Early the next morning, Gao Ye said goodbye and returned to Jingzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qiu Yinming asked him to bring a message, saying that he would go to Jingzhou Mansion to inspect soon, and he would definitely visit Qi Mutian at that time.

As soon as Gao Ye came out of the back door, Steward Chai ran in in a hurry, and before he could stand firmly, he said, "My lord, I inquired." Last night, Chen Baisheng, the owner of Feihu Village, came to rob the prison, but was ambushed and arrested in prison. ”

"Huh?" This was beyond Qiu Yinming's expectations. "How can there be an ambush? Did the government know that he would come? ”

"Oh, when I bought breakfast just now, I vaguely heard someone saying that someone unveiled a notice offering a reward for the capture of Chen Baisheng a few days ago, and then after entering the watch last night, there were many government troops ambushing around the government office, and the idle people were all dispersed."

Qiu Yinming quickly thought in his mind, someone reported it, I don't know if there is a traitor in the Flying Tiger Village. This is tricky, I was thinking about how to save Qiao San, but now even Chen Baisheng is in prison. Preparing to leave for Jingzhou in two days, it seems that it is best to find a way to save people in these two days. But now that the prefect's prison is probably heavily guarded, it may be difficult to go alone. Sitting in the study, thinking about it, I couldn't make up my mind.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly Steward Chai hurried in again and said, "My lord, my lord." Gao Gongzi is back. ”

Qiu Yinming hurriedly got up and went out, only to see Gao Ye coming in through the back door, followed by a little girl.

Gao Ye stepped forward and said, "My lord, I'm sorry. I'm bothering you again. This...... I passed by the government just now, and I saw her scolding the government at the door, and she was beaten, and she couldn't persuade her, so I had to ask you for a favor. After that, he looked at Qiu Yinming with some embarrassment.

Qiu Yinming looked at the little girl, who was eleven or twelve years old, her two hair buns were messy, her body was thin, there were pockmarks left by smallpox on her face, her eyes were wide, and she looked left and right. So he said to the chai housekeeper, "You take her at the door for a while." Mr. Gao, please come into the house and say. ”

Entering the study and sitting down, Gao Ye said: "Just now she stood in front of the yamen, and kept saying that the owner of Feihu Village is a good person, and the yamen does not distinguish between black and white, and it is better to grasp people indiscriminately than robbers." The scolding was so loud that it attracted many onlookers. At first, the messenger at the gate looked at her as a child and wanted to blow her away. Who knows, this little girl has also learned some kung fu, and she insists on playing the drums and fighting with the errand officer, but she can't beat the adult. I saw that she was pitiful, so I pulled her out. I tried to persuade her, but she refused to listen. I guess she probably had some grievances, so I brought them to meet the adults. ”

As soon as Qiu Yinming heard the three words of Feihu Village, his heart moved, what is the origin of this little girl, so he said: "That's it, I'll call her in and ask again." Since you're here, let's have a cup of tea and go. ”

Asked Chai Ban to bring the little girl into the study, Qiu Yinming asked in a harmonious voice, "What is your relationship with Flying Tiger Village?" ”

The little girl glanced at him and said angrily, "Who are you?" They called you just now, are you an official? ”

Qiu Yinming said: "I am friends with the two owners of Flying Tiger Village. Knowing that they were arrested by the prefect, he wanted to save them. ”

"I don't think you're a good person." The little girl said, "You lied to me." Auntie and grandmother are not so easy to deceive. ”

Qiu Yinming smiled: "Okay." I kid you not. I'm an official, and I'm older than the prefect. is indeed a friend of the owner of the village. Tell me who you are and I'll help you. ”

The little girl's eyes flickered, she thought for a moment, and said, "It's not a big deal to tell you." My surname is Chen, and my name is Chen Xiaoyu. The owner of Flying Tiger Village is my father. ”

Qiu Yinming suddenly had a thought in his heart, and said to Chen Xiaoyu: "Your father is a good person, I will definitely help you save him." Well, I see you're tired and hungry, so I'll ask someone to make you something to eat, okay? ”

Chen Xiaoyu nodded in disbelief. Qiu Yinming instructed Steward Chai to take her out without mentioning it.

Gao Ye looked at it from the side, and then said, "Master Qiu, do you really know the head of the Flying Tiger Village?" Who are they? ”

Qiu Yinming nodded and said, "It's a long story. The owner of Chen Zhai of Flying Tiger Village is a local green forest hero, who has been fighting against corrupt officials and bullies, and I have a relationship with him a few days ago. The owner of the second village is also an old acquaintance in the rivers and lakes in the past. The purpose of my current inspection of Huguang is to explore the source of the collusion between officials and gangsters here and eliminate harm for the people. When encountering these heroes in distress, how can they not be saved. Mr. Gao, I have a reluctant request. ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"I want to go to Wuchang Mansion to rob the prison. But I'm afraid that one person will not be able to do it. So I want to ask Gao Gongzi to help. ”

Gao Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "Originally, I didn't want to help you. However, for Mr. Qi's sake, I'll help you this time. ”

However, it was said that Governor Liu knew that Qiu Yinming was going to leave for Jingzhou two days later, and had already sent a letter the day before yesterday, asking him to go to the mansion for a banquet at noon the day before departure. Qiu Yinming discussed with Gao Ye, and just took this opportunity to inquire about the prisoner's detention situation with Governor Liu's mansion, and then took the opportunity to act. So, he arranged for the Chai housekeeper to temporarily place Chen Xiaoyu in the backyard, and if anyone saw it, they said that they were temporarily hired to do chores in the kitchen. The little girl was quite obedient and promised not to run around.

