Under the moonlit night, several black figures threw the flying rope towards the city wall and then climbed up the rope.
First, he sent a few people guarding the city gate to see the King of Hell.
Then, he opened the side door on the city gate.
Outside, a group of black shadows quickly filed in.
After this group of people entered Yongquan County, as if they were in an uninhabited land, they held sharp weapons in their hands and silently and quickly pounced on the county government office.
Among the yamen servants who were taking a nap against the door, one woke up from his dream, opened his eyes drowsily, raised his hand to block the wind, and then pricked up his ears to listen.
There seems to be something moving in the wind that doesn't sound right?
He stood up holding the barrel of the gun, and just as he was about to look over there, he was hit by floating sand blown by the night wind.
He lowered his head, shook it, said "bah bah" twice, and spit out the dust.
Suddenly I felt a severe pain in my neck.
He raised his head with difficulty and saw a group of men in black!
He wanted to warn, he wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound until he fell down.
The last sight was his companion who was also killed like him.
After the man in black finished killing the person, he paused for a moment and quickly cleaned up the corpses and blood stains in front of the door.
After the accomplice climbed over the yamen wall and opened the yamen door, he pounced in again.
The goal of half the people: to go straight to the county jail.
At this time, in the county jail, jailer Geng Xin was sitting at the table at the end of the rows of cells, drinking a cup of strong tea.
Geng Xin has always been very conscientious.
Whenever he is on duty, he will bring a large bag of tea leaves from home and make strong tea to drink. This is a very low-quality tea, but with Geng Xin's salary and the number of nights he has to watch, he can only rely on drinking this to ward off drowsiness.
"Hey, you always drink such strong tea, can your body bear it?" Another jailer was shocked by the sound of Geng Xin putting down the teapot. He raised his head from his arms lying on the table and asked sleepily.
Geng Xin raised his hand to signal him to continue sleeping, and then muttered something, not sure whether it was a reply to himself or to the other party.
“We don’t know how long people like us can live.”
Jailer, alas.
Although Geng Xin himself has never blackmailed prisoners, he has also been given bonuses by the prison boss.
I can't help but take this.
If you don’t take it, you are an outsider, an outsider who needs to be vigilant and excluded.
But every time Geng Xin took it, he would quietly send it to other families whose lives were more difficult. He didn't want anything else but to feel at ease.
Or, I hope that when I die, I can die with a clear conscience.
Just when I thought about dying, I suddenly heard some unusual noises outside the prison door.
It sounded like a heavy object falling to the ground.
Geng Xin patted his colleague opposite who was lying on the table again and fell into a deep sleep. He then took out the sword from his waist and quickly climbed up the stone steps to the cell door.
County Jail. It is located on the left side of the county government's front yard. Rows of fenced-off buildings on the ground hold prisoners with light sentences or awaiting trial.
Underground, serious criminals or death row prisoners awaiting execution in the autumn are imprisoned.
There is a room leading to the death cell of the dungeon.
After passing through the door and entering the house, you are facing an iron door.
This room is the first layer of defense and is also used to search and inspect people who come to visit.
After entering the iron gate, you enter the second line of defense.
Walking down a dozen steps, you arrived at another stone house.
Also facing the second iron door.
Open it again and go down seven or eight stone steps to reach the entrance of the dungeon.
The entrance is where Geng Xin and his colleagues are guarding.
The place is not big, with seven or eight large stone bricks in a square area. There was a table reserved for the jailers.
On the right side of this place, there is an iron gate. After opening it, you will find a prison surrounded by rows of iron bars.
Such supervision cannot be said to be lax.
However, when someone killed the soldier guarding the door and obtained the key, everything became much simpler.
No, it's not that simple. Because the key to the second iron gate on Geng Xin's right was on Geng Xin's body.
This iron door cannot be opened from the outside in, but can only be opened from the inside out.
Geng Xin put his ear against the iron door at this time, listening carefully to what was going on outside.
There is a small window on the iron door, which can reveal half of a person's face. This is a small window that is convenient for passing things and observing.
Geng Xin realized that something had happened, and he even faintly smelled the smell of blood on the tip of his nose. He didn't recklessly open the small window and put his face out.
He just put his ear against the half of the iron door without the small window and tried to listen calmly. The handle of the knife in his hand was clenched tightly.
The colleague who was woken up by him just now couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw him in this state, and quietly came over with his knife drawn.
Asking eyes.
Geng Xin raised an index finger to his mouth, then pointed to his nose, which moved in response, and then pointed to the door. Signal the person to smell it.
The man lay down, put his nose close to the narrow gap between the ground and the outside, and took a deep sniff.
With just one click, his face suddenly turned white.
People outside were killed!
No need to doubt.
There are also two people keeping vigil outside the door. There are also two people inside the first iron gate, which is the first house. There are four people outside that house. There are also soldiers on patrol.
There was no sound of fighting or shouting, only the smell of blood, which meant that one of our own had been killed.
The colleague got up and asked Geng Xin again: What should I do?
This is the last door for them.
Wait for the invading enemies to break in, kill them, and then you can find the key, and the rest won't be a problem.
Geng Xin didn't know what to do.
At this time, he heard someone talking outside.
He spoke loudly and loudly, as if he was not afraid of others hearing him.
In fact, that's right. Although the two-story house seems to be tight, as long as one breaks in and closes the door, the sound will be almost completely isolated.
The second-story houses are all underground...
Further up is the underground prison. They are all separated by stone layers, stone layers made of big rocks.
This is really troublesome.
It is estimated that the people who built this county jail never thought that one day, the people in the county government would become like rats in a cage.
It was originally to isolate the miserable screams of the prisoners, but now it is better.
The cry for help could no longer be heard from the ground.
And along with the sounds outside, a subtle voice sounded.
A sharp blade suddenly passed through the gap between the two doors.
It almost penetrated the jailer's body, causing him to jump back suddenly in fright.
Geng Xin, with sharp eyes and quick hands, slashed hard at the blade of the sharp blade.
The swords used by the jailers were thick and heavy.
With one strike, the thin sharp blade that the opponent stretched out was cut into two pieces.
One piece fell on the stone steps and made a crisp sound.
The other piece was pulled out.
Then, Geng Xin heard shouting outside.
"People inside, listen, we are here to rescue Hu Ming. As long as you let him go, we will retreat. Otherwise, I will lift the pillar and knock down the door. By then, you will all be dead!"
