Chapter Eighty-Five: Mountain Rain is Coming
The "Yingtianfu", where the capital of the Ming Dynasty was located, was known as Jianye, Jiankang and Jinling in ancient times. During the Yuan Dynasty, it was called Jiqing Road. In the sixteenth year of Yuan Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the troops to three roads, fought for ten days, conquered Jiqing Road, changed its name to Yingtianfu, and set the capital here three years later, also known as "Jingshi".
On the fourth day of June, in the afternoon. Jingshi Zhao Prison Prison.
The weather is hot and humid, occasionally there is a gust of hot wind, blowing people in a daze, Niu Yugang who is on duty today guarding the cell door is sleeping, last night and a few cell heads were idle and bored, drank a night of wine, and now have a headache, Zhao Prison is so hot as a steamer, only the wind blows through the gate from time to time, although it is also a hot wind, but it is better than nothing, Niu Yugang found a rattan chair to lie at the door, blowing the wind to sleep. There is a dense willow tree not far from the outside of the door, and there is a shady place under it, lying there must be cooler, but Niu Yugang did not dare to go, first, where the duty is, and secondly, around the time of Shenshi today, the people from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate will take away the prisoners, Lan Yu and his family.
Niu Yugang was happy that the prisoners of the Lan family were taken away, because as an old man who had been in Zhao Prison for nearly twenty years, he was not like others who regarded the abuse of prisoners as a kind of fun, it was the work of some energetic young people or psychopathic old people, Niu Yugang also did it with great interest in the early years, but after a long time, he lost interest, after all, he didn't get anything from it.
Now, in his eyes, these prisoners are goods, some of which are strange goods that can make him earn money, while others are wasted and have no money to earn. Lan Yu belongs to the goods that can't make money, although he used to be the "Duke of Liangguo", once he raided his house, all his property belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang, not to mention the cell boss, even the Jinyi Wei who handled the case couldn't make money. After being arrested, everyone wanted to draw a line with him, and no one came to see him, so naturally he couldn't make any money. A large family of people, in vain occupies such a scarce position in Zhaojiao! This time, as soon as the Lan family leaves, they can free up a lot of places, and when they get new goods, they will have money, thinking of this, Niu Yugang smiled half-asleep, and suddenly his saliva wet his chest.
"Poof, poof, poof!" "Poof, poof, poof!" Niu Yugang woke up from his dream with a violent slamming sound of the door, and the first feeling he had for the professionalism he had cultivated in Zhao Prison was: Someone had robbed the prison! He was half-starving, and he staggered to pull the alarm organ of Zhao Prison.
As an informal prison, there are not many cell bosses in Zhao Prison, so although the alarm bell inside the prison will also be sounded, it is mainly connected by this set of external alarm bells. Zhao Prison is located in the command post of the Jinyi Guard's pro-army, and there are nearly 1,000 Jinyi Guard's pro-army who live in the station, once the alarm bell rings, the more than 1,000 Jinyi Guards will be able to surround the small Zhao Prison within a certain period of time, of course, if the other party is extremely fast, he can still escape from the command post before the Jinyi Guard's reinforcements are surrounded, but in the Beijing Division, unless the sky goes to the earth, it is difficult to escape in the end. Some time ago, someone tried it, but in the end, it ended up being chased by the Jinyi Guard and the Divine Sword Gate for hundreds of miles, and the result of losing troops and losing generals.
With all his eyes opened, Niu Yugang finally saw the person coming outside the iron gate before sounding the alarm: it turned out to be two captains dressed in Jinwuwei bullfighting uniforms holding documents and certificates, and dozens of officials from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple were standing outside. Presumably because the weather was hot and impatient, the person who was the leader knocked on the iron door every once in a while, and after seeing the person clearly, Niu Yugang pulled back the hand of the alarm, opened the small iron window one foot square, and shouted: "Come, come, don't knock!"
The other party stuffed the document voucher through the window, Niu Yugang took it and checked it one by one, the formalities were complete, and then opened the half of the tiger talisman hidden in the voucher and the other half of the one issued yesterday - it was exactly the same, completely consistent. Niu Yugang opened the iron door after collecting his things, yawned, and muttered: "It's not that Shen Shiti is a person, there is still an hour, why did you come early?"
The leader said indifferently: "Then you have to ask these masters, and ask them if they had an appointment in the evening, so they hurriedly did it in advance!"
When Niu Yugang heard this, he snorted and opened the door to release people. For a moment, Niu Yugang felt as if he had seen the proud eyes of the person who was the leader from somewhere, and thought to himself, our people in the Beijing division are like this, even if it is an ordinary person, it is also domineering, not to mention the personal guards around the emperor, they are all virtuous!
With the sound of shackles of "clang, clang", one by one the Lan family prisoners were taken out of Zhao Prison, and some of them could no longer walk, so they could only be helped out by other prisoners.
One by one, the prisoners stood in the courtyard, and the people of Jinyi Weizhao Prison were busy with the handover procedures with the people of the three divisions. Tomorrow is the time of death for these prisoners, but a few of them have smiled for the first time in a long time because they can see the sun again. The sun that can scorch the dead is precious to them at this moment, because, after tomorrow, it will never be seen.
