Liu Tugou and Father Wei diverted north to a secret prison for felons in the Imperial Prison.

The second master regretted that he couldn't go to Zhongzhou to see President Long, so he had to comfort himself and said that sooner or later, he would have to move the Great Zhou and let His Majesty the Son of Heaven invite him to sit in the palace of the Taihe of the Beijing Division.

Lord Wei Goulu was noncommittal about Liu Tugou's ambition, in fact, he was silent most of the time.

"Lord Wei, there are not only loyal Tsing Yi ghost pawns in the Imperial Prison, but also ochre clothes and knife slaves who are willing to sell their lives to repent, why take off your pants and fart, and look for me, an escort officer who doesn't know the details? If you don't give a reassurance pill to eat, the second master is really a little uncomfortable in his heart. ”

Liu Tugou's eyes were clear, he looked at an old tree at the end of the road in the distance, and asked lazily.

Since he came out of Lanling, except for a little beggar Liu Sick Slave who is obedient, and a loser Gongxi Xiaobai who inexplicably poured out his heart and lungs, the people he met along the way were all difficult characters with deep and treacherous thoughts.

Not to mention heroes like Nan Shirin and Xue Weichen, the old fox, the sick tiger Shi Yuan, and Murong Chunxiao are even more incomprehensible to the human spirits and goblins who meet in the water but are deeply involved with him.

Pei Dongting is a bright and upright man, he regards him as an evil demon, and he can't wait to kill the second master and then hurry up, where is this reasonable?

Thousands of threads and intertwined fates are a hundred times more exciting than the ordinary life of the dog butcher, and the danger and difficulty of racking their brains and fighting for their lives are also a hundred times more than a hundred times more difficult.

Now even Daddy Wei, a guy who has a grudge against the second master, has come to add icing on the cake, is it really that the second master only grows a head and does not have a brain?

He is not born rich and everything goes well, he is just a market dog who grew up eating hundreds of meals and struggled to survive.

The green-robed goulu seemed to have expected Liu Tugou to ask this question, raised his hand and pointed into the distance, and replied: "I have been in the edict for a long time, just like that old tree, there is a gloomy and cool smell all over my body, and it is easy to teach people to smell it when it touches the nose." ”

Liu Tugou said angrily: "So what, the second master is neither an eagle nor a dog, don't want me to work for you." ”

"The second master is too worried, the edict really just wants to ask you to be an escort officer. But is it...... It is done as a felon who has been escorted. ”

"The trick of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind?"

"Those who wish take the bait, just in case. ”

"It's really insidious! Except for the yellow finch of the second master, there won't be a slingshot behind it, right?"

"Who knows, the second master should not think too highly of himself. ”

The meaning of these words is a little vague, is it saying that there is no need to waste a slingshot to contain the little yellow finch of the second master, or is it warning Liu Tugou not to mess around, otherwise he will have to serve with a slingshot?

"Just send it to the ground?" Liu Tugou asked in a deep voice.

If it weren't for the fact that the Son of Heaven is the greatest, the second master would not have taken on such a thankless errand. After all, no matter how big Ishihara's tiger skin is, he can't immediately pull it to make a big banner, right?

"Actually, there is a reluctant invitation ...... below"

The second master looked at the sky with his eyes and turned a deaf ear.

Wei Goolu suddenly reined in his horse, and said seriously with a respectful expression that Liu Tugou had never seen before: "Among the prisoners, there is a prisoner surnamed Chen, who was originally a driver in Xiangzhou, because the impeachment of Ao Reckless failed, he was exiled for questioning, and he also asked the second master to take care of one or two on the road, especially don't reveal that it is entrusted by the next, Wei Da is here to thank you!"

After all, this edict "Zhu Yeqing", which always had the upper hand everywhere, actually bent down deeply immediately and bowed to Liu Tugou.

I'm afraid this is the real purpose of Wei Goulu.

The foundation of the Wei family is in Xiangzhou, and I don't know what the Xiangzhou driver who committed the crime has to do with this "Wei Da", so he made him so exhausted, not only exposing the grudge with Liu Tugou, but even offending Ao Mang, a powerful minister whose second master has long heard his name.

Thinking about it again, this Daddy Wei's previous series of obviously unreasonable actions all make sense. Although this trip must be dangerous, Liu Tugou's heart was put down.

"The second master wants to pretend to be a prisoner, the short blade is easy to hide, but the horse can't be ridden, and when he arrives in Shuofang, someone will naturally return the treasure horse. After that, the second master can only do what he likes, causing trouble, killing and killing, all of which are indispensable. ”

After saying this, the two fell silent again.

Ah Wei snorted dissatisfiedly, spread his hooves in the cold wind, and threw Wei Goulu's thin horse away......

There is a mountain on the northern boundary of Xi'an Prefecture, which is not famous.

Because the vegetation is scarce, there are often only a few plants and trees on the top of the mountain, so it is called Guangfu Lingzi by the local mountain people.

One year, when the county was measuring the cultivated land on the mountain, one of the leading masters felt that it was too vulgar, so he changed the name of "Qingtou Mountain", which has been inherited since then.

At the foot of Qingtou Mountain, there is a former official road passing by, and there is a small half-dead post station next to this almost abandoned official road, and there are not many officials who come and go all year round.

There was a large bunk for officials and servants in the inn, and when the sun was about to go down that day, this not too large room was already overcrowded.

