Entering the city, the scene made Song Kai a little overwhelmed, there were very few pedestrians on the street, most of them came and went in a hurry, the streets were very dirty, there were scattered firewood and grass everywhere, and there were even frozen corpses, most of the shops were closed, and the doors were open, that is, some inns and rice shops.

Feng Tian and Wei Wushuang were okay and were not too surprised, while Song Kai saw this kind of chaotic scene for the first time.

The three people on their horses were very conspicuous, and the people around them were far away.

"Let's find an inn to settle down," Song Kai pointed to the front, sighing in his heart, Suzhou City is really a paradise, that place, people are still drinking and composing poems, but there are already dead people lying on the street here.

There is an inn nearby, and the shopkeeper came to greet three people.

"Man, what's going on in this city?" Song Kai and the three of them sat down by the window, and when they saw Xiao Er coming, they asked.

The shopkeeper glanced at Song Kai and the three people, knowing that the three people were outsiders, and said in a low voice: "Three guest officers, little suggestion, eat this meal, let's go, don't live here, recently, Caozhou City is unstable, today is still good, just two days ago, the bandits and the defenders were in front of the door, at that time the water of the moat was red, and the corpses floated on the river, blocking the river." ”

Song Kai was stunned, "Bandits? Bandits have entered the city? ”

"That's not an ordinary bandit," there was no business in the store, and Xiao Er was also very free, so he stopped and talked to Song Kai, "Those bandits are high and high, one person can kill several soldiers, but fortunately, those people are not bad, and they didn't hurt those of us who opened the shop." ”

"Oh?" Song Kai thought for a while, "There should be quite a lot of guards in this city." ”

"It didn't work. Those bandits will demagogue. What to say about the field divided equally. What else to say about the joint ownership of property...... Anyway, it's all big rebellion, and now that there are more and more people, the government can't catch them all," the shopkeeper said in a low voice.

"Huang San! Go to the kitchen to help, and chew your tongue again," the shopkeeper yelled loudly in the distance.

The shopkeeper named Huang San shrank his head and walked away.

Song Kai suddenly understood. This is not a fucking bandit at all, but a peasant uprising, and it seems that the government is forcing the people to be anxious.

"It seems that it is external and internal troubles, and the government and political disputes, it is estimated that it is completely finished," Song Kai ate the vegetables bitterly, it was very difficult to eat, and he didn't even put salt.

Fortunately, a few people had already eaten, so it didn't matter, Feng Tian put two mustaches on his face. So he went out of the inn and found out where the little beggar was being held.

Song Kai and Wei Wushuang sat opposite each other. Look out the window at the bleak scene.

"Sure enough, in the troubled times, life is like an ant," Song Kai sighed.

Wei Wushuang glanced at Song Kai indifferently, "If you have the ability, you should work hard." ”

"Me?" Song Kai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "I said Miss Wei, you also think too highly of me, I am a small businessman, it would be good to take care of the safety of the people close to me." ”

Wei Wushuang thought for a moment and nodded.

The two of them were talking sadly, and the sound of crying and shouting came from the side of the street.

More than fifty soldiers wearing armor and holding spears and Tang knives walked out of an alley, and among them there was a man in tow, a man, whose hair was scattered and could not see his appearance clearly, but judging from his size, he should be a burly man, who was seriously injured, and was tied by three soldiers with iron chains, and dragged on the ground, leaving a blood-red trace where he passed, and it was obvious that the man had opened his skin.

"Please! Let my children go! He really didn't have an affair with the thief, let alone rebel! An old lady in the back cried loudly, she was wearing a vest, a cotton jacket, and a dragon-headed cane in her hand, and it could be seen that this old lady had a good family background.

But at this moment, the old lady didn't care about her appearance, hugged a soldier, and begged for mercy loudly.

Behind the old lady was a woman, a child.

The woman is very handsome, dressed plainly, but has a bit of elegant temperament, the child combs her hair in a bun, round and tender, very cute.

"Get out of here!"

A soldier kicked the old lady away, "If you are long-winded, my lord will arrest you too!" ”

The old lady fell to the ground.

The woman and the child hurriedly helped the old lady up.

The old lady said loudly: "Our house has been raided by you, why can't you let my poor child go." ”

One of the soldiers at the head turned around, looked at the three old ladies, frowned, and made a wave of his hand.

The soldiers behind were stunned, but they didn't hesitate too much, "Boom! There were a few sounds of unsheathed swords, and then five or six soldiers flew up and slashed at the old lady with their swords.

Song Kai slammed the table, stood up, and then sat down weakly.

The screaming quickly ended, leaving only undeformed corpses on the ground.

The soldiers at the head said loudly: "Those who dare to rebel and fornicate against thieves will all end up like this!" ”

There was no one on the street anymore.

More than fifty people, dragging the man, walked all the way, leaving only a faint trace of blood.

"It's so inhuman!" Song Kai scolded in a low voice.

"It's all the same, if the thieves raid the homes of those who are officials, the family will also end up like this, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, not only the rules of the green forest, but also the rules of the government," Wei Wushuang lowered his head, no longer looked at the bleak street, and said in a low voice.

