Zhao Liang and Yang Zongbao leaned in to take a look together, and saw that on the piece of paper, the layout of the prison of the criminal department was carefully and clearly drawn, where was the access control, where there was a sentry, and where the patrol route started and where it ended, all of which were clear at a glance.

Yang Zongbao sighed in admiration: "Oh, little apple, you are worthy of being the number one spy of our Yongbyon Army, with this picture, tonight's battle is at least half won!" ”

Zhao Liang also agreed: "The young general is right, if you want to take people away from a heavily guarded cell, you can't be blind." This map can help us plan the route and steps of the action, which greatly increases the success rate. ”

Apple heard the praise of the two, and his heart was happy, and he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, but at the same time, he was a little distressed, and said: "Although I have a map, I have studied it for a long time, and I feel that there are sentry checkpoints everywhere, and it is really difficult to start." ”

"When you say that, I feel the same way." Yang Ru sighed: "After all, this is the important land of Gyeonggi and the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the prison of the Criminal Department is where the felons are held, and even if the guards are lax, they are far stronger than ordinary yamen." Just looking at the twists and turns of the passage layout on the map, it is not difficult to imagine the danger in it. Besides, we don't know where Mu Ling is being held. ”

Zhao Liang comforted: "It's okay, if you get this picture, at least the first task has been successful." The rest comes step by step. I believe that there will be a harvest on the side of ingots. Let's wait for news from him, and then figure out where to start. ”

As soon as the words fell, the sentry boy came to pass, saying that the two Taoist leaders had come to pay a visit. Zhao Liang couldn't help but be happy: "Yo, this really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." ”

Yang Zongbao was worried about the big thing of saving people, and hurriedly ordered the little guy to hurry up, and after a while, Li Erbai and Yuanbao came together. As soon as the two of them entered the room, they first saw the map on the table, and they couldn't help but praise in unison, they didn't expect Zhao Liang and them to get such a treasure so quickly.

Zhao Liang said with a smile that this was all the credit of Apple, and praised the little girl firmly, and then asked, "How are you doing, what are you gaining?" ”

Li Erbai put the burden on his shoulders on the table and replied, "Uncle Shi, according to your instructions last night, the night clothes and masks are ready. However, the kind of thing of ecstasy incense, the disciples really can't get it, only a few smoke pills made by the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, which I seized when I eliminated a group of bandits in Pingdingshan the year before last, and I think it can still be used. ”

Zhao Liang flipped through the baggage casually, nodded with satisfaction, and asked Yuanbao again: "How is your news?" ”

"Uncle Hui, the disciple doesn't have the good skills of Apple Girl, so he can't get the layout of the prison of the Criminal Department. However," Yuan Bao paused and said, "I just found out where Mu Ling was being held. ”

Yang Zongbao said happily: "Is what the Taoist said true? Tell me quickly, where is she? ”

Yuan Bao replied unhurriedly: "I spent two yuan to buy off a cell leader in the Criminal Department. He told me that the prisoners in the Tianfu military ration case would be beheaded tomorrow, and they would all be detained in the cells of the west chamber of the Tianzi number at this time. The Mu family and Mu Ling were in one room, and Mu Ling was in the place closest to the passage. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Liang and the others hurriedly stared at the map to find it, and soon found the area where the Tianzi cell was located, and there were five rooms in the west room, and they came into view. Yang Ru took the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and drew a red dot on the outermost grid in the West Chamber.

Zhao Liang stretched out his fingers, starting from the red dot, and gradually moved along the passage of the cell like a maze, until his fingers slipped out of the side door of the cell, and then asked in a deep voice, "How many places are there?" ”

The crowd did not know what he meant for a moment, but Apple replied: "There are three gates, two posts, and the patrol route crosses once." If you go in and out once, you need to go through a total of 12 levels. ”

Li Erbai and Yang Zongbao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but gasp. If it was not a prison, but a Liao army barracks, with their kung fu, they would not be afraid to break through the twelve more levels. However, it is a pity that the act of robbing prisons cannot be carried out in a big way and rampage, let alone easily kill the killer and take the lives of his own soldiers.

