Xu Mu pondered for a while and said: "Wei Jinxian is really a bad person, and the cell he chose is really discerning. Miss Zhang, how many ways are there to enter the fourth cell?"
Zhang Qingju said: "Enter from the south through the main gate, pass through the crowded prison yamen, the third and fourth entrances are all cells, separated by a 20-foot-high brick wall, and the original corridors have been sealed
, leaving only a small door, which was guarded by people from the Wucha Division and the Police Department respectively.
There is also a way to enter from the north through the Wuchasi gate on Zouma Street. However, the Wuchasi yamen was changed from the original prison cell. The door is strong and the walls are high and thick. There is still a high wall between the fifth and fourth cells, and there is only one.
Pass through the small door and enter the fourth cell, which I sneaked into once a few years ago. There are about ten cubicles on the east and west sides. The cell is low, only about eight feet high, and is separated from the outer wall by a foot-wide corridor.
, soldiers will patrol along the corridor day and night. Because Wuchasi prisoners are generally skilled in martial arts, the cells have been reinforced, especially the cells in the middle on both sides. The doors are made of wrist-thick iron bars.
It seems that there are two locks, and the keys are controlled by the cell head and Wei Jinxian respectively. The walls are more than a foot thick and made of granite. The heavy cell with size A and B in the middle also has wrought iron capitals inlaid on the thick wall, with iron chains.
To lock up prisoners. Also, there are side doors on the east and west walls of the state government yamen and prison yamen to facilitate the passage of state government officials, but they are generally only open during the day. The side doors all lead to the third corridor. Of course.
, the most convenient way is to climb over the wall."
Xu Mu asked again: "How many people are usually on duty in the sentry tower? Do you know how often the shifts are changed? Who is usually responsible for the guards of the prefectural government office and the prison government office? Your father is on guard. Is there anyone close to the head arrester? Is it possible?
Looking for an inconspicuous house in the city?"
Zhang Qingju said: "The sentry tower is extremely narrow and can only accommodate one person on duty. The shift will be changed on time every hour. Wang Ling is responsible for scheduling the watch, that is, the head catcher who just went to the restaurant. My idiot
Although my father has been the prefect of Jiangling for more than five years, he is still suppressed by Chen Yan and other local gangsters. Except for Ji Sheng, who is a close confidant he brought, everyone else basically listens to Chen Yan. There are almost no officials, big or small, in the prefecture.
Those who do not accept benefits from the Chen family. Even Wei Jinxian is nominally under the control of the Provincial Military Inspection Department and the prefect, but in fact he and Chen Yan have been wearing the same pants for a long time. I heard that Chen Yan also promised to be appointed as a criminal officer in his state.
As for the post, I am keeping an eye on my idiot's position. Speaking of guards, those assigned to the state government's yamen are all old, weak, sick and disabled. Ji Sheng's gang of bastards are all cowards, so in name only
Ji Sheng, who is the deputy chief catcher, is almost like a bare-bones man. When a group of people go out, they always come back empty-handed. Instead, they will make some gains when handling cases by themselves. Ji Sheng is very capable. I heard that he has returned to Jiangling Mansion after going out to handle cases.
It’s just that he is greedy and lustful, and he can’t find anyone, so we can’t count on him. As for the empty house, it’s easy to find, my maid is a local, and the old house is empty and uninhabited, but it’s a bit small.”
Xu Mu thought for a while, then told He Qizhou and the others about his plan, asking him to see if there were any loopholes. Xu Mu said that it had been rainy these past few days, and it was approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival. It would already be dark before midnight in the evening, so he should go first.
Three sets of detective cloaks were stolen from the soldier's apartment, one set was worn by himself, and the other two sets were given to He Qizhou and the others.
When the time comes near You, he climbs over the wall and sneaks into the prison yamen. Because there are provincial police officers, state police officers and agents from the Military Police Department, and there are many people coming in and out of the prison, he can pretend to be a provincial police officer and ride in the sentry tower.
When the person on duty changes his shift, he knocks out the person on duty. After changing his shift, he goes to the sentry tower to observe the situation in the military inspection prison.
He Qizhou and Lin Chuan were responsible for secretly pushing a small boat on the upper reaches of Yangzhou Lake to the shore near the barracks as a retreat, and then went to the stables to steal two horses, set a fire, and then deliberately approached Wu on Zouma Street.
Escape near the Chasi Yamen. Waiting for a fire to break out will definitely trigger an ambush from the other side. No matter what the situation is, don’t hesitate. Don’t worry about the two horses. Just retreat south from the boat on Yangzhou Lake and find a way to get back as soon as possible.
The inn returns to the room from the window in the back alley along the street.
Zhang Qingrou helped provide the uninhabited residence for the white scarf thief to hide, and helped guard Zhou Qizhou and others in the inn room to prevent the inn people from discovering that He Qizhou and others had entered and exited the inn.
He Qizhou asked: "I know you are very powerful, and you may not even look down on Long Yin, but can you deal with that old man named Chi Yuan? Should I ask your master for help?"
Xu Mu said: "There are some things you don't understand, and they may be very involved. You can't let my master know about it. You don't have to worry. I'm still a little self-aware. I can't beat Chi Yuan for the time being, but Chi Yuan is very energetic. Long Yin
I'm sure I can't catch him, I'm not very good at guarding in person. Even if the old guy is there, my senior brother should be here. I should have raised some food and escorted it to the dock. I will ask him to help watch it, and he will do it then.
