Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Thrilling Night
The official was stunned, and after a while, he hurriedly said: "We have all arranged it, to ensure that there is no danger, they would never have thought that the principal would be in cell A." ”
Wei Ming smiled faintly, "I said that I won't leave, you don't need to persuade me anymore, please tell my brother, so that he doesn't have to worry about me, no matter how they torture, I can bear it, as long as he must protect his sister-in-law and nephews and nieces, and he must not be caught by them." ”
"Okay!"
The official had no choice but to leave the ointment to him, and took a pot of wine and a packet of braised vegetables and put them in front of him, "Childe rubs the medicine himself at night, if the wound is very painful, you might as well drink some wine, it will reduce the pain!" ”
With that, he relocked the cell and hurried out.
Wei Ming struggled to stand up, reached out and grabbed the flask, and laughed, "It's a good thing!" ”
Grunt, he threw his neck back and drank, flashing wolf-like eyes in the cell opposite him, watching him drink with bitter envy.
I don't know how long it has passed, the wine has attacked, but Ming has fallen asleep, the wine jug and the oil paper wrapped in the braised vegetables were stuffed into the haystack by him, from time to time the rat who knew Suosuo appeared, stole the remnants of the braised vegetables, a mouse was just about to drag the chicken neck at the door, but was killed by the death row prisoner opposite 'He! The death row inmate stared at the chicken's neck, his eyes almost bulging out, and at that moment, 'Whoa! With a loud bang, the iron door opened, and the death row prisoner retreated into the darkness.
This time it was not the jailer who patrolled, but the county lieutenant Wang, who was burly and tall, he was a retired officer, a native of Weiyang County, and had been the county lieutenant of Weiyang for three years, with no background backstage, he had always been an obscure small county official, following Zhang Rong's ass to do things behind, but he was not reconciled, he had been looking for the backstage, he wanted to take refuge in Xu Xuan, but he thought that Xu Yuan's official position was too low, just a long history, and it was not much better than him as a county lieutenant.
And this time, the squire of the Criminal Department inspected Donghai County, he finally waited for the opportunity, and also seized the opportunity, now he is Gao Heng's henchman, and even the posture of walking is different.
The county jail belongs to the direct jurisdiction of Wang County Lieutenant, he knows that this case is of great significance, quite uneasy, so he personally came to inspect, Wang County Lieutenant slowly walked to Wei Ming's cell, and looked coldly at this Hu Cao who was still in the limelight ten days ago, but today he has become a prisoner, covered in scars, and he has to sigh the cruelty of the power struggle.
Suddenly, County Lieutenant Wang smelled a smell of wine, he looked around strangely, and found that the accompanying jailer had a bottle of wine stuffed in his pocket, so he glared at the jailer fiercely, he turned around and was just about to leave, at this moment, a low voice came from the opposite cell, "My lord, they give him roast chicken and drink!" ”
County Lieutenant Wang was stunned for a moment, he turned his head sharply and stared at the death row inmate in the cell behind him, "What did you say?" ”
The jailer was furious, and was just about to beat him with a stick, but County Lieutenant Wang stopped him and asked the death row prisoner with a disheveled hair and a pitch-black body, "What did you just say, say it again!" ”
The death row prisoner's eyes flashed with jealousy, and he said slowly: "They gave him wine, gave him medicine, and gave him roast chicken, the chicken neck is at the feet of the adults, can you reward me!" ”
County Lieutenant Wang bent down and slowly picked up a piece of chicken neck, put it on his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly stared at the jailer viciously, "How do you explain it to me?" ”
The jailer lowered his head in fright, "My subordinates don't know!" ”
"You don't know? All the keys are in your hands, don't you know? ”
County Lieutenant Wang was furious and slapped the jailer hard, but the jailer didn't dare to dodge, and took a hard beating, and the corner of his eye swept viciously towards the death row inmate.
"Give me the key to this cell!"
Wang County Lieutenant had already realized that the problem was serious, and it was likely that Su Hanzhen's party had started to act, he wanted to take the key to Weiming's cell, and threw the chicken neck to the death row prisoner casually, so he left in a hurry, and he was going to report to Xu Yuan urgently.
The chicken's neck was not thrown into the cell, but bounced on the aisle outside, and the death row prisoner desperately touched the chicken's neck, his hand had just been caught, but a foot wearing a nailed leather boot stepped on his hand, and the death row prisoner slowly raised his head and saw a pair of extremely fierce eyes.
I heard a scream, and the chicken's neck and finger bones were trampled to pieces.
......... The real threat to Wei Ming's life does not come from the party of Gao Heng, the squire, on the contrary, but from within them, Chen Zhi has decided to kill Wei Ming in order to protect Su Hanzhen, and the killer Tianxing has arrived at the county prison, although he is also a shadow warrior, but his martial arts are much higher than Feng Chasing Clouds.
Tianxing had been in the prison for half an hour, and he already had a general understanding of the layout of the prison, and he had just caught a jailer and asked for the information he wanted.
He climbed the high wall like an ape, landed silently on the roof, and rushed along the snake-like circular ridge towards cell C, the roof of which was also made of boulders, from which it was impossible to enter, and had to break through the gate and take the jailer or the cell head hostage.
