"What's the fuss? Why are we still in jail?" Another soldier asked in confusion.
Just as Chen Jinghuai was about to speak, a stone was thrown in from the window outside the cell.
Looking out through the lights on the two walls of the cell door, it was clear that there was darkness as far as the eye could see.
Chen Jinghuai couldn't help but get closer, and when he got closer, the person outside the cell door also poked his head out.
Then he heard the person outside lowering his voice and saying with surprise, "It's the captain!"
Then the man in black just lay at the window and said to Chen Jinghuai, "Lieutenant, we are coming to rescue you right away, don't be afraid!"
Chen Jinghuai felt baffled, and the other party's voice was soft and high-pitched, more like a woman's.
Song Chuchu outside the window saw his confused look, and quickly pulled down the scarf to reveal her face.
When he suddenly saw Song Chuchu, Chen Jinghuai was also surprised, "Why are you here? Aren't you fooling around?"
After saying this, he also realized that his voice was a little louder. Fortunately, when he looked in the direction of the jailers, they were still shaking the dice but no one noticed the movement.
Song Chuchu only said aggrievedly, "Aren't they worried about your safety? Even if you don't appreciate it, you actually said that they are fooling around. Is it true that only Nuo Niang from Nuo Jin's tavern came to save you, and your ex-fiancée came to save you?" Isn’t that nonsense?”
Hearing Song Chuchu's words, Chen Jinghuai felt that he was one head and two older. He subconsciously explained, "What does this have to do with them? I mean, you are from a girl's family, you don't know kung fu, and you have no self-defense ability. If you are caught, What should I do?"
Hearing this, Song Chuchu chuckled and said, "Do you care about me? Then I'll just pretend that you care about me."
Chen Jinghuai didn't reply, but when he suddenly saw Song Chuchu's face through a wall, he was not only surprised, but also a little moved.
Although he didn't need Song Chuchu to get involved in this matter.
When Song Chuchu saw that her goods were almost sold, she lowered her voice and said, "But I didn't come here alone. I also brought three other people here. Let's divide the work now and rescue you."
Not wanting to hear this, Chen Jinghuai shook his head, "Don't rush to save me yet."
"Why? Are you still in jail and addicted?" Song Chuchu said speechlessly.
Chen Jinghuai said in a low voice, "The county magistrate here doesn't care. If I leave like this, I will be charged with a crime. I, Chen Jinghuai, should leave in a dignified manner."
Hearing this, it was not just Song Chuchu. The people below who were carrying Song Chuchu were also speechless when they heard this.
Their boss is good at everything, but he is too much of a gentleman.
Song Chuchu said, "That old man is just as you said, not only is he careless, but he is also a dim-witted old pervert. You are not rude in any way, and it won't affect your reputation if we save you."
After hearing this, Chen Jinghuai wanted to say something more, but he didn't expect that a brigade government officer suddenly broke in from outside the cell.
After trembling with authority at the jailer, they headed into the cell. .
Chen Jinghuai knew that now was not the time to speak, so he stopped talking and just threw a piece of paper to Song Chuchu.
And he warned in a low voice, "Someone is coming, please leave quickly! Leave me alone!"
Although Song Chuchu wanted to say something else, her eyes naturally caught sight of the government officials coming towards the prison door, so in order to avoid trouble, she quickly shrank down after that.
The government officials who came all the way urgently, under the protection of the cell leader, only inspected the prison once. Then when they saw that Chen Jinghuai and others were still in the prison, the man couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
The jailer asked in confusion, "Master Captor, you are here late at night, but what do you have to explain?"
The yamen servant thought about how he had just come in and saw a group of them playing dice around a table, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
He pointed the hilt of the knife at the four Chen Jinghuai in the cell and said, "Tonight, someone attacked Xichun Tower and only kidnapped you. They tried to save these four people by holding you hostage."
After saying this, he just put down the hilt of the knife in his hand, and then threatened, "My lord, I estimate that the accomplices of these four people will come over soon. You must guard them for me, otherwise this will happen." If the four of them are lost, adults will take them.
You are asking. "
Hearing this, the cell leader only complained secretly in his heart, but he still promised, "Don't worry, sir, this man is locked up here, and we will make sure he never comes back."
Then, after the cell leader expressed his loyalty, he chuckled and said, "But sir, you see there are only a few people in our prison. You can let Master Luo be taken over by you even though you are heavily guarding him. Do you think we can do the same here?" We should add some more people.”
The yamen officer was obviously only hurt by the prison head. He snorted coldly and said, "About this, your Excellency has already expected it. What can you guys do? So he asked me to send another group of people to fight with you." You all defend together! We must catch this group of thieves tonight."
When he said this, there was only a rare fierce light in the Yamen servant's eyes.
Although the cell leader thought that the other party was pretending.
