Chapter Forty-Eight: The Night and the Wind Are High and the Prison Day (Part II)
Chen Ning Tujie held the black-clothed man who rescued them, all the way to the outside of the prison, when passing by Hu Weiyong's peculiar cell, he couldn't help but spit a mouthful of phlegm, in the bottom of their hearts, they were grateful and hated to Hu Weiyong, grateful to Hu Weiyong for promoting them to a high position before, hating Hu Weiyong for sending them to this prison.
The two did not have the idea of opening the door of Hu Weiyong's prison, but gloated through the small window to look at the bound Hu Weiyong, Hu Weiyong lost a few points, in front of him was the food on the table, seeing that there was only one day left before the execution day, Hu Weiyong's face was like ashes, his eyes looked at the three people passing by without a match, and he also heard the conversation outside the cell, but he couldn't arouse his interest in life.
"Be honest, don't think about letting Hu Weiyong out, send it out to the two of us first, we will consider releasing you back to rescue him, without him, our brothers would not have ended up in such a field!" Chen Ning said coldly, during this time, he has not treated himself badly, even if the food in the prison is unpalatable, he always eats it hard, because of this, he is not as weak as Hu Weiyong, he has the strength to escort the man in black to the ground with Tu Jie, and he Chen Ning has a little bit of kung fu.
The man in black is a lot more honest, there is a dagger behind him, no one is really fearless, even the so-called dead man, when he knows that he will die, he will have a fear of death, and the man in black is even more so, he is not a murderer, just a thief, and his hands have never been stained with blood, he also knows that this trip is a job that must lose his head, but the return given to him by His Royal Highness Zhu Li is too tempting.
Outside the door of the prison, I heard clear footsteps inside, the footsteps were chaotic and overlapping, obviously not a person escaped from the prison of the Criminal Department, the officers and soldiers were ready to go, and they were fully prepared, because no one knew whether the people inside were carrying murder weapons such as firearms, and the officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department did not carry firecrackers and other weapons.
Ma Sanbao took off the AK from his back, loaded the bullet, and was also prepared, he was different from other officers and soldiers, if the other party was carrying a firecracker, he could kill the other party as soon as possible.
Soon, three figures appeared in the darkness, and the officers and soldiers hurriedly opened them, carefully probing who these three people were.
"I finally got some fresh air, and my life in that prison wasn't satisfactory at all!" Chen Ning let go of the hand escorting the man in black and stretched his waist, Tu Jie on his side looked around vigilantly, he was much calmer than Chen Ning, Chen Ning was still enjoying the fresh air, he was cautiously poking his head out, he did not get rid of his identity as a fugitive.
"Take it all for me!" Suddenly, the voices of the officers and soldiers sounded, which frightened Chen Ning and Tujie, and they saw that three or five officers and soldiers suddenly appeared in front of them and pressed them to the ground, and their hands and feet that had just broken free from the shackles were fastened again, and they looked at the officers and soldiers around them in shock, but they never thought that they would be caught again as soon as they stepped out of prison.
"Why is there no Hu Weiyong?" Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di looked at the three people who were taken down in front of them suspiciously, the man in black was obviously the strange guy they had been monitoring since they were in the tower, but there were only two people in front of them, Chen Ning and Tu Jie, could it be that these two people sent someone to save themselves?
"Hu Weiyong is still inside, my lords, I was just tempted by the two of them, they gave me a lot of money, let me open the door for them, you treat me as a fart, let me go, okay?" Before Chen Ning and Tujie could speak, the man in black was the first to speak, but his eyes covered by black cloth showed a trace of horror, but he never thought that there would be so many officers and soldiers surrounding the prison of the Criminal Department.
The man in black looked at the incense burner at Ma Sanbao's feet in horror, this small incense burner he thought was very hidden, basically impossible to be discovered, but he never thought that there was a child on the tower staring at him for a long time, not giving him a chance to escape at all, and even surrendering his incense burner.
The strange weapon in Ma Sanbao's hand was aimed at the head of the man in black, although he didn't know what this thing was, but the man in black felt the threat from his life, he didn't dare to speak anymore, but obediently let the officers and soldiers detain him, robbing the prison was originally a serious crime, not to mention that this was a prison within the Criminal Department, if Ma Sanbao hadn't found it in time, the man in black would probably have rescued all the sinners under the noses of the officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department.
"Young Master Ma, Fourth Highness, this son has explained, his target is Chen Ning and Tu Jie, not Hu Weiyong." Not long after the officers and soldiers brought the man in black to the interrogation room, an officer and soldier stood beside Ma Sanbao and reported the results of the previous interrogation to Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di.
