Chapter 66: Blood Is Thicker Than Water (2)
Thanks to Yiyi's help, the withered sheep entered the prison of the Great Prison Temple without much effort.
Because of the change of shifts, there are only a dozen or so Dongling jailers guarding the prison in the Great Prison Temple at the moment, and the rest are probably still in sweet sleep, but despite this, the tension in the withered sheep's heart is still difficult to subside for a long time.
You must know that the best thing an assassin is the technique of combined attack, and dealing with two assassins at the same time is far more difficult than dealing with two assassins in a row.
My sister is right, if I come alone, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the door of the Great Prison Temple......
With a bitter smile in his heart, the withered sheep deliberately lowered his head, for fear that those Dongling jailers would see it, and God knows if there were any people who were chasing him that day.
"Humble Zhao Liu, I've seen Mrs. Yiyi, it's good that Mrs. Yiyi is called lowly Xiaoliu...... Lady Yiyi, why are you here? Knowing that the fourth lady of her own family came to the prison of the Great Prison Temple, the dozen or so Dongling people were flattered and greeted one after another, and the person who led the way was the jailer who was reprimanded by the jailer chief Di Bu for playing with the prisoners in the prison a few days ago.
"That's the case," while instructing the guys who sent the wine from the restaurant to move the wine from the jar to the Dongling jailers, Yiyi said with a smile, "In the past two days, the heroes of Dongling have arrested all the thieves who have mixed into the city to make trouble, my husband is very happy in his heart, and I want to reward you, but my husband is busy with government affairs, so the concubine took the liberty to take the matter from her husband, Ah Yang ......" said, Yi Yi glanced at the withered sheep behind him, and the withered sheep understood, and took out a pack of silver tickets from the wooden box he carried. Resting on the table.
"There are 100,000 taels of government silver bills in this cloth bag, you don't want to be too little, and use it as wine ......money," Yi Yi said softly, pointing to the cloth bag placed on the table by the withered sheep.
100,000 taels is not a small amount for Xie An, who is in the current position, although there are more than 200 people in Dongling in the city at the moment, but if it is divided equally, each person can still get about 500 taels of silver, you must know that Di Bu, who is the warden of the Great Prison Temple, is now only about 200 taels per month. What's more, the Dongling jailers under his command, this is almost half a year's worth for them.
"This ...... How does this work? Zhao Liu rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, although he was very moved in his heart, he didn't dare to accept it rashly.
"Leader Zhao, it's not that the concubine is not enough to be identious. Not enough to reward you on behalf of my husband? Seeing that Zhao Liu was embarrassed to accept the money, Yi Yi said deliberately.
Zhao Liuyi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "What did Mrs. Yiyi say, if you are not enough for identity, there are few people in this Ji Jing who are enough for identity...... Then, the lowly office was taken on behalf of the brethren. - Thank you, Fourth Lady, for the reward! "Finished. He turned his head and glared at the Dongling brothers around him with happy faces, and scolded, "What are you still doing in a daze? Don't thank the fourth lady yet?! ”
When the dozen or so Dongling jailers heard this, they woke up like a dream and thanked them one after another.
"That's right. The concubine also brought fifty jars of wine on this trip, all of which came from the restaurant [Huixianju] in the city, and purchased fifty jars of my husband's favorite wine......" As she spoke, Yi Yi pointed to the fifty jars of wine carried by the guys in the restaurant.
His own adult, Xie An, prefers the restaurant of Huixianju. This is nothing new among the Assassins of Dongling, I have heard of it. Including Zhao Liu, more than a dozen Dongling jailers unconsciously smacked their lips, revealing a look of yearning.
Seeing this, Yi Yi used the excuse of trying the wine and asked them to open the mud, after all, this is the purpose of her trip.
Zhao Liu and the others did not doubt him, and under the deliberate action of the withered sheep, they took two jars of wine mixed with sweat medicine.
I have to say that Xie An's preference for [Huixianju]'s wine is not without reason, the sealing mud on the wine jar was opened, and the entire prison was filled with bursts of wine, which not only aroused the alcohol addiction of Zhao Liu and others, but even the prisoners in the prison in the distance were also tempted by the sound of this wine, looking at the iron railing with the iron rope in their hands, and noisily begging for wine.
