Chapter 82: Escape from Prison

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Fortunately, this small hill in the Lotus Temple is not as steep as Leshan, and the slope is relatively gentle, which easily made Su Lian stop and be unscathed.

Su Pian pitifully covered her injured arm, and there were tears left by her on the traces that rolled down all the way. She curled up at the foot of a large tree, not daring to move any more easily.

Looking at the bird that was awakened by her movement in the distance, Su Lian only felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, full of fear and grievances, so that she only knew that she kept muttering Xu Rulie.

However, at this moment, Su Lian's condition relapsed due to the night wind, and she was a little dazed with a hot head, but in the confusion of her eyes, she saw a man walking slowly over like a god.

It was so dark that it was too dark to see the man's face. The man slowly squatted down beside Su Lian, let out an inexplicable chuckle, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, and rudely fed Su Lian a pill.

Su Lian didn't want to eat strangers' things, but she choked and swallowed unconsciously.

"Who are you? What medicine did you give me? Let me tell you, I am not something you can move, my father is a servant of the ministry, and I am the concubine of the third prince......"

Su Lian was speechless to the person who suddenly appeared, and was startled by the pill he swallowed inexplicably, and subconsciously exploded his net worth, but when he read the last sentence, his voice was very lonely.

"Heh," the man smiled slightly, and this time his laughter could clearly hear the indifference and mockery, "After taking the medicine, do you feel much better?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Su Lian closed her mouth and thought about it, and she really felt that the strength in her body had recovered a little.

Pursing his lips and nodding lightly, the man stood up, rudely took Su Lian's arm, and led her to the way up the mountain.

"I told you what you want to do, if you dare to touch me, my father and His Royal Highness the Third Prince will not let you go." Su Lian's arm that the man was tugging on hurt but couldn't struggle.

The man was also completely deaf to Su Lian's words, so Su Lian couldn't help it for a while, and cried again. The man was full of helplessness, and only after finally reaching the stone path up the mountain did he let go of the person.

"Shut up, what is your identity, who is in your family, I know very well in my heart, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have gone up the mountain to meet you today."

"What do you mean by that?" Su Lian was very puzzled, normal people should feel very scared in this situation, but she was very special and lucky.

"You don't have to worry about anything else, I'm here to save you." The man was still standing with the light on his back, facing Su Lian, unable to see the expression on his face clearly, and he couldn't hear any emotion just by listening to this.

As he spoke, the man took out the medicine bottle just now from his arms and handed it to Su Lian, "There are two pills a day in this, and you will be fine after eating it." As long as you stay in the mountains with peace of mind, someone will naturally rescue you later, and if you dare to sneak out by yourself, even if you are not pulled and sold, you will die in the mouth of the beast. ”

The Lotus Temple is close to the small hills of the village city, and the altitude is only 100 meters, where are the beasts, there are few snakes and insects, but this kind of words are enough to fool Su Lian.

Sure enough, Su Lian believed that it was true, took the medicine bottle and nodded blankly, "I know, but who are you?" Did His Royal Highness the Third Prince ask you to save me? ”

"You don't have to worry about this matter, just stay in peace, and if anyone asks, you just need to say that you haven't seen me."

The words landed, and without waiting for Su Lian to stay, this person quietly disappeared from the dark woods as when he first came.

Su Lian looked back and saw that above was the courtyard wall of the Lotus Temple, and the position where she was standing was exactly on the steps before changing direction.

The next day, Xiao Huai'an got up in the morning and got off the morning court, and was about to go to the Supervision Imperial History Observatory to see the situation, but he didn't expect to be stopped when he passed by the Criminal Department halfway.

"It's Lord Xiao in the car, this official has something important to discuss with Lord Xiao, please take a step to speak."

This is a corner distance from the Criminal Department, and it is the newly appointed Criminal Department Shangshu Jinshan who speaks, since Jinshan took office, there has never been any embarrassing case, today he will take the initiative to find it, and he is anxious, I am afraid that the matter is not trivial.

Xiao Huai'an lowered his eyes, although he didn't have much friendship with Jinshan, his first impression was quite good, so he got out of the carriage and walked with him to the prison of the Criminal Department, and by the way, he heard what was going on with him.

"In the middle of last night, a prisoner who was locked in the prison suddenly disappeared, and a total of two jailers were in charge of the prison last night, but these two left their posts without permission and got drunk."

Jin Shan frowned and explained, pointing to the front, Xiao Huai'an looked in the direction, and saw that there was really a corpse covered with a white cloth on a stretcher outside the prison, waiting for the priest to come over for an autopsy.

