Chapter 7: Stealing the Day

The situation developed along the route that Chu Tianya had already predetermined - not surprisingly, he was carried out of Tianyuan Temple by those sergeants, and then like a prisoner, he was escorted to the palace of Guangyang County in a very wolf manner.

"When you get to this place, you have to be honest, and if you dare to shout and kill you with a knife, it's like killing a chicken!" Several sergeants looked at him, all with murderous and ill intentions. One of them said: "Wait for me to report, and you will have a truthful answer later!" A little blackmail, a dead end! ”

Chu Tianya pretended to be frightened and agreed, thinking that these old soldiers were majestic when they cleaned up the ordinary people, but they didn't know what the situation was when they went into battle to fight? ――I'm like this, I wonder if I'll be able to meet Tong Guan? It is estimated that a small character like me will not be able to take Tong Guan personally......

Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, someone finally came to interrogate Chu Tianya, it was a personal general beside Tong Guan, named Ma Kuo. This person is born with five big and three thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there seems to be a fierce air around his body, most of which is a fighting general who has really been on the battlefield and cut off people's heads.

"Are you the prison city of Taiyuan Mansion? Ben will ask you, what do you know? Ma Kuo had obviously gotten the news for a long time, so he asked straight to the point.

Chu Tianya worked hard to make a small person, and when he saw the panic of the superiors, he added fuel and vinegar to Xue Yu's scolding again.

"Is that the bandit in the Seven Star Village of Taihang Mountain-Xue Yu?" Ma Kuoman was in a condescending posture, almost looking at Chu Tianya with his nostrils, and said in an urn voice, "The one who is known as Mei Xue Lang and the King of Drunken Knives?" ”

"That's right, it's him, it's him......" Chu Tianya said in a continuous voice.

Ma Kuoshen glanced at Chu Tianya, got up and walked to the inner hall without saying much, and threw a sentence before leaving, "Wait here." ”

Chu Tianya shook his head secretly, the officials and generals of the Great Song Dynasty were really full of officials.

After a long time of nearly one or two hours, seeing that the sky was almost dark and Chu Tianya's legs were about to go numb, Ma Kuo went and returned. This time, he retreated from everyone and said to Chu Tianya: "You small places, the people below, are really getting more and more incapable of doing things. ”

"Uh...... The villain doesn't understand, and asks General Ma to make it clear? Chu Tianya was a little happy in his heart, it seems that most of the other party has already sent someone to the prison to see it, and heard "Xue Yu scolding the child" with his own ears, and now he is going to order the means to take care of Xue Yu!

As early as before, Chu Tianya told Xue Yu to cooperate, just scold Tong Guan in prison, the more fierce the scolding, the better, and he was not afraid to greet his ancestors for eighteen generations. Moreover, don't forget to scold Tong Guan for the crimes when he led the army to destroy Liao in Hebei, that is Tong Guan's real death.

Most of these charges are not completely fabricated, and many of the generals who accompanied Tong Guan on the expedition were not fully aware of them, and they are now "highly classified". But these so-called secrets, for Chu Tianya, who came from later generations, can be checked with a click of the mouse on the Internet.

"Tsk!" Ma Kuo was really impatient, "When will a dull little official like you be able to get mixed up?" ”

Chu Tianya suddenly came to his senses, and leaned forward and whispered: "General, then Xue Yu slandered the court officials and insulted the princes and nobles, which is already a capital crime!" Besides, he was originally a thief leader on Taihang Mountain, and he was the heinous crime of rebellion, wouldn't it be a waste of food to keep him? ”

Ma Kuo was silent," he continued. ”

"The villain thinks that this person must not be kept, it is better to slaughter him with a knife!" Chu Tianya said in a low voice.

"If the law is above, how can you let people be careless?" Ma Kuo still had the same immobile demeanor, drinking tea slowly, and his tone was very arrogant.

