Chapter 5 Plotting to Seize the Heavenly Prison
Han Zhao smiled when he saw it: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Brother Ma, I haven't seen him for a few days." After that, he introduced Jin Wanquan, and it turned out that this person's name was Ma Yan, and he was a prisoner from Jiupin in the Criminal Department.
Han Zhao looked at Ma Yan and said in a low voice, "Where is the prisoner who was released from King Kang's Mansion a few days ago kept?"
Ma Yan frowned and said, "What, you want to see him?"
Han Zhao nodded and said, "Don't hide it from my brother, there is a case that takes care of both public and private affairs is very tricky, and my two brothers need to go in and ask him a few words." ”
Ma Yan's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said: "Master Han, it's not that your brother thins your face, you know the rules of the prison better than me, and no one is allowed to approach the prisoners here without a will." ”
"Rules are dead, but people are alive, they go in and ask a few questions and come out, rest assured, they won't embarrass you. After speaking, he spread his palms, and Jin Wanquan handed over the two silver tickets that had been prepared a long time ago.
"The brothers are on duty so hard, and they have a little heart to give everyone a drink. ”
As soon as Ma Yan lowered his head, the denomination of the silver ticket in his hand was five hundred taels, and he couldn't help but feel his heart beating, good guy one thousand taels, he had never seen so much silver since he was born. After pondering for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "This is also your face Han Ye, but I have two conditions, first, I can only go in alone, and second, I will give you at most half an hour of time." Han Zhao patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Enough friends, Brother Jin and I set up a table in Mingyue Tower in the evening, and invited a few girls who play the pipa best in Piaoxiang Courtyard, you must come." As he spoke, he took out the token of the Criminal Department from his bosom and asked, "Which of you goes?" Jiang Shanghan stretched out his hand to take the token, and Ma Yan said in a low voice: "The person is at the eighteenth T." Jiang Shang said "thank you" coldly, picked up the food box and walked away.
When you enter the courtyard, you will be faced with a rockery barrier, bypassing the rockery, and you can see the entrance of the prison at a glance.
The rumor is true, the prison is not in the sky, but in the ground.
Jiang Shanghan carefully observed the surroundings, and saw that the word "prison" was written on each side of the high wall with a height of one person, a row of stables on the west side, a wide wing room on the east side, and a row of low tiled houses directly opposite, in the center of the tile house there was a wooden door less than one person high, hanging with a large iron lock, and four strong guards with knives stood solemnly in front of the door.
Jiang Shanghan knew in his heart that after the level of Ma Si Prison just now, the four guards in front of him were just decorations.
"A few brothers have worked hard!" Jiang Shanghan stepped forward quickly with a smile on his face.
"Stop, what are you doing?" shouted a guard with a meaty face.
Jiang Shanghan smiled and said, "This official, I'll go in and find someone." ”
The guard snorted and said, "What kind of place do you think this is, and you can enter if you want?"
Jiang Shanghan stretched out his hand and took out the token and handed it over, and said with a smile: "It's all your own people, please make it convenient." Who knew that the guard took the token and glanced at it and didn't buy it, pouted and sneered: "See clearly, this is the Imperial Prison, not your Criminal Department prison." He glanced at him and threw the token into Jiang Shanghan's hand.
Jiang Shanghan is so smart, this is clearly robbing, as the saying goes, "Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult", he quickly put down the food box in his hand, took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and respectfully presented it, "Official, can it be convenient." The guard coughed dryly, took the silver ticket and glanced at it, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Open the food box." He pretended to check it up and down, inside and out, and then said slowly, "Come with me." With that, he took out the key, Jiang Shanghan quickly followed, and as far as he could see, he realized that this iron lock had a different structure, and he was really sure that he could open it in time in a short period of time, and his mind flew in an instant, and then he stumbled and hit the guard's waist.
The guard was knocked unsuspected, and the key flew out of his hand and fell to the ground.
Jiang Shanghan fell a dog to gnaw on the mud, and the food box also knocked over to the ground, only to see him pick it up
The key bent down again and again to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've broken my foot." ”
The guard was about to have a seizure, and when he saw him apologize one after another, he had to hold back, "Where is my key?" Jiang Shanghan raised his hands above his head and smiled: "Here." ”
How did the guard know that the person in front of him, who was known as the "thief" in the rivers and lakes, just picked up the key just now, every detail of this key had been deeply imprinted in his mind.
The gate opened, and the guard said coldly, "Go and come back quickly." ”
Egami Han entered the prison with a cat's waist.
In front of him was a sunken staircase, and there were small holes in the walls on both sides of the wall every other zhang for oil lamps, and the faint light that flickered on and off made people's vision blurred. As soon as I stepped on the flat ground as I counted the stairs, a thick, bloody stench immediately hit my nose.
Jiang Shanghan only felt dizzy, his stomach turned over the river and the sea, his throat and eyes were sour, and he felt that he was about to vomit out immediately.
No wonder the guard didn't come down with him, this ghost place didn't even want to come, and for the first time he felt that the cells he had been held in before were simply heaven on earth.
Most of the prisoners held here are seriously ill or dying, so what Jiang Shanghan saw at this time were all prisoners lying motionless in their cells, as miserable as dead corpses.
Jiang Shanghan knew that time was pressing, so he couldn't resist his nausea and covered his mouth and nose with his cuffs to look for both sides, and as expected, in the deepest part of the prison, he found the T-shaped cell No. 18.
Unexpectedly, he only glanced inside, and his mouth opened wide in surprise at what he saw!
Jiang Shanghan, who was covered tightly just now, almost didn't vomit, couldn't help but take a breath of cool air!
