"Apart from the secret passage that the master took us through, are there other secret passages in the palace?" Luo Yu asked, looking at the master in front of him, and said, "We only found two secret passages in the palace, and we don't know about the other ones in the palace."
What they knew was limited, but they looked everywhere, but found no clues.
Hearing this, Feng Jiu's eyes flickered slightly: "There is another secret passage. I think they must have gone through that secret passage." As soon as she finished speaking, she walked out.
The crowd behind her quickly followed her. Led by Feng Jiu, they came to the secret passage where Su Xi sent Xiao Feng Ye and Zhao Yang away that night, and found that the secret passage mechanism had been destroyed, and the stone door could no longer be opened and was completely sealed. They were more and more certain that they had left from here.
"Have someone open this place and search along this secret passage. Also, send another team to Tianlin City. If I'm not mistaken, they should be there."
"Okay, we'll go find it right away!" Luo Yu and others responded and quickly went their separate ways.
On the other side, in a human trafficking market in a city adjacent to the imperial city, slaves were locked in large iron cages.
The slaves here are big and small, old and young, male and female. They are all classified into three classes: upper, middle and lower, and locked in iron cages waiting to be sold. Except for some slaves who were sold by their masters, most of these slaves were captured.
Among them, children were the worst. In an iron cage inside, Zhao Yang and Xiao Fengye were also locked in. They sat against the cage, their faces were dirty, and their clothes could no longer be seen in their original state.
They escaped capture by the tall and thin man last time, but they could not escape being targeted by human traffickers later. Several human traffickers were lying in wait for them in the dark. They were unable to struggle and finally fell into their hands and were locked up here.
"Yangyang, what should we do?"
"It's okay, don't worry, I have a way." Zhao Yang whispered, said a few words in his ear, took out two small pills from his waist, and swallowed one each.
After about half an incense stick of time, the two men's bodies were covered with red spots, and they kept shouting, "Ah! It hurts so much, it hurts so much..." The two men rolled on the ground, crying and shouting.
"What's going on!" People outside came over to check and saw five or six children squatting on one side of the iron cage, and two people rolling on the ground on the other side, with red spots all over their skin.
"Why do these two little devils have red spots on their bodies?" the man holding the whip asked in confusion.
Another person said, "Why do those red spots look so much like smallpox? Could these two little devils have smallpox?" As he said that, he couldn't help but step back a few steps.
The man was also shocked when he heard what he said, and quickly stepped back: "Smallpox? If we infect those people, how are we going to explain to the people above us?"
"First, lock those two little devils up in the woodshed at the back, and then find a doctor to see if it's smallpox."
So, the two of them discussed it and called two other men who were doing odd jobs, pulled Yangyang and Xiao Fengye out of the iron cage, and took them directly to the woodshed at the back and locked them up.
The two were thrown into the woodshed and cried for a few times. After those people left, Zhao Yang stepped forward and helped Xiao Fengye up: "Get up, let's find a way to leave here."
