Ye Qing stuffed the key into his arms and stepped into the corridor leading to the cage.
Then he slowed down his pace, walking silently like a ghost.
At the same time, he took off the official black clothes from his upper body and tied them around his waist, revealing the gray cotton clothes that he had washed to starch white as a lining.
Her hair turned into a high ponytail with the movements of her hands. Her palms were stained with dirt on the wall in the middle of the cage, and she wiped them on her face, hiding her face.
Not long after, Ye Qing, who was completely different from the day before, stood in front of Wang Datou's cage.
He picked up the stones and threw them on the sleeping Wang Datou.
"Who!"
A voice of dissatisfaction came from the mouth of Wang Datou, who was awakened. He sat up and, through the dim candlelight, discovered a gray figure in front of the cage.
He frowned subconsciously, took a step back, and stared at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing lowered his voice and said, "Follow me."
Saying that, Ye Qing took out the key from his arms and gently opened the copper lock.
This scene made Wang Datou's eyes shine brightly.
He grasped the iron chain tightly with both hands, trying hard not to make any noise from the iron chain, and slowly and slowly moved closer to the cage, but stopped three steps away from the cell door.
He asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"
Faced with Wang Datou's suspicion, Ye Qing remained silent and carefully removed the iron chain that tied the cage. Although some noises were still made, there was nothing unusual about the snoring around him.
After doing all this, Ye Qing took the chain and turned around to leave, whispering:
"Follow up!"
Wang Datou looked at the chainless door, his eyes flickered for a few seconds, then he gritted his teeth, grasped the chain on his wrist with both hands to avoid making a loud noise, and walked forward quickly.
The moment he opened the cell door and stepped out.
call!
The wind blew.
Wang Datou felt a coldness in his throat, and then indescribable pain and suffocation filled his mind.
Wow!
He twisted around hard and waved his hands, trying to break free.
But when the arms that were not imprisoned were waving, only the chains made a lot of noise.
Getting rid of it is simply futile.
Ye Qing, who was strangling Wang Datou's neck from behind, had no expression on his face. He freed his hand and slammed Wang Datou's temple.
The vital part was struck, and Wang Datou was instantly dizzy, and his struggling strength weakened.
Ye Qing dodged, appeared in the cell, and dragged him back into the cage.
At the same time, he hooked his toes and the open cell door slowly closed.
Then he suddenly took a step back, grabbed Wang Datou's neck with both arms, and pulled him to the ground.
Bang!
The huge force caused Wang Datou, who just wanted to break free and was unsteady on his feet, to fall into the dirty cage.
The back of his head hit the ground hard, causing Wang Datou to gasp and start to tremble all over.
Along with this, the chains on his neck and hands jingled.
The sleeping prisoners in the surrounding cages also noticed something was wrong.
They climbed onto the cage one after another and looked into Wang Datou's room. Only the prisoners in the cage opposite Wang Datou saw a hazy gray figure.
They all asked dissatisfiedly.
"what happened?"
"Do you want anyone to sleep at night?"
"What are you making a fuss about? You're looking for death, right?"
At this time, Ye Qing was already sitting on Wang Datou. He covered Wang Datou's mouth with one hand, formed a palm with the other, and stabbed his throat heavily.
Wang Datou was immediately in agony. His mouth was covered and his throat was hit hard. He could not scream or say a word at all.
When everyone speaks.
Ye Qing lay down and said in a low voice: "Sorry, I had a nightmare."
The voice, which was different from Wang Datou's, did not attract much attention.
The sky was dark, and the group of people were also sleepy. They didn't notice that the gray clothes on Ye Qing's body were different from the white on the prison uniforms.
One by one, their sweet dreams were disturbed, but they didn't say anything and went back to sleep.
At this time.
Ye Qing was shocked when he found that Wang Datou underneath him was motionless.
He hurriedly checked Wang Datou's breathing, and found that there was still some breath left, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He counted another hundred, and then stood up after noticing snoring and grunting ringing around him again.
Ye Qing looked at Wang Datou, who was about to be killed by him, with an expressionless expression. He dragged him to the side of the cage, took off his clothes, imprisoned his hands with his pants, and soaked Wang Datou's wine in Gong's bucket with his shirt. Shit and urine.
Then he opened the cell door and walked out. He used the cell door chain to tie his neck to the wooden pillar of the cell door.
In the dimness, Wang Datou's face was visibly red, and his limbs that had not moved due to coma began to twitch.
Ye Qing covered his face with the prison clothes soaked in feces and urine.
After doing all this skillfully, Ye Qing turned around and walked out, walking in the dark and damp corridor.
Ye Qing, who had no expression on his face, thought to himself: "Another life."
