Liu Mansion on Yingquan Street.

Liu Zhengqing had just had breakfast, holding a tea cup in his hand and moistening his throat.

It was just dawn, and there were a few barking dogs in the backyard.

The little guy trotted in all the way from the outside, leaned over and said respectfully: "My lord, someone has caught it."

Liu Zhengqing raised his eyebrows and said with some differences: "Oh? So fast? Are you sure? ”。

The little girl nodded and said, "Sure, just like the girl's description, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in Tsing Yi and the young man in his twenties are all practitioners." It's just a little strange that these two people were arrested for no reason, and they didn't even resist, and our people didn't make the slightest effort! ”

Liu Zhengqing's face did not change, and he wrote lightly: "Just lock it up, we don't need to bother with the rest."

After speaking, Liu Zhengqing gently put down the tea cup in his hand, brushed his sleeves, and let people go down.

He has completed the task he has been given, and he should not take care of other things, and he does not have the ability to take care of them.

Liu Zhengqing lifted his robe, got up, and walked out, his body was straight and upright.

He is the magistrate of Yuanzhou, and no matter what, his daily work must continue.

****

Jail.

Ah Ying and Gu Zhan faced each other, looking at each other through the railing, and neither of them spoke.

Ah Ying is still a little confused, what happened? How far has she been out of the Qinghe River, why was she locked up? She has always felt that her brain is quite bright, why after leaving Miao Village, she feels more and more that her brain is a little insufficient.

Along the way, in addition to meddling in the affairs of Goulutang and Lingxiao Palace, the two of them have never offended any nobles, why did they get into trouble with the government?

On the other side, Gu Zhan looked at Ah Ying with an anxious face, leaned against the wall, yawned, and said, "Ah Jin, it's okay." It's just a good rest, and it's tiring along the way. It's a free and safe place, but it's hard to come by! Relax! ”

Ah Ying sighed, and said helplessly: "I just think the gap is big, it turns out that every time I go out with Sister Rou to do something, I don't see anything, why is it that when I come out with you, it is a corpse and a prison... I've really experienced everything..."

Gu Zhan pillowed his arms, his eyes rolled, and he thought for a while and said, "This is fun!" Ten days and half a month without any major incidents, so what's the point! Okay, get some sleep, I'll take care of something! ”

After that, Gu Zhan turned over the straw mat, closed his eyes, and said that he would sleep.

Ah Ying pursed her lips, this heart is really big, and she can sleep on other people's territory? But when you think about it, what else can you do now? They didn't even know what they had done, and they were inexplicably arrested by a group of officers and soldiers, as if there was nothing they could do but sleep now.

It's better to recharge your batteries!

Thinking like this, Ah Ying also leaned against the wall and tilted her head and fell asleep.

It's strange to say, not to mention how soundly she slept this night, and she had several dreams in a row. She dreamed that she went to Jiangning and made a lot of friends, Li Tian took her shopping and eating, took her around to play, and also dreamed that Sister Rou lived with her in Guofu. Everything was so beautiful that in the end, Ah Ying didn't want to wake up from the dream.

Before she could wake up, she heard the faint sound of the door opening. She immediately woke up and slowed down, hearing someone unlocking the door, followed by a series of footsteps.

The visitor stopped at the outermost door, and after saying a few words, there was no sound.

Ah Ying and Gu Zhan were both leaning against the wall, looking slack, but they were really on guard at any time.

After a while, three small men with food boxes lined up and walked towards the innermost part of the cell.

These three people are of different shapes, two tall and one short, and they all can't see clearly with their heads down. They didn't speak, their eyes were fixed on the ground, and they walked in.

Ah Ying glanced at a row of three people intentionally or unintentionally, only to feel that the figure of the last person seemed to be somewhat familiar.

Thinking like this, the man also raised his head and winked at her telepathically, and Ah Jin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhao Qingluan!

Just as the three of them were about to walk through this cell, Zhao Qingluan took advantage of the dim light in the corner of the wall and threw a key into Ah Jin's cell, and the key fell on the grass without making a sound.

Ah Ying glanced at it, and saw that no one found it, so she quietly moved over and picked it up.

