Chapter 121: Encounter
At this moment, a small and dense footsteps suddenly came from the depths of the cave, if you listen carefully, the footsteps are divided into two waves, the front footsteps are very light, the pace is also very messy, it should be only one person, and the back wave of footsteps is very deep, it sounds like there are at least five or six people.
"Stop!
"Rabbit cub, if you run again, I'll break your legs!"
"MD, stop me!
As these footsteps got closer and closer, the bursts of shouting and scolding gradually became clear.
In the blink of an eye, a figure ran out of a cave in front of this clearing and appeared directly in the line of sight of Situ Jin and Gao Wen.
The owner of this figure is a young man, his clothes are tattered, they have been torn in several places, and he is not wearing shoes under his feet, but barefoot, and his thin face is black and red, the black should be dirt, and the red is obviously dried bloodstains, how can the whole person look embarrassed?!
After the young man stumbled out of the cave, his already panicked face was even more frightened when he saw Situ Jin and Gao Wen, but he didn't stop, but closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and ran outside at a faster speed.
At this moment, a stone suddenly threw out of the cave behind him, and it ran straight towards the young man's back.
"Ahh
"Do you think you can run?" The footsteps in the cave finally stopped, and then several men dressed in prison guard clothes walked out of the cave, and the guard who walked in front sneered and said: "There is a formation set up at the door, even if you are allowed to run, do you have a way to run out?"
The young man who fell to the ground trembled and got up, a look of despair appeared on his face, and suddenly, he turned his head and shouted at several guards behind him: "I didn't kill anyone, why did you arrest me?
"It's not up to you to kill or not!" The leading guard opened his mouth, and as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed something unusual, he turned his head suddenly, and found that two people were standing less than five meters away from him, looking at him with expressionless faces.
The guard's face was so shocked that he began to stammer: "You you are just now"
I couldn't help but be surprised that this guard was none other than the guard officer that Situ Jin and Gawain met at the gate of Tias Prison in the evening.
The guard's name was Neil, and he was a low-level junior officer who was responsible for guarding the main entrance of Tias Prison, with less than 10 men under his command, and his daily duty was to stand at the gate of Tias Prison. When it's time, I'll change shifts with another team, and if there are no accidents, I'll be idle and bored every day, and I won't make too much money. For example, Neil, the chief, can't earn a single gold coin a month, not to mention the few people below him, who just make a living every month.
But that changed two years ago, when Neil's immediate boss approached him and said that there was something he wanted to do, but it was to be kept completely secret and never told to outsiders. Seeing the serious look on his boss's face, Neil also sensed the seriousness of this matter.
To put it simply, the story was that whenever the number of prisoners in Tias's prison reached 100, Neil and his team would escort them to a mine in the southwestern suburbs. At first hearing this, Neil was so frightened that it was not a small sin to take away the prisoners without permission! And to transport the prisoners to the mines? Does Tias have any minerals? He had never heard of it!
However, the boss's next words made Neil's heart flutter, as long as he was willing to do this, at least 20 gold coins per month, and the few people under him would each have at least 10 gold coins per month. 20 gold coins?Neil doesn't make 20 gold coins a year, which is definitely a lot of money in Neil's eyes.
However, the boss was not going to stop there, and added that if Neil and the others were willing to spend five nights out of ten days as overseers in the mines, he would get 50 gold coins a month, and his men would get 25 gold coins each.
Oh my God! 50 gold coins! Neil never thought that he would see 50 gold coins one day! Smashed by this huge profit, Neil didn't even think about it, so he agreed to his boss, saying that he was willing to do it, and by the way, he also agreed to make so much money for a few of his men, he didn't believe that his poor ghosts could refuse such a good thing!
Of course, the risks are always proportional to the benefits, but with so much money and courage, Neil feels that he is not afraid of anything.
Since then, Neil has worked part-time. In two years, no less than a thousand gold coins have flowed into Neil's pocket, and Neil has also changed from a person who can barely support himself to a small rich man in the town, not only marrying a wife for himself, but also raising a few little lovers outside, although he is tired compared to before, but Neil feels that life is quite happy.
Today, Neil detained 100 people from Tias Prison to this mine he was already familiar with, and came to change the guard with another team of overseers, but he didn't expect that when he just brought No. 100 people into the mine, a kid took advantage of the chaos to run out, although the formation was set up at the entrance of the mine, but Neil still led his men to chase him out.
Unexpectedly, at this time, I saw two familiar faces.
No matter how stupid Neil is, he knows that what he has done in the past two years is illegal, and he knows that the existence of this mine has not been reported to the Empire, and if someone finds out what they are doing now, let alone himself, his family will not want to live. Today, when he heard Gawain say that he was from the imperial capital, Neil was already vigilant in his heart, not to mention that Gawain gave him a bag of money, even if he gave him 10 bags of money, he would not ask for it.
It's not that he doesn't want it, but he can't afford it! Because there are not only few prisoners in Tias's prison, if you let someone from the imperial capital enter the prison, Neil knows that if he is not careful, he and his superiors or even the top superiors will be doomed.
"How did you guys get in?" Neil barely managed to compose himself after being surprised, and then looked at Situ Jin and asked Gao Wen.