There is an exquisite table in cell No. 18, with two rows of thick books on the table, and pens, ink, paper, and inkstones!
A man in a prison uniform, a mantle, and a bearded face sat at a desk holding a book and was so engrossed that he didn't even lift his eyelids when he saw someone coming.
Jiang Shanghan rubbed his eyes to be convinced that what he saw was true.
"Long Shiqiu?" he asked, trying.
The prisoner didn't even bother to look at him.
Jiang Shanghan had no choice but to briefly explain his intentions, and then said: "If Long Daxia agrees to help, I will come here tonight to help you get out of prison, and the people from the Jade Ding Dart Bureau will also come to answer at that time." ”
The prisoner finally sighed, put down his book, walked to the bar, stared into his eyes, and asked, "What if I don't agree?"
Jiang Shanghan looked at him and said word by word: "Again, Yi, Na, Fu." ”
......
The moonlight is sultry.
A black shadow flew over the wall and tiles like a ghostly moonlight, and finally stopped on a roof near the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
This black shadow is the "swallow in the clouds" Jiang Shanghan, I saw him carrying a crossbow with a tight back and bowing his head behind him, and he was looking around vigilantly.
Not long after, another black shadow quietly fell from far and near, floating beside Jiang Shanghan, and it was Xiao Wensheng, the fourth master of the Yuding Dart Bureau.
"Fourth Brother Xiao, is everything ready?" Jiang Shanghan asked quietly.
"It's all set. ”
"Come with me" Jiang Shanghan started his light work, jumped onto the high wall in front of him, identified the direction, and went straight to the direction of the heavenly prison like a cat, Xiao Wensheng followed.
After sneaking forward for a short time, the lights outside the gate of the prison came into view.
The two hid their bodies and hid in the dark to watch, only to see countless lamps and torches illuminating the inside and outside of the prison as bright as day, in addition to the guards seen during the day, two patrols with spears were added at night.
"Fourth Brother Xiao, that row of houses in the west is the stable, as soon as we come out, you will take advantage of the chaos to seize the horses and attract the pursuers to the dock with Yan Wuye. ”
Xiao Wensheng said: "Don't worry. ”
"Remember, the louder you run away, the better. Although Jiang Shanghan is usually very arrogant, he is extremely careful at the critical moment, and he instructed: "Fourth brother, this kind of place will arrange archers in the dark, and you will be careful for a while." ”
Even Xiao Wensheng, who has always been good at planning, admired him a little at this moment, looked up at the moonlight, and it was almost time.
"I went. "Jiang Shang was a little on his tiptoes and flew away in a northeast direction.
In front of the gate of the prison, forty armored guards lined up in a fan-shape, each holding a pine torch in his hand, and the patrol walked back and forth in a neat manner.
A prison officer was sitting in front of the desk dozing, and suddenly heard a loud "boom" behind him, this surprise was not trivial, I saw him shouting, "All on alert, someone is robbing the prison!" When he came to the courtyard, he saw that the east wing room was already full of smoke and fire!
"Quick, put out the fire......"
"Don't panic, everyone, guard the entrance of the prison......"
Dozens of guards rushed into the courtyard, and the prison commander waved the torch in his hand and commanded loudly: "Don't mess around, everyone don't mess around, the first and second teams will follow me to block the prison, and the third team and the archers will go out to defend the entrance of the alley." After saying that, he took out a ringing arrow from his sleeve and held it high above the top, only to hear a "boom", and a red light accompanied by a piercing sound went straight to Xiao Han.
At this moment, a black shadow swept over everyone's heads, and this person was Jiang Shanghan.
I saw him masked in a black scarf, and his hands waved out continuously towards the courtyard, and after three muffled sounds, a white mist rose in the courtyard.
"Ahem, ahem......"
"Be careful, everyone, poisonous ...... in the fog"
All the guards fell down in an instant, and the rest of them covered their mouths and noses and scattered out of the way, I don't know when, the gate of the prison has been opened, and before the smoke clears, Jiang Shanghan has led Long Shiqiu to rush out of the ground.
Long Shiqiu had already changed into his night clothes at this time, and Jiang Shang said coldly: "Come with me!" jumped on the West Chamber's stable on tiptoe, and at this moment, two fast horses rushed out from behind the stable, crashing through the crowd and heading straight for the long alley!
The masked man who rushed in front and waved his long stick was the fifth master Yan Wuxiu, and I saw him shouting loudly: "Those who want to live are scattered!" The archers guarding the entrance of the alley were in panic and set up arrows one after another, but before the arrows could be shot, countless flying locust stones had broken through the air, and the guards were hit one after another, and they fell down in the screams.
Yan Wuxiu rushed into the long alley first, and Xiao Wensheng, another horse behind him, followed closely in prison clothes.
"The prisoner has run away, chase after him!"
"Don't let them run, chase ......"
At this time, almost everyone's attention was attracted by the two of them, the West Chamber's stable side of the river hiding on the roof Han saw that the time had come, opened his arms and lowered his head, "whoosh", and the crossbow shot a slender rope to the opposite three-zhang high wall, the arrow of this crossbow is a four-clawed steel structure, and it was hung on the wall and pulled hard, and the rope was tightened and fixed.
Jiang Shanghan turned around and said to Long Shiqiu: "Go!" The figure rose into the air, and his feet tapped on the rope, and the person had floated up the wall like a flying swallow.
"Yun Zhongyan" is by no means in vain, Jiang Shanghan has always been very confident in his peerless light skills, who knew that as soon as he turned around, Long Shiqiu was already standing behind him!
