There was a fishy and putrid smell everywhere, which was extremely pungent and suffocating.
Hong Zhiye huddled on a stone couch in a corner of the prison, with a lot of thatched grass spread under his body. He lay down with his clothes on, but he could barely sleep peacefully.
I vaguely remember being locked up here for more than ten days. I drank a sour porridge every day, and then slept intermittently. The reason for this was that I was always awakened by the miserable sound of torture, and then slept intermittently.
After being frightened for a long time, I couldn't stand the sleepiness anymore and fell asleep again. In this way, morning and night were reversed, and I couldn't tell whether it was daytime or late at night.
Hong Zhiye collapsed on the stone couch, exhausted, and touched the side of the stone couch. He saw the marks he had carved with rusty iron nails, no more, no less, exactly fifteen.
Fifteen scratches mean that he has drunk fifteen meals of gruel in this prison. One meal of gruel a day is still the rule he set back then. It will neither starve to death nor feed the prisoners.
He had enough strength to dig a hole and escape. These fifteen meals of gruel showed that he had been locked up here for half a month.
Today I made a mark, but it has not been made yet.
Just an hour ago, all the chainmail guards guarding the dungeon withdrew, and there were far fewer Tiger Guards left. Uncharacteristically, a rather "summer" meal was delivered to the prisoners in the dungeon.
:
There are not only corn rice, millet cakes, but also many cut pickles, and the portions are large and sufficient, lest these prisoners will not be full. In the prison where there are more male prisoners, there is even a small jar of village brewing! It was difficult to put down before.
The porridge you swallow is almost like a festival.
However, there are only a few people who really have the appetite to eat and chew. Many people are like a mirror, thinking that this meal is probably the rumored "death meal"! But they don't know how people like them will die.
.
Hong Zhiye, however, had no scruples. He grabbed the food and wine that were delivered to him and started to devour them like a wind and lingering cloud.
It wasn't that he was willing to die calmly, but that he used the only jade belt hook left on his body to bribe a tiger guard guarding the prison. This tiger guard had received some favors from him when he was under his command, and his conscience was not completely gone. So he
I got the secret order from the palace envoy this morning and told Hong Zhiye quietly that all the prisoners in the prison would be executed later.
Hong Zhiye was immediately frightened and burst into tears. He quickly said that there was still a lot of gold and silver hidden in the old house in the city, and begged the tiger guard to rescue him and was willing to give all the gold and silver to him. The tiger guard naturally agreed and just asked him to be patient and wait a moment.
He had to make some plans in advance before he could take advantage of the chaos to save him.
With this glimmer of hope, Hong Zhiye mustered up his energy again and took the time to swallow food and wine to regain some of his strength. Only in this way, once he was rescued, would he have the strength to find the few monks who were there to guide him.
Take him to escape Luoyang.
At this time, the iron door at the east end suddenly opened again, and a wave of laughter, mixed with a few women's sobs, rushed in.
Hong Zhiye frowned slightly, knowing that the person coming was none other than Yuan Zhongwu. Since the last time, several orchids he had brought out had been rescued, and several pepper rooms in Yingchuan Villa were burned down. This Yuan family dude seemed to be taking revenge.
, every one or two days, they would come to this dungeon and tie up a few women. After they were tortured until they were no longer human, they would return them, and then select a few less beautiful ones and tie them away.
Among the women he abused, there were captured female cultists and maids from the Qin Mansion. After being humiliated, most of these women committed suicide in shame and anger, while the rest also became foolish and stupid, and were no longer as quiet and smart as before...
At the beginning, Hong Zhiye sighed secretly. Today, he secretly said "fortunately" for the woman who will be selected. After all, after today, the people in prison will turn into innocent souls, but the woman who was kidnapped by Yuan Zhongwu may survive.
, and survived ever since.
However, Yuan Zhongwu seemed to have also gotten the news, knowing that today the people in the prison would be slaughtered. He just smacked his lips, held up a torch, and searched carefully in every prison. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he pointed to a certain place.
The prisoner said: "Come here, drag that young woman out. She avoided her last time! Haha! It will be a pity if we don't succeed today... I will have fun in this dungeon, hehehehe!"
"
The tiger guard beside him immediately responded, broke into the prison, and dragged out a young woman. The woman was quite handsome. Knowing that the playboy in front of her wanted to do something evil, she tried her best to lie on the ground.
, refusing to obey even to the point of death.
Yuan Zhongwu looked at the woman's frightened appearance, then glanced at her slightly bulging belly, and became more and more excited. He pushed away the two tiger guards who were in the way, and pounced on the woman, and then
It is his best skill "opening silk and splitting silk palm"...
No matter how the woman cried and begged, Yuan Zhongwu didn't stop at all. Just like peeling off a rice dumpling, he quickly peeled off most of the already stained shirt and skirt, revealing the bulging breasts wrapped in gauze.
Under the struggle, there was a surging feeling.
Yuan Zhongwu swallowed a large amount of saliva and was about to push forward. But he heard a muffled sound coming from the pitch-black prison in front of him: "Bang——"
The few tiger guards around him were still laughing and making noises, completely ignoring the roars coming from several prisons. Naturally, they did not hear the muffled sound.
But Yuan Zhongwu was lying on the woman at this time, about to do the casual thing. Just after the muffled sound, he felt the ground shake slightly, and an unpleasant feeling suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart. It was as strong as fire just now.
My mood was immediately poured with a basin of cold water, and I felt sober in an instant.
His voice was slightly breathy, and he shouted anxiously: "Quick, pull me up! Something bad is going on..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw several tiger guards screaming in pain and falling down one after another. Several feather arrows were inserted into their chests, throats, eye sockets and other vital parts. The torches fell aside, illuminating the tragic situation extremely clearly.
