Chapter 358: Into the Tiger's Den
The Governor's Mansion is divided into three areas: the front, middle and back, the front yard is open and has always been used for performances, and the middle courtyard is where the residence and canteen are located.
Behind the Central Plains is a high wall, with only one door leading to the back, which actually divides the Governor's Mansion into two tall areas.
Behind the high walls is the Turtle City Prison.
Turtle City Prison has always been a place to hold prisoners, except for felons who will be sent to the Metropolitan Guardian Prefecture for detention, some ordinary criminals are often held in Turtle City Prison.
The prison is divided into three prisons: A, B, and C.
As we all know, the conditions of the Jiazi Prison are the most superior, under the auspices of Qin Xiao, the Jiazi Prison has always been regarded as a prison inn, as long as there is silver, even in the prison, you can enjoy extremely proper care.
Naturally, the conditions of the other two prisons were much worse.
When entering the Turtle City Prison, you usually only enter through the side door of the Governor's Mansion, and you don't need to go through the front, you can enter the prison directly through the side door.
And the guards at the side gate have always been strict, on duty in shifts, and there is no shortage of guards day and night.
After the Deathwing Cavalry captured the Governor's Mansion, dozens of people were left to garrison the Governor's Mansion.
For many of the prisoners in the prison, the arrival of the Deathwing Cavalry was a great thing.
After the Deathwing Cavalry took control of the Governor's Mansion, Cai Anyi immediately issued an order that the prisoners in the prison had three ways to choose, either to redeem themselves with silver and regain their freedom after paying the silver, or to join the army and participate in the Guicheng camp that was being formed, if they were not willing to choose either way, they would continue to stay in the prison.
So those who had money immediately notified their families to redeem themselves, and most of them joined the army to gain freedom.
Although the Deathwing Cavalry is the strongest soldier under Cai Anyi, but the strength is limited, three hundred cavalry are stationed in Turtle City, and the men and horses are stretched, so Cai Anyi quickly recruited troops in Zhen County and formed the Zhen County Battalion, which is based on the group of people who attacked the county guard on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Many hooligans and scoundrels in the city immediately joined the army, and in a short period of time, six or seven hundred people were recruited.
The prisoners in custody under the Turtle City Prison are mainly the servants of the Governor's Mansion who were captured that night and the few remnants of the County Guard's Mansion.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, although the deathwing cavalry stationed in the Governor's Mansion received wine and meat, the soldiers guarding the Turtle City Prison did not take it lightly and still strictly guarded the prison.
When Lu Siyuan's carriage stopped at the side gate of the prison, the guards outside the prison gate were not surprised, this Lord Lu has been in and out of the prison from time to time recently, and the guards here already know that Cai Anyi has handed over the Turtle City Prison to Lu Siyuan to be in charge, so Lu Siyuan has the right to enter and exit the prison at any time.
The two guards guarding the door even bowed slightly to Lu Siyuan.
However, when they followed the man behind Lu Siyuan, they immediately became vigilant.
The man was not tall, his body was thin, he was wearing a cotton robe and a cotton hat, and his mouth and nose were covered with a black scarf, so that he could not see clearly.
"Lord Lu, is this ......?" A soldier blocked the way.
Although Lu Siyuan is in charge of the Turtle City Prison, these cavalrymen naturally look down on such a person in their bones, and he just goes in and out of the prison alone, and brings others over, so he naturally has to interrogate him clearly.
In fact, the control of the Turtle City Prison is in the hands of a team leader, and the deathwing cavalry is a team of 100 people, and there is a team leader.
After seizing the Governor's Mansion, the team led dozens of subordinates to garrison here, and was also instructed by Cai Anyi, and Lu Siyuan, as a lobbyist, persuaded Han Yunong and others to defect to Li Huo, so that Lu Siyuan had the right to enter and leave freely.
Lu Siyuan broke out in a slight cold sweat on his forehead and glanced back.
The person behind him was, of course, Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao was calm, stepped forward, stretched out a hand, opened his five fingers, and there was a dice in his palm.
Lu Siyuan frowned, but the guard picked up the dice and glanced at it, his face changed slightly, and he quickly put the dice back into Qin Xiao's hand, and then bowed deeply in awe, and said respectfully: "Wait!" Without much talk, he turned and went through the door.
Lu Siyuan looked at the dice in Qin Xiao's hand and was a little surprised.
He really didn't understand why the cavalryman's attitude would turn 180 degrees when he saw a small dice, wanting to see what was wrong with the dice, but Qin Xiao had already clenched his hand.
Qin Xiao's heart was also steady.
This dice, of course, are extraordinary.
This was a gift from the gambling god Wen Budao to Qin Xiao in prison.
Wen Budao, who was still in prison at the time, guessed that his righteous brother Qiao Leshan had betrayed him, so he gave the dice to Qin Xiao, and even told him that if something happened, he could take the dice to the coffin shop on Jiming Street to find the coffin shop shopkeeper.
Qin Xiao found that each side of this dice was engraved with five points, which was very strange, completely different from ordinary dice, and his heart was strange.
But now, of course, he already knows that this dice are not easy.
Now the one who controls Turtle City is Cai Anyi, the owner of the coffin shop on Jiming Street, Qin Xiao naturally knows that the owner of the coffin shop must be a spy lurking in the city, and the force behind it is Li Huo's gang, who has a close relationship with Wen Budao.
He also knew that the Deathwing Cavalry all called Wen Budao "Fifth Brother", and the dice happened to be five points, which means that this dice was likely to be a token to prove Wen Budao's identity.
Wen Budao has a very high status among the Deathwing Cavalry, Qin Xiao wants to rescue Han Yunong, but the other party is extremely heavily guarded, he wonders if he can use this dice to make some articles, whether it is successful or not, he has to give it a try.
