Three hundred and twentieth chapters deep into the tiger's den
The prison car drove past the main street, and there were still many people gathering on both sides. Logically speaking, on the last day before the New Year, most people should have prepared a reunion dinner at home. There shouldn't be so many people coming out to watch the fun. Unfortunately, this is the reality, and the onlookers all stretched their necks and looked into the prison car.
The reason why so many people can attract attention is, firstly because of the hype of the court, and secondly, the popularity of the person in the prison car. For the people in the capital, not every year can the court see the court execute criminals publicly. Only those who have unforgivable sins will be executed publicly. Almost all such people are men, and very few women will be executed publicly. This is the first time it has been many years.
The woman in the prison car had her hair scattered on her chest, almost covering her appearance. Even if she stared out her eyes, it was difficult for people to see the woman's appearance. However, they could all see the woman's figure clearly. Even if she was wearing prison clothes, she was still so graceful. People believe that Chu Hanqian, the top dancer of Leng Yuezhai, who is famous in the capital, said that she is no longer eighteen or nineteen years old, but her appearance, figure and dancing skills are really unmatched. Even Leng Yuezhai's boss lady is not as good as that. Many people have seen the dancer's dance posture, and almost everyone they have seen is unforgettable.
"Oh, what a pity. Just ask, I'm going to kill her dance. I'm really unforgettable for this life!"
"You are lucky enough. At least you have seen it. I don't have a chance to see it!"
"Isn't it? If I ask me, it will be difficult to make such a top brand with excellent color and art in the next few years, right?"
"So, we all have to take a good look today. This is the first time I have seen a woman beheaded. I don't know if it's as bloody as a man."
"What's the difference? Look at what you said, I want to know why such a beautiful woman was beheaded?"
"You must have not read the imperial edict from the court, right? Didn't it say it was an assassination of the imperial court's official and intends to rebel!"
"Nonsense! How could such a delicate beauty do such a thing?"
"Don't talk too much, the prison car has passed!"
As the prison car drove by, more people began to follow the prison car. The direction they were heading was Mingtai. The originally crowded streets returned to desertification in a short time, and this kind of desertification that originally belonged to the day before the New Year.
Looking at the indentation and messy footprints of the prison car on the road, the original snow had been melted clean, and the lucky ones left behind had lost their original whiteness and became dirty and disgusting. Jiang Weizhen stood in the crowd, and he could hear every word of the people's discussions clearly. Alas, maybe this is the people of the Liang Dynasty. They are kind and ignorant at the same time. What they care about is that they cannot see the future of the country or the changes of the court in front of them, and they will not understand who these victims sacrificed for.
"I just hope Shaoning's operation will go smoothly." Jiang Weizhen looked at the direction of the Ministry of Justice's prison, but in the end he was still
Following the prison car, his task was to watch the entire process of execution.
On the third day after the heavy snow, the weather was no longer as clear and bright as the previous two days. From the early morning, fog gradually began to fall. Four blurred figures flashed out from the dark and hid into Dali Temple. Their target was not the Ministry of Justice, and they all jumped onto the roof of Dali Temple. Since half of the Dali Temple was burned down last time, after several months of repair, some of the buildings have now taken shape, especially the prison cells have almost returned to their original state.
The thin fog had an excellent hidden effect. The four black shadows fell steadily in the yard in front of the Dali Temple cell but did not alarm the prisoners. According to the plan, it should be the time when the Dali Temple cell defense was the weakest. The four black shadows quickly moved to the door of the prison. One of them compared the gestures, and then the four people entered the cell in two groups.
The rebuilt cell is more solid than before. One iron gate after another is distributed on three roads of entry and exit. As long as the key to any of the iron gates is missing, it is impossible to enter and exit the cell.
However, Duan Lang is not at the moment. He pulled out an iron spoon that he had prepared long ago. He read that right. It was really an iron spoon, but it was a lot smaller. It looked similar to the kind of eating spoon that people often use. Duan Lang gently inserted the iron spoon into the lock core, and made several twists and turns. With a click, the first iron door opened. Duan Lang felt very accomplished, and then he continued to open the remaining two iron doors that were visible to the naked eye. It didn't take much effort.