Lan Yu was the last to be taken out and got on the only prisoner car, Niu Yugang also asked why this was the case, those officers of the Criminal Department complained that more than 10,000 people had been implicated in this case, and now the Criminal Department not only did not have enough prisoner cars, but all the officers had to work day and night, and they were also full of complaints and miserable. Listening to their complaints, Niu Yugang, who is a Jinyi guard, actually felt a little proud, as a Jinyi guard, whether in terms of status or treatment, he is much better than those criminal department servants.
Seeing that the three divisions and more than 100 prisoners from the Blue Mansion left Zhao Prison in a mighty manner, Niu Yugang breathed a sigh of relief, even if today's work is over, there will be new prisoners sent tomorrow, and it will be a busy day, Niu Yugang moved out of the rattan chair and ordered the iron door to be closed inside, and he can sleep well under the shade of the tree now.
As the last Lan Fu family member walked out of Zhao Prison and came to the street, a boulder hanging in Lan Yue's heart fell to the ground slightly. The day after returning the fake documents, Lan Yue and Shen Chaixing came to an old house nearby, and rented the courtyard with the gold that could buy the courtyard, and the lease period was only one month, and the family happily moved to the countryside for the summer with the gold. Gold replaced force, both sides were happy, Blue Moon Shen Chasing Star opened the secret passage located in the ancestral hall in the backyard, and when he saw that it was intact and could be used normally, he closed it again, just waiting for the arrival of today. The exit to the secret passage was not marked on the map at first, but it was discovered by accident when the trio explored the underground passage several times. Originally, Yi Linglong'er meant that the day before the action, she directly clicked on the family's acupoints, and after twelve hours, the acupoints were self-explanatory, but Shen Chaixing disagreed, firstly, he did not want to hurt people, and secondly, he was afraid of exposing the secret passage of Momen.
Blue Moon was in front, Shen Chasing Star was behind, and thirty heavily armed Momen dead soldiers walked on both sides of the team, obviously guarding, but actually protecting. Linglong'er was not in the team, in the morning Lan Yue and Shen Chaixing wanted her to go out of the city first and wait, but she didn't agree to live or die, and she also wanted to participate, and in the end there was no way, Lan Yue arranged for her to answer at the entrance of the secret passage, Shen Chaixing was not at ease, not only found her a short blade for self-defense, but also put the "Silver Wing Flying Claw" on her, just in case.
The hot sky actually blew a cool breeze at this time, but Lan Yue's heart was warm, there was already a street away from Jinyi Weizhao Prison, and two more streets ahead, turn right to go to Dali Temple, turn left, and walk another street to the entrance of the secret passage. Lan Yue glanced at the "errand officer" on the side, and the "errand officer" suddenly understood, and they all rudely drove the prisoner to walk a few steps quickly.
Lan Yue also walked a few steps closely, came to the prisoner car, did not turn her head, lowered her voice into a line, passed into Lan Yu's ears, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, don't turn your head, I'm Yue'er!"
Lan Yu in the prisoner car suddenly heard Lan Yue's voice next to his ears, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and his heart was excited, but he didn't dare to turn, his eyes were still looking straight ahead, but tears flowed out.
Lan Yue's voice came again: "Big brother, bear with me a little longer, take two more streets in front and turn left." ”
Lan Yu couldn't answer, so she could only nod her head slightly.
As time slowly passed, there was still a street away from the bend in front, and Lan Yue's heartbeat slowly accelerated, becoming more and more hot, but cold sweat broke out in the palms of her hands.
At this time, there was a "boom" roar of thunder in the distance, the clear sky was gradually covered with dark clouds, and the subtle cool breeze gradually turned into a strong wind, and the wind was mixed with grains of yellow sand, which made people's faces hurt.
For some reason, Shen Chaixing, who was walking behind the team, did not have the feeling of Blue Moon's excitement, but had an inexplicable uneasiness, and the further he went, the stronger this uneasiness became, and even a feeling of panic.
has gone straight to the last street, on both sides of this street, there are no shops, all are lined with high walls, turn left in front, and then walk another street to reach the secret passage, Lan Yue thought to herself, it is best to make the sky beautiful, and it will rain after everyone enters the secret passage. Just thinking about it, a thunderclap came to mind not far away.
After entering this street, the uneasiness in Shen Chaixing's heart did not decrease, but became stronger. At this moment, Shen Chaixing secretly carried out the great Wuxiang Gong, and at the same time quickly went through all these things that happened in the past from beginning to end, and suddenly found two possible loopholes, one is Gong Baoshan, although he is from Momen, he is not familiar with it. Soon he ruled out this suspicion again, Gong Baoshan knew where they were staying, and something was going to happen, and something would have happened sooner. And Li Jinglong didn't know if there would be a loophole in their secret location in Beijing? After all, he was not familiar with Li Jinglong's personality.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Shen Chaixing's mind, and he knew why he felt uncertain, the problem was in his eyes!
When passing by that street just now, the eyes of the bosses, guys, and customers in those shops looking at them were not the eyes of ordinary people looking at the excitement, but the eyes of hunters observing their prey, ruthless and constantly looking for the weaknesses of their opponents, Shen Chaixing saw this kind of look from Jiang Yulin's eyes, and also saw this kind of look from the eyes of the Japanese during the Battle of Taihu Lake, and also saw this kind of look from the eyes of the disciples of the "Divine Sword Gate", yes! If I didn't guess wrong, the two sides of the street just now were covered with "Divine Sword Sect" disciples!