.
Yuan Zhongwu felt a stream of heat gushing out from his crotch, and his legs finally couldn't help but tremble. If he hadn't been entangled with the woman beneath him just now, I'm afraid he would have been one more person hit by the arrow.
The Hu Ben guards stationed outside the dungeon heard strange noises in the prison. They immediately opened the prison and rushed in with weapons. However, they saw that a certain prison had been opened by someone. Many men in black robes and scarves were holding double-barrier knives or pulling swords.
They were full of bows and arrows and swarmed into the dungeon. When they saw the reinforcements coming in, the Tiger Guards came over without hesitation with swords and arrows in their hands. Some even took out flying knives, threw them out, and shot at the Tiger Guards.
Seeing that their enemies were numerous and pouring out of the prison, the Huben Guards guessed that they had dug a tunnel from the outside. So they each waved their swords and fought while retreating. Someone shouted: "Seal the prison door quickly."
!According to the instructions of the palace envoy, open the floodgates, pour water into the dungeon, and drown these remnants of the monsters!"
A Huben guard immediately objected: "Master Yuan Zhongwu is still in prison! If we drown him, Yuan Xiang will definitely be furious..."
Another tiger guard pulled out the flying knife on his shoulder, bared his teeth and said: "Gu, don't care about these many... Hiss! Look at this iron feather flying knife, it is Cui Mansion's Shanling Guards who came to rob the prison! Then they will call Shanling Guards
He killed Lord Yuan, destroyed his prison, and diverted water to pour water in an attempt to destroy the body and eliminate all traces... Let’s come back tomorrow and dig out Lord Yuan’s body.”
With a loud "clang" sound, the cell door was finally sealed. The Tiger Guards swarmed out of Luobinfang and looked for the reeds in the north.
As early as when Hong Zhiye and Hu Benwei secretly built the dungeon, they followed Wang Jin's instructions and dug a nearby culvert from Luoshui River to the north side of the dungeon. There was a sluice gate hidden in the middle of the culvert. All it took was to open the sluice gate.
The water will pour in, break through the northern wall, and soak the entire dungeon in the river. In this way, no matter how skilled the people imprisoned in the dungeon are, they will be drowned inside.
The torch that fell on the ground gradually faded away, and the dungeon became dim. The "Shan Ling Guards" who rushed in forced the Hu Ben Guards out of the dungeon, and then each put away their bows and arrows. They first checked the Tiger Guards who were hit by arrows on the ground to see if they were not dead yet.
, and of course he made up for it without any hesitation.
In the darkness, I suddenly heard several moans and sobs from a woman. When I went to look, I saw a black shadow jumping from the ground, stumbling and escaping to the other end of the dungeon.
The "Shan Ling Guards" thought it was the Tiger Guards who were cheating to death, so they drew their bows and arrows one after another, and shot in the direction where the black shadow was escaping. Perhaps driven by survival instinct, the black shadow actually ran away very fast, waiting for the guards to launch their arrows.
After shooting out, the black shadow disappeared into a dark passage.
Someone in the "Shan Ling Guards" had already made a fire, picked up the torch on the ground and lit it. Only then did he see the woman on the ground in a messy dress, huddled and sobbing. There was blood between her legs, but she had just struggled in fear.
As a result, a miscarriage was induced, and the fetus fell out of the abdomen.
The woman couldn't care less about her body gushing out, holding the already formed stillborn fetus in her hands, crying until her heart broke.
A "Shan Ling Guard" picked up a few pieces of broken dress, covered the woman, took off the mask, and said sadly: "Second sister-in-law, my condolences. Brother, I hope Yanli is late, I will take you out now."
When the woman heard that it was the Zoroastrian people, she said "Wow" and cried loudly: "Master...Yu Niang is incompetent...I didn't, I couldn't save our child...wuwuwu!"
This woman was Qin Xiangchu's concubine Yu Niang. She was already five months pregnant when Qin's mansion was raided. After being imprisoned in the dungeon, the female family members of Qin's mansion had been careful to protect her, but they did not expect that today
, was eventually attacked.
At this time, everyone in the prison had not yet escaped. A middle-aged woman led several old maids, quickly picked up Jade Girl, wrapped her skirt and shirt randomly, and fled towards the tunnel dug by the Zoroastrian people.
Divine Fire Protector Zhu Yanli immediately shouted: "Brothers of the Shuangge Guards, move faster! Don't wait for the Tiger Guards to bring in reinforcements. We will rescue the people. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape from Luobinfang."
"Magu!"
Dozens of people in the dungeon responded in unison, and then there was the sound of prisons being broken open by swords everywhere. Then some people shouted, some cheered, and some cried with joy, but it was the rescued Zoroastrian people and the Hu merchants' families who were all fighting.
Under the guidance of Wei, they got into the tunnels one by one and escaped.
However, the tunnel was narrow and the passage was limited. In addition, many brothers in the church were tortured, and it was extremely difficult to even stand. They had to be carried by others. After a while of tea, the inmates were able to save half of them.
"puff!"
At this moment, there was a loud noise from the north side of the dungeon, and under the firelight, a stream of water as thick as a human waist broke through the wall and spread out in all directions, intending to submerge the entire dungeon.
The Divine Fire Protector urged and observed the water flow. Within ten breaths, the water in the dungeon had already reached the top of his feet. And the water flow was getting thicker!
The Divine Fire Protector frowned, his mind changed rapidly, and he suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Save the family first, then the believers! The leader of the sect, all the rear!"
