Volume 1 A Son of Heaven and a Courtier 100 Killed in the Prison of the Criminal Department
In this way, although everyone can't get out of the hospital, it's not boring-
Shi Dajian led more than 20 strong men to dig underneath, and nearly 100 steps were dug in one day, and the construction period far exceeded expectations. Wei Chi Lianghong and Zhao Chengxiao and Yelu fought with each other, but they were also like-minded. Yiran and Wen Lingjiao are still a little discordant, even if they sit at the same table to eat, they never look at each other and talk for half a sentence, Qiu Yizhi saw that although they were not intimate, they no longer quarreled, so it was just that.
The same was true on the second day.
By the third day, the pace of excavation had slowed down significantly.
Qiu Yizhi saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, so he hurriedly called out Shi Dajian from the cave and asked, "Master Shi, I see that the sand and soil transported out are getting less and less, but what obstacles are encountered in this cave?" ”
Shi Dajian replied, "Son, please forgive your sins." The tunnel has been dug under the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and now it is about to be dug upwards. Although these brothers brought by Childe have great strength, they are still novices, and the small ones are afraid that they will dig the hole, and today they are all small hands-on, so this speed has slowed down. ”
Qiu Yizhi was immediately surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Then how long will it take for this tunnel to be dug?" ”
Shi Dajian closed his eyes and pondered, and replied cautiously: "The foundation of the prison of the Criminal Department is solid, and it doesn't seem to be easy to do. If you want to look small, I guess you will be able to get through this evening. ”
Qiu Yizhi easily suppressed his incomparably excited mood, took two deep breaths, and said, "This is not in a hurry. Let's wait for some preparations, how about asking Master Shi to open the tunnel on the second watch? ”
Shi Dajian nodded again and again: "This kind of thing is not afraid of slowness, but is afraid of urgency." It would be great if Childe could give me more than half a day. As he spoke, he made a gesture towards Qiu Yi, and went into the hole again.
So Qiu Yizhi called Yu Chi Lianghong, Zhao Chengxiao and Yelu and said to them: "Master Fang Cai Shi told me that this tunnel will be dug soon. When the time comes, there will be a big fight, and this matter will all depend on the three of them. Seeing that the three people in front of him nodded one after another, he said again, "I have been in this prison once, and I have taken this opportunity to observe the terrain and structure in detail......
As he spoke, Qiu Yizhi squatted on the ground, picked up a branch at random, drew a sketch on the dirt floor, and continued pointingly: "When this prison was first built, in order to prevent prisoners from escaping, a long snake formation was imitated, and all the cells were penetrated by a passage. But the man who built the cell never imagined that hundreds of years later, someone would dig a tunnel from below and come to rob the prison. Such terrain is in harmony with the mind. ”
Yu Chi Lianghong was puzzled and asked, "What does brother mean?" ”
Qiu Yizhi smiled smugly, circled the sketch twice with a branch, and it took half an hour to tell the whole plan that had already been tacitly agreed in his heart.
Yu Chi Lianghong, Zhao Chengxiao and Ye Lu listened very carefully, and they listened to Qiu Yizhi until they finished speaking, and then they breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Chi Lianghong couldn't help but admire: "Brother is really a genius, he has such a plan in his chest, no wonder he dares to save people from the prison of the Criminal Department!" ”
Qiu Yizhi said: "This is the first step, and then you have to pass the three levels before you can be considered complete!" As for how to cross the Tongguan Pass and cross the Yellow River, it has not yet been properly discussed, and it will not be decided until the father-in-law is rescued, and then the old man will discuss with Mr. Zhongli." ”
After speaking, Qiu Yizhi told everyone to go back to the house to rest first, and then act in unison in the evening.
Having said that, Qiu Yizhi returned to the house, but he couldn't close his eyes after tossing and turning, and simply came out again, not too dirty, so he sat on the dirt mountain and bowed his head and pondered, and went through the plan in his heart over and over again.
I finally waited until Jin Wuxi fell.
According to Wen Lingjiao's instructions, He'er put all the remaining vegetables, fish and meat into the pot and made several tables of extremely sumptuous meals. Seeing that there were still a few legs of mutton left, Lu also set up firewood in the courtyard, and I don't know what unique secret method was used to roast the mutton to be charred and fragrant.
