Hu Yidi made an appointment with Canglong before meeting at the old mill in the city. After Canglong left the orchid courtyard, he rushed straight to the old mill......

The old mill is an abandoned mill house in Juming City, because it is deserted and outdated, and the prefect of Juming City also ignores this matter, so this vicissitudes of life is like an old man in his old age, and the cracks covered with dust can be vaguely seen on the broken bracket railing. The old mill resolutely stood in the middle of the city, adding a bit of desolation to the remote city of the border pass......

Canglong walked quickly to the old mill, looked around, and vaguely saw Hu Yidi waiting under one of the eaves of the old mill. Canglong stepped forward and beckoned, "Brother Hu, I've kept you waiting-"

Hu Yidi saw that Canglong was coming, and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Canglong is really punctual and lives up to Hu's wishes!"

"I don't have to say much politely, you can quickly say how to investigate......" Canglong hit the nail on the head, "After all, I have something important to do, and after I have dealt with this matter for you, I will escort Miss Fang back to Yixian Gate." ”

Hu Yidi was unhurried, he turned his head and said step by step: "I told you before that the rampant thieves here are probably due to the collusion of officials and thieves...... However, these are some of our speculations, as well as some suspicions that have recently been discovered in the city, but there is no conclusive evidence...... When I met you at the restaurant before, I was about to grab the evidence, but I asked Brother Canglong to let you go......" Hu Yidi said this, and also blamed Canglong on the side for letting go of the thieves who secretly hid stolen money.

Canglong, who has always been steady and unslow, also looks a little impatient at this time. Immediately followed: "Just say it, what should I do?"

Hu Yidi glanced back at Canglong again, and continued to smile: "Of course, it is to re-search the evidence...... But today it happened. I'm afraid that in the future, they will be more careful not to let us easily find the location of their stolen money. It's useless to wait for the rabbits, we have to take the initiative and hit the places where they might turn heads......"

"Where is that location?" asked Canglong again. 、

"If the place of the transaction is placed, they will definitely renegotiate it, and they can't let outsiders know, so it's very likely that the location of the negotiation is a place that outsiders can't enter lightly......" Hu Yidi continued to analyze. "When it comes to the place where outsiders can't enter lightly, and the place where both officials and thieves often come and go, it is not suspicious. That place has only ...... Prison!"

"You want to sneak into prison?" Canglong seemed to understand, and added.

"That's right," Hu Yidi continued, "not only to infiltrate the prison, but also to infiltrate their robbers as undercover agents. Then know where they are in contact with the government. When the time comes, we will prepare an ambush there in advance. And then catch them all......"

Canglong thought for a while, and continued: "The idea is very good, but don't forget, even if you arrest those thieves again, and do the same thing as the beggars, the government will still take the opportunity to let them out and do shady 'underground deeds'." They even learn their lesson and change the location of the meeting to a more secluded place. If you do this over and over again, you will be doing it in vain. Doesn't solve the underlying problem......"

"So this time...... We want to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots-" Hu Yidi said with an intriguing expression, "The first goal we want to solve is the prefect who has strung up with those thieves, as long as he straightens it out on the spot, all the qiē will be simple......"

"Are you going to attack the prefect of the imperial court?" asked Canglong cautiously.

"What, don't you dare?" Hu Yidi listened to Canglong's tone, and asked in an echo, "The dignified Canglong hero killed one or two traitors and corrupt officials for the sake of the people of the world, why don't you dare to do it?" Brother Canglong, you won't be afraid, right?"

Canglong was silent for a long time, looking at Hu Yidi with his eyes, and then said slowly: "Hmph, why don't you dare?" I haven't been against the Mengyuan Imperial Court before...... Canglong said as he seemed to recall something.

"Then it's decided, Brother Canglong is really a man!" Hu Yidi turned to praise again.

"Don't be too happy yet, there is no evidence to prove that it is really the collusion of officials and thieves-" Canglong was afraid that Hu Yidi would forget his god, so he reminded in a different voice.

"......I know," Hu Yidi continued, "that's why we have to infiltrate the government prison first and investigate secretly...... Follow me—" After speaking, Hu Yidi made a gesture and motioned for Canglong to follow him.

"Do you know the location of the dungeon?" asked Canglong.

"Of course-" Hu Yidi said with a smile, "I, Hu Yidi, came to Juming City earlier than you Canglong, and I know much more about what is here than you--I also know what the beggar disciples have done here, and of course I have seen the scene where they escorted the thieves back to the house, so I know very well where the location of the dungeon is......"

So, Hu Yidi quickened his pace, Canglong followed, and it didn't take long for the two of them to rush to a remote corner of the official mansion, as if there was a hidden entrance - it seemed that this was the entrance to the prison of the official mansion of Juming City......

