Chapter 71 Prison Robbery

The cell in the Niesi yamen is professional, equivalent to the No. 1 Prison in Jiangdong Province. When you climb down the stairs, there is a torture room, which is the place where the prisoners are tortured. There are thick iron chains hanging on the wall and various torture instruments placed on the ground. Liu Yanzhi only recognized the tiger bench, and of course there was a stove and a soldering iron. However, the stove did not make a fire, and the soldering iron was also cold. There were dark red marks on the ground, probably old blood.

Walking further forward, the alley is deep and dark, with underground prisons on both sides. The wooden fence with thick arms is so dark that it is invisible to see people. The oil lamp is like beans, and it is useless to shine.

A serene sound was made in the cell. Someone was lying on the fence and shouting weakly, and Liu Yanzhi looked closely and saw that the man had a disheveled hair and had a haggard face, which looked like a ghost. He was so shocked that he took two steps back. Unexpectedly, his clothes were caught again. It turned out to be a prisoner in the cell on his back.

The Neiss Prison in the late night was like a drop of water entering a boiling oil pan, and countless hands stretched out from the fence, either sad, angry or hysterical. In short, it was just one sentence: shout for justice!

Liu Yanzhi identified the people in the cell one by one, all men, and no female prisoners. He suddenly realized that even the Qing Dynasty emphasized the separation of men and women, and this was a male prison.

"Mr. Lin, Prefect Lin." Liu Yan shouted.

"Here, here!" Someone answered at the end of the cell. He was about to step forward, but his arm was grabbed. In desperation, he pulled back hard. The oil lamp fell to the ground and was extinguished. The cell returned to dead silence and endless darkness.

After a while, Liu Yanzhi's eyes adapted to the darkness. Logically, such places without a trace of light cannot be seen. He had no time to consider the evolution of his eyes, so he went straight forward and came to the cell at the end. He carefully identified it. There were straws in the prison, pots and pots were placed in the corners, and two people were shrunk in the corners. It was Master Zhou and Butler Lin.

"Where is the magistrate?" Liu Yan asked directly.

The master groped over and walked to the fence and said tremblingly: "The master is not sure where he is, his life and death are uncertain. Who is the master?"

"I'm here to save people." Liu Yan said straight, "Where is your lady?"

"Miss is in the women's prison." The housekeeper also touched it. Seeing that they looked, they had obviously suffered a lot, without covering their bodies, and bloodstains were covered with blood.

There was an iron lock hanging on the cell. Liu Yanzhi tried the key and finally opened the cell, one with one hand, and helped the two prisoners out.

When he arrived at the torture room, the light had just lit up. When the housekeeper saw that it was him, he rushed over and fought and scolded: "Thieves, you are the ones who have caused the master's family to be destroyed!"

Liu Yanzhi felt guilty and let him beat and scold him. Master Zhou was a wise man. He dragged his housekeeper away and said, "Didn't Liu Yishi come to save us? Rescue the lady and the two wives first and then make a fuss."

When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately stopped. Liu Yanzhi asked them to hide and rescue Miss Lin alone. The female prison was actually next door. The door was closed and the snoring inside was thunderous. Liu Yanzhi did it as usual, and used a dagger to open the door bolt, sneak in quietly, guards were on duty outside the prison area to sleep. He was a big and thick girl, and he snored louder than a man.

Liu Yanzhi took the key from the wall and opened the door and entered the prison. The layout of the women's prison is the same as that of the men's prison, but there are relatively fewer cells. It did not cause a sensation when hearing someone coming in, but it was obvious that there were many eyes looking at him in the darkness.

He soon found the cell where Miss Lin was. The environment here was much better, with bedding and bedding, and a very small window that was out of reach on the wall. The two concubines were sleeping on the bed. Miss Lin sat on the ground and looked at the small window. The moonlight shone on her face, feeling indescribable pain.

"Miss Lin, I'll take you out." Liu Yanzhi whispered.

Lin Su turned her head, blinked her eyes, and suddenly got up and rushed to the fence, tears falling like rain: "Save me, I knew you would come to save me."

Liu Yan took the key to unlock the lock, but these keys were all wrong. In desperation, he simply pulled the iron chain of the door. The door opened. Lin Su pushed the two concubines to wake up. The two were dizzy and didn't know what was going on, so they got up and followed them.

Suddenly, a sharp female voice came from the cell next to her: "Come on, the prisoner has run away!"

Liu Yanzhi was furious. Confucius was right. It was hard to raise a woman and a villain. The female prisoner was jealous of others being rescued and actually did such a move. He was definitely not a good person. He took out a money dart and hit him, which was stuck in the female prisoner's throat. There was no sound at all.

As soon as the four of them walked out of the prison, they saw the fat black guard waving his sticks and hit him. Liu Yan didn't even look at him and punched him down.

"Don't kill her, she's a good person." Lin Su said anxiously.

"I just knocked it out." Liu Yanzhi thought to himself that Miss Lin was really kind by nature.

The noise in the prison did not reach the outside, and the yard was still silent. When the master and the housekeeper saw the lady and others, he cried and choked speechlessly.