However, seeing that he was not the sole defense, he let the yamen servant do the talking.
Anyway, if something happens, whoever takes the lead here will be responsible.
The prison boss quickly cooperated and said, "I feel relieved now that you have an adult."
After saying that, he just invited the yamen servant to the door again.
At the same time, he only said loudly, "Brothers, gather quickly. Mr. Ma has important matters that require your cooperation."
As he finished speaking, a group of people came over in twos and threes. Later, under the arrangement of the yamen servant, tonight the South Prison was only surrounded by people from the inner three floors and the outer three floors.
Back to Song Chuchu, when Song Chuchu found out that a government servant was coming, she accepted the note from Chen Jinghuai and then got off the brother who was holding her up just now.
"How's it going? What did the boss say?" Because the window of the prison was too high, they couldn't hear what was going on inside, so they could only ask Song Chuchu quickly.
Song Chuchu first lowered her voice and said, "The government officials just now came to check on Captain Chen. It seems that they are going to strengthen the deployment of troops."
"We are not afraid of strengthening the deployment. At worst, we will fight them!" another person said angrily.
Song Chuchu only said, "But the captain asked you not to rush to save him. He doesn't want you to be charged with jail robbery."
After hearing Song Chuchu's words, the man said in frustration, "Then what should we do now?"
Song Chuchu had already opened the note given to him by Chen Jinghuai, and saw a sentence written on it: Go to Jingcheng quickly.
After all, Song Chuchu was not the person around Chen Jinghuai, so she was naturally confused after seeing this.
So she could only hand the note to others to read.
These soldiers immediately understood what Chen Jinghuai meant.
They just slapped their thighs and said, "Why didn't we think of this just now! The boss has to be the boss."
Song Chuchu asked puzzledly, "What do you think of?"
The soldier was still planning to explain, but at this time, the government officials had already deployed their troops and came out to patrol. They looked at the firelight coming from far and near, and the government officials' loud lectures.
The soldier could only hiss softly, and then whispered, "Let's go first."
Song Chuchu naturally saw the fire. She didn't have the skills herself, and naturally she didn't want to confront the patrols head-on, so she immediately cooperated with a few others and left from the south prison.
After leaving the prison, they just returned to the inn.
After arriving at the inn, the soldier who had just carried Song Chuchu on his back just now said, "Jingcheng is not far from here. It takes one day to go back and forth. However, I am worried that something will happen here, boss. Why don't you go to Jingcheng?" Then, Miss Song and I will stay at the inn and pay attention to what's going on here. I wonder if you have any objections?"
None of the other two people wanted to take Song Chuchu with them, so they were naturally very satisfied with the arrangement of the soldiers. They only said, "Of course there is no problem."
Song Chuchu was puzzled and said, "You haven't told me what you are going to Jingcheng for?"
The other people obviously did not consider Song Chuchu as a negotiable object at all. They arranged their own affairs, and no one was willing to explain the reasons to Song Chuchu.
Seeing that no one in the room took her seriously, Song Chuchu became angry. She raised her hands and said, "Then I object, I want to go to Jingcheng!"
After hearing this, the other three people just looked at Song Chuchu speechlessly.
Finally, the soldier asked Song Chuchu, "Can that girl know how to ride a horse?"
Song Chuchu shook her head.
The soldier said, "It takes a day's journey from Yecheng to Jingcheng, and it's best to ride a horse. The girl doesn't know how to ride a horse. Do you want to walk there directly?"
Song Chuchu could only shake her head again. She also heard that the other party just didn't want her to get involved in these things.
So she just raised her hand slightly and said, "Okay, stop talking, I understand what you mean. I won't go! But you have to tell me your plans."
The other two people were obviously quite dissatisfied, but the soldier only stopped them and said, "Okay, hurry up and go to Jingcheng. After leaving the suburbs, there should be a horse seller within ten miles to the west. You can go directly to it." Just go over there."
After listening to the man's arrangement, the other two people said nothing more. They just opened the window and then disappeared into the night again.
After the two people left, the soldier explained: "The prefect of Jingcheng is in charge of the sixteen cities of Yunzhou, and Yecheng is also under his rule. Now that the Yecheng County magistrate dares to neglect his duties, then we will Go past him and report this matter directly to the Jingcheng Prefect."
Speaking of this, the soldier only paused for a moment, and said with some pride, "Besides, the Jingcheng Prefect is the wife-in-law of the captain. If he knew that our boss was being held in prison, he would definitely not sit idly by and ignore it."
After hearing this, Song Chuchu finally understood the involvement.
"Then what can we do if we stay here now?" Song Chuchu asked in confusion.
"I'm worried that the county magistrate will be unfavorable to the boss. We stay here. If something goes wrong, we can at least delay it for a while." The soldier explained.
