The night gradually deepened, and the noise of Youzhou City gradually became quiet in the darkness.
Mrs. Jia still insisted on kneeling.
After a while, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong came out.
They are going out shopping.
When they saw Mrs. Jia, they couldn't help but stop.
Ouyang Linlin looked at Mrs. Jia curiously and asked softly: "Mrs. Why are you kneeling here? It's so dark."
Then he looked at the two soldiers guarding the gate. The two soldiers felt helpless and had to shake their heads.
Mrs. Jia raised her head, with a hint of firmness and expectation in her eyes.
She replied hoarsely: "I'm waiting for the Prime Minister, I must see him."
Ouyang Linlin looked puzzled: "Why do you have to see him?"
Mrs. Jia took a deep breath and began to tell her own affairs.
Only then did Ouyang Linlin realize that she was Jia Xu's wife.
Xiaohong said softly: "Madam, it's not a solution for you to kneel like this. Why don't we get up with you first and think of other ways to meet the Prime Minister."
Mrs. Jia shook her head and said firmly: "No, I can't get up. I will keep kneeling unless I see the Prime Minister."
Ouyang Linlin looked at Mrs. Jia helplessly, and secretly sighed in her persistence.
Of course she also understood what Mrs. Jia meant when she saw Xi Yu.
And if Xi Yu is determined to disappear, then it is useless for her to kneel like this.
Xiaohong felt a little pitiful when she saw her like this, but she still pulled Ouyang Linlin's clothes.
"Miss, let's go shopping, don't worry about the matter here."
Ouyang Linlin sighed and finally went shopping with Xiaohong.
The two soldiers walked forward and whispered: "Madam, you should get up quickly. You will be unable to bear it when you kneel down like this."
Mrs. Jia didn't raise her head and answered very firmly.
"I must meet the Prime Minister, and I will not get up until I see him."
The two soldiers looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and stopped talking.
At the same time, Xi Yu was having supper with Xi Shi.
At this time, a soldier hurried over and reported to Xi Yu.
"Prime Minister, Mrs. Jia is still kneeling there and refuses to get up."
When Xi Yu heard this, he said angrily: "Then let her kneel down."
Upon hearing this, Xi Shi asked curiously: "Husband, why is Mrs. Jia kneeling?"
Xi Yu frowned and sighed, "Oh, she came for Jia Xu's business. That guy Jia Xu really bothered me."
Xi Yu told the truth.
Only then did Xi Shi realize that Xi Yu was sad about this matter. No wonder he was very angry when he brought the lotus seed soup.
So she also briefly persuaded her.
"Don't worry, you don't need to comfort me anymore. I already know what to do. I must insist on handling it in accordance with national laws."
In the inn, there were loud voices and smoke.
The killer was still sitting quietly in the corner, and his figure seemed even more mysterious.
Many guests walked into the inn one after another, and the noise came one after another, but the killer sat motionlessly, as if incompatible with everything around him.
The waiter was busy shuttled between the table and chairs, and glanced at the killer from time to time.
Finally, he couldn't help but secretly say to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, look at that person, he has been sitting there since he came in, which is very strange."
The shopkeeper looked at the waiter's gaze, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
He whispered: "Don't provoke such people, we can't afford to offend them. As long as he gives money, don't worry too much."
The waiter nodded and asked curiously: "What if he doesn't pay in the end?"
The shopkeeper was silent for a moment, then said helplessly: "Even if you don't give the money, let him go. Haven't you seen the sword on his waist? We can't afford to offend such a person."
The waiter nodded.
The killer sat in the corner like a silent sculpture.
The name of this killer is Lei Tiangui. His ancestors have been killers for generations. And they have been passed down for many years and have never been lost.
An hour passed, and he finally stood up and paid.
The waiter kept paying attention to him and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him leave.
However, the waiter's curiosity was aroused by the fact that he tried to see Lei Tiangui clearly before leaving.