"Now is not the time to speak, go out and talk." Liu Yan urged.

The prison is inside the Nisi yamen. When you go out, you have to pass three gates and three high walls. The master and the housekeeper are both old men with no power. The two concubines are wrapped around their feet and cannot walk fast. Miss Lin is naturally strong, but she is weak. Liu Yanzhi has to take care of the five people and is incompetent.

"Take the lady away first." said the housekeeper, "Don't worry about us."

"I'm the one who's in prison. I won't leave any of you behind." Liu Yan said straight. He weighed his strength and looked at the size of these people. They were all slim models, and the heaviest ones would not exceed 120 kilograms. So he decided to take the stupidest but safest approach.

Liu Yanzhi took five people to take turns to carry out the yamen of the Nishishi. When he was carrying the housekeeper and the master, he also said that he would have some trouble when he carved two concubines. These two concubines were a woman in her thirties and a woman in her twenties. They were both born in a small family, and they abide by the wife's morality and obeyed the men and women's teachings and did not marry each other. How could they let a strange man carry them?

"If you don't leave, I'll leave." At the critical moment, Miss Lin stepped forward and lay on Liu Yan's shoulder. She was not a big girl who was not married. The two aunts looked at each other and shyly agreed.

Liu Yan raised Lin Su straight on his back, feeling as if nothing was on his back. Miss Lin estimated that she weighed up to 70 pounds, and she was really slim and outrageous.

"Catch it, we're leaving." Liu Yan raised his anger and pulled himself to the wall. He could hear Miss Lin's low scream. Miss Lin's mother who never walked out of the door had never seen such a world. She was carried by a hero and a hero on the back of the eaves. If she hadn't suffered a great disaster, she would have been so happy that she would have been dizzy.

After putting Lin Su outside the yamen wall, Liu Yanzhi ran twice and carved the two concubines out. Finally, the task was completed. It was already dawn. The master was timid and frightened that his legs were shaking like sieve crumbs, making it difficult to walk.

Where to go is a big problem. Liu Yanzhi has the ability to carry them out of the yamen, but it is much more difficult to leave the city. While hesitating, the master spoke: "It's dark under the light, go back to the back house of the government office."

The core area of ​​Orie City is these yamen. The government office and Nieshi are not far away. Six people walk around the wall and stop and stop. A quarter of an hour later, they arrive at the back door of the government office. Liu Yanzhi climbs over the wall and opens the door and lets them in. The five people finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After Lin Huaiyuan was dismissed and investigated, the court had not had time to appoint a new prefect, and Lord Lin's position was temporarily replaced by the Tongzhi of our government. Tongzhi would not live here if he had his own house. The maids and servants were dismissed when the house was raided, so the house behind the government office is now empty.

Six people entered the main room. This was originally a place where the master rested. Now the master has a lawsuit and his life is hard to protect himself. The house is empty and all the valuables have been confiscated. The two concubines fell in love with the scene. When they think of their miserable prospects, they couldn't help sobbing. Instead, Miss Lin was calm and calm, but she just held back her tears.

"What happened after I left?" Liu Yanzhi asked Master Zhou. Master Lin's right-hand man, and he must know the whole story.

The master said, "You guys robbed the court and shocked the governor. Is this the case?"

Liu Yanzhi nodded: "Yes, the governor instigated the boxers to slaughter innocent people. We couldn't see it. He saved a foreign mother and daughter and hundreds of religious people who were about to be burned to death."

Master Zhou nodded: "That's it. You four are innocent faces, but those horses were recognized. After a while, they found Lord Lin's head. Of course, Lord Lin refused to admit it. Governor Wei had a slight relationship with my family, so he took advantage of the situation and arranged for the censor to impeach the Lord. There was no leak and it rained all night. The wolf-hearted man named Zhang saw that the situation was not good and sold his owner for honor, so he reported the secret of the hidden person in the East Flower Hall to the governor. Alas..."

With a long sigh, Master Zhou was reluctant to say the following words, and two tears came out of his eyes. Lin Huaiyuan was his benefactor, and the benefactor fell. Even if he survived in the world, he would have to hide his name and die in a foreign land. For a middle-aged man who was already forty years, his career prospects were all over.

"Where is my master?" Liu Yanzhi was more concerned about Zhou Jiarui's whereabouts.

"He..." The housekeeper answered the words and snorted mockingly, "Your master doesn't know who the sacred is. He woke up the next day after you left. He pretended to be stupid, and then he blew up the sky and even pretended to be the current saint. Even the master was deceived by him and almost betrothed the lady to him. My family suffered such a disaster, but he was safe and had nothing to do. He ran away with oil on his feet and kidnapped Xiao Cui away."

Liu Yanzhi was speechless and was silent for a while and said, "It's over. You guys can go far away. I can give it to you."

"Who wants your bad money? My master was a steadfast official, and it was your disaster that you brought." The butler was excited and pointed at Liu Yanzhi with a desperate intention.

The concubine who was crying beside her was also excited and pointed at Liu Yan and said straight: "Tell me, who are you? Why did you cheat us so miserably!"

Lin Su also looked at Liu Yanzhi quietly, looking forward to his answer.