Chu Tianya secretly despised Tong Guan, Ma Kuo and others in his heart, obviously he wanted to kill people and kill them, but he didn't even want to leave the slightest truth, he just wanted to pass the buck to the little officials below. As soon as the incident happens, there will be a black pot for the dead ghost - in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how many such things happen every day!

So, Chu Tianya was very "sensible" and began to offer advice, and said in a low voice: "In this camp, there are many epidemics and diseases every day, and almost every day there are prisoners who die of illness, or fight with each other and die, where can the law be controlled?" I see that Xue Yu is greedy for wine and lustful, and his body has already been hollowed out, and he looks like a sick and sick dead ghost, maybe 'tonight'...... I can't afford to be sick! ”

"Oh, really?" Ma Kuo said lightly, "How did you deal with the prisoners who died of illness in the prison?" ”

"But if there is a family, let the family take it back and bury it. If it is a lonely ghost, a straw mat is wrapped, and when no one is there in the middle of the night, it is dragged to the mass grave by a cart and thrown away. Within a few days, the corpse was eaten clean by the roe badger and wild dogs. Chu Tianya said, "Doing things in the prison city has always been like this, and no one has ever held it accountable. After all, birth, old age, sickness and death are common, we are in charge of the camp, and we are not the ones who open the pharmacy, where can we take care of a lot? ”

"Oh, that's it......" Ma Kuo replied casually, slapped his face, and immediately a pawn took a small bag of things and handed it to Ma Kuo.

Ma Kuo spread out the bag of things and put it on the table, still looking at Chu Tianya with his nose, and said, "This is a reward from the prince, take it!" ”

A pack of silver!

"Lord Xie, General Xie Ma!" Chu Tianya was overjoyed and put away the bag of silver.

At this time, Ma Kuo took out an iron card from his waist and handed it to Chu Tianya, saying, "This is a token for leaving the city at night, you can use it." At this time tomorrow, come here and return it to the general. ”

"Yes, yes......" Chu Tianya accepted the token, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: success!

"Remember, the tone is important, and the work is done firmly - you go!" Ma Kuo took up the tea cup again, drank tea by himself, and no longer looked at Chu Tianya.

"The villain quits." Chu Tianya bowed and thanked him for his resignation.

Ma Kuo frowned and looked at Chu Tianya's distant figure, shook his head and sighed, and whispered to himself: "It's a pity Xue Yu, a really good man......"

Chu Tianya left the county king's mansion and went straight home.

As expected, Bai Xu and the woman in white were already waiting for him in the backyard.

"How's it going over there? We're ready. Bai Xu pointed to a bag of things on the table in the hall with a fan, and sure enough, it was two pairs of Great Song soldiers' drapes and other things.

"δΈ€qiΔ“ι‘ΊlΓ¬." Chu Tianya said to Bai Xu, "Remember, tonight, the back gate of the prison city!" ”

Bai Xu smiled, and unfolded the folding fan with a "brush", "Listen to the order, see you or leave!" ”

The woman in white glanced at Bai Xu and Chu Tianya on the left and right, as if she had words, but she didn't say anything.

Bai Xu looked at her and smiled slightly: "What does the little sister want to say?" ”

The woman in white didn't answer, just looked at Chu Tianya, raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a puzzled face: "You really ...... Will it help us save people? ”

Chu Tianya was stunned at first, then smiled, shook his head, and walked towards his bedroom without saying a word. didn't look at the two of them again, closed the door and went to rest and recuperate.

"Fourth brother, he is very unreasonable." The voice of the woman in white was very calm, but the eyes revealed a little gloomy.

"Understand, understand." Bai Xu shook his fan slowly, and said with a smile, "Turning a blind eye, asking questions but not answering-Fifth sister, I'm afraid you have never suffered such courtesy, right?" ”

The woman in white frowned slightly, "Indeed." ”

"The overall situation is important, why should the little sister think so much?" Bai Xu smiled and said, "There are guest rooms on both sides of his hall, so please ask the little sister to rest." Enough to keep your spirits up, it's easy to do business at night. When the time comes, it will be clear to you. ”

"We're going to stay here?"

