night.
Inside the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Zhang Yu and other Zhu Di's subordinates were transferred from the heavily guarded Jinyiwei Prison to the relatively ordinary Penal Department Prison. Finally, they no longer had to suffer torture, and they could breathe a sigh of relief.
But being locked up in prison, they can probably think about what will happen in the future. This place is isolated from everything outside, and they don't know what King Yan is like.
Very worried about this.
After following Zhu Di for so many years, this worry comes from the bottom of my heart.
"What do we do next?"
Qiu Fu asked: "Are you waiting to die?"
Zhang Yu said calmly: "We can wait for death, but we cannot all wait for death. Although staying here leaves us with nothing to do, we do not have no chance at all."
"Why did Lao Zhang say that?"
Zhu Neng asked.
Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes and said: "Before I was captured by the prince, Master Daoyan came to me and said that if we could leave the Jinyiwei Prison, someone would come to rescue us, but only one person could be saved."
Before they were caught, they would not be able to escape and would have been stared at for a long time.
"Master Daoyan, can you still save us?"
Qiu Fu asked in surprise.
Zhu Neng said: "But who can I let go?"
Then the trouble comes again.
Only one person can be taken away. No matter who is allowed to leave, it doesn't seem right. Now that he is in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, he is leaving the Jinyiwei Prison. Yao Guangxiao really has an arrangement and he has to act quickly.
If they wait any longer, they will all be beheaded.
"I'll forget it."
Qiu Fu lifted himself up, his leg having been shot before, and said helplessly: "I am already a useless person. If any of you want to leave, make your own decision!"
He has lost hope.
Others, no more ideas.
So the question comes again, who will choose to leave?
A difficult problem lies before us.
Of course Zhang Yu wanted Zhang Fu to leave, but others were just afraid that they would have objections.
It was not good to ruin the relationship, so he didn't bring up the idea.
After being brothers for so many years, how could Zhu Neng not know what Zhang Yu was thinking, and said: "Among all of us, Zhang Fu is the only one who is the youngest and has the most potential. The others are all old guys. Even if You won’t live for many years if you leave, so it’s better to leave the opportunity to young people.”
He directly expressed Zhang Yu's feelings.
Hearing this, Zhang Yu glanced at him gratefully.
At the end of the discussion, everyone had no objections and agreed to let Zhang Fu leave. As long as people can go out, they can help them do the unfinished things.
"Zhang Fu, kneel down!"
Zhang Yu said sharply.
Zhang Fu understood why he had to kneel.
He knelt down in front of them and kowtowed vigorously several times.
"What are you doing?"
At this time, a jailer came over.
They immediately became quiet and did not even look at the jailer. They had no awe at all for the people in the Punishment Department.
When the jailer saw it, he grinned slightly and said, "Have you decided who to let go?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at the jailer at the same time.
"But the person arranged by Master Daoyan?"
Zhang Yu asked.
"After you've made your choice, come with me!"
The man didn't reply and just opened the cell door.
The meaning is obvious, the jailer is that person.
They had to sigh, that bad monk Yao Guangxiao was really powerful. There were even people who had infiltrated into the Penal Department. It seemed very easy to take someone away from the cell.
But only one person can be taken away. If the number increases, they will be shot into hedgehogs before they even get out of the Penal Department prison.
When Zhu Yunwen escaped from prison, the Ministry of Punishments strengthened the prison guards time and time again.
One person is their upper limit.
"Zhang Fu, let's go!"
Zhang Yu said lightly.
Zhang Fu's eyes were red and he didn't say anything. He just knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to them several times before following the jailer and leaving.
Go outside.
The jailer did not take the person out immediately. Instead, he threw a set of jailer's uniform to Zhang Fu, took the person to a dark corner, and asked him to change into clothes before going out.
After everything was done, the jailer calmly took Zhang Fu out of the prison.
"Old Zhao, is there a changing of the guard?"
An old jailer smiled and said hello when he saw this jailer.
The jailer said calmly: "It's a changing of the guard, and a new person has been brought in, but bringing a new person is troublesome. He doesn't understand this, and he doesn't know that, alas!"
The old jailer just glanced at Zhang Fu and didn't worry too much. After all, the Ministry of Punishment had dealt with many jailers because of Zhu Yunwen's incident, and recently a new group of jailers had been arranged to come in.
It is normal to have new people.
"Okay, let's go!" the old jailer said again.
"After two days of rest, I'll meet you for a drink."
The jailer laughed.
The old jailer was an alcoholic. Hearing that he could drink, he swallowed and said, "That's a good relationship. I'll wait for you, haha..."
Amid his laughter, the jailer took Zhang Fu outside smoothly.
Zhang Fu's nervous heart relaxed a lot.
Arriving in the city, inside an ordinary house.
The jailer took off his clothes, still on his face, tore off a layer of skin, and said: "My surname is not Zhao, my name is Ding Gugang. After dawn, I will take you out of the city. Be prepared! The process of leaving the city will not be easy. , change clothes first."
"Thanks!"
Zhang Fu said gratefully.
Ding Gugang shook his head and said: "No need to thank me, maybe you will hate me later, haha..."
Zhang Fu didn't quite understand why he said he would hate it.
But it would be great if he could come out smoothly. As long as he returns to Peiping, he can help Zhu Di get revenge.
"King Yan, what's wrong?"
While changing clothes, Zhang Fu couldn't help but ask.
"You won't die, but you will be demoted to a commoner."
Ding Gugang also changed into clothes that looked a little smelly.
Zhang Fu was relieved when he heard that he would not die.
Zhang Fu didn't quite understand what use his clothes were for if they were so smelly.
It should be preparations for leaving the city!
They are in this house, taking a break.
Until the rooster crows, Ding Gugang leads Zhang Fu to another place.
There had long been a cart that exuded a strong odor.
"Get in!"
Ding Gu just opened a wooden barrel.
Although it was empty inside, the wall of the barrel was covered with all kinds of filth. Zhang Fu almost vomited after taking one look at it.
This is a cart used to dump excrement water into the homes of the city.
Ding Gugang asked him to hide in this excrement bucket?
"I told you, you will hate me."
Ding Gugang noticed Zhang Fu's reaction and said calmly: "You already have tattoos on your face. You can't get out of the city without going in."
Zhang Yu does have the kind of tattoos on his face that are exclusive to prisoners.
When I left the cell just now, I was wearing the clothes of a jailer, covering my head, and with the lack of light, leaving was not a big problem.
But if you leave the city, the soldiers and horses guarding the city will stop you and check you immediately if they see you covering up or having tattoos on your face. Not only will you be unable to leave, but you may also be pinned to the ground on the spot.
If you resist, you will be killed.
Zhang Fu frowned, but finally hid in the bucket, covered his mouth and nose, and decided to endure it!
