Junju City

"Prison robbery" is really not a good job, it is easy to lose your life, normal people know this! It just so happened that Xu Cun's thinking was normal. But after repeated weighing, robbing the prison is the only way to rescue Hu Si and Fan Jiutong at present.

After the incident, the Fan family was allowed to take out a lot of money to make some money up and down, but the government, which was open-minded about money on weekdays, stuck to the matter, and did not have the intention of closing the case for a long time, making it clear that they wanted to take the opportunity to steal all of Fan Jiutong's family property. As for the lives of the two of them, they must be nine deaths and no life, because normal people understand that only death without proof can there be no future troubles!

Judging from the news that the brothers on the street have inquired about in the past few days, although Qi Dahu is accused of rebellious soldiers and people, the government government does not follow the routine and does not inform the garrison. Especially Chang Hou, the commander of the Caizhou Army who is currently stationed outside Junzhou City, is well-known for his mercenary and black-heartedness.

Xu Cun stared out the window blankly, like an old monk in a fixed place, and carefully checked the details of the entire plan again and again in his mind, for fear that he would miss something and harm the lives of the brothers;

The day before yesterday, he had secretly gone out of the city to find Lu Ben Menghu, and informed them that they had arranged for the brothers to slowly enter the city in batches in the past two days, and after entering the city, they would be handed over to Xiaoliu to be in charge of scattering and hiding on standby. Crossbow arrows and horizontal knives were also stuffed into the dung carts of the vegetable garden outside the city, and Zhang Cheng drove into the city before the city gate closed at dusk. Fan Jiutong's family also found various reasons to leave the city in the past two days......

Since they are already rebels and rogues who have nowhere to live, what does it matter if they rob a prison by the way!

……

According to the theory of architectural feng shui and yin and yang, all yamen mansions are located in the north and facing south, while the prison is in yin, and it is usually appropriate to be located in the kun position, that is, the southwest corner of the hall of each yamen. Due to the deep resentment in the prison, it is common to depict the image of a "fierce man" in front of the prison door, which is most suitable for warding off ghosts and evil spirits.

The government jail in Junzhou is no exception, it is located in the right side courtyard of the yamen hall, there are two doors, an inner door is connected to the government hall, which is convenient for adults to bring people to try cases, and at night, for fear of disturbing the rest of the adults, they bolted this door. The other gate is located on the side street, which is used for the cell guards to enter and exit on weekdays, and to arrest and release people.

It is completely different from the clean and neat avenue in front of the house, and the scene of the side street is chaotic.

Almost all the common people in Junzhou City live on a few side streets, and the materials used to build houses are also varied. Some wealthy families would build their houses out of wood; But most of them are mud houses made of wood and bones; The so-called "wood bone molding" is to use adobe to build a wall, and then use a large fire to burn the mud wall into a solid pottery wall to prevent it from collapsing after encountering water. It doesn't cost much money to build adobe houses, but they are sturdy and durable, and they have always been the first choice for ordinary people to build houses, so there are many such adobe houses on the side streets.

Of course, there are many poor people who are lonely and miserable, and can only live in shabby lands; The so-called manhole is to dig a big pit in the ground, set up a few bamboo poles and sticks to make roof beams, and then take thatch to pave a roof to protect from the wind and rain, because there is no gable to keep out the rain, it has to be built in a higher place. The people who live in the caves are undoubtedly destitute people, who can only live in burrows in the ground like rats every day.

There are also a few holes on the side street where the prison is located, but at this time, it is quietly crowded with big men.

Zhang Bantou, who was on duty, rubbed his sore waist and looked tired.

Somehow tonight! Just after night, Li Er, a splashy person on South Street, was drunk, and he didn't let go of the woman on the street, and he had to lift someone's skirt, Zhang Bantou rushed with someone, beat him violently, and kicked the guy all the way home after sobering up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the class room, the splashes on the north and south streets made trouble again, and they all used knives, and Zhang Bantou rushed to pick up these idlers who were not going to die. Just after the child, the prison is directly opposite the family of the dead people, began to cry out the sky and the ground to mourn, just lying down Zhang Bantou wanted to scold, and thought that the dead are big, so he endured his temperament.

