Chapter 32, Worried
After turning a few street corners, Bai Qi looked around and saw that there was no one around, and came to the woman in a few steps, and said softly: "This girl, please take a step to speak." β
The woman was Qianniang, she was thinking about her heart, she was suddenly stopped by a person, startled, and saw that this person was very strange, so she said: "I want to go home, don't talk to you." "Say goodbye and go.
Bai Qi smiled: "I'm a friend of the assassin......"
Qianniang's body was shocked, and she suddenly stopped: "You are his friend?" Bai nodded: "Exactly, I also came to visit him." Qianniang said: "Then why don't you go to the prison camp and ask me what to do?" β
Bai Qi said: "Just now I was about to visit the prison, and I saw the girl being stopped outside the door, and I also heard the words of the soldier, it seems that I can't find out." β
Qianniang was a little worried about him: "If you can't find out, you won't leave yet?" β
Bai Qi said: "As far as I know, my friend is in Huayin City, has no relatives and no reason, and the girl calls him a distant cousin, is it true or false?" β
Hearing this, Qianniang hesitated: "This...... I ......"
Bai Qi observed the words and looks, knowing that there must be something wrong with this woman, and she might know some inside information, so she said: "This is not the place to speak, please move the girl and go to my next place to talk in detail." β
Where is Qianniang willing to go: "I want to go home, I don't know you, I won't go with you......" said that he was about to leave as soon as he flicked his sleeves, and Bai Qi followed, and the short knife in his hand was already under Qianniang's left ribs: "The girl had better listen to me, otherwise I know you, and my knife doesn't know ......"
Saying that, with a slight force inward, the tip of the knife pierced the clothes and pressed it under Qianniang's left ribs, stabbing the girl's whole body trembling, and her face immediately changed.
Qianniang had no choice but to follow Bai up to the inn.
At this time, twenty Qin soldiers were waiting in the room, sharpening their knives one by one, preparing to start at night. Suddenly, the door opened, and Bai Qi came back with a woman, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
But when the woman stood in front of everyone, one of the soldiers in the Qin army who was very close to Li Kang immediately changed his face, his hand shook, and he fell on the table with a single knife. Everyone looked at him and found that he was staring at Qianniang, as if he had seen a ghost.
Bai Qi noticed it and frowned: "What's the matter?" β
The soldier pointed at Qianniang, opened his mouth wide, and it took a long time for two words to come out: "Yun ...... Niang ...... "Qianniang was also very surprised, because this is the second person to call her Yunniang."
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qianniang: "Yun Niang? Do you know her name? β
The soldier said, "She...... She...... She ...... "held back for a long time before she said the whole sentence: "She is Li Kang's fiancΓ©e......"
Bai Qi sneered: "Nonsense...... It's all over a thousand ...... After so many years, Li Kang's fiancΓ©e has long since died! The soldier nodded, "I know, but...... But it's too similar......" Bai Qi Huo Ran turned his head and stared at Qianniang: "What's your name?" β
Qianniang reported her name, and Bai Qisenran said: "Li dare to see you, hasn't he?" Qianniang said: "Who is Li Kang?" Bai Qi said: "...... in the prison The one you're going to see. Qianniang had no choice but to nod.
Bai Qi continued to ask: "How was he arrested?" You must know. β
Qianniang didn't dare to speak, Bai Qi was afraid that she would scream in panic and attract others, so she didn't ask much, and said good words to reassure: "Don't be afraid, we are all good friends of his, and we are here to save him." Would you like to do it with us? Qianniang was very scared and shook her head again and again: "I...... I don't dare ......."
Bai Qi smiled coldly: "To tell you the truth, we are all rebel people's army, even if you don't save him, you can't get out of it." Your visit to him today is proof of that. Therefore, as long as he confesses, your crime of being a bandit will be confirmed. Let me ask you, do any of the soldiers in front of the prison know you? β
Qianniang nodded. Bai Qi said: "Since they know you, you have no way back." Whether you do it with us or not, you are a bandit, if you want to report to the official and arrest us, you can do whatever you want, but we are not the only ones in the city, there are brothers secretly ambushing, once we are arrested, the people's army will inevitably regard you as a mortal enemy, think about it, even the county commander we can assassinate, let alone you. The only way now is to rescue him before he confesses, so that you can live your life with peace of mind. β
These words were even threatening and coaxed, and they understood thoroughly, Qianniang thought about it left and right, and thought about Bai Qi's right. With a single thought, he has already boarded the thief ship, and he is afraid that he will also affect his father. After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth: "Okay, I'll go with you to save her, but if it doesn't work out, don't bother my father." β
Bai Qi smiled: "As long as the girl is willing to work, we will definitely succeed." "It turns out that since I saw Qianniang in front of the prison door, Bai Qi has already become a bamboo in his chest.
