20. The third brother robbed a death row prisoner

It was late at night, and Qiao Wanquan, Cui Da'an and others went to Handan City to rest. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the fast catchers live in the official post, Cui Da'an and the executioner all live in the inn.

Although the night was late, many people could not sleep.

Cui Da'an and his wife were lying down and chatting, talking about Ding Piaopeng's admiration, embarrassed and sad; Handan prefect was also very excited, just waiting for Ding Piaopeng's head to hit the ground, as soon as Ding Piaopeng died, his revenge plan will be in full swing, the first thing is to make the Huang shopkeeper of the Huangliang Dream Hotel look good, hehe, you kid is dead.

The most difficult to sleep is Qiao Wanquan, he has put Ding Piaopeng on death row in Handan, Ding Piaopeng's face is like a blank paper, and the dead man is only one breath away, there is no need to worry, but what to worry about is the mysterious person who shot the owl Hu Dafa acupoint in Wangzhuang, I heard the owl say, that person is called Jiang Banxian, is a doctor in the rivers and lakes, just one move, let the extraordinary Kongtong master owl be restrained, what a powerful role. Some people say that it is the "ever-changing Third Brother Liu" rumored in the rivers and lakes, except for Third Brother Liu, there will be no second person who can have such skills and such a righteous hero.

Legend has it that no one has ever seen his true face, and he always shows the world his disguised face. Therefore, people have speculated: Some people say that he is an extremely ugly and ugly man, and his disguise is to hide his ugliness; some people say that he is a gentle scholar, and his disguise is to cover up his elegance, otherwise, he may not be able to suppress the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes; and some people say that he is an old man, and his disguise is to hide his old age and look younger. Some people even say that the disguise is of course to cover up the original face, and the disguise is also to create momentum, in order to create a mysterious conjecture atmosphere, disturb the sight of the fast catcher, officers and soldiers, and thieves, so that Liu Sange can smoothly travel between the rivers and lakes and the world.

There are many opinions. It seems that the last statement is the original intention of Yi Rong.

Just now, the owl Hu Dafa and the thunderbolt pioneer Lei Wei also arrived successively, when they received Qiao Ye's carrier pigeon message, they came day and night, and saw Ding Piaopeng in a coma, Lei Wei was so happy that he danced. Qiao Wanquan had already sent Lei Wei to take five arresters to guard the death row, not leaving an inch, staring at Ding Piaopeng. As soon as the morning dawned, Ding Piaopeng was immediately lifted into the carriage and escorted to the capital.

Qiao Wanquan pondered: Third Brother Liu used a carriage with a sachet to lead himself into the southeast, where is he now? Where is the carriage in which Ding Piaopeng and Wang Xiaoer were riding? Wang Xiaoer escaped on horseback and did not take the carriage with him, why is the carriage missing from the Walker Bridge Inn? Could it be that Third Brother Liu is near the Walker Bridge? Once he learns that Ding Piaopeng is being detained on death row in Handan, he will definitely go to the rescue, and no matter how heavily guarded the death row is, it will be just a piece of cake for him.

Thinking of this, I can't help but be surprised, I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well go to prison and have a look. He jumped up, called Chu Ke and his wife, Hu Dafa and ten arresters, and hurried to Handan Prison.

He had already made up his mind: when he arrived on death row, he would not be able to care so much, and the promise he had made to his senior brother just now could not be counted, and if Ding Piaopeng was allowed to run away again, what year and month would he be able to arrest him! He decided to kill Ding Piaopeng. Of course, there are various ways to die, you don't have to use the knife, in the future, the senior brother can also have an explanation, so as not to be frightened and have many dreams at night.

When Liu Sange rode the "big black" to the toddler bridge, it was late, and more than 100 riders had already surrounded Cui Da'an and Ding Piaopeng. He hid the "big black" in a secret place next to the inn, and used the shadows of the trees as a cover, and unknowingly, the ghost stepped under the toddler bridge. I only heard what the overlord whip Cui Da'an and the iron-masked god Qiao Wanquan were discussing.

