After Chu Minghui finished speaking, a depressed expression rose on his face, to be honest, he hadn't put the Hongru Society in his eyes before, he thought that this was a literati society, who would have thought that the thoughts of those scholars and literati in the Hongru Society were so extreme, and they were able to do the act of kidnapping, and he would not have come to Yangzhou to visit friends.

"Oh, so that's the case, the emotional Hongru will exchange me for silver and exchange you for hostages." Liu Fan nodded, and then chatted with this Chu Minghui, the two of them had similar experiences, and at this time, they were all prisoners of the Hongru Society, plus the two were of the same age, so the conversation was also very speculative.

Through small talk, Liu Fan learned that Chu Minghui was one year older than himself, so he called him a brother, and Chu Minghui was also very free, and immediately recognized Liu Fan as a brother.

Seeing that Chu Minghui was about to cough every time he said a few words, Liu Fan was a little strange: "Brother Minghui, there seems to be something wrong with your body?" ”

"My name is wheezing, I have been suffering from it for more than ten years, and it has not worked with many famous doctors, and even the imperial doctor in the palace can't cure this disease, so I have no choice but to suppress it with drugs.

I had to take herbs once a day for this disease, and I hadn't taken medicine for two days since I was taken here, and now my body is getting more and more uncomfortable, and if I continue like this, it won't take me three days, and I'll die. After saying this, Chu Minghui coughed violently again.

"You read the name of the medicine to me, and I'll ask those people to help you get the medicine." Liu Fan said with concern.

"I don't know, in the past, those medicines were sent over after they were fried, and I never asked the name -------of the medicinal materials, alas, I knew that there would be today, and I used to remember the name of the medicine." A trace of annoyance flashed across Chu Minghui's face.

When Chu Minghui finished speaking, Liu Fan fell into deep thought, the strong man and the girl in purple took him captive, the purpose was to force the family to take money to ransom people, but when the family handed over the silver, would Hongru really let him go? What if those people repent? It's better to have your life in your own hands.

Thinking of this, Liu Fan glanced at Chu Minghui, told him his concerns, and then lowered his voice and said, "Brother Minghui, I may be able to help you get out of here, do you dare to give it a try with me?" ”

In fact, Chu Minghui's scruples in his heart are the same as Liu Fan's, what Liu Fan thought of, he actually thought of a long time ago, Hongru would lose so many people from the governor's yamen, would the other party really be willing to let him go? He was worried that after those people from the Hongru Society exchanged Wen Taoliu back, they would kill him.

Therefore, when he heard that Liu Fan could help him leave, Chu Minghui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he agreed without thinking about it, but then, Chu Minghui frowned again: "Brother, we don't even know what this place is, how can we run?" ”

After hearing this, Liu Fan smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Brother Chu, don't worry, as long as our brothers cooperate with each other, we will definitely be able to escape, before I came, I quietly remembered the route that the strong man walked, and when the time comes, we will work together to escape here."

After leaving, let's return to Yangzhou first, don't you have acquaintances in Yangzhou? You can go there to avoid the limelight, if it's inconvenient, you can also go to my house, as long as we go back to Yangzhou City, those people from the Hongru Society can't do anything about us. ”

"No problem, Yangzhou prefect Xiang Tutuo is my father's subordinate, he goes to the governor's door every year to ask my father for peace, so he knows me, and when he arrives in Yangzhou City, I asked him to send troops to clear the Hongru Society." Chu Minghui said lightly.

Hearing that Chu Minghui knew Xiang Tutuo, Liu Fan was slightly stunned, he had heard the wind recently, saying that the fat girl from the Xiang family was eyeing him again, so he asked tentatively: "Brother Minghui, let me ask you something, are you good to talk in front of Xiang Tutuo?" ”

"Of course, if he dares to disobey me, after returning home, I asked my father to remove him from the Yangzhou prefect and let his family go home to grow vegetables." When Chu Minghui said this, his face was calm and light.

Seeing Chu Minghui's confident expression, a trace of joy suddenly flashed on Liu Fan's face, and then he told Chu Minghui about Liu Baiyuan's marriage with the Xiang family, as well as his suicide by escaping marriage and jumping into the lake.

After speaking, Liu Fan said with a look of hope: "Recently, I heard that Sunflower is asking me everywhere, and it is estimated that I have no feelings for me, Brother Minghui, after returning to Yangzhou, can you do me a favor and let the fat girl in the Xiang family stop worrying about me?" ”

"Hahaha------ haha----- cough cough cough ----- cough cough ------" When Liu Fan finished talking about what happened, Chu Minghui was amazed when he heard that Liu Fan would rather commit suicide by jumping into the lake than marry Sunflower, he couldn't help laughing:

"Liu Fan, Liu Fan, I didn't expect you to have such a relationship with Xiang Tutuo's daughter. I've seen his daughter once, and that look of honor is really miserable, especially the big teeth when you smile, no wonder you choose to jump into the lake.

Don't worry, after I see Xiang Tutuo, I promise to help you break this fate, Brother Liu Fan, if you can really help me escape this crisis, I promise you with the honor of the Chu family, I will also help you once in the future when your Liu family is in trouble. ”

"Then I'll thank my brother first." After thanking Chu Minghui, Liu Fan came to Chu Minghui, put his hand to his ear, and whispered to him: "My plan is like this, later, I will bring the guards at the door over first......"

