In the evening of the same day, Ma Xiaoquan led Ma Zhi and Ge Shuqing, who had been disguised, to the imperial prison.
Since Ge Shuqing was born as a girl, Ma Xiaoquan disguised her as an old witch woman. She was bent over and exuded the unique smell of old women.
Although Ge Shuqing also had bouts of retching, she fought hard for her two younger brothers.
Arriving at the gate of the imperial prison, Ma Xiaoquan said to the two guards in golden robes guarding the gate: "How is the interrogation going on inside?"
These two Jin Yiwei had received orders from Tian Ergen earlier. When they saw Ma Xiaoquan and Counselor Zhang (Ma Zhi) coming together, they said respectfully: "Return to the deacon, it's almost over, even the man is dying..."
"
"Hmm~~" Ma Xiaoquan pointed at Ge Shuqing, who was pretending to be an old woman behind him, and said: "This is the old woman I brought with me to wash away the bad luck..."
The two guards in Jinyi acknowledged the strangeness and opened the door of the prison.
Since people were often tortured to death in the imperial prison, the Jinyi guards would often bring some witches, gods, Taoists, monks and the like to perform religious rituals. Firstly, they would remove the gloomy bad luck in the imperial prison, and secondly, they would also give themselves peace of mind. After all, they were tortured.
This kind of work is actually harmful to one's life span.
After entering the imperial prison, Ge Shuqing was extremely nervous. She held on to Ma Zhi's clothes tightly, wanting to look but not daring to look.
This reaction is quite normal. Ma Xiaoquan and Ma Zhi also behaved this way when they entered the imperial edict for the first time.
The prison was very big, and the various instruments of torture inside looked terrifying. Ge Shuqing closed her eyes and her body was shaking slightly. She reached the depths of the prison and then opened her eyes at Ma Zhi's call.
.
In a cell deep inside, Ge Shuxingyun, who was beaten to death by Tian Ergen, had his head drooped. He didn't even notice that the cell door was opened.
Ge Shuqing pursed her lips, looking at her inhuman younger brother under the dim torch light, and almost burst into tears. If Ma Zhi hadn't been quick and covered her mouth, her crying would have revealed her secret.
Already.
"Madam, don't cry, don't cry~" Ma Zhi gently comforted Ge Shuqing, "Xingyun is right here..."
Ge Shuqing nodded and reached out to gently touch Ge Shuxingyun's cheek.
"Uh~~" Ge Shuxingyun woke up after being touched by Ge Shuqing.
"What else do you want?" Ge Shuxingyun said weakly.
Ma Zhi whispered: "Xingyun, it's me, brother-in-law, and your sister. We are here to save you."
Ge Shuxingyun's pupils shrank violently, his eyes widened suddenly, and he vaguely saw the man and woman talking to him in front of him.
"Sister, brother-in-law..." Ge Shuxingyun flattened his mouth and was about to cry. Ge Shuqing quickly covered his brother's mouth and comforted him: "Xingyun, hold on, the deacon is here to save you.
Already."
"Deacon? Ma Xiaoquan?"
Ma Xiaoquan turned his head and hummed softly.
Ge Shuxingyun was a little surprised. He thought Ma Xiaoquan was joking again, but he didn't expect that he actually came.
"Okay, you don't need to say anything more~" Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand to stop Ge Shuxingyun who wanted to speak, "I'm going to save your brother now."
Ge Shuxingyun nodded excitedly.
"Ma Zhi, Ge Shuqing, you and I will leave this place to your husband..."
...
The cell where Geshu Liushui was held was about fifty meters away from his brother's cell. There was a darkroom in the middle. There were guards in Jinyi interrogating people in the darkroom. From time to time, pitiful screams could be heard, which shocked Geshu.
Shuqing was very scared.
"Don't be afraid, just be natural and follow what I just told you... just do it..."
"Hmm~~"
Ge Shuqing scattered her hair, wiped a few handfuls of black ash on her face, and then screamed out loud.
When passing by the darkroom, the door opened and a head popped out. When he saw it was Ma Xiaoquan, the head quickly retracted, and then a man came out and said respectfully: "Master Deacon~"
"Well, how was the trial?" Ma Xiaoquan pretended to be calm.
"It's okay, it's okay, hehe, sir, are you reciting the Dharma again?"
"Yes, there is a lot of yin here, so I can't do it without chanting. I have been unable to sleep at night recently, and I feel uneasy."
"Then, sir, can you read a few more sentences to the little one? The little one is also scared."
Ma Xiaoquan raised his leg and kicked the Jin Yiwei, and said with a smile: "You know what a bastard! Here, take this and have a drink with the brothers, don't treat yourself badly, our guy will damage your moral character." Ma Xiaoquan threw it over.
Ingots of silver.
The Jin Yiwei smiled and took the money, nodded and said: "I understand, sir, sir, you are so kind~"
"Go, go, stop patting my horse, and hurry up and get to work~"
"Eh~~"
The darkroom door closed again, Ma Xiaoquan turned and nodded to Ge Shuqing, who followed him to the door of the cell where Ge Shuliushui was imprisoned.
In the cell, Geshu Liushui was covered in blood, almost like his brother Geshu Xingyun. When Ma Xiaoquan opened the cell door, he didn't wake up.
Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand to touch Ge Shuliushui's nose, nodded and said: "You are still alive, Ge Shuqing. I heard from Ma Zhi, does your Geshu family have a life-saving elixir? Have you brought it? Give it to me quickly."
Liu Shui takes it, otherwise I won't dare to carry him."
"Yes, yes, I brought it!" Ge Shuqing reached into her arms anxiously and took out a small porcelain bottle.
Ma Xiaoquan took the porcelain bottle and said, "How do you eat it? Just drink it?"
"Hmm~~"
In the darkness, Ge Shuqing had no idea that the moment Ma Xiaoquan took the porcelain vase from her hand, she had already packaged it.
At this moment, what Ma Xiaoquan was holding in his hand was the poison given to him by Beiming Shuangxue.
Ma Xiaoquan gently opened Ge Shu Xingyun's mouth and drank the poison in his hand.
Ge Shuqing didn't even see what Ma Xiaoquan had done with Ge Shuliushui. She only knew that her brother must be rescued.
Geshu Liushui was seriously injured and couldn't wake up at all. Ma Xiaoquan poured poison into him, and he just let out a slight grunt.
Ma Xiaoquan was secretly happy in his heart. This was the effect he wanted. Hum, songs and books flow, just wait obediently for the poison to take effect, and then die.
...
Carrying the song "Liu Shui" on his back, Ma Xiaoquan said to the song "Liu Shui": "You continue singing randomly, I will carry Liu Shui out now. Remember, don't stop."
"Hmm~~~"
...
On Ma Zhi's side, he had also memorized the song, book, and text. The two parties met in front of the darkroom. Ma Xiaoquan and Ma Zhi immediately put the two of them into a hay cart, and then put the two of them into dead people's clothes.
, cover it with some straw.
After doing all this, Ma Xiaoquan called a few guards in golden clothes and ordered: "These two people are dead. Take them out and throw them into the mass grave. Someone will come to burn them then."
"It's my lord~"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and looked at Ma Zhi: "Okay, let's go, this place is really unlucky~"
Ma Zhi hummed, glanced at Ge Shuqing who was following him, and pretended to say: "Old lady, read it carefully. I'll be out in a while. I'll give you a few more big bucks."
...
After leaving the prison and going around a few corners, Ge Shuqing finally couldn't help it and started vomiting while holding on to the wall.
Ma Zhi patted Ge Shuqing's back distressedly, comforting her while patting her.
Ge Shuqing raised her head, holding back tears from her red eyes. She wiped away her tears and said, "Sir, my two younger brothers..."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "They should have been fished out of the mass grave. Come on, follow me to a place."
...
In a private house, the poems "Xingyun" and "Liushui" were placed on the bed.
Ma Laojiu stood quietly by the bed, looking at the miserable state of Brother Geshu, feeling a little unbearable.
"You said that you guys are all Han, no matter what you do." Ma Laojiu shook his head in confusion.
Ge Shu Xingyun had already woken up at this time. He heard Ma Laojiu sigh and said with a bitter smile: "You don't understand this..."
Before he finished speaking, the door opened.
When Ma Laojiu saw that it was Ma Xiaoquan who had arrived, he quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Boss, arrangements have been made, and their injuries have been bandaged."
"Well, you did a good job, just wait outside the door~"
"Yes~~"
...
Ge Shuqing walked out from behind Ma Xiao, threw herself in front of Ge Shuxingyun, and lay on the bed crying bitterly.
Ge Shuxingyun felt pain all over her body and could not move at all, so she could only let her sister cry bitterly.
"Okay, madam, don't cry. Fortunately, Xingyun Liushui has been rescued by us..." Ma Zhi consoled him.
"Hmm~~" Ge Shuqing gently wiped the sweat from Ge Shu Xingyun's face and said, "Xingyun, I have notified my family, and someone will pick you up soon."
"Sister, what should you do?" Ge Shuxingyun said.
"I have to stay, I won't leave for the time being."
"How can that be done? It would be unsafe if we left you here alone."
Ma Zhi was a little angry: "Why, if your sister marries me, will I harm her?"
The song and calligraphy line were silent.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, eh? Why don't you say anything in the song? Are you still awake?"
After Ma Xiaoquan reminded them, several people realized that the flow of songs and books had been silent.
Ma Zhi glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, then stretched out his hand to sniff Liu Shui's breath, huh? He was still angry. What about Ma Xiaoquan? Didn't he kill Liu Shui?
Ma Zhi looked at Ma Xiaoquan suspiciously, and Ma Xiaoquan looked back at Ma Zhi with a blank expression.
Ge Shuqing also checked the breathing of her brother Ge Shuliushui, nodded and said: "It's okay, my breathing is stable..." After saying that, Ge Shuqing turned around and knelt down in front of Ma Xiaoquan with a pop.
.
"What are you doing?" Ma Xiaoquan quickly helped Ge Shuqing up.
Ge Shuqing shook her head: "Sir, Ge Shuqing will always remember the kindness of saving my brother."
"Hey, what are you talking about..." Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and winked at Ma Zhi, indicating that he should help your wife up quickly.
