Chapter 146: Wei County Saves People (1)
Just as dawn the next day, Li Yanqing and Yue Fei came back from running steaming. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the inn, Wang Gui ran out in a panic, "The master is back!"
Seeing that Wang Gui looked nervous, Li Yanqing asked, "What happened?"
Wang Gui stepped forward and whispered a few times. Li Yanqing and Yue Fei were both surprised and ran into the inn together.
As soon as they walked to the door, a strong smell of medicine and bloody smell came to their faces. The door was not closed. Master Zhou Tong was lying on the bed, naked, and a doctor was changing his medicine.
At this time, the doctor heard the footsteps and turned around and closed the door, "You wait and come in!"
Li Yanqing's eyes were sharp. At the moment when the doctor closed the door, he saw at least three wounds on the master's back, all of which were black and purple and black, with pus and blood flowing. He couldn't help but be secretly surprised. What happened to the master?
"Did the master tell you what he said after he came back?" Li Yanqing turned around and asked Wang Gui.
Wang Gui shook his head, "The master said nothing, he just asked if you were in Anyang. It seemed that there was something to come to you. The doctor or the inn shopkeeper went to invite him."
Li Yanqing could only wait anxiously in the yard. He thought to himself. Seeing that Wu Jieshi was about to be tested, the master hurried to Daming Mansion. What big thing should have happened to Daming Mansion? It must be Lu Junyi's accident, but even if Lu Junyi had an accident, it had nothing to do with him. What did the master rush to do with him? Could it be?

Uncle Hu.
Li Yanqing suddenly felt a sense of badness in his heart, and Song Jiang was probably unwilling to let Uncle Hu go.
After waiting for about half an hour, the door finally opened. The exhausted doctor walked out and asked, "Who is Li Yanqing?"
Li Yanqing quickly raised his hand and the doctor said to him: "Master Zhou asked you to go in alone, and the others would prepare for the martial arts."
"How is the master's injury?" Yue Fei asked anxiously.
"The injury is not serious, but I will have to stay in bed for at least ten days and half a month. I will come to change the dressing tomorrow."
Li Yanqing pushed the door and entered the room. The bloody smell in the room had faded a lot, with only a strong smell of medicine. Zhou Tong was still lying on the bed, covering his body with a thick bedding.
Li Yanqing walked to Zhou Tong and saw the master close his eyes and pondering. He sat down on the chair next to him, not daring to disturb his thoughts. After a while, Zhou Tong sighed and said, "This world is really beyond help. It's good to sit at home, but it will cause disasters to come from the sky. Yanqing, do you know who I am talking about?"
"The master is talking about Lu Junyi!"
"You are smart, you can win it at once!"
Zhou Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Yan Qing ran to Tangyin County to find me before and said that his adoptive father was arrested by the government. I rushed to Daming Mansion and found that the Lu family had been destroyed."
"Why is this?" Li Yanqing asked in shock.
"It's incredible to say that when Wang Jing, the governor of Yunzhou, found a list of Liangshan bandits when he was surrounding several Liangshan bandits, including Lu Junyi, Daming Prefecture, Hebei and Hu Sheng, Hu in Nanle Town. Wang Jing reported this list to Yang Jian, who was plundering people's wealth on the West Road of Jing. Yang Jian was furious and sent someone to arrest the two of them."
Although it sounds a bit incredible, Li Yanqing is not surprised. He had guessed it before. It turned out that Song Jiang was forcing Lu Junyi and Uncle Hu to join. Moreover, since Song Jiang knew that Hu Sheng lived in Nanle Town, it means that Hu Sheng still had contact with Song Jiang.
"Uncle Hu was also caught?"
Zhou Tong nodded, "He was not prepared at all, how could he escape? I rushed to the prison camp in the night to save two people, but ended up in ambush and hit three arrows. Fortunately, I was strong and I escaped."
"Where is Lu Junyi and Uncle Hu?" Li Yanqing asked.
"I heard from Yan Qing that they have been escorted to Yunzhou. I don't care whether they are dead or alive."
Speaking of this, Zhou Tong gritted his teeth and said hatred: "I know Song Jiang will save them in Yunzhou, but this person is cruel. He just tries every means to recruit people, but he doesn't care what other people's parents, wives and children will do. Lu Junyi's brother, son and nephew were sentenced to exile and exile, and his family's wealth was confiscated."
"Where is Uncle Hu's mother and daughter?"
"I heard that I was arrested, so I didn't find out what to do."
Li Yanqing suddenly became a little anxious. Aunt Hu and Xiao Qing'er were actually arrested. If they were sentenced to exile and exile, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I'll go to Daming Mansion now!"
Li Yanqing was anxious and stood up and was about to leave.
"You wait!"
Zhou Tong grabbed him, and the wound was pulled, and there was a sudden burst of pain. He endured the pain and said to Li Yanqing with difficulty: "Hu Cheng's old mother and daughter were locked up in the prison camp in Wei County. They are not in Yuancheng. Don't go to the wrong place. Also, don't force yourself to break into the prison camp. You will be caught. If you have fame and fortune, the consequences will be too serious."
