Because of what happened in front of the hotel today, the city is rarely lively.

It's just that no matter how lively the city is, the Shanxi Road Prison is still silent as if it were another world.

The girl took the lantern prepared by the jailer in front of the cell door and walked in.

The prison on the mountain road is not very complicated, but the dim light and the harsh terrain of the construction are still a bit confusing in order to isolate the prisoners from collusion or something.

As soon as I stepped inside, I felt a little dizzy.

The thin figure of the girl stepped into the swarthy prison and looked as if it was about to be swallowed up.

Several officials guarding outside the prison looked at each other, and one of them said worriedly: "Why doesn't Master Qiao want me to lead the way?" ”

If they remember correctly, this Lord Qiao is only here for the third time today, could it be that they have led them twice, and they are already familiar with the situation in prison?

The official on the side shook his head and said, "I don't know, Master Qiao said that it would be good for her to go in alone, let me wait outside, and ......" The puzzled voice suddenly stopped, and the official who suddenly remembered something did not continue.

Qiao Ran didn't care about the voice of the official outside, and only walked towards the depths of the prison with a lantern.

There are very few people in the prison except for officials, even if there are occasional people, and most of them are led by officials, such as this kind of girl who appears alone in the prison without an official mission.

The prisoners, who seemed to have been sharpened by the prison, looked up, most of them withdrew their gaze after just one glance, and some looked at it twice.

This road, she had not walked before, the first two times under the leadership of the officials, she passed through the prison where the officials of Shanxi Road were held, and the officials in the prison were also seen, and here were the prisoners who were originally held in this prison, that is, the prisoners handled by Master Qian.

Qiao Ran, who had walked around, turned around and walked towards the cell where Ma Face was.

“…… I ate picture scroll steamed buns this morning, I like them a lot, what about you, Lord Qin? ”

Before he got closer, he had already heard the voice of the numb face, and it seemed that after these days, he and Qin Shu were becoming more and more familiar.

Because the next moment, she heard Qin Shu's answer.

"The eggs in the morning are delicious."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips when she heard this: No wonder people always like to ask "Have you eaten" when they meet, because no matter what kind of background this person is, what his temperament and preferences are, he always wants to eat.

Naturally, there is nothing wrong with talking about eating.

"I don't know what tomorrow will be, I haven't eaten bread in a while......" Ma Face still said.

Qin Shu, who was sitting on the haystack next to the cell door, tilted his head slightly, looked at the outside of the cell, and said, "Someone is here." ”

"Is it an official errand?" The spittle-like face that was talking was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Today's lunch was delivered very early, and I don't know what it is." ”

"It's not."

"It's not."

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.

Ma Mian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly grabbed the cell door and struggled to look out of the prison.

These two voices are a man and a woman, the man naturally comes from Qin Shu in front of him, but the woman can really hear him turn into ashes, which one is not that "gentle and beautiful"?

Qin Shu glanced at him, probably thinking about the "friends of the past few days", and replied to him: "The footsteps are not from the official, but from Master Qiao." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the girl laughing and moaning.

"Your Excellency!"

With this praise, people also appeared in sight.

He still carried a lantern in his hand, deerskin boots, a thick shirt and skirt, and a cloak on his body.

It's warm to wear! Ma Yan said in his heart, watching the girl smile and walk to the ground in the middle of his and Qin Shu's prison, and then squatted down, looked at the two of them with a smile and asked, "How are you eating these days?" ”

Ma Yan subconsciously replied, "I want to eat bread tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, he reached out and covered his mouth, what's the matter? What is he talking about?

Do you really treat this prison as an inn?

For a while, the expression on his face was entangled.

However, Qin Shu on the other side looked calm, thought about it seriously, and said, "It's best to have one meat and one scallion oil." ”

The corners of the pockmarked face twitched: This is really treating the prison as an inn, and ordering food!

However, "Gentle and Beautiful" didn't look angry at all, and responded with a smile: "I'll go out and talk to Zhou Shilin in a while." ”

Qin Shu nodded and said, "You're working."

The girl waved her hand and said, "You're welcome, I'm here to talk to the two of you." ”

Talk again? Ma Mian's heart jumped: she also came to talk to them like this a few days ago, and then after chatting for a long time, she was happy and left with a look of a lot of gains, but they were confused. This feeling that she only knows and others don't know is really weird, and it always makes him feel that he is an idiot.

Of course, he's definitely not an idiot. It should be that the "gentle and beautiful" on the other side is different from ordinary people.

