Chapter Eighty-Four Arrested
The prison in Qingxi County was already empty at this time, and all the local officials had already let them go, and the main culprit, Li Xin, had also escaped.
The rest are the heroes who were arrested before, these heroes are lazily lying in the prison at the moment, waiting for them is to verify their identity, punish the guilty, and detain the innocent for a few days.
Hao Jian doesn't have the time to deal with these heroes now, after all, it is important that Li Xin escaped.
Because he was worried about the Qingxi County officials, Hao Jian asked the Praetorian Guards to take care of the prison from the beginning, but what worried him still happened, and Li Xin disappeared in broad daylight.
The prison was already full of people at this time, all of them were soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, and it seemed that they were also full of doubts about Li Xin's disappearance.
"What's going on?"
Hao Jian still asked curiously towards a small leader beside him.
"Lord Hao," seeing that it was Hao Jian, the Praetorian Guard soldier frowned, and then sighed: "We don't know about this, it's still good at noon today, but they are all gone in the blink of an eye." ”
The people in the mouth of this boss are Li Xin and others, who were all carefully selected by Hao Jian to be corrupt and imprisoned together for the convenience of management.
But no one thought that the boiled duck would fly like this.
Even Hao Jian had an idea a long time ago, worried that someone who supported Li Xin would rescue Li Xin or release Li Xin.
"You mean, they just disappeared into thin air?"
Hao Jian frowned, this prison is very solid, although it is the same tiled house, but the surrounding walls are all made of stone, which is very solid.
It was impossible to penetrate the wall, and Hao Jian found no trace of the wall being destroyed.
"Yes, we don't know what's going on, it's just a blink of an eye, I just went out to get a few things, and when I came back, they were gone."
Even the guards didn't believe that so many people had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Hearing this, Hao Jian also frowned, the surrounding walls were not destroyed, the gate was heavily guarded, and they did not enter or exit from the gate, could it be that a group of people were playing something big and changing people?
"Look, Lord Hao. The lock is still in good condition, and there is no sign of opening it at all. ”
In order to confirm his words, the guard walked to the old door and shook the lock and chain a few times.
Walking in front of him and looking at the lock, Hao Jian also touched it, and there was indeed no trace of being pried open.
"Weird, how did this disappear?"
Li Daozheng on the side frowned, he had never seen such a thing, and there were still people locked in a cell in broad daylight and disappeared.
In normal times, Li Daozheng would have absolutely reason to believe that the guards let them go, but this time the guards were all Praetorian Guards, and they were all reliable candidates, so they could not be bribed.
"Lord Hao, don't check, then Li Xin, Li Xiancheng is a practitioner, you know the bone shrinking skills, he is an expert inside!"
At this time, one of the people in the rivers and lakes who was being imprisoned on the side looked lazily at the mouth, and at the same time showed an expression of "If you come to beg me, I will tell you the truth", he looked very unbeaten.
Hao Jian glanced at the man: "Go back and cultivate your Sunflower Treasure Book well!" I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you. ”
Talking nonsense with that group of so-called masters of the rivers and lakes is obviously a waste of time, Hao Jian has been deceived once, and this time he won't.
"There is an authentic, open the door and let's go in and have a look."
Secret passage, this is one of the options for escape, stealthy and fast, and more importantly, safe, and can delay the capture time of others.
This cell seems to be impregnable, but there is a door to the ground, and as long as you dig a tunnel from below, you can enter and exit freely.
"yes, why didn't I think of that!"
Hearing this, Li Daozheng patted his head, nodded, and responded to Hao Jian's voice, asking them to open the door quickly and go in to investigate.
The door was soon opened, and the cell was very large, nearly ten square meters, and it was no problem to squat in it for one or twenty people.
The cells were surrounded by either stone walls or solid wood fences, which kept the prisoners trapped inside.
The ground is a compacted earth, sprinkled with straw, for a peaceful sleep. Because of their special status, Li Xin deliberately laid out a few mats.
"Knock the ground and listen to the sound!"
Inside, Daochang Li ordered the group of Praetorian Guards to hit the ground with the weapons in their hands.
Most of the weapons in the hands of the Praetorian Guards were spears, so the wooden handle of the spear was pressed against the ground, and as long as it was hollow, it would quickly get a response.
But five or six soldiers hit the ground hard, but there was no reaction, and the thick soil consumed all the strength on Qiang's body.
No sound was heard at all.
So I turned around and didn't hear any strange noise.
"No, how could it not be?"
Li Daozheng frowned and looked at Hao Jian.
"Since they dare to go, it means that this road is not so easy to find."
Hao Jian looked around the cell.
The difference between this cell and the rest of the cells is that there are a few more mats, but these mats are laid out on one side, neatly and neatly.
"You guys, dig this place for me!"
Hao Jian frowned, pointed to the place where there was no mat on the side and said.
Obviously, a group of people sleeping together, even if they are intimate, have their own space, so it is impossible to get too close, there is no private space at all, and obviously this writing mat was moved together later.
What is the purpose?
There is an entrance to cover up, and there is an entrance on one side.
If the mat is placed at the entrance, Tadaya, who is leaning on the bamboo mat, will definitely be dented, and it will be an easy target.
This group of Praetorian Guards has been looking for so long but has not found where the entrance is, which shows that this entrance is very well hidden, and it has existed for a very long time, and there should be a door.
The presence of the mat will affect the opening and closing of this entrance, so it is better to put it aside.
After listening to Hao Jian's opinion, the Praetorian Guards present quickly began to move, and they found shovels and hoes nearby to prepare to start.
And some were a little lazy, thinking that Lord Hao's speech was, so they simply stabbed their spears around the ground.
Touch!
"Hey, what is this?"
Soon someone dug up something terrible, and when they cut through the dirt, there was a wide plank of wood.
The formwork is covered with a thick layer of soil, which can be strained, so it is not different to hit the plank.
The template is square and solid, I don't know what material it is made of, there is no handle on it, and there is no place to use force, and it is inlaid in the soil.
Hao Jian walked over and took a look, frowning: "This entrance switch is in the tunnel, pry him open!" ”
Looking at the age of this wooden door, Hao Jian had already thought that this thing should be very old, I am afraid that when this cell was built, this tunnel already existed.
No wonder this Li Xin didn't panic at all when he encountered something, it turned out that he had already prepared a way to escape for his life.
After prying it a few times, the plank still didn't move, and there was no way Hao Jian could only ask the soldiers to destroy it.
With a bang, the axe attack finally reduced the plank to flying ashes.
At this time, Hao Jiancai saw that there were organic iron rods supporting the wooden planks in the tunnel, no wonder so many people couldn't do anything about this thing.
"Bring someone, let's go inside!"
Hao Jian said to a few Praetorian Guards around him, and the Praetorian Guards quickly conveyed the order, and after a while, a team of ten people followed Hao Jian and walked towards the tunnel.
Li Daozheng watched outside for a while, instructed the guards not to rush to seal the entrance, and walked in at the back of the line.
It's a lot bigger than the outside, and it's very wide.
Hao Jian even found that there were several branches in this tunnel, and a simple look at it knew that this was the lead to the rest of the cells.
The tunnel is very long and dry, but there is no lack of oxygen at all, and even Hao Jian can clearly see some vents, obviously this thing is very cleverly designed, and the color of the wall should not be the product of a year or two.
"Be careful!"
At this time, according to Li Xin, they had disappeared for a while, and it was impossible to catch up with them.
But Hao Jian still wanted to take a good look at what was in this tunnel.
So he led a group of people to the front.
