"Knock-knock! knock! The cold wave is coming, go out and add clothes ......"

A slow and fast gong sound, accompanied by a long tone, came from far away from the street.

A soldier guarding outside the prison took a breath of heat, rubbed his cold hands, stretched his stiff and sore waist slightly, and complained helplessly: "It's finally the fifth watch, this kind of ghost weather is really fucking sinful." ”

Since the beginning of winter, the temperature difference between day and night has been extremely large, and the north wind blows in the partial night, which is as strong as a burst, and the cold penetrates the bones.

"Yes...... Can...... Hello...... Hello...... Ha...... Sneered...... "The cold wind hit, and the companion who was talking next to him sneezed three times in a row before he stopped, wiped his nose with his sleeve, pulled his thin clothes tightly, and sighed, "Isn't it, if it weren't for the suspect in the Ezhou Branch Murder Tragedy being held here, how comfortable it would be to hug your mother-in-law in the hot quilt at such a time." Alas, I don't know how long these hard days will last. ”

"It's hard to say. It's been three days, and if you don't go to court for interrogation, and if you don't investigate and collect evidence, no one can guess what is going on above. Just looking at this vigilant formation, those people must be not small, and things are probably quite tricky. After a pause, the soldier who spoke first said in confusion, "It's also strange that the Golden Lion Dart Bureau has happened, and no one has come to ask about it." ”

"I heard some news outside yesterday that it was 'Di Ren, the head of the Golden Lion Dart Bureau, who committed a murder and was put on death row'. It is estimated that the dart bureau will be in chaos, where can I take care of the affairs of the Ezhou Branch. I also heard the man say, 'If the Golden Lion Dart Game falls, the Dart Game Alliance is estimated to be dispersed, and I am afraid that there will be no peaceful days for merchants to sell goods in the future', and the words were very polite. ”

"According to what you say, could it be that the elderly suspect is actually the head of President Di's dart? The case of the Ezhou Branch was actually committed by him?...... Hey, no, if it was really Mr. Di's dart head locked inside, it would be impossible for the Golden Lion Dart Bureau to have no movement at all. I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out......"

The soldier hesitated for a moment, and then turned his back to a burly man standing like a pine five or six feet away, and said, "Song Zhutou, what is going on, you should say a few words to the brothers." ”

"It's not necessarily a bad thing to ask less about some things. You two don't have to speculate and chew on the root of your tongue, just do your part, if something goes wrong, you and I can't afford it. The headcatcher surnamed Song turned around and admonished.

At this moment, the iron door of the prison corridor opened from the inside, and the fat jailer staggered towards the big iron gate with two wine jars, and the old jailer supported him with one hand and a lantern in the other, and followed behind with his head down.

Song Zhutou frowned and said, "Old Hu, where are you going?" ”

"Aha, Song Zhutou, I guessed that you are still on duty tonight, and the brothers have suffered a lot in the past few days. Tonight the wind is really evil, I listened to it in a panic, thinking that the brothers were working hard outside the vigil, and the fifth watch was also a time of fatigue and sleepiness, and there was still some old wine in the prison, which was specially brought to protect you from the cold. I beg you to open the door, so that I may divide the wine among the brethren. ”

"It won't take long for the guard to change, and if you want to drink, you don't have to rush at this time, the responsibility is on your shoulders, so forget it. Song Zhutou said.

"Song Zhutou is honest and loyal, and Lao Hu has always admired him. If it is freezing today, it doesn't matter if you are strong in martial arts, these two brothers are only afraid that they will fall ill if they can't survive most of them. ”

Song Zhutou looked at the two trembling subordinates, frowned, and said, "One person can drink two sips, don't be greedy." He took the jar and warmed the body of the brothers who were nearby. ”

The two soldiers were overjoyed, and did not wait to open the door, but hurriedly reached out through the gap between the iron bars to snatch the wine jar from the fat jailer's hand.

The fat jailer reluctantly gave the wine to the two soldiers, and said, "Song Zhutou, take a step to speak." ”

"Lao Hu, you have a lot of things to do today, if you have something to say, talk about it quickly, and let it go quickly. ”

"I just overheard the conversation of the five people on death row and discovered a very important secret. The fat jailer looked around for a moment, pretending to lower his voice mysteriously.

Song Zhutou hurriedly walked two steps to the iron gate and asked, "What is the secret?"

"The secret is that we want to leave this place, so please make it convenient for Song Zhutou. The old jailer slowly raised his head, and a pair of eyes as deep as the night sky appeared on his resolute and handsome face.

Song Zhutou was shocked and wanted to retreat, but he found that the vein in his right hand had been buckled by the other party's lightning, and half of his body was numb.

......

The sound of hurried footsteps shattered the silence of the night.

In the shadow of the flowing and jumping firelight, Lei Fang and twenty or thirty heavily armed officers and soldiers were hurrying through the courtyard to the dungeon.

Two days ago, the old man in the black robe came to him once, took away all the white jade wolf carvings, unicorn knives, red flame sticks and other things handed over by the ponies, and instructed him not to let the five ponies leave alive, and left a silver ticket of 50,000 taels at the end.

Lei Fang naturally understands that if you get the money quickly, things must be done quickly, and once there is a mistake, it is not as simple as returning the money.

Although he didn't know how powerful the ponies were, he could guess a little bit from the importance of the Phantom Hall and the face value of the silver ticket. He seconded manpower from all over the place, set up many checkpoints throughout the inspection department, patrolling day and night, just for fear of poking out the basket and his life would not be saved.

However, the death row was built of granite three feet thick, poured with molten iron, and the prison doors and bars inside were all arm-thick refined steel, which was originally used to deal with the extremely vicious and extraordinary martial arts in the rivers and lakes, which can be described as impregnable. The ponies are unarmed, and even if they have the means, they will never escape. They were imprisoned for a few days, starved or poisoned or lynched, and finally reported to the police on the grounds that they had died of illness.

