Chapter 177: Planned Escape
The owner of the village didn't say a word, and directly kicked Li Wu in the stomach. Li Wu's face turned blue with pain, he rolled on the ground holding his stomach, and kept shouting: "Lord Wang, help, kill someone, kill someone." ”
"What are you doing, all the noise?" The guards came over to accuse Li Wu of making a fuss, but they didn't see that Li Wu was injured at all. This is Chu Lingyi's special explanation, as long as no one is killed, just let them go.
Li Wu held on to the door of the cell and said with difficulty: "My lord, my lord, he beat me, beat me to death, and trouble you to save me, lock me up with the others." His eyes were full of pleading, longing to be separated from the owner.
"Do you think you're still the county magistrate you used to be, you're not even a fart now, be careful if you make any more noise, I'll kill you." The guard drew his sword to scare Li Wu, and Li Wu hurriedly hid in the corner.
"Heh, timid and scared people, Lao Tzu shouldn't have let you go up the mountain in the first place, and Lao Tzu's brothers followed you into the cell, you had better settle down, otherwise you will immediately ask for your face."
The mountain bandit leader rubbed his palms and slowly approached Li Wu. Li Wu wanted to lean back, but there was only a hard wall behind him, and no matter how Li Wu hid, he couldn't dodge.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Wu threw himself on his knees. "Spare me, my cheap life is not worth your hands, and it is easy to dirty your hands. Now that we are both defeated under Chu Lingyi, we should take care of each other, don't you say? ”
When it came to the defeat of his subordinates, the village was even more angry, he had been a mountain bandit for so many years and had never been defeated. Now it is a great shame to let Chu Lingyi be arrested without a single soldier.
However, when I think about Li Wu's words, there is nothing wrong with that, no matter the past, only the present. Now that he is in Chu Lingyi's cell, he has to find a way to get out.
"Then you say, do you have a way to get out of this cell?" How can it be said that Li Wu is also a former county magistrate, and this government office used to be his, and he understands the situation.
Li Wu couldn't stand up after being beaten, as long as he beckoned the owner of the village to pass. The owner of the village looked at the guards outside and walked to Li Wu's side with disdain. "Say it."
"Oh, you squat, I won't be crippled by you."
The owner of the village shook his head helplessly, and reluctantly squatted down and put his ear to Li Wu's mouth.
"There's a secret passage in the cell, which I set up for someone to set up, but the secret passage is in the cell opposite, and we have to find a way to lock one of us there." Li Wu said it very seriously, but the owner of the village was skeptical.
"Really? How does Lao Tzu know if what you say is true? Besides, I don't know if there is a secret weapon in your secret passage, what if you assassinate me? ”
The owner of the village didn't want to go out, when he always felt that Li Wu's words were not credible, maybe he was just trying to avoid being beaten by himself, so he tried to lock himself up on the other side.
Li Wu slowed down, leaned against the wall and slowly stood up, "Do you want to go out?" I'm like this, can't I still lie to you, and besides, what's the benefit of me if I lie to you. ”
The owner of the village thought about Li Wu's words, they were already like this, and there was no need to deceive themselves. "Okay, then I'll go."
"No, I'll go. I'm familiar, you're not. ”
"You want to run away alone? Hmph, you're thinking so beautifully, if that's the case, none of us should go out. The owner of the village finally saw through Li Wu's thoughts, and actually wanted to leave himself alone and run away, such a person is really sorry for himself if he doesn't give him a heavy hand. The owner of the village raised his palm and slapped it down.
Li Wu was dumbfounded, he was trying to find a way to get out, why was he beaten instead. "I'm kind, you're not familiar with the secret way, when I go out, I'll find someone to save you."
Li Wu really didn't think about escaping by himself this time, he planned to go with the village. One more person is better than one person, and besides, the owner of the village can protect himself with his fists and feet, but he was misunderstood.
"Hmph, I don't want to know what your heart is. Anyway, either I'll go, or we'll all die together. The owner of the village didn't want to believe Li Wu's mouth, and would rather take the risk alone.
"That's it, that's it. If you want to go, then you go, but don't forget to save me. ”
Li Wu thought about it, it's okay. If the guards see some clues in the past, you really can't leave. The owner of the village is different, he was imprisoned for the first time, and he will definitely not suspect him.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts. Big brother, please, let me go. ”
"You shut up for me, don't kill you, I'm a fool."
This time, the two of them are acting, in order to lure the guards over so that they can carry out their next plan.
"What's the matter, isn't it a big night to let people sleep?" The guard yawned, rubbing his eyes several times before barely opening them.
"I'm going to change cells, it's bad to be with this guy." The owner of the village grabbed Li Wu's neck and pushed Li Wu against the wall.
"You think this is your home, don't change it." With that, the guard turned to rest.
Li Wu immediately looked like he was about to die, and said with a dying breath: "Help me......"
The guards had a headache from being tortured by these two people, forget it. If you don't, you will give the switch, so as not to make noise and not give people sleep. "Come, you come out for me." The guard pointed to the owner of the village.
The corner of the village's mouth pulled and smiled proudly, I really didn't expect the guards to be so easy to fool, it seems that Chu Lingyi's ability to teach his subordinates is less than half of his own.
The owner of the village waited for the guards to fall asleep, and began to compare with Li Wu and the others to find a secret passage, preparing to escape. According to Li Wu's instructions, the owner of the village knocked on the floor tiles one by one, until he found that the business of one fast floor tile was different from the others. He squatted down to uncover it, and sure enough, as Li Wu said, there was a tunnel.
"It's hard to really know that you will be imprisoned, useless guy." The owner of the village hesitated and went down the tunnel directly.
As for Li Wu, he didn't want to save him at all. If it weren't for Li Wu's lack of ability as an official, he wouldn't have attracted Chu Lingyi, it was Li Wu who caused everything today. Those brothers in prison, he didn't want to save either. At the beginning, it was all for the ration in his hand that he followed up the mountain, and he was reluctant in his heart.
Li Wu breathed a sigh of relief, he believed that the owner of the village would not deceive him, after all, he told him the authentic secret, and he would never be so unsympathetic.
The owner of the village walked all the way along the tunnel, and he could only move slowly without candles. The tunnel was not long, and after a while, I saw a glimmer of light. When the owner of the village was about to escape, he was relieved that there was not only one way to the tunnel, but also a road that he did not know where it led.
He planned to go and investigate, maybe this was the place where Li Wu had secretly hidden the gold and silver treasures in advance. If that's the case, then he's already developed. Wherever he takes the money, he will be treated with respect.
"What the hell is the place, the yin is deep, and he has to think of a tunnel."
