The moonlight was bright, and a lonely shadow walked on the road, with the bleak chirping of insects and the occasional croaking of frogs, and there was a desolate atmosphere.

This was the third night that Jiu Ban had accompanied Ah Luan to see the moon, and at this time he had just finished tonight's mission and was on his way back to his residence.

After a few days of conversation, Jiuhan found that although Ah Luan was the sister of a bandit, she was actually a woman who understood righteousness. Although the second boss is a bandit in the mountains, he looks like a scholar when he talks on weekdays, and he is very kind to his own people. The only thing that the second master is worried about in this life is the marriage of his sister A Luan, and Jiuhan is deeply satisfied with his talent and ability, and his martial arts and martial arts are all in his eyes, whether it is looking at the present or for long-term considerations, Jiuhan is a rare talent in the eyes of the second master.

But Nine and a Half has absolutely no such thoughts.

And Ah Luan also saw that Jiuhan is actually a person who "has the world in mind", or even if he does not have the world, he will never succumb to the cottage. After a few days of getting along, the gentle and elegant temperament that belonged to the prince alone on Jiuhan's body and the sense of vicissitudes cultivated by all this experience after the death of the country deeply attracted Ah Luan. Maybe it's the girl's admiration for the hero, just like Guo Xiang's feelings for Yang Guo back then, Ah Luan really can't give birth to the idea of forcibly leaving Jiuhan in the cottage, and she even wants to help him escape.

So after thinking about it, this night, Ah Luan revealed a secret passage behind the mountain to Jiu Ban He, saying that he wanted to help him get out.

This is also the most tangled place of the nine and a half.

What if you are discovered? Wouldn't it ruin the girl's kindness? If you don't leave? How can you stay in the cottage for the rest of your life? Do you want to kill it in a dignified manner? Don't joke about it, there are so many people in this cottage, I'm afraid ten of them are not enough to kill......

Just as Jiu Ban was thinking, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and without waiting for Jiu Ban to think about it, he bowed down and saluted: "Thank you Jiu Ban Brothers for your grace in guiding water." ”

The sudden sound startled Jiu Ban, he hurriedly looked up, but saw a person who looked like a scholar with a sword standing opposite, so he hurriedly returned the salute and responded: "It's just a gesture, brother Tai doesn't need to thank you." ”

The man on the other side got up and smiled: "Brother Nine and a Half doesn't need to be nervous, I'm just here to thank you for this kindness." By the way, let's persuade the nine half-brothers to stay in the cottage. ”

"Oh, what did Brother Tai say about this?"

"Brother Nine and a Half has ever thought about why there is such a huge place inhabited by bandits and bandits in the country where the law is strict, especially near the capital of the country, is there such a huge gathering of bandits and bandits?

"I would like to hear the details, and ask my brother for advice. Indeed, this is a question that has not been largely thought about by nine-and-a-half. The laws of the city are so strict, and this bandit still has such a large group, it is indeed not normal to think about it.

"There is no other reason, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger...... the man turned around, looked in the direction of the lawsuit, frowned, and continued: "My mother was hit by a military horse on the side of the street and fell to the ground. I went up to theorize angrily, but I was imprisoned in the name of 'rushing sergeant!'" As he spoke, the scholar's emotions gradually became excited, "You say, in this country that only talks about the law and does not pay attention to human feelings, what reason is there not to oppose it? If I hadn't been saved by the sacrifice of the three masters, I must have fallen to the ground according to the law of the fierce man!"

"So Mr. Nine and a Half, in fact, to be honest, most of the people in this cottage were forced to go up the mountain. Who has a good life but has to live the life of a wandering bandit? It is impossible for anyone to have enough food and clothing, but in a country that only speaks of the law and does not speak reason, it is really difficult for people like us to balance!"

Yes, it does. If a country has only laws and does not reason, then it does not become a state apparatus, but how can a country become a state if it does not have a complete law?

But after all, the rule is that the dead are alive, and the law is made by man, and the law must be used wisely, otherwise a nation will become a nation.

Thinking of this, Jiuhan seemed to think of something, so he continued: "So, what happened to your mother?"

Yes, you are in prison and betrayed the city of lawsuits, and it is natural for you to be in prison. So, in a city as strict as the law, what would happen to a traitor's mother?

It was as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and the person standing in front of Jiu and a half was suddenly stunned. He was like a kitten hanging by the neck of a mother cat, and his eyes were full of tears while he was motionless.

Jiuhan didn't speak, just quietly walked around him and walked towards his residence.

Although he was determined to leave in his heart, at this moment, he also decided never to tell others about the location of the cottage. After all, the hateful man must have pity, and the poor man has not hurt his life, so why should he bite back and be the snake in his arms?

So a few hours later, taking advantage of the faint morning light, Jiu Ban quietly packed up a little of his things and fled down the mountain alone along the hidden path.

After going down the mountain for an hour, it was already approaching the official road, and Jiuban was groping his way forward. Only vaguely, he felt that the figure on the road ahead was very familiar. But he was still in the mountains, and he didn't dare to act rashly at all, so he could only continue to move forward cautiously.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, that person really seems to be someone I know?

