Things had come to this.
Xu Ruyun also gave up.
Even though she didn't have high expectations before she came to the imperial prison.
She knew her father too well.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a stubborn donkey.
Moreover, Xu Ruyun had thought of another way.
That was to use his own life to force the jailer to open the cell door and release Xu Yannian after he arrived at the imperial prison.
However, Xu Ruyun knew very well.
Even if she asked the jailer to open the cell door, her father would not come out.
He was already determined to die.
"You can leave. You don't have to persuade me anymore.”
Xu Yannian looked at her.
Xu Yannian did not hate his daughter.
However, their positions were already different.
Therefore, there was nothing much to say.
In the end, Xu Ruyun left the imperial prison with endless unwillingness.
At the same time.
In the capital of Chu.
Chai Jin entered the residence.
Shen Lang came here early in the morning to discuss with Chai Jin how to save Xu Yannian from the imperial prison.
That day, Xu Yannian knocked Dou Zhao's palanquin to the ground with a stick in front of Grand Scribe Dou Zhao's house.
This matter spread throughout the entire Imperial City.
Although the empress had explicitly forbidden the commoners from discussing this matter in private, the empress was still worried.
However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world.
The commoners spread the news by word of mouth.
Moreover, the two articles that Dou Zhao had written accusing Su Che of his crimes were also posted on the streets and alleys of the Imperial City.
Originally, when these two articles were published, it would greatly affect the views of the Chu people on Su Che.
However, after Xu Yannian's ruckus…
Many people in the Imperial City felt that Su Che had been wronged.
The day before yesterday, there were still many people who wrote ten thousand letters and wanted to send them to the yamen.
The empress implored the empress to investigate Su Che's case thoroughly.
Give Su Che justice.
However, Zhao Mengfu stopped them halfway.
He said that he would pass the Book of Ten Thousand Names to the empress.
The commoners knew that Zhao Mengfu was Su Che's sworn brother and trusted him.
But in reality.
Zhao Mengfu didn't even hand the letter to the empress.
Because he knew.
This letter was useless.
On the contrary, it would cause the people who signed their names to be imprisoned.
He was doing this to protect these people.
"Second brother, do you feel that big brother has changed recently?”
Shen Lang was a straightforward person.
"It's indeed a little different from before."
Chai Jin nodded.
He felt that Zhao Mengfu's calmness was unusual after Su Che's accident.
After he and Shen Lang received the news, they immediately brought the army back.
However, Zhao Mengfu had brought two deputies back with him.
Moreover, he had also received news.
It was said that after Zhao Mengfu returned to the Imperial City that day, he immediately went to Prime Minister Li Yu's residence.
Chai Jin did not tell Shen Lang.
Otherwise, with Shen Lang's personality, he would definitely confront Zhao Mengfu.
Chai Jin planned to find out the truth before telling Shen Lang.
Now, something happened to Su Che.
The brothers had to unite as one to turn the situation around.
"Let's not talk about big brother's matter first. The most important thing now is to save Lord Xu.”
Chai Jin said.
"I have a map of the imperial prison here. When Fifth Brother designed this imperial prison, he built a secret passage that led from his family's firewood shed to the deepest part of the imperial prison.”
"What is it? There's such a secret passage?"
Shen Lang did not know about this before, so he was surprised when he heard it.
"Yes."
Chai Jin nodded and said,
"When the imperial prison was built, you weren't in the Imperial City, so it's normal that you don't know.”
"Moreover, I'm not the only one who has this map. Big brother has it too.”
Hearing Chai Jin's words, Shen Lang could not help but frown,"
"Do you think it's possible that big brother has really sided with the empress and the others?”
Shen Lang did not want to doubt his brother, but the signs showed that something was wrong with Zhao Mengfu.
"Don't say anything without evidence. I believe that big brother won't betray us.”
Zhao Mengfu was indeed suspicious.
But Chai Jin still chose to believe him.
After all, they had been brothers for so many years.
He didn't believe that Zhao Mengfu was the kind of person who would betray his brothers for benefits.
"Yes."
Since Chai Jin said so, Shen Lang did not say anything else.
"I spent money to bribe a prison guard in the imperial prison. He said that the Empress Dowager also went to the imperial prison today and wanted to save him, but Lord Xu refused.”
"He is now seeking death."
Chai Jin said.
"Then what should we do?"
Shen Lang asked,"
"Why don't I go to the imperial prison through this secret passage and knock Lord Xu out before bringing him out?”
"It seems like this is the only way.”
Chai Jin said after thinking for a moment.
Xu Yannian was famous for his stubbornness. Once he had made a decision, he would not change it even if a knife was placed on his neck.
Therefore, she could only knock him out and take him away.
"Oh right, remember to be gentle when you attack. Lord Xu is already old and can't bear to be tortured.”
Chai Jin instructed.
He was much more mature than Shen Lang.
This was also the reason why Su Che entrusted him with many things.
It was so that if anything happened in the future, Chai Jin could stand up and take charge of the overall situation.
Otherwise, with Shen Lang's reckless personality, it would be easy for him to get into trouble.
"Don't worry, I know what to do.”
Shen Lang said.
"Then I'll think of a way to go to Fifth Brother's house tonight and rescue Lord Xu through the secret passage in the woodshed.”
"Now that Fifth Brother's house is heavily guarded, do you think you can enter?”
Chai Jin asked.
"This…"
Shen Lang thought about it carefully and felt that it was true.
The empress had sent hundreds of people to surround Su Che's mansion. Not even a bird could fly in.
Forget about humans.
Even if Shen Lang was skilled in martial arts, it would be difficult for him to enter.
Not to mention that he had to do it quietly and then bring Xu Yannian out with him after it was done.
"Don't worry, I still have a map here.”
As he spoke, Chai Jin took out a book from the bookshelf at the side. Then, in this book, there was a map,
"What is this?"
Shen Lang asked curiously.
"This is the map of the secret passage from your house to Fifth Brother's woodshed.”
" What?"
Shen Lang's face was filled with question marks.
His house actually had a secret passage that led to Su Che's woodshed.
Why didn't he know about this at all?
"When the imperial prison was built, Fifth Brother designed two secret passages.”
"One of them leads from his firewood shed to the imperial prison.”
"One is the woodshed that leads from your house to his house.”
"Moreover, these two secret passages have many branches. Without a map, you will get lost underground and find it difficult to get out. In the end, you will be trapped alive below.”
Chai Jin explained.
"Don't underestimate these two secret passages. When Fifth Brother had people dig them, it took a lot of effort because these secret passages could easily collapse.”
After hearing that, Shen Lang could not help but sigh,"
"Damn, Fifth Brother is really a fucking talent.”
He was now completely impressed by Su Che.
Su Che's foresight was indeed unparalleled.
Even building a prison could produce so many things.
Shen Lang did not dare to imagine how many trump cards Su Che had yet to reveal.