Compared with the secret muttering in his heart, Qin Shu looked calm, and said when he heard it: "Master Qiao will ask if he has something to say, Qin knows everything and says everything." ”

The girl nodded and smiled and said "Okay", then put the lantern in her hand on the ground, reached out to touch her sleeve pocket, and after groping for a while, she found something that looked like a rolled-up account book from it, and said, "I went to the treasury of the government office yesterday and went around twice, and accidentally took this thing out." ”

Well, carelessly, take. That's a wonderful wording! Ma Yan said in his heart: This "gentle and beautiful" is really still the same style, the things in the treasury of the government will never be useless, she actually took out the things directly now, is it taking advantage of Lord Qian's absence? No, it's useless to be there, and I'm also locked up by the big governor from the capital.

Are these errands from Chang'an so wild? The hemp face secretly slandered himself.

"I found that before the officials were locked up, the prisoners who were originally held in this prison for minor crimes, such as theft and fighting, were all pardoned by Lord Qian, so at present, in this prison, except for the officials, there are some felons who cannot be pardoned, either death row prisoners who will be executed after the autumn, or felons who will not be released from prison for life." Qiao Ran said, "I just went over there to take a look, and there are nine of them. ”

Qin Shu listened carefully and didn't interject, because when he heard this, he didn't know what to do when he interjected, there was really nothing to say.

The girl said and flipped through the things that looked like the ledger, and said, "But the strange thing is that Master Qian recorded here that the number of these felons who cannot be pardoned is only eight. ”

There are actually nine people, and only eight people are recorded, one more.

Ma Yan listened carefully, and when he heard this, he hurriedly pointed to himself and reminded her: "It's me!" "He's not an official, he's in prison.

Is this "gentle and beautiful" a bad memory? She got him back!

Qiao Ran glanced at him and said with a smile: "You don't count." ”

In other words, there is indeed one more over there.

Qin Shu listened very seriously, and at this time, when he saw the girl looking at him and knew what she was going to ask, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, Master Qiao, I said that Lord Qian never told me about it." ”

The girl smiled and nodded, "I think so." There were nine prisoners in the cell, but the officials in charge of the prison did not know who these people were. ”

Qin Shu said: "This is the habit of Lord Qian, he remembers things very quickly, and he doesn't need the help of others, every prisoner in this prison, whether it is a death row prisoner who has committed a heinous crime, or a prisoner who is only locked up for a few months for stealing small things, he remembers it, but only he can remember, and many things are only known to him." ”

Qiao Ran said: "It can be seen that this Lord Qian is a person who strives to control everything in his own hands. ”

This statement made Qin Shu hesitate for a moment, but he still nodded: "What Master Qiao said is good, but Lord Qian's ability Qin also admires." ”

"At first, he and Zhou Shilin were martial arts careers, and later abandoned martial arts and literature, and went to the field for scientific examinations, but after a few years of review, he got a good term, you also said before that he remembered things very quickly, so I said that he never forgot it!"

Unforgettable? Qin Shu thought seriously for a moment and said, "It's not so exaggerated, but it's almost there." ”

"Without such ability, he would never dare to memorize everything by himself." Qiao Ran said, "In this way, it seems that Lord Qian needs to have means and ability, but this temperament is a little conceited." ”

Qin Shu fell silent when he heard this.

This silence looked in Qiao Ran's eyes, and she couldn't help but smile: "It seems that I am right." ”

However, just looking at the person of Lord Qian, he is not inferior to Zhou Shilin in terms of martial arts, and he can be in charge of himself after abandoning martial arts and literature, and such a rare talent in both civil and military affairs does have the capital to be proud.

"It's too rigid and easy to fold, your majesty is tolerant and elegant today, and Lord Qian won't fold it in His Majesty's hands, but it may not be folded in his conceited hands." Qiao Ran couldn't help but sigh when she said this, "Before Lord Qian left, he said that he had to leave if he had something, and he would definitely come back after he was done, but he hasn't come back until now." ”

This worried look looked at the side and grabbed his hair and was already stunned, and his numb face couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "Qiao Xiao, oh, Master Qiao, you really believe that he will come back after he escaped from prison?" ”

The numb face looked at Qiao Ran incredulously: This "gentle and beautiful" is obviously such a treacherous, insidious and powerful person, why is he stupid enough to believe the words of a felony who escaped from hostages at such a time?

Which escaped from prison will come back? Isn't that sick?