Just as the waiter was peeping at him, Lei Tiangui instantly noticed his actions.
He quickly placed the sword on the waiter's neck, and the cold blade emitted a terrifying light.
Lei Tiangui's voice was low and cold.
"what you up to?"
The waiter was so scared that his face was pale and said tremblingly: "Big...hero, the villain is just curious, no...hero means nothing else, please spare your life!"
Lei Tiangui sneered.
"Curiosity can kill people. Remember, don't look at things that shouldn't be watched."
The waiter nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, yes, the villain remembers it, and never dares again. Xie Daxia's grace is for not killing him."
Lei Tiangui put away his sword, turned around coldly and left, disappearing into the darkness.
The waiter stood there, touched his neck, feeling still scared.
Lei Tiangui came to the county government office.
Everything was silent, and it was pitch black near the county government, with only a few faint lanterns shaking in the wind.
Killer Leigh Tiangui lurked quietly in the dark, his eyes swept around with alertness.
His heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he thought to himself: "It's tonight, and you must hit it with one blow." Years of experience made him full of confidence, and the glory of the family burned in his heart.
But tonight, he was not killing people but saving people.
But what is needed is also accurate.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the surroundings became completely quiet.
Lei Tiangui took a deep breath, his body was as strong and agile as a cheetah. He came to the wall of the county government after several ups and downs.
He used his hands and feet together, climbed over the high wall easily like a gecko, and fell silently into the county munition.
In the courtyard of the county yamen, the night wind blew gently and the leaves rustled.
Lei Tiangui was raising his waist and his steps were light, as if he was integrated with the night.
He now needs to find out where the dungeon is.
Late at night, the county munition was silent, and only the faint moonlight illuminated the bluestone road.
Lei Tiangui hid in the darkness and observed the surroundings vigilantly.
He saw two patrol soldiers in front of him, and he felt moved, thinking that he could inquire about some situation from them.
So he approached quietly, like a ghost.
The two soldiers suddenly felt a chill coming, turned around suddenly, but saw Lei Tiangui coming to them.
The two were startled and were about to shout. A cold light flashed, and Lei Tiangui's sword was placed on one of the soldiers' necks.
Lei Tiangui said coldly: "It's better to be honest, otherwise I will kill you."
The soldiers looked at him in horror, their bodies trembled constantly, and they were so scared that they dared not speak.
Lei Tiangui couldn't help but laugh contemptuously in his heart.
He thought: "I didn't expect that they were so pussy, it was really vulnerable."
He continued to ask, "I'll ask you, where is the dungeon?"
The soldiers stammered: "In the backyard of the county government."
Lei Tiangui put away his sword and said coldly: "Take me there."
The two soldiers trembled and led the way in front.
Lei Tiangui followed behind.
The two soldiers finally took Lei Tiangui to the entrance of the dungeon, with fear in their trembling voices.
"It's this, hero, go in by yourself." The soldiers lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly into Lei Tiangui's eyes.
Lei Tiangui's eyes were cold, and he thought to himself: "How can I let them go back? If they inform me, wouldn't it ruin my big deal?"
So he suddenly took action and the dagger passed by like lightning.
Before the two soldiers could react, they had already fallen into a pool of blood.
When they died, their eyes were wide open, and their faces were filled with astonishment and reluctance.
They never expected that even if they told the truth, the other party would ruthlessly kill them.
Lei Tiangui looked at their bodies and said coldly: "This is your destiny."
The entrance of the dungeon was filled with a strong smell of blood, and it seemed that countless pairs of eyes were watching all this in the darkness.
Lei Tiangui stepped into the dungeon without any hesitation and continued his mission.
The dungeon was filled with a smell of dampness and decay, and the torches on the walls were flashing with faint light, illuminating the way Lei Tiangui was moving forward.
As soon as he walked into the dungeon, he heard the jailer's voice: "Who is it!"
