Chapter 20: Prisoner Robbery
The banquet was held in the largest flower hall of the Governor's Palace.
The flower hall is very quaint, the walls are hung with ink, and the screens are painted with ladies and beauties.
In front of the turquoise light Luo Gao hanging window, gently swaying with the breeze.
Although it was late autumn in October, there was not a hint of chill in the air.
Because there are also several red copper stoves set up in the four corners of the house, the charcoal fire in the stove is flourishing, bringing just the right amount of warmth to the guests, but it does not make people feel hot at all.
The environment here is already very beautiful, but the menu is quite rich.
Lamb meat, stuffed skins, fish roe, sugar and oil cakes, each dish is a unique local delicacy in Liangzhou.
Especially the lamb meat, fat but not greasy, thin but not fat, you can smell the strange fragrance from a distance, which can be called a delicacy outside the plug.
Although the food was tempting, Qin Sheng was not in the mood to eat at all, in fact, she didn't want to come at all.
Ever since she found out Yu Chi Baolin's true face, she didn't want to see him again at all, especially seeing him pretending in front of her, she almost didn't want to stay for a moment.
But she still came, because before leaving, Jiang Shenzhou told her that she had thought of a way to save her. Although he didn't elaborate, she still forced herself to come in order to save her servant Gusamo.
"Come, the two of you have worked hard, and the hospitality is not good." Yu Chi Baolin held the wine bottle high and said with a smile.
Jiang Shenzhou raised the wine bottle and replied: "Wei Chi is serious, there are many disturbances these days, and we don't want to go." Qin Sheng really admired him, he knew who Yu Chi Baolin was, but he could still laugh.
Yu Chi Baolin drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, wiped the corners of her mouth and said: "The ginger sacrificial wine is too polite, and it is within the responsibility of the governor to cooperate with the two inspections." But ......"
He looked at Jiang Shenzhou with a smile and said, "I remember that the people invited were obviously all the people in Tiance Mansion, why didn't the others come?" ”
Jiang Shenzhou smiled and said, "All the governors forgive their sins!" We're going to leave tomorrow, time is pressing, and the brothers are still preparing what they need along the way, so we can't get out. ”
"I see." Yu Chi Baolin muttered: "So it is Ben Du who blames them, and I will punish myself with three cups." As he spoke, he drank three glasses of wine in a row.
He was drinking, but his eyes were always on Qin Sheng.
It's been a long time since the banquet was held, and Qin Sheng hasn't moved his chopsticks, and he has barely spoken, which is hard not to notice.
"What's wrong with Sister Qin Sheng? Why don't you eat it? Yu Chi Baolin asked with a squint.
"Uh...... I ......" Qin Sheng didn't know how to answer, Jiang Shenzhou had to open his mouth to relieve her: "Forgive me, Governor, she has been feeling a little unwell these days, probably because she is not used to eating things here." ”
"Is that so?" Yu Chi Baolin asked suspiciously.
Qin Sheng smiled reluctantly, and at this moment, she saw Jiang Shenzhou on the opposite side and secretly shook his head at her.
As if to say, "Be patient, and don't let him find out." ”
Thinking about this, Qin Sheng took a deep breath, raised his wine glass and said to Yu Chi Baolin: "Brother Yu Chi, you have taken care of me a lot these days. Qin Sheng toasts you. ”
Yu Chi Baolin said: "Okay, okay, this is the Qin Sheng sister I know." He laughed with satisfaction, and there was finally no defensiveness in his eyes.
Next, Yu Chi Baolin drank a big sip of wine, while gushing about his past war with the Xue Yantuo people on the border of Liangzhou, and his words were quite proud, as if Liangzhou could hold on to this day thanks to his own efforts.
Jiang Shenzhou could only pretend to listen carefully, and from time to time he had to flatter him a few words with hypocrisy, and his hand was placed next to his ear, as if he couldn't help but want to plug his ear. But the more Yu Chi Baolin talked, the happier he became, and the happier he was, the more he said.
