The master was knocked out by the drug, so he drank a spoonful too. What good is tofu pudding with knockout drug? Drink as little as possible, and don't drink it if you can.
After taking a symbolic sip, the dark-haired guy fell asleep on the table.
When Ruan Qing saw that the matter was done, she immediately smiled and was extremely happy. She quickly carried the person to the backyard, and said a few words deliberately for fear of arousing suspicion.
"Oh! These two kids are so young that they can fall asleep after drinking tofu pudding. I'll carry you to the backyard to have a good rest. We'll talk after you've had enough sleep."
No one else cared. They drank their tofu pudding and left in a hurry. They were all people living at the bottom of society. They had to work to earn money to support their families as soon as they opened their eyes every day.
Who has the time to pay attention to these?
No one cares about the child. Whether she is asleep or not is none of their business.
Mao Liuer saw Ruan Qing carrying Chu Xiaoxiao into the backyard, and immediately went outside to bring Heitantou in. There were two children in total, and they had to take them both away.
Ruan Qing held the heavy milk ball in her arms, her mouth crooked with smile.
"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. I came to your place today and ran into them. Mao Liu'er! Don't miss the opportunity. Hurry up and open the secret passage and leave the city immediately.
The rest of you will stay here for now, and we two will go. We will tell others that we are a couple, and our two children have a strange disease and need medical treatment.
We brought knockout drugs with us all the way. We can’t let them wake up, or there will be trouble. The Imperial Master is very powerful. We won’t be able to deal with them if they wake up.”
Mao Liuer looked at Chu Xiaoxiao in Ruan Qing's hand, then looked at the black charcoal head in his own hand, and asked helplessly: "Is it necessary to do this?
Ruan Qing! The Imperial Master is not something we can control. What if she refuses to cooperate when we go to the North? What will the King think of us?
You also know that the Imperial Master is very capable, and the journey is long and arduous, so who can guarantee that she won't make any mistakes?"
[Ahaha! Mao Liuer is so far-sighted that he wants to steal me and present me to the Northern Emperor? You guys are really awesome, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?]
Black charcoal head: "......"
Mao Liu'er is just a fool, he doesn't even understand the principle that once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Can he stop the madam of Baihualou from doing what she wants to do?
"Don't be so gibberish."
In fact, after Mao Liuer's analysis, Ruan Qing was unsure. Why didn't she think of this?
Yes! Although the imperial teacher of Dongsheng was young, she had big ideas. If she didn't want to cooperate, no one would be able to pry her mouth open.
What if she went to the North and deliberately spread nonsense? What if she deliberately misled the king and caused the North to fall into more intense internal strife?
Would the king blame her at that time? If she hadn't taken the imperial teacher back, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
"I'm not complaining at all." Mao Liuer snorted in dissatisfaction. "What I said is the truth. What's the point of you getting rid of him unilaterally? You have to see if you can control this person.
Anyway, I have no control over it. I will do whatever you say along the way and try my best to cooperate. Whether you can win credit in front of the king depends on your ability.
I am your subordinate. I don't seek credit, but I hope to avoid mistakes. You are the one who led this matter. If anything goes wrong, don't look for me."
Ruan Qing glared at him and ordered, "Open the cellar without further delay and let's go."
Mao Liu placed the charcoal head on a chair beside him, moved away the debris piled on the unused stove, lifted the lid of the pot, revealing the secret passage underneath.
He had always disguised this place as abandoned, so no one who came here would have thought that it was a cellar.
Ruan Qing carried Chu Xiaoxiao and went downstairs first. Mao Liuer went to the backyard, put on the bag that had been prepared long ago, picked up Heitantou, and followed him down to the cellar.
The other three people in the tofu pudding shop looked on eagerly but didn't dare to say anything, as this had been agreed upon long ago.
The three of them stayed behind to act as the insiders. Mao Liuer said, "This planned event looks perfect, but it is actually not worth implementing. The Imperial Master will not be manipulated by anyone. I am afraid that this time we will return empty-handed.
You guys stay in Douhuapu for the time being. When we really reach the Northern Kingdom and the Imperial Master is willing to submit to the King, I will come back and continue to lurk in Dongsheng.
We brothers have been living in Dongsheng for so many years and have long been accustomed to life here. We may not be able to get used to it if we go back to the north.
You guys should do your job well and don’t expose yourself. If the officers and soldiers from Dongsheng come to investigate, you can just say you know nothing and put the blame on me.”
The three men remained silent, still working, but their eyes were secretly watching Mao Liuer's actions. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them taking the two children into the tunnel.
Less than ten breaths after they left, the tofu shop was surrounded by Wang Mingkui's men, and the three people who stayed behind were captured and interrogated.
The old duke and the old lady hid in the dark, and felt relieved when they saw the prefect of Jingzhao arrive so timely.
"It turns out that Jingzhao Prefecture has long been eyeing the tofu pudding shop." The old lady looked at Wang Mingkui in the distance with admiration, "I wonder if he will find the secret passage in the tofu pudding shop. Should we go and tell him?"
"No need." The old Duke waved his hand and refused. "I think we should go back! Since the Jingzhao prefect has been keeping an eye on us for a long time, he must know everything about the tofu pudding shop. Look, he has walked to the entrance of the secret passage."
Really, Wang Mingkui and his men opened the entrance to the secret passage, and everyone followed closely.
Are you kidding? The national teacher was kidnapped. If nothing happens, it's fine. But if something goes wrong, he will have more than eighteen heads to chop off.
Chu Xiaoxiao: “…”
Don't worry! Even if you don't have eighteen heads, the emperor won't chop you off. Just follow me.
Even though she was pretending to be asleep, she was still conscious. When Ruan Qing led her into the secret passage, she dropped a golden melon seed at regular intervals.
Even though it hurts, I have to throw it away because I'm afraid the person coming behind me is too stupid to find me.
At worst, she could ask them to take everything back later. That was the gold she had saved with great difficulty, and she couldn't let it be given away to outsiders for nothing.
As soon as Wang Mingkui came out of the secret passage, he saw two golden melon seeds on the ground. He picked them up and looked at them carefully, and realized that they must have been left by the imperial teacher.
I have to say that the national master is the national master. Don't look at his small size, he is very methodical in doing things. With this golden melon seed leading the way, he will definitely be able to arrest Mao Liuer from the tofu pudding shop.
The secret passage underneath the tofu pudding shop was dug by Mao Liuer and three other people in the shop. There is not only a main road but also many branch roads.
Ruan Qing looked at it and frowned, "Mao Liu'er! Are you so bored? Why are you digging so many tunnels for no reason?"
Mao Liuer looked at her dissatisfiedly: "What do you know? Of course there is a purpose for digging so much. If we come down, if someone notices us and follows us, there are so many secret passages, it will be enough for them to go around for a few times.
This buys us some time, so we can get away faster and distance ourselves from them. Do you think I am bored?"