"What's the noise?!" Zhao Liu yelled viciously in the direction of the prison, and it could be seen that his face was a little unswerving, after all, he was receiving an extremely noble woman, but the prisoners in the prison over there were noisy and alive, which was simply not giving them face to the Dongling people, Zhao Liu finally realized the mood of their Dongling boss Di Bu when Xie An came to inspect a few days ago.
On the other hand, Yi Yi had a normal face and said softly, "Leader Zhao is angry, since the prisoners in the prison have to smell the smell of wine, it doesn't matter if you give them some......"
Zhao Liu scratched his head when he heard this, to be honest, he was reluctant to give such a good wine to the prisoners in the prison, but since the fourth lady had already spoken, he couldn't disobey, so he reluctantly asked the guys sent by the restaurant to carry the wine according to what Yi Yi said, and gave a jar in each cell, so that there were only about ten jars left of the fifty jars of wine, which made him feel distressed for a while.
At this time, Yi Yi gave the withered sheep a look, and the withered sheep understood, and took the opportunity to help, picked up a jar of wine that was not mixed with sweat medicine, and accompanied by a Dongling jailer, came to the prison where Wei Hu, Wei Xuan, and others were held.
At this time, Wei Hu was wondering why the prison had suddenly become so noisy, and he sat up and glanced at the corridor, but was stunned to see the withered sheep wearing a domestic costume and carrying a jar of wine to their prison.
"Withered ......" Wei Hu, whose eyes widened wide, only said a word, and was frightened by the withered sheep's fierce eyes, and swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach.
"Alright, let's leave it here!" Opening the door of the prison and motioning to the withered sheep to put the wine at the door, the Dongling jailers locked the door of the prison again, looked at the thieves in the prison with disdain and depression for some reason, and said with a sneer, "If you are lucky, a few days after you came in, you will meet the gentle and kind Fourth Lady, and tell you to have another drunken ......" He muttered and walked away, obviously feeling sorry for giving such a good drink to these prisoners.
Quietly waiting for the Dongling jailers to go away, the withered sheep looked at the surrounding cells, and saw that the prisoners in the prison were taking care of the drinks, so he squatted down, looked at Wei Hu who had his legs broken with a little sarcasm, and chuckled and said, "Oops." You're still alive, and it looks like I should come later......"
Seeing that the withered sheep was talking coldly, although Wei Hu knew this person's temperament, he was also half angry, regardless of the pain in his legs, crawled near the prison door, looked around nervously, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing?" - Do you know that this is a prison in the Great Prison Temple! ”
"Let's see if you ...... dead," he said with a playful face. The withered sheep frowned and glanced at Wei Hu's legs, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes.
As if seeing the look of concern in the withered sheep's eyes, Wei Hu smiled, lowered his voice and said indifferently, "Lao Tzu is fine." It's just that two legs were broken, and those guys are just so capable, and they want to ask for information from Lao Tzu's mouth? Bah! As he spoke, he sighed lightly, slowed down his tone, and said heavily, "But Ah Xun and Xiao Min are dead......
Looking at the look of guilt in Wei Hu's eyes. The withered sheep also felt a little blocked in his heart, and nodded, but he couldn't say anything comforting.
At this time, Wei Xuan, who was beside Wei Hu, interjected and whispered. "Dry sheep, what are you doing in the Great Prison Temple?"
"Shh With a small motion, the withered sheep glanced around, and used the iron bars of the prison to distribute wine to Wei Hu and the others as a cover. He lowered his voice and said, "Do you need to ask?" Of course I'm here to save you! "After learning that two of my companions had been lost. He was not in the mood to squeeze Wei Hu and the others anymore.
"Save?" Wei Xuan was stunned, and the words of a black-bellied and terrifying woman suddenly sounded in his mind.
[…… In a short time, you will wait for the last companion to come to your rescue, and then you will be able to escape, and after you have escaped...... Wei Xuan, you are a smart person, but don't do anything to destroy your future! ]
Here Wei Xuan was reflecting on the admonition of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but Wei Hu beside him didn't want to say this, and when he heard the withered sheep's words, he was surprised and delighted, and said in a low voice, "Withered sheep, do you have a way to save me?" ”
The withered sheep raised his hand and made a silent movement, just when Wei Hu and the others didn't know what was going on, suddenly, a death row prisoner in the cell next to him fell to the ground with a thud, snoring, and seemed to be sleeping to death, but in the eyes of Wei Hu and the others, it was not the case.
