Chapter 81: Brocade Clothes
Capital. Jinyi Guard Command Post, Zhao Prison. Afternoon.
Jin Yiwei sent Mao Xi'an to the gate of Zhao Prison with two hateful-looking captains, one with a blue face and the other with a scorched face. At this time, Niu Yugang, who was on duty guarding the prison door, saw Mao Xi'an coming, and said with a smile through the prison door: "How can Lord Mao have time to come to our small place where the sun does not see the light of day today?"
Mao Xi'an smiled: "It's not an old case in the past, it involves Lan Yu, and I want to come over and ask for a question." ”
Niu Yugang said: "Others are okay, this blue jade is a hard bone, and it is in vain to use the punishment." If you want him to recruit something, just hold down his finger and press the handprint, why waste your business? These two brothers are also tight-faced, are you your new subordinates?"
When Mao Xi'an heard this, he saw that he had the intention of shirking, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he immediately sank his face and said, "Lord Niu, I can't afford to provoke the person who asked me to come over and ask a few words, and you can't afford to provoke either." Since you are so pushing, I won't ask, just go back and restore your life, just say that you Lord Niu deliberately blocked it, Mao couldn't do anything, just let them find you directly. Then he turned around and was about to leave.
You must know that in a place like Jingshi, you never know who someone's background is, and what kind of power someone has behind it, a few days ago, there was a Qianhu who didn't know who he offended, and the prisoner who was imprisoned reported rebellion, and was directly thrown into the Zhao Prison that he had taken care of, and within a few days, he was beaten to death by the prisoners in prison.
Niu Yugang originally wanted to buy a favor and get some benefits, but when he saw Mao Xi'an talking like this, he suddenly became afraid, and hurriedly put up a smile and said to Mao Xi'an: "Master Mao stays, it's not good to see you old for a long time, I just want to say a few more words to you, I don't mean anything else, don't be angry! I'll open the door and take you in." It's just that according to the rules, weapons should be left at the door and not brought in, as you know. As he spoke, he opened the cell door from the inside.
Mao Xi'an also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and after coming in, he took out five taels of silver from the arrow sleeve and stuffed it into Niu Yugang's hand, and said in a low voice: "That's what the other party means, although it is less, but it is still in accordance with the rules, you take it for a drink." Lan Yue and Shen Chaixing had no choice but to untie their swords and put them aside. At this time, the two of them had already equipped the sword with a suitable scabbard, so it was placed there, but it was not noticeable.
The world-famous Jinyi Weizhao Prison is actually not an official prison, so the area is not too large, and ordinary prisoners just go through the motions here, and within a few days, they will either have died or will be sent to the criminal department for processing. Of course, only after spending a lot of money can he be sent to the Criminal Department and enjoy the treatment of the prison of the Criminal Department. Only extremely important prisoners or those named by the Emperor were left in Zhao Prison for a long time, and Lan Yu and his family were among them.
Walking in the dimly lit corridors of the Prison, the air was filled with the smell of blood, foul smell and mold, and from time to time there were painful howls or low cries in the ears.
Lan Yue and Shen Chaixing, who were wearing masks, followed Mao Xi'an and Niu Yugang behind, and the two of them used their spare eyes to observe the surrounding terrain from time to time, looking for the weak points of this cell. But there are some horrific images that can be seen in the scanning: a man crawling on a pile of hay, wailing in pain, his back covered with flesh and blood, as if a layer of skin had just been torn off his back, and an old man standing with a blank expression leaning against the railing of the cell door, his normal hand dragging his boneless elbow.
Blue Moon concentrated on trying not to look at the faces of those people, because he was afraid to see the familiar faces of his family members in them.
Zhao Prison has three floors, and there are only three layers of iron gates, and the distance is not too long, but Lan Yue feels that he has walked a long way.
Sapphire is currently the most important prisoner in Zhao Prison, and as such, he is imprisoned in the innermost third layer, and has exclusive access to the third layer.
The iron door opened, and Blue Moon walked inside. Mao Xi'an was about to follow up, but was blocked by Shen Chaxing. Mao Xi'an was helpless, so he had to whisper: "It's not too long, I'll talk a few words with Lao Niu at the door." After that, he glanced at Niu Yugang, Niu Yugang locked the third layer door, and the blue moon was also inside. The two came out again and locked the second door, and stood in the doorway chatting, looking inside from time to time. Shen Chaixing was guarding outside the door of the third floor.
There are only three cells on the third floor, with Lan Yu in the right corner, and the other two are torture cells full of torture instruments.
Lan Yue pushed open the door of the cell where Lan Yu was held, but the door was not locked, because Lan Yu's entire handcuffs and shackles were locked against the wall by long chains. Blue Moon's heavy footsteps didn't make Lan Yu, who was leaning against the wall, look up.
Lan Yue walked to the eldest brother's side, squatted down, and saw Lan Yu leaning aside with his eyes closed, already covered with skin and bones, but the blood stains on his face could not be hidden in the beard, and his body was already incomplete, Lan Yue pushed Lan Yu with tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Big brother, open your eyes, it's me, Xiaoyue is here!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Lan Yu, who was in a coma, was shocked, and then slowly opened his eyes, but saw a brocade guard in front of him with an iron face, and suddenly there was a sneer in his eyes, and he slowly closed his eyes.
