Chapter Eighty-Five: Bloody Night
Late at night, County Jail. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is not an important place, in the past, there were only a few night watchmen, but recently many people with status have been imprisoned here, and the jailers have to worry about snacks, and more people have been dispatched, and there will be guards on the periphery, which is a lot safer.
It's just that people's energy is limited after all, even if they take turns to keep vigil and stay in a certain place for a long time, without anything that can refresh their minds, the whole person will be confused. The first half of the night is fine, at least the person's body function has not reached the limit, and he can endure not to sleep, but in the second half of the night, it is often the most uncomfortable time...... Be more cautious in the middle of the night after the above explanation.
But alas, the nightmare is seductive......
The figure flashed suddenly, waking up the dozing soldier, looking left and right with the lamp, there was no one looking, scolding and returning to his original position again, always feeling that he was dazzled, after all, as a jailer, he was also a member of the official class, and the central superintendent of the post and the northern superintendent of the post seemed to have a lot of power, but after all, he was a petty official, in his eyes, the possibility of someone coming to rob the prison was not as high as Puxiang, Xu Heng and the like.
With that in mind, he leaned against the railing and continued to squint.
The next moment, the cold suddenly came, and a sleepy head fell, and both eyes were not opened...... Looking at the dead soldier, the man with the dagger made a gesture to signal everyone to be careful.
The lamp hanging on the railing shook slightly, reflecting this group of people, dressed in strong clothes, masked, unknown identity, and quickly dispersed after killing the soldiers, and then drew a gourd like a gourd, and the soldiers next to them were also eliminated, and slowly approached the gate of the county prison.
After a while, a man dressed as a military soldier walked over slowly, carried a lamp, approached the gate and knocked: "What about people, open the door?" ”
"Who, what's the noise?" There was a feeble response from inside.
"Men of the Night's Watch, shhh...... Don't make a sound, the situation is a little wrong, the boss asked me to come in to take a look at the situation, and I just noticed someone approaching outside. The warrior said, the lamp in his hand flickered, and his voice became deeper, "You are grinding, should you be here to rob the prison?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense." The people inside panicked, and soon there was a sound of walking, and with the sound of the iron lock shaking, soon, the door opened, and the jailer inside came out, "I'm not...... Wait, who are you? ”
"I'm ......" The soldier suddenly stepped forward to cover the other party's mouth, and with a slight slash of the dagger, the jailer suddenly stopped and struggled, and his body hung down, "Prison robber." ”
After doing all this, the warrior waved his hand outside, and soon, a group of masked men came over, and without speaking, cautiously slipped into the county jail.
……
The environment of the county prison is not good, some prison cells are not inhabited all year round, and there is no one to clean on weekdays, and when a person suddenly comes in, he has to face a thick layer of dust and damp rotten straw mats, not even bedding, and the summer is fine, but once it is winter, many people are often directly frozen to death.
Feng Xuan slept very restlessly, the small cell was closed, late at night, there was no light, and the jailer would not waste money on lamp oil here, so he was alone in the corner, he had never experienced such a poor environment, even if he was sleepy, he also slept for a while, woke up for a while, opened his eyes and looked around, and regretted following Huang Xian in his heart...... Before Xu Shen's death, Huang Xian and he were obviously close to Xu Shen, and the cold family was attached to the Shi clan, which was a very normal reason, but Xu Shen died, although he was indeed sad in his heart, but the opponent was the Wang family, which was obviously not something he could deal with, so he naturally couldn't afford to resist.
But after learning that Wang Ningzhi was going to succeed him as the Taishou, Huang Xian came to him, saying that he wanted to give Wang Ningzhi a dismissal, which was understandable, and the meaning of Huang Xian's words was just a toss, and he did not mean to avenge Xu Shen.
Regret, he was looking at a small black shadow in the corner of the wall, it was a mouse, and suddenly his eyes moistened, and he knocked on the wall hard, making a sound, trying to scare the mouse away.
Knock knock knock......
The sound of knocking on the wall was dull, but it was far enough to be heard in this lonely environment.
Suddenly, Feng Xuan looked up suddenly, he seemed to hear a sound of fast-moving footsteps, and soon, with the words "There is a voice", three people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cell.