Third Brother Liu looked at a catcher gathered around the periphery, fat and thin similar to himself, a little on tiptoe, jumping into the saddle, the catcher was just about to exclaim, he had already clicked on the acupoint. Taking advantage of the night, he hugged the catcher, turned the horse's head and left, looking from behind, it seemed that the catcher was riding a horse to the willow forest, and no one paid attention to it.

Entering the willow forest, the third brother flew off the horse, patted the fast acupoint, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to die or live?"

Catch fast said: "Heroes spare their lives, they want to live." ”

Third Brother Liu said, "What's your name?"

Catch Kuaidao: "The villain's surname is Mao, and his name is Mao Daming." ”

Third Brother Liu asked, "What's the nickname?"

"Nicknamed 'Caterpillar'. ”

Third Brother Liu asked, "Where are you from?"

Catch Kuaidao: "Sichuan Sa, Sichuan Mianyang." ”

Liu Sange ordered the acupoint of the "caterpillar" again, changed into the soft boots, soap suit, black hat, and waist tag of the catcher, and deliberately changed his makeup according to the face of the "caterpillar", and became a new "caterpillar". He hid the catch in the bushes, then sneaked out on a horse, stepped on the back of the toddler bridge inn, tied the horse, swept into the courtyard, saw that the carriage was still there, and was overjoyed, so he opened the door of the backyard, led the "big black", put on the carriage, took advantage of the night, drove the carriage, came to the southwest road of the toddler bridge three miles, and learned the partridge's cry: "coo, coo" , called twice, and there were two partridge calls in the woods on the side of the road, and a figure flew out, it was the old dragon head who turned over the river and the sea, he whispered a few words with the old dragon head, handed over the carriage to the old dragon head, and the two broke up.

Liu Sange carried out light work, swept back to the Walker Bridge Inn, and rode a horse that caught the "caterpillar" to blend into the crowd.

Now, his name is Mao Daming, nicknamed "Caterpillar", and the nickname "Caterpillar" is funny.

Liu Sange is a funny person, he thinks that sometimes people in this life really seem to be joking, like acting. Some of them acted well and were promoted to become rich; some acted badly and were imprisoned for crimes; some did not act well and were poor and miserable; some acted in a chic and free manner; some acted frankly and naturally, ploughing the fields and studying; and some acted in a loud and prosperous manner, and money was rolling in.

What kind of life you want, how you should practice. The so-called "plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans" is this truth.

Of course, luck is also half-baked, and if you don't believe in luck, you can't do it.

Some people sleep easily, wake up naturally, and count money and have cramps; some people, using their brains and working hard, in the end, are still stretched and unable to sustain. That's good or bad luck.

Now, if he wants to rescue Ding Piaopeng, he has to play a catcher, and wait for the opportunity to start.

As for whether Ding Piaopeng can be rescued or not, it will be up to chance.

When Cui Da'an made a request to Qiao Wanquan, he had already dismounted, squeezed into the crowd, and stood beside Qiao Wan, who was the one who carried Ding Piaopeng into the carriage with another catcher.

The caterpillar seemed to be very talkative, and anyone could call him, "Come, caterpillar, carry the stretcher." "Go, caterpillar, go to death row to watch the detainers, and don't sleep tonight." He always replied, "If you want it, you have to get it, master." ”

There are always some people around us who are docile and very talkative, and "Caterpillar" is such a person.

Lei Wei took five arresters to the prison to watch Ding Piaopeng, and the caterpillar was one of them.

Tonight, Handan Prison is heavily guarded, and in addition to being guarded by jailers at the gates, corridors, back doors, and watchtowers, dozens of sturdy officers and soldiers wearing armor and holding knives and guns have been added. Inside and outside the prison walls, there are arresters patrolling back and forth, and the Handan prison is as tightly guarded as an iron bucket. This was carefully arranged by Mao Qingyun, the prefect of Handan.

