Chapter 21: The Robbery of Prison
In Pu Cao's opinion, it is really not a big deal, there are many people and crowded, and he didn't mean it, but Pu Cao didn't want to entangle with this man more, and he didn't pay for it again and again, and said to wipe the long-faced man clean.
Sometimes the teeth bite the tongue carelessly, how can so many people be so good, Pu Cao thought to herself.
The long-faced man refused to give up, sealed Pucao's collar, and pushed Pucao straight back. At this time, the two convoys staggered, and the pedestrians were crowded into the shops along the street, one was not careful, and the two lost their center of gravity together, fell into the rice shop, and knocked over a bag of rice with open pockets against the wall. The owner of the rice shop quit, shouted loudly not to trample on the rice, and dragged the two of them up with his buddy to ask for compensation.
The scene was chaotic for a while, seeing the rice shop shopkeeper pulling and pulling, the long-faced man was annoyed, and scolded in his mouth, "I will compensate you for your mother's leg", and knocked the shopkeeper to the ground with a palm, and the man saw that his shopkeeper was beaten, and picked up the flat shoulder of the rice and threw it towards the long-faced man, the long-faced man was very fierce, grabbed it with one hand, and the guy grabbed it a few times without moving, and then went to get the second flat shoulder.
The long-faced man threw the flat shoulder in his hand towards the guy, smashed the guy and brought down a seven or eight-year-old girl, the girl's forehead hit the rice bucket, swollen up one of the boss's bags, and the pain was so painful that the girl's mother hurriedly protected the girl, and scolded the girl in a bad mouth, and there was a mess in the shop.
Not long after, someone called the city captain, and the city captain did not drag the mud and water, and all of them were detained. Pu Cao saw the man with a tattoo on his neck squeeze to the long-faced man's side, took off the short blade from the long-faced man's waist, and stuffed it into the rice bucket of the rice shop.
Seeing that there were many lieutenants, the long-faced man did not dare to resist, so he made a gesture to the man with the tattoo on his neck, and was taken to the lieutenant prison with Pucao.
Castle Lord's Mansion.
"Good knife, really good knife, I can't imagine that I Qu can see such a good knife in my life, I am really gratified." An obese man in his mid-fifties sat on a chair and touched the twisted chief.
"If the lord of the mansion likes it, the villain has a way to keep this knife." The middle-aged man who looked like a master on the side said flatteringly.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, let's hear it." The fat mansion lord's eyes never left the Hangs.
Master Liu took a few steps forward and whispered in the mansion master's ear.
"It's a good way, but this kid is from Anlan Academy, won't it be a little troublesome?" The Mansion Master still had some doubts.
"My lord, it's hard to do it with a lot of people in the city, just a little means, clean it up, and when the time comes, you don't know it, isn't this knife an adult?" Master Liu is full of confidence.
"Okay, you go and handle this, remember, it's the Snitch who robbed the prison, and the Snitch killed. The snitch is cunning and wanders around, and his tracks are uncertain, but we still have to send more people to investigate in Shazhi City. The mansion master got up and paced, and slowly instructed Master Liu.
"What Master Qu said is, I'll do it immediately. My lord, do you see if I have informed those stolen families by the way, now the city lord's mansion is short of funds, and there is not enough manpower, if you want to recover the stolen goods from the thieves, you need them to contribute money and efforts, I don't know what your lordship thinks. ”
Master Liu's words made the fat city lord smile, "Okay, what Mr. Liu is planning is exactly what Qu thinks, please rest assured that if Qu can be promoted to Dingzhou Mu by the emperor's grace this time, he will find a better errand for Mr. Liu." ”
"Thank you for your love, and I wish you all the best in advance and your official fortune will be prosperous." Master Liu was excited, and hugged his fists again and again to thank him.
At this time, a plump woman with heavy makeup knocked on the door, the fat mansion lord waved his hand, Master Liu bowed down and took the door with him, and after a while, the woman was already sitting on the lap of the Qu mansion lord.
The lieutenant prison was under the city lord's mansion, and it was not seen in the daylight, and it was also necessary to hold the lamp for lighting during the day, and several guards and guards gathered around the staircase into the cell to say some pickled words, and from time to time let out laughter that all men understood.
The long-faced man banged on the cell door and shouted and asked why the lieutenant didn't deliver food after noon. The lieutenants ignored it, but the long-faced man did not stop, and even the other prisoners began to coax.
A lieutenant was talking about sex, and when the prisoners stirred up, the boss was unhappy and stretched his face. Seeing that their leaders were unhappy, several subordinates picked up the long sticks leaning against the wall, and stabbed them from cell to cell, asking the prisoners to be honest, focusing on the long-faced man who took the lead in making noise.
"Damn, Lao Tzu remembers you, you dogs, you greedy for Lao Tzu's silver and dare to beat Lao Tzu. Damn, when Lao Tzu goes out, I will definitely settle accounts with you," the long-faced man was ruthless in his mouth, and secretly swore that after the eldest brother rescued him, he would definitely torture these lieutenants to death.
The lieutenants were accustomed to being domineering, and when they saw that the long-faced man was not convinced, several of them opened the cell door and beat the long-faced man with shackles so that he couldn't get up for a long time.
Pu Cao was locked next to the long-faced man, in the innermost room of the cell, and he was a little sympathetic to the long-faced man who was beaten so badly. Pu Cao felt that she hadn't done anything again, and she should be able to go out after the hall, and she would be hungry for a meal, and it would not be a big deal. I wanted to sleep and carry my hunger, but I couldn't sleep because of the unpleasant smell in the cell.
After being caught by the captains today, all his belongings were searched, and the seventy or eighty taels of silver on the long-faced man were touched by the captains, and he lost the silver money of the rice shop owner and the noodle stall owner at the market price, and threw a few dimes of silver to the injured girl's mother, and the rest was put into the pocket of the leader of the captain.