Immediately afterwards, several figures quickly chased after them.
Lei Tiangui quickly turned sideways, and the short sword in his hand came out of the hole like a poisonous snake, instantly dealing with the prison guard rushing in front.
He temporarily left a living mouth, and a cold voice sounded: "Which cell is Jia Xu in?"
The jailer trembled and pointed in one direction, and walked towards Lei Tiangui.
The atmosphere was tense and depressing.
When they came to Jia Xu's prison door, Lei Tiangui took action without hesitation. The short sword passed by, and the prisoner's life quietly disappeared.
In the prison cell, Jia Xu sat quietly in the corner, looking at Lei Tiangui in surprise.
Jia Xu looked at the killer in front of him, his heart full of doubts.
He asked, "What are you asking for me? Are you going to kill me to silence me? There is no need."
Lei Tiangui replied firmly: "I want to rescue you."
Jia Xu was even more puzzled.
"We have never known each other, why do you want to save me?"
Lei Tiangui's tone was tough.
"You must be saved, no need to ask any more." After that, he cut off the prison door with a sword.
At this time, the sinners in other cells started to stir up and shouted, "Save us too!"
The noise echoed throughout the dungeon, and the atmosphere became tense and chaotic.
Lei Tiangui ignored their shouts and his eyes were always on Jia Xu.
Others continued to shout.
Lei Tiangui said, "Call me again, I'll kill you now."
Everyone was so scared that they didn't dare to shout again.
A trace of enlightenment flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
I guessed what was going on. I guess it was Xi Yu who came to save him.
Jia Xu smiled.
Xi Yu locked me up on the surface and then sent someone to rescue me, creating the illusion of jailbreak.
Xi Yu's trick is really clever.
Jia Xu then thought, but he would definitely not be able to return to him.
He will definitely arrange a new place for himself.
So in this case, he is willing to follow the other party to leave.
And outsiders don’t know what happened in the entire county government.
As for Wang Liang, he is already asleep now.
That night, the moonlight was like water, quietly sprinkling in the room.
Wu Guotai and Sun Shangxiang sat in front of the window and continued their chat.
"Mother, please tell me about the things on the road." Sun Shangxiang said softly.
Wu Guotai smiled, with gentle eyes, "Okay, let me think about it, I have experienced a lot along the way."
Sun Shangxiang leaned against her mother and listened quietly.
"We met that thief..." Wu Guotai recalled.
"Then you must be very scared, mother." Sun Shangxiang held Wu Guotai's hand.
"I'm not afraid,..." Wu Guo smiled too much.
The night gradually became deeper and the candlelight in the room swayed slightly.
"Are you sleepy, Xiang'er?" Wu Guotai asked.
"There is one thing, mother. But I still want to hear your story." Sun Shangxiang's eyes were a little confused.
"Then go to bed and talk about it tomorrow." Wu Guotai patted Sun Shangxiang's hand gently.
Sun Shangxiang nodded and lay on the bed.
Wu Guotai covered her with a quilt and then lay beside her.
The room was quiet, with only the slight breathing of the mother and daughter.
Outside the window, a bright moon hangs high, illuminating the whole night.
The next day, the early morning sun shone on the ground through the windows, illuminating the room.
The soldiers who went to Jiangnan to report the news hurried back, with a hint of fatigue on his face.
"Report to the Prime Minister, the young man has told Sun Ce the actual situation." The soldier said.
Xi Yu nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work, you can go down and rest first."
At this time, another soldier hurried over.
"Master Prime Minister, it's not good! Mrs. Jia is lying at the gate!"
Xi Yu frowned.
"What's going on?"
The soldier replied: "She was sleepy, tired and hungry last night, so she fainted."
Xi Yu sighed helplessly.
"Hurry up and get someone in, it won't have a good impact."
He immediately sent several soldiers to carry Mrs. Jia into the mansion and arrange it to the guest room.