Legend has it that the flying thief Ding Piaopeng is a cat and has nine lives, so he can always turn danger into disaster and become auspicious. Hmph, today, it doesn't matter if you are a tiger, you have ten lives, and you have to die.

Ding Piaopeng must die, if he doesn't die, he won't have a good life, and if he doesn't die, it's hard to snow the shame in his heart.

Why didn't you cut Ding Piaopeng with a knife, if you let him run away again, it would be very bad. He called his cronies to arrest Guo Zhongzhong, whispered, Guo Zhongzhong nodded again and again, and then took the order to leave.

The large wall of the Handan prison is high, and there are four watchtowers at the four corners of the wall. The prison hall is within the large wall, and the corridors around the prison are hung with wind lanterns, which illuminate the corridors brightly, and if there is any movement in the prison courtyard, the watchtower can be seen at a glance.

Death row is a basement at the end of the middle corridor of the cell, leading to the entrance of the death row There is a small room, and now in addition to one jailer, it is the Thunderbolt pioneer Lei Wei and five catchers on duty. Open an iron door, is a long stone staircase, the two walls are all made of boulders, after walking the stairs, is a stone paved road, on both sides of a total of ten death cells, all with boulders partitions, the door of each death row cell, are made of an iron fence with a thick arm, extremely strong, a huge iron lock hanging outside the door.

On death row, inmates for minor crimes enter the house every day to clean and change the urine pots, but the air is still filthy and foul because of poor ventilation.

Ding Piaopeng was locked up in the stone cell on the left side of the end of death row, lying on a stretcher, and no one cared about whether he was alive or dead.

Third Brother Liu has hidden worries, Qiao Wanquan is a very scheming person, and he may change his mind at any time. For him, the safest thing is to let Ding Piaopeng die, and as soon as Ding Piaopeng dies, the case will be closed and the work will be completed. As for how Ding Piaopeng died, that is fine, in this way, he can also have an explanation for his senior brother Overlord Whip Cui Da'an.

Yes, you have to do it quickly, and you can't delay for a moment. Third Brother Liu was about to make a move, when he saw a Handan catcher coming in the room, Lei Wei, the pioneer of Thunderbolt, shouted, "What kind of person, what are you doing?"

Handan said quickly: "On the order of the prefect, I came to inspect the prison." As he spoke, he handed the prefect's order arrow to Lei Wei.

Lei Wei checked the arrow, and with a wave of his hand, the jailer took off a bunch of keys from his waist, picked one, clicked, and opened the iron door of the dungeon. Carrying a horse lantern, leading the way in front, accompanying Handan to go to death row to inspect, "Caterpillar" said to Lei Wei: "Master Lei, I'll go down and have a look." ”

Lei Wei said: "Yes, go down and look at the point, check the prison, and tell them to come up immediately."

Don't go on and on. ”

The caterpillar said, "Head to head." ”

Liu Sange went down to the dungeon, and the stone walls of the dungeon were very damp, and the stench pierced the eyes

He hid in the distant shadows, saw that he was about to go to the end of the dungeon, pointed to the cell on the left, and said to the jailer: "Open the cell door." ”

The jailer saw that there was a prefect's order and arrow, and the source was not small, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, wait a minute." "I fumbled and took out a key, unlocked the cell, and the iron door creaked open.

It was the third watch, and the death row inmates slept soundly and were not woken up.

Quickly attached himself to the jailer's ear and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to get rich?"

The jailer said, "I dream of it." ”

Quickly took out two silver dollars from his arms, which weighed a pound, and stuffed them into the jailer's arms, and said, "Silence, you haven't seen anything, you haven't heard anything, do you know?"