After the instructions, Liu Fan helped Chu Minghui to a position close to the door, stuffed a piece of firewood into his hand, and then, Liu Fan squatted down and leaned against the wall of the firewood room, and shouted weakly towards the door: "Is there anyone?" Someone's coming? I'm suffocating people......"

"What are you shouting? If he shouted again, he cut off his tongue. With a rough scolding, the door of the firewood room was pushed open, and a burly man with a meaty face walked in from the outside: "What are you yelling about? ”

Looking at the tower-like black man in front of him, Liu Fan was a little stunned, he was worried that the two of them would not be able to control this person, so he secretly complained, "Isn't Hongru a school?" How can you recruit all the reckless people? ”

Although he muttered in his heart, Liu Fan did not show the slightest abnormality on the surface, he deliberately approached the black man, and asked, "Dare to ask what the hero is called?" ”

"My name is Mu Richuan, why do you want this little doll to inquire about this?" The strong man said angrily.

"Listen to the accent, Brother Mu is from Shandong, right? This is really good, in fact, I am also from Shandong, Brother Mu, what are you doing from the door, why don't you come in and sit down? Brother Mu, can you help find something? Liu Fan used dialect to wrap almost.

"Tell me what's going on, I'm still busy standing guard." Mu Richuan was a little impatient: "Hurry up, what do you want?" After that, I'll take it? ”

"I want Miss." Liu Xu said with some embarrassment.

"What? Miss? I still want that thing, this is not a kiln, where is the young lady? Isn't it fun for me? After scolding, Mu Richuan wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Liu Fan hurriedly explained: "No, no, Mu Daxia, I misunderstood, the little solution I said is not the same thing as the young lady I said, the little solution I said refers to the release of the little hand, shhhh ”

After listening to Liu Fan's explanation, Mu Richuan's face turned red, and he reprimanded with some embarrassment: "It's not good for a bear child to speak, what is the point, I still have the leisure to drag the words." ”

After scolding and muttering a few words, Mu Richuan brought a wooden bucket from outside the door, and he bent down to put the bucket in front of Liu Fan, wanting Liu Fan to relieve himself here, but just as he wanted to speak, a gust of wind suddenly sounded behind him.

Hearing the abnormal movement behind him, Mu Richuan immediately alertly dodged sideways, but because he was bending over at this time and his body was in a half-squatting state, he didn't have time to dodge for a while, and with a "bang", Mu Richuan was hit with a stick on the back of his head.

This stick, Mu Richuan was a little dazed, turned his head to look, and saw Chu Minghui holding a piece of firewood in his hand, staring at himself with a wary face, seeing this, Mu Richuan was immediately angry, and he picked up a piece of firewood and was about to hit Chu Minghui.

But as soon as he turned around, before he could raise his hand, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his crotch, it was a heart-rending pain, and the sharp pain was so strong and so sudden that Mu Richuan's expression was distorted.

It turned out that it was Liu Fan who had just launched a fatal blow to his vital weakness from below, Mu Richuan covered his hands underneath, bent over and exhaled in pain, and then fainted in pain, and his body fell on the firewood pile, wrapped in a pile of firewood.

Glancing at Mu Richuan, Liu Fan threw the wooden stick in his hand casually, and then said in a sighing tone: "Tut-tut------- wood, Ri, and Chuan, sure enough, they are worn with wood in one day, and this name is really appropriate." ”

After putting down Mu Richuan, Chu Minghui stepped forward and took off Mu Richuan's coat, tore his clothes in two, and then put them on his body with Liu Fan in half, no way, their clothes were too eye-catching, and they had to cover up.

After putting on their clothes, the two gently opened the door of the firewood room, poked out, and saw that there was no one outside, the two quickly closed the door of the firewood room, walked out quickly, and came to the courtyard, seeing Chu Minghui standing in a daze with a blank face, not knowing where to go, he hurriedly dragged Chu Minghui aside:

"Brother Chu, it should be the backyard over there, under normal circumstances, the main house is built in the backyard, those people from the Hongru Society, at this time should be in the main room to discuss the affairs of the two of us, let's not alarm them, go to the southeast sixty-seven steps and turn left, I remember that the strong man who carried me squatted down at that time, it is estimated that there should be an arch there.

Eighty-six steps straight through the arch to the west, where it should be near the gate, there is a side room, there is a man in the side room who is in charge of guarding the door, the man has a smell of dry smoke, and he is wheezing when he walks, it must be an old man who is addicted to smoking, you go and get rid of him, subdue the man, and we can go out. ”

After explaining the route, the two quietly walked towards the gate, and after walking sixty-seven steps to the south, the two came to an arch, and then the two walked eighty-six steps west through the arch, there was a side room here, and the side room was next to the courtyard gate, at this time, there were bursts of coughing in the side room, and the smell of smoke could be faintly smelled.

Liu Fan and Chu Minghui gestured, Chu Minghui bowed his waist and quietly walked towards the side room, after a few breaths, Chu Minghui came out of the side room with a look of admiration: "Ahem----- brother----- ahem------- I obey you, you are really right, there is indeed an old man ----- ahem----- holding a cigarette stick." ”

After speaking, Chu Minghui and Liu Fan gently opened the courtyard door, and the two quietly slipped out and walked outside the gate, Chu Minghui not only did not have any surprises, but was a little dumbfounded.

Because there are some intricate alleys outside the courtyard gate, the houses are built like gossip maps, and the roads are similar to mazes, so he doesn't know which way to go?