Gradually, his face turned red, his eyes began to blur, and after a while, he finally fell heavily on the table.
He's drunk!
Qin Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the banquet was finally over.
But she had just breathed a sigh of relief, and she couldn't help frowning, because she suddenly found that Jiang Shenzhou was also lying on the table at the moment, and one of his faces was almost buried in the dish, but he was indifferent.
He's actually drunk, too!
Qin Sheng had no choice but to call the servants in the mansion, and with the help of the servants, she finally brought the drunken Jiang Shenzhou to the door of the Governor's Mansion.
Out of the Governor's Mansion, she was so tired that she couldn't breathe.
Jiang Shenzhou was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, his head hanging motionless, looking like a dead man.
"But when you get drunk at this time, are you measured?" Qin Sheng kicked him lightly and complained in a low voice.
"Who said I was drunk?" Jiang Shenzhou suddenly spoke, and his eyes opened at the same time as he spoke, his eyes were extremely clear, not at all like a drunk person.
Qin Sheng was pleasantly surprised: "You...... All pretended? ”
"Shhhh......h
He took Qin Sheng around the street, and it didn't take long for him to come to a house, the door was hidden, and it opened as soon as he pushed it. Gao Dawei was waiting for them inside.
Jiang Shenzhou didn't care about greetings, and as soon as he entered the room, he asked, "Are the things ready?" ”
Gao Dawei pointed to the inner room and said, "It's ready, it's inside." ”
Jiang Shenzhou hurriedly pulled Qin Sheng into the inner room, where there were two pairs of iron armor, and the style of the iron armor was exactly the same as that worn by the guards of the Governor's Mansion.
Looking at the two pairs of iron armor, Qin Sheng couldn't help but ask, "What is your plan?" How to save the old general? ”
Jiang Shenzhou said: "Time is pressing, you change into this body first, and when you change into it, we will talk while walking." As he spoke, he put on his iron armor.
Qin Sheng didn't ask any more questions, and silently put on his armor.
"After we go in a while, I'll talk, and you must not speak." After putting on the armor, Jiang Shenzhou admonished.
"Where do we go in?" Qin Sheng is still in the clouds.
"Liangzhou Prison." Jiang Shenzhou said.
"Dressed like this?" Qin Sheng said.
"Yes."
"And then?"
"Then we'll take Sugkusamo out of death row."
"Won't the jailer stop you?" Qin Sheng asked.
"They don't dare! Because we are now the guards of the Governor's Palace. Jiang Shenzhou said: "Have you forgotten what the jailer said last night?" No one in the Governor's Mansion dared to mess with him. ”
"Pretend to be a guard, that's your plan?" Qin Sheng suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
"I know it's a bit risky, but it's the best I can think of." Jiang Shenzhou sighed.
Qin Sheng hesitated and nodded: "Then let's do it." ”
It was late at night, it was death row, and it was the two jailers.
The difference was that the two jailers were still conscious, leaning against the wall with their hands folded and their heads down.
Since they had been taught a lesson last night, they had not dared to sleep any more, and not only did they not dare to sleep secretly, but they did not even drink any more wine today.
But being on duty on a cold night is a bitter thing after all, and the two of them are already sleepy and yawning for days. It was at this time that they suddenly heard a cough.
At the sound of the voice, the two jailers poked their heads out, and saw two men standing in the doorway, and the jailers may not recognize these two men, but they must have recognized their armor.
"Two adults, what do you command......" The two jailers quickly knelt down and trembled.
Jiang Shenzhou said: "Go and call the prisoner." He deliberately kept a straight face and pretended to be cold and arrogant.
"Yes, the villain will go." One of the jailers sprang to the side, and after a while, the jailer came.
When he arrived, he didn't even dare to look at them, but lowered his head and asked, "Two ...... The two adults came to visit late at night, and they didn't know what to order. ”
"The governor wants to interrogate the servant Gusamo, and you go and bring him." Jiang Shenzhou said coldly.
