Chapter 723: Prisoner Robbery (I)
Just as the White Lotus Sect had obtained information, early in the morning of May 27, thousands of officers and soldiers gathered in front of the Jinyi Guard's Yamen in Nanjing, and soon after, two prisoner vans each came out of the gate under the escort of more than 100 Jinyi guards.
After a little handover, the two prisoner cars were handed over to the two officers and soldiers, and they did not delay, they immediately escorted the prisoner carts, and slowly walked towards the city gate under the curious eyes of the surrounding people.
In the crowd, several White Lotus Sect eyes and ears watched all this from a distance, knowing that the government had indeed escorted their own sect leader to set off. Although there was still a distance between them, and the people in the prisoner car could barely see their faces clearly, they still quickly withdrew and prepared to report the truth.
More than half an hour later, the procession of prisoner vans escorted by 5 or 600 officers and soldiers officially left Nanjing, one along the official road to the north, and the other along the canal and waterway by boat.
Half a day later, the news entered Yangzhou City one step earlier than them, and the White Lotus Sect members who had already prepared quickly moved, especially Xu Qinglian's manpower all the way, and they set off immediately, hurrying towards the north, they were going to set a trap in front of the official army at the post station that must be passed.
The group of more than 20 people rushed day and night for two days, and soon arrived at this official post station located on the edge of the official road. At this time, it is dusk, and there are still many merchants from the north and south in the post station. As soon as he saw that there were more than 20 people coming down, the guy who greeted the person unconsciously showed a hint of joy, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet and speak.
After a while, the few of them entered the post station smoothly. In the past, post stations with official status would not have received ordinary guests at all, but only served officials who came and went. But now that the world has changed early, these post stations have long been no different from ordinary inns in order to make profits.
Most of the people stayed at the inn that night. But these people never dreamed that the government-run post station that they thought would be safer would become a place where they would want their own lives tonight. After the third watch, more than a dozen figures quietly came out, and after a while, a corpse was dragged out of the room and hastily buried in the open space behind.
Then, under the command of Xu Qinglian, these assailants cleaned up and covered up the blood stains and other things left behind, and when it was dawn, the post station was restored to its original state, and the pedestrians who passed by in the morning did not notice anything wrong with it at all.
Taking advantage of the fact that the target had not yet arrived, Xu Qinglian carefully inspected the inside and outside of the post station, and then uncovered a jar of drugged wine that had already been drugged, and sniffed inside: "They shouldn't be able to taste the strangeness in this wine, right?" β
"Young master, rest assured, what is in this wine is the soft tendon powder made by my Holy Sect a few years ago, this medicine is colorless and tasteless, and it is much stronger than ordinary sweat medicine. As long as they take a few sips, they will be soft and will have to be slaughtered by us. So even if a few hundred people come, there is still no need to worry. Ye Huan, who was specially brought by him, replied with a smile.
"Okay, tell everyone to be careful, and don't show any flaws before they drink these medicinal wines." Xu Qinglian admonished again.
"Many of the brothers who came with the young master this time have done things in the inn, so naturally they can't see the problem." Ye Huan explained again. Hearing him say this, Xu Qinglian finally showed a satisfied smile: "Okay, if you can really come out of your father this time, I will count your first credit." β
After a few words, they didn't want to say any more. Because as time went by, there were passing guests who entered the post station to rest. In the face of these people, the White Lotus Sect, who had already changed into the clothes of the people in the post station, was really skilled, serving tea, water, preparing wine and meals and so on in an orderly manner, and did not let others see any problems at all.
After waiting like this for two days, the disciples who stayed outside rushed back: "Young master, they are here!" We're ten miles away now, and it won't be long before we get there. β
"Oh? God help me! Hearing this, after looking up at the already dark sky, Xu Qinglian said with a happy face. Originally, I was worried that the other party would not be able to start because he passed by here during the day, but now I don't have that concern. For if they do not stay in this inn, and go any further, they will have to spend the night in the open. And these people have a heavy responsibility, and for the sake of safety, they will definitely choose to sleep in the government-run post station for one night.
Sure enough, in less than an hour, there was a noisy and noisy sound outside, and Xu Qinglian, who had pretended to be a junior official at the post station, hurriedly greeted him with a smile on her face, and greeted a general in front of her while bowing her hand: "Dare to ask where you adults are from?" Can you have a proclamation from the imperial court? β
does a full set of acts, and even talks to people, he uses the habits of officialdom. These government-run post stations naturally charge money for entertaining ordinary guests, but if they are replaced by people in the government, especially those with yamen proclamations, they will be allowed to stay and eat for free.