"This is ......" Hu Yidi and Canglong hid in a small forest dozens of feet away from the entrance of the dungeon, the two looked at the entrance of the prison and the guards, Hu Yidi whispered.

"It's very loosely guarded here...... Canglong also whispered.

"Yes, the prefect of Juming City is called Song Lianxun, he is a Han Chinese, he used to be a petty official in Henan, and then he seems to have committed something, he came all the way to the border pass, took refuge in the Mengyuan forces here, and became the prefect of Juming City...... Hu Yidi whispered, "It is said that Song Lianxun is a person who eats inside and out, and doesn't care about any political affairs." Before, the officials of the Mengyuan court came here to inspect, and he pretended to be the same as the turtle grandson. Recently, the war in the Mengyuan court has been tight, and he doesn't care about the border pass, but Song Lianxun is presumptuous and wantonly looting people's wealth. If it weren't for the beggars coming out to rectify the thieves this time, Juming City might not know what the chaos would become. I guess this time Song Lianxun wanted to make a lot of war money, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the beggars, so he came up with this trick 'collusion between officials and thieves'......"

"Although the guards do not speak. But the two of us rushed into the dungeon like this, it was impossible to ......," Canglong analyzed.

"yes, you can't get into the dungeon. I can't find any evidence, and the top priority is to find a way to get in......" Hu Yidi also pondered a little.

"The key is the costume of the two of us, one is wearing a mask, the other is covered in knives, neither like a person from the government, nor like a prisoner, how can we get in?" Canglong followed again......

is between the two of them with sad faces. Suddenly, from the side of the entrance to the dungeon prison, several familiar figures slowly walked over. Looks like you're going to enter a dungeon......

Canglong was the first to notice, and couldn't help but say to Hu Yidi beside him: "Hey, look, aren't those people disciples of the Beggar Gang?"

"It seems like yes. What are they doing here......" Hu Yidi also looked over. muttered.

Indeed, the person who came was the disciple of the beggar gang. At the same time, in front of them, there were several men who had been escorted by them - these people were dressed in tatters, like the robber outfits of wolf bèi. It is clear that the disciples of these beggars have come to escort the thieves to the official palace.

Canglong also seemed to see this, and told Hu Yidi about it. Hu Yidi nodded, and then watched as the disciples of the beggar gang escorted the robbers into the dungeon. Then after a while, he came out of prison again. During the process, they only spoke a few words to the guards at the prison gate, and there were no complicated procedures.

Hu Yidi saw it and suddenly thought: "By the way, if the two of us also escort one or two thieves over, maybe we can blend in and successfully enter the dungeon...... However, now it's just the two of us, where are we going to find the thieves? The few we caught before let you go, Brother Canglong, ......."

Speaking of this, Canglong looked at Hu Yidi carefully, and then smiled lightly.

Hu Yidi turned around and saw Canglong's different eyes, and said with a strange expression: "What are you going to do?"

"Hmph, don't be nervous, I have an idea......" Canglong said with a rare "sneer......

The entrance to the dungeon is in a relatively remote place, which corresponds to the wind outlet. In recent days, it has snowed in Juming City, and there is a cold wind blowing from time to time, and the guards at the entrance of the dungeon have been standing for a long time, and they will shiver from time to time......

Not long after, on the side of the prison door, a masked man in green clothes escorted a thief-like figure who seemed to have been caught, and slowly walked towards the prison door. Don't look at it, the man in green clothes wearing a mask is Canglong.

"Just sent away a batch, another one?" the guard at the door couldn't help but complain when he saw Canglong and the prisoners escorted.

"Whatever, if you go in anyway, you'll be out when the time comes......" Another guard followed.

"Shhh......hh

Canglong escorted the prisoner to the door of the prison, apparently to send the escorted prisoner to the dungeon.

"Stop-" The guard in front of the door naturally stopped Canglong, so he carried his weapon and asked, "Who is coming?"

Canglong said unhurriedly: "This official master, on the order of the leader of the beggar gang Ge Weige, he specially escorted the outskirts of the city to be a thief and sent back to the dungeon of the official mansion, won't the two officials approve it?"

"Approval is approval, but ...... Are you really a member of the beggar gang, and you still have an inexplicable iron mask?" the guard said suspiciously when he saw the mask on Canglong's face.

"Zai Xia is not a member of the Beggar Gang, but he has a deep relationship with the Ge Gang Master......" Canglong said unhurriedly, "Why, if you are not a member of the Beggar Gang, can't you help the government and the Ge Gang Leader escort the prisoners?"