The jailer said, "The little one is afraid that something will happen." ”

Catch quickly said: "If something happens, the prefect will bear it for you, and Lao Tzu will bear it for you, you are afraid of a fart." ”

The jailer said: "If you dare to be kind, the villain will do it." Father. ”

Handan is Guo Zhongzhong, a close confidant of the Mao Governor's Mansion, and what he said to the jailer was very light, but Liu Sange heard it clearly.

At that time, Guo Zhongzhong stepped into the cell, took out a piece of white cloth, and went to cover Ding Piaopeng's mouth and nose, and now, the heroic Ding Piaopeng is as fragile as a baby, there is no doubt that he will die when he covers it, he will die when he dies, and if he dies, he can say: too much blood flow, and he will die.

No one will have suspicions, and there is no way to verify some suspicions, if the upper striker investigates and kills the jailer, there is no proof of death, what can I say. What's more, what the top wants is Ding Piaopeng's head, and no one asks for his confession.

Guo Zhongzhong was about to succeed, but was grabbed by Liu Sange, who suddenly appeared behind him, and then Liu Sange clicked his dumb door, patio, and ring jumping hole, Guo Zhongzhong couldn't move, he found that the jailer with the lantern had caught the road first, and both of them were put down in the corner, they couldn't speak, and their minds were clear.

Third Brother Liu put the horse lamp on the stone table in the cell, and saw that Ding Piaopeng's face was as white as paper, and his life was hanging by a thread, so he held up Ding Piaopeng's head, took out the white porcelain bottle in his arms, pulled out the stopper, and dripped three drops of "Kunlun Snow Lotus Yang Liquid" into his mouth, Ding Piaopeng squirmed his chapped lips, opened his eyes, and said, "Where is this?"

Third Brother Liu said: "Death row." ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "Ha, this time the officials are happy, there is one less person who sings against them." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "This is a bit premature. ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "Hey, yes, the uncle is not dead yet." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "Ding Daxia can still go out, and he can sing against them again." ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "You are the cell boss and the forbidden son, you are also looking for the happiness of the uncle." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "I'm Third Brother Liu, I'm here to rescue you." ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "Hey, the cell boss is really joking, and the uncle is not fooled by you." ”

Ding Piaopeng still wanted to speak, but finally gave up, closed his eyes, and fainted again.

Third Brother Liu bent down, patted the faces of Guo Zhongzhong and the jailer with his hand, snorted, pulled out his long sword, and said: "After I pat open the acupoints of the two of you, if you want to live, do as I say, if you are tired of living and disobedient, then you will die." ”

The two of them blinked again and again, meaning, listen to you, big brother.

Liu Sange kicked the two of them twice with his toes, and then unlocked the acupoints. The two of them immediately got up from the corner of the wall, patted their clothes, and Liu Sange snatched the arrow from Guo Zhongzhong's waist, inserted it into his waist, and said, "Carry the stretcher, lift Ding Daxia." ”

The two hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "As long as you are obedient, you can live, and if you are disobedient, you will die." Remember?"

The two said: "Remember, big brother." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "Carry the stretcher, if Ding Daxia has three long and two short, you two will accompany Ding Ye to report to Lord Yama." ”

The jailer said: "Don't worry, big brother, the little one still wants to live for two more years, so he will work hard for this little salary, and the little one is not so stupid." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "Follow." ”

The two said: "Yes." ”

The two of them lifted the stretcher, followed behind Liu Sange, and when they arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, Liu Sange said, "Wait a minute." "I shook my body and swept up the room. I could only hear Lei Wei in the number one room asking: "Coming up?"

Third Brother Liu replied: "Master Lei, everything is normal, people are here." ”

Then, I heard a sound of tables and chairs in the room, a few muffled snorts, and then there was no sound. Third Brother Liu said: "Come up." ”

Guo Zhongzhong and the two came up on a stretcher, and saw that there were five men lying in the room, all of whom were pointed at the acupoints, and they couldn't move, including Lei Wei, a big man in the shape of a biao.