"Trust me, it's going to be fine."

As night fell, Chu Tianya changed into a soapy official uniform and prepared to go to the prison city to change shifts. Soon after he left home, Bai Xu and the others also took a large bag of military uniforms and other things, and quietly left in the night.

As soon as he arrived in the prison city, Jiang Laosan rushed forward and said to Chu Tianya: "Taibao, there is an accident in the prison city today!" ”

"What's the matter?" Chu Tianya asked.

Jiang Laosan was startled and said: "Then Xue Yu didn't know what he was crazy about, and he started to shout and scold loudly early in the morning, scolding not others, but ...... Now sitting in Taiyuan, the king of Guangyang County and the prince of Tong! I finally managed to plug his foul mouth. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, several military masters of the Shengjie Army suddenly came, and they asked to see Xue Yu by name. Ouch my mother, it's good not to see you, but it's bad when you see it! ”

Chu Tianya couldn't help but feel a tightening heart, "What's wrong?" ”

"Are those military masters good-tempered? They also had nothing to do, ripped off Xue Yu's mouth seal, and let him scold. Xue Yuke was born with a cheap bone and a strong temper, and in front of the military master of Shengjiejun, he angrily scolded Master Tong! Jiang Laosan said, "But those military masters are so annoyed that they beat Xue Yu badly!" Xue Yu is really an iron man, the harder he fights, the more fierce he scolds! In the end, when they were tired of fighting, those military masters lost their temper and left without saying a word. ”

Chu Tianya breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, they didn't pull out their knives and kill Xue Yu in a fit of rage! …… They probably won't do that, though. The more powerful the official, the more afraid he is of falling outside. For the sake of just one person, it is not worth Tong Guan to personally send someone to attack. That's what I expected...... It's just that it's hard for Xue Yu to suffer from this meal of flesh and skin!

Jiang Laosan glanced down at him, wiped his cold sweat nervously, and said in a low voice: "Taibao, you see that this Xue Yu has alarmed Master Tong, or we will ......."

"What do you want to do?" Chu Tianya saw his sneaky demeanor, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and said in his heart, Do you want to be Xue Yu too, and then go to Tong Guan to ask for merit and reward?

"Why don't we do a 'night party' and ask for a reward from Master Tong?" Jiang Laosan squeezed his eyebrows and said.

Depend on!

Chu Tianya scolded in his heart: You kid, it's so bad! Worse than me!

"Is it going to work, Taibao?"

"Idiot!" Chu Tianya gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice, "You also raised his head to ask for a reward, didn't you take a basin of dirty water and splash it on Master Tong?" ”

"Huh? …… The villain is stupid, and he still asks the Taibao for advice? Jiang Laosan said urgently.

Chu Tianya grinned, his face full of evil and greed, and said, "Let's talk about it at night, are you in a hurry?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Laosan was overjoyed -- 'Ye Guan' is to collect black money and help people kill people in prison, and such a big job requires someone from above to take the lead, so that it is easy to do things!

Chu Tianya also sneered in his heart: Jiang Laosan, Jiang Laosan, but you are insatiable and evil-hearted. Tong Guan and Ma Kuo asked me to take the black pot, but you took the initiative to dedicate yourself; If there's trouble, don't blame me!

Soon, Chu Tianya pretended to leave the prison city, and said to Jiang Laosan that he was going to prepare the materials for the 'Night Guard'. When he came back when he was young, he already had an extra pot of wine in his hand, so he gave it to Jiang Laosan.

"Take it in with the prison meal and give it to Xue Yu to eat and drink-that guy is a drunkard, don't be suspicious!"

"Yes, the villain will do it right away."