There were more than a dozen strong men lying on the kang, occupying all the places where they could lie down and sleep, and it also filled the room with a strong smell of sweat.

A thin, dark-skinned man huddled in a corner, his eyes as vigilant and ferocious as a wolf. He was staring at a young man on the other side, his eyes unblinking.

Brother Gongzi was sitting against the wall, looking at the thin man with interest, with a smile on his face.

On the edge of the kang near the young man sat an old man with a scruffy beard, napping with his head down, his chin buried in a messy white beard.

Without exception, these people were dressed in prison uniforms, shackles and handcuffs made of heavy iron in the East China Sea, and they were all unlucky people in prison.

There was only one door leading to the lobby of the post, and two soldiers in fiery red robes stood outside the door.

The young man who looked like a childe first twisted his body slightly, stretched his waist, and then put his arms behind his back, crossed his hands against the wall, and rested his head on the palms and shackles.

After changing to this relatively comfortable position, he shouted weakly outside the door: "The military master at the door, everyone is eating and drinking spicy food in the lobby, we are not greedy, but we have to reward a steamed bun at the bottom!"

A soldier sneered without looking back: "Shen Gongzi said that he laughed, if you really want to feed and drink enough for you people, I'm afraid the food guy on the neck of our brothers will not be very stable." ”

"Master Jun said that he laughed, with Xu and Gao here, can we unlucky bastards still run away?"

The young man called "Shen Gongzi" sighed and said as a scoundrel: "If you don't give you food, you won't leave, why do I think I'm going to die in front of Old Man Chen?"

As he spoke, his right foot suddenly kicked out smartly, and the tip of his foot hit the back of the old man who was napping, and the shackles on his feet trembled, making a clattering sound.

The old man's head fell sharply, and then he rose quickly, and he suddenly woke up from his sleepiness.

He opened his mouth and snorted lightly, spit out the beard that had reached into his mouth, and said sleepily: "These outlaws are just that, Shen boy, you are a famous family, why are you lazy and indulgent and uneducated?"

Shen Gongzi sneered disapprovingly: "After the fame of bullshit, the wealth and glory are gone, and the old kindness and thoughts will be scattered like clouds, and the rest is just some broken jars, which are too eye-catching to leave there." ”

The old man shook his head and stopped talking.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the lines on his palms.

Shen Gongzi was not willing to let go of the silent old man, and said: "Look at your messy palm prints, you deserve to be lonely and die in a foreign land in your old age!"

"Your Excellency, Vice-Chancellor!" said the guard at the door.

Shen Gongzi and the old man turned their heads at the same time, and saw a young man in an ochre robe stepping in.

The young man had a thick beard, deep-set eye sockets, and was tall but not very strong, like a huge skeleton, and even longer hands and feet.

He had a pair of straw sandals on his feet and a green bamboo cane pinned to his waist.

As everyone knows, there are three kinds of fierce gods and evil spirits in the edict and prison -- "green-robed snake", "green-clothed dog", and "ochre-clothed eagle".

There is still a quota for the court to record and ghost pawns, but the detailed number of knife slaves has always been a secret, and I am afraid that only the Son of Heaven and the Marquis of the Prison can know.

The more secretive, the more unscrupulous.

"Ochre Eagles" are all masters of criminal prisoners who accept the court's recruitment and are willing to make meritorious contributions, and they act like hungry eagles, with almost no bottom line and a very bad reputation.

The eyes of the deputy envoy in ochre clothes first looked at the old man, and then swept over Shen Gongzi and the thin black man who was shrinking in the corner, and after confirming that he was okay, he let go of the door that was blocked by his tall body.

At the doorway stood a young man with shackled hands and feet, his flowing black hair casually scattered, and a red vertical mark on the center of his eyebrows, which added a lot to his unremarkable appearance.

The boy wore a moon-white coarse linen garment, with a peculiar style, between a strong suit and a robe, with a short hem and wide cuffs, an oval section, a cyan belt tied around his waist, and a pair of simple black cloth shoes on his feet.

Although the material of the clothes is coarse, it is better than the tight stitches, the proper tailoring, and the tall and slightly thin figure of the young man, which actually wears a fresh taste that washes away the lead and returns to the basics.

Shen Gongzi let out a "huh" and shouted: "Senior Deputy Envoy, has this brother offended you, why didn't he even give him a set of prison clothes, and the edict is too stingy, right?"

He obviously said this in reverse, this boy is obviously very unkind to the prison clothes on his body, everyone is just the same, and now there are people who are special, so how can they bear it?

The deputy envoy surnamed Gao glanced at Shen Gongzi and said, "How can you have the spare time to go back and change his prison uniform! A thief who has just been arrested is naturally not comparable to Master Shen." If it were you, not only the prison clothes, but even the coffin would have to be properly prepared. ”

Shen Gongzi was choked by these words, and he no longer found himself bored to tease this senior deputy envoy, it stands to reason that he wants to talk about black hearts and poisonous mouths, Shen Gongzi thinks that he will never lose to this "ochre eagle", but people are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads.

He immediately pointed the finger at the new Mai boy, and said mightily: "Boy, have you heard the words of the senior deputy envoy, and you will naturally have your benefits in the future......"

The Mai boy grinned when he heard this, showed a mouthful of fine white teeth, and nodded: "That's, the little brother understands the rules, you can look at it!"