Li Yanqing calmed down and nodded, "Don't worry, master, I won't put myself in danger!"
Li Yanqing quickly walked out of the room, and Yue Fei and the other two immediately surrounded him and asked anxiously: "What happened?"
"What happened to Lu Junyi. The master tried to save him but failed. He suffered a little bit of skin injury. The situation should not be serious."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Yanqing said again: "I also want to go to Daming Mansion to help the master inquire about the news and come back in a few days."
Wang Gui was really worried, so he pulled Li Yanqing aside and whispered: "I finally passed the Jieyuan exam, don't do stupid things!"
Li Yanqing knocked on the head, "You disappointed me if you say this. I, Li Yanqing, still don't know me after so many years of friendship. I, Li Yanqing, can do stupid things?"
He told Yue Fei and the other two to say a few more words, then returned to the room, cleaned up a little, and rode away from Anyang County, and ran towards Daming Mansion.

Two days later, Li Yanqing arrived in Wei County, Daming Prefecture. The master told him that all the criminals in the Lu Junyi case were detained in the Wei County Prison Camp, where should he start?
Li Yanqing found an inn in an alley opposite the county government office. When he was having tea at noon, he looked for an opportunity to ask the inn shopkeeper, "I have a relative in the county prison camp. I want to know his current situation. Is there any way?"
The inn shopkeeper gave a thumbs up and praised: "The little official is smart! He can find an inn. I really don't know what other inns should do like this? I'll introduce a tooth to the little official, and he will help you solve any problems."
The inn shopkeeper introduced the tooth man was a thin man in his thirties, with a small nose and small eyes, and a pair of distinctive big buck teeth, giving people a feeling of being unable to stop.
Yaren smiled and introduced himself to Li Yanqing: "The villain's surname is Liu, and the little official can call me Liu San. If there is anything wrong with the prison camp, the villain will help you."
Li Yanqing asked: "Lu Junyi's family is detained in the Wei County Prison Camp!"
Liu San's face changed and he lowered his voice: "Who is the little official from the Lu family? This is a big case. If you just ask, you can do it, but don't think about saving people."
"I just asked, actually I wanted to ask Hu Sheng's family."
Liu San stretched out five fingers, "Five stakes of money, I can arrange for a small official to visit the camp. I want to ask what the situation is for free."
Li Yanqing took out a ingot of five taels of silver and smiled and said, "You go and arrange it! After you arrange this ingot of silver, it will belong to you."
Liu San's eyes lit up, and he didn't say a word and immediately got up and left.
Half an hour later, Liu San found Li Yanqing again, "I have arranged the camp to explore. If you want to go, go with me now. However, the little official came one day late. The Lu family was escorted to Yongzhou yesterday. Hu Sheng's family was still there. Because the old lady was no longer able to do so, the case was handled separately."
Li Yanqing had just breathed a sigh of relief, but was heartbroken by Liu San's last words. Aunt Hu was almost out of reach, what about Qing'er?
He bought some food and followed Liu San to the prison camp. The prison camp was a prison. The Song Dynasty was managed by the army, but not every county had a prison camp. There were two prison camps in Daming Prefecture, one in Yuancheng County and the other in Wei County.
The prison camp in Wei County is located in Dongcheng, divided into men's camp and women's camp. The conditions of the women's camp are slightly better, but they are also dark and humid, and there is a stench in the dungeon.
A prisoner took Li Yanqing to a cell and shouted in a bad voice: "Old Hu, someone is coming to see you."
There was a faint oil lamp in the cell, and the light was very dim. Li Yanqing still recognized Aunt Hu lying in the corner at a glance. She was thin and stared at the dark roof with her eyes blankly. Her body was obviously collapsed. She was leaning against a little girl in her arms. Although she couldn't see clearly, she should be Qing'er.
Li Yanqing stuffed a piece of silver to the prison, "I want to go in and talk to them!"
The prisoner weighed the money and opened the prison door with a 'sudden sound.
Li Yanqing quickly walked into the cell. The little lady was so scared that she hurried into her grandmother's arms, "Grandma, someone is coming in."
"It's a ghost... I'm here to arrest me!" Aunt Hu's breath was very weak and she was already dying.
Li Yanqing's nose was a little sore, so he squatted down and said, "Don't the aunt know me anymore? I am Qing'er from Li Wencun!"
"You are a life-seeking ghost, spare me..." Aunt Hu looked at Li Yanqing in extreme fear and shouted sharply.
Aunt Hu suddenly thrust his body, twitched all over, and foam came out of his mouth. Xiaoqing was so scared that she threw herself on the ancestor's body and cried loudly.
The prisoner outside said, "Little official, it's useless. The old woman lost her heart and went crazy not long after she came in. She said that she killed too many people when she was young, and her enemies turned into ghosts to seek life."
Li Yanqing looked at it silently for a moment. The fear in Aunt Hu's eyes made him frightened. He had to shake his head, turn around and leave. As soon as he walked to the door, Aunt Hu's humble shout suddenly came from behind: "Qing'er!"
Li Yanqing suddenly turned around and squatted in front of Aunt Hu, "Auntie, I am Qing'er, have you remembered it?"
