These people were taken aback and looked at Yang Xianmao, but they heard Yang Xianmao say that the beggar brother was a rebellion, which was a compliment, not that he rebelled and rioted, which showed that the young man who asked this seemed to have a good impression of the beggar brother, and it was no secret that he said the news, so the old man smiled and said: "Yes, we want to meet the leader, but I don't know if the government is willing to let us meet him?" We have gone so far away, and if we refuse to see him, we will have to wait for the prisoner's van to pass by on the side of the road outside the city, and we will drink a glass of soul-breaking wine with him. ”

Yang Xianmao's heart couldn't help but sink, he immediately thought of Jima, and he didn't know if Jima was also arrested. If the army of the imperial court encircles and suppresses it, I am afraid that it will not let Jima and the other villagers go, and Jima is so young and beautiful.

Yang Xianmao asked anxiously: "Then apart from the beggar brother, is there anyone else who has been caught by the government?" ”

"Yes, there are many people, men and women, I am afraid that there are dozens of people, saying that they are all rebels, and they will all be brought to the capital, either beheaded or hanged, these officers and soldiers do not treat us as human beings, if they are not bullied ruthlessly, how can they rise up to rebel. ”

When Yang Xianmao heard that there were men and women who were arrested, he couldn't help but feel even more heartbroken, and wanted to ask if there was Jima, but it seemed unlikely that these old people would know, because this place was hundreds of miles away from the tribe where the beggar brother and they were, although this area was deep in the mountains, but obviously it should not be from the village where the beggar brother was located.

Regardless of whether Jima is in the county or not, he has to go and see, if there is really Jima, find a way to rescue her, if there is no Jima, the beggar brother will not let himself kill the official and rebel to save him, but it is also feasible to find a way to meet and give him a glass of wine to show his heart, thinking of this, he said goodbye to a few old people, and continued to go down the mountain with Liu Dongyan.

Liu Dongyan had already heard what Yang Xianmao said before. After walking out of the road, he looked back and saw that it was already far away, so he asked Liu Yang Xianmao and said, "Young master, are you going to see the beggar brother, are you worried that Miss Jima is also inside?"

Yang Xianmao admired his girl's cleverness, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm worried that Jima was also arrested by them, if that's the case, I'm trying to find a way to save him, he is my woman after all." ”

Liu Dongyan was anxious, grabbed his arm and said: "Young master, you and her are just a dewy couple, and they have only been together for more than ten days, so why should you risk your life for her? You know, if they rebel against the imperial court, they must be heavily guarded, and you want to go to the prison to rescue her? I'm afraid that if you don't save yourself, you just said that there is likely to be a very terrible plague in this city, since this is the case, even if you can save her, can you guarantee that you will not be infected by the plague?"

Yang Xianmao looked at her and said slowly: "Of course I'm worried, so don't go into the city when you get to the bottom of the city, find a place on the mountain and wait for me, I'll go in and find out." If she is caught, I will definitely find a way to save her tonight. If not, I'll find a way to meet the beggar and see him off. I'll come out to you when I'm done. Don't worry, if you don't let me see or if the precautions are very strict, I won't be willing to risk my life to do such a thing. ”

Hearing Yang Xianmao's words, Liu Dongyan pouted and said, "Young master, you obviously know that I will go wherever you go, and I will never leave you, you still say such things." ”

Yang Xianmao knew that her girl was loyal, and she would not shirk when she went to the soup, she said it from her heart, so she stretched out her hand and twisted her face, and said: "You little girl, since this is the case, then let's go into the city together, but judging from what we saw on the road, the city should not have broken out of the plague yet, but it is still the same sentence, when we enter the city, we must find a secluded place away from the crowd, try not to contact anyone, do not eat and drink, and must be in good spirits, this is not a joke." ”

Liu Dongyan naturally agreed, and the two of them accelerated their pace and almost trotted down the mountain. Soon after the sun set, they reached the city gatehouse.

Sanxiao County is a small county town deep in the mountains, because it is not a traffic artery, and there is no large group of bandits, and the beggar brother was arrested, and he was only escorted through here, there has been no war in this area for decades, or a large number of bandits robbing homes and other things, so the city defense is relatively relaxed, and the city gate is not closed at night or the suspension bridge is not placed, and the suspension bridge is pulled, and they enter the city smoothly.

After entering the city, there are really a lot of people in the city, although it is now dark, but there are still a lot of pedestrians, many of them are nearby farmers wearing coarse cloth shirts, leggings and straw sandals, Yang Xianmao took Liu Dongyan to avoid these people and walked straight to the alley, he found a passerby to ask the direction of the yamen, and then took Liu Dongyan to the outside of the yamen.