"No, his purpose must be Chen Ning and Tu Jie, take him to Hu Weiyong to see if Hu Weiyong recognizes this person!" Ma Sanbao spoke, this person is definitely not here to save Chen Ning and Tu Jie in his judgment, his goal is definitely Hu Weiyong, otherwise their daytime supervision will be fake, this son is no different from the black-clothed man next to Zhu Li of the Third Highness in terms of clothes, as for why the officials of the Criminal Department can't recognize this person, the reason is very simple, the officials of the Criminal Department during the day and the officials of the Criminal Department at night are not the same batch, and the Criminal Department also needs to work in shifts, and no one can perform tasks in the Criminal Department without interruption.
It didn't take long for the scarred man in black to be pulled in front of Ma Sanbao, obviously the officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department used punishment on the man in black, just to extract some useful key information from the mouth of the man in black, the corner of the man in black was dripping blood, and the man in black gasped, "I haven't seen you, have I?" Can you judge me as a child? I have confessed, it was Chen Ning and Tujie who spent a lot of money to save me, what Hu Weiyong, I don't know. ”
"Take it to see Hu Weiyong!" Ma Sanbao instructed, beside him, Zhu Di did not have his previous enthusiasm, now Zhu Di is lowering his head, if there is a bed by his side, it is estimated that he can fall asleep directly, he did not sleep during the day, the night is deep, this prince is sleepy, his upper and lower eyelids are constantly trembling, and he keeps yawning to express his tiredness.
"Take care of the Fourth Highness." Ma Sanbao handed over Zhu Di to several officers and soldiers, and then took the man in black into the prison of the Criminal Department.
The environment of the prison of the Criminal Department is worse than that of the Nanjing City Prison, and before entering the prison, Ma Sanbao smelled the fishy smell and the sour musty smell in the air, which couldn't help but make him frown, and the environment in the prison almost suffocated him, but fortunately, the experience of his previous life was still there, and he quickly adjusted it, covering his face with his sleeves, and used it as a simple mask to protect himself.
Hu Weiyong's cell is more special than other cells, and Ma Sanbao found Hu Weiyong's room without the guidance of the officers and soldiers.
"Hu Weiyong, I'll recognize someone for you, do you recognize him?" When Ma Sanbao opened the door of the cell, he and the officers and soldiers around him sent the man in black to Hu Weiyong.
With the dim candlelight, Hu Weiyong raised his head, and when he saw that it was Ma Sanbao, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Ma Wenhe?" Are you satisfied, I'm a dying person anyway, you can ask casually, I'll say anything, there's nothing to be nostalgic about, just ask you not to deal with Pengju in the future. ”
"Prime Minister, I didn't mean to deal with you, but you also know that you sent someone to assassinate me three times and twice before, which made me look very passive, and then I had a counterattack, you can rest assured, as long as you testify for me, as long as Hu Pengju doesn't do anything too out of line with me in the future, I won't target him, after all, I don't even know where he is." Ma Sanbao responded with a smile, and together with the officers and soldiers, he lifted the head of the man in black.
"I don't know this person, what? Are you here to save me? There are too many people who want to save me, and I don't have to know every single one, maybe which young master is following me, right? Hu Weiyong smiled, his whole body exuded a foul smell, his hair was messy, his whole body was covered with mud, he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, there were several blood marks clearly visible on his body, he was imprisoned earlier, Hu Weiyong tried to break free from the chains, but he was scratched by the chains, leaving blood marks on his hands.
"What would you think if I said that he was someone close to His Royal Highness? I saw it with my own eyes during the day, and this son followed the side of the Third Highness! Ma Sanbao opened his mouth and said, frightened the man in black, and the man in black hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he was not the third prince Zhu Li's person.
The third prince Zhu Li's personality is very clear to the man in black, he was recruited by the third prince Zhu Li, but in their Jianghu circle, Zhu Li's reputation has long been spread, he doesn't want to provoke Zhu Li, and he doesn't want his family to be affected because of this incident.
"Third Highness? No way, I'm really here to protect Chen Ning and Tu Jie. The man in black vigorously denied it, and he was not willing to have a relationship with the Third Highness Zhu Li, once he had a relationship with Zhu Li, not to mention that Zhu Li sent comfort money to his family, even the safety of his family would become a threat, he would rather take his own life than save his wife and children.
"Ma Wenhe, don't ask him, even if he is, he won't say it, besides, there are quite a lot of attendants around the Third Highness, and the Third Highness is also good at recruiting talents, not everyone I know." Hu Weiyong opened his mouth and said, he looked at the man in black for a long time, since his death was learned, he also saw a lot, with his understanding of the Third Highness, it was no different from what the man in black thought.
"It's okay, I also see his worries, although I don't know the Third Highness, but I also know a thing or two, I can tell you, there is one person who can protect your whole family, that side is Your Majesty, if you report the Third Highness in front of Your Majesty, Your Highness will definitely not make a move against your family."