The slightest carelessness has alarmed the sentry posts everywhere, and it may be difficult to get out safely.

Therefore, if they want to save people, they can only avoid all the sentry levels unknowingly, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Zhao Liang also felt worried, and asked Apple with a frown: "If it's you, how do you plan to get in and out?" ”

"It's only a disguise," Apple replied simply: "Find an identity and get in." ”

Yang Ru shook her head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple." It's easy to find official uniforms and military uniforms, but you can't get the pass token and the corresponding official documents for a while. ”

Li Erbai suggested: "According to the rules, before the death row prisoner is sentenced, relatives and friends can visit him in prison, can we take this opportunity to rescue people?" ”

Yang Zongbao sighed: "I have also thought about this method. However, it is easy to get in and easy to get out, but it is not easy to walk with Mu Ling. The guards are not blind and cannot let us come and go as we please. ”

Zhao Liang rolled his eyes and asked the ingots next to him: "Who is the official in charge of the prison, do you know?" ”

"Oh, this disciple knows." Yuan Bao hurriedly replied: "There are two officials in charge, one is Liu Jingye, the official of the Criminal Department, and the other is Yao Neng, the Criminal Prison Department. ”

"All lawsuits? Mention the Prison Division? So what is the difference between the official positions of these two? Zhao Liang continued to ask.

Yuan Bao shook his head hesitantly slightly, indicating that he didn't know, and Yang Zongbao replied for him on the side: "I know this better." The Metropolitan Officials Department is one of the four divisions of the Criminal Department, which is in charge of the detention and exile of prisoners and the families who commit the crime of treason, and the family is not an official or private slave, and is also in charge of the abolition, placement, increase, reduction, and dismissal of officials. Counting up, the prison of the Criminal Department is within the control scope of this Liu Jingye Liu, and all the people there are his subordinates. The other mentioning penal department mentioned by Yuanbao should be the Gyeonggi Road Mentioning Penal Division. He did not belong to the Criminal Department, but was specially appointed by the imperial court to supervise the trial of various cases in Gyeonggi Road, and to impeach and punish wrongs and dereliction of duty in prison. Because unjust cases must be reviewed frequently, that Lord Yao Neng Yao also has the right to supervise the prison cells of the Criminal Department. ”

Zhao Liang thought to himself: Oh, it turns out that this lawsuit is equivalent to the modern Ministry of Justice, which is in charge of prisons; The so-called Tidian Criminal and Prison Department is more or less like the procuratorate, where prosecutors are stationed in prisons to verify whether there are unjust cases. The former is in charge of the person, and the latter has the right to propose.

He nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Prison Department can interrogate prisoners in custody at any time, right?" ”

Yang Zongbao was puzzled: "Brother Zhao means that he pretended to be someone from the Criminal Division to bring Mu Ling out?" But the little sister didn't say it too, we don't have tokens and official documents at the moment. ”

"The token is easy to handle, and the official document needs to be printed, which is really troublesome." Zhao Liang said: "But if Yao Tixing comes forward in person, is it more effective than the official document?" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Liang's words, and at the same time they were surprised and couldn't help admiring his courage: this time not only did they want to rob the prison, but they also kidnapped and held the court officials hostage!

Yuan Bao suddenly hehe, there was an indescribable happy look on his face. Everyone was quite curious, and hurriedly asked him why he was laughing, Yuan Bao said: "As soon as Uncle Shi mentioned this matter, the disciple immediately remembered that Master Yao is still our old customer." ”

This little Taoist leader who opened his mouth about business and closed his mouth to buy and sell really made the Yang brothers and sisters and Apple find it interesting, and the other monks all shouted "donors", but he was good, calling others "customers", and it didn't sound like there was the slightest sense of disobedience.

