At this time, the prison was almost burned through from the inside. If there was anyone inside, it would probably be over.
Zhang Bao did not expect that such a situation would occur.
Did the government officials set the fire deliberately, or was it something done by the rebels?
Could it be that Lao He did it himself?
Zhang Bao didn't have time to think too much, he picked up the knife and rushed towards the prison.
As a result, just as he was about to enter the door, a cold light struck his face.
Zhang Bao dodges quickly and is about to counterattack with his sword.
Take a closer look.
In front of him was Lao He, who was covered in black smoke and was attacking him with a ferocious expression.
"It's me, Uncle He!"
"Stop hitting me!"
In this moment of confrontation, Zhang Bao was really no match for Lao He who was going all out.
He was almost hacked by Lao He.
"ah?"
"Master?!"
"How did you come?"
When Lao He heard Zhang Bao's voice, he quickly stopped.
"Do not talk!"
"Follow me first!"
Zhang Bao pulled off his scarf and led Lao He all the way to the dark alley next to him.
Then he hurriedly took off his tight night clothes.
"Uncle He!"
"what's the situation?"
"Why is the prison on fire?"
Zhang Bao asked in a panic.
"Don't mention it!"
"I accidentally spread too much oil and almost burned myself!"
"What a damn bad luck!"
Lao He spat out helplessly.
Zhang Bao's eyes widened when he heard this.
turn out to be.
After Lao He was arrested.
No one came to look at him, and he was still wearing a pair of shackles. Even if he wanted to run away, he couldn't escape, which made Lao He suffer a lot.
There is nothing we can do about this.
After all, the day Lao He was just captured, he encountered the rebel army attacking the city.
Both the county magistrate and the government officials were busy with the affairs of the rebel army.
As soon as Lao He threw it into the prison, no one took care of it.
It was hard to wait until the rebel army's matter was over.
Only then did I remember that there was another Lao He Lai.
A yamen servant cursed and came over to remove the shackles of Lao He. Before he left, Lao He pinched his neck and left him behind. He buried him in a corner with dry grass, and no one noticed at all.
What kind of honest person is Lao He?
He would not just be locked up and then killed. When he was in Hejian Village, it was to protect Zhang Bao.
But during this time, Lao He finally understood.
This young master himself is simply smarter than a monkey!
You don’t need your own cover at all!
As long as you take good care of yourself, that will be the greatest help to Zhang Bao.
Therefore, Lao He decided to take advantage of the darkness to fight his way out of the prison, return to Baoyue Restaurant to get some money, and go out of the city during the chaos. He would be happy for a while and then come back after the news passed.
The result was unexpected.
Operational error.
The lamp oil in the prison had just been changed and was so full that Lao He almost burned himself into a roast chicken.
Just when the results are coming out.
I saw a dark figure rushing in with a knife. I subconsciously thought it was the government officials who heard the noise and rushed over. Then I took action and almost chopped Zhang Bao who came to rob the prison.
Zhang Bao swallowed hard after hearing Lao He's description.
All plans are in vain with Lao He.
This Lao He is really too fierce! Tell me, what else are you afraid of doing?
Just when Zhang Bao and Lao He were in the alley.
A group of people hurried over.
But it's not a government official, but Ma Yuanming's subordinate.
Now Ma Yuanming almost lives on the city wall. As soon as he found out that there was a fire in the city, he immediately sent a team of people over.
In Ma Yuanming's view.
I thought they were spies from the rebel army who had not been cleared out before and were still causing trouble in the county government.
Immediately afterwards, a group of disheveled government officials came over in a panic.
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
"Who is causing trouble here?"
The leading government officials were dumbfounded when they saw the prison being burned like this.
They knew before that the captured Lao He was still inside.
From the looks of it, it was probably burned to ashes.
"We still don't know if it was caused by the rebel army."
"Where is your lord now?"
"Hurry up and ask the adults to organize people to put out the fire, and then look for clues!"
One of Ma Yuanming's subordinates said to the leading officials.
"Isn't it just a prison on fire?"
"Look how scared you are!"
"It's okay, it's okay, we adults are busy, this little thing is nothing!"
"I won't bother these brothers anymore!"
The leader of the Yamen raised his hands to Ma Yuanming's men and said.
They are best at choosing what to eat.
If the county magistrate is stubborn, they will naturally not take these soldiers seriously.
In the eyes of these government officials.
My own county master is a relative of the Sheriff of Beihai County. Who dares to offend him?
When Ma Yuanming's men saw this attitude, they immediately walked away and reported to Ma Yuanming.
Inside the alley.
Zhang Bao and Lao He listened quietly to the movement in the distance.
"Uncle He, in my opinion, this county magistrate is most likely drinking too much again!"
"Are we going to kill the county magistrate directly now? Then we will blame the rebels!"
Zhang Bao said with a frown.
When he was on the tower today, Zhang Bao had some ideas, but it was difficult to do anything in front of Ma Yuanming. But it was different now. The moon was high and the wind was high, so it was the right time to kill.
"What are you waiting for?!"
"I've been waiting impatiently for a long time!"
Lao He wiped the knife with a smile.
Zhang Bao grinned and took advantage of the night to touch towards the Yamen.
Lao He didn't even think about it that much.
Following Zhang Bao, he rushed towards the county government office with the knife he took from the government servant's hand.
After a while, the two came to the outer wall of the Yamen.
"I can't go up!"
"Why didn't you realize this courtyard wall was so high before?"
Lao He looked at the tall courtyard wall and said helplessly.
How could he know?
This was last time.
After the governor left, the county magistrate specially strengthened it here.
Just to protect your own safety.
Now relying on the words of Lao He and Zhang Bao, unless they go directly through the gate.
Otherwise, it would really be impossible to get in.
"Uncle He, let's just set a fire here and burn them to death. In this way, those government officials will not consider us."
"Maybe I thought it was the rebels hiding in the county government."
"You go back and hide in the cellar first, and you will die without any evidence."
Zhang Baola said to Lao He who was scratching his head and scratching his head.
Old He thought.
That seems to be the case too.
The yamen officer whom I killed in the prison before was about the same height as myself.
In this way, even if they found out, they would just think that they were burned to death in the fire.
There will be no further investigation.
What a great idea!
Lao He grinned and started to set fire to it.
"Um?"
"who?!"
At this moment.
Several people came over from the Yamen, dressed in black, looking at Lao He and Zhang Bao who were lighting the fire with unkind expressions.
