Chapter Ninety-Four: Arrested
In the Taishou Mansion, the chief bookkeeper Zhang Cong had just left, and Zhang Miao was close to Zhang Wei, the newly recognized "niece and son-in-law", when suddenly the guard Wang Guang ran in with a panicked look, fell to the ground on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: "Tell the adults that something is wrong, the prisoners in the prison have rebelled, and they have knocked out the jailers and escaped."
Zhang Wei was taken aback, and wanted to ask Situ Qing's whereabouts, but because this was Zhang Miao's general, as soon as the words reached his mouth, he forcibly held back.
After Zhang Miao heard the announcement, he couldn't help but turn pale, and shouted angrily: "Stupid minion, you can't even look at a prisoner, what's the use of you?" Come on, pull Wang Guang out, and take thirty heavy responsibilities! ”
Wang Guang has followed Zhang Miao for many years, and has always been Zhang Miao's confidant, he never thought that Zhang Miao actually moved his liver, so he hurriedly asked for help: "Lord forgiveness, Zhang Daxia forgiveness, General Fenwu forgiveness!" ”
Zhang Wei relented, sighed, and persuaded: "That's it, everyone has escaped, what's the use of punishing him?" What's more, that Situ Qing was extremely cunning, and he was also negligent, and he should not be handed over to ordinary soldiers to take care of, which gave this person a chance! ”
Seeing Zhang Wei's plea, Zhang Miao no longer insisted, and changed his tone and asked: "Who is the leader of this prisoner's escape?" ”
Wang Guang's face changed, and he replied in a whisper: "It is Zhang Daxia's prisoner, Situ Qing"
Zhang Miao was about to have another seizure, but Zhang Wei hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Without further ado, I will set off to catch him back immediately, I believe it should be too late!" ”
Lu Buhuo got up and said: "It's just right, a certain person likes to stretch his muscles and bones after drinking, so let a certain accompany Brother Zhang Wei to go together!" ”
Zhang Wei was overjoyed when he saw that Lu Bu was willing to help, and with such a powerful helper, ten more Situ Qing were not opponents.
Zhang Miao said apologetically: "Then there are two virtuous brothers, Wang Guang, pass on my general order, close the city on the same day, and strictly prohibit anyone from entering and exiting, until Situ Qing is brought to justice!" ”
The streets and alleys of the city are patrolled by guards, and the north gate of Chenliu City is the closest to the prison, which is the best choice for prisoners to escape.
Lu Bu and Zhang Wei went out of the Taishou Mansion and went straight to the north gate, the two of them had an excellent footpath, and they rushed to the foot of the city wall in less than a meal, but seeing that everything was normal here, the small colonel at the north gate knew Lu Bu and hurriedly greeted him, and said: "I don't know that General Fenwu is coming, and he is disappointed, and he hopes to forgive his sins, but I don't know that the general has brought the order of the Taishou?" ”
Lu Bu asked, "Are there any suspicious people passing by here?" Did someone force their way through? ”
"The villain has been guarding here for most of the night, and not even a bird has flown over, let alone a big living person! Moreover, Chen Liucheng is not better than other counties, the city is six feet high, unless someone has wings on his back, it will be difficult to pass! ”
Zhang Wei thought about it for a while, and then lifted his breath, his feet were empty, and he actually ran up three or four zhang high along the smooth city wall, and then fell down due to exhaustion.
Lu Bu couldn't help but praise Zhang Wei when he saw that Zhang Wei was agile and had excellent light skills.
Zhang Wei arched his hand to Lu Bu with a red face and said, "I am clumsy and make Brother Feng Xian laugh!" I have fought with Situ Qing, and with his skills, he will definitely not be able to cross the city wall, presumably he is still in the city! ”
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Then we will go to the prison, if they really take this route, we will definitely find out!" ”
The two of them rushed to the prison again, but this time it was much slower, and both of them extended their perception to the maximum, not wanting to miss a breath.
Not long after, at an intersection, seven or eight bodies were found, dressed in prison uniforms, all killed by sharp blades.
A bloodstain stretched towards the east city gate, and there were still some scattered bloody footprints next to it, Zhang Wei said in his heart: It's not good, Situ Qing is really cunning, and he actually changed the east gate!
The two went all the way east, and after a short walk, there were seven or eight corpses on the ground, with neat wounds, and they had also been killed by the same means.
The two of them felt strange in their hearts, but they did not stop for a moment, and they came to the east gate after a while, but they were startled by the scene in front of them, there were more than 100 corpses on the ground, and the blood flowed like a river, obviously there had just been a bloody battle here.
What made the two even more frightened was that both the prisoners and the soldiers were all killed in the same way, the defenders of the city were all annihilated, and a gap was opened in the city gate for only one person to walk, and it was dark outside, and it was difficult to trace it even if they were chased out of the city at this moment.
Lu Bu shouted: "Oops, we came one step too late, and we let this thief get away!" ”
Zhang Wei was also greatly annoyed, and finally forced Zhang Sheng's whereabouts, as soon as this person left, the True Heaven Sect was on guard, and it would be difficult to save people, not to mention that Zhang Sheng was fascinated by the True Heaven Sect, if there was no hostage to exchange antidotes with him, even if he was rescued, he would be a waste person, and he would be sad in vain!
The two of them were depressed, Wang Guang arrived with more than a dozen fast horses, he frowned slightly when he saw the corpse on the ground, and then immediately said to Zhang Wei with a smile:
"Zhang Daxia, your prisoner has been found!"
Zhang Wei saw that this person didn't have a trace of sympathy when he saw the tragic death of his colleague, but rushed to ask for credit, he didn't like it, and said coldly: "Lord Wang has a lot of credit, but I don't know where the thief is at this time?" ”
Wang Guang said with a flattering face: "This person is now trapped in the prison by the villain, and a hundred archers have been sent outside. ”
Zhang Wei asked, if Situ Qing was still in prison, then who killed these people? Could it be that there is another master? Moreover, since Situ Qing took the lead in escaping from prison, why was he the only one who refused to escape?
The joy on Wang Guang's face when he saw it was not like lying, not to mention how could such a snob dare to deceive the "niece and son-in-law" who was too newly-recognized!
Although Lu Bu didn't know what Zhang Wei was thinking, seeing that he was hesitating, he hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang Wei don't have to worry, we can see if the person in prison is Situ Qing, this matter should be sooner rather than later, if he is killed again, it will be difficult for us to find it again!" ”
Zhang Wei nodded, and returned to the prison with Wang Guang and the others, and at this time, the only exit from the prison was densely surrounded by armor soldiers and archers.
Zhang Weijing walked through the crowd and walked into the prison accompanied by Lu Bu, only to see the cell head and the jailer holding swords, surrounding a person menacingly, but no one dared to approach half a step, leaving a spacious open space between the two sides.
That person has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although he is a man, he has a bewitching atmosphere, who is it not Situ Qing? At this time, he was sitting at the jailer's table, munching on a roast chicken, and drinking two sips of wine from time to time, looking pleasant, not paying attention to the people around him!
Zhang Wei sat down opposite Situ Qing and asked, "Since you took the lead in escaping from prison, why didn't you leave?" ”
Situ Qing licked his fingers full of meat oil and said with a smile: "Who said that if you escape from prison, you must escape?" I've only been walking with you for more than half a month, but I haven't even taken a trace of meat, so I've come out to try the jailer's food! If I really want to leave, how can these people have the fate to want you to repay me? ”
