Volume 2 Zhongzhou Career Chapter 23 Confrontation

The Imperial Prison is located in the southeast corner of the capital city. Unlike other prisons, this is an underground cell with a small fortification stacked with wide moats, like a city within a city. There was only one passage into the courtyard, which was surrounded by walls and watchtowers at the corners. It is the most tightly sealed prison in the country.

The silent guard is worthy of being the most shrewd spy of the dynasty, and has already set up a temporary office on the high slope to the west of the Imperial Prison City.

"Brother Zhang, you saved all the 100 brothers in our place, and today all the brothers will hand over their lives to Brother Zhang, and they will live and die together!"

"Yes, listen to Brother Zhang, the grace of saving your life cannot be repaid."

The prisoners of the local number responded one after another, and Zhang Yi had already tied Wei Xingbin to the chair and had a rag in his mouth.

Zhang Yi was half-raised on the ground at this time, his eyes looking at the gradually darkening sky:

"Don't rush out, there must be officials and soldiers outside at this time, our more than 100 brothers are not enough for them to kill, this dog officer is our biggest magic weapon."

A black-faced bearded man sulked and asked:

"Brother Zhang, did you say that the imperial court would negotiate with us?"

Zhang Yi is confident:

"You must know, what is the official position of the criminal department? Liubu Shangshu is a fellow Zaifu, such a big scandal, I think that Tu Bin Lao'er will not dare to forcibly use troops, wait. ”

Blackface and Beard rolled his eyes:

"Brother Zhang, I'll find some brothers, collect firewood and grass and put it on the roof, in case the officials and soldiers are strong, we will burn down the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, so that the whole world can see the face of the court."

Zhang Yi stood up with a bone, and punched the black-faced beard in the chest by the way:

"Yes, it's not a loss to the bandit head who set fire to Junzhou City, and it really has some ghost ideas."

Blackbeard got permission and quickly gathered a group of men, piled up a large amount of firewood and grass on the roof of the cell, and lit a few torches.

Night had already crept down.

Blackface hesitated:

"Brother Zhang, I just looked around, and in order to see the siege of the official army, I thought that I hadn't had time to mobilize troops and horses, wouldn't it be good for us to drive this dog officer out of the city gate now?"

Zhang Yi snorted:

"Just complimented you a few words, and you went crazy? This is the prison of the Criminal Department of the Iron Lion Hutong, the outer city is the Lianhu Baqiao, today is the May Festival, the temple fair was the most lively in the past, how can it be so quiet tonight?

Don't you think it's suspicious? In the dungeon, we are our ancestors, and out of the dungeon, I keep your head full of archers' carved arrows. ”

The prisoners couldn't help but laugh when they thought of the big black head full of carved arrows.

Two thousand soldiers transferred from the infantry commander Yamen had been besieging it for a day.

Xing Jingtian decided to shout today, and put on a black lamb's skin and went to the watchtower of the prison.

"Hey, listen down, our Commander Xing is talking to you!"

A reticular guard shouted loudly with a hand-rolled horn.

There was a moment of silence below, and then someone laughed:

"What the fuck Commander Xing! We are the old charter! If there's a fart, let it go! ”

Xing Jingtian leaned out and said loudly:

"Who of you now has the final say? Is it different? Come out and speak! ”

There was silence for a while, and someone replied:

"We are all heroes here, and we all have the final say!"

Xing Jingtian laughed loudly and sarcastically:

"I'm Xing Jingtian, a man with a knife, and if you are a hero, you will come out and talk back!"

Unexpectedly, the prisoners in the imperial prison with the names of heaven, earth, and man seemed to be twisted into a rope at this moment, and none of them were willing to reply.

Xing Jingtian tightened his lips, suppressed his anger, and sneered:

"Do any of you still want to live? I only have one sentence, whoever wants to live will turn around and surrender first! Limited to one day and one night, release Wei Shangshu, otherwise I will order this nest to be burned, and the heralds will go and collect a hundred barrels of fish oil, and set it on fire in a while! ”

"As long as you are willing to give up this Shangshu who is a good product of the dynasty, Lao Tzu doesn't care about this life! Tell your surname Xing, if you dare to set fire, we will kill this Wei Shangshu first! ”

Xing Jingtian saw that the prisoners were playing gangsters, and he was really afraid that if he didn't handle it properly, Wei Xingbin's head would be picked off by the thieves and prisoners, and he suddenly fell into a silent stalemate.

There was a sneering sneer in the edict, as if it was nothing more than mocking the first prison god of the dynasty.

Suddenly, a red-haired villain rushed up to the tower and shouted to the people below: "I don't believe Lord Wei is still alive!" ”

Xing Jingtian was also taken aback, with his cultivation in the Jindan realm, he didn't even notice when this red-haired man came to his side.

The prisoners in the prison shouted:

"If you don't believe it, you'll set it on fire!"

"Let it go!" The red-haired man was furious and shouted:

"When Lao Tzu is splashing, you special mothers still pee and mud!"

I saw that he easily drew the bow and arrow in the waist of the retained guard, and ignited it with a flint on his shoulder, and I didn't see how he aimed, so he pulled the bowstring with his hand casually, and a "squeak" arrow was shot, only to hear the sound of "oops" below, and the thief prisoner who had just replied had already been hit by an arrow in his thigh, and his pants suddenly burned.

