Chapter 425: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole

After the people transferred from several other places met with the people from one place, Ning Chen took them to a room.

"This mission is very serious. No one is allowed to leave this room from now until the night before the operation."

"Lao Gao, Lao Chen, you two are responsible for supervision...if someone wants to go to the toilet, one of you must follow him."

Ning Chen said in a deep voice.

Gao Ziping and Chen Chong took the orders.

Ning Chen left the Supervision Department and came back two hours later.

Geng Jing also returned from the palace.

"What are you going to do when you gather your people?"

In the room, Geng Jing asked curiously.

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Save Lao Pan and Lao Feng."

Geng Jing couldn't help but stand up, "Is there any news about them?"

Ning Chen shook his head.

Geng Jing frowned, "Then...what are you doing? Mysterious?"

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Ling the snake out of the hole, but I'm not sure yet whether it can succeed? When it succeeds, I will explain it to you slowly."

...

In a secret room of a house.

The right prime minister and a fat young man, the fifth prince, sat across from each other.

"Did the Supervision Department discover that Pan Yucheng and Feng Qi were upright?"

The right minister looked shocked.

The fifth prince frowned and said, "Don't worry, I think this is weird."

The right minister hurriedly asked: "What do you mean?"

The fifth prince narrowed his eyes, "I always feel that Ning Chen seems to have discovered that I am pretending?"

The right prime minister was shocked and his face changed drastically, "This...are you exposed?"

The fifth prince shook his head, "I consider myself to be a good disguiser. In the past ten years, except for you, no one knows that I am pretending to be stupid."

"But Ning Chen always gives me the feeling that he seems to have discovered that I am pretending... I wonder if I am too worried?"

The right minister said hurriedly: "Did he say anything?"

"That's not true, it's just a feeling."

The fifth prince paused and continued: "I got the news about Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizheng being discovered from Ning Chen."

The Prime Minister's face was full of astonishment, "He told you on his own initiative?"

The fifth prince shook his head, "That's not true! He seemed to blurt out because I pushed him into a hurry."

The right minister said hurriedly: "Could it be that he told you on purpose?"

The fifth prince nodded, "I also have some doubts. I am worried that Ning Chen discovered that I was pretending and told me deliberately... If we send people to check, or transfer Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizheng, they will be killed by his people. Keep an eye on it.”

The right minister said: "Then we will stand still."

The fifth prince hesitated for a while and said, "But I'm worried that what Ning Chen said is true, because it seems that Geng Jing told him this matter."

"You and I know the capabilities of the Supervision Department well... If Geng Jing really finds out where Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizheng are hiding, we will lose two very important trump cards in vain."

Both of them fell silent, hesitant, wondering whether they should make a move?

At this moment, the copper bell hanging on the stone wall rang.

There is a wire tied to the copper bell that leads to the secret room.

If someone outside is in a hurry, they can pull the wire on the bell, and the bell inside will ring.

Of course, only the confidants of the fifth prince knew about this thread.

"Wait me a moment!"

The fifth prince stood up and walked over to open the mechanism on the stone door of the secret room.

The stone door slowly opened.

A well-dressed, muscular man stood outside.

This man's name is Zhu Ku, he is the fifth prince's confidant and one of his personal guards.

"What's up?"

Zhu Ku handed over a small bamboo tube and said, "Sir, I just received a secret report."

The fifth prince opened the bamboo tube and poured out a small rolled up note. When he opened it, his expression changed slightly.

"You wait for me here."

After the fifth prince finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the secret room.

He handed the note to the right minister and said, "This came from our people in the Inspectorate."

The right minister took it and looked at it, and it read: Ning Chen will dispatch people from all over the place, the task will be kept secret, and there will be a big move.

The right minister frowned, "Deploying manpower, keeping the mission secret, making big moves...Did they really find out where Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizheng were hiding?"

The fifth prince said solemnly: "I think so too... Ning Chen has a close relationship with Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizheng. If it were an ordinary mission, it would be impossible to gather all the Yin Yis."

The right minister said: "Then what should we do now? Should we move or not stay still?"

The fifth prince was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "You have to move, Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizheng are sharp weapons against Ning Chen, there is no room for failure."

"However, the people around you and me cannot move. It is easy to be targeted... I will send someone to send a message to the people in Dark Moon Tower. It is up to them to move the people before Ning Chen."

The Prime Minister thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

After a while, two pigeons flew out of the house.

Finally, the pigeon landed in the backyard of an inn.

An ordinary-looking woman who was starching clothes stood up and wiped her hands on her body. She walked over and grabbed the pigeon, took off the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg, poured out the letter and took a look at it.

Not long after, the woman and a dark-skinned, honest-looking middle-aged man left the back door of the inn with a carriage carrying goods.

The two of them were like an ordinary couple on a long journey, setting up a carriage and leaving the city.

Along the way, the two seemed to be chatting.

In fact, he was scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

At this time, the sky is getting dark!

The two actually drove a carriage to the mass grave.

They stopped, as if to rest, but in fact they were observing the surroundings.

To make sure there were no ambushes around.

The two jumped off the carriage, took their tools, and ran towards the center of the mass grave.

When they reached a tree, they stopped.

They looked around, then pulled away the withered weeds and pulled out two bamboo tubes as thick as a child's arm from the ground.

Then, the two began to dig.

Not long after, they actually dug out two large boxes from the ground.

When one of the boxes was opened, a foul smell hit them in the face.

There was a man inside, tied up with iron chains. Although he was listless, he was still alive.

This man was none other than Pan Yucheng.

Pan Yucheng was also awake, his eyes were almost bulging with fire.

It was a great shame.

He was a golden-robed official in the Supervisory Department, but he was treated like this. This made him tear his eyes and feel ashamed and angry.

In this narrow box, they couldn't even stretch their legs, so they could only curl up into a ball. There was a hole on the top of the box, connected by a bamboo tube, and the other end of the bamboo tube was hidden in the grass to ensure that they would not suffocate to death.

Every three days, someone would take advantage of the night to send them some food and drink, but it could only barely ensure that they would not die.

But in the past few days, he ate, drank, defecated and urinated in this box, and he was about to collapse.

"Who are you?"

Pan Yucheng roared, his voice was hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was filled with hatred.

The middle-aged man who looked honest and simple had a grim smile on his face. He was about to speak, but suddenly his face changed and he retreated like lightning.

Whoosh! ! !

An arrow came through the air, almost brushing his face, and nailed to the tree next to him.
