Chapter Thirty-Eight: Rescue, Megalomaniac

In the cell, the cell boss arranged several tables of wine and food in the squad room, and beckoned the guards on duty: "Brothers! I'm going to be the east today, please eat and drink! ”

The jailers looked at each other, and one of them was surprised: "Why is the cell boss so happy, where did he make extra money?" ”

"Nonsense!" The cell boss glared: "Where can I go to make extra money?" Outside our profession is not like street patrols, who can scrape the silver of merchants, and inside we are not like Jinyi Wei and the Criminal Department, which can scrape the silver of criminals.

Only guarding these mud legs, how can there be any oil and water! The big guy holds so much money every month, and it's sad to think about it, even if I invite you to open the meat for this meal! ”

"Yes, yes, the cell boss can't be more kind to us!"

The jailers sat down and feasted.

Turn around the corner.

Qiu Rong threw two silver ingots to the cell leader: "I said, this matter has to be done strictly, and if you see it with one more pair of eyes, you can share the silver with multiple people!" ”

"Those animals have this good food, they must be drunk, we have plenty of time." The cell leader quickly put the silver ingot into his arms: "Okay, three hundred taels after the deed is completed." ”

Qiu Rong smiled: "Don't worry, no one can miss you." ”

"That's good."

Walking to the door of a wooden fence, the cell boss opened the door: "Right here, I can see that this little rabbit cub is not honest, and he deliberately separates the switch with other prisoners." ”

……

The situation is urgent, although Lu Qi can't ride a horse, he has to bite the bullet.

Choosing the most docile old horse from the stable, coupled with the fact that there were no pedestrians on the royal street under martial law, Lu Qi barely hugged the horse's neck and galloped all the way.

With the waist card of the brocade guard, Lu Qi and the three of them rushed straight to the gate of the Shuntianfu cell, and when they saw a gorgeous carriage parked at the door, they hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

Lu Qi beckoned the two spies to the ear: "I'm in the light, you two are in the dark." If there is any change, act according to the plan. ”

"Yes!"

"Stop!" The two guards at the door of the prison stretched out their hands: "The cell is heavy, Hugh has to trespass!" ”

Lu Qi showed the waist card of Jinyiwei: "I am ordered to do something!" ”

"It turned out to be Lord Tiqi."

The guard arched his hand and hurriedly shouted inside, "Open the door, let go!" ”

Shuntian Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of five prefectures, with a total of twenty-three counties, and this cell is much larger than that of Yu County. But the strange thing is that since Lu Qi entered the cell, he didn't even see a jailer.

As I walked along the passage, I saw a pair of cloudy eyes lit up from time to time in the wooden railings on both sides, and I heard a series of wails:

"Oops...... Oh my legs! ”

"The grass people are wronged, hahaha the grass people are wronged!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the wooden fence next to him and stopped Lu Qi: "Xiao'er, why did you come in by yourself?" ”

After all, galloping on the road in a grand dress is easy to be impeached by the official.

In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Qi took off the Liang Guan Golden Cicada before he came, and put on a big coat to cover the red Luo clothes, looking like an ordinary person with heavy robes and sweating profusely.

Lu Qi looked over.

The questioner was an old man, who sat upright in a straw pile though he was dirty and old-fashioned, but his hair was not messy, and his eyes were not cloudy and crazy like those of other prisoners.

Lu Qi arched his hand: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, do you know which cell the child who sued the royal court is in prison?" ”

"Sue the royal court?" The old man's eyes widened.

For a while, the nearby cells were quiet, and only a dozen or so mouths were left chewing on the words "sue the emperor" repeatedly.

In the next cell, the prisoner who was still shouting about leg pain just now raised his head: "Little scholar, are you talking about the little flower who was put in in the morning?" ”

"Yes, that's him!"

Five or six hands stretched out from the wooden fence: "Over there!" ”

Seeing Lu Qi say thank you and hurriedly run away, the old man sat on the wooden fence with great interest: "The future is terrifying, there is a drama to watch now!" ”

……

"Hahaha...... Isn't it possible to run? Why don't you run away? ”

Qiu Rong smiled triumphantly: "If you want me to say, your Wei family deserves it!" Hou Ye fell in love with your family's field, that is your family's blessing, who let you not know that it was used to give it to Hou Ye early?

