about the ransacking of the house.
He suppressed the emotions in his heart, and asked with a normal expression, "Where are the other ministers?"
"They're all in front of the Prince Regent's Mansion all day long, waiting for Gong Mochen to "wake up"." Tang Mingzhou shook his head helplessly.
He told Su Jin all the recent things, only to see that Su Jin's expression became more and more embarrassing.
Su Jin asked, "Is there a way for us to go to the Regent's Palace?"
Just the five of them entering the palace to rescue Gong Mochen is nothing short of a dream. There are many elites in the regent's palace, and their help will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. After all, they will rescue their own master even if they risk their lives.
Tang Mingzhou gave him a somewhat complicated look, "There are guards outside the Hou's mansion, and it was a waste of effort for me to bring you back that day. If we go out of the Hou's mansion and then go to the Prince Regent's mansion, we will definitely be discovered by the National Teacher. At that time, when he finds out that you have returned to the capital, he will definitely control you, and then the loss outweighs the gain."
God knows how much thought he spent in luring people away that day. Chu Kongqiu killed people without blinking an eye. If he felt that he was going against him at all, he would definitely get rid of him with trembling hands. He would never care about them. The love of two working together.
For so many years, although Chu Kongqiu has not cultivated many trusted people around him, they basically use Gu worms to control people's minds, but now it is different, he is in the palace, and Gong Yan is willing to be his spearman , His order is comparable to that of the emperor, and elite soldiers will lock them up in an instant.
Tang Mingzhou said helplessly, "Besides, let's not talk about this, a group of people outside the Regent's Mansion are crying all day long, and we can't pass that level alone."
Su Jin couldn't help thinking of the little brother who broke into the Qiankun Palace like a drowned chicken that day, and had an idea, "Dig a tunnel?"
Tang Mingzhou, "...too far away."
Su Jin didn't have any hope either, he thought for a while and said, "Is it just you and Zhaosi who can't go out, or everyone can't?"
"Will not work."
"Then what do you do with your meals every day? Will there be no servants going out to buy vegetables?" Su Jin asked.
Tang Ming was stunned on Monday, "You mean..."
"We might as well hide in the vegetable cart and take this opportunity to leave the house."
"Then what about the level of the Prince Regent's Mansion?" Tang Mingzhou asked.
"I know that there is a tea house in the innermost alley in the capital. There are no people there on weekdays. There is a secret passage in it, which leads directly to the study of the Prince Regent's Mansion." Su Jin said.
This is what Gong Mochen told him when he returned to the Prince Regent's Mansion again. It was their escape route, and it might be used one day. Except for his cronies, Gong Mochen only told him this, so the degree of trust in him can be seen Unusual.
Zi Sheng and Ran Qing looked at each other, Zi Sheng nodded towards Ran Qing, Ran Qing hummed, and then said, "You go to the Prince Regent's Mansion first, Zi Sheng and I are going to the Pavilion Master's place, after all It’s better to talk to the pavilion master personally about the matter that comes out.”
Although Su Jin had delivered the letter in advance, it was time to meet and say hello.
Su Jin nodded, "Alright."
Everyone reached a consensus, and they acted while it was still early.
The thin and weak boy who bought vegetables on weekdays suddenly became the strong man who dug a tunnel to enter Manqing Pavilion that day.
The strong man held the handle of the vegetable cart and pressed down desperately, making the vegetable cart tilt up as easily as usual, his old face was flushed, and he almost wanted to scold his mother in his heart.
There are three old gentlemen weighing more than one hundred catties in this vegetable cart, and two women, a total of five people!The weight can be imagined.
His arms were bulging with veins, but he still pretended to be relaxed and pushed the vegetable cart towards the door.
He looked at the not-so-big vegetable cart, and couldn't figure out how five people were hidden in it.
As soon as he walked to the door, the person guarding there came over, looked him up and down, and said, "Why do you change today? Where is the kid who usually goes out to buy vegetables?"
He smiled naively and said, "He caught a cold yesterday and couldn't get up today, so I replaced him."
This person is someone close to Chu Kongqiu, who has become a guard, and has been here to prevent them from leaving the mansion. People who leave the mansion every day must be carefully checked.
The man didn't think much about it, he just waved his hand and asked a man beside him to come over, and warned, "Don't play any tricks, just come back after buying the vegetables, if there is anything disobedient, don't blame brother, I'm merciless noodle!"
