Chapter 291 Someone Escaped From Prison
As if he had grasped a clue, Zhao was overjoyed and woke up instantly. He slapped the chair with his palm and laughed wildly.
"Hahahahaha..."
Boom.
Zhao was too excited and didn't control his true energy well. When he slapped his palm, the chair under his butt broke and sawdust flew. By the time he reacted, it was too late.
The window of the room near the back door was opened, and Zhuque's charming voice came, "Old Nine! It's the middle of the night, why are you practicing in the yard instead of sleeping?"
"Don't bother me!"
"It's so noisy! I want to sleep!"
"Sleep!" Zhao stretched her body and turned to walk outside.
Zhuque leaned against the window, her long hair scattered and her shoulders half exposed, and she was full of charm. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked in wonder: "Where are you going? Do you want Baihu to follow you?"
"No need. Let's go to the prison."
Prison? Although Zhuque was a little confused, it was normal for Zhao to do it personally because it was something Lu Wenyu had personally instructed. Besides, the prefectural yamen, which was not far from the prison, was guarded by Xuanwu, so nothing could happen.
He simply ignored it, closed the window, covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.
When he walked out of the yard, he met two yamen runners and told them to clean up the yard. Without waiting for the two yamen runners to respond, Zhao hurried out of the post station and ran towards the prison.
"Sir Zhao, you..."
Before the jailer finished speaking, Zhao interrupted with a big wave of his hand: "Open the door quickly, I have something important to interrogate the prisoner, hurry!"
The jailer hurriedly opened the door and said respectfully: "Sir, please."
After taking the cell key and saying "no need to follow", Zhao bent down and went into the prison. Several jailers were left standing there in a daze, looking at each other.
Holding a lantern, he carefully searched through the cells one by one. His purpose was to find a prisoner who looked intact and had the possibility of escaping.
Although it was acting, it had to be at least realistic. After all, no one is stupid. No one would believe that a person who doesn't even look like a human being escaped from prison.
The lantern light was not bright, and Zhao looked carefully, so it took a lot of time to find a Hu man who looked healthy and had some flesh on his face.
He stood outside the cell and looked for a while, nodded, and felt that there was nothing wrong with him. He knocked on the cell door and asked, "Can you hear me?"
"Mmmmm..."
Because he was poisoned twice, the people in the cell could only sob intermittently. Judging from the expression on his face, he should be afraid or terrified.
Yes, Xuanwu's cruel methods, let alone him, even Zhao, who was used to torture, was afraid. Fatty, what a torture!
Shaking his head, he opened the cell door and walked in. Standing in front of him, Zhao Jue sighed and said sadly: "Alas, to put it bluntly, it's all the same whether you die early or late. Why don't I give you a way out? This will not only help you, but also help me. What do you think?"
"Hmm, hmm, wow, wow..." The prisoner in iron shackles shook his hands and feet violently, and the iron chains were jingling. He was obviously very excited.
But Zhao Jue didn't care about his feelings. He patted his bloody face and smiled: "If you don't object, I will take it as your consent. Thank you."
His palm slowly moved down and pinched his neck. Zhao didn't use his true energy, but only relied on the strength of his hands to break the neck bones one by one.
The slight crackling sound continued in the dim cell. Until the prisoner's head drooped weakly and he was out of breath, Zhao Jue loosened his palm and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his hands.
While unlocking the shackles, he sighed, "If I continue to do good deeds every day, I will become a Buddha sooner or later!"
Turning around and walking out of the cell, he walked towards the prison door step by step. He returned the key to the jailer, "Go in and check it out, don't be careless and make mistakes."
"Okay."
Leaving two jailers to guard the door, the others walked into the prison holding lanterns.
As soon as the door closed, the two jailers who were guarding the door had a flash of light in their eyes, and then collapsed to the ground and fainted. Zhao clapped his hands, opened the door and walked in.
"Bang bang bang..."
After a few sounds of falling to the ground, Zhao's figure appeared in the darkness. He kicked the jailer who fell to the ground and made sure that they had all fainted. Then he lifted his feet and walked around the jailer and walked to the front of the originally opened cell.
Put on a bigger boot and pushed the door in. After carrying the body, he left a series of chaotic footsteps in the cell, and then left a few more footprints with the body.
Until the door, he put the body and boots into the space, walked out of the door and looked back carefully for a long time, and when he was sure that there was no flaw, he turned around and took a stance.
He gathered the true energy in his palm and pushed out a palm towards the sky.
"I should faint too." Zhao murmured, blowing a large cloud of smoke upwards.
In the white smoke, he swallowed his throat and found a jailer to lie down as a pillow. Gritting his teeth and swallowing a pill with an uncomfortable look, he fainted with his head tilted.
In the prefectural government office, Xuanwu had just covered himself with a quilt and closed his eyes, intending to have a good sleep. The sudden fluctuation of true energy made him frown, and he wanted to feel it carefully, but no more fluctuations came.
He suddenly opened his eyes and cursed in a low voice: "What the hell is this? Can you let me sleep for a while?"
Before he got out of bed and put on his shoes, he heard one after another "Someone, someone escaped from prison!" Xuanwu's face changed, and he hurriedly put on his shoes, not caring about his official uniform and hat, and hurriedly pushed the door open to go out.
He happened to run into a few yamen runners, who saw Xuanwu coming out and shouted impatiently: "Sir, there is news from the prison that a criminal has escaped!"
"It's just a person who ran away, why are you in such a hurry? Just catch him back, how far can he run?" Xuanwu waved his hand disdainfully, and even had the leisure to tie his belt.
"Sir, the imperial envoy is still in there."
"What?" Xuanwu was startled, and he didn't even bother to tidy up his appearance. He quickly circulated his true energy and flew towards the prison.
After landing, he pushed away the jailers surrounding him, and blew away the faint white smoke with his true energy. He helped Zhao Jue, who was lying on the ground, up and down, and found nothing abnormal.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, turned around and ordered: "Go in and check if there is anything abnormal. What are you standing there for? Go in! Hurry up!"
Footsteps sounded one after another, and Xuanwu carried Zhao Jue on his back and flew to the post station without daring to stop.
"Baihu, Zhuque, stop sleeping, come out!"
Soon, Zhuque rubbed his sleepy eyes and Baihu pushed open the door with a drunken smell. Seeing the disheveled Xuanwu carrying a person on his back, they all asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you running around with someone on your back in the middle of the night?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What do you think is wrong? Is it so difficult for you to follow Master Zhao? If I hadn't come quickly, you would have died outside the prison!"
Xuanwu was very excited and kept nagging at the two people. He was nagging so hard that he couldn't point at two people with one hand, so he just used both hands, one for each hand.
He was nagging hard, but Zhao Jue behind him was not so comfortable. No one was holding him up, and he fell down directly.
A "pop" sounded, interrupting Xuanwu's nagging. He felt nothing behind him, and just as he was about to turn around, he heard Zhao Jue's voice.
"Fuck, who is this grandson? How dare you hit me with a club while I was sleeping?"