Everyone knows that the success or failure of life and death is tonight, so they simply let go of their belly and feasted.
After eating until midnight, Qiu Yizhi saw that countless delicacies had been eaten in a mess, so he got up and said to everyone: "You are all good brothers and good friends below. Today's things, if they fail, they will never recover; If you succeed, you will also become a prisoner of the imperial court. If anyone is scared now and wants to quit, then there is no way to stop them. As long as this person doesn't betray us as soon as he goes out, he will still be a good brother and friend in the future! ”
When everyone heard this, they were all silent, but a thief brought out by Zhao Chengxiao from Yunmeng Mountain said, "Is His Highness Yi looking down on us?" Aren't we all criminals of the imperial court! Whether this thing is done or not, several of us can be regarded as famous all over the world, and when Mr. Storyteller talks about this paragraph, mentioning that there is still my name of Iron Head Jiao among the people who saved the prince of Youyan back then, then Lao Tzu is not considered to have walked in vain in this world! If there is anything, Your Highness, please give an order! ”
The person who spoke was short in stature and not amazing in appearance, but Qiu Yizhi remembered that this person's kung fu was all on his shaved and shiny head, and it was not a problem to open the stele and crack the stone, and although he was rude when he spoke, he was also arrogant, so he praised and said: "Well said! When the husband stands between heaven and earth, he will rise up for a moment, which is better than half a lifetime of mediocrity. You can say that again! ”
Qiu Yizhi's words were not known to be understood by the rest of the thieves, but they all shouted in unison: "Well said! You can say that again! ”
Qiu Yizhi saw that the crowd was excited, so he nodded and said, "Then you can give orders!" ”
After that, Qiu Yizhi glanced at the courtyard and saw that everyone was paying attention to him, and his heart became more and more excited, so he said: "Please remember that the county lord and the two brothers from Bohai will take out all the swords and distribute them to the brothers who came down from Yunmeng Mountain, and the excess does not need to be packed, all of them are thrown in the carriage." You are waiting here, all of you are at the disposal of the county lord of Yiran, and you must not act rashly! The names of those whose names were mentioned all agreed in unison.
Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi nodded and said: "Shi Dajian, Wei Chi Lianghong, Zhao Chengxiao, and Yelu all went down to the cave with me to rescue my father-in-law." You must know that this matter has not yet succeeded, and you must act according to my policy, and you must not act recklessly! All four of them also surrendered their orders.
Qiu Yizhi thought about it again and said, "As for Miss Wen and Miss He'er...... Presumably, the two of them have their own ways to get out, so please take care of yourself! In the past few days, I have been taken care of by two more in the lower class, and I have thanked him here first, and he will meet again one day, and thank you again in the next! ”
After that, Qiu Yizhi looked at Wen Lingjiao, who was bowing her head and squatting, and stopped talking, but said to Shi Dajian: "Master Shi, take me to the next cave!" ”
Shi Dajian said, "Okay! He stooped down and took out a hammer and a hammer from his kit, and put a few loose sticks in his waist, and jumped into the hole.
Qiu Yizhi pulled out the treasure knife at his waist, tried the blade, and put the knife back into the scabbard, and followed the hole.
Seeing this, Yu Chi Lianghong took out a soft sword from his belt in a very chic manner, waved it in the air for a while, and muttered: "Good brother, today you will make meritorious contributions with me and leave a name in history!" Then he put his sword back into its sheath and plunged into the tunnel.
Zhao Chengxiao and Yelu also carried their own weapons and followed them into the hole.
This tunnel Qiu Yizhi had also entered, and the hastily excavated was inevitably rough, but it could also allow the two of them to bend down and move side by side. The four of them followed Shi Dajian in the tunnel, walked two or three hundred steps, and finally reached the end of the tunnel.
