A moment later, a soldier ran up to Xiao Yunhao.
"General, we've discovered three secret passages, and there are people inside."
Xiao Yunhao glanced at Jia Zuozhen.
Jia Zuozhen's pupils trembled, "General, I don't know."
"Take it away and close the door!"
Xiao Yunhao left ten soldiers to guard the gate of the Jia Mansion, and took Jia Zuozhen, who was shaking like a sieve, straight to the courtyard where the secret passage was discovered.
"General."
The soldiers guarding the three secret passages saw Xiao Yunhao and immediately reported.
"In this courtyard, there is a secret passage to each of the bedroom, living room, and greenhouse."
"There are people in the three secret passages."
They didn't know what was going on in the secret passage, and no one dared to go down without Xiao Yunhao's order.
Who knows if there is someone lying in ambush down there, waiting for them to go down so that they can deal with them one by one.
Xiao Yunhao looked at the three secret passages one by one, and his cold eyes fell on Jia Zuozhen.
"Take some men and bring all the firewood and hay from the mansion."
"....." Jia Zuozhen glanced at the entrance of the secret passage, heard the rustling sound coming from the secret passage, and nodded quickly.
He knew what rebels meant.
When he went hunting in the mountains, he would smoke out rabbit nests whenever he found one.
Don't use your hands to dig it out because you're afraid there might be a snake hiding in the rabbit's nest.
The rebels did not go down the secret passage because they were afraid that there were "poisonous snakes" at the entrance.
Soon, Jia Zuozhen brought the servants from the mansion and carried three large baskets of hay to Xiao Yunhao.
Xiao Yunhao immediately ordered the soldiers to light the hay and throw it into the secret passage.
In less than a cup of tea, bursts of coughing and the sound of running footsteps were heard from the three secret passages.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem -- ahem -- spare my life!"
"Don't burn... cough cough... we're out..."
"Help...ah...cough cough..."
“…”
Flames flickered at the entrances of the three secret passages, and most of the thick smoke poured into the secret passages, while some of it filled the three rooms, making everyone's throats itchy.
Jia Zuozhen stood at the door trembling with his hand covering his mouth. Listening to the cries for help coming from the secret passage, his head drooped lower and lower.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows.
But aren’t these three caves a bit too close?
Xiao Yunhao stared at the three secret passage entrances without any intention of stopping.
The fire at the entrance of the secret passage was not very bright, but the smoke was quite thick.
If the people in the secret passage really want to escape, they can do so.
Those people made such a big noise in the secret passage, but no one came out, which meant they were trying to lure his people into the secret passage.
Xiao Yunhao curled his lips and sneered, "Increase the quantity."
"yes!"
The soldiers responded and threw twice as much hay into the three secret passages.
Soon, someone in the secret passage of the bedroom could not stand the smoke and ran out from the secret passage.
"Please--ahem--please spare my life---"
"I--we are both decent women, cough cough... Sir, please spare my life..."
“…”
Seven or eight crying women crawled out of the secret passage of the bedroom one after another.
The group of women knelt limply on the ground, covering their chests and coughing, begging for mercy.
Jia Zuozhen looked at Jiang Hai's concubines, who looked like they were crying with snot on their faces, and curled his lips in disgust.
These damn bitches are just taking advantage of the power of others.
They relied on being Jiang Hai's concubines and looked down on the people in his house.
A decent girl, bah!
All of them were picked up by Jiang Hai from brothels, and of course some were given to Jiang Hai by others.
Anyway, few of them are girls from decent families.
Xiao Yunhao frowned impatiently.
"Gag him, tie him up, and throw him into the yard."
“…Please….Ugh…”
Before the concubines could cry out in protest, their mouths were blocked by the soldiers.
The soldiers looked at the concubines' tender, sparkling eyes, as if they were pigs tied up for the New Year and ready to be slaughtered, without any emotion at all.
The general said that lust is a double-edged sword.
Many enemies will pretend to be weak women and stab them when they are soft-hearted.
You only have one life, so you can't be careless.
Jia Zuozhen looked at the concubines who were tied up tightly in the yard, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
The man who brought this bunch of people together must have been a pig butcher in the past.
After a while, people from the three secret passages crawled out one after another, choking and half dead.
More and more people were still tied up in the yard.
Jia Zuozhen voluntarily contributed all the hemp ropes in the Jia family, for fear that Jiang Hai's people would take the opportunity to escape and come back to kill his entire Jia family.
Xiao Yunhao carefully looked at every person who came out of the secret passage.
The river and the sea were never found.
After all three baskets of hay were burned, no one came out of the secret passage anymore...