Thinking about it, his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
Inside the prison cell in Huaiyang.
The hair was tied up again, the official put on his black clothes again, and put his hands into the bucket.
Wow!
The crystal water splash fell on his palm, taking away the dirt that had not been wiped off his face, fell to the ground, penetrated into the stone slab, and disappeared.
After a few breaths, the calloused hands became clean again.
Ye Qing, whose pupils were dazzling, suddenly didn't realize it and still rubbed his hands vigorously.
"Qing Xiaolang, why do you act like a bitch and take so long to wash your hands?"
"That's right, gentlemen, just wash yourself as you like."
"Come and drink! If you don't come, we will finish drinking this good wine."
The refocused pupils indicated that Ye Qing was back to normal.
He still had that gentle face and an apologetic smile. He walked to the table, picked up the wine bowl left for him, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Ah, good wine, good wine. I ate too much at Sunji Noodle House in the evening and suddenly got abdominal pain. Please take care of me, two brothers."
"Hey, it's normal for people to have three urgent needs. Come on, come on, let's go!"
"There's still more than half a quarter of an hour before the value change. Do you want to continue drinking later, or what should I say?"
"Let's drink somewhere else. I have to drink to my heart's content today."
"Brothers, you go and have a drink. I have to go back to the government office to rest."
While talking, Ye Qing looked at the engraved clock placed in the corner and saw that it was already midnight in less than half an hour.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, he sighed: "I haven't used this method for five years, so I am really unfamiliar."
Subsequently.
An unknown jailer walked in around midnight.
Jailer Zhou Sheng yawned and said:
"Old Zhao, it's shift change, give me the key!"
"Hey, Lao Wang is here too. Good guy, this delicious and delicious food doesn't even call me!"
Then, he looked at Ye Qing, who was dressed in black clothes of the torture chamber, cupped his fists and asked:
"This one looks strange. May I ask who you are?"
Ye Qing stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Ye Qing, the clerk of the torture chamber, today is the first day on duty."
Wang Liu stood up, carrying the wine jar and pouring wine for Zhou Sheng, while muttering:
"Hey, Lao Zhou, don't talk so much. Have a drink first. Hey, there's no more wine."
“You’re still drinking when you’re out of wine!”
Zhou Sheng rolled his eyes and took the key handed over by Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu grinned and said: "If you don't want to drink, don't drink. Let's drink somewhere else. Lao Zhou, let's leave first. Let's drink together another day."
"Go away quickly. Don't call me when you're drinking. I'll get annoyed just by looking at you!"
…
One hour at a time.
At Sun Kee Noodle House, Ye Qing supported two drunkards and said to Sun Erniang who was clearing the table:
"Ms. Sun, I'm sorry to bother you, but these two insist on coming to your place for more drinks."
"Ms. Sun, get the wine, get it, get the good wine!"
"Yes, good, good wine, I, I can still drink it!"
The two people, whose last trace of consciousness had been taken away by the night wind, drooped their heads, drooled, waved their arms, and shouted inarticulately.
Not surprised, Sun Erniang stuffed the rag into her belt, hurriedly stepped forward to pick them up, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, that's all they are. Ye Li, do you want to drink some too?"
The mature woman's charming eyes fell on Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was a little embarrassed and showed his embarrassment, and quickly waved his hands and said:
"No, no, I have to go back to the government office to rest."
Sun Erniang, whose eyes were lost for a moment, smiled and said: "Okay, you can rest early."
Ye Qing hurriedly stepped out of the way, just as he arrived at the door.
A group of Yangzhou guards wearing armor and holding weapons walked into Sun Ji Noodle House majestically.
Ye Qing quickly turned aside to avoid these five people.
The unsmiling team leader looked at Ye Qing critically.
When he saw the official's black clothes and his young and handsome face, a slight smile appeared on his face and he nodded to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing also nodded and turned around to leave.
Walking on the empty streets.
Ye Qing heard chatter coming from Sun Kee Noodle House behind him.
"The torture chamber official looks very young, does he know Mrs. Sun?"
"He is a new official. Not only is he young, he is also handsome, humble and polite, and he is also a scholar!"
"Hey, scholar, your future will be bright in the future!"
The sound gradually became smaller and finally disappeared.
call!
A gust of wind blew by, not as cold as the night wind, but with a wisp of dampness and coldness.
Ye Qing raised his head and saw that the night sky with bright stars and moon had disappeared without knowing when.
rustle!
The fine rain fell down and landed on Ye Qing's face.
Ye Qing, who narrowed his eyes slightly, opened his arms and murmured:
"The first spring rain of this year has finally begun."
"The spring rain that falls at night is as precious as oil, and the wind blows the earth and nourishes all things."
"Spring seed, don't worry."