"But ......" As soon as the prison Cheng wanted to speak, he was immediately interrupted by Jiang Shenzhou: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
"No...... Don't dare, let's do it. The prisoner replied in horror, and he quickly brought him out of death row.
Since the people had already been brought, Jiang Shenzhou no longer needed them, so he waved them back.
Now, only Jiang Shenzhou, Qin Sheng, and Fugu Shamo were left outside the death row door, and Fugu Shamo was also surprised when he first saw them, but when he saw the iron armor on the two of them, he quickly understood what they meant. He sighed, as if blaming them for risking their lives.
But at this point, he could only go with them.
The immediate question is, how should the three of them get out of Liangzhou Prison?
This was originally a troublesome matter, but Qin Sheng found that along the way, no one dared to stop them, and they didn't even dare to ask. It seems that Jiang Shenzhou is right, the iron armor of the guards of the Governor's Mansion is indeed very deterrent.
Soon, the three of them were only one step away from the gate, and as long as they got out of this gate, Jiang Shenzhou's plan would be considered a success. Everything went so smoothly, and it was a little unreal.
"Two and ...... slowly" Just as the three of them were about to step out of the threshold of the gate, a voice suddenly sounded.
In the darkness, a man in a cyan official uniform walked over slowly, he did not come alone, more than a dozen jailers with knives followed behind him.
"The two seem to be the governor's guards, but ...... The lower officials have been here for many years, why have they never seen you? The man in the official uniform asked suspiciously, as if he had seen through the identities of the two.
Qin Sheng suddenly became nervous, she was so nervous that she almost drew her knife, but Jiang Shenzhou quietly stopped her hand.
"Who are you?" Jiang Shenzhou asked with a sneer.
"Xiaguan is Liangzhou Facao."
"Just a few Fa Cao, dare to question our identity?"
"The lower officials don't dare, if the two are really from the Governor's Mansion, they must have the credentials on them, as long as they can get the vouchers, the lower officials naturally don't dare to be embarrassed." Facao squinted at them and said unhurriedly.
"Credential ......" Jiang Shenzhou muttered, his hand slowly raised, as if he was ready to draw his sword and fight.
But he didn't draw the knife, his hand reached into his bosom and took out a piece of paper, raised it and said, "You mean this?" "The paper is stamped with a big red seal, and there are six words on the seal: the seal of the Liangzhou Governor's Office.
As soon as he saw these six words, Fa Cao's face suddenly turned pale, and even his voice trembled: "The lower official has no eyes, beg for ...... Ask for forgiveness. As he spoke, Facao had already knelt down, not only him, but everyone behind him knelt down as well.
"Kneel down until dawn and get up."
After leaving this sentence, Jiang Shenzhou ignored him, and the three of them walked straight out of the Liangzhou prison.
Out of the gate, Qin Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, remembering the thrilling scene just now, she still had palpitations in her heart.
"I thought he had seen through it just now...... But where did you get your voucher from? ”
"See for yourself." Jiang Shenzhou smiled and handed the paper in his hand to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng almost laughed when he saw it, this piece of paper was the passage document that Yu Chi Baolin gave them a few days ago. The passage document was originally used for the inspection of the barracks, and it was clearly written on the paper. In that case, why did Fa Cao mistake it for the Governor's Office?
Qin Sheng thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that when Jiang Shenzhou grabbed the paper just now, he just used his palm to cover the part of the text, and only the seal was exposed. As soon as he saw the seal, Facao knelt down with his head bowed.
"You are indeed very clever, it turns out that you have planned it a long time ago." Qin Sheng couldn't help but approving.
Jiang Shenzhou smiled, he smiled strangely: "No way, who called me so smart." ”
But in fact, he didn't plan this at all, and the scene just now was just something he came up with in a hurry.
"What's next?" Qin Sheng wanted to ask this question, but she didn't have to ask anymore.
Because she saw a carriage, it stopped on the side of the road not far away.
Gao Dawei was waiting for them in the carriage.