It turns out that this stone building is really good at excavation technology, this long tunnel slowly extends upwards from the beginning, and when it is dug under the prison of the criminal department, you can already touch the bluestone slab paved on the ground of the prison as soon as you reach out. So Shi Dajian took a hammer and hammered around the bluestone slab five or six feet square, and finally turned back to Qiu Yizhi and said, "Son, be careful, I'm going to open a hole in the bottom!" ”
Qiu Yizhi hurriedly flashed to the side, but he saw that this stone Dajian put the iron drill against the corner of the stone slab, and chiseled it with an iron hammer.
Qiu Yizhi didn't have time to admire, so he said: "Master Shi will go back first, and he will kill here next!" With that, he squeezed past Shi Dajian, grabbed the edge, and climbed out of the tunnel. Yu Chi Lianghong, Zhao Chengxiao, and Yelu also jumped out of the tunnel.
Qiu Yizhi saw that it was pitch black in the prison, and he only heard countless prisoners shouting after hearing the movement of the stone slab collapsing, so he hurriedly lit a pine light, held it high, and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
I saw that the four of them were in a cell, except for a stone wall, the rest of the sides were enclosed with iron railings, and a prisoner who did not know what crime had committed in the room stared at the uninvited guests in front of him with wide eyes, and his mouth was wide open but he could not say half a word, as if he had not completely woken up from his sleep.
Qiu Yizhi didn't care about him, and asked Yu Chi Lianghong to knock him unconscious, and he immediately pulled out the treasure knife beside him, and slashed it towards the iron railing near the passage. This prison has been built for a long time, and it is neglected to maintain it on weekdays, and a few iron bars have long been strong from the outside. Qiu Yizhi held this sword of the Western Regions that sharpened iron like mud, and with a few clicks, the iron fence was completely destroyed, and a cat's waist came out.
Qiu Yizhi stood in the only passage of the prison of the Criminal Department, carefully distinguished the front and back several times, then pointed to the front and said: "That is the exit of the prison, and behind it is the cell where the father-in-law is held, everyone should act according to the plan!" ”
So Yu Chi Lianghong led Zhao Chengxiao to follow the direction of Qiu Yizhi's guidance, holding a sharp blade to kill forward, and Ye Lu protected Qiu Yizhi and ran quickly behind.
Let's say that this side of the lieutenant Chi Lianghong ran all the way to the exit of the prison, and met the jailer who was patrolling in the passage, and killed him with a sword without saying anything. He was extremely skilled in martial arts, and his speed was fast, and every time he struck the sword, he hit the vital point, but the poor jailers didn't even have a chance to scream before they died, and they were already dead. There was no fork in the road in this prison, only a winding passage running through the inside and outside, and Wei Chi Lianghong killed twenty or thirty jailers all the way until he stopped at the entrance of the prison, and did not let a single jailer escape to report the news.
That Zhao Chengxiao followed behind, and he didn't even have a chance to use the knife, so he hurried to catch up with Captain Chi Lianghong's footsteps, but he was already out of breath, but he heard Yu Chi Lianghong say: "Your Royal Highness Jiayi wants me to kill all the jailers along the way first, and then lock the prison door from the inside." That's half done. Hold here first, and ask Brother Zhao to help me find a few official knives. ”
Zhao Chengxiao agreed, turned around and ran back a few steps, took a few official knives from the dead jailer, and ran back to Yu Chi Lianghong, handing these knives to this martial arts hero.
I saw that Yu Chi Lianghong took the official knife, inserted the blade into the crack of the door, closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, held the handle of the knife and turned his wrist vigorously, and actually twisted the two official knives like twists, so that the gate of the prison was completely blocked, and it could not be pulled away from the outside for a while.
Wei Chi Lianghong missed such a hand, Zhao Chengxiao was dumbfounded, and a prisoner who was imprisoned in the cell next to him saw it and exclaimed: "This hero is really good kung fu!" It's just that your brain is not very good, so if you break the door, you will be blocked in this prison. Why don't you let me out, let's discuss it together, maybe there's a way to escape. ”
Yu Chi Lianghong didn't seem to hear it, and beckoned Zhao Chengxiao and said, "This matter has been done, I'll go back to help later!" With that, he turned and galloped backwards.
The prisoner who spoke saw that the two men paid no attention to him, gritted his teeth and cursed, and shouted again: "Someone! Come on! A prisoner has escaped! A prisoner has escaped! ”
