Volume 1 Xiao Guo Chapter 14 Risking death to rob prison
In front of the prison door of the Criminal Department, he covered his face with a white smile and white veil, stretched out his hand to show Xiao Sheng's token, and walked in calmly. Fu Xun hid in the grass and wiped his sweat nervously.
Bai Yi walked through the silent and decadent cell, looking at the mottled rust doors, the dirty and decadent faces of different people in each door were the same despair and dazed, Bai Yanxiao couldn't help but take a deep breath, her steps trembled and searched, and finally, in front of a dilapidated cell, she saw the person she was looking for - the eldest daughter of the Mu clan from another time and space, Mu Wanci. Her older sister who grew up with her.
Bai Yanxiao looked at the unformed Mu Wanci who was tortured in prison, and felt extremely sorry in her heart, the dignified eldest daughter of the Shui Clan, the heir of the five major clans of Xuanyan Country, they dared to treat her so far!
"Sister...... Bai Yan called with a smile.
The woman sitting in the corner raised her head blankly when she heard this, a pair of misty eyes were revealed under her messy hair, a little dirt on her pale face, and her chest was full of whip marks, and she was haggard. Mu Wanci looked in the direction of Bai Yanxiao, and after a while, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief: "Yaohua? ”
Bai Yanxiao choked up with a bitter smile in his chest, took a step forward, squinted his eyes and smiled hard: "Sister......"
Mu Wanci walked to the cell door with difficulty and stretched out her hand, seeing Bai Yanxiao's smile that was trying to rise, her hand froze suddenly, and she explored: "You are not Yaohua...... You are ......"
"I'm Ah Yan, sister."
Mu Wanci's eyes widened: "How can this be, your face ....."
"It was probably that when Yaohua and I fell into the sacrificial god river that day, we were repulsed into a curse, and when I woke up, it was Yaohua's face, and my face was also on her." Bai Yan smiled bitterly.
Mu Wanci said distressedly: "My stupid girl, it must have hurt a lot at that time, right?" ”
Hearing this, Bai Yanxiao's eyes became wet all of a sudden, and everyone only saw this world-shattering face, but only her sister really cared about whether she was in pain or not, took a breath, Bai Yanxiao shook her head: "My sister who is fine." I'm here to get you out! As he spoke, Bai Yanxiao picked up the knife he carried with him, and tried to cut the door lock, and the metal collided and rubbed out a little spark, but it was still not opened.
Mu Wanci suddenly pressed Bai Yanxiao's hand: "This is not as good as Xuanyan, the few countries on the Cloud Desolate Continent, you can just walk away like you think, rob the prison, you are also a death sentence, sister doesn't ask for anything else, as long as you live well." ”
"I don't want it! I have to take you away! Bai Yan smiled and red-eyed, and slashed the door lock like crazy.
"Don't even think about leaving!" A cold snort broke the silence, and at some point, the guards were already stunned, and a group of men in black came with knives.
"Ah Yan, let's go!" Sensing that the aura of danger was approaching, Mu Wanci pushed Bai Yanxiao hard, but Bai Yanxiao was only stunned for a moment, still slashing the door lock hard.
"Kill her, the master will be rewarded!" One person gave an order, and everyone hurriedly surrounded him, slashed at Bai Yanxiao, dodged sideways, and the blade slashed into the prison door, and several knives came horizontally, Bai Yanxiao turned over and avoided it, but was slashed in the shoulder by the sneak attacker behind him, and blood splashed suddenly.
"Ah Yan!" Mu Wanzi shouted.
Bai Yanxiao gritted his teeth, turned around and continued to cut the lock, and the iron lock splashed sparks again.
A sword stabbed him, Bai Yanxiao staggered a step, blood stains appeared on his legs, and he was still frantically slashing the door lock.
Behind her, an arrow was aimed at her eyebrow, ready to strike.
Shout! Bang!
The two fires in unison, and the arrows shot out of thin air, and at the same time, the iron lock fell in response. Bai Yanxiao dodged, and the arrow grazed his neck, leaving a bloody mark.
"Quick!" Bai Yanxiao picked up Mu Wanci and ran. The man in black behind him chased after him.
Bai Yanxiao quickly drew an arrow with a bow and shot at the man in black. An arrow went straight into the chest of the man in black, and an arrow was dodged by the man in black and shot straight into the wall.
The two of them ran to the door of the prison only to find that it seemed that they had been ambushed a long time ago, and a group of guards fell to the ground, but the prison was located in the middle of the mountain, and the rest of the place was empty except for the bottom of the mountain.