"But Huang Xian or Feng Xuan?" The man outside asked.
"Who are you?" Feng Xuan asked cautiously.
"Are you ...... to save people?"
"Yes, I'm Feng Xuan."
"Good." The man outside drew a long knife.
It emits a faint silvery cold light......
……
Xu Lian was stimulated by a hint of blood, and when he opened his eyes, it was a little strange, and there seemed to be some rustling sounds next to him, but it was not from his parents' cell...... He remembered that during the day, there was a person who was locked in the cell next to him, and his name was not clear, but he was so scolding that he heard his identity, the central superintendent of Huiji County, and it seemed that he was also sent in by Wang Ningzhi.
He turned over and slept directly on the ground, making him sour, but fortunately, after such a period of time, he was gradually getting used to it, he leaned against the wall, the closer he got, the stronger the smell of blood, through the gap in the iron railing, he could see that something seemed to be flowing in the ground outside.
A look of surprise appeared on Xu Lian's face, he reached out and dipped the liquid outside, sent it to his nose and sniffed it - it was blood!
He shuddered and hit the iron fence with a thudding sound.
Then, a figure appeared outside, looking at him condescendingly.
"Shhhh The man whispered, and then beckoned to Xu Lian, "There are still jailers outside, I have to deal with them first, the key will be given to you first, you can see which one is right." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a string of jingling keys.
Xu Lian breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, walked over to get the key, and touched it, but found that he had touched a flat cold thing, and then, an explosive pain appeared in his chest.
His pupils suddenly dilated, and he slowly raised his hand, a puddle of black liquid.
It's blood......
……
"Are you done?"
"Alright."
In front of the dead body of a jailer, the masked men exchanged information with each other and confirmed that the matter was done, and the person who had changed into a warrior's costume at first paused for a moment and said, "You wait a little longer, and I'll come when I go." ”
"Why bother, if you do this, it will make it difficult for the above." Someone stopped.
"You can't be ungrateful, besides, I didn't say to save him, I just went to see, if you can't rest assured, then follow me, I won't speak." The man said, ignoring the others' thoughts, and turned and carried a lamp into the darkness, and after a few turns, came to a prison cell, where the dim light happened to illuminate the scene.
Pu Xiang, who was wearing a Taoist robe, was lying on the ground with a big grin, the Taoist robe was stained and sloppy, which made the person in the military uniform stunned, and bitter emotions filled his chest, his Adam's apple moved up and down, his mouth opened, but he didn't make a sound, just looked at the people inside in a daze.
After a while, he knelt down, kowtowed, hesitated for a moment, turned around and left without looking back.
The sound of gentle footsteps faded away, and the sleeping Puxiang rolled over and opened one eye......
……
The fire burned, starting from the central courtyard, because it was a wooden building, it spread rapidly, and after a while, it turned into a large sea of fire, whether it was a slave who had just woken up or had no time to escape, looking at the monstrous fire, trembling, trembling, trying to protect the child behind him, but it was too late, a large group of people with knives rushed in, facing a group of unarmed slaves and maids, it was completely crushing and killing.
Blood, fire, night.
The killing came suddenly, and the guards couldn't resist, not to mention the slaves and maids in the backyard, no one reminded them, and when the strong smell of blood came with the flames, it was obviously difficult to escape.
Ah Zou took a deep breath, heard the roars outside, the crying of children, listened to the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, his heart pounded, he searched everywhere for something that could be used, but there were only a few pieces of rotten wood, obviously under the sharp blade of the long knife, which could not be resisted.
"It's ...... Thatched house? ”
"Would you like to go in and have a look?"
The voice came, and at that moment, Ah Zou no longer hesitated, cautiously walked in, and immersed his body in the pit.
The two masked men carrying the lantern walked in and looked around, the long knife in their hands was still dripping with blood, and it dripped into the pit with two clicks.
Ah Zou poked his head out of the pit, wiped the foul smell off his face indiscriminately, opened his eyes, and raised his head in a daze:
- The sky lit up in an instant, and a moment later the rolling thunder whistled.
