Chapter 18: Accidents
It took Yang Yifei two days to make a total of 512 thunderbolts of various colors, and he secretly put more than 200 of them into his personal package, and the others were packed in sacks except for some in their cloth bags.
Then they chose the location of the prisoner, and after a few days of investigation, they found an excellent spot not far in front of Sanlipo.
There are two small hills on both sides of the official road, and there is a gap of more than a foot from the official road, which is just so condescending that the thunderbolt does not need to be smashed hard, and the height alone is enough to make the thunderbolt explode.
After deciding on the place of the prisoner, the three of them wrapped the thunderbolts in damp-proof oil paper, hid them in a thorn bush on the hill, and then returned to Haizhou City.
They bought a large amount of dry food, and in addition to their own food, they also prepared rations for the Zhuang family.
Then they bought a large amount of oil paper and set up a few improvised tents behind the hill, so they simply stayed on the hill for fear of missing the escort team.
Occasionally, you can see pedestrians coming and going on the official road, some on foot, some riding in horse-drawn carriages or donkeys, and some galloping horses.
During the waiting time, Yang Yifei also went out a few times to survey the escape route, and the Zhuang family had thirty or forty people, but it was not just to save them, but they must also ensure that they completely disappeared from the sight of the Qing court.
Soon, a perfect "evaporation in the world" plan was perfected in Yang Yifei's rush.
……
Time passed in a hurry, and on this day, Yang Yifei and Wei Xiaobao were lying on the withered yellow grass behind the hill basking in the sun, chatting with each other.
"Xiaobao, what are your plans after rescuing Shuang'er?"
Listening to Yang Yifei's words, Wei Xiaobao scratched his smooth forehead and sighed: "I don't know, I don't know anything, without you, I can't even eat." ”
"Uncle Guang entrusted Shuang'er to me before he died, but I feel that I can't take care of her at all, and I can't even take care of myself, so I can only take one step at a time."
Yang Yifei glanced at him speechlessly, and said, "You haven't thought about learning any craft?" Is it just like this for the rest of your life? ”
Wei Xiaobao said lazily: "Forget it!" I can't stand the life of being an apprentice, I am already destined for this life, and I will definitely return to Lichun Temple to be a turtle boy in the future. ”
“……”
Yang Yifei was speechless, and shook his head with a smile, now because of his chaotic entry, the plot of the world of Lu Ding Ji has been changed.
Wei Xiaobao entered Beijing to save Shuang'er, if he could successfully rescue the Zhuang family here, Wei Xiaobao would naturally have no reason to go to the capital.
Then he will not be taken captive into the palace by Hai Dafu again, and many things will not happen again, but what will not happen may happen.
Although the more he changes the plot, the more points he can get, but when he loses his prescience of the plot, it will undoubtedly make him unable to accurately grasp the situation, which will make it much more difficult.
But Yang Yifei didn't care, in this world, as long as he acted carefully enough, there were not many people or things that could threaten his life.
He is in prison in the Overworld, and if he wants to get out of trouble as soon as possible, he must rely on the system, but where the system can help him, he must pay for it with points, so he must do his best to earn points.
At this moment, Mao Shiba's voice came from the ears of the two: "Brother Yang, Xiaobao, here, the team of officers and soldiers escorting the Zhuang family is here." ”
Yang Yifei and Wei Xiaobao immediately jumped up and looked to the side, Mao Shibai was striding briskly from the small forest next to the official road.
"Where are they?" After Mao Eighteen rushed to their place and sat down to gasp for breath, Yang Yifei asked.
After Mao Shibai took a breath, he said, "When I saw them, they were about five miles away from here, and now there should only be three miles left. ”
Yang Yifei nodded, and asked again: "How many officers and soldiers are there?" ”
Mao 18 said: "There are two hundred households, more than 200 people, but it's a bit bad, I only saw the female dependents in the escort team, not the men." ”
"What?" Yang Yifei's face changed greatly, and he looked at Mao Shibai uncertainly, "How can this be?" Could it be that all the men have been summarily executed? ”
In this way, he did not save them from prison in the first place, didn't he harm them instead?
Mao 18 muttered: "That's not true, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, prisoners involved in the death penalty need to be handed over to the three law divisions of the criminal department for trial and approval, and it is impossible to kill them directly in Yangzhou." ”
"And the great crime of the nine clans is not to kill all the nine clans, men aged sixteen and above will be beheaded, and those under the age of sixteen can be spared death and confiscated into the army."
"The female dependents are usually assigned to the side plugs and enslaved the Manchurian flag soldiers, and I guess the men should have been escorted to the waterway."
"The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal can lead directly to the capital, and the boat ride is relatively fast, it seems that there are big people working hard, and they want the man to arrive in the capital as soon as possible, so that he can get a confession and be convicted as soon as possible."
"These female dependents, there is no need to send them to the capital at all, they plan to escort the female dependents directly to the border fortress, most of them are Ningguta."
As soon as Mao Eighteen finished speaking, Yang Yifei already understood that it must be Aobai, this is terrible, when the female dependents are rescued, he must rush to the capital as quickly as possible, otherwise it will be too late.
He remembered that in the original play, Zhuang Yuncheng was tortured and abused to death because he refused to admit his guilt and could not bear the torture to extract a confession in the prison of the Criminal Department.
The other men were secretly executed by Aobai, and as a result, fake prisoners were used to lure the people of the Heaven and Earth Society into the bait.
If he moves fast enough, maybe there is still a chance to save Zhuang Yuncheng.
It was faster to travel by boat than on foot, but he had a carriage, and it was faster to ride than by boat, and it would have been faster if he had not been able to ride a horse.
Wei Xiaobao didn't care about the life or death of the Zhuang family at all, as long as Shuang'er was fine, he immediately relieved himself when he heard that all the female dependents were in the escort team, and he was in the mood to ridicule: "Eighteen brothers, you are a Jiangyang thief, and you are so familiar with the laws of the Qing Dynasty." ”
Mao Shibai rolled his eyes and said: "Nonsense, the more people in the green forest who break the law and break the ban, the more they must know enough about the law, otherwise they don't know how to die, and their companions don't know how to rescue." ”
Yang Yifei waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense first, take out the thunderbolt bomb, get ready, remember, put the unfed cloth bag on the left, and put the fed on the right." ”
"Throw the material into the official group, if it is too close to the Zhuang family, use the one that is not added, do you remember it?"
"Remembered."
"Okay, action."
……
On the official road, Shuang'er followed closely beside the third young grandmother and looked at her worriedly.
After being escorted out of Yangzhou, she looked lost all the way, and Shuang'er knew why, it was because of Master Zhuang that they were escorted to the boat.
The chivalrous man said that he would save them near Haizhou, but Master Zhuang and the others were suddenly escorted onto the boat and took the waterway, and I don't know if the chivalrous man knew the news.
If that chivalrous man didn't know, Master Zhuang would be more than lucky.
Neither the Zhuang family nor the escorted officials, including Yang Yifei, noticed that in the forest on the left side of the official road, a white figure flashed by.
