Chapter 35: We Have a Traitor
Late at night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
Syllable!
The long whip filled with chili water fell, and the sound of flesh blooming could be clearly heard under the bright moon sky.
"Ahh
"Don't fight, gentlemen, the little ones have already said, don't fight, it hurts."
Next to the campfire.
Tie Tang, Biqi, and Duan Jingrui sat around the side.
"It's not that the chief arrester has never respected punishment, why did he make an exception today?"
"I admit that I double-standard, but dealing with this kind of person..... I would even like to come and do it myself.
Thus.
I am not impartial, but I am exercising my rights through the skin of the law. Tie Tang sighed after speaking, looking a little helpless.
In his previous life, he studied law, and he knew that everyone was equal before the law, and the abuse of punishment was actually a very unfair performance.
But when he heard what these ruffians were doing, it was hard for him to accept them, and he couldn't see them as an equal being.
Biqi said angrily: "These people deserve to die, why should Brother Tang be angry with them, even if they are killed now, who dares to say anything?" ”
Even Duan Jingrui didn't care, and even added fire: "If the chief catcher feels embarrassed, his subordinates can take action in person."
When they returned to Yuncheng, they said that they not only wanted to escape halfway, but also resisted arrest and were shot dead by us on the spot.
Even if this confession is submitted to the Supervision Yuan, no one will be more truthful. ”
Tie Tang waved his hand: "Forget it, it's still useful to keep them, characters like them, if there is no one behind them, they don't dare to go too far."
It's just because some people have their own selfish desires that it leads to today's things.
Instead of killing a few local ruffians, it is better to arrest a few more corrupt officials and cut off their actions fundamentally. ”
"Always catch the head!"
"Okay, Duan Zhutou, why did you become like this? I still like how unruly you were at first. ”
"Haha~ That's the head catcher who misunderstood me earlier, and he has never had a deep friendship with me, Duan Mou is this kind of character."
"Brother Tang, Duan Zhutou is better than Ma Yuan, so I can't say such things."
"I told you to go to the academy to study for a few more days, and you have to be idle all day."
..........
The next day, dawn.
The group set off again, stopping and stopping on the road, the speed was much slower than when they came, and the number of people was getting fewer and fewer.
While interrogating Yang Hongguang, Yang Zhengye and other scoundrels, Tie Tang sent people back to Youxian and Yangjia Village to collect evidence according to their words.
As for Li Chengyun, he didn't try it, but he just fed a few sips of water from time to time.
In this way, it took two days and three nights to see the appearance of the Yuncheng gate.
Not long after entering the city, Tie Tang saw that from time to time on both sides of the street, he could see the appearance of fast arresters and arresters, heavily guarded, as if they were searching for something.
casually recruited a few catchers, and Tie Tang had a bad premonition.
"What's the matter? Why the public is being disturbed? ”
When the asked catcher saw Tie Tang, his face was extremely ugly, and he said, "Go back to the head catcher..... Wu.... Wu Qing... Prison break again. ”
Tietang: "??? ”
——
County office, prison.
Tie Tang's face darkened, inspecting the cell where Wu Qing was originally held.
I saw a pair of shackles and shackles on the ground, and there were no obvious signs of breakage, and it seemed that they were still intact.
The cell door was locked, and there were obvious signs of vandalism.
The master of the torture hall was already wet with sweat in his robe, and he was in the same condition..... There was also the warden and several jailers.
Yuan Hua half-bowed his waist and whispered, "Head, it's no wonder they."
Wu Qing seems to have cultivated the bone shrinking skill to the perfection realm, the bones around his body can be large and small, can bend and stretch, and these shackles have not been able to trap him. ”
"No wonder they ..... Do you still blame me? ”
The master of the torture hall and the warden hurriedly bowed their heads and bent over: "I don't dare, I always catch the head, and my subordinates are willing to accept the punishment because they are derelict in their duties." ”
Tie Tang was silent, did not speak for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand.
"Xiaoqi and Duan County were arrested and stayed, and the others all went out."
"Head?"
Yuan Hua was a little anxious, but he didn't expect that Biqi just followed Tietang to Youxian County, and his position would be lost.
"I brought back a few ruffians from Youxian, you go and greet them well and write a complete confession."
"Yes, head!"
Yuan Hua followed the group of arresters and quickly turned to leave, and there were only three people left in the cell.
"What do you think?"
"This person is very skilled, and he escaped in the hands of us one after another." Biki seems to yearn for that kind of existence like a thief.
Duan Jingrui stepped forward and took a closer look at the shackles and shackles on the ground, and was a little puzzled: "If Wu Qing wants to escape, why didn't he leave until the early hours of last night?" ”
"Xu was injured by Brother Tang before, and it was only last night that he regained some strength."
Tie Tang denied this statement: "Wu Qing surrendered by himself that day, although he was injured and punished later, but for the marrow washing realm....... It's nothing.
Besides, the bone shrinking skill is not a powerful martial art, and it will not consume much strength to perform. ”
"Strange, strange, this Wu Qing seems to be full of contradictions, and what he does is not like what the same person does.
was first deliberately captured, turned around and wanted to escape from prison, and now he wants to surrender, and then secretly ran away a few days later.
Can't figure it out, can't figure it out. Duan Jingrui shook his head.
Tie Tang glanced at the door lock a few times, then picked up the shackles and shackles on the ground, and simply put himself in.
