In fact, when Sun Tu heard someone mention the story decades ago that even Bao Zheng failed to succeed in, Sun Tu felt that there was something weird about it. The Worry-free Cave located under the city of Tokyo was really too strange. Whether this underground network was set up by the Song Dynasty court or earlier, it couldn't be to facilitate those criminal thieves to hide and escape.
After some on-site inspections later, Sun Tu finally saw the clue and concluded that in addition to discharging sewage, they also had the magical effect of reducing the flood pressure of the Bianhe River in the city. It was only because the city of Tokyo did not encounter any floods in the next hundred years that it was not allowed to be used.
So when he had to deal with Pink Yanzi's group this time, he thought of using this trick. First, force them to go back to the old path many years ago with great fanfare, run underground, and then pour water from the Bian River, which is already overflowing this year, into it. Then, without spending much force, this dark force that has been causing trouble in the city for many years can be defeated. It was completely wiped out.
Now, as the winch that has been maintained and repaired every year drives the gate to open, the turbid Bianhe River water, which has been overfilled and only blocked by the embankments on both sides, finally has an outlet to vent. Suddenly, the water flows like a head running free. The people who came out rushed toward those gates like galloping horses, and went all the way down along the route that had been designed long ago.
In just a short moment, the river water that had almost reached the top of the embankment had already become a lot shallower, and it was still going down at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. Zhao Yan and others were stunned for a while, and at the same time I felt a little uneasy, wondering what kind of impact this sudden influx of water would have on the entire city of Tokyo.
In fact, they don't need to be so nervous. The predecessors had already given full consideration when designing this underground network of ditches. How could an underground space that is half the size of Tokyo not be able to accommodate this small amount of river water? Of course, this sudden river water has become a disaster for some people who are now hiding underground!

After they separated and escaped from the entrance of the culvert into the ground, the gangs of these Pink Swallows at all levels quickly gathered together in accordance with the previous agreement. Although the hasty escape seemed embarrassing, these people were not too discouraged, especially when they saw that even the third master, eighth master and other leaders were present, they were even more confident.
"This time I was just caught off guard by the government. I didn't expect that a small Kaifeng capital would dare to arrest people all over the city at all costs. But don't worry, after this period of time, we will have a way to arrest those people." Once Sun Tu is over, everyone can return to the top again."
"You don't have to worry about food and drink here. We have people delivering food and water every night. It's not difficult to stay here for a month or two."
The more than 300 Pink Swallows here cheered. Although the air here is a bit bad and there is still a lot of dirt around, it is much better to hide here than to stay up there and risk being caught by the government.
Just as these people found a place to sit down and rest, waiting for it to get dark, there was suddenly a splash of water outside. When everyone looked curiously towards the dark ditch ahead, they only saw Some water is rushing towards this side.
"What is this? Why did the river water suddenly pour in?" Many people were confused and couldn't help but exchange opinions with each other.
Sounds like it.
"It has been raining for months and months recently, and the water in the Bianhe River has already been full. Maybe some water has flowed in from the gate."
Just when they thought it was just a trivial matter, the sound of rushing water in front of them became louder and louder, and at the same time, the force of the water that kept coming in became stronger. In just a moment, the water in the ditch and corridor where everyone gathered was already deep. It was above the knees, and the river was still rushing towards them.
"No, it's the officers and soldiers who diverted the water in!" At this time, the more agile Third Master quickly understood and shouted: "Quick, everyone go to higher ground, otherwise this place will be flooded by the river water!"
Upon hearing this, the more than 300 people panicked, got up quickly, scrambled to follow the leaders, waded into the water, and ran forward along the ditch.
Originally, these people were crowded together in a disorderly manner, but now everyone was fighting for their lives, and the corridor was even more crowded. The people behind them immediately knocked the people in front of them off their feet, and at the same time, there was also the person holding a gun. The person leading the way was also knocked down and fell into the water, and the torch was extinguished.
This made the whole scene in the corridor become more and more chaotic. Many people screamed and moved forward with all their strength. They didn't even care about their companions under their feet and just stepped on them. The person who was stepped into the water naturally had to struggle hard to survive, so he reached out to hug the person who fell on top, and suddenly he fell down and screamed again and again.
"Don't lose sight of yourself, just lean on the wall and feel your way forward!" Master Ba was almost dragged into the water. He just kicked one of the gang members away and started shouting loudly again. But in this noisy and echoing underground environment, his words could not reach the ears of many people at all. Everyone still squeezed forward as hard as they could, as if there was some ferocious and terrifying beast behind them. Close to normal.