The leader raised his head a little arrogantly: "We are escorting the prisoners from Nanjing to Beijing City, do you think there will be no official notice?" With just a wave of his hand, a soldier showed the relevant documents and handed them to Xu Qinglian.
Xu Qinglian hurriedly stretched out her hand to take it, pretending to look at the content above, but her eyes were actually peeking at the prisoner car behind them and the prisoners on the prisoner car.
This prisoner's cart looks really not small, it is more than a person tall, and the wooden fence on it is also the thickness of an arm, so it is not so easy to break free from at first glance. The prisoner's body was covered with thumb-thick chains, and he was locked to death, as if he was afraid that he would escape.
However, the appearance of the prisoner was not very real because his beard was hanging down, covering his face, and there was some distance. Judging from his size alone, he is indeed like his father Xu Ziyang.
This made Xu Qinglian's heart beat faster, and the person hesitated for a moment, until the general in front of him spoke impatiently: "Have you finished reading it?" We've been walking for a day, and we want to go in and eat. β
"Forgive sins, forgive sins, but the villain is snubbing." Xu Qinglian hurriedly pressed the emotions in her heart, smiled and bowed down to invite the generals led by them into the door. As for the other hundreds of soldiers, the higher ones can naturally go in, and the lower ones can only be arranged to rest in the courtyard.
Although this post station is not small, it can arrange more than 100 guests to stay, but more than 500 people come at once, and naturally they can't stay. Fortunately, the general didn't care too much about this, and in the face of Xu Qinglian's words, he just waved his hand: "This is nothing, we just have someone who wants to guard the prisoner, and we don't dare to slack off at night, so let the brothers take turns to rest for half the night." But you have to prepare enough wine, meat, and food, or I won't spare you. β
"Don't worry, general, the villain must have enough food and wine here." Xu Qinglian saw that he was asking for wine when he opened his mouth, and she was even more happy in her heart, and gave the person next to her a look, who understood, and hurriedly went to the back and brought a jar of wine that had already been medicated.
Subsequently, some meat and vegetarian dishes in the back kitchen were also quickly served, and soon they were put on the table, plus a drawer of steamed steamed buns.
Seeing this, the general smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, your post station is much better than the one we stayed in before, and you should really be praised for preparing so well." Don't worry, when I return to Nanjing, I will definitely report to Wei Guogong truthfully. β
"Thank you, General, for lifting up." Xu Qinglian hurriedly thanked him, and saw that the other party was holding a wine bowl and hadn't drunk it, so she persuaded again: "The general has worked hard all the way, so let's drink a full cup first and go to fatigue." β
"You're right, General Ben really needs to drink a bowl of wine to quench his thirst." As he spoke, he raised his hand and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
And with his action, the people below finally let go of their restraints, and stuffed the wine and meat steamed buns into their mouths with a smile. The wind swept like a cloud, and soon the wine and food on the table were almost all eaten by these people.
After Xu Qinglian saw these people eating all the things without any worries, she felt a burst of pride in her heart. It seems that his calculation has indeed succeeded, as long as his father is really in the prisoner car outside, he can be rescued smoothly. Now he only had to wait for a few more moments, wait for the drug to attack, and then he could kill and save peopleβhe didn't plan to let go of these Ming Court's lackeys, eagles.
Just as he glanced at these generals who were constantly eating meat and drinking, a voice suddenly sounded from his side: "This lord is invited." β
This sudden greeting around Xu Qinglian was really startled, and then she came back to her senses, glanced at the other party, and found that this was a man in his thirties, burly, no different from ordinary military generals, the only difference was that he only had a steamed bun in his hand, and he didn't hold a wine bowl.
"Don't dare to be, I'm not an adult." Xu Qinglian said perfunctorily casually.
"The post man of the imperial court post station is an eight-rank official, and he can be called an adult anyway." The other party grinned: "I just want to ask for advice on something." β
"Please." Somehow, being looked at by the other party like this, Xu Qinglian suddenly felt a burst of nervousness, as if she had been seen through by her.
"I've traveled back and forth between the north and the south several times before, and I've lived in this post no less than three or five times.
"This ...... He was dismissed because of something, so I naturally took the errand. Xu Qinglian hurriedly replied.
"Really? So why did the other people in this station become strangers too? The man narrowed his eyes and asked a new question......