I heard that you ran away this morning, and I said where can you run away, hey! Dare to stop the driver and sue the royal complaint, what a fat guts! ”

As he spoke, Qiu Rong flicked his whip: "This time, let you, the little rabbit, know what will happen if you offend Uncle Qiu!" ”

Wei Cheng's little face was full of stubbornness: "Qiu Rong, your death is coming!" ”

Qiu Rong laughed angrily, and with a whip, Wei Cheng couldn't dodge, and red marks suddenly appeared on his shoulders.

"Lao Tzu's death is coming? Joke! ”

Qiu Rong's eyes were quenched with murderous intent: "It's your death time coming!" ”

“!!”

Wei Cheng covered his shoulders: "You actually want to kill people in the prison of Shuntian Mansion?" This is a felony! I'm going to shout! ”

"Sin?" Qiu Rong smiled and approached step by step: "Cell leader, is Lao Tzu guilty?" ”

The cell boss walked in with a piece of hemp rope: "What kind of prison kills, how ugly it is!" Obviously, you are a kid messing around, and you are scared when you are caught in prison, so you are afraid of hanging yourself. Okay, if it's late, things will change, so let's do it early. ”

As he spoke, he pounced on him and strangled Wei Cheng's neck with a hemp rope.

Looking back on the past, in the stories of storytellers, those stories of "the emperor loves the people like a son, and blames the traitors for blocking the saints", and those stories of "eradicating the traitors, the people can live and work in peace and contentment".

Is it all fake?!

Wei Cheng struggled desperately.

A ten-year-old child, whose physical strength was far inferior to that of an adult like the cell leader, had the strength to kick the cell boss in the knee so hard that his hand loosened in pain.

"You little bastard!"

Qiu Rong was furious: "It seems that you don't want the whole corpse?" You're going to crash me to death on the wall! ”

grabbed Wei Cheng and was about to hit the wall, when he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside the wooden fence: "Stop me!" ”

Qiu Rong and the cell boss were both startled, and looked back at the same time.

I saw a young man dressed in a big coat come in at the door, sweating all over his head, and he was glaring at them angrily: "You dare to kill witnesses in the prison of Shuntian Mansion, is there still a royal law?" ”

Qiu Rong and the cell boss looked at each other: "Who are you?" How dare you trespass into the prison? ”

Lu Qi untied the big coat, revealing the red Luo clothes, silver belt, and Lian Que brocade on his body, pulled out the jade wat board from behind his waist, and said:

"This official is an official subordinate of the East Palace, and the prince serves Lu Yun, and on the order of the prince, he has come to protect the witnesses of the Shouning Marquis case!"

The cell boss took two steps back in a panic: "Official? ”

Qiu Rong's heart was alarmed, and his face pretended to be disdainful: "Hahaha, do you think Lao Tzu is scared?" ”

Seeing that someone came to help him, Wei Cheng broke free of Qiu Rong's hand and hid behind Lu Qi with a rolling belt.

And seeing that Wei Cheng, who was at his fingertips, was about to run again, Qiu Rong's eyes flashed with madness: "Get out of the way!" Otherwise, I will kill you! ”

The cell boss was about to reduce his sense of existence, and gasped when he heard this: "Are you crazy? Killing an official is a great crime of rebellion! ”

"Shut up!"

Seeing Qiu Rong glaring at him fiercely, the cell boss suddenly understood: the matter had been revealed, and there was no other way, and Lu Qi had to be kept shut firmly.

"What is the prince's attendant?" Qiu Rong sneered arrogantly: "The prince is just the nephew of our Hou Ye, I'm afraid of him!" ”

Lu Qi shouted angrily: "Arrogant! ”

The cell boss put on a fierce expression, pulled out his waist knife at Lu Qi, and waved it: "If you don't let that little bastard come over, beware of your little life!" ”

When the sword light flew, Lu Qi narrowed his eyes.

I forgot to bring a weapon in a hurry, and now I only have a wat board in my hand, how can I fight?

"Danger to adults!"

