Chapter 13 Prison Break
In the face of this threat, Yang Chen immediately sneered: "You are already determined to harm me, do you think I will still have any concerns?" Besides, I've already killed one, and it's no different to kill two more! ”
The pressure on the two of them was obviously greater, and the man outside the door even unconsciously took a step back, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes. Yang Chen, who found this, was sure in his heart, and said with the situation: "But I can also have a lot of you, but you have to tell me the truth." Who framed me? Who's the order of you to do this to me? ”
"This ......" The two of them suddenly hesitated again, obviously the person behind the scenes who instructed them to do this extermination must have made them feel quite jealous, and even made them refuse to reveal each other's identities at such a moment.
Seeing this, Yang Chen's right hand holding the knife moved forward slightly: "My patience is very limited, if you don't want to say anything, don't blame me." As he spoke, the knife sliced into the other's skin, and a wisp of blood flowed down.
"I ...... I say! This person only felt that his throat was about to be cut, and the fear in his heart had reached its peak, and he didn't care about anything else, so he immediately shouted: "Yes......" As soon as the words came out, his face twitched, and then his body stiffened, and he fell straight down.
This change really caught Yang Chen off guard, he was holding the knife sideways, his face was full of surprise, and for a moment he didn't even know what to do. If the man outside the cell door had been able to do so, he would have had a good chance of winning. It's a pity that almost at the same moment, this person also made a few strange noises in his throat, and then fell to the ground.
"How so?" Yang Chen came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to check, and immediately found that the faces of the two of them had been covered with a layer of black gas, and there was also black blood flowing out of the seven orifices, which was really terrifying to look at. These two people were directly poisoned by the poison!
This discovery made Yang Chen frightened, and he hurriedly raised his knife in front of him, looked at the darkness in front of him vigilantly, and shouted at the other side at the same time: "Lao Huang, are you okay?" ”
"My lord, I'm fine...... What the hell is going on? Why did they die all of a sudden? Huang Feng's tone was also full of surprise.
"If I had been right, they would have been poisoned. Once they kill me, the people behind the scenes will kill them. Yang Chen quickly came to such a judgment. Since there was no one else in this prison, their deaths could only be attributed to this.
"So what's next?" Huang Feng asked a little blankly.
Yang Chen couldn't answer this question. If he felt that he was still innocent and could explain clearly in front of Zhu County's order before, then now that he killed a county official with his own hands and saw two people die before and after, it is very difficult to explain.
And what's even worse is that from what the man wanted to say before he died, it seems that someone in the county government is indeed framing him, and this person's identity is not low. This person may be a warden in the sixth room, or it may be the chief bookkeeper or the county Cheng Gao Ziyuan, or it may even be the county commander Zhu Xuan himself......
In such a situation where the exact identity of the main messenger behind the scenes is unknown, how can Yang Chen dare to believe that the county government can give him justice? Especially when he knew that this matter was related to the Great Wall that was being built, the uncertainty in his heart was even worse.
"I can't stay in prison anymore and wait to die, I must take the initiative to find out the truth of this case and clear my name!" Yang Chen raised his head suddenly, and he had already made up his mind in his heart.
After making up his mind, Yang Chen's whole state was completely different, and he immediately stepped out of the cell, even the iron chains on his feet did not hinder his movements, and soon passed through the long corridor and came to the place where the outside jailers were staying, but found that it was empty, and there was no one.
Obviously, in order to get rid of themselves, the three of them bought off the guards here early in the morning, so that people could take refuge for the time being. But that's fine, it's easier to do things yourself.
I saw that Yang Chen swept here at random, and found a long key. However, these keys are not shackled, but are intended for the cells inside. But this did not bother him, but he swiped it with his hand, straightened the wire that held the key, and then reached into the lock hole in the handcuffs and played with it.
Only a moment later, a soft click was heard, and the lock opened. Then, he repeated the same trick, using this thin wire to open the other handcuffs and the cuffs that bound his feet, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief and turned back with the wire and the key.
