Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Shangguan invited to eat and drink, of course the subordinates were overjoyed, especially the little jailers, who were poor, they only had two meals a day, but today they were able to eat three meals, and there was wine and meat to eat, so they were happy. Serving diligently, his calves ran fast, and after about half an hour, the guys from the wine shop outside brought over a few tables of wine and food.

The jailer set up a few tables outside the prison for a while. Lord Huang Cao said that his brothers should be invited, and the guests should not be lazy, so they ate together. So they all said that Cao was angry.

After yelling three and drinking four, he ate it. The prison prisoner was careful, and when he heard Huang Junhan intentionally or unintentionally ask about the food in the prison, he immediately understood, summoned one of his subordinates, took a food plate, filled a few dishes, filled a pot of wine, and asked him to give it to Zhai Rang.

Everyone saw it in their eyes, and secretly said that Huang Cao was righteous, and respected him even more, and invited each other with wine. However, everyone has a tacit understanding and never mentions the word Zhai Rang.

Zhai Rang is a native of Dongjun, and the Zhai clan is deeply rooted in Dongjun and has a lot of power, so there are many people who cling to the Zhai clan and are sheltered. Now that Zhai Rang has an accident, with Zhai Rang's rampant black and white behavior, if you don't investigate, you will fall, so Zhai's defeat is a sure thing. The Zhai clan fell, the big tree fell, and the vines attached to the big tree or the branches and leaves closely connected with the big tree were inevitably affected, and many nobles and bureaucrats in Dongjun and even the surrounding counties were frightened and panicked all day long, and Zhai Rang and Zhai had become a nightmare that they could not get rid of.

The escort guards were favored for no reason, and seeing that the people in prison respected Lord Huang Cao a lot, they naturally did their best to flatter. Huang Junhan is very friendly, humble and courteous, and has the demeanor of a famous man who folds and hands over.

When the wine was hot and he called him a brother, he spoke casually, and the topic unconsciously turned to yesterday's Baimajin prisoner robbery. This is a hot topic at the moment, and the people of Whitehorse talk about it and enjoy it.

The guards did not hide it, they knew everything, and they said everything. They are from Zhuo County and belong to Zuo Yiweifu. These prisoners are all horse thieves and mountain bandits who are rampant in Northeast Province. The Eastern Crusade is imminent, and of course the counties in Northeast Province must rectify public order, and these horse thieves and mountain bandits have been arrested one after another. It stands to reason that these prisoners should be beheaded in Zhuo County, but the strange thing is that one of Zuo Yiwei's Ying Yang Mansions, which was the first to rush to Zhuo County to prepare for war, actually received an order from Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu, asking them to escort these prisoners to the Eastern Capital.

Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu is the current emperor's minister, the emperor's absolute confidant, and the supreme commander of Zuo Yiwei's mansion. It is extraordinary that such a powerful person should pay attention to such a small matter, and there must be a secret behind it.

The group of guards who were ordered to escort the prisoners first went south along the Yongji Canal by boat, intending to go to the eastern capital by water, which was fast, safe, and leisurely, but they were robbed and killed by several gangs of thieves after arriving in Hebei. Finally, after going through hardships and dangers, I arrived at Liyang, the capital of Wei County, which was very close to the east, thinking that it was all right, but I was caught off guard by a group of robbers, and even the boat was burned. I had no choice but to abandon the ship and take 6 roads, and asked the Wei County Government for help. When the Wei County Government saw the warrant of Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu, how dare he slack off, and immediately sent troops to escort them to Jinkou, and also sent an official ship to send them to the eastern capital. Unexpectedly, on the surface of the great river, they were robbed and killed by a gang of robbers. Forced to desperation, they had to dock at Baimajin nearby, and then there was a terrifying scene of yesterday's fierce battle at the dock.

Don't say that the White Horse people are puzzled, even this team of escort guards is also full of suspicions, what important people are hidden among the prisoners, and what important secrets are hidden, and they are chased and intercepted all the way to be chased and killed madly? Where did the gang of thieves who chased down the Yongji Canal come from? What is the "divine" direction? However, everyone knows that since this matter has the intervention of Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu, it must involve the great powers of the Eastern Capital, and these people who control the fate of Middle-earth are high and out of reach, how can these grass mustard ants sitting in the prison be able to understand? It's none of your business, hang high, since that's the case, let's continue to have fun.

The topic is still about the prisoner robbery, but this time the object of the idle talk is the white prisoner. The escort guards witnessed it with their own eyes, and they still have lingering palpitations, if it weren't for the knights of the White Horse Eagle Yang Mansion who came quickly, I am afraid that they would have been in a different place and became the soul of the white prisoner. Thinking that these days there is such a murderous and brutal death row prisoner hidden by the side of a group of brothers, and what is particularly absurd is that a group of brothers actually do their best to protect him, and even many people have paid for it with their lives, people can't help but be indignant and grit their teeth.