In prisons, the illegal execution of prisoners in private abounds, and Lei Fang can be regarded as very proficient. However, for some reason, I always felt restless and irritable tonight, and after thinking about it, I finally couldn't rest assured, so I brought more than 20 officers and soldiers over overnight.

"When they arrive in prison later, they will die, so that they will not have many dreams at night. Lei Fang traveled all the way, secretly thinking about himself.

The night is thick like ink, and the moon is hidden and the stars are sinking. It was the darkest time before dawn.

Suddenly, a behemoth came down from the sky with a thunderous roar and roared towards the thunder side.

"Be careful, sir!"

In the midst of the exclamation, the officers and soldiers scattered and fled, and the torches and lanterns made a messy trail of light marks.

"Boom ......"

An earth-shattering bang pierced through the darkness, and the entire inspection department was shaken.

Outside the gate, the stone lion weighing thousands of catties flew in from the top of the gatehouse nearly two zhang high, and fell steadily where Lei Fang was about to pass, smashing the bluestone slab ground more than an inch thick out of a big pit of more than one zhang, and the two soldiers who could not dodge were pressed underneath, only revealing a small half of their bodies, and blood spread along the cracks in the ground. The flying gravel was like a sharp sword and a flying knife, falling on everyone, cutting a gap.

A wisp of warmth slid down his cheeks, and the burning pain made Lei Fang grin. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and finally became convinced that it was not an illusion, but that there was one more person on the stone lion than just now.

A fat, unusually slender monk with an extremely strange look stood on the head of the stone lion and grinned at him.

That smile made Lei Fang's heart furious, and he forced himself to be determined, and shouted: "Where did the wild monk come from, he dared to go to the inspection department to spread the wild, come here, take it for me." ”

The cold light is like snow, and the sword wind breaks through the air.

More than a dozen officers and soldiers danced with steel knives in their hands and shouted and gathered around. The monk's right foot stomped on the lion's body, giving birth to an invisible wind, which shook more than ten people to the ground, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and retreated.

"Poor monk Suoga, this time I came not to provoke trouble, just because my junior brother Bacuo was killed in Hungry Tiger Gang a few days ago, and the murderer was brought back to the Inspection Department by you three days ago, the poor monk has some things to ask to understand, you let them out, Buddhism is merciful, and the poor monk will not embarrass you. ”

Lei Fang sneered: "Ridiculous! Your trespassing into the official yamen is already a serious crime, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers have been killed or injured, and you should be punished according to the law." Don't say that those people are murderers, they have been convicted and imprisoned, that is, they are innocent, and when they enter this inspection department, how can they be seen if you want to. ”

"Hey...... The world is big, in addition to the master, the poor monk is the largest, that is, the palace compound, Shaolin Wudang, the poor monk also comes and goes freely, you are a small inspection department, the poor monk can spit and drown, you have a good face and show me majesty. Annoyed the poor monks, crush your heads, hehe...... Haha......"

"Why should you waste your tongue with a madman, and everyone will rush up to him, dismantle him, and feed him to the dogs. A soldier with a full face raised the steel knife in his hand, and his eyes showed a fierce light.

"Hey, hey, hey...... That's a good idea. As he spoke, Soga's figure flashed again, and there was already an additional person in his right hand, the soldier who had just spoken, and the steel knife had reached his left hand. The strong man of more than 200 catties was lifted in his hand, as if he had twisted a straw.

While gesturing with a steel knife on the soldier's body, he said to himself, "Eight pieces, divide it like this...... No way...... Like this...... The heart will split in half, and it will be a little worse...... Well, that's good, the limbs are intact......"

The soldier was already frightened, his face was like earth, tears and cold sweat flowed, and he wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't speak.

"Look, it's really useless, it's so majestic just now, why will you cry your nose? What? Don't you want to die? Why don't you crawl around the stone lion and learn a few dog barks, and I'll spare you, how about it?"

Seeing the soldier nodding like a chicken pecking rice, Soga threw him down. Seeing him trembling and crawling around on his knees, and learning a few more dog barks, he laughed strangely and said, "Hehe...... It's really like a dog, the poor monk doesn't kill people, but the dog kills. As he spoke, the sword was like lightning, and when the soldier boarded, he was split into eight pieces and scattered on the bluestone slab, which was very tragic.

The officers and soldiers had never seen such a method, the north wind was cold to the bone, but they were all sweating profusely, and they did not dare to move at all.

"Failure, failure...... The third knife is still off the mark, and it is not as pleasant to crush the head as it is to say it. Soga muttered to himself for a while, and then laughed, "I don't know if I can see those people now?" Oh, I heard that they killed thirty-two people, if it is not enough, the poor monk does not mind killing a few more. ”

Suojia's face sank, and his triangular eyes flashed, like a blue wolf, staring at Lei Fang.

Lei Fang's hand holding the knife was already soaked with sweat, he naturally understood the horror of this madman in front of him, and his own people were difficult to fight against him, since he came to seek revenge, it was better to take him to death row according to his words, once he fought with the pony, no matter who died, it was a good thing, of course, if it was all dead, it would be the best.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "The master's magic skills are impressive, the master in order to find out the cause of the death of the junior brother, his heart can be learned, Lei opened the net today, and allowed you to meet those people, but they are strong in martial arts and scheming, in order to avoid extraneous branches, they wronged the master to go to death row with the official, and asked the reason, I don't know what the master wants?"

"It's okay, hurry up and lead the way. ”

Lei Fang only felt that his eyes were empty, and Soga had appeared at his side like a ghost, his hand on his shoulder, and his feet were weak, and he almost fell.