Is there sweat medicine in the wine?
Wei Hu and Wei Xuan looked at each other, probably understanding the idea of the withered sheep in their hearts, but they were also a little puzzled, could it be that the Dongling people guarding the prison were all fools? Don't know how to take precautions?
Indeed, the assassins of Dongling are not stupid, if it was a drink sent by someone else, they would naturally try it, but this time it was a drink sent by Yiyi, where would they be suspicious?
You must know that the Dongling Assassins are currently eating under Yiyi's husband, Xie An, to put it mildly, the current Dongling Crowd and Jinling Crowd are the assassins raised by Xie An's Mansion in the Criminal Department, and they are just the leaders of the imperial court, so how can those people suspect Yiyi?
Just when Wei Hu, Wei Xuan, and the others were shocked that the plan of the withered sheep was being carried out so smoothly, they suddenly saw a woman in a blue and white brocade robe walking down the aisle, which was suffocating.
Under Wei Hu's stunned gaze, the woman opened the door of the prison with a bunch of keys in her hand, and said softly to the withered sheep, "Ah Yang, all the Dongling jailers in the prison have been fascinated by sweat medicine, you quickly take your companions and leave Beijing......
Withered Sheep opened his mouth, nodded silently, and was about to speak, but saw Wei Hu's mouth open wide, and said in disbelief, "Withered Sheep, you kid can, in just a few days, you hooked up with such a noble lady......"
Hearing this, the withered sheep was angry in his heart, turned his head and glared at Wei Hu fiercely, and scolded in a low voice, "Shut up!" ”
Seeing that the withered sheep seemed to be really angry, Wei Hu was stunned, and at this moment, Yi Yi bowed to Wei Hu and the others, and said with a complicated expression, "You are the friends made by my brother, right?" ——I hope you will take care of your brother in the future, and the concubine is grateful......"
"Home...... Junior? Looking at the beautiful woman in amazement, and then at the withered sheep, Wei Hu realized what rude and stupid things he had just said, smiled awkwardly, and said, "You...... Withered sheep, do you still have a sister in Jijing? ”
Seeing that the withered sheep seemed to be about to say something, Yiyi said softly, "Ah Yang, without further ado, you can leave as soon as possible...... Before leaving, don't harm any of the jailers in the Great Prison Temple. ”
"Hmm!" The withered sheep nodded, beckoned the six companions to flee, and asked the two companions to set up Wei Hu, whose legs were broken, and walked a few steps when he suddenly heard a click behind him, he subconsciously turned his head, but was stunned to see that he had walked into the prison where they had been held before, and locked the iron rope on the cell door.
"Sister? What are you doing here? The withered sheep looked surprised and ran to the door of the cell.
Yi Yi smiled slightly. said softly, "My husband is an important minister of the court and a scholar of the criminal department, and the concubine knows the law and violates the law, and she shields you, so she should be questioned...... Go quickly, it's been delayed for a long time, I'm afraid of the waves......"
"But you ......" Looking at her sister's actions, the withered sheep didn't understand, and said with guilt and anxiety. Sister, why don't you go back to Jiangnan with me......"
Yi Yi shook his head when he heard this, looked at his brother apologetically, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry." Ah Yang, sister...... My sister's destination, in Jijing, beside the man who loves and spoils his concubine, you go quickly, don't delay, leave Jijing quickly. Don't tell your sister to remember ......"
"Sister......
"Let's go!" Yi Yi said in a deep voice that could not be refuted.
Seeing that the key to unlocking the lock was still in the hands of his sister, and he couldn't open the door of the prison, the withered sheep turned his head to look at his companion in the distance and gritted his teeth. He turned and chased after his companion.
Looking at the back of the withered sheep leaving, Yi Yi smiled slightly, hung the bunch of keys in his hand on the prison door, and then knelt silently in the prison. Yu Yu sighed.
"I'm sorry, husband. After all, the concubine has only one younger brother......"
At the same time, Wei Hu, Wei Xuan and others had fled to the vicinity of the gate of the Great Prison Temple, and I don't know if it was luck or what, there were no Dongling guards on duty along the way, and they escaped easily.
In order to be cautious and avoid being caught in a net, Wei Hu, Wei Xuan, Withered Sheep and others temporarily separated after agreeing on a meeting place.