Song Kai sighed, "I suddenly regretted it, maybe it's good to be in Suzhou City, but seeing these scenes has ruined my interest in life." ”

The shopkeeper took a plate of peanuts and put it on the table, "Two guest officers, don't look around, don't talk nonsense, after eating, let's hurry up, these days, it's safer outside the city than inside the city." ”

As soon as evening, Song Kai and Wei Wushuang changed their clothes.

Feng Tian had already brought the news, and the people were imprisoned in the dungeon in the middle of Caozhou City, and the guards were not strict, because now the soldiers in the city had become flies, and most of the troops had been transferred by the Caozhou Assassin to protect their own palace.

Song Kai let out a "hmm", he didn't have too much to worry about, with Wei Wushuang by his side, plus the explosive continuous crossbow arrows he made, as well as firecrackers and gunpowder bullets, it was still very easy to get out of the city.

"Let's go, save the little beggar, and leave here, the city is too chaotic, it's better to be careful," Song Kai turned over and got on his horse.

Feng Tian agreed, pulled the reins, and led the way in front.

About half an hour, I arrived at a mansion, the high brick wall is very dilapidated at the moment, and the gate that was originally slaughtered is now broken and fallen to one side, it seems that it has been destroyed before.

There were two guards at the doorway, visibly lazy, their lit torches swaying in the wind and ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Song Kai saw that the defense was so loose, he was even more relieved, and said to Wei Wushuang: "Can you extinguish the torch?" ”

Wei Wushuang felt a stone on the ground, but he didn't aim at it, and threw it out with a "whoosh", and the torch fell to the ground with a bang and went out.

"Who!"

The guard at the door shouted, and the two guards gathered together and shook the Tang knife in their hands at the same time.

Wei Wushuang flew over, and before the eyes of the two guards could adjust to the darkness, he slammed twice and cut into the necks of the two soldiers, and the soldiers snorted and fell to the ground.

Feng Tian looked at it in a daze, and finally understood why his young master brought this woman to rob the prison, this woman is the legendary top master.

Hiding the horse in the corner, Song Kai carried a cloth bag, and the three of them entered the prison gate.

The inside of the prison is in a dilapidated state, and it seems that the people before have destroyed it too much.

There are a lot of people guarding the prison, there are more than 20 of them, and Song Kai is not polite, since he can't get in, he has to break in.

He took out two large iron bumps from his pocket, shook them, and threw them into the crowd.

"Boom! Boom" There was a loud bang, the earth trembled, and the more than a dozen people landed on the ground in the firelight, even if they were not dead, their minds were dizzy and oppressed by the violent explosion shockwave, and they couldn't stand up.

Wei Wushuang frowned and glanced at Song Kai's coat, it was the first time she had seen Song Kai use this secret weapon.

"What's that?" Wei Wushuang asked.

"Awesome, go back and tell you, now deal with the rest of the people first!" Song Kaidao, then walked forward, and shouted loudly: "The people inside are all out of the way, the master doesn't want to kill, if he gets in the way, don't blame the master for killing people without blinking!" ”

"Hula", more than a dozen soldiers who could still run disappeared in an instant, and the power of the bomb just now really frightened these people.

Song Kai carried a cloth bag and a repeating bow and crossbow in his hand, and walked inside.

"Be careful," Wei Wushuang walked beside Song Kai.

Feng Tian took a big step and walked in front of the two people.

There is an underground passage in front, and this is the dungeon of Caozhou City, and when you enter the dungeon, the smell of blood and sour rot is disgusting.

Song Kai finally couldn't hold back, and looked at the prison by the light of the torches in the dungeon, the dungeon was very large, and many of the prisoners in the prison were already dead.

Seeing Song Kai and the three of them walking down, he crawled over with some breath and begged Song to open himself.

Song Kai doesn't have so much kindness, the key is that there are many real criminals imprisoned here, such as those butchers who kill people without blinking, and some people who pick 1 flower and 1 thief and the like, naturally they can't be released, these people will be more rampant in troubled times.

"Little beggar!" Song Kai shouted, he didn't know the name of the little beggar, so he had to call it like this.

Feng Tian also shouted.

Not far away, the sound of chains sounded, "Master! ”

It was the voice of a little beggar.

Song Kai and the three of them walked over, this is a relatively clean cell, in addition to the little beggar, there is also an unkempt young man in the cell, the young man stared at Song Kai and the three, he suddenly took out a dagger out of nowhere, put the dagger against his neck, and shouted: "Don't come here!" Otherwise, I will die in front of you. ”

Song Kai was stunned for a moment, Rao is he has been reborn and has a wide range of knowledge, and he didn't expect this line to be there.

"Uh, madman?" Song asked the little beggar.

The little beggar shook his head, "He was there when I came, and he didn't speak." ”

"Well, I'll get you out first!"

With a wave of the short sword in both hands, Wei Wu cut the copper lock on the dungeon, pushed the door and walked in. (To be continued......)
