dusk.
County government.
Outside the South Prison gate.
Looking at the hazy sky, Xu Zhen crossed his arms and frowned, still thinking about Song Zhili's words.
In Song Zhili's opinion, sacrificing one's life for righteousness is foolishness and bravery. He doesn't think it's worth risking one's life just to get rid of a few bullies.
In fact, Xu Zhen's philosophy is similar to his. Only by striving for the top and gaining greater rights and abilities can more injustices be changed.
And once it dies midway, all ideals are empty talk.
However, after Qiu Batian and Cui Yanwang were eradicated, how could he not feel gratified when he saw the people beating gongs and drums to celebrate the liberation?
When the mountain weighing on one's head collapses and there are no more villains coming to the house to collect debts, why not feel relieved?
Therefore, Xu Zhen still believes that all evil must be eradicated!
If small evils are not eliminated, one will be even less qualified to deal with big evils.
It's just that I need to be more flexible, not only to eliminate evil, but also to protect myself.
Originally, Xu Zhen's plan went very smoothly, defeating the two bullies in one fell swoop. The Ghost-Faced Killer had also been captured. It seemed that it was done, but due to Song Zhili's fatal mistake, he was in a difficult situation.
If the secret passage can really be opened, can it be that... he can only wander around the world from now on?
He has 20,000 taels of silver notes in his arms and two boxes of treasures at home. Naturally, he is not short of money. With the blessing of "Demon Way", it seems that he can take his young daughter-in-law to wander around the world and create a new world.
But...what should I do with my uncle's family? Will he be implicated in the future?
Also, if you offend the governor Han Wentao, will you be wanted for assassination?
Even if they find the exit, can they really escape Yanping County safely?
Also, what should we do if the secret passage is not opened?
otherwise……
Xu Zhen's mind was running rapidly, and he even thought about it, should everyone rush out together with Cui Xiaotian hostage, and then defect to Tianxiong Escort Agency?
Let's see...can we trick Miss Li again?
If we can lead the enemy to the Tianxiong Escort Agency and involve the Tianxiong Escort Agency, can we find an opportunity to fish in troubled waters?
What the governor Han Wentao is most afraid of now is the spread of secrets. So with the help of Tianxiong Escort Agency, will this secret be spread throughout the world to restrain them?
No!
no……
Xu Zhen quickly rejected this idea because he felt that it would be too immoral. Miss Li hated evil so much and had a clear distinction between love and hate. If he tried to trick her again, would he still be a human being?
What's more, she is now hostile to him. If he really goes to find her, he might get a severe beating from Miss Li first...
"Brother! I'm here!"
While Xu Zhen was thinking hard, Shen Yu came to Xu Zhen excitedly, carrying a black iron rod.
"Look, there happens to be an iron rod in the yamen's armory," Shen Yu casually shook the iron rod and said, "Although it's not as smooth as the one at home, it's still pretty good!"
Although Huniu is a tiger, Xu Zhen feels full of security and intimacy every time he sees her.
"I want to see which thief comes to rob the prison and beat him to death with a stick! Hahaha..." Shen Yu laughed like a bell and added, "Anyway, Capt. Cheng has already hidden Cui Xiaotian. Well, even if we come to grab it, we can only miss it!"
"..." Xu Zhen quickly took back his sense of security and intimacy.
"Xiaoyu," at this time, Shen Mingchen and Qi Yunzheng also came to the prison door. The old warden waved to his daughter and said, "Go and count the number of people in the prison. I can't trust those jailers."
"Okay..." Shen Yu put away the iron rod and entered the cell obediently.
As soon as Shen Yu left, monk Qi Yunzheng knelt down in front of Xu Zhen:
"My dear benefactor, please accept my respects from the young monk!"
Only then did Xu Zhen realize that the shackles on Qi Yunzheng's body had been removed.
"Without the clever calculations of our benefactor, it would be extremely difficult to find the ghost-faced killer. Your great kindness and virtue will be unforgettable..."
Qi Yun was about to kowtow, but Xu Zhen quickly helped him up and asked:
"Why...are you really a monk?"
"Yes," Qi Yunzheng nodded, "I was ordained at Shaolin Temple in Shangzhou, and my name is Dingzen."
Yo?
Xu Zhen was surprised. He did not expect that the Daxuan Dynasty also had a Shaolin Temple.
"He is indeed a warrior monk," Shen Mingchen added. "If someone really comes to rob the prison, he can also come in handy."
When speaking, Shen Mingchen was extremely careful and looked around carefully, for fear of being overheard.
"It's a pity," Xu Zhen said regretfully, "If you had the chance, you'd better escape, right?"
"No," Qi Yunzheng said firmly, "If I don't leave, several benefactors will cause trouble for me. How can I just leave? Besides, I have broken the prohibition on killing, and I cannot tolerate it in the Buddha or the Dharma."
"Lord Song said," Shen Mingchen said to Qi Yunzheng, "If he can really vindicate Qi Dalang in the future, he will consider your situation and punish you as appropriate. But those... seem to be things for later!"
"Don't worry, my two benefactors," Qi Yunzheng said, "No matter whether my eldest brother can be rehabilitated or not, I am already satisfied! Now, the young monk just wants to fight side by side with his benefactors!"
"good!"
Shen Mingchen immediately threw a steel knife to Qi Yunzheng...
…
Time came to midnight in a blink of an eye.
According to reports from the backyard, the secret passage is progressing smoothly and the collapsed ruins have been excavated. Cheng Xiao is exploring the depths of the secret passage and is expected to find the exit soon.
According to Shen Mingchen, only he and Magistrate Tong knew about the secret passage.
Magistrate Tong once thought about repairing the secret passage, but later he thought that once it was repaired, more people would know about it. The news that the county magistrate's house was building a secret tunnel was not good news, so in the end it was dropped.
At this moment, light snow finally fell in the hazy sky, but the temperature had already risen, and it turned into rain when it fell to the ground...
There was a light on at the door of the South Prison, and there were four gate gods standing at the door, namely Xu Zhen, Shen Mingchen, Shen Yu and Qi Yunzheng. Inside the prison, there were more detectives and jailers lurking.
In fact, Xu Zhen repeated his old tricks and found many criminals with relatively minor charges, and traded with them using letters of pardon. Once a prison robbery occurred, he would release them...
"Senior Brother Xu," Shen Yu reached out to catch a few snowflakes, and the snowflakes melted in hand, "My premonition is always accurate. I can already smell the murderous aura, and I feel that the other party will take action soon!"
"This..." Shen Yu's words left Xu Zhen speechless.
"Girl," Shen Mingchen complained, "hope for something better! The secret passage will soon find its exit. When the time comes, you go first!"
"That's not possible," Shen Yuchu held the iron rod in his hand, "Let's go together!"
"Amitabha," Qi Yunzheng seemed to hear something at this time, and immediately chanted the Buddha's name and said to everyone, "The young monk also feels the same, it seems... they have already arrived!"
Shen Yu and Qi Yunzheng's premonition was indeed accurate. When the spiral snowflakes falling from the sky suddenly turned into raindrops, many men in black were already running quickly outside the Yamen!
These people were all light and strong, stepping on the condensing water without making any sound.
The number of men in black was far beyond imagination, like ants gathering from all directions towards the county government office. As they approached, they flashed steel knives with a cold light in their hands.
In the snow and rain, a dark night fight is about to begin.
However, just when a group of men in black were about to climb over the wall and enter the hospital, a high-pitched shout suddenly came from far away in the long street.
"drive……"
With a loud shout, a carriage was seen rushing towards the main entrance of the county government office at an extremely fast speed...