At this moment, after seeing the other party and seeing the dice, his attitude immediately changed, and he knew that the other party really recognized the dice.
After a while, he saw a person coming in a hurry, and Lu Siyuan recognized that it was the team leader stationed in the Governor's Mansion, and said with a smile: "Pang team Zheng, I ......!"
That Pang team didn't even look at Lu Siyuan, walked in front of Qin Xiao, didn't speak, just arched his hand, Qin Xiao showed up the dice here, Pang team was carefully picked up, looked at it carefully, put it back in Qin Xiao's hand, and said respectfully: "The fifth brother sent you?" ”
Qin Xiao said softly: "Do you know that Han Yunong was once a black-feathered night crow? ”
Team Pang was taken aback, and Qin Xiao continued: "The prince is raising troops, and the Immortal Army is likely to come out of the customs, and the Black Feather Night Crow knows everything about the situation of the Immortal Army, so I was ordered by the fifth brother to come to interrogate Han Yunong." ”
"I see." Qin Xiao threw out Han Yunong's unexpected identity, which made Pang Team Zheng convinced, and then looked at Lu Siyuan, who hurriedly said: "I was ordered by Lord Cai to accompany this brother to interrogate. ”
Team Pang was busy saying, "Two please!" ”
Although the guards were heavily guarded along the way, no one dared to stop them, and they successfully entered the Yizi prison, and when they arrived at the outside of a cell, through the wooden fence, Qin Xiao saw Han Yunong sitting cross-legged in the cell, although his clothes were disheveled, his body was straight, and he still maintained the temperament of a soldier.
His limbs were shackled, Team Pang was signaling the jailer to open the cell door, Qin Xiao glanced at Lu Siyuan, Lu Siyuan could only go in first, Qin Xiao followed behind and went in, and the jailer on the side had already sent two chairs in.
After the jailer retreated, Pang Team Zheng was still standing outside the cell door and did not leave.
Han Yunong raised his eyelids and saw that it was Lu Siyuan, a trace of disdain crossed his eyes, and he didn't speak.
Qin Xiao hadn't seen Han Yunong for nearly a year, and when he saw him again, he was a little excited, but his face was calm as usual, he sat down on the chair, and in the face of Han Yunong, he tore off the black towel covering his mouth and nose, coughed, and said lightly: "Are you Han Yunong?" ”
Han Yunong raised his head abruptly, and when he saw Qin Xiao's face, he was shocked, but Han Duwei was a person who had been in battle for a long time, although he was surprised that Qin Xiao suddenly appeared in front of him, but his face still looked very calm, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said coldly: "Who are you?" ”
"We have found out that you were originally a night crow under the command of General Black Feather, and you were ordered to come to Xiling to lurk." Qin Xiao said solemnly: "The Immortal Army is the descendant of General Black Feather, you should know the Immortal Army very well. ”
"So what?" Han Yunong didn't know what Qin Xiao wanted for a while, but he still cooperated with Qin Xiao very smartly.
Qin Xiao smiled faintly and said: "Who are the generals of the Immortal Army, what their temperament is, what hobbies they have, and what the Immortal Army's best tactics are, you should know all this." I came here today in the hope that Captain Han can provide us with this information, and as long as you help us, we can release you immediately. ”
Han Yunong laughed and said, "You guys are here for this?" It seems that you can only run for nothing, do you think I will tell you a word? ”
Qin Xiao sighed: "Don't you even care about your own life and death? ”
"If I was afraid of death, I would have wanted you to bow down and beg for mercy, so why wait until today." Han Yunong said coldly: "Don't get out of here." ”
Qin Xiao turned his head to look at Lu Siyuan, who immediately stood up, walked to the prison door, and said, "Bring a whip." ”
Team Pang took the whip and handed it to Lu Siyuan, Lu Siyuan stepped forward and slapped Han Yunong without a head or brain, but Han Yunong seemed to be accustomed to it and didn't move, Lu Siyuan whipped a few whips on Han Yunong's shoulder, and then stopped.
"Captain Han, you know, we have a lot of punishments." Qin Xiao said: "You don't want us to try it all over you." ”
Han Yunong snorted coldly and did not speak.
Qin Xiao stood up, covered his mouth and nose again, turned around and walked to the prison door, and said, "Pang Teamzheng, you send two people with us to escort Han Yunong to the county guard's mansion." ”
Team Pang was puzzled: "Send it to the county guard's mansion?" There are a lot of torture instruments in this cell, do you want to .....? ”
"Take it to the county guard's mansion and let Lord Cai judge it with us." Lu Siyuan immediately said: "When I came, Lord Cai instructed that if this guy is obsessed, let us take him back to the county guard's mansion, where there is a way to deal with him." ”
Team Pang saw Qin Xiao's eyes looking at him, and finally arched his hand: "Yes." ”
"By the way, is that Du Hongsheng also here?" Qin Xiao asked, "This person should know something about Kyoto, bring it with you." ”
Pang Teamzheng did not hesitate, and immediately ordered people to escort Du Hongsheng and Han Yunong out of the cell, and sent four cavalrymen to follow the guards.
Qin Xiao took a few people out of the prison, went out from the side door of the prison, went to the side of the carriage, and directly stuffed Han Yunong and Du Hongsheng into the carriage, which was quite empty, and four or five people would not be too crowded among them.
After Han Yunong and the others entered, Qin Xiao asked for the key to the shackles again, and then he and Lu Siyuan entered the carriage, and the coachman wearing a hat shook the reins of the horse and urged the horse to be rescued, and four death-winged cavalrymen followed behind to protect him.
Qin Xiao lifted the curtain of the car and waved his hand at Pang Team, but Pang Teamzheng bowed and saluted with several subordinates, very humble.