In fact, the power of the rolling turbid river water is really not inferior to that of ferocious beasts. While these people are entangled, the underground river water has gradually risen. At this time, it has reached the thighs of everyone, and the water flow has also become It became more and more turbulent, causing many people to stagger around. It was difficult to even stand still, let alone run away from this low-lying place.
The government is really ruthless. This is to flood them with water and completely trap themselves and others in the Wuyou Cave... The third master secretly complained in his heart. They had thought that Kaifeng Mansion would send officials to chase them down, and even I thought that a large number of officers and soldiers would come to pursue and suppress them, and I also made plans and preparations, but I didn't expect that the government would come to do this. This was obviously a plan to wipe out the family. Faced with such a force of nature, he could do nothing but keep shouting and let people follow the team and walk higher by touching the wall in order to find a high ground to avoid the flood.
But before they could get far, another large stream of water suddenly hit them from the side. It actually formed a flanking attack with the continuously rushing river behind them, blocking both their front and rear paths. . It turns out that the officers and soldiers of the Subdistrict Department followed orders and acted in sequence. They opened the gate first in the upstream section and found that the river fruit was actually falling. When the officials there saw that it was indeed effective, they didn't care about anything else, and immediately ordered the gates to be opened and the water released.
It just so happened that these pink swallow thieves also walked downstream from the upper reaches, so they were blocked by the river water released from the middle reaches.
Right on. Amidst the screams of these people, the river water in the corridor closed up on both sides and rose rapidly, completely engulfing the culvert and the people behind who were still struggling under the water.
In an instant, screams and exclamations could be heard endlessly. Those who had already lost their strength or were not familiar with the water were already at the end of their strength. When they were washed away by the water from the side, many of them were rushed away. He was so far away that he couldn't even call for help.
At this time, everyone else was unable to protect themselves and could not save anyone at all. They could only paddle desperately towards the shallower part of the water on the other side, where waist-deep water flowed, regardless of whether it was high or low. I just wanted to escape.
But as a result, these hundreds of people quickly disintegrated. Some of the cool-headed ones were still following the third and eighth masters, while the others couldn't even tell the direction and were completely trapped in the underground culvert filled with river water...
And the remaining dozens of people who followed the three masters and eight masters and swam towards the nearest gate were also in a very dangerous situation. You must know that due to the narrow terrain, the water flow here is more rapid than in the river. Generally, those who are good swimmers can only barely protect themselves, while some who are somewhat proficient in water can only rely on the help of others. However, as the water gets stronger and stronger, a strong wave can often sweep away several people. Others can only watch their companions being swallowed up and disappeared by this demonic flood.
But even in such an unfavorable situation, the third master and the eighth master still struggled to hold on. Relying on their familiarity with the underground network of underground channels, they actually led the remaining men to a high point after a struggle. Although the river here is still not shallow, at least they can ensure safety and swim along the river towards the nearest gate.
When they arrived at the gate, only a dozen or so of the original three hundred people were left, and all of them were covered in water and shivering, just like water ghosts in the river. You must know that it is late autumn now, and the sun has not risen for nearly a month. It is a bit chilly to walk on the street, let alone soak in the water for a long time.
Everyone didn't feel anything when they were in danger just now. Now that the exit is in sight, many people are so cold that they are bending over their arms and their teeth are starting to chatter. But even so, the third master, whose lower body was still soaked in the water, had no intention of getting out immediately. He only reached out and groped under the water for a while, took out a piece of gravel and threw it out of the gate.
Everyone immediately understood that he was testing the movement outside, and there might be officers and soldiers ambushing him. But after the stones were thrown and silence finally fell, it was still quiet outside, which made others finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At that moment, under the leadership of Mr. San and Mr. Ba, they struggled to pull out the body that was already stiff from the cold, carefully got out of the gate that was half a person high, and then struggled to climb the stone railing of Hongqiao and pulled it out. It took all the effort to suck the milk before I was able to get back to the ground.
But just when they landed on the shore, before they had time to clearly see where they were, and before they let out a few sighs of relief, a whistle suddenly sounded from the side, followed by two puffs, and torches were all around them. They lit up one after another, making the eyes of more than twenty people dim.
After they covered their eyes with their hands and adapted to the sudden light, they realized in despair that they and others had been surrounded by hundreds of officers and soldiers...