Erbai Dao Chang reprimanded: "Senior brother, how did you do it? In front of Uncle Shi, he was full of nonsense. I think you're pulling an abacus, and you're going crazy. ”

Yuan Bao didn't dare to speak against his senior brother, but he still muttered a little aggrieved: "What's wrong with the abacus?" Isn't it all that I pulled out of everyone's eating, drinking, and Lazar? ”

Zhao Liang smiled: "It's okay." Yuanbao, as long as you can devote yourself to the Tao, whether it is to subdue demons and eliminate demons, or to act chivalrous and righteous, or to buy and sell or something, you are all a good disciple of the ancestor who turned off the lights. Let's talk about it, why is this Lord Yao Neng your old customer? ”

Yuan Bao received the affirmation of the Aquarius Star Immortal, and immediately closed his mouth happily, and hurriedly replied: "Uncle Shi, that's the case." This Lord Yao is also a clean official, he is in charge of the prison, so he naturally does not dare to be corrupt and bend the law, and his daily income is only the little money issued by the court. However, his family's expenses are not small, such as his wife, maids, housekeepers, and old mothers. Therefore, sometimes when I was nervous, Master Yao came to borrow some silver taels from me for emergency relief. ”

"What? You actually put the money in the print! Li Erbai was stunned: "Why don't I know at all? This is a cruel act! ”

Seeing the change in the face of the senior brother, Yuan Bao hurriedly explained: "It's not Yinzi money, it's not usury, I only charge him one cent of interest a year, it's about the same as borrowing for nothing." If you don't believe me, you can check my account book and remember it clearly. ”

Yang Ru said curiously: "Yuanbao Daoist, why did Master Yao borrow money from you?" ”

Yuan Bao explained a few more words to his senior brother, and then turned his head and replied to Yang Ru: "Second Miss doesn't know, Yao Neng once told me that the reason why he found me for help is because I am a monk. He is worried that if he goes to a private money bank or pawnshop, he will inevitably owe favors, and if those merchants are involved in criminal cases in the future, they will come to him to ask for a problem, which will affect the impartial enforcement of the law, which will be a trouble after all. And I'm just a little Taoist priest, I don't have a fight with the world on weekdays, and my chances of getting involved in the case are much smaller. ”

"According to what you say, Yao Neng should attach great importance to his official reputation," Yang Zongbao hesitated a little: "A person like this, even if he is kidnapped by us, I'm afraid he won't give in easily, right?" ”

Apple raised her eyebrows and snorted: "Put the knife on his neck, I don't believe he is obedient." ”

Yuan Bao waved his hand: "You don't need to put it on his neck, it's better to put it on his wife's neck." The reason why Yao Neng has a meager income and employs many subordinates is precisely because he dotes on his daughter-in-law very much. The lady of the Yao family was born in a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and when she got married, Yao Neng was just a small official with the size of a sesame mung bean, so he felt that he was a foreigner. Therefore, no matter how tight he usually is, Lord Yao will always try his best to meet his wife's various requirements, holding it in his hand all day long for fear of falling, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, and the baby is terrible. Therefore, if we scare Mrs. Yao with him, Zhun Bao will do whatever he wants. ”

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, and immediately felt that they saw hope, if Gyeonggi Road raised the prison Siken to come forward and suddenly interrogate Mu Ling overnight on the grounds of urgently verifying the case that was about to be executed, how would the people in the prison of the Criminal Department dare to stop it?

As for the official formalities, you can wait until the next day to make up for it, anyway, Lord Yao is there in person, can there be a fake?

Li Erbai nodded and said to Yuan Bao: "This matter is okay, do you know where Yao Neng's mansion is?" ”

Yuan Bao smiled: "Can you not know that?" He owes us hundreds of dollars. ”

Zhao Liang hehehe: "Seeing that it's not early, shouldn't we come to collect debts?" ”