He brought a crossbow, which was a miniature military crossbow, tied to his arm, and powerful, which could shoot a poisoned arrow more than twenty steps away, and was usually covered by his sleeve, which was a very domineering hidden weapon.
Celestial Star had also worked this kind of crossbow, almost every shot, and he only had to go to Wei Ming's cell and shoot him in the cell with a single arrow.
Tianxing had a strong sense of direction, and he ran for a moment on the roof of the labyrinth-like prison cell, and he was already near the entrance of cell C, but at the moment when he was about to jump off the roof, he heard a "click!" in the dead of night. With a soft sound, a sharp short crossbow had already shot into the back of his head, and more than twenty paces away, Wu Jin, who was ambushed in the tree of cell B, was mercilessly killed.
Wu Jin has been staying near the prison, according to the plan, at the third watch, his brother Weiming will be transferred to cell A, and then he will perform a fake scene of breaking into the cell and robbing the prison, making people mistakenly think that Weiming was rescued by him.
But just now, he received a report from a beggar that a young man in black had come to the prison in the Assassin's Mansion, and Wu Jin immediately guessed that this man in black must be Tianxing, and he also knew very well what the purpose of Tianxing was coming.
In fact, what he said to Su Hanzhen was worried that Weiming would be wiped out, referring to Chen Zhi, only by killing Weiming, Su Hanzhen could be safe, this is a very simple truth, as for Weiming being charged with assassination from now on, the Huangfu family was wiped out, Chen Zhi will not take it to heart.
So for Wu Jin, his biggest enemy now is not Gao Heng and others, but his own people.
He arrived a quarter of an hour earlier than the Celestial Star, hid in a large tree in cell B, patiently waiting for the opportunity, when the Celestial Star appeared, he was not in a hurry, but aimed at him with a crossbow arrow, this time he switched to a short crossbow, and the steel balls would expose him.
When the star is running, he is like a leopard with full strength, paying attention to the movement in all directions, and the slightest movement cannot hide from his ears and eyes, and only when his attention is diverted, is the best opportunity to get off.
After leaving Ryukyu Island, Wujin's predecessor Silly Er returned to Qidi, was deceived by his second senior brother, and worked as a hired killer with the second senior brother for a year, and this year's killer experience also left the current Wujin with a little bit of special intuition that only killers have.
At the moment when Tianxing found the entrance of cell C and was about to jump down, his intuition told Wu Jin that this was the best opportunity, he did not hesitate to shoot five arrows in a row, especially the first two arrows, almost at the same time, he was not a warning, but a direct killer, ready to shoot an arrow through the back of his head, although he had a good relationship with Tianxing, but at this moment, his mind was very simple, Tianxing was his enemy, and he would not have any mercy when dealing with the enemy.
It's in the crossbow machine' click! When the sound sounded, Tianxing also heard, and then heard two wind sounds behind his head, one before and one after, he was taken aback, at this time his body had just jumped up, ordinary people in mid-air could not change direction, but Tianxing still did it, he instinctively tilted his head back, his strong body jumped in the air like a fish, a crossbow arrow flew past his ear, a hot pain.
But the direction of the second arrow was slightly off, as if it was missed, but it blocked the trajectory of the star's bouncing, 'Poof! With a thud, the short arrow struck him in the back, and with a muffled grunt, he fell down, and with a loud boom, he smashed the canopy and rolled down into the yard.
Someone in the courtyard shouted, "Who is it!" ”
Then a scream rang out, and Celestial Star endured the pain, climbed onto the roof, and ran as fast as he could, and a shout rang out from the prison, and the jailer and the prisoner shouted together.
Wu Jin had disappeared into the darkness without a sound, and he hid in cell A.
......... Just one moment before Wu Jin shot and injured Tianxing in the prison, six carriages rushed out of the Huangfu Mansion at the same time, heading in six different directions, and the three officials who were in charge of monitoring the Huangfu Mansion were suddenly dumbfounded, not knowing which carriage to track, and soon, the six carriages disappeared into the dark night.
The second carriage is to make the direction of the West City Gate, there are four people sitting in the carriage, in addition to Wujin's sister-in-law Qi Xinlan and Luo Luo Duoduo, there is another person is Chen Ying, she is responsible for protecting Weiming's wife and daughter, the best way to protect them is to move them to a safe place, so that Gao Heng's people have no way to start.
Qi Xinlan was silent all the way, her eyes were already crying and swollen, she only had deep worries about her husband in her heart, all her hopes were now pinned on Wu Jin's body, she no longer cared if her husband was still the head of the once beautiful household, and her husband's life safety was now more important than anything else.
Chen Ying held the long sword in one hand and Qi Xinlan's hand in the other, and comforted her in a low voice from time to time, with or without Jin protecting her in the prison, the eldest brother would definitely be safe.
The two little guys have also become very sensible, they sit obediently in the back row, they don't interject, they don't look around, they don't cry to their father, and the two little naughty eggs are very well-behaved at this time.
Duoduo glanced at this dark-skinned aunt with a sword, and asked timidly, "You..... Is it really better than my uncle? ”
In her little head, if they were better than her uncle, then they would be safe.