"It wasn't until dawn the next day that one of them found out that he had died in the prison of the escaped prisoner, and then the other hurriedly remembered to report it."

The Criminal Department is not only in charge of the prison of the Yamen Criminal Department in the capital, but also the Heavenly Prison, its prison system should be the most rigorous place in the entire Daze, but this time it quietly asked someone to escape, and a jailer died, no wonder Jinshan was so anxious.

"The cells of the prison department are all made of iron bars, and each cell is made of a separate lock, and only one key is in the hand of the jailer, who must have felt that everything is worry-free, so he has the courage to drink, which is also a common thing."

If it is a human being, there will be inertia, and even Xiao Huai'an's supervision of the imperial history platform may not be able to guarantee foolproof. "It's just that they don't usually get drunk like that, and today's events are really strange."

"Did Lord Jin make it clear that when the two of them were on duty last night, no one from the prison came to visit?"

Hearing this, Jin Shan pursed his mouth and thought that the jailer who came to report must be receiving transcripts and reprimands at this moment, so he had to answer.

"According to the man, no one applied to visit the prisoner last night, only the wine and food that the two of them ordered from outside, and the second child of the restaurant stepped on it when he came to deliver the food,"

"That's it, if someone learns that this food and drink is sent to prison, and deliberately moves in the middle of the meal, trying to rescue people, it is not an easy task."

Xiao Huai'an nodded, leaned down, and before he could rush over, he lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, and the lips of the deceased had an unnatural bright red, which could support his conjecture.

"But even so, the gates of the prison are not so easy to sneak into." Jin Shan frowned, he has always been rigorous, but this incident happened under his nose, which was undoubtedly a major blow to him.

"They are already intoxicated, so maybe someone outside has bewitched the jailer and asked them to open it themselves. He also specially left a living mouth, which was a deliberate demonstration to my Daze Yamen. ”

Xiao Huai'an sneered, but what he said was not unreasonable, and as soon as Jin Shan heard it, his face became more serious.

"Master Jin, come with me to the prison and take a look, do you know that the prisoner who was rescued was imprisoned?"

The people who were piled up at the door of the prison when the words landed got out of the way, making a way for the two, and Jin Shan followed Xiao Huai'an's side, blurting out that he was familiar with the dossier.

"I know, because I stole the secrets of the military department, but it was only a suspicion, so I was only put in prison."

"Bingbu?" Xiao Huaian raised his eyebrows, the military department was more close and thoughtful than the criminal department in terms of discipline and supervision, and he did not escape the threat of being infiltrated.

"Yes, but this was also a year ago, after discussing with Lord Taiwei, Bingbu Shangshu was worried that the matter would be big, so he only quietly returned to His Majesty and put all the suspects at that time in the prison of the criminal department."

"And this person kept emphasizing that he did not collude with others, but because he came out to practice medicine, he happened to pass by when he returned home, but the military department was worried that someone would escape, so he was still locked up."

Jin Shan explained what happened succinctly, led Xiao Huai'an through the prison, turned a corner, and came to the area where ordinary prisoners were held, and in this ordinary cell, last night's escape incident occurred.

Xiao Huai'an closed his mouth and spoke, wrote down what Jin Shan said, looked at the big guy over and over again, squatted down and picked up the door lock that fell next to the pool of blood.

As in a normal cell, there are not many exits left in the prison area, and there is no other possibility of ventilation except for the fence wall and the air window at the back. Fortunately, the exterior of the building is very ventilated, so as not to suffocate the prisoners held here.

As for the chain in Xiao Huai'an's hand and the one-pound lock on it, the thickness is not something that an ordinary sword can cut, except for the jailer's key that is still inserted in the door lock, helping the escapees do not need to be tossed at all. This also shows how lax the jailers are in guarding the prison.

"A year ago, this doctor has been locked up here for a year, how much do you know about him, Lord Jin, such as whether he can do martial arts."

Xiao Huai'an looked around, and could only confirm that when the jailer was drunk and confused, he was taken advantage of to open the door.

"This person is a compound surname, named Wen Renyi, a traveling doctor who has only been in the capital for a long time, and he has never seen whether he can do martial arts, but he has another identity, he is from the Wa country."

Jin Shan's eyes lit up, and it was precisely because he knew how much influence this person's identity had at this time that he deliberately left it for the last explanation.

"Doctor Waguo," Xiao Huai'an raised his eyebrows, and casually hung the door lock in his hand on the fence, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