It can be seen that Jiang Laosan is used to doing this kind of business, and he came out to make an errand after a while, "Taibao, a qiΔ“shun lΓ¬!" Then Xue Yu was like a hungry ghost reincarnated, eating all the food and drinking the wine! ”

Chu Tianya said deliberately: "He didn't ask, why did he give him wine?" ”

Jiang Laosan was stunned, "It's good if a thief prisoner has something to eat, where does he dare to do it?" ”

Chu Tianya secretly laughed: If you die in the future, you will die stupidly!

Now that they had been fed the poisoned wine, the two of them carefully watched Xue Yu's movements. Not long after, Xue Yu in the prison suddenly yelled and scolded a few times, and then stopped moving.

"You stay here, I'll go in and find out the truth." After Chu Tianya finished ordering, he opened the iron door and went in. Where did Jiang Laosan dare not listen to Chu Tianya's orders, so he stayed outside and carefully controlled the wind.

After entering the prison, Chu Tianya did not light the torch, but hurriedly took out a bag of things that had been prepared, and smeared Xue Yu's face with a gesture, so as to draw a tragic picture of "poisoning to death".

"Xue Yu, I'll get you out now. Remember, no matter what happens along the way, I won't let you make a sound, you must not say anything! Chu Tianya said in the ear of Xue Yu, who was faking his death.

Xue Yu nodded lightly.

Only then did Chu Tianya walk to the door and greet Jiang Laosanyi. Jiang Laosan hurriedly flashed in, and the two of them rolled Xue Yu's body into a bundle with the broken mat in the cell, lifted it and left.

Some prisoners in the prison were awakened early, but none of them shouted loudly, presumably they had seen too much of this kind of work in the prison, and they turned a blind eye and were indifferent to the end.

The two of them carried Xue Yu's "corpse" straight out of the back door, and there was already a thatched cart waiting here. When Jiang Laosan saw that it was two sergeants of the Shengjie Army, he was immediately frightened, and said in a low voice: "Taibao, yes, yes......!" ”

"Shut up! You don't see anything! Chu Tianya bluffed, and said, "You go back and clean up the cell." Remember, this matter has to be revealed. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to earn half a penny reward, but your life will be put into it! ”

"Ahh …… Yes, yes! Jiang Laosan was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly ran back to the camp to clean up the mess.

Bai Xu and the woman in white made up as sergeants, wearing a wide Fan Yang felt hat to cover their heads and faces, and did not say a word from beginning to end in order not to show their stuffing. After Jiang Laosan left, Chu Tianya and the two of them hurriedly covered Xue Yu's body with thatch, and then dragged the cart out of the city.

On the way, they also encountered patrol officials, but seeing that it was Shengjiejun doing business, they all took a detour, and no one dared to come forward to ask. When he arrived at the gate of the big city gate of Taiyuan Mansion, Chu Tianya relied on the iron plate order given by Ma Kuo to open the city gate and go out of Taiyuan City without hindrance.

Along the way, Chu Tianya's nerves were highly tense and engrossed, a little bit like when he went out to arrest the murderer in his previous life. It is precisely because of this professional experience that he is very calm and calm, and he is not half flustered. This made Bai Xu and the two of them secretly surprised-because their own palms were breaking out in a cold sweat all the time.

It wasn't until he came to the Fenshui River that Chu Tianya stopped.

"Alright, I'll just send you here. It's almost dawn, and I'm going back on an errand. Chu Tianya finally let out a long breath, "Xue Yu, you can get up!" ”

Xue Yu, who was hiding in the grass, jumped up from the board car like a tanuki, turned over and landed in front of Chu Tianya in a chic and neat volley, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and worshipped, "The righteous man saves his life, Xue will never forget!" ”

Bai Xu finally settled down at this time, he took off the Fan Yang felt hat on his head and shook it as a fan, and said with a smile: "What a peerless trick of 'stealing the sky and changing the day', admire, admire!" ”.