Xuan Shaoning patted Duan Lang on the shoulder and raised his thumb. Duan Lang patted his chest and raised his head. Chen Ming was the first to rush into the cell and began to look carefully. According to the previous plan, there was only one prisoner in the newly built prison, that is, Chu Hanqian. However, this newly built prison was built like a maze, and people were shuttled back and forth. If they did not waste enough time and energy, it would be difficult to find their own goals.
Chen Ming snatched the iron spoon from Duan Lang's hand. Originally, Duan Lang planned to show off again, but now there were no one to eat. Xuan Shaoning didn't understand what Chen Ming used to do with this iron spoon, which was just used to unlock the lock. Chen Ming knocked the iron spoon on an iron pillar, and knocked it six times in total. Those who knew a little bit of the rhythm could understand that this was the basic tone of Gong Shang Jiao Zhengyu in the music score.
I understand! Xuan Shaoning had to admire Chen Ming's understanding of Chu Hanqian. As he expected, a moment later, the same six sounds of knocking came into his ears. This was Chu Hanqian's response! The four of them immediately ran over the direction of the sound. This simple melody appeared regularly every once in a while. The four of them quickly found the corresponding cell based on their hearing.
"Han Qian!" Chen Ming rushed to the prison door and looked at Chu Hanqian, who was still in a human form. Although she was covered in bruises, her hair was messy, and her face was pale.
"You are so risky!" Chu Hanqian's voice was obviously hoarse when she said this, and there was no longer any singing orioles. "How did you know that I was locked up here?"
"Stop talking, we'll do these things
Let's explain later, now you can back a little." Chen Ming handed the iron spoon back to Duan Lang. After Duan Lang took it, he immediately began to aim at the lock core and tinker. The lock core was obviously a bit difficult than the previous iron door. Duan Lang had been struggling for a long time, and even his own sweat dripped on the cold cell ground.
The crack sound finally came as expected. Duan Lang finally breathed out, pulled out an iron spoon and pushed the door hard, and the door opened in front of everyone. Chen Ming was the first to rush into the cell and picked up Chu Hanqian. Seeing that her hands and feet were shackles, he had to look at Duan Lang again.
"I'll try!" Duan Lang immediately tried to shackles. Xuan Shaoning looked at the weak Chu Hanqian and finally couldn't help asking: "Senior Sister Hanqian, why are you so risky?"
Chu Hanqian leaned on Shen Ming's shoulder, "Ye Kai, I will never bypass the person who killed Ye Kai!" When he said this, Chu Hanqian seemed to be full of strength, and what burst out from her eyes was the fire of revenge.
"Senior Sister Han Qian, we will definitely avenge Senior Brother Ye. We will rescue you first now!"
"We? Shaoning, do you know why I missed it? My dancing posture can confuse all the men in this world, but there is only one kind of exception."
When he heard this, even Duan Lang stopped the work in his hand and looked up at Chu Hanqian. He also wanted to know who could not be attracted by Chu Hanqian's dance.
"That's the one who recognizes me and understands me!" Chu Hanqian wanted to say his name, but she finally held it back.
"Someone in the court knows you? And he exposes you?" Xuan Shaoning asked back. He didn't know why he felt his heart trembled when he asked this. He obviously didn't know the answer.
"Of course, you all know each other..." Chu Hanqian couldn't help but burst into tears in the end. She really knew whether it was right or wrong to say this, but she had to tell these people that that person was no longer the person they knew at the time.
"Senior Sister Han Qian, who are you talking about?"
"Duan Lang, please open the shackles quickly. Our time is limited!"
In the end, Shen Ming interrupted their conversation. He didn't want to worry about it anymore at this time. After all, they were still in danger.
Duan Lang's craftsmanship is really not a blow, and the shackles were finally settled. Shen Ming carried Chu Hanqian on his back and ran towards the prison door under the cover of the other three. It was indeed unusual for this newly built cell to have no guards, but they all believed that the news they received was reliable because they all believed that the person who released the news was reliable.
When the five people ran to the door of the cell, the originally dim yard was brightly lit, and all the high-foot lanterns standing on both sides were lit, dispersing the mist to the greatest extent. The sudden brightness caught the five people off guard, and they couldn't open their eyes at all. They only heard the voice of one person.