Just thinking about it, he suddenly saw a dirty little figure flash out, open his arms in front of Lu Qi, with the sound of the blade breaking through the air, hot blood splashed, Lu Qi's eyes suddenly widened.

"You!"

I didn't expect that I was here to protect this child, but I was protected by the child, as an adult, the most angry thing is this!

His eyes were split, and blood was rushing to his brain.

Lu Qi roared angrily and rushed to the front, raised the wat board and slapped it heavily on the cell leader's face, until he took a few steps backwards and vomited blood.

For a while, both of them were frightened by Lu Qi's momentum.

But Lu Qi did not completely lose her mind, her two fists were invincible to her four hands, not to mention that there were weapons on the other side, so it was better to run away with the child at this time.

Taking advantage of the gap of retreating, Lu Qi grabbed Wei Cheng with one hand and quickly escaped from the cell.

Qiu Rong reacted: "He ran away with Wei Cheng, chase after him!" ”

……

When it comes to martial arts, Lu Qi's ability is not high; But if you list the list of the best escapers in the world, Lu Qi is definitely on the list.

Qiu Rong and the others didn't dare to call other jailers to help, so they couldn't catch up with Lu Qi, and watched her ride into the dust and disappear into the crowded street with Wei Cheng.

A long time has passed, and Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, can't wait for a return, so he can't rest assured, so he went to the prison in person.

The eight-carried sedan chair stopped at the door of the cell, and as soon as Zhang Heling Shouninghou got off the sedan chair, he felt that something was wrong.

"Didn't Qiu Rong go to settle the witnesses? Why is there a lot of commotion in this prison? Zhang Heling looked into the door suspiciously.

I saw that the majestic and silent Shuntianfu prison in the past was turning the sky upside down at this time, and the prisoners shouted "official robbery" and knocked on the fence and laughed, and those drunken jailers couldn't control it at all.

The sound was so loud that even the officials of Shuntianfu were alarmed and rushed with the officials to maintain order.

Qiu Rong slipped out uncontrollably, but he didn't expect to bump into Zhang Heling, and his panic was overflowing: "Hou ...... Master Hou! Little slaves are useless. ”

"Didn't work out?"

"It's all to blame for that prince's attendant Lu Yun, if it weren't for him, the little slave would have been able to get it a long time ago!"

Zhang Heling turned around and got into the sedan chair after hearing this: "Who is your Hou Ye?" Benhou doesn't know you! ”

"Master Hou!" Qiu Rong hurried to catch up: "You can't ignore the little slave!" Then Wei Cheng said, he knew that the little slave was ordered by Master Hou to do it, but he would not give up! ”

Zhang Heling jumped to his feet in anger, his fat face was flushed, and he stretched out his hand and gave him a few slaps.

"This little bastard! Come on, get up the sedan chair, Ben Hou wants to enter the palace for a trip! ”

……

Here, Lu Qi and the two got rid of the pursuers, found a medical hall on the street, and after emergency bandaging to stop the bleeding, they finally saved Wei Cheng's life.

Dr. Cui, the attending doctor of the medical hall, looked at Lu Qi's blood-stained gown, and asked cautiously, "Dare to ask this official, is there any injury?" ”

Lu Qi waved his hand.

Asked someone to bring clean water, and Lu Qi washed Wei Cheng's face well.

This is a small face with a little baby fat, there is a bright red mole in the center of the eyebrows, and the eyebrows and eyes can already vaguely see the handsome rudiment, at this time, I don't know if it is because of pain or sorrow, the brows are tightly wrinkled.

His skin is snow-white, and his hands and feet have no calluses to work.

It can be seen that he must have been someone's pampered little baby, the pearl of his parents' palms, and perhaps as playful as Zhu Houzhao.

But just because Shou Ninghou fell in love with his family's field, he forced his family to death, turned him into an orphan, and drove him to extermination!

How sad Lu Qi is!

With a faint voice, Wei Cheng slowly opened his eyes, saw Lu Qi sitting beside him, and asked him if he wanted to drink some tea.

But the boy had only one wish at this time:

"Please, sir, avenge my family!"

Lu Qi nodded solemnly and said, "It is incumbent on you to ask for your life for the people!" ”