When I arrived here, I saw that the yamen was really heavily guarded, in addition to those who carried waist knives, there were soldiers wearing armor and carrying bows and arrows and holding spears and broadswords, a group of ten people, forming a patrol team, patrolling around the county yamen, at a glance, it was definitely not the yamen itself that was on guard, and no county yamen would let the soldiers come to guard, unless there were people who needed soldiers to come and detain them, that is, rebel leaders.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xianmao was immediately sure that what the old men in the pergola said should be true, and now he needed to make it clear whether there were any people in this group besides the beggar brother.

Yang Xianmao did not inquire outside the yamen, because it was futile, this kind of detention of rebels is definitely the most heavily guarded, but also the highest degree of secrecy, it is impossible to easily let anyone contact or know, so the news will not spread to the street, only people in the circle can find out, so Yang Xianmao decided to visit the yamen at night.

Yang Xianmao took Liu Dongyan around the periphery of the entire yamen, and found the highest house, he took advantage of the night to look around, there was no one, and then hit the zipline, grabbed Liu Dongyan with his hand, floated up to the roof, put Liu Dongyan on the top of the eaves, pointed to the brightly lit yamen and said: " I'll go in and see, you just don't walk around here, don't leave, or I won't find you, and there's probably a plague epidemic in this city, so don't come into contact with anyone, it should be safer here. Don't worry, I'll go find out, and I won't do anything with them. ”

Liu Dongyan nodded and said, "Young master, you can promise me, you can't do anything, you have to talk about it." ”

"Don't worry, as long as I'm not exposed and surrounded by them, I won't do it easily, no matter who it is. ”

Let's say, Yang Xianmao floated down the roof with a flying cable, and then took advantage of the gap between the two patrols to quickly come to the wall, and the flying rope climbed over the wall, and at the moment of jumping into the inner wall, he glanced at the roof where Liu Dongyan was, and then jumped off the high wall, and quickly disappeared into the yamen.

The layout of the yamen is almost the same, Yang Xianmao knows the yamen too well, as soon as he comes in, he knows what this yamen is like, which places are the prisons he is looking for, he quickly avoided the patrolling soldiers and approached the prison of the yamen, and when he arrived here, Yang Xianmao can be sure that this is the most heavily defended place, and it is also the place where he needs to be cautious the most.

He didn't take the risk, that's a fool to do this, he must find a servant first, and then after hearing the news clearly, especially after finding out whether there is Jima or not, it is not too late to decide, so Yang Xianmao immediately squatted at the exit of the prison, he kept an eye on the gate of the prison at any time in a corner, but the gate was locked, and there was a team of heavily armed armor on duty at the door, no one entered or exited, and it seemed to be heavily guarded.

Yang Xianmao wanted to wait for someone to come in and out of it, and then force a confession after being caught in a secluded place, but now it seems that it is futile to wait any longer. He rolled his eyes and decided to grab an official to ask.

He took out a black scarf from his arms and covered his face, the clothes he wore were the most ordinary coarse cloth shirts, with no features, and his head was also tied in a very common bun, as long as he covered his face, the other party basically couldn't recognize who he was.

He decided to arrest the magistrate of the Yamen, only the magistrate had the situation of the escort, and the Qin prisoner was imprisoned in the Yamen prison, but the heavily guarded prison was mainly the prison, and he would not focus on the Zhi County, and he might even transfer the guards of the Zhi County to defend the Qin prisoner, in their opinion, no one would attack the Zhi County, because there were already a team of soldiers on the periphery to surround the entire Yamen, and from this point of view, there was no need to strengthen the defense of the Yamen Zhi County alone.

……………………

Liu Zhixian and his wife fell asleep after making love.

In the middle of the night, he had a dream, dreaming that he fell into a river, but the river suddenly froze, and suddenly froze his whole body, and he couldn't move anymore, but his head was awake, until he woke up, and now his body really couldn't move, but there was a person next to him who looked at him coldly, the lights in the room had been extinguished, and only the moonlight from outside could clearly shine on his own face, but the other party's face was hidden in the dark, and only a general body outline could be seen.

The man said in a low voice: "Now I have a few questions for you, if you don't want to die, answer honestly, don't think." ”

Liu Zhixian was so frightened that his soul was scattered, his eyes rolled, and now he was still in his bedroom, but the door was closed, and the window was closed, but he was lying on the ground under the window, and the person had his back to the window, so his face was dark, and he heard his voice hoarse and low, as if he had deliberately changed his voice, and then he felt something tighten on his neck, and he realized that the person was strangled by a thin rope, holding it with both hands, as long as he shouted or did something inappropriate, the person would definitely pull the rope tightly, and cut off his voice, including breathing and the flow of blood。

Liu Zhixian suddenly felt the horror of death, which he had never felt before, or had not felt so truly. In fact, he was unable to resist, because his whole body seemed to be frozen in ice, and although his hands and feet were free, he could not move.
