After the loud noise, there were two more booms, and dirt even began to fall from the roof of the dark room. The third prince couldn't care about Jian Yu at this time. He hurriedly walked to the wall and listened to the noise outside.
After the continuous sounds, there was deathly silence.
The third prince's heart was a little fast, and he had a bad feeling.
At the same time, outside the Prince's Mansion, groups of officers and soldiers stood in a row holding thick logs. In front of them was a ruins.
This style is usually used to hit the city gate when attacking the city. At this time, Prince Jing used it to demolish the house.
Several logs hit the wall at the same time, and it immediately fell to one side, and the house was instantly razed to the ground.
Other soldiers held torches, illuminating the courtyard of the Third Prince's Mansion like daylight. The wind blew the flames and flickered on and off. The figure of Prince Jing stretched long and long, and finally disappeared into the shadows behind the door. It could not be said to be mysterious and dangerous.
No one questioned Prince Jing's order. With one smash, all the soldiers obeyed and bulldozed a room in the third prince's residence in just a few strokes.
The secret guards investigated extremely quickly, and all the ladies and empresses involved moved around desperately. Within an hour, they found the master ink master who built the Prince's Mansion.
However, the ink master had passed away, and it was his son who was found.
His son said that he did not know the structure of the Prince's Mansion, but after hearing his father mention it, one thing was certain that there was a secret passage in the Prince's Mansion, and there was more than one.
Back then, an accident occurred three days after his father completed the construction of the prince's palace. He had always suspected that the third prince killed the person and silenced him in order to prevent the secret passage from being leaked.
The secret guard is the best at discerning people's hearts. In a few words, there are threats and inducements. The son of the ink master told everything he knew and had always suspected.
The soldiers searching the city have only searched less than half of the city, but judging from this trend, it will be difficult to catch the third prince. The third prince ran away after hearing the news before. This time the search is more vigorous, and he must have a hiding place. .
Speaking of hiding places, the first thing Zhou Jinyan thought of was the Third Prince's Mansion. If there was a secret passage, that would be the best place to hide!
The master ink master of the Prince's Mansion was a well-known skilled craftsman in Shengjing back then, famous for his ingenious designs, but few people knew that he was best at secret passages.
Just like the secret passage in the study, the secret guards searched more than once and failed to find it, which shows that the design is exquisite!
With the secret passage in the study, the secret guards searched again, but still found nothing.
Zhou Jinyan frowned when he came to the third prince's house and heard this report. He couldn't waste time. The later he caught the third prince, the less safe Yu'er would be.
Zhou Jinyan immediately ordered that everything be bulldozed!
No matter how delicate the secret tunnel is, no matter how sophisticated the mechanism is, as long as it is a tunnel, someone must walk through it. There is always an entrance or exit under the ground or above the ground.
Dig with a shovel, smash with a hammer, hit with a log...
If the entire residence of the third prince is razed to the ground, it will be clear how many "mouse holes" there are!
As for whether there would be agencies destroying the secret passage, Zhou Jinyan was not worried about it. The third prince used this secret passage as a back-up to escape, and it was for himself, not against outsiders.
Therefore, there will be no mechanism that collapses like a tomb.
The third prince in the dark room heard a noise, which was the sound of the wall being pushed down. Rather than searching for the mechanism with a little effort, it was better to be so simple and crude.
After bulldozing two yards one after another, a second secret passage was soon discovered. This secret passage was very short and led to the backyard of a restaurant on the next street. This restaurant was owned by the third prince.
Zhou Jinyan ordered the demolition to continue.
He stood aside, staring at the collapse of houses one after another. He seemed calm and calm, but in fact his whole heart was trembling. He was too scared.
At this moment, Zhou Jinyan didn't dare to think about how dangerous Jian Yu would be. He only had one idea: to find Jian Yu and rescue Jian Yu.
In the dark room, the third prince and his subordinates in black didn't look good. They wanted to go out to see what was going on, but they were worried about being caught if they showed up.
When the first few vibrations occurred, they thought it was an earth dragon turning over. After subsequent vibrations, they determined that it was someone on the ground doing something.
Demolish the house?
Thinking of this possibility, the third prince's face darkened. Prince Jing actually humiliated himself so much that he directly took over his third prince's mansion!
The third prince did not think that Zhou Jinyan was looking for a secret passage, but the subordinate in black did. He raised this point and said: "Master, we have to leave as soon as possible."
This darkroom will be demolished soon, and then they will be like fish swimming in the bottom of the cauldron, unable to escape!
Even if he ran away now, he still had to find a suitable place, because once the secret room was leaked and the officers and soldiers followed the tunnel to find the exit and then conducted a range search, they would be more likely to be exposed.
Listening to the words of the subordinate in black, the third prince looked solemn. He understood this truth. Hiding in a dark room was a completely safe place, but it was no longer.
In addition to the darkroom, places outside Shengjing are even more unsafe!
Let him think about it, let him think about what to do!
Suddenly, the third prince's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Jian Yu.
Maybe, it's also an opportunity.
"Master, we found another dark room! There is the princess's veil in it!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jinyan ducked and flew over with Qinggong. He saw a beige handkerchief with a puppy embroidered on it. They bought it from a little girl on the street on their way back to Shengjing from Qingzhou City. .
On the puppy's tail, there is a piece of blood about the size of a thumb that has not yet dried. Is Yu'er injured? !
At this moment, the blood on the handkerchief reflected in Zhou Jinyan's eyes. His eyes were filled with blood. When he looked up again, his eyes were red and bloodshot.
"Keep pushing, search every secret passage carefully!"
After giving the instructions, Zhou Jinyan walked out along the secret passage of the secret room. His intuition told him that he could find his concubine from here.
The secret passage was very long, and Zhou Jinyan could see various jewelry from time to time along the way, all of which were worn by Jian Yu today. He was sure that the princess must have walked through this secret passage.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyan's anger became even stronger. The secret passage was damp, insects and ants crawled from time to time, and there was a rotten smell. Yu'er couldn't smell these, so she must have been very uncomfortable when passing by!
He will definitely make that damn third prince pay the price!
Through the secret passage, Zhou Jinyan came out of the dry well, and Wei Bai followed with several secret guards.
Without Zhou Jinyan's instructions, Wei Bai started to take action. The secret guards began to carefully explore the surroundings. Zhou Jinyan focused his attention on an alley full of withered yellow leaves and flew over.
There is a courtyard at the end of the alley. At this time, the secret guard next to him came over and said: "Master, the moisture in the secret passage is different from the soil here. I found a person's footprints, and the end is this courtyard."
The third prince's mansion is covered with red soil, while the other side is covered with loess, making it easy to identify.
At this time, footsteps came from the yard, the wooden door creaked open, and a person appeared in front of Zhou Jinyan.
——It’s a red plum.
"My lord, the princess is in their hands. They asked their slaves to deliver the message."
Hongmei choked up, finally seeing the prince! The lady is saved!
Thinking of what the third prince had done, anxiety flashed in Hongmei's eyes. The prince couldn't be fooled! But I couldn't say anything more, otherwise the young lady in the room would be hurt!
For the first time, Hongmei felt that she was so stupid and couldn't figure out how to secretly send news to the prince!