Now that it was already dark, Bai Qi gave an order, and the troops began to change into the Ming army uniform, with a single knife at their waists, but Bai Qi went into the inner room and focused on dressing up, and everyone didn't know what he was doing, and no one dared to disturb. When the door of the back room opened, an old man with white hair and a hunched back came out.
Everyone looked at each other and was stunned, and the old man smiled at this time: "Can you recognize me when I am dressed?" β
Only then did everyone hear that it was Bai Qi, it turned out that he had painted his hair white, bent over, and his face was painted with tea leaves, which was a little yellow, and no one could see it.
Everyone laughed, and Qianniang couldn't believe her eyes. At this time, Bai Qi asked someone to fry a few dishes from the store, take a few steamed buns, make two pots of wine, and ask for a big food box, and after a while, these things were delivered. Bai Qi put a few short knives on the bottom layer of the food box, pressed them on a vegetable plate, put some wine, and a few steamed buns, lifted these things, and ordered: "Qianniang and I will go first, you watch outside, as long as there is a commotion in the prison, you will go and kill the guard sergeant, take us, and be sure to succeed." β
Everyone agreed, Bai Qi and Qianniang left the inn and walked towards the prison camp.
Along the way, Qianniang asked him: "The last time I went, the sergeant didn't let me visit, is it okay this time?" Bai Qi sneered: "With me, it will definitely be possible, don't worry." β
After the two of them walked for a short time, they arrived at the prison camp, and saw that there were still eight sergeants in front of the door, and a few lanterns were carried on the iron door of the prison, which was brightly illuminated.
As soon as he arrived at the door, the sergeant guarding the door stopped him, and a soldier stepped forward to look at Qianniang, a little annoyed: "Little lady, I just came once, why did you come again?" β
Qianniang replied boldly: "Master Jun, I want to ...... I'd love to see him......"
The sergeant waved his hand repeatedly: "Let's go...... Otherwise, even your father won't have anything to do with it! β
At this time, Bai Qi stepped forward, put down the food box, and said with a smile: "Little Lao'er used to be the servant of the son, and now the son is in trouble, so let me investigate, otherwise I will die, and I can't close my ......eyes."
As he spoke, he took the sergeant's hand and slapped it into his palm.
The sergeant felt a sinking in his hand, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a piece of silver weighing about ten taels, which was a lot, and he immediately smiled. He took a few steps back and came to a man who seemed to be their leader, and handed the man the silver in his hand, and whispered a few words.
The leader walked over, took a closer look at Qianniang and Bai Qi, and felt relieved, an old man, a weak woman, what can happen? But he didn't feel at ease, so he came to the food box, lifted the lid and took a look, then checked the silver in his hand, and smiled: "Go in, hurry up......"
Bai Qi and Qianniang thanked each other and carried the food box into the prison door.
Inside the prison door, not a few steps away, is a big stone house, a hundred and ten steps long, there are torches lit inside, eerie and terrifying, from time to time there is a dying person's ** wail, when I look at it, I see that there are two rows of cells, all of which are surrounded by thigh-thick jujube wood, there is a table at the door of the house, and there are two errand servants sitting on the side, who are eating and drinking, and it seems that they are in charge of the prison cells. One of them carried a large circle of keys around his waist.
Bai Qi saw it in his eyes, remained silent, went over to greet him, took out a pot of wine from the food box, and two dishes to entertain, the two of them were very happy to see the wine and food, Bai Qi took the opportunity to say that he wanted to visit the murderer who assassinated the county order, the two waved their hands, and said that they were in the innermost prison room, and told them to go by themselves.
Qianniang and Bai Qi carried the food box to the innermost prison cell, and saw that there was a person inside, wearing iron cuffs on his hands, iron shackles on his feet, and twenty or thirty pounds.