The man in black gradually surrounded the two, and the sound of the horses' hooves of the patrol guards under the mountain was faintly heard in the distance, but it was getting farther and farther away, suddenly, Mu Wanci preemptively rushed towards the man in black, only in an instant, the man in black raised his knife and stabbed her in the waist and abdomen, kicked again, and fell straight down the mountainside!
But Mu Wanci's eyes were a triumphant smile, revealing determination and shrewdness, just as she expected, the huge movement falling in the air alarmed the patrolling guards, and the guards suddenly looked up at the black-clothed man halfway up the mountain.
"Sister!" Bai Yanxiao exclaimed.
"Idiot!" The black-clothed leader glared fiercely at the man who had done it. Mu Wanci had already discovered the patrol guards, so she used her own life to preemptively attack, in order to be kicked down by them and alarm the guards, so that she could save Bai Yanxiao's life.
The black-clothed leader walked towards Bai Yan with his sword in hand, wanting to fight quickly. Bai Yanxiao took a step back and tripped to the ground, her wound torn, and the intense pain made her almost faint.
The leader saw the opportunity, suddenly rose into the air, flew up, and at the moment when the blade was about to fall, a white smile and a sword pierced the man's abdomen. After another step, he fell steadily into the horse's back with a smile on his face. The rest of the guards swarmed up and captured the man in black.
The moment before Bai Yanxiao fell into a coma, a pair of cool eyes turned out to be Shen Ning.
Shen Ning looked at Bai Yan and fainted, grabbed the woman in his arms, and rode away. The moonlight shone down, and the butterfly glass pendant on his waist emitted a dazzling blue light as if he had been bewitched......
Half an hour later, Xiao Sheng stood in front of the prison door of the Criminal Department, his eyes were heavy and he looked at the bloodstains, listening to the report quietly, his face becoming more and more heavy. In the middle of the night, he walked into the cell, and a striking short arrow was deeply inserted into the wall, and Xiao Sheng pulled it out and looked at it carefully.
"Lord Wang, Master Li from the Criminal Department has arrived." After all, robbing the prison is not a trivial matter, and the imperial court immediately ordered it to investigate.
"See the prince, as soon as the lower official received the news, he immediately came to investigate, but I didn't expect to let the robber escape, but I heard that the prisoner surnamed Mu fell off the cliff with a knife and was afraid that he would not survive, I didn't expect this assassin to be so bold and bring so many people to openly rob the prison!" Master Li said with a sigh.
"They're not in a group." Xiao Sheng took down the short arrow and stood with his hands in his hands.
"What?! What does this mean, Lord Wang? Master Li asked puzzled.
The murderer hired a killer to rob the prison, and one of the escapees should just happen to come to visit. Xiao Sheng glanced at the cell, and after making sure that there was no other evidence left by Bai Yanxiao, he "distorted" the truth with a straight face. is as smart as him, how could he not know that Bai Yanxiao was here to rob the prison, but he was afraid that he had encountered an accident, but he covered it up quietly.
"I'll write to Your Majesty later, leave this case to me, Lord Li is busy with official business, Xiao is willing to share, I don't know if my lord is willing?" Xiao Sheng looked at the distance lightly, obviously it was a discussion, but what he said was unquestionable.
"This ....." Master Li hesitated, but immediately bowed his head and said, "In this way, there will be Lord Lao." "Speaking of this, how can you refuse?
"Lord Wang, an accomplice was caught outside the door!" A guard reports.
"I'm not an accomplice! I'm just passing through! Pass by! It was Fu Xun, who was knocked out by the assassins outside the door at that time, who was busy explaining himself at this time.
Seeing Xiao Sheng walk out, Fu Xun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord Wang! Save Xiaobai! Someone is going to kill her! ”
Xiao Sheng glanced at Fu Xun lightly, disdain flashed in his eyes, and turned around and walked back. Leaving Fu Xun shouting behind him, Xiao Sheng didn't hear it.
"Lord Wang, what should he do? Looks like it's a friend of the White Maiden....." the guard asked inquiringly.
"Take it home."
As soon as Xiao Sheng stepped into the mansion, his wife Liu Yin couldn't wait to win: "Lord Wang, you're back, how are things going?" Then I heard that the white girl went to the prison of the criminal department, and then something happened over there, eh? What about the White Maiden? Didn't come back with you? "As the so-called thief has a weak heart, Liu Yin seems to be extremely enthusiastic.