The brawny man gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to show his anger. He could only say with restraint, "What are you talking about? How many times have we ever fooled you?"
Just this thin wolf dog-like guard could kill him with a single punch. If it was in the past, would you still need to look at his face? !He only hated the current situation, which made him have to bow his head.
Seeing his timid look, the guard smiled triumphantly, "He who knows current affairs is a hero, go and come back earlier."
"okay."
As he said that, he pushed the vegetable cart and went out, and the man who was called by the guard followed behind, staring closely, for fear that he would run away.
He glanced at him inadvertently from the corner of his eye as he pushed the vegetable cart, then pushed the cart and ran forward quickly.
How can an ordinary person match the foot strength of a martial arts practitioner? He dodged the person behind him with a few dodges.
He pushed the car to the corner, and the five people in the car quickly climbed out. After they came out, the strong man didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly pushed the car into the downtown area, and pretended to buy vegetables.
As soon as he stood in front of the vegetable stand, the man ran over panting, and said with some reproach, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?!"
He scratched his head, "The pace of martial arts practitioners is slightly faster than that of ordinary people. I pushed the cart and slowed down a bit. I didn't expect you to be unable to keep up. I'm really sorry, brother."
The man snorted coldly, turned his head away and remained silent.
The boy who bought vegetables before had some problems with his legs and feet, and he was old and walked very slowly. He changed people today, and he couldn't get used to it for a while. Besides, he just didn't watch for a while, and this is not the direction of the Prince Regent's Mansion. It should be fine.
The man didn't think too much, but just urged him to buy it quickly, and he was in a hurry to go back. The strong man smiled naively and greeted him again and again, feeling extremely impatient.
When they were arguing, the five people in the corner had already dispersed.
Zisheng and Ranqing didn't need to cover up, they just walked out of the alley and went straight to the auspicious teahouse.
Su Jin and the others had already disguised themselves and moved quietly to the teahouse inside.
The three stood outside the teahouse.
The teahouse is very dilapidated, it looks like an ordinary residential house, and the plaque on it is also unremarkable, no one would have guessed that this is the escape exit of the Prince Regent's Mansion.
A few people pretended to be ordinary people and went in. There were only three people in this teahouse, all of whom were disabled men. They seemed to have followed Gong Mochen and came here after being injured. There was not a single customer here for many days. They are very free.
Su Jin effortlessly stunned those people when they relaxed their vigilance, and then took Tang Mingzhou and Xie Zhaosi into a small room, opened the secret passage door on the ground, and the three entered the tunnel leisurely , and then closed the door from the inside.
The tunnel is very long, and the workmanship is very fine, even if it has been useless, it is still strong. When Gong Mochen secretly ordered people to dig this tunnel, it took more than a year, which shows how careful he is.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace, Gong Mochen has long expected that this day will come.
Everyone walked for a long time before reaching the end of the tunnel. They looked at the door in front of them, and after looking at each other, Su Jin took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open.
Chun Huinian, who was looking for things in the study, immediately heard the movement, and looked vigilantly at the back door of the last row of bookshelves, which was slowly opening.
He immediately put down the book in his hand, and said coldly, "Who?!"
Su Jin replied unhurriedly, "It's me."
As soon as the words fell, the doors were all opened, and the three of them appeared in front of Chun Huinian.
Su Jin looked at him without fear.
When Chun Huinian saw him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Su Jin?! You still have the guts to come back!"
"You have a clear conscience, why don't you dare?" Su Jin replied.
He didn't think he hurt Gong Mochen that much, Gong Mochen gave him more than one knife back then.
Chun Huinian roared, "Mo Chen married you with full of joy, but in the end you injured him to death and destroyed his body to such an extent! Do you still have the face to say that you have a clear conscience?!"
Su Jin sneered, "What crime did you accuse me of? I just stabbed him once, and the man is not dead yet, so why destroy the body?"
Chunhui Nianqi's body trembled, "You're talking nonsense! Mo Chen's body is floating in the lake, you still have the face to say you didn't kill him?!"
Su Jin frowned, "Gong Mochen is not dead, that's what I came here for today, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you, if you don't want to hear it, I'm leaving now, it just so happens that I don't want to either Drift this muddy water."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Mingzhou behind him was startled, and asked him with his eyes.
That's not what they said at the time!