When Huang Feng saw him come back like this, he was obviously stunned: "My lord has good means, but he can't even trap you with these shackles." ”
"It's just a little bit of an insect carving skill I learned from someone else." As he spoke, Yang Chen had already opened the prison door, entered inside, and then looked at the other party and said, "What are your plans?" ”
"Huh?" Huang Feng was stunned again: "What do you mean?" ”
"Now I don't want to sit back and wait any longer, and I've decided to leave this place. But in this way, he will inevitably become a fugitive who kills people and escapes from prison. At least until the relevant evidence is found, there is no way to restore innocence. You have two choices, either come with me or stay here. ”
"I ......" Huang Feng's face suddenly showed a look of hesitation and entanglement, and after a while, he gritted his teeth: "Actually, this matter is all because of me, if I hadn't asked adults to help investigate this case, you wouldn't have fallen into such trouble at all." So I can't escape the blame for this. I'm willing to help adults find out the truth! ”
After hearing this answer, a smile appeared on Yang Chen's face, but he still reminded him: "You have to think about it, in this way, you and I will become important criminals pursued by the government, and it will not be easy in the future." ”
"I've decided, please help me untie this bondage!" As he spoke, he raised his hand.
Only then did Yang Chen follow what he said, skillfully untie the shackles with a wire to help him untie the shackles, and then said, "Let's go, let's get out of here and escape from the city." So saying, he turned and walked out, his steps light and fast.
Huang Feng hurriedly followed, and asked with some puzzlement: "My lord, why are we going out of the city?" In this case, can this case still be investigated? ”
"Now our top priority is to protect ourselves, and we can't fall into the hands of the government again, otherwise we won't be able to wash ourselves even if we jump into the Yellow River." Yang Chen whispered, the person had come to the entrance of the prison, and after pushing open the slightly heavy door, he looked out vigilantly.
It wasn't until he was sure it was safe outside that he made a few more efforts, pushing the door wider open enough for people to wear, and then dodged outside. Huang Feng also hurriedly followed him out, and then exhaled a long breath.
Even Yang Chen, after coming out of the prison to the outer room, also felt a sense of relaxation. Although he had only been locked up in prison for less than a day, coming out at this time still gave him a sense of freedom like a new life.
However, he did not soak in this sense of relaxation for long, and soon found the right direction, heading towards the wall on one side. Huang Feng also followed, and soon came to the wall that was more than one person high, only one jumped, one hand climbed, and then with the help of the two of them, the two of them had easily crossed the wall and came to the alley outside.
It was only at this time that they really escaped from the county government and officially became fugitives who would be arrested by the government with all their might.
"My lord, what are we going to do next?" After the initial relaxation, Huang Feng looked a little dazed again, and after glancing at Yang Chen, he asked softly.
Yang Chen looked at the surrounding environment, it was still late at night, and the entire small county was completely quiet, and there was hardly any figure in sight. After confirming his safety, he said, "Of course, I left here under the cover of night." ”
"Ah...... This ......" Huang Feng suddenly looked embarrassed, but Yang Chen didn't give him a chance to ask a question at all, bent down, and quickly jumped forward against the wall: "Follow me, be careful, don't be discovered." ”
Huang Feng could only follow closely behind him, groping his way forward in the dark. After only walking for a while, he was shocked to realize that Yang Chen was actually heading towards the north, which made him even more uneasy.
You know, this partial pass is an important pass on the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, once out of the pass, the outside is the vast desert grassland, is the territory of the Mongolian people.
If Yang Chen's purpose was to clear his grievances and find out the truth of the case, shouldn't he secretly investigate clues in the county seat, or go south to find credible officials to redress his grievances? How could he think of going north? Could it be that he ...... Huang Feng didn't dare to think deeply about the rest of the matter.
Yang Chen didn't know that the person behind him would have such strange thoughts because of his actions, he paid attention to the movements around him and kept moving forward. After avoiding a watchman and two groups of officers and soldiers who were patrolling the night, they finally came to the northwest corner of the city near a section of the city wall, and in front of them was the towering wall of the Great Wall, which was six or seven zhang high.
"Your Excellency...... Are you really going to leave the county from here? At this time, Huang Feng finally couldn't help it, and asked with a slight change in his face.
Yang Chen nodded: "Not bad." Because as far as I know, this is the easiest place to get out of Sekijo. As he spoke, he wanted to move forward.
"However, this is the territory of the Tartars...... Huang Feng said with an uneasy face.
Hearing this, Yang Chen understood: "You are also thinking too much, how can I betray Da Ming because of this?" I did it for another reason. As he spoke, he quickly surged towards the base of the black wall in front of him.
Huang Feng was obviously entangled again, and then quickly followed. Now, he seems to have no better choice than to believe in Yang Chen and follow him.
It's just that he still has a question in his heart, this high wall is in front of him, what can they rely on to get out of the city without ropes and other climbing tools?