Lan Yue then remembered that she was still wearing a mask, and whispered, "It's really me, wearing a mask.!"
Lan Yu opened his eyes and saw that it was really his younger brother who he had been thinking about day and night, he couldn't help but tremble, he held back his excitement and said in a low voice: "It's really you! Why are you here? It's too dangerous, get out of here quickly!"
Lan Yue hurriedly comforted: "Big brother, don't worry, I am wearing a mask and can leave at any time." I'm here today to explore the road, take a look at the terrain here, and I'll find a way to get you out in the next day or two. ”
Lan Yu said: "Good brother, if I can see you, it will be God's eyes, as long as you can leave me safely, I will be at peace even if I die." Don't worry about me, last time Momen Xu Moran lost his troops to save me, so don't toss anymore. ”
Lan Yue hurriedly said: "Don't worry, eldest brother, I not only have a sword that sharpens iron like clay this time, but also knows a secret way out of the city, and at the same time, I have friends to answer me, and I will definitely be able to rescue you." ”
Lan Yu said: "I know that you are not what you used to be, and you have grown again, which makes me very happy." Maybe you can get me out of prison, but I still can't get out. I am the head of the Lan family, the main culprit in this case, if I run away, what will happen to your sister-in-law? What will happen to the other family members? They will definitely be punished more cruelly for my escape, what face will I have to live in the world? My family and I share life and death!"
At this time, there was a sound of unlocking outside, and Lan Yue hurriedly said: "Then I will want to rescue the whole family together, big brother, you have to wait for me!"
Lan Yu said in a low voice: "Quickly put on the mask, leave quickly, don't think of me!"
Lan Yue put on her mask again, took two steps, and looked back at Lan Yu deeply before turning to leave.
Soon after going out, Linglong'er, who was hiding not far away, handed over the remaining gold to Mao Xi'an, and after watching him leave happily, the three of them went back to their place of residence.
Lan Yue was the last to return to the place where she lived, and when she entered the house, she saw Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er discussing this hotly, and when she saw Lan Yue coming back, Shen Chaixing said: "I have drawn up a map of what I saw today, and at the same time marked the surrounding situation, and we have drawn up a plan for action." As he spoke, he couldn't help but draw on the drawings.
"First of all, because Zhao Prison is not a real prison, its own defense is only average. The only difficulty in Zhao Prison is that it is in the Jinyi Guard command post, so there are a large number of Jinyi guards gathered here during the day, and it is really difficult to start. However, the night was different, and there would be no more people than the officers on duty and the guards of the prison itself. The reason why no one dared to rescue people from Zhao Prison in the past was because even if you walked out of Zhao Prison and walked out of the Jinyi Guard Command Post, you would not be able to escape from Jingshi, and you would not be found long on the street or in any house, and it would be in vain. Unlike us, we have tunnels, and we can go out of the city directly or stay in the tunnels for a while. ”
Shen Chaixing used his imagination to continue to explain: "My plan is that during the day tomorrow, Linglong'er will buy a small boat and wait on the river not far behind the Jinyiwei command post, and at the same time prepare enough arrows. In the middle of the night, I infiltrated the Jinyi Guard's command post with the convenience of the 'Silver Wing Flying Claw', and slashed through the door of Zhao Prison with the 'Longyuan Sword' in my hand and entered it. I looked during the day, and the guards in the cells did not add up to ten, and there were no masters, so they were easy to deal with. After I killed him, I used the 'Longyuan Sword' to cut the chains on my eldest brother's body and rescue him. At this time, there will be Jinyi Guard rescuers outside to block the gate of Zhaojiao, and Yue Dashao you are holding a 'Split Stone Bow' squatting on this roof five hundred steps away, and intercepting the Jinyi Guard reinforcements who are blocking the door and coming to the courtyard to pursue from a distance. ”
"You're in charge of taking out the pursuers behind me, and I'm in charge of using the Flying Claws to escape with my eldest brother from this courtyard wall next to you. I will take my eldest brother to the boat that Linglong is ready to answer, and then the three of them will enter the secret passage under the ancient bridge not far in front of them from the river, and then exit the city through the secret passage. After you are sure that we have escaped, you will escape through the secret passage under the bell tower of Bao'en Temple. Due to the long range of your 'Splitting Stone Bow', the pursuers are also five hundred paces away from you, and with your light skills, of course, there is no problem, you can easily sneak into the tunnel, and then we will meet at the exit of Zhongshan and decide on the next step. ”
Shen Chaixing finished talking about his plan of action in one breath, Linglong'er handed him a cup of tea with a smile, and said, "Come, drink a cup of tea first and moisten your throat." I didn't expect you, who are usually stupid, to come up with such a well-thought-out plan in such a short period of time, which is really unseemly! I don't know you, and I think you've been on the battlefield for a long time! With your talent, you can go to my Ryukyu Kingdom to be a general. ”
Shen Chaixing said: "It's no problem to go to Ryukyu to be a general, just don't be a colt!" The scene suddenly became lively.