Pu Cao's skein and bookbag were also put away, but fortunately, Pu Cao knew the truth of not revealing his wealth when he went out, so he hid the silver ticket in his inner pocket, and the lieutenant saw that he was a half-old boy and did not search his body.
Pu Caowei sat down, and I don't know how long it has been, the original lieutenant has changed shifts, how can the four bowls of noodles eaten in the morning last a day, and his stomach is hungry, thinking about why he can't ask the case. A few days ago, I was starving without money, but now I am hungry even if I have money, Pu Cao feels that this trip to the snowy mountains is so sad.
The lights in the cell flickered, Pu Cao heard a sound of unlocking from the staircase, and came in a middle-aged man in a long shirt covering his nose. The lieutenant called the other guards and whispered, and they all came out of the cell and locked the door from the outside.
Not long after, I heard another figure of a knife slashing iron lock at the staircase, and seven or eight men dressed in black with their faces covered entered the cell, and the lights were extinguished, and the cell was pitch black, and the prisoners who were locked up thought it was a prison robbery, and shouted loudly to let them out.
The man in black came directly to the cell of the long-faced man, cut open the prison door, and released the long-faced man, and the long-faced man was overjoyed and asked, "Did my eldest brother let you come?" Did the eldest brother come to Shazhi City? ”
The man in black didn't open his mouth, and then released the grass, and the long-faced man asked again, "Damn, why are you carrying such a burden?" ”
The man in black still didn't speak, dragging the grass and the long-faced man out.
Pu Cao thought in his heart that it was a group of long-faced men who came to the rescue, but why did he bring himself, if he was taken out by the man in black, he really couldn't tell if he turned back.
Pu Cao shouted, "Who are you, I won't go with you." "Hold on to the pillar of the cell and don't let go.
The man in black didn't care how Pucao struggled, broke Pucao's fingers and dragged it in the direction of the stairs.
The long-faced man also felt that something was wrong, if it was really sent by his eldest brother, he would not say a word, nor would he pull him like a prisoner. Besides, Lao Qi is in the city, if he came to save himself, according to Lao Qi's temper, he would have scolded himself a long time ago. So the long-faced man also hesitated a little, no longer like the excitement at the beginning.
The man in black didn't care what the long-faced man and Pu Cao thought, whoever didn't follow the two would take a knife and whip it back, and the long-faced man and Pu Cao had no choice but to follow this group of black-clothed people step by step.
On the ground, it took a while for Pucao to adapt to the fresh air, and the moonlight made the City Lord's Mansion bright, and the man in black took Pucao and the long-faced man to make several turns in the City Lord's Mansion and came to a small door. The man in black pulled the bolt of the door and went out of the city lord's mansion, two carriages were waiting outside the door, and the man in black divided Pucao and the long-faced man into two carriages, and Pucao was blindfolded and tied up immediately after getting into the car.
The carriage had gone a long way, and Pucao first heard the sound of the city gate opening, and then after walking for a while, the carriage jolted, and the sound of the wheels crushing the clods of earth kept coming to his ears, and he should have deviated from the avenue.
Pu Cao's mind was spinning rapidly, first, the route of the people walking was completely inconsistent with the route they took to the cell in the morning, and none of the soldiers standing guard in the mansion during the day were seen, so it stands to reason that the City Lord's Mansion would not be unattended, which was very strange. Second, Pu Cao didn't think that he had anything worthy of the attention of this group, the hanged chief and his bags were seized, and they didn't know about the silver tickets, so what was his intention to take him away? Thirdly, the ability of this group to open the gates at night is really not small, and they are sure and certainly have never known anyone of this ability in the city of Shazhi. Fourth, not to mention that Mr. Huo didn't know that he was arrested, even if it was someone arranged by Mr. Huo, he wouldn't be so troublesome, and the students of the Anlan Student Qi Realm grabbed a lot of them, and this wall couldn't stop them.
Pu Cao couldn't guess the purpose of the man in black, and he didn't know where to take him, but he knew that he must not be left to their control, and was thinking about how to get out, when the carriage stopped.
Pucao's blindfolds were removed, and the group of black-clothed men who did not speak carried Pucao out of the carriage, and in the moonlight, they could clearly see that there were one tomb after another around them, which seemed to be a mass grave outside the city.
"Before I die, I will let you take a look at this world, so that you can be a fool below, don't blame the brothers for being vicious, who let your things be taken by the city lord." A man in black drew his knife and said to Pucao and the long-faced man.
"Damn, Lao Tzu has something that the city lord has taken a fancy to, brother, as long as you let me go, my eldest brother will give you silver, a lot of silver, Lao Tzu is the eighth master of Jiuwang Mountain, let me go, otherwise my eldest brother will not be able to spare you." The long-faced man panicked and struggled.
And Pu Cao was thinking about how to break free from the rope in his hand and escape, no wonder this group of people wanted to bring themselves out, presumably the city lord took a fancy to the Twisted Chief Treasure Knife and sent people to kill people to seize the treasure.
"I didn't expect to catch a bandit from Jiuwang Mountain by mistake, hahaha, brothers, take the head to the city lord's mansion tomorrow to receive the reward, everyone has a share, hahaha." A man in black didn't expect an unexpected surprise tonight.
A group of black-clothed people became interested and asked for the confession of the long-faced man, so that he could prove that this person was from Jiuwang Mountain tomorrow.
Pu Cao took advantage of the moment when the man in black asked the long-faced man that no one was paying attention to him, pretending to be scared, fell to the ground crookedly, slowly moved to the side, and quietly grinded the rope on a stone tablet with a gap.
"Faster, faster." Pu Cao was sweating in a hurry.
