Chapter 411: Eating Inside and Out
"We must not step on the ground randomly there." Nan Jiao said in a deep voice. She thought of the time when Murong Yan took her to the Wuliang Temple in Chu State.
At that time, the ground was also covered with small pieces in a regular pattern. If you stepped on the wrong one, the mechanism would be activated.
"Let me step on one and try it out first." Zhan Beiheng said seriously.
"Be careful." Nan Jiao didn't fight with him for it, because she knew he wouldn't let her go first.
Zhan Beiheng nodded and walked towards the gridded area. He first stepped on the grid without patterns and felt nothing unusual. Then he continued.
He started to step on the second piece of ground without patterns.
But as soon as he stepped down, a dense array of sharp weapons flew out from the walls on both sides of them.
Zhan Beiheng moved and quickly retreated.
After the lattice sank, no more hidden weapons flew out from the wall.
Nan Jiao frowned. She thought she could pass by stepping on the ones without patterns, but she didn't expect that there would be an attack on the second piece. "Will the second piece be the one with patterns?"
"Maybe, but the third one..."
"Let me think about it. Last time at the Wuliang Temple in Chu State, when Murong Yan took me to get the Bodhi root, there was a similar formation on the ground." Nan Jiao poked her head with her hand.
Thinking about how they left last time.
The rules here of Huangfu Xiong must not be simple, otherwise not everyone can get in by breaking into the secret room. It must be difficult to guess and have a regular pattern.
Zhan Beiheng: “…”
He actually still remembered the formation he had with Murong Yan.
Suddenly, Nan Jiao said in surprise: "I'll go first this time. I'll try the method taught by Murong Yan."
The words fell.
She rushed forward.
Plain plaid, patterned plaid, two plain plaids, two patterned plaids, three plain plaids, three patterned plaids…
The journey was particularly smooth and no mechanisms were activated.
After that, the two of them walked according to the rules without any problems, and finally arrived at the door of a room.
"I didn't expect that the method taught by Murong Yan is so useful." Nan Jiao couldn't help but say.
"Don't praise him." Zhan Beiheng's tone was full of sourness.
Nan Jiao's mouth twitched slightly, "Stingy."
Zhan Beiheng: “…”
He was just being petty and didn't want to hear her praise any other man.
Next second.
He stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the room. It was bright inside because the walls were inlaid with luminous pearls. The whole room was as bright as day and full of jewels.
Nan Jiao looked around and clenched her fists, "How much did the Huangfu family embezzle?"
Unfortunately, they couldn't take it away this time.
If she had room to move, she would move everything.
She couldn't help but envy her good sister again, after all, she had a big space.
Zhan Beiheng's eyes were solemn, and his thin lips were pursed into a sharp arc. He knew that most of the ministers in the court were not clean, and only a few were honest and upright.
Of course, my father also knows.
As long as they are not too greedy and are willing to fulfill their responsibilities, he will choose to turn a blind eye to most of them.
After all, it is difficult to completely eliminate corrupt officials.
"Let's find evidence first." Zhan Beiheng said coldly. When the Huangfu family is cleared out, all these will be used to add to the national treasury.
"Yeah." Nan Jiao quickly walked towards the desk.
There is an agency in the outside passage.
There might be some in this room as well, so we have to be careful.
The two of them went to the desk at the same time. Huangfu Xiong would definitely put important documents in the drawer.
There are some ancient books on the desk.
Zhan Beiheng directly opened the drawer and saw a box inside. There were obvious envelopes in the box. He took them out quickly and found that they were full of letters.
Except for those who have contact with the Empress.
He actually exchanged letters with people from the State of Wei, but it is unclear from the letters who he was contacting in the State of Wei.
"The Huangfu family should be executed along with all nine generations of their clan. They actually colluded with the State of Wei." Nan Jiao read the contents of the letter and couldn't control her anger.
This person eats both the inside and the outside.
"Well, we'll hand these over to our father when we get back." Zhan Beiheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Look again to see if there is anything else." Nan Jiao continued to pull out other drawers. She couldn't take the gold, silver, and jewelry with her, but she could take the letters.
The two men looked through all the drawers and found some other letters with officials in the Qin court. They took them all away.
Each person took a portion and hid it on his body.
No more stopping, leave quickly.
In the study.
Huangfu Xiong fell to the ground and rolled over in pain. At this moment, he felt as if he was being bitten by thousands of insects. Everything about him was wrong and he felt that life was worse than death.
Yoyo Baoer had been staring at the entrance to the secret passage. After hearing footsteps, the two of them ran over quickly.
A moment.
Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng came out.
"Father and Mother." Yoyo Baoer shouted happily. Fortunately, they were fine. Now they could finally leave this broken place.
Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng each picked up a child.
"Golden Branch and White Tiger, take him away and let's leave." Nan Jiao said coldly. Now they had to leave Xian'an City.
"Yes, Master." Baihu grabbed Huangfu Xiong and dragged him outside.
Jinzhi followed with sword.
Several others led the way.
Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng walked at the back with their children.
Before the group left the mansion, they heard footsteps outside. When Huangfu Ming saw all the guards outside the courtyard fall to the ground, he knew that something had happened in the mansion.
As soon as he rushed in, he saw his father being dragged in a horrible manner. His right shoulder blade was covered in blood, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, and he looked very painful.
"Father!"
Huangfu Xiong looked at him with an extremely serious expression and said, "Don't worry about me. Kill them all and don't let them leave Xian'an City."
Huangfu Ming's pupils shrank, and his voice trembled, "Father..."
"Prince Jin and Princess Jin have come out of the secret room with evidence of Huangfu family's treason in their hands. If they are allowed to return to the capital, the Huangfu family will execute all nine generations of their clan!" Huangfu Xiong said sternly.
He can die.
But the Huangfu family cannot exterminate all nine clans.
We must not let Zhan Beiheng and his team return to the capital smoothly.
This is the only way to protect the Huangfu family.
Huangfu Ming's face changed drastically as he looked at the two young men holding the two children. It seemed that they had changed their appearance, no wonder they had sneaked into Xian'an City.
"Take action, don't hesitate, kill them!" Huangfu Xiong shouted loudly. This was the last thing he could do.
Huangfu Ming's hand holding the sword trembled, his expression was complicated, and he couldn't make a decision.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard at the gate of the mansion.
Huangfu Xin quickly dismounted and saw the situation in the yard as soon as he entered, "Grandfather!"
She looked at Jinzhi, anger surging in her eyes.
She turned out to be a traitor.
Before, she had rushed to the military camp in person, and Qi Yi and his troops arrived soon. They had no chance of leaving today.
"Xin'er, don't worry about grandpa. You must kill them. We can't let them return to the capital with the evidence of the Huangfu family's treason." Huangfu Xiong looked at her and said in a deep voice.
Huangfu Xin's expression changed drastically, and she looked at the man and woman holding the child.
Who are they?
He actually sneaked into Xian'an City.
"Grandfather..." Huangfu Xin hesitated a little. If her grandfather was in their hands, she would have ordered them to be killed without hesitation.
"Don't worry about me, just do it!" Huangfu Xiong ordered.
