Chapter 171

Shangguan Yuanrang looked at Tang Yin and said: "The opponent only has ten officers and soldiers. If you want to save people, it is just a matter of effort."

Ten ordinary officers and soldiers, more than thirty of them could easily kill these ten people without even making a sound.

Tang Yin put down his chopsticks, looked squarely at Shangguan Yuanrang, and asked: "We can indeed save these two people now, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are thousands of people like them who have been wronged. Can we all save them?" ?”

"It's okay if you can't see it. Since you can see it..."

Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Saving people is only a symptom, not a root cause. If you want to prevent this from happening again, you have to get rid of Zhong Tian. Now if we expose our identity just to save two people, then it is not a rescue." He is killing people, but he is harming people, and he is harming more innocent people."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yuanrang lowered his head thoughtfully and remained silent.

Tang Yin looked at him deeply, said nothing, and continued eating.

After everyone had finished eating, Shangguan Yuanrang choked out: "What you said makes sense."

Tang Yin almost laughed out loud. Shangguan Yuanrang is a Lingwu prodigy, but he is both stubborn and rigid. He has to think about something for a long time before he can figure it out. This kind of person will not have many friends no matter in modern times or in ancient times. In reality, Shangguan Yuan Rang did not have many friends, but Tang Yin liked Shangguan Yuan Rang's personality very much. The more rigid a person was, the more loyal he would be after being tamed, and he would not betray even until death.

Two days later, Tang Yin and his group entered the boundaries of Yancheng without any danger.

Compared with Lehu County, Yancheng is relatively peaceful, but there are too many troops stationed outside the city. Flags are fluttering, and the companies and camps are endless. It is not clear where the Feng Army's camp is and where is the Ning Army's camp. While walking on the official road, I saw a group of people standing on the roadside in front of me from a distance. The leader was none other than Lu Fang.

There was also a big man standing next to Lu Fang. This man was in his early thirties, with a full beard and a tall and strong build. At a glance, people knew he was a Lianjiazi. As for the others, most of them were dressed as servants, with Lotte and Ai Jia's subordinates also mixed in among them.

When Tang Yin and others approached Lu Fang, the latter recognized them, his face suddenly showed joy, and he hurried forward. After seeing Tang Yin, he bowed deeply and whispered: "Sir, what are you doing? Coming?" Through the spies from the Sky Eye and the Earthly Network, he already knew the news of Tang Yin's arrival, but he felt that as a county guard, it would be too dangerous for Tang Yin to come to Yancheng in person.

Tang Yin smiled at him immediately and said, "Because of my coming, this operation can only succeed and cannot fail."

"Understood! Sir!" Lu Fang nodded, then waved to the ferocious-looking man behind him, and introduced Tang Yin: "Sir, this is my friend, Yue Zijie!"

Tang Yin looked at the big man with a smile. The latter saluted first and said respectfully: "I have met Mr. Tang." As he spoke, he looked around cautiously and said: "This is not a place for conversation, sir. You can come to my house to rest temporarily."

"good!"

The home Yue Zijie is talking about is not a home located in Yancheng, but a house located outside Yancheng. With him and Lu Fang leading the way, Tang Yin and others arrived at Yue Zijie's house outside the city. It can be seen that this person has a lot of wealth. He made a lot of money when he was a bandit. Even the house outside the city that he does not usually live in is very grand.

Invite Tang Yin into the main hall, and then let him sit at the head of the table. Yue Zijie sat at the side, cupped his hands to Tang Yin and said: "I have admired Mr. Tang for a long time. Brother Lu even wrote me a letter before, asking me to come forward." I’m going to seek refuge, but my family is in Yancheng, so I really can’t leave!”

Lu Fang snorted angrily and said, "It's not that you can't leave, it's that you can't bear to part with your family property!"

Yue Zijie's face turned red at what he said, and he rubbed his hands and laughed.

Tang Yin could tell that he and Lu Fang had a good relationship.

He asked: "How did Brother Yue and Brother Lu know each other?"

Mentioning this, Yue Zijie's face turned redder and he said sheepishly: "You must also know what I used to do. Once when I was doing business, I encountered a tough guy. If Brother Lu hadn't happened to pass by, he saved my life. , I’m afraid I won’t survive now.”

"So that's it." Tang Yin nodded, then changed the topic and cut to the point, asking: "Do you have a tunnel that can lead to Yancheng City?" As he spoke, he looked directly at Yue Zijie, his eyes flashing with a faint light.

Yue Zijie's heart froze when he saw him, and he secretly exclaimed at his sharp eyes. This county guard was no ordinary person! He swallowed, nodded, and said, "Yes, sir, I dug a tunnel privately in my own home that leads to the outside of the city."

"Where's the exit?"

"Right here." Yue Zijie answered truthfully.

"This?" Tang Yin was startled.

Yue Zijie explained: "A large part of the reason why the villain built his house here is that the villain's tunnel happened to be dug here and he built the house in order to hide it from others."