Delay Chi Yuan. After you make a fuss, I can determine where the white scarf thief is being held. Then you can run away on your own. If you lose, don't fight hard, and don't confess easily. Just say you don't have the money.
It's just horse stealing, I will find a way to save you."
"Is it Daxia Lu, one of the Double Swordsmen of Jinling?" Zhang Qingrou began to look envious again.
He Qizhou grinned, pretending to be in pain, showing his white teeth, and said: "If we are captured alive, don't blame me for being unjust if we can't withstand the beating."
Xu Mu flashed to He Qizhou's side in an instant, slapped He Qizhou on the head with one palm, and said, "Let's see if you resist the beating first?"
He Qizhou didn't expect Xu Mu's figure to move so fast. A strong wind had already arrived above his head. He secretly thought something was wrong. He subconsciously hurriedly bent his knees, bent over, turned his head, raised his hand to block it, and raised his right hand above his head. It was just right.
Blocking Xu Mu's right palm, looking at the single palm with slender fingers and white skin, the pressing force seemed to weigh hundreds of kilograms. Qi Zhou, who has been exercising under the waterfall for many years, has long been accustomed to this, but he just felt a slight chest tightness.
But he pretended that he couldn't bear it, sat down on the spot, looked at Xu Mu innocently, and said angrily: "Xu Mu, why are you so unethical, and your own people are attacking you? Look at the thin skin and tender flesh of your hands.
You girl, your ass is whiter than mine, why is your face so dark?"
Xu Mu has basically understood Lin Chuan's ability. He just wanted to confirm whether his judgment on He Qizhou was correct. Although others could not see He Qizhou's true identity, Xu Mu knew that he was right when he made the move. He Qizhou could protect himself.
There's absolutely nothing to worry about. I'm just angry about the guy's harsh words. Just when he was about to kick him away, Lin Chuan said, "Mr. Xu, don't worry, we won't say anything no matter what."
Xu Mu put down his raised right foot and snorted coldly at He Qizhou, who was still sitting on the ground. Zhang Qingrou cast an approving look at Lin Chuan and did not forget to give Qi Zhou a hard look when she turned around.
Seeing that the three of them seemed to be in a group, He Qizhou said: "Hey, you piece of wood, when will it be your turn to make the decision? Listen, follow me at night. If you don't obey me, we won't go."
Lin Chuan just caught Zhang Qingrou's gaze and his face was still a little hot. He just nodded stupidly after hearing Qi Zhou's words. He Qizhou stood up and said seriously: "Xu Mu, I'm warning you, don't do anything again.
You see, my arms are swollen. I have a suggestion. You can steal the cape of the policeman from the prefect's office. The guards there should be more lax and they won't find anything stolen so quickly."
Zhang Qingrou continued: "It makes sense. There are usually eight people on duty in the prefect's Yamen at night, with four people per shift. Two people patrol the alleys outside the prefecture, and two people patrol the corridors inside the prefecture. The four people waiting to change shifts are on duty in the night watch room.
, but they must be either drinking or sleeping. I will quietly stop these four people and steal their cloaks. It will take two hours to change the shift. During this time, almost no one will notice."
Xu Mu said: "The best thing is to take off all the night watch clothes and put them on. He Qizhou, don't forget to bring a veil to cover your face at night. Later, you can go and ask for a window facing the small room."
room in the alley, we will set off at midnight and operate after dark. You first prepare to steal the boat. I will grab my clothes and cloak and come to the boat to find you. Also, put an inch of thick paper in the heels of your shoes at night so that no one will
Remember your body shape, and prepare a few large rocks on the boat to sink all the stolen clothes to the bottom of the lake."
He Qizhou looked surprised, gave Xu Mu a thumbs up and said: "What an old man! I listen to you. You should be careful yourself. If you can't beat me, don't be brave. Run away quickly. Don't be captured alive and betray us."
Three accomplices." Then he took out a small packet of medicine and threw it to Xu Mu and said: "To intoxicate, mix water or wine at a ratio of 1:100. A small cup can make you sleep for three hours. Two sticks of incense will take effect."
Xu Mu's face was stern, he took the drug and stuffed it into his arms and said: "You are so messed up, get out of here!"
He Qizhou looked bitter and said: "Then you pay me back. By the way, do you have money? Stay in an inn..."
"No money, get out now!"
He Qizhou turned to Zhang Qingrou again. Zhang Qingrou opened her eyes wide, spread her hands and said, "I don't have any money either. If I had money, I would still accompany that rich woman Liu Zhen to travel around the world?"
The windows and doors of the guest room next to Xu Mu were still closed, but there were three people in the room. One was Li Jichen, and the other was a slender man in his forties. He was Li Jichen's first disciple, Haoran, one of the famous Jinling swordsmen in the south of the Yangtze River.
Jian Lu Zhenyao; the last person, short and fat, is Zhang Luyao, the prefect of Jinling.
The three of them not only talked about disaster relief, but also about rescuing people for a long time. Zhang Luyao's face was ashen, he kept shaking his head and sighed to himself: "Oh, how did I become a big idiot? Do you want me to?"
Remind them not to act in vain?"
Li Jichen chuckled and said, "Young man, let them go. Zhenyao, just respond to what Mu'er says."
"Yes, master." Lu Zhenyao lowered his head and replied.