Watching Wei Hu and the withered sheep and the others scatter, Wei Xuan looked left and right and hid in an alley, but after taking a few steps, he was shocked to find a man wrapped in a black cloth waiting there, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"Who?" Wei Xuan subconsciously made a defensive move.
"Dongling Zhong, Beizhen Fusi [Jinyiwei] Si Duwei, Mo Fei!"
Dongling murderous ghosts, [sickle] Mo Fei? Wei Xuan's heart was shocked, and his whole body tensed.
As if noticing Wei Xuan's vigilance, Mo Fei said lightly, "There is no need to put on such a posture, if I want to kill you and wait, you will not be able to get out of the door of the Great Prison Temple!" ”
Wei Xuan was stunned when he heard this, thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized in his heart, and asked tentatively, "You...... Are you that woman......" Speaking of this, he suddenly noticed a bit of murderous intent in Mo Fei's eyes, and quickly changed his words and said, "You were sent by the eldest grandson lady?" ”
"Clean your mouth!" Snorting heavily, Mo Fei said lightly, "The second lady has already told me everything about you, so I broke up my brothers in advance so that you can escape...... Otherwise, do you really think that there are only a dozen or so guards in my Great Prison Temple? ”
In fact, Wei Xuan felt a little surprised that the withered sheep rescued them from the prison so easily, although the withered sheep's sister seemed to have a very status, after thinking about it, he said in a low voice, "Tired Mo Duwei sent a message to the second lady for the little one, thank you for the second lady's life-saving grace......
"Hmm!" Mo Fei nodded indifferently and said in a warning tone, "The second lady said, you are a smart person and know the stakes, but Mo still has to warn, if you dare to betray the second lady, even if you hide to the ends of the earth, Mo will cut you with a thousand knives, so that you can't survive or die!" ”
Feeling the strong murderous aura on Mo Fei's body, Wei Fei only felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the second lady has promised the little one a lot of kindness, how can the little one ignore the bright future?" ”
"That's good!" After saying a word lightly, Mo Fei raised his right hand and casually threw a cloth bag to Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan didn't think that Mo Fei would harm him at this time, he took the cloth bag with both hands, his eyes caught a glimpse of the contents of the cloth bag, and his face flushed a little red called excitement.
"This is what the second lady asked me to give you, all of them are silver tickets in the name of the government, 200,000 taels! - The second lady still said the same thing, within five years, the Taiping army can climb as high as it can, and the second lady will never be stingy with all the applications needed! Also, in the future, I will send someone to contact you, and if anyone doubts you, I will eradicate it for you, and if you need a silver tael, I will have someone give it to you......"
"Yes, yes......" Looking at the seemingly fluttering cloth bag, Wei Xian licked his lips, his face full of excitement.
"By the way," suddenly, Wei Xuan seemed to think of something, frowned and said, "My companion Withered Sheep, I have never heard of any sister he has in Jijing, can Captain Mo Du know the identity of the woman who helped Withered Sheep to rescue us, could it be that she was also sent by the second lady?" ”
Mo Fei hesitated when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at Wei Xuan, seeing that his eyes were rolling, he sneered in his heart, he was not a fool, how could he not know what Wei Xuan was thinking?
"That woman is the fourth lady of my lord's house, and the second lady's roommate, you can't afford to mess with her...... Hugh is going to make up his mind to frame that little imp called the withered sheep! - If you can't even do such a trivial thing, you are not worthy of being a pawn in the hands of the second lady......"
Hearing the hint of warning in Mo Fei's words, Wei Xuan nodded thoughtfully.
About a quarter of an hour later, the news that the prisoners had escaped from the prison in the Great Prison Temple finally reached Di Bu's ears, and he rushed to the prison in a hurry, but was stunned to find that his fourth wife, Yi Yi, was kneeling in the prison, and as for Wei Hu, Wei Xuan, and others held in this cell, their whereabouts were unknown.
What made Di Bu feel even more wrong was that, according to the report of his brothers, at the same time that the fourth lady came to the Great Prison Temple, someone secretly took away the Dongling brothers who were on duty in the Great Prison Temple, and it seemed that they intended to let those escaped from prison leave.
And this person turned out to be his third brother, [sickle] Mo Fei.
"Send someone to invite your lordship!"
Di Bu commanded expressionlessly, because he knew that whether it was the eldest grandson Xiangyu or Yiyi, these two ladies were not something he could interfere with.
