Chapter 34: The Man in Prison
Some people say that Qianyunyue is crazy, he arrests people everywhere in the Eastern Holy City all day long, and when he catches a person, he asks people if they know where the Xuanyuan Sword is.
Some people said that it was Ling Ziyan who abandoned him and ran away with others, because he had been alone recently.
Others said that he may have been in this game for a long time, couldn't stand the pressure, and really went insane.
There was a bold scattered man who ran to test whether Qianyunyue was really crazy, he told Qianyunyue that the statue in Qianyunyue Square was holding the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, just take it off, but he was pressed to the ground by Qianyunyue and beaten half to death, and the official couldn't hold it when he came, and finally Qianyunyue was put into prison for three days for committing murder in the city. In this way, people stopped paying attention to him, thinking that he was really crazy.
"Haven't you played an RPG? Talking to each NPC is common sense in the game. Qian Yunyue sat in the prison, thinking about the past and Ling Ziyan, there was a sharp pain in his chest, if this was not in the game, he would have fainted countless times.
"Young man, what did you do to get imprisoned?" At this moment, an old voice came from the opposite cell.
"What's the matter with you?" Qianyunyue didn't raise her head, and replied angrily.
"Yo, my temper is quite big, let's fight with someone." The man on the other side was not annoyed, and still said to himself, "Look at your appearance, you are an adventurer." ”
"You know adventurers?" Qian Yunyue raised his head to look at the past, the lights in the prison were dim, but he could still see clearly that the person who spoke was a little old man with a silver beard and white hair and wearing a shabby prison robe.
"Tut, of course I know, although Xiao Lao'er is in prison, he also knows a little bit about the news of the outside world, saying that you, as an adventurer, have a good life and don't enjoy it, and come here to eat in prison, I don't know what you think." The little old man shook his head, "Little Lao'er is envious of you, with the blessing of the gods, you can be resurrected even if you die, if Xiao Lao'er also has such blessings, then he must have already crossed the rivers and lakes and made a name for himself." ”
The two cells were less than sixteen meters apart, so Qian Yunyue could detect the other party's information, Yan Eighteen Level: 45 Jiang Yang thief, arrested for burglary from the City Lord's Mansion, was sentenced to forty years in prison.
"Hmph, I'm just fighting, and I'll be released in a few days, and it's not the turn of a thief who will spend forty years in prison to judge me." Qian Yunyue sneered and sneered.
"Oh? Looks like you know who I am? Yan Eighteen's eyes rolled around a few times, revealing a strange smile, "In that case, little brother, do you want to make a deal with Xiao Lao'er?" ”
"You're a prisoner, what deal can you make with me?" Qian Yunyue showed a disdainful expression, ignored Yan Eighteen anymore, and directly lay down to prepare for sleep.
"Little brother, don't worry. I know it's easy for you adventurers to have gold and silver treasures, but what about martial arts cheats? Interested? Yan Eighteen looked at Qian Yunyue with a smile.
"Not interested." Qian Yunyue turned over, facing the wall, too lazy to look at Yan Eighteen again, Yan Eighteen naturally couldn't see the corners of Qian Yunyue's slightly upturned mouth.
"What about the pill that increases strength?" Yan Shibai was not in a hurry, and slowly raised his chips.
"No, I don't." What I got was still Qian Yunyue's indifferent answer.
"That'...... What about the magic weapons? Yan Shibai was still a little anxious, and couldn't help but take out his last chips.
hooked, Qianyunyue was secretly happy in her heart. In fact, he was deliberately caught pretending to be crazy and stupid. Although he did have some confusion at first, the thought of Ling Ziyan still being locked up in the tower and suffering, his heart was extremely painful, he was like a headless fly, and he also spent a lot of money to buy some fake news. After three days of tossing and turning, nothing was found. He finally calmed down, and knew in his heart that it was useless to blindly search for information like this, so he began to look around for news, but this time he was looking for all kinds of NPCs to talk to, which was the most basic common sense that Ling Ziyan had told him to play RPG. In the end, he found out that there was a famous Jiangyang thief in this prison, this Yan Shibai is not a simple thief, he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, stealing countless times, and robbing the rich to help the poor, which is considered a thief. However, ten years ago, he sneaked into the city lord's mansion to steal things, but he was arrested and thrown into prison. He immediately thought that this must be a useful message, an NPC with a name and a surname, naturally it will not be an ordinary passerby, and there is a chance that it can trigger any plot. And I heard that Yan Shibai is still a very good treasure hunter, and if you want to find something, it is very suitable to have a treasure hunter as a guide.