Gu Zhan, who was on the other side, naturally saw this scene, and leaned over to the railing and rushed to Ah Nu's mouth.

Ah Ying compared his lips, and Gu Zhan immediately understood.

He clapped his palms lightly with his fingers, his eyes glancing out of the door from time to time. He had roughly calculated that the jailer would come in through the door on his right every one hundred and sixteen strokes, and then pass through the fork on the left side of the road every ninety-eight or so strokes, and so on, and the road would remain the same.

It's been fifty-eight times since the last time it appeared.

Gu Zhan nodded at Ah Jin, and Ah Ying cautiously began to test the keys, this large number of keys needed to be tried one by one. Ah Yu was lucky enough to stabilize them so that they would not make a collision sound.

One hundred, one hundred and one, one hundred and two...

Gu Zhan gently tapped the railing with his fingernails, making a clanging sound.

Ah Yu's eyes flashed, pinched the key, leaned back, rolled, put his hands on his head, and tilted on the ground to pretend to rest.

On the other side, Gu Zhan also quickly moved back, leaning against the wall, holding a grass in his mouth, and his eyes dripping.

By the time the jailer approached, the two had long since recovered. The jailer held the sword in his right hand, glanced at it slowly, and left.

After the jailer turned to the right and disappeared, Ah Ying spun around and tried a few more times, only to hear a click, and the lock was opened.

Ah Ying found a small wooden stick and stuck it between the lock and the chain, and from the outside, the lock looked as if it had not been opened.

Gu Zhan cast an approving look, Ah Ying raised her eyebrows, her eyes glanced to the right, and Gu Zhan nodded to signal her safety.

said that it was too late, Ah Yu shook his hand, and the keychain crossed a graceful arc in the air, brushing the ground and throwing it into Gu Zhan's cell opposite, Gu Zhan leaned forward and took it smoothly.

At this time, there were still fifty strokes before the jailer passed again.

Gu Zhan stepped forward and quickly tried the key, and the range of movements was particularly large, and Ah Ying was shocked to see it.

The sound of footsteps came, and Gu Zhan swooped back to his position, the speed was so fast that Ah Zhan was dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy.

The jailer passed by again, his eyes swept towards Ah Ying, as if he had found something, walked over, flicked the lock with his hand, and shook it gently.

Ah Ying leaned against the wall, calm on the surface, but in fact, her heart was about to jump to her throat in a panic.

The jailer glanced at Ah Yu in the corner of the wall, turned around slowly, and shook Gu Zhan's lock again, before leaving.

Ah Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came again, and it sounded like the three people who had just entered.

Ah Ying shouted at Gu Zhan opposite, "Hurry up!"

Gu Zhan's subordinates tried quickly, without raising their heads, and did not forget to whisper: "Don't urge!"

When the three servants returned with food boxes, the locks on the two cells had been opened.

Gu Zhan and Ah Ying sat at the door, leaning on the railing, one holding grass and the other playing with hands.

Zhao Qingluan walked at the end, raised his eyes to observe the Quartet, and saw that there was no danger at this time, between the lightning and flint, his figure flashed, his left and right hands moved together, and he hit the knife in his hand, and put the two little guys down with a click, holding one in one hand.

Seeing Zhao Qingluan make a move, almost instantly, Ah Ying and Gu Zhan got up, brushed down the lock, opened the prison door, and held the little guy on Zhao Qingluan's left and right.

The three of them have a tacit understanding, and everything only happens in a few snaps of a finger.

"Change into their clothes!" Zhao Qingluan whispered quickly.

Zhao Qingluan helped Ah Ying drag the little girl into the cell, Ah Ying was not like the average lady, she didn't twist at all, she quickly changed her clothes, put on her hat, shook her robe, and the hem seemed to be a little long.

Zhao Qingluan glanced at it, pulled the hem of her clothes up, folded it, and buttoned it into her belt, and suddenly heard someone talking at the door.

All three were shocked.

"Lord Liu!" The jailer bowed.

"Is the princess alright?"

A middle-aged man in an official robe stood in the center, with a majestic demeanor.