At noon the next day, Qiu Yinming came to the Yamen of Wuchang Mansion by appointment. As soon as he saw Governor Liu's mansion, he smiled and congratulated: "I heard that my lord successfully captured the bandit leader of Feihu Village, congratulations." Governor Liu replied with a smile on his face: "This is also a blessing to adults." Now that the Wuchang Mansion is cleared, the lower officials can also rest assured for a while. Qiu Yinming said: "Lord Liu has good governance, and Qiu will definitely praise him when he returns to Beijing to report on his work." The small feast was set up in the garden within the three halls of the government, and Qiu Yinming specially paid attention to the layout of the three halls when he came in. The last time I went to visit Qiao San in the cell, I remembered that the cell was underground, and I entered through the small door behind the Zhaomo on the west side of the second hall. The partition wall behind the Teruma is the inner study of the prefect, and the garden is at the back of the inner study, separated only by a hanging flower door. The trees around the courtyard wall are all old, with tall branches and lush leaves, and flowers and trees flourish in the garden.

Sitting in the garden pavilion and having a drink with the prefect, Qiu Yinming suddenly asked: "I heard that the night before yesterday, the government army cleared the streets, waited for the rabbits, and arrested the bandit leader, but a few days ago, someone unveiled the list and reported that the bandit leader would rob the prison in the future?" ”

Governor Liu said with a smile: "How can there be people in the countryside who don't love money, and sure enough, someone came to denounce it, saying that the bandit leader would rob the prison the day before yesterday." I think it's strange that the person who brought the unveiler to the court for interrogation was actually a subordinate of Feihuzhai. said that many people in the village were dissatisfied with the bandit leader and wanted to turn against him. So I forgave the man for a while and let him go back and do an introvert. The day before yesterday, the man came to report that a total of five people who had come to rob the prison were his accomplices, except for the bandit leader. When the time comes, they will do it behind their backs. ”

"Such villains are especially hateful. What did Lord Liu do about it? ”

Governor Liu said: "Where can they escape." I let the soldiers ambush me, and when I saw that they had knocked out the bandit leader from behind, I rushed up and wiped out the other four. ”

Qiu Yinming nodded and said, "Lord Liu is clearly decisive." Where is the bandit leader imprisoned? ”

"Still in the dungeon. It is planned to be arraigned in a few days. ”

"I heard that the bandit leader is strong in martial arts, so you have to take strict precautions."

"Of course." Governor Liu said: "There is only one exit from this dungeon, and there are people guarding and patrolling day and night. The two bandit leaders were even more chained with iron shackles, and they would definitely not be able to escape. ”

When he came back from the prefect's yamen in the afternoon, Qiu Yinming immediately went to Gao Ye to discuss countermeasures. According to the meaning of Gao Ye, the night guard is the strictest, and you can go late at night to find out the defense arrangements of the government and the gap between the coming and going of the patrol soldiers, and then save people in one fell swoop at dawn in the early morning. Qiu Yin knew that he had been trained since he was a child and was proficient in the way of hidden attacks, and what he said was very reasonable, so he made such a decision. It just so happened that tomorrow the governor's chariot would set off, and after rescuing the people, they could hide in the governor's carriage, which was absurd, but it was the best way to get out of the city safely.

After the arrangements were made, Qiu Yinming and Gao Ye sneaked into the mansion in black and masked after entering the shift that night.

According to Qiu Yinming's instructions, Chai Ban asked someone to pull the governor's carriage to the back door and put it away. The deputy envoy was puzzled and asked him why, and Chai Ban explained that the adults planned to travel in casual clothes this time, without putting on a guard of honor, let alone beating gongs and drums. And a few days ago, I told the prefect that I don't need to come to see it off. Adults like to go early, so let everything be ready overnight. The deputy envoy thought that the governor had indeed said that this time he went to Jingzhou to inspect, and he did not even bring him, the deputy envoy, so it made sense, and this governor was a little weird. And he asked no more.

The watchman has just passed, and it has been four days. Chai Ban took Chen Xiaoyu and sat silently in the car outside the back door. At this time, the horse was not on the road, and the entourage was still sleeping in the backyard. Chaiban fidgeted, sweating profusely, and from time to time opened the curtain of the car to look outside.

Seeing him like this, Chen Xiaoyu whispered: "You are so brave. ”

Chai Ban wiped his sweat and said, "The child is really not serious. It's a head-killing thing! ”

Seeing that the sky was dark, Steward Chai was so anxious that his mouth was dry, sweating, and his hands and feet were trembling. Fortunately, I couldn't hear any movement in the direction of the government. He craned his neck and half-leaned out to look out of the car.

Suddenly, three figures came around the corner of the street. When I got closer, I saw that Qiu Yinming was in front, and the two people behind were wearing flails and couldn't run fast, so they finally ran to the carriage. Chen Xiaoyu threw himself out of the car, and was about to shout, but Qiu Yinming grabbed him quickly, covered his mouth, and lowered his voice: "Don't die!" Stay here and don't come out, don't move, don't make a sound, you know! It wasn't until Chen Xiaoyu nodded with tears in her eyes that she slowly let go of her hand. Then immediately let Chen Baisheng and Qiao San get into the carriage.

Steward Chai was stunned, and asked in a trembling voice, "Where is Master Gao?" ”

He led his pursuers in the opposite direction. There shouldn't be a problem. ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Gao Ye to fly down from the wall. Approached and said, "Okay, it's all gone." ”

Qiu Yinming said: "Fortunately for you this time." Please keep an eye on the three of you in the car, and everything will be fine when you get out of the city and get on the boat. ”

Gao Ye nodded. Qiu Yinming immediately entered the yamen to change clothes, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