He carefully planned before deciding on the current plan. It's useless just to see Yan Eighteen, others can't tell you the news for no reason, he must do something to gain Yan Eighteen's trust, and the best way is to save Yan Eighteen from prison. Of course, it is impossible to rob the prison, inexplicably, why did Yan Eighteen go with him? But as an adventurer, he has the easiest way to get Yan Eighteen out, that is, to use the city contribution to wash away the sin value, and his current city contribution is as high as 5W, which is enough to release Yan Eighteen. But before that, he had to confirm what information Yan Shibai had in his hand. It seems a little unreasonable to be caught directly and blatantly committing a crime, after all, which player would be nervous to make trouble in the city? So he spent 20 gold and hired an actor, the one who came to test him and was beaten up, Qian Yunyue just told him that he needed to go to prison, so he needed his cooperation to help. That person is still his fan, the idol asked him for help, no matter what the reason is, he naturally agreed, and he was just beaten, a man of the moment like Qianyunyue, if he has a relationship with him, maybe he will become famous, and he still has money to make, why not.
"Little brother, what the hell is going on? Do you want to think about it? Yan Eighteen saw that Qian Yunyue didn't react at all, and became a little impatient.
"Tell me what you need me to do for you?" Qian Yunyue pretended to be okay and sat up, looking at Yan Eighteen opposite.
"It's simple, as long as you find a way to get me out. How about I give you not only a magic weapon, but also a book of martial arts secrets? Yan Eighteen saw that Qian Yunyue was interested, and he was secretly happy in his heart, people, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, it depends on whether the chips are enough or not.
"How do I know if you're lying to me? In case I get you out, and you turn your face and don't recognize anyone, and you run away, then who will I go to. Qian Yunyue shook her head, as if she didn't believe what Yan Eighteen said, and continued to lie down.
"I, Yan Eighteen, have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, although I am just a thief, I am also a dignified man who believes in his word." Yan Shibai was anxious, and said with some excitement, "You can despise my profession, but you can't insult my personality." ”
Qian Yunyue sat up and looked at Yan Eighteen silently, Yan Eighteen did not avoid his gaze, and stared at him like this. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Qian Yunyue said: "It's offended, after all, I don't know my predecessors, so I can't avoid suspicion, and I hope that my seniors won't be surprised." ”
"It's okay, this is human nature, in this world, there are not many people who can believe it, even the closest person may stab you in the back." Yan Eighteen seemed to have touched some memories, and shook his head a little sadly.
"Hearing my predecessors say this, I seem to feel a lot of emotion." Qian Yunyue heard that there was a story in Yan's eighteen words.
"Hey...... Just rush to the little brother, the senior, the little old man will tell you about the past, do you know how I was arrested, little brother? Yan Eighteen sighed, he had been in prison for ten years, and he finally met someone who could speak, so he naturally wanted to vent his unhappiness.
"I've heard that my predecessor was a thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and he was accidentally arrested when he entered the city lord's mansion ten years ago." Qian Yunyue nodded, telling the news he had heard from someone else.
"The thief doesn't dare to be, the little old man is also from a poor background, but he can't bear to see the poor people being oppressed by the powerful, so he just does his best." Yan Shibai looked up at the dim oil lamp hanging on the cell door, and his thoughts drifted to the past. "That's right, on that day, I entered the city lord's mansion with my disciple, ready to steal the tribute silver that had just been collected, but I never thought that my disciple had been bribed by the city lord, and secretly reported the news, and as a result, I was surrounded by heavy troops, and I was captured by the enemy."
He was betrayed by his disciples? Qian Yunyue was dumbfounded, but thinking about it, a thief who has been in the rivers and lakes for decades and has not been caught, must be very skilled, if he is not designed to fall into a trap, he will definitely not be so easy to be caught.
"Originally, I was going to be beheaded." Yan Shibai continued to murmur, "But on the day of his ascension, there were countless civilians who pleaded for Xiao Lao'er, and the city lord had to leave my life as a last resort in order to calm everyone's emotions, and let me die of old age in prison, hehe, Xiao Lao'er is sixty this year, can he still live when he is released from prison?" ”
"Seniors don't worry, I will definitely take my seniors out." Qian Yunyue listened to Yan Eighteen's story, and her heart was touched a lot, but it was precisely because Yan Eighteen robbed the rich and helped the poor on weekdays and saved merit, so those people would intercede for him, otherwise the city lord would have cut him down with one sword, and he would have been killed.
"Hehe, the little old man has been in prison for ten years, and he never thought that he would have a moment to see the light of day. If you can get me out, little brother, you won't regret it. "Yan Eighteen actually understands very well what the purpose of the city lord leaving his life is, so he has also been waiting for an opportunity, Qian Yunyue is an adventurer, Yan Eighteen's intuition tells him that he has nothing to do with the city lord, even if this person has other purposes, as long as he can let him out, everything has to be discussed.
Qian Yunyue said to do it, it takes 2 points of city contribution to wash away the sin value of one day, he spent 6 points to get his three days done, and Yan Eighteen still has nearly thirty years of imprisonment to spend more than 2W points to wash, and there is another condition for releasing Yan Eighteen, that is, to interview the city lord and obtain his consent, it seems that things are not as simple as imagined.
"The lord of the city is insatiable, and treacherous and cunning, and the little brother is careful in everything." Yan Eighteen reminded Qian Yunyue.
Qian Yunyue nodded, followed the jailer who came to release him, walked out of the prison, and went to the City Lord's Mansion to meet with the City Lord.