"Back to my lord, the princess is still the same as before, and she doesn't speak."

Liu Baiming straightened his robe, lifted his long sleeves, turned his back behind him, and said to the crowd: "You are waiting here."

After that, Liu Boming held the corner of his clothes with one hand and walked steadily towards the cell.

Gu Zhan, Ah Jin, and Zhao Qingluan wore small costumes, knelt on the side of the corridor, bowed their heads, and bowed respectfully.

Liu Boming passed by the three of them, walking in a hurry, and he didn't even look at them.

When the person walked away, the three of them got up and walked out with the food box.

The prison officer saw the three people coming out of it and asked, "Has the princess eaten?"

Zhao Qingluan walked in the front, bowed down and said, "If you go back to the adult, the princess didn't eat a few bites, let me wait to go back first." The food was left there. ”

The prison officer glanced at Lord Liu's attendant, the man didn't speak, the prison officer touched his nose, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go!"

Out of the gate, the three of them walked normally, and walked naturally along the side of the low wall.

When he really walked away, Gu Zhan looked around again, and after confirming that it was safe, he immediately sat on the lawn.

Ah Ying also sat down cross-legged, holding his forehead with both hands, and cold sweat flowed down his back.

The taut strings finally relaxed.

"Oh my God, I'm scared to death, I feel like I'm dreaming, and it's going so well!" Ah Ying couldn't believe it, this is a prison break! Oh my! That's exciting, isn't it?

Gu Zhan looked at Ah Ying with an excited and frightened look, and he only felt funny.

"You're unproductive, what a little bit of a thing, what kind of excitement you have become." Gu Zhan leaned against the trunk of the tree all of a sudden.

Ah Ying fanned the wind with her palm and ignored him, she was indeed a little excited now. She has never been a decent person, she has been more clever since she was a child, and her temperament is straightforward, and it is precisely for this reason that she can talk to Gu Zhan like this, although the age difference between the two is ten years.

Zhao Qingluan also sat down, holding the long sword, watching the two of them choke each other, and said with a smile: "You two are so funny."

Gu Zhan leaned against the tree, squinted his eyes and said, "I have won the prize!"

"Are you brother and sister?" Zhao Qingluan asked casually.

"Not really!" Ah Ying glanced at Gu Zhan with a little disgust, her brothers were much better than him!

Gu Zhan pursed his lips and said slowly: "What brother and sister, she is my niece and nephew, don't make a mistake with the generation!"

Zhao Qingluan was also happy when he heard it, and said, "Yo, then your status is really high."

Gu Zhanyi raised his head and was noncommittal.

"Miss Zhao, how did you know that we were arrested?" Gu Zhan asked at the right time.

"When I entered the city, I saw that you were arrested by officers and soldiers, and I thought to myself, how can I say that you have also saved me, how can I not save you when I die." Zhao Qingluan still wrote lightly.

"And how did you get in?"

"Seeing that someone happened to be delivering food, I spent money to bribe them, saying that a friend had committed something and was arrested, and I wanted to visit.

"How do you know they're there to deliver food? Is it so easy to buy a domestic slave? Gu Zhan continued to be unrelenting.

Ah Ying couldn't listen to it anymore, and pushed Gu Zhan and said, "Uncle, why do you have so many problems, your sister saved us, you don't care how she came!"

Ah Ying is very easy to be bought, as long as you treat her a little better, she will treat you as her own.

Gu Zhan hated that iron could not become steel, so he slapped Ah Jin's hand away.

"You call me uncle, call her sister, it sounds like you don't know and you think I'm old!" Gu Zhan said depressedly.

"It's okay, you should be suspicious, after all, we only know each other."

Zhao Qingluan picked up her sword and got up, and the evening sky was full of the brilliance of the sunset, reflecting on her face, with a hint of softness.

She turned her back to the sunset and said to the two of them, "Actually, I am also selfish, and I want to ask the two of you for help."

With the red glow as the curtain, the cool breeze is slow, and the green silk is flying. Gu Zhan felt that this situation was so beautiful, even Zhao Qingluan's voice didn't seem to be so cold.