It's just that before Nine and a Half speaks, the person on the other side said: "Nine and a Half Brothers?" The voice was extremely familiar.

"Wei Xicheng?" Nine and a half were so surprised that he was about to jump up! I didn't expect that this person who was like-minded with him had been waiting for him at the bottom of the mountain, and he thought that this person would lead Lu Shu and sneak away!

But looking back, Lu Shu was originally a divine beast, and he was just turned on the ability of divine action a few days ago, so it was so easy to be deceived?

Wei Xicheng almost jumped over, and hugged Jiuhan as soon as he grabbed it: "Brother Jiuhan, you just surprised me so much, I said that Jiren has his own natural appearance, hahahaha, I thought you had been detained in the cottage by those gangsters, and quickly reported to the official to save you!"

"What??" said Nine-Half, almost in surprise, but then a burst of unusual voices in his ears confirmed his thoughts: the sound of marching footsteps came, but it was not heavy, but on the contrary, there was a hint of caution.

Come to think of it, this is the sound of the government marching.

As soon as Wei Xicheng confirmed that the official army arrived at the foot of the mountain, the spirit became very nervous in an instant. Is it really a coincidence that the government army came to encircle and suppress him after he escaped from the cottage with his front foot?

In this case, how will the girl who let go of herself without permission be treated?

But after hesitating for a long time, Jiuhan still gave up the idea of running back to the cottage to report the news. After all, even if it was a copycat "bandit", he didn't want to be taken back as a hostage again.

Seeing that there was something wrong with Jiuhan's expression, Wei Xicheng was also a little confused: "Brother Jiuhan, what's wrong with you? Isn't this already escaped?"

"It's okay, it's okay...... Brother Wei, let's go. Jiuhan didn't say much, after all, what he had experienced in the past few days, even if he said it, no one would believe it, right?

After following Wei Xicheng back to the nine and a half of the lawsuit, there was a stone in his heart that he had never been able to put down. Wei Xi wanted to take him home to settle down, after all, Lu Shu had already been settled in his yard by him, but Jiu Ban insisted on going to drink.

"Hahaha the nine-and-a-half brothers are really good drinkers, and the wine worm in the stomach just escaped from the cottage can't be suppressed?" Wei Xicheng didn't think much about it, just quipped.

Jiuhan shook his head and didn't say much.

"Yes, yes, it's time for a drink to suppress the shock. Let's go, brother, please!"

Pulled the nine halves to the Yanque Building, asked for two jars of rice wine and four dishes of side dishes, and the two of them drank it.

Located in the east of the city, it is the largest tavern in the city. The three sects and nine streams converge here, although it is always noisy and always full of people, but it is the most well-informed place in the entire Song City.

Despite being in the tavern, Nine and a Half didn't seem to be drinking. In other words, he didn't care about drinking, so he was very drunk. When Wei Xicheng didn't feel anything, he was already slightly drunk in the middle of nine.

In the haze, Yanque Lou suddenly blew up, as if something big had happened. Nine and a half pricked up his ears and tried to listen for a long time, but he didn't understand what was going on.

"Brother Wei, what's going on in the lawsuit? Why does the Yanque Tower seem to have exploded?"

"Huh? you still don't understand?" Wei Xicheng looked at Jiu Ban as if he was staring at a fool: "It's the cottage that captured you, and it was served by the government! They captured a lot of bandits, and those people simply deserved it." Wei Xicheng's voice was a little excited, he swallowed his saliva and continued: "When attacking the village, the flesh and blood were flying, do you know? The gang of bandits resisted very fiercely, and a small half of them died, and even the two leaders were killed on the spot! And ah......"

"What? The second master is dead?!" Nine and a half almost roared, but even though he controlled his voice, it was not so small that the second master died, but why did his first reaction be to think of that A Luan who was weak but could understand himself?

Thinking that it was after he escaped from the cottage, the government army attacked it, as if he had betrayed the cottage.

I don't know who deserves it.

Then, without waiting for Wei Xicheng to react, Jiu Ban rushed out directly, plunged into the flow of people and disappeared.

This made Wei Xicheng look confused and at a loss.

A few minutes later, Jiu Ban turned back and stood in front of Wei Xicheng again, making him a little overwhelmed.

"Brother Wei, how should I get to the Yamen of Sucheng City?"

"Nine-and-a-half brothers, don't get excited....."

"It's okay, Brother Wei, I have my own way. ”

"It's not a question of whether you have a way to ...... in the city"

"What's wrong with the lawsuit, isn't the lawsuit city the most about the legal system? Today, I have to say a few words for the people in the cottage outside the city!"

Jiu Ban said this sentence very loudly, and at this time he was already standing at the gate of the Yamen of the lawsuit, this sentence was said, and the surroundings were suddenly silent, whether it was pedestrians or officials, they were all sideways.

"In the city of lawsuits, those who intercede for sinners will be regarded as guilty of the same crime......" Wei Xicheng finally said the words that he had never spoken, but his voice became smaller and smaller.

