Chapter 21: Rescuing Master Hu

Liu Tongju walked into the study, and after saluting, he said: "Lord Guan, the lower officials heard a piece of news, saying that Wang Bao was hiding in the prison. ”

Guan Zhizhou suddenly stood up from his chair and said in surprise: "How is this possible!" ”

"I heard that Wang Bao bought a group of jailers and arresters, pretending to arrest him for theft and locked him in prison, but in fact he was healing his wounds in prison and could escape arrest." After Liu Tongju finished talking about this, he asked Ma Zhutou again: "Ma Zhutou, haven't you heard of this?" It can't be that he also took bribes, right? ”

"I haven't heard of it." Ma Zhutou patted his chest and said: "I, Ma, will never accept bribes from others!" ”

Liu Tongju snorted, and said to Guan Zhizhou: "Master Guan, do you want to go to the prison with you?" ”

"Ma Zhutou, you and Liu Tong are ...... sentence" Saying this, Guan Zhizhou stopped and thought: "This Ma Zhutou often collects black money, and maybe he also accepts bribes from Wang Bao, if he is allowed to go to prison, he may secretly make trouble." So, Guan Zhizhou continued: "Forget it, let's go in person." ”

"I heard that Master Hu is still in prison?" Liu Tongju asked.

Guan Zhizhou's heart tightened, and he asked rhetorically: "Why are you asking this?" ”

"You can't rub sand in your eyes!" Liu Tongju said angrily.

Guan Zhizhou looked at Liu Tongju unhappily, thinking about how to deal with him, so he listened to Liu Tongjuan and continued: "A person like Master Hu who eats inside and crawls outside, should secretly kill him and make an example." ”

When Guan Zhizhou heard this, his heart relaxed, and he said in a soothing tone: "Forget it, let him live a few more days, after all, Master Hu has been with Ben Zhizhou for so many years." ”

Liu Tongju said in a resolute tone: "Master Guan, you can't do it if you are soft-hearted, let the subordinate officials do this." ”

Guan Zhizhou said secretly: "In the future, let Liu Tongju kill Master Hu, so that Liu Tongju's hands will also be stained with blood." He patted Liu Tongjuan's shoulder with a pleasant face, and said, "I'll talk about this matter later, let's go to the prison first." ”

Outside the prison, Wang Prison saw Guan Zhizhou and Liu Tongjuan walking over with a smile, and thought: "Has Liu Tongjuan also been pulled into the water?" He nodded and greeted the two, but Guan Zhizhou and Liu Tongju ignored him, still talked intimately, and walked into the prison.

In prison, Guan Zhizhou carefully examined each prisoner to see if they had arrow wounds on their bodies, and after all the investigations, Wang Leopard was not found, and Guan Zhizhou walked out of the prison with some disappointment.

"Master Guan, that person who reported the news is really hateful!" Liu Tongju said on the side: "After the official goes back, he will definitely be heavily punished for fifty boards." ”

"Forget it, forget it. You can ask him to find out the whereabouts of Wang Leopard again, and if he can't, it's not too late to take him seriously. ”

"The lower officials obey the order."

Half an hour later, Liu Tongju came to the prison again with five people who looked like officials, and the head of the prison stopped Liu Tongju and said: "Lord Liu, the prison is heavy, and no one is allowed to enter without the permission of Lord Guan." ”

Liu Tongju took out the tiger head token and said: "There are unfinished matters just now, and the special official will deal with it." ”

After taking the token and looking at it carefully, Wang Prison took it and gave it back to Liu Tong, and then said, "Lord Liu, please." ”

Liu Tongju came to Master Hu's cell and ordered the prison head: "Open the prison door!" ”

"Lord Liu, Master Guan has instructed that Master Hu can only be interrogated by him personally."

"Wouldn't it be okay to have a tiger head token?"

"Nope." Wang Prison replied, and at the same time had a question in his heart: "Where did Liu Tongju get this tiger head token?" Will there be fraud? Before the head of the prison could figure it out, his soft and dumb acupoints were hit, and the person who pointed the acupoints was Bai Haohong.

It turned out that all this was a plan discussed by Bai Haohong and Liu Tongju, and the first time Liu Tongjuan and Guan Zhizhou came to the prison with a joke, it was to give Wang Prison a false impression: the relationship between Liu Tongju and Guan Zhizhou has improved. In this way, when Liu Tong was sentenced for the second time, Wang Prison would not suspect that the tiger head token was fake. came with Liu Tongju, who was accompanied by Bai Haohong and Liu Tongju, who dressed up as officials and followed behind Liu Tongju.

Seeing that Wang Prison Head refused to open the door, Bai Haohong immediately implemented the second set of plans, clicked on Wang Prison Head's acupoint, and then took the prison key that Wang Prison Head had with him and opened Master Hu's prison door. Bai Haohong took out the official clothes that had been prepared for a long time, asked Master Hu to change them, put Master Hu's clothes on the head of the Wang Prison, and finally walked out of the prison with Master Hu swaggering.

Master Hu followed behind Bai Haohong, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Fortunately, I kept an eye on it and imitated a tiger head token of Guan Zhizhou in case of emergency." I didn't expect that I would really use it today, otherwise not only would I die tragically in prison, but my whole family would also be wiped out. ”

In the evening, the news that Liu Tongju took away Master Hu reached Guan Zhizhou's ears, and he was so angry that he immediately took a group of people and angrily asked Liu Tongju to settle accounts.

When he arrived at Liu's mansion, Guan Zhizhou slapped the table and shouted: "Liu Maoli, hurry up and hand over Master Hu, otherwise you will be punished for the crime of robbing prison!" ”

Liu Tongju still said in a calm tone: "Lord Guan, didn't the official tell you at noon?" You are soft-hearted, and Master Hu will be dealt with by the lower officials. ”

"Where did you hide Master Hu? Benzhizhou is to see people alive and corpses to die! ”

"After the lower official tied up Master Hu, he threw him to the suburbs and watched him being eaten by wild dogs."

"You, you ......" Guan Zhizhou was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and after a while, he said: "You have to be examined, and you are not allowed to leave the house until the problem is clarified!" ”

Speaking of Caifa Inn, a gorgeously dressed businessman came this day, and the shopkeeper Ye Bao saw that the other party was a wealthy businessman, so he hurriedly greeted him in person, smiled and nodded and said, "Guest officer, please go to the room." ”

The merchant said, "I don't live alone, I have eighty carts of goods, and two hundred men to help me carry them, can you live here?" ”

When the shopkeeper Ye heard this, his heart blossomed, and he hurriedly said: "Our store is also a big store, and the business that our store can't take over, and other stores can't take it over." You can rest assured to live, if there are people who can't live and goods that can't be put down, I will arrange it, and you don't have to bother. When will your order arrive? ”

"I think about it, the goods are heavy, go slowly, according to the itinerary, it should arrive tomorrow afternoon."

After Shopkeeper Ye settled the guest, he asked people to report the situation to Wang Jin, the bandit leader of Bagou Mountain. Wang Jin heard that there were so many goods, so he gathered all the more than 500 bandits, went down the mountain together the next day, waited at the foot of the mountain, and sent two others to watch the wind on the main road.

At noon, the caravan slowly approached, and after a whistle, more than 500 bandits crossed the wide wheat fields and slaughtered the caravan. Seeing that the bandits were numerous, the escort threw down the truck, rode around and fled. Seeing that the bandits could snatch the goods of eighty carts without bloodshed, they all rushed to the wagons in high spirits.