Xi Yu asked someone to call Song Shuwen.
After a while, Song Shuwen came to his room.
Xi Yu said to Song Shuwen: "You go and see Mrs. Jia's condition and give her some treatment."
Song Shuwen answered respectfully: "Yes, sir."
Shortly after Song Shuwen used his medical skills, Mrs. Jia slowly opened her eyes.
Mrs. Jia looked around and realized that she was in the guest room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She whispered to the soldiers guarding the side, "I want to see the Prime Minister."
The soldier looked at her coldly and replied impatiently: "Don't die this heart."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Mrs. Jia's eyes.
The soldier sneered.
"The Prime Minister doesn't have time to see you."
When Song Shuwen saw that he had successfully treated him, he had to leave.
Mrs. Jia got up and wanted to leave.
She was going to meet Xi Yu, but Song Shuwen turned around and told her that it would be better not to act rashly.
Because she is not suitable for large-scale activities now, she must have a good rest.
But Mrs. Jia was very persistent and had to go through.
"If you don't obey, I can't save you. I won't come to save you again."
Mrs. Jia had no choice but to cry.
After Wang Liang got up today, a yamen runner suddenly came to report that something happened in the prison cell.
"What happened? Tell the county magistrate quickly?"
The servants told the relevant situation. The prison guard died, and two patrol soldiers also died.
So Wang Liang hurried to check the scene, and the smell of blood in the air was still strong.
He came to the prison and found that Jia Xu had left and was rescued.
Several criminals also told about the scene that happened last night.
Then he roughly described Lei Tiangui's appearance.
"It's simply outrageous. Such a thing actually happened!"
Wang Liang felt that his interest was too bad.
He decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.
At this time, a yamen runner said, "Sir, I think something is wrong."
"What do you mean?"
"I think it must be the Prime Minister who sent someone to rob the prison."
Wang Liang was shocked.
"What does this mean? Don't talk nonsense."
But the yamen runner said, "I believe the adults know this when the young man said this. On the surface, the Prime Minister could not say that he let Jia Xu go, so he wrote this trick behind his back."
Wang Liang felt very uncomfortable because he felt that what the yamen runners said might be true.
Could it be that the Prime Minister really did this?
It shouldn't be.
The Prime Minister is a good person, and everyone is satisfied.
But……
As the saying goes, knowing people but not your heart.
The yamen runner said, "Sir, the younger ones are also nonsense."
Wang Liang listened to the yamen runner's explanation and nodded on the surface to express his understanding, but his heart was ups and downs.
He thought to himself: "Although the yamen runners are talking nonsense, why do I think there seems to be some reason for this?"
A trace of doubt gradually arose in his heart.
"Is it really because I thought it too simple before?"
At this moment, Wang Liang was very confused.
On the one hand, he hoped that the yamen runners would just talk nonsense.
On the other hand, he could not completely abandon that strange feeling.
If this is true, wouldn’t I offend Ji Yu?
He forced Yu to the top of a storm.
The forced Xi Yu couldn't step down.
Wang Liang slowly walked into the study, sat tiredly on the chair, muttering to himself: "I need to calm down."
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, trying to calm his chaotic thoughts.
"Why is this happening?" he asked himself in his heart, "I originally planned to tell the Prime Minister about this matter and seek his opinion. But now, there seems to be no need for this."
A look of pain appeared on Wang Liang's face. He held his head with both hands and placed his elbows on the table.
In the yard of the county yamen, the runners sat together and whispered.
"This must have been done by Xi Yu!" a yamen runner said angrily.
"That's right? I didn't expect that he could do such a thing as he was so insidious and cunning." Another yamen runner agreed.
"It's really disappointing. I thought he was an upright person." Another yamen runner sighed.
In the corner of the yard, an ancient tree stood quietly, as if silently witnessing all this.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. We can't solve these problems," said a yamen runner.
Chapter completed!