The whole scene seemed to be embarrassed for a few seconds, and then only heard a "boom", the main gate of the yamen was opened, and two teams of officials came out with sticks, and then a middle-aged judge walked out of it. I saw that the judge's face was dark, and there was a star-shaped mark on his eyebrows, which was impressive.

The judge paced, walked to the gate of the yamen, and then said to Jiu Ban slowly: "This official wants to see, who is it and who dare to intercede?"

As if he hadn't heard the warning of the previous guard, Jiuhan took two steps forward and said, "In the lower Jiuhan, the people from the north. I heard that nearly 100 bandits outside the city were arrested today, but I don't know ......"

"Oh, you're interceding for the bandit out of town?"

"Exactly!"

"Oh~ this official knows..... Come on, take this person down for me!" Before the judge's words fell, more than a dozen officials around him rushed up and directly surrounded the nine and a half groups in the center, as if they were not planning to release them.

As soon as the official was surrounded, he panicked: "Lord Judge, I don't know what kind of crime the villain has committed, and the adult is going to take me right away?"

"Heh....." The judge sneered, looked at Jiu and a half like an idiot, and then his expression became extremely serious: "Do you know that according to the law of the sinner, those who intercede for sinners will be regarded as guilty of the same crime?"

Hearing this, Jiu Ban was directly dumbfounded. It wasn't that he didn't hear the exhortation of Wei Xiyan just now, but at that time he just thought it was a custom, who would have thought that this article was actually written into the law?

Ignoring Jiuban's dumbfounded expression, the judge paused and continued: "The Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention you, a foreigner?

Jiu Ban opened his mouth, wanting to defend something, but before he could speak, Wei Xicheng took the first step and said to the judge: "Lord Judge, in Xia Wei Xicheng, the people of the lawsuit, I don't know if I can say a few words for this stranger?"

"Oh, it turned out to be the guard master of the Dragon Gate Dart Bureau. The Guards know ......"

Without waiting for the judge to finish speaking, Wei Xicheng preemptively said: "Exonerating the sinner will be regarded as the same crime, and I will naturally know it, but at this time, this little brother is still convicted, isn't it? 'I wonder if you can give this little brother from a foreign country a chance?'

After Wei Xicheng finished speaking, the judge thought about it for a long time, and finally decided not to punish the guilt of Jiu and a half. Before letting go of Nine-and-a-half, this man took a closer look at the "foreigner" in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"Brother Nine-and-a-half, you're really scared me to death. Wei Xicheng walked down the street with nine and a half miles, and the direction was his home. At this time, it was the time when Wei Xicheng had just exonerated Jiu Ban and led Jiu Ban home. "You don't know that the laws are especially strict in the land of the Fierce. If it weren't for your stranger status and unfamiliarity with the law this time, I'm afraid you'd be imprisoned like those bandits......"

Wei Xicheng kept talking on the side, but Jiuhan almost didn't listen to anything.

He was thinking about his own business.

“...... Also, why did you say you were so serious just now? You act like you're the same kind of bandit, you know?" Wei Xicheng was a little emotional when he spoke, but Jiu Ban didn't listen, but interrupted what he said and said, "Brother Wei, I want to visit the prison." ”

"Ah, what are you talking about?" Wei Xicheng was stunned when he heard this.

Nine and a half looked serious.

"Nine-and-a-half brothers, you're not kidding, are you? ”

Nine and a half are certainly not kidding.

As soon as Jiu Ban escaped from the cottage, the people of the government attacked the cottage. Except for Jiu Ban and Wei Xiyan, the two people who know the inside story, from anyone's point of view, it's too coincidental, right?

No matter who judges this embarrassing situation, I'm afraid they will think that Jiu Ban is a traitor in the government, right?

Moreover, after going up the mountain in the ninth and a half years, the two people who were best for him were the second master and the second master's sister Ah Luan, and Ah Luan was the one who secretly released him from the cottage. In a sense, the second master died in battle because of him, so he should go to visit Ah Luan in prison.

Even with the robbery of the prison and the taking away of Ah Luan, it is not impossible.

Nine and a half brainstormed thinking about how to visit the prison or even rob the prison, and Wei Xicheng, who heard the idea that he was going to visit the prison, went crazy.

"Brother Nine-and-a-half, let me tell you, according to the law of the lawsuit, only the relatives of sinners can have the right to visit, and other unrelated people are not allowed to visit!"

"What if I say I'm the fiancé of a female prisoner.....?

"What?!!!"

"It's okay, it's okay, brother, let's continue to talk about other ......"

Jiu and a half still looked light, and Wei Xicheng was almost completely crazy.

The two discussed this matter back and forth for almost half an hour, and finally reached an agreement: Wei Xicheng tried to take Jiu Ban in to visit the prison, but Jiu Ban promised that Wei Xicheng's time would definitely not exceed half an hour, and the time scheduling and visitation plan were completely subject to Wei Xicheng's arrangement.

In this way, Jiu Ban agreed, no longer insisting on his own ideas.