"Drink!"
His muscles twisted as if he wanted to pull his wrists and ankles out of the confinement, but the joints were very tight and firm.
Tietang's muscles and bones are difficult to exert strength, not to mention, even if you want to carry qi and blood, it is also very difficult.
The cells and torture instruments set up in the court are not ornaments, many of them are specifically aimed at martial arts people, and they cannot be cracked simply.
"Although I don't know how to shrink bones, I have some strength in stretching my muscles and pulling out bones.
If I'm trapped here, even if my strength is intact, I won't be able to get out.
Duan Zhutou, what do you think..... Can the bone shrinking gong really do this? ”
Duan Jingrui squinted his eyes and looked around, leaned closer to Tie Tang and asked in a low voice, "What does the total head catcher mean....."
"Someone secretly helped him escape from prison!"
Biqi was shocked: "Brother Tang means ....... Are there inner demons among us? ”
"Or else? Why didn't Wu Qing run away early or late, but left in the early hours of last night?
If he could have relied on the bone shrinking technique to leave, he wouldn't have stayed here for a moment. ”
Tie Tang thought of the scene of Wu Qing's surrender that day, and it was obvious that Wu Qing had inspired some kind of method to fight them to the death, but he turned around and surrendered directly on his knees.
The contrast is too great!
Duan Jingrui also reacted: "If someone secretly assisted Wu Qing in escaping from prison, then it can explain why it was early in the morning last night."
for those who secretly assist him...... Knowing that we are coming back today. ”
"Not bad!"
Tie Tang continued: "As far as I can guess, that anti-bone boy should not want to reveal his identity in the first place.
But as time goes by, we are about to come back, and Wu Qing can't escape on his own, so he can only help secretly. ”
Biqi clapped his hands violently and came to his senses: "That's why Brother Tang, you will let them out, leaving only the two of us present." ”
So the question is, who will it be? ”
Soft footsteps sounded in the cell, and Tie Tang walked back and forth, fragments of memories flashing in his mind.
"Twice to detain Wu Qing, but he escaped, when Wu Qing was captured, Wu Qing's attitude changed quickly, obviously someone secretly persuaded him.
Count the catchers who were present three times, and meet this condition...... Only one person! ”
"Who? Brother Tang said quickly, said quickly. Hiki was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
"Hall Master!"
"Is that him?" This answer was obviously not what Hiki expected.
Duan Jingrui also inferred: "If you speculate according to the total head catcher..... Hall Master Lin is indeed the number one suspect.
Wu Qing escaped from prison for the first time that day, and even left calmly in front of Hall Master Lin.
And when he pursued to Yinfeng Mountain, he also followed me and waited with me the whole time.
Before I arrived with him, Wu Qing was still fighting with the chief catcher, which showed that Wu Qing was still lucky and wanted to escape.
But not long after Hall Master Lin arrived, Wu Qing quickly changed his attention and surrendered on the spot.
..... who were present on the day There are only the chief catcher, me, the head of the hall, the master of the hall of arrest, the master of the hall of Lin, and the little brother of Biqi.
Wu Qing escaped from the cell twice, and I was not present, but Hall Master Lin was there every time, and he was indeed quite suspicious. ”
"Brother Tang, what are you waiting for?"
Tie Tang thought for a while: "Xiaoqi, you go to Hall Master Lin and let him come to prison." ”
"Good!" Hiki turned and walked away quickly.
"It's prudent to always catch heads!"
"After all, it's my own person, and now there is no conclusive evidence, everything is conjecture.
Although the Lin Hall Master has a fierce face, he is very good to his colleagues and has a very high reputation, not as good as Qingfeng's guy, if he is ........"
Tie Tang suddenly paused as he spoke, and then asked Duan Jingrui: "Think about it carefully, what are the flaws in the scene that day?" ”
"Flaws?"
The small cell was dark and damp, with a light layer of hay on the floor and a strong musty smell in the air.
"It seems to be a bit unreasonable."
"Oh? Elaborate. ”
Duan Jingrui looked at the hay on the ground and said slowly: "That day, our soldiers divided into three ways to follow Wu Qing, but as we walked, we encountered a group of snakes, and it took a lot of effort to drive them away.
After that, I and the Lin Hall Master were lost, and only you were the only one left.
At that time, if it weren't for Hiki's action, with our search skills, I am afraid that I would not be able to find you in the vast mountains. ”
That is..... If it's a little worse than Qi's ability, even the Lin Hall Master can't find it? ”
Duan Jingrui thought about it carefully and made sure that he would not be mistaken.
"There are almost no traces of people in Yinfeng Mountain, the mountains are full of the same ancient trees in the sky, I watched the behavior of the forest hall master that day, it doesn't seem to be a fake, he should indeed not be able to find Wu Qing."
Tie Tang nodded, and had a different idea.
The reason why he asked this was because he had been following Wu Qing well that day, but he was suddenly discovered by Wu Qing.
Why his whereabouts were exposed, Tie Tang has not figured it out to this day.
If Hall Master Lin was Wu Qing's fellow party, then he should also know Wu Qing's escape route, and even know where the ruined temple was.
Broken temple!
Tie Tang's mind flashed, and he seemed to think of something, but he never broke it.
Just then, the cell door opened.
Panting, Biqi ran in and pointed outside: "Brother Tang..... Forest.. Hall Master Lin may have run away! ”