However, there is no way to avenge this revenge, and the supervising imperial history said that this group of death row prisoners should be sent to the eastern capital at any cost, and considering that the closer to the eastern capital, the more vicious the means of robbing prisoners and thieves may be, so the supervising imperial history has urgently reported to Zuo Yiwei's general Yuwenshu, asking him to send someone to Baima immediately to respond. It is not known whether the supervising Yushi is the person of Yuwenshu, but this is the best opportunity to get in touch with Yuwenshu, even if there is no supervision of Yushi, the White Horse County Shou will do this, after all, having a relationship with Yuwenshu is equivalent to paving a shortcut to promotion, who in the officialdom will miss such a God-given opportunity?

Someone asked, is the person the prisoner wants to kill a white prisoner?

Some people scoffed, white criminals, a striking white is his best identity mark, how can a robber admit his mistake?

Someone else asked, the white convict is so fierce and kills people like slaughtering dogs, he must not be a nameless person, he must be a notorious and vicious thief on the Northeast Road, I don't know if he has a household name?

As soon as the escort guards heard the excitement, a few men who were drinking on the head of Xing opened their throats and said.

When the Zhuo County Government handed over the prisoners, it informed them in detail to minimize the risks during the escort. The White Prisoner was one of the prisoners to be emphatically informed. No one knows his name, and no one knows his origin, two years ago he suddenly appeared outside the Saiwai, holding a long knife in his hand, burning, killing and plundering all kinds of evil, the border counties of Middle-earth and the tribes outside the Saiwai have joined forces to chase and kill, but they have repeatedly escaped, so his reputation has been greatly enhanced, and the thieves on the Northeast Road call him the knife brother.

Someone asked curiously, "He is all white, why is he still doing so evil, old man in the twilight?" ”

The escort guard burst into laughter, "Who said that a man with white hair is a dying old man?" Haven't you seen a boy with white hair? ”

The white horse people looked at each other in embarrassment. After a long time, the white prisoner turned out to be a big man with a white head. If you think about it carefully, you are embarrassed, you are shackled by habitual thinking, thinking that the white person must be an ancient old man, in fact, there are all kinds of strange things in the world, some people are black, some people are white, and there are long gold, red, and even one night white. When Wu Zixu, a famous general in the Spring and Autumn Period, fled from Chu State, he was white-headed overnight under Zhaoguan, which shows that there is indeed a thing, but it is very rare.

The conversation then shifted away from the white prisoners, and everyone began to talk with great interest about the upcoming expedition to Goguryeo. This is a major event that the people of Middle-earth are concerned about, and the first emperor made an expedition once, but returned in vain. This time, the emperor went on another expedition with the strength of the whole country, but unfortunately, before the war began, the north and south of the river were hit by floods, and millions of people were affected, which cast a shadow over the expedition to Goguryeo, and some even predicted that this was a bad omen.

Eating wine is eating wine, and routine patrols cannot be avoided. At very moments, everyone is very cautious, and no one wants to smash their jobs or lose their meals. Huang Junhan led by example and entered the cell with two guards and two jailers. As they passed through the white prisoner's cell, Huang Junhan and the two jailers deliberately slowed down their pace, trying to see the prisoner's face clearly to verify his true age.

The white convicts were doubled with double torture equipment, double their shackles and leg cuffs, and they were fastened to the wall bolts, which made their range of motion very limited. In the dim light, you could see the blood stains on his body, and the scattered white was also covered with blood. His face was covered by the long one, and he couldn't see it at all, in fact, even if he did, it was probably difficult to see the true face, because his face was also covered with blood. The foul smell mixed with the damp musty smell of the cell filled the air and was unusually pungent.

The three men who failed to satisfy their curiosity stopped in front of Zhai Rang's cell. Through the wooden fence, you can see Zhai Rang in prison uniform pacing with his hands in his hands, his demeanor is serene, and his demeanor is calm, as if he is strolling in his own back garden, which makes people feel admiration. Zhai Rang is in his forties, of medium stature, handsome and tough-looking, with deep and confident eyes, even in this extremely bad situation, he still maintains a calm demeanor, as if he is under control.

The food and wine sent had been eaten, but the food plate was lying quietly on the ground in the middle of the cell, and it was not placed outside the wooden fence to be taken away by the patrol guards as usual, which shows that Zhai Rang had a lot of conjectures and expectations for this plate of wine and food.

Zhai Rang stood still, turned his eyes to look outside the cell, and met Huang Junhan's eyes.

The two jailers were very clever, one took a few steps back to make a warning, the other opened the door to the cell, and then took a few steps forward, also making a vigilant gesture.

Huang Junhan stepped into the cell. Zhai Rang leaned over and picked up the food plate. The two of them spoke softly using the special code language within Fa Cao. Zhai Rang's brows gradually furrowed, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. Huang Junhan also looked solemn and worried.

Xu Shiyun's story is very good, thrilling, exciting, but the reality is very cruel, today there are not only more than a dozen felons in the White Horse Prison, but also a team of Xiao cavalry guards from Zuo Yiwei's Mansion, and two more regiments of Eagle Yang Guards, which can be described as heavily guarded, in this case, whether it is a prison escape or a prison robbery, it is absolutely impossible.

However, time is passing, Zhai Rang's life is getting shorter and shorter, and many people who are closely related to Zhai Rang's fate are being swallowed up by darkness.