The other guard looked at Canglong's mask, as if he remembered, and then leaned into the ear of the guard just now and said, "Hey, I remember, I heard that the Canglong hero has recently reappeared in this area, and he has been wearing an iron mask on his face." This man said that he had a deep relationship with the leader of the beggar gang, maybe it was ......"

The guard listened and nodded silently. Then, the two of them straightened up again and said with a smile: "Of course...... Of course, please give the prisoner you are escorting to the warden below, and then come out—" As they spoke, the two of them made a gesture of "please come in" to Canglong.

"Then thank you two officials...... Canglong said politely, and then escorted the prisoner into the dungeon......

The dungeon of the government is extremely dark, and it takes several stairs to see the faintly lit torches. And now it's the cold winter season, and the dampness in the dungeon is constant, and the endless cold is even more unbearable than the cold wind that rises outside the gate......

Canglong escorted the prisoner in his hand, descending the stairs step by step, and he had not yet seen the so-called chief jailer.

"Really, why do you want me to pretend to be a prisoner?" The prisoner who was escorted by Canglong was none other than Hu Yidi in disguise. Of course, it wasn't so much a disguise, but Hu Yidi just changed out of the clothes with hanging knives outside, so that it didn't seem to make the jailers suspicious.

Canglong smiled and said softly: "What's the solution, my mask can't be taken off, if I pretend to be a prisoner, I can't say that robbers have to wear a mask when they go to prison, right?

"Hmph, the clothes on my outside, the hanging knives on it, including large knives and sharp knives, a total of eighty-three, are all my treasures. Later, you go out and watch, and you lose one, and I can ask you—" Hu Yidi said, still thinking about the hanging knives he had taken off with his coat.

"I know, I know—you, if you enter this dungeon, you can keep an eye on me, and when the time comes, let the jailers recognize you as an undercover agent, I can't help you......," Canglong teasingly reminded.

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about this, I'll have my own opinions when the time comes. You just need to take a good look at my clothes and knife outside, and wait quietly for my news......" Hu Yidi also said "not to be outdone......

A few more flights of stairs were descended, and the light below grew brighter and brighter, and after a short time I heard the commotion of all the prisoners inside—the noise of all the prisoners in the prison.

When I finished walking, I saw all the scenes in the prison - although Juming City was only a small city in the border area, the dungeons of the government were open enough, but the scale of the prisons in some big cities was also on par with the scale of the prisons in some big cities. Among them, there is the largest cell, which can hold nearly a hundred people, and several robbers who were escorted by the beggars disciples just now are being escorted into that room by the jailers. It can be guessed that that room is likely to be dedicated to the thieves who are dedicated to holding the beggars' disciples to 'help' the government to arrest.

"Are you new here?" asked the man who looked to be the head of the jailer sitting in a place stood up and carried a knife.

When Canglong saw it, he only responded: "This lord, on the orders of the leader of the beggar gang Ge Weige, I specially escorted the prisoners on the outskirts of the city here, and please listen to the fate of the lord-"

When the chief jailer heard this, he showed a look of contempt that didn't care. He buckled the knife on the table, and then said in a contemptuous tone: "Wait, when the group of prisoners just now enters, someone will take him over-" After speaking, the jailer chief didn't look at Canglong and Hu Yidi, and tossed the small ornaments on his body alone.

"Huh?" Canglong seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly whispered.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the jailer didn't pay attention to the two of them, Hu Yidi asked softly.

"It's Yang Jinkang and Lu Gongsheng......, the five bags of disciples of the beggar gang," Canglong said softly as he stared at the two prisoners who had been put in the cell by the jailer just now.

"What are you talking about, they are disciples of the beggar gang, why do they ......" Hu Yidi whispered again.

Canglong seemed to know something, and chuckled: "Hmph, it seems that the people of the beggar gang are one step ahead of us earlier...... I'm afraid that the people of the beggar gang are also like us, and they are also beginning to suspect the collusion of officials and thieves, so they sent their disciples to the prison side to go undercover first...... In short, it's not a bad thing that the people from the beggar gang are also here, and you can be locked up with them later, Brother Hu, maybe it will be easier for you to figure things out......"

"What are you muttering?" At this time, the head jailer suddenly said to Canglong and Hu Yidi, "What are you still standing for, it's your turn!" The head jailer said in a very unceremonious tone.

"I see, my lord—" Canglong replied as he came back to his senses, "Then this 'prisoner' will be handed over to your lordship, and I will retire first......

After speaking, Canglong gently pushed Hu Yidi and cast a suggestive look. After Hu Yidi was detained by the other two jailers, he also glanced back at Canglong with a smile...... (To be continued......)