……

Xu Cun is as calm as water on the surface, but in fact, there are turbulent waves in his heart, the gong of the watch has struck the third watch, and there is still an hour to start acting, turning his head to look at the leak on the table, every drop of water dripping from it seems to be hot oil poured on his heart.

The action must be carried out quickly, before dawn, whether it is successful or not, and must be finished after a maximum of one hour; When the city gate was just opened, it was necessary to arrange for the brothers to evacuate Junzhou as soon as possible. The whole process must not alarm the defenders, otherwise if the two dozen brothers are trapped in the city, they will not be able to survive!

Xu Cun stared at the direction of the north of the city, and Xiao Liu, who was fast-legged, was very safe, and there was already a fire rising in the shadows.

……

Zhang Bantou, who had just fallen asleep, was called out by the husband who hurriedly ran to slam the door. It turned out to be the Zhiwei Building of Qi Dahu on North Street, which was set on fire by two splashers who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and the officers and soldiers patrolling the street had already caught the prisoners and asked the team leader to hurry up and get them. Arson on the street, then pay it back? Zhang Bantou endured the boredom and got up, scolded a few words of anti-heaven splashing, kicked up the two napping catchers, and led the people to North Street.

When I arrived at North Street, I saw that the fire had already burned, and the officers and soldiers patrolling the city had already arrived, and the fire fighting team was still on the way. A few bold people nearby were draped in clothes, standing in the distance and pointing and watching the excitement.

The two arsonists were also single, and they didn't run away after setting the fire, so they squatted in place and waited for the catch to come and get it, only saying that they were angry that Qi Erhu falsely accused his Uncle Fan, so he ran to set fire to his Zhiwei Building.

Zhang Bantou, who has been tired all night, where is he still in the mood to talk to them? walked over and kicked and beat a few times, and then escorted the two splashes back to the prison.

When he came to the door of the government prison, he heard the howl of the opposite side and the howl of the ghost and the howl of the wolf.

Zhang Bantou was about to step into the door, but suddenly heard a burst of crossbow arrows in his ears, "Tuk Tuk Tuk ......"!

The porter in front of him snorted and fell to the ground, his limbs twitching, a strange "grun......t" in his throat, and a crossbow arrow had pierced his neck.

Zhang Bantou subconsciously turned his head to see that the two brothers behind him had already fallen in a pool of blood!

Their screams before they died melted into the hoarse howls of exhaustion, and they did not even disturb the distant courting toads, who were still croaking in the pond.

Under the bleak moonlight, only the wooden "fox" in front of the door, and the still extremely hideous face seemed to reveal a trace of incredible surprise!

The sudden change shocked Zhang Bantou's soul to scatter! Before he could exclaim, he was tightly covered by a tower-like man, holding a knife to his throat, and watched more than a dozen ghostly figures flash into the door in the darkness.

In the dark, a few strong men who were silent but quick with their hands and feet dragged the corpses on the ground and threw them into the courtyard, bolting the gate again, and then pushed Zhang Bantou towards the courtyard.

Turning the middle pavilion, Zhang Bantou, who was almost suffocated, saw these daring bandits clearly with the help of the dim wind lamps in the courtyard; A small-eyed man led people into the duty room and tied up several night hunters; Another slender man took the lead and went straight into the prison......

Everything was in the midst of lightning, suddenly starting and abruptly stopping. Where are the ordinary servants who are the opponents of these thugs? With a family and a job, who wants to fight with the outlaws to the death? In less than a stick of incense, the entire prison was completely silent, except for the three dead bodies in the courtyard, as if nothing had happened......

Xiao Liu came out with Fan Jiutong on his back, and Meng Hu pointed to Zhang Bantou and several cell bosses and asked Xu Cun: "Have these dogs also been slaughtered?" Zhang Bantou, who was tied into a dumpling and gagged his mouth, was so frightened that he kowtowed like pounding garlic when he heard this, and looked at Fan Jiutong with his eyes.

When the old Fan was mixed up on the street, he was caught and released by these team leaders, and he was naturally familiar with it after dealing with him more, at this time, Fan Jiutong saw the pitiful appearance of Zhang Bantou, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he pleaded for them.

Xu Cun saw that Lao Fan no longer insisted on intercession, waved his hand at Meng Hu to give up, turned to Fan Jiutong and said: "Old Fan, your family has been sent to Qingfeng Ridge, and Chief Zhao is also personally outside the city to respond, hurry up!" A group of people pulled Hu Si and ran out of the cell with Fan Jiutong on their backs.