These few strokes can really be described as an expert, taking the bow and arrow to ignite the fire to launch without a breath of time, Xing Jingtian wanted to stop it, but it was too late, and hurriedly made a move Lao Jun pushed the door, and his right fist went up to seal the Dahan acupoint, but the place he wanted to touch was as stiff as steel, and his bone ring had been dislocated, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Endure the pain and whisper and ask, "Who are you?" ”

The red-haired man smiled:

"The former Li family's army marched, Xue Taisui."

Xing was shocked, and was about to ask, but saw Xue Taisui take out a yellow and clear gold medal in his hand, with a few small characters in seal font on it, "Auxiliary General's Mansion Walking", so he didn't dare to ask again.

There seemed to be a hurried discussion in the cell below:

"Damn, I didn't expect the officers and soldiers to really dare to set fire to ......", a few masked men pushed an unkempt official out, and sneered at Xue Taisui and Xing Jingtian:

"Let your brother talk to you!"

Xing was stunned for a moment, slowed down his tone, and asked:

"Lord Wei, do you have anything to say?"

Wei Xingbin seemed to be in a trance and looked at the row of soldiers with swords and bows on the top of the Sanzhang Wall, Xing Jingtian and Xue Taisui, and said:

"Two! Do what you want, if you want to set fire, then let it go, don't mutter! ”

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped twice in the face, and the corners of Wei Xingbin's mouth were bleeding.

A tall masked man next to him scolded: "Damn it! What did you just say? ”

Wei Xingbin also let go and shouted loudly:

"They are Qingyang bandits, and the one who is the leader is the Yellow Wind Banner to make a difference......"

Before he finished speaking, he was taken off his chin, and a group of people surrounded him with punches and kicks, and then pushed him back.

Xing Jingtian suddenly felt sad in his heart, he had only seen the anti-thief killing official in books, Wei Xingbin had fallen to such a point, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.

Xue Taisui shouted loudly:

"Zhangyi, listen, Wei Xingbin is cowardly and incompetent, and he is not a good official. The court doesn't feel sorry for him! If you let him go, you can still save these 100 ignorant prisoners, isn't it also your merit in the underworld?

I won't hide it from you, you can't live, don't you think about so many people? ”

When I listened closely, there seemed to be a discussion below, and suddenly I burst into laughter.

Zhangyi's voice shouted through the window: "Xue Taisui, you Zhangye hangs this kind of flowery intestines." You finally became the eagle dog of the imperial court, when you were in your mother's womb, I was already a famous butcher Huang Feng in the underworld, what have you never seen? ”

Xue Taisui was silent for a while, and said with a smile:

"Zhong Kui met five ghosts today, you are a ruthless character! Tell me, what charter do you have? ”

"Well, this is an honest man!" Zhangyi grinned and replied:

"Crossing the Yellow River in the north is Dugu County, and there is the northeast boundary.

Get ten boats, send two men to take us a hundred miles into the mountains, and see you on the battlefield from now on!" ”

Xue Taisui smiled: "You are so smart! I'll let you go, but what if you don't let people go? ”

Zhangyi said loudly: "Lao Tzu has been walking the rivers and lakes for thirty years, where have I heard anyone say that my words don't count!"

After crossing the Yellow River, I will leave the hostages to you, and we will change people a hundred miles!" ”

Xue Taisui gritted his teeth and thought nervously, this place goes to Lintong Pass in the west and Luoyang in the east, which are all densely populated places and are heavily guarded.

Funiu Mountain in the south and Taihang Mountain in the north are indeed the best places to escape and hide.

It took a long time to come up with an idea.

Xue Taisui said loudly:

"That side is the Shanxi boundary, my people can't follow you for a hundred miles, we will change people on the boat in the center of the Yellow River, and from then on we will go to the west and the east!"

This time, the prisoners below were silent, and it took a while for them to reply:

"No, you must walk a hundred miles!"

Xue Taisui gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll let you go a hundred miles, and the court knows that I want my life. It's in the middle of the Baqiao River, otherwise, you will wait for the fire to burn the city! ”

After listening closely, it seems that there are a few people below who are arguing quietly.

After a long time, Zhang Yi reluctantly replied:

"Well, with you! But when will my brethren go ashore and change people without an ambush? ”

Xue Taisui was overjoyed: "Now! ”

"You're dreaming!" Zhangyi laughed:

"I'll give you an hour to prepare ten boats, and at dawn and five watches, we will see you on the bridge!"

Xue Taisui smiled:

"Okay, five watches will be five watches! Listen, I have a word first, if your people dare to go back to my pickaxe capital to make trouble, I will order the whole country to snipe your family members! ”

As he spoke, he went down to the Wangjiao archway, and summoned Xing Jingtian and the official army Benzuo to discuss the military plane:

"Commander Xing, please let a few shrewd and capable brothers change the number of prisoners, it will be useful in a while, and I will mobilize the transport ship."

Xing Jingtian grabbed Xue Taisui:

"Are you really planning to help the enemy escape?"

Xue Taisui sneered:

"If the thief runs away, I won't survive, what do you have to do."

After that, he turned around and disappeared, and the sergeants of each battalion acted separately under the leadership of Jin Wuwei.