Qiao Ran ignored him, only looked at the silent Qin Shu, and said, "I believe in Lord Qian's promise, what about you, General Qin?" Do you believe in Lord Qian? ”

"Believe." Almost without thinking about it, Qin Shu blurted out. Just after saying "believe", he couldn't help but look up at her, as if he was a little surprised by her words: "Do you believe in Lord Qian?" ”

He believes that Lord Qian is because he has followed him for many years and knows what Lord Qian is like, so what about this Lord Qiao in front of him? Talking about friendship...... Well, it's the big governor from the capital who has a friendship, not her. It can be said that this Lord Qiao has almost no intersection with Lord Qian.

"Nature." The girl nodded and said with a smile, "It has nothing to do with friendship, and there is no friendship at all, that is, judging from his behavior, such a proud and conceited person generally does not and disdains to lie, and he ran away alone, and he didn't even mention the matter of his wife and children, obviously he doesn't seem to be ready to leave everything behind and not come back." ”

Qin Shu was silent: I almost forgot that the girl in front of her was an official of Dali Temple, and she could launch a lot of things with just a few clues, and this kind of ability to peel off the cocoon was her instinct.

This is believed to be nothing to do with friendship, but to reason.

"So, I'm worried about if something happened to him." The girl lowered her eyes as she spoke, "At this time, it's not a good thing that there is no news for a long time. ”

Qin Shu looked at her, was silent for a moment, and said, "What Master Qiao said is good, it's just that Lord Qian is used to being alone, and I really don't know what he is going to do." ”

Not only him, but I'm afraid that all the Shanxi Road officials locked up in this prison will not know about Lord Qian's plan. But just as Lord Qiao said, they don't believe in Lord Qian's methods, but are they really 100% sure of things in this world? No matter how powerful Lord Qian is, he is just one person, if something really happens to him, I am afraid that he will die with countless secrets and plans, and he will die as a fugitive, which is not a good thing for the entire Shanxi Road.

"Although I don't know what Lord Qian is going to do, I can guess what to do." The girl stood up as she spoke, reached for her waist, and pulled out a bunch of keys from her waist.

The bunch of keys that were taken out were dumbfounded: "Isn't this the key to the cell?" "It's always on those officials, I've seen it several times when the officials deliver meals these days.

The cold wind swept by, and the official who had been standing at the door for a long time yawning was shivered by the wind, and suddenly came to his senses, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at the official who was also yawning next to him and said, "By the way, what were you saying when Lord Qiao went in?" Why don't you talk about it halfway through? ”

After a laugh, the yawning official said, "What else can it be?" Master Joe took my key and said it would work! ”

The face of the official on the side who heard these words changed suddenly, and he said sharply: "What can you do with the key?" What else can you do if you don't open a prison cell? Have you mentioned this matter to the Grand Protector? ”

The yawning official was startled by his sharp voice, and after a pause, he touched the back of his head and said, "The Great Governor said that what Lord Qiao wants to do must not be stopped!" ”

"But this is a key to release people, is it a common thing?" The official who spoke out was already frightened, and glared fiercely at the official who handed over the key, and said, "You are watching here, I will go to the Great Governor to protect it!" ”

How could they have done such a big thing?

The official hurriedly strode away.

Qiao Ran took the key and corrected the inscription on the stone wall of the cell, then picked out one of them, and went straight forward to open the cell door.

When Qin Shu came out of the prison door, Ma Mian came back to his senses, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted, "And me, and me, Master Qiao, don't forget to release me." ”

Qiao Ran glanced at him and said, "I'm going to ask General Qin to help me identify someone." ”

"Who?" Ma Mian was stunned when he heard this, hurriedly pointed to his nose, and volunteered, "I also know a lot of people, and there are eighty old men in this city......"

"You stay here first, and I'll let you go after a while." Qiao Ran interrupted him with a smile and turned her head to look at Qin Shu.

Looking at Qin Shu's slightly frowning brows, she said, "Don't worry, this person, General Qin's guard must know." ”

Does he have to know him? Qin Shu was a little surprised, he didn't have such a good memory as Lord Qian, if he wasn't familiar with it, he had seen it a few times and didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to recognize everyone, how could Master Qiao be sure that he would know this person?

At this moment, the girl spoke again: "The wave of bandits that Lord Qian suppressed at the beginning of his tenure slipped through the net, the one that is very similar to the bandit leader who was beheaded by you personally, and the son of the bandit leader who even set off haunted rumors in the city." ”

That face, Qin Shu must remember.