The two of them were frightened, and their faces were colorless.

Third Brother Liu grinned and said, "Two little brothers, see clearly." ”

He pulled out his sword, pointed to the two burning candles on the table, and with a flick of his wrist, he saw the long sword flash like lightning, and Third Brother Liu glanced at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Don't get distracted, see clearly." The sword was immediately put into the sheath, and the two candles did not even shake the flame for a minute, and they still burned well.

Guo Zhongzhong was puzzled and said, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Third Brother Liu snorted coldly, slapped his palm on the table, and the two candles were divided into eight pieces, falling from the candlestick, and the embers burned on the table.

It was obvious that his long sword flashed just now, and a total of four swords were produced, and the two candles were divided into eight pieces, which was incredibly accurate and fast, and the speed of the sword was beyond the reach of human eyesight.

Third Brother Liu glared at the two of them and said, "Don't make it tricky, otherwise, it's not fun at all, understand?"

Guo Zhongzhong and the two looked at each other in shock, and said in a loud voice: "The villain understands, the villain understands, how dare the villain joke with his head!"

With a flick of the sleeves of Liu Sange's robe, the candle flame on the table was immediately extinguished by the true qi brought by the sleeves of the robe, and the room suddenly became pitch black.

Third Brother Liu said: "Come with me, don't be afraid, don't speak." ”

The two replied, "Yes, brother." ”

The three of them walked out of the room. Outside the room is the cell for ordinary prisoners, there is a long passage in the middle of the cell, all sides are cells, it is late at night, the sound in the cell is like thunder, sometimes there are dreams and talk, and there are also people who can't wake up, looking out of the window in a daze, thinking that the jailer will carry out the corpses of prisoners who died in the prison to bury them, and they can't help but feel sad when they see the rabbit and the fox, and shake their heads again and again.

The oil lamps embedded in the stone walls of the passage were dim and blurred, and there was an oppressive and gloomy atmosphere in the whole prison, as if walking through hell.

At the end of the passage, there was a heavy and sturdy iron door, and when he arrived at the door, Liu Sange called out to the jailer outside the door, saying, "Open the door, open the door, according to the prefect's order, mention the prisoner." ”

The jailer outside the door verified the arrow, opened the iron door, and the three of them rushed out.

Now, the three of them have been exposed to the open space in the compound, there are no trees in the open space, and the blazing white wind lamps around the courtyard illuminate the open space of the compound as if it were day, Liu Sange and the others walked towards the gate of the compound, and the soldiers on the four watchtowers could see it clearly. One of the guards on a nearby watchtower asked, "What are you doing?"

Third Brother Liu said: "By the order of the prefect, the prisoner is mentioned." ”

The guard said, "Didn't you say that you weren't allowed to take any prisoners out tonight?"

Third Brother Liu said: "Yes, but the situation will change, do you want to ask the prefect?"

The guard said: "Brother, why are you talking so chokingly, interrogation is the rule of the prison." ”

At this time, the officers and soldiers patrolling the courtyard rushed over when they heard the sound, brushed, and all of a sudden, surrounded Liu Sange and the other three, raising their swords and guns together, as if facing a great enemy.

Liu Sange smiled and said: "Haha, do you want to rebel? Who dares to disobey the order of the prefect? Could it be that you have eaten leopard gall." Even the arrest of the criminal department is about to be released, what kind of thing are you, dare to come to block the way of the uncle!" "As soon as he pressed the hilt of the sword, the sword was forced by the true qi, and it seemed to be glued to the palm of his hand, and the bright blade of the sword, like a trace of autumn water, was across his chest, the light was on the eyebrows, and the cold was pressing, Guo Zhongzhong and the jailer who carried the stretcher, knew that the guy was bright to show them, and if there was a slight movement, his sword would destroy the two of us, and it would be divided into eight pieces like two candles, which would be terrible.

The two of them honestly carried the stretcher, how dare they talk nonsense.
