Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 489 Blocked the Secret Passage
After Gu Zheng sent Yue Lingzhi home, he went to search Chu's house with the officers and soldiers overnight.

At this time, the Chu family had already extinguished the fire, and a person was temporarily selected to replace Chu Tian as the head of the Chu family.

Patriarch Chu personally came out to stop Gu Zheng and the officers and soldiers.

"I don't know why King Nanyue brought his officers and soldiers here late at night?"

Gu Zheng said two words coldly: "Search!"

The deputy general who led the officers and soldiers read out the official document from the government.

"The Chu family is suspected of setting up a royal palace privately, making royal robes and crowns privately, and calling themselves emperor in private!"

The head of the Chu family forced himself to be calm: "It's nonsense! Our Chu family has always followed the rules..."

Gu Zheng didn't want to listen to his nonsense: "Shut up!"

"The king received the letter that an underground palace was built under the Chu family's house. Except that it is smaller than the real palace, it should have the main hall and side hall, the front hall and the back hall, the sleeping hall, the Jinluan hall, the front garden and the back garden, and the maids and eunuchs. Everything is there!"

"There is another one inside, the old emperor who goes to court every day!"

"My lord didn't believe it at first, but I went in to investigate two days ago and found out that it was true!"

After hearing what Gu Zheng said, Patriarch Chu suddenly wanted to run inside, but Gu Zheng's hidden weapon had already flown out, hitting his two legs respectively.

"Ah!" Patriarch Chu fell to the ground in pain.

At the same time, the gate of the Chu family was closed, and countless arrows were shot from the walls of the Chu family.

Gu Zheng retreated to one side, it was expected that the Chu family would resist the entry of officers and soldiers.

With a gesture from the lieutenant general, a row of soldiers set up their cannons under the cover of their companions' shields.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The earth cannons exploded one after another, and the proud gate of the Chu family in Yuecheng was blown beyond recognition, and collapsed along with the surrounding walls.

The archers inside the wall were also blasted to pieces by the earth cannon.

Under the command of the lieutenant general, the officers and soldiers entered the Chu family mansion with a shield in each hand.

The officers and soldiers behind continued to shoot arrows, and the soldiers of the Chu family retreated steadily.

At the same time, those in charge of the Chu family, as well as the decent women and children of the Chu family, were all transferred to the underground palace.

In the mansion, only the maids, some insignificant concubines, and the soldiers of the Chu family who were in charge of fighting to the end were left in the mansion.

The battle was over soon, and the genius was slightly bright at this time.

The entrance of the underground palace, Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi have already found out clearly, one is inside the wall of the secret room of the main house, there are steps leading down to the underground palace.

There is also an old dry well in the back garden.

But both entrances were blocked by them.

It doesn't matter, the officers and soldiers have plenty of strength, just dig it up again.

But it will take some time.

*
In an ordinary house about a mile away from the Chu family's mansion, a group of people were coming out of the tunnel one by one.

They are the Chu family who escaped from the underground palace of the Chu family's mansion.

The women all held back and did not dare to cry. Some of the younger children also stuffed cotton cloths in their mouths just to be on the safe side.

All the people in the tunnel came up, there were five or sixty people, big and small.

A man asked: "Have you blocked the secret passage?"

The last man who came up replied, "It's blocked."

A young man shed tears: "The owner and wife, as well as the old man and the old lady, are all still in the underground palace..."

The man comforted him: "The food in the underground palace is enough for them to live for more than three months..."

"What about in three months?"

Even the tunnels are blocked, they can only wait to die.

"Second brother, our underground palace should have been discovered..."

"So, officers and soldiers will find them, and they will be arrested and punished!"
