Chapter 114 Life is like grass
Lu Qingqing looked inside and it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything!
Liang Pei quickly lit a tinder, and the fire illuminated the entrance as well as a staircase with steps inside the tunnel!
Liang Pei went down first and cleared the way, followed by Lu Yuanzheng and Lu Qingqing behind!
Lu Qingqing entered the tunnel and quickly restored the entrance to be exactly the same as before.
There was a fire stick in the tunnel, and it was suddenly as bright as day. Lu Qingqing asked:
"Where does the tunnel lead to?"
"It leads out of the city, but we have to get back to the restaurant first and then go out to the ground halfway."
Lu Qingqing and Lu Yuanzheng don’t know where they are halfway?
He didn't ask Liang Pei, but just walked beside him quietly and cautiously!
Liang Pei lit a fire and walked quickly in front. The tunnel was winding and twisting. Finally, after turning a few big bends, Liang Pei stopped in front of a protruding wall.
He let Lu Yuanzheng hold the fire starter and gently push the protruding wall forward with both hands!
They saw the wall move right under their noses, and actually shrank back, revealing a tunnel hidden within a tunnel!
This tunnel seemed to have no signs of anyone having walked through it, and the small raised piles of mud on the ground had not yet been smoothed out!
Lu Qingqing guessed that this tunnel must have been dug by Liang Pei who secretly sneaked into Chen's mansion!
However, with so many people guarding the Chen Mansion, how did he sneak in and how did he do it without anyone noticing?
Lu Qingqing was very confused about this, but she was even more confused as to why Liang Pei dug this tunnel in Chen's Mansion!
At this moment, Liang Pei seemed to be able to see through Lu Qingqing's thoughts and immediately said:
"This Chen Jinsong has been an official for many years, but he has also been a slave for hundreds of years. The people of Yongquanzhou may not think he is a tyrant, but countless families in the neighboring city have been torn apart by him! I was thinking of burying explosives in the tunnel to blow him up, but I didn't expect the Huns to attack so quickly and burn him to death, which saved me the trouble of doing it myself!"
Liang Pei said it lightly, but he could not forget it!
Two years ago, his younger sister, who had married to the neighboring city of Lishui, was abducted by the county magistrate of Lishui because of her beautiful looks and sent to Chen Jinsong's bed!
Chen Jinsong is not only greedy for money and cruel, but also madly in love with other people's wives!
My sister was tortured by him using various means for two days, and was finally abandoned in a mass grave!
When he and his brother-in-law found his sister, she was dying. She smiled at them and passed away!
He hated and resented Chen Jinsong, and even wanted to kill him to avenge his sister. His brother-in-law wanted to do the same, but he was very rational and advised him to be patient, as the matter needed long-term consideration!
After the brother-in-law comforted him, he took his sister's body back alone!
However, no one expected that the next day, he was also killed by the people sent by Chen Jinsong, and even two one-year-old children were not spared!
A family died tragically, and their two children had their ears cut off and died after being tortured to death!
Liang Pei fell ill all of a sudden and was in a coma several times!
One month later, he met a caravan from Mongolia that was carrying goods to Yan Dynasty. He bought a large amount of gunpowder and explosives from the caravan.
Afterwards, he began to plan, and after many twists and turns, he finally sneaked into Chen Jinsong's house, and secretly discovered that there was a tunnel in his house leading out of the city!
Liang Pei jumped into the tunnel without saying a word, raised the tiger head, and dug a tunnel that only he knew about for a year right under their noses!
However, before it could even be used, Chen Jinsong died!
Or he was burned to death by the raging fire!
Have a good death!
He was very happy, and his sister's family could finally rest in peace!
Liang Pei did not tell Lu Qingqing and Lu Yuanzheng about these, and they did not ask any further questions.
But everyone can guess what that corrupt official did to Liang Pei's family?
Lu Qingqing felt that it was too easy for him to be burned to death. At least she would let him experience 81 kinds of tortures and then turn him into a eunuch to make her feel better!
"The exit is right here." Lu Qingqing thought so, and Liang Pei stopped holding the fire starter.
The tinder illuminated the wall in front, and I saw that it was the end.
Liang Pei gave the fire starter to Lu Yuanzheng and immediately pushed open the wall in front of him, revealing an entrance that was even larger than the one before.
Liang Pei put out the fire, and the white light from outside suddenly shone in, a little dazzling!
Lu Qingqing raised her hand to block it and hurried out!
Her eyes couldn't adjust to the bright light all of a sudden, so she squinted!
When my eyes adjusted, I looked up and saw that the entrance to the tunnel was a house that had been abandoned for many years!
Lu Qingqing glanced around and made sure that this place was well hidden and would not be discovered.
The three of them sealed the entrance to the underground cellar and quietly walked towards the restaurant!
At this time, the Golden Crow was already hanging in the middle of the west corner!
In another hour, the golden crow will set in the west, ushering in the scorching night!
It’s not far from the house to Ruyi Restaurant, just need to pass through two streets!
However, there were Huns everywhere outside searching the city, so they couldn’t get out easily!
After finally getting out of the house and turning into the street, I heard five more Huns coming in front!
One of the Huns was tall and mighty, carrying a man on his shoulders!
The person seemed to be a girl, cursing on the Hun's shoulder!
They quickly hid behind the beams of a house and looked out through the cracks in the roof!
The Xiongnu invaders were approaching, and Lu Qingqing recognized the girl he was carrying on his shoulders at a glance. It was Song Yuqing, whom she had released from the dungeon in Chen's mansion!
Song Yuqing cried and cursed:
"Let me go, you bunch of dirty beasts, do you know who I am? If you don't let me go, when my parents come, I will let them feed you shit and urine!"
Song Yuqing's way of scolding people is still not very good. Eight out of ten sentences are about her parents!
Lu Qingqing was curious about who her parents were.
Coincidentally, Liang Pei knew her!
"Her parents are well-known wealthy businessmen in Yongquanzhou. They gave birth to her when they were over 40 years old. The father had a daughter, and the whole family spoiled her very much, which also cultivated her unruly, willful, arrogant and cruel personality!"
"At such a young age, she is already used to disciplining servants in an adult's tone. At least eight out of ten servants have been abused and disabled by her. She has also killed many people. Her parents have money, so they spent it to help her deal with all the cases!"
After talking about Miss Song's glorious deeds, Liang Pei sighed again:
"In the eyes of the rich, the lives of children from poor families are worthless!"
Lu Qingqing and Lu Yuanzheng were stunned for a while when they heard this!
Miss Song is so young, but she did something so serious. Now she has been captured by the Huns. Is this what she deserves?
The Xiongnu felt that Song Yuqing was too noisy, and regardless of the fact that she was still a child, he reached out and slapped her hard:
"Shut up, damn it! If you keep making noise I'll cut off your tongue!"