Tang Yin said oh, and then became happy. This Yue Zijie is quite smart.

He picked up the teacup, sniffed it casually, then took a slow sip, and asked casually: "If you are willing to help me this time, aren't you afraid that Zhong Tian will find out and punish you?"

Tang Yin was of course not just asking casually, but was testing Yue Zijie.

Yue Zijie was a bandit and was very smart. How could he not hear what Tang Yin meant? He hurriedly said seriously: "Since the villain dares to agree to Brother Lu's help, he is already mentally prepared and will wait until the matter is accomplished." Afterwards, the villain is not planning to stay in Yancheng anymore, and will go to Tianyuan County with the adults. By the way, the villain's family is now on the way to Tianyuan County and is being escorted by the adults' subordinates." What he said Tang Yin's subordinates are the secret agents of Tianyan and Diwang.

Hearing this, Tang Yin looked calmly at Letian and Ai Jia's subordinates. He was relieved when the latter nodded to indicate that what Yue Zijie said was true.

Yue Zijie was very smart in doing this. He first sent his family to Tianyuan County, firstly to avoid the trouble, and secondly to dispel Tang Yin's wariness. He was equivalent to sending his family as hostage to Tang Yin to prove that he had no evil intentions. Otherwise, after he told Tang Yin about the tunnel, the latter would probably kill him or even silence his entire family in order to avoid future trouble.

His caution was not unreasonable, and Tang Yin was indeed capable of such a thing.

After receiving the confirmation from his subordinates, Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said: "It's okay. I don't know what kind of chaos Yancheng will be in the future. Send your family to Tianyuan County to hide for a while, at least your life will be safe. If this can be successful, I will reward you heavily, and I will not forget your contribution when I fight back to Yancheng in the future."

"Oh, thank you, sir!" Yue Zijie stood up quickly and bowed to the ground.

Tang Yin looked at Yue Zijie, who looked rough but was actually as considerate as silk, and nodded with a smile.

Yue Zijie's tunnel is very secretive. The exit outside the city is located under the stove in the kitchen of the house. It is hidden in this place, even if the officers and soldiers come to search, it will be difficult to find it.

Led by Yue Zijie, Tang Yin and others entered the tunnel one after another.

The tunnel was bottomy and narrow, and only one person could walk along it. It was pitch dark inside, with no light at all. Fortunately, everyone had their torches ready.

"Sir, the tunnel is wet. Watch your step and be careful not to slip." Yue Zijie walked in front, leading the way to remind Tang Yin behind him.

When he turned back to look at Tang Yin, he was startled. Due to the darkness, he couldn't see Tang Yin's facial features clearly, but then he saw his pair of green night eyes that shone strangely. If he hadn't confirmed that he was a human, He almost suspected that he had seen a ghost.

Yue Lingling shivered, and Yue Zijie quickly turned his head back and secretly stuck out his tongue.

When we were halfway through the journey, the tunnel became even more humid, and water began to seep from it. The dripping rain covered our faces and bodies, making us feel even more uncomfortable. Yue Zijie explained: "There is a moat above this, so there will be water seepage. It will be fine after passing this section."

Tang Yin didn't answer, but he was secretly surprised. Although the tunnel was dug crudely, it could cross the moat. It could be seen that it went deep into the ground. It was considered a big project. However, no one discovered such a big project. He didn't know what to do. To say that Yue Zijie is very capable, we should say that he is lucky.

After walking in the tunnel for more than half an hour, we finally reached the exit.

When people came out of the tunnel, their eyes suddenly lit up. This was Yue Zijie's bedroom in the city's house, and the tunnel entrance was under the bed.

Yue Zijie looked at Tang Yin with a smile and said, "Sir, this is my house in the city!"

The tunnel is so wonderful. Just now, everyone was outside the city, but in the blink of an eye, they all entered the city, as if they had traveled through time and space.

Yue Zijie's family members have all left, and the servants have also dispersed. Except for his close servants, there is no one else, and the huge house seems empty.

Everyone gathered in Yue Zijie's bedroom, and Tang Yin asked: "Are the members of the Liang, Wu, and Ziyang families still being imprisoned in Zhongtian Mansion?"

"Yes, sir!" Lotte's eyeliner nodded.

"Do you have a map of Zhong Mansion?"

"Only draw the outer perimeter, because the defense is too tight, we can't blend in, and we can't clearly detect the structure inside." Ai Jia's subordinates took out the sketch from their arms and handed it to Tang Yin respectfully.

Tang Yin took it, unfolded it, and immediately shook his head. The map was too general, with only a general structure and no details. He said thoughtfully: "Before we take action, we must master the details of Zhong Mansion. Detailed terrain, otherwise, if you don’t even know where to go to rescue people, how can you make corresponding arrangements?!”

"Sir, let's go find out more!" The spies from Tianyan and Diwang said in unison.

I'm afraid if I continue to inquire, I may not be able to find out any important information. Tang Yin rolled his eyes, waved his hand and said, "No, I'll find someone to help after dark."