Lu Ben quietly grabbed Xu Cun in the courtyard and said, "Big brother, I'll do something!" Xu Cun, who was busy directing the brothers to evacuate, did not ask, but just instructed: "Go and come back quickly!" See you at the North City Gate, don't make another incident! Lu Ben nodded yes.

Seeing that the brothers had all left the courtyard gate, and after the mourning pimpies on the opposite side had also packed up their things and ran away, Lu Ben re-bolted the door of the cell and went over the wall.

……

Junju City faces the river on one side, so there are only three gates. Xu Cun divided the brothers into three groups and arranged for them to wait at the other city gates, and when they left the city, they all went to the mountain temple to meet. He and a few Lu Ben, who had already returned, were mixed among the people who left the city early, and waited anxiously under the north city gate.

The time has come, the sky is getting brighter, and the people walking on the street are gradually increasing, and the city gates, which have been opened on weekdays, have not been opened today!

Xu Cun couldn't help but be shocked! In another hour, the successor will go to the government prison, and the matter will be revealed, if the government office informs the officers and soldiers to seal the city gate, these people will be like turtles in the urn, and they will never survive!

Thank God! After another moment or so, two soldiers dressed in alcohol finally came out and opened the city gate.

Xu Cun and the others pretended to be calm in front of the soldiers guarding the city, slowly followed the crowd past, walked out of the city gate, and walked out of the city gate not far away, and ran away like a girl.

……

When he arrived at the mountain temple and saw that his brothers had returned, Xu Cun was relieved. After waiting for a while, Zhang Cheng arrived with the dung truck, and Xiao Liu hurriedly went up and lifted the lid of the dung bucket, picked out the foul-smelling Fan Jiutong, and took out the crossbow arrow and handed it back to Meng Hu.

As soon as Fan Jiutong reached the ground, after thanking Xu Cun and the others, he looked around, looking for the figure of his righteous brother Zhao Wu.

At this time, Xu Cun smiled evilly: "Brother Fan is not searchable, your family is in Qingfeng Town, twenty miles away, and Zhao Wu didn't come!" ”

When Fan Jiu heard this, he understood the deep meaning, and knew that the retreat of Qingfeng Ridge was completely cut off by Xu Cun. While crying for his righteous brother in his heart, he secretly speculated about his future and way out;

"Brother Fan, I'm afraid that Junzhou City can't go back now, and Qingfeng Ridge is not a place to stay for a long time, why don't you take your family and brothers to the south first, so that we can call the front station?" Xu Cun said.

Fan Jiutong knew that this time there was a big case, not to mention Junzhou City, even if it was the entire Shannan East Road, there was no place for him to stand. Lao Fan is also a man who can afford to let go, and the matter has come to this point, so he is not cowardly, and simply agrees happily.

After settling Fan Jiutong, Xu Cun turned his head and asked Lu Ben in a low voice: "I haven't asked you yet, have you killed Qi Dahu?" Lu Ben took out a dagger and said with a smile: "I didn't kill it, when I went, he opened his mouth and snored, Ben'er was annoyed when he listened, so he took this thing and put it in and stroked it a few times!" ”

Fan Jiutong and the others were so frightened when they heard the words that they were like ghosts, smacked their tongues and shrunk their necks, and subconsciously closed their mouths tightly.

……

On the winding and rugged mountain road, Meng Hu held Hu Si's shoulder and chatted while walking: "Fourth, the "rice bucket" was beaten like a pig's head in the prison, how can you be so decent? ”

When Hu Si heard Meng Hu ask, he began to gush endlessly: "That's him stupid!" I know that you have appointed me to save me, and when you pass through the hall, no matter what the adults ask, you will admit it, and why do you beat me? You don't know Big Tiger! Even the case of rape and murder of Widow Zhang in the east of the city half a month ago, I recognized it without blinking an eye...... "If you want to say that you don't know how to do things, why didn't you bring my family Chunmei out with you?" ……”

Xu Cun, who was walking behind, listened to it, and finally couldn't help the anger in his heart, stretched out his leg and kicked Hu Si fiercely, and scolded viciously in his mouth: "You son of a murderer!" ……”