Xiao Sheng's eyes hooked up a touch of cruelty, but he deliberately smiled and hugged Liu Yin and said: "Since she is gone, it doesn't matter what she does, it's better to die outside." The provincial people suspected that the prison robbery was related to her, and ruined the reputation of the palace. ”
When Liu Yin heard this, she was immediately overjoyed: "I thought the prince liked this white girl.....
"It's just a momentary novelty." Xiao Sheng interrupted.
Liu Yin snickered: "In this case, the prince doesn't have to worry about it, maybe she absconded in fear of crime." Liu Yin helped Xiao Sheng sit down, her eyelashes trembling unnaturally.
"But the assassins who have been caught have already confessed to the murderers, and I don't know how much it will cost to invite these murderers?" Xiao Sheng said quietly.
Hearing this, Liu Yin's hand holding the tea shook, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.
"What happened, when did you become so reckless Liu Yin?" On the side, Huang Qiang came over and reprimanded.
Xiao Sheng looked at Huang Qiang: "You came just in time, I have already asked Song to personally deal with the prison robbery, you said that if the murderer is caught, how should I deal with it?" ”
Huang Qiang groaned: "It is said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, since the prince asked, the concubine has the courage to say, the murderer should dig up the skin and dig the bones, and punish the big commandment, in order to establish the prestige of the prince." ”
Liu Yin suddenly sat on the ground after hearing this, and said tremblingly: "Lord, I ......"
"Huh? Why did you kneel, could it be that you are the murderer? Xiao Sheng explored.
Liu Yin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no, it's not me!" ”
"Then tell me, if this murderer is caught, what should be done?"
"The ..... It should be the same as the princess said, and ..... Peel the skin and dig the bones......" Liu Yin stood up and said tremblingly.
"Okay, that's what you want. Someone, pull her out, peel her skin and dig up her bones! Xiao Sheng's eyes froze, and he suddenly said sharply.
"What!" Liu Yin's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, "It's not me, Lord Wang!" Not me! ”
"So what is this? Has the lady been short of money lately, so she went to the point of looking for a maid to sell it? Xiao Sheng took a box from Chunhua's hand and opened it, full of jewelry. It was the jewelry that Liu Yin had ordered to be sold before in order to avoid being suspected of using the money in the house.
"No, lord, no!" Liu Yin cried.
"Your maid has confessed, what else do you have to say?" Huang Qiang waved her hand, and a beaten maid who was not in human shape was dragged out.
In the same palace, Liu Yin didn't even know when Huang Qiang made a move on her maid.
"Lord Wang, listen to my explanation......" Liu Yin climbed to Xiao Sheng's feet and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Mrs. Liu bribed the killer to rob the prison and disrupt the order in the palace, so she will leave the palace from now on, hand over to the Criminal Department for detention, and be beheaded at a later date." Xiao Sheng said lightly, his flat voice was emotionless, as if he was just dealing with a person who had nothing to do with him.
"Don't! Rajah! Liu Yin begged for mercy, but Xiao Sheng was unmoved, for a long time, Liu Yin suddenly smiled sadly and looked at Xiao Sheng: "You just want to protect that slut to make me guilty!" Cursed are you, that you shall not die well! That slut will never be able to live forever! The sound of tearing resounded throughout the palace, Xiao Sheng's eyes froze, the brocade box in his hand loosened, and smashed straight on Liu Yin's forehead, and Liu Yin's blood flowed immediately.
"Don't hurry up and drag it out!" Huang Qiang spoke, and a group of waiters dragged Liu Yin away. Liu Yin's mournful frown faded away, but it gave people a sense of gloom. Being divorced from the palace is a great shame for a woman, not to mention that there is no possibility of survival if she is sent to the prison of the Criminal Department by Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng turned around tiredly, leaving a room of female relatives without a word, and only gave birth to a sense of desolation of the dead rabbit and the fox.
Until the people gradually dispersed, Chunhua stepped forward: "Princess, this Liu family must not have imagined that you would redeem the box and hand it over to the prince, the princess really moved the roots of the Liu family without a single soldier." not only helped the prince shake Lord Liu's status in the court, but also allowed the princess to have an opponent in the palace. I'm afraid that the Liu family doesn't know what his father has done now, and he still relies on the family power to fight for the tiger! ”
Huang Qiang's eyes hooked a sneer: "Lord Liu wants to collude with the party under the eyes of the prince, win over the officials, and oppose my father in private. ”
