Chapter 6 Big Thief Sword Brother
Shangguan invited him to have a drink, and his subordinates were of course very happy, especially the young prisoners, who were poor in life. They originally had only two meals a day, but today they could eat three meals, and also eat wine and meat. They were so happy. They served with their calfs at the calf and ran very fast. After about half an hour, the guys from the restaurant outside delivered several tables of wine and food.
The prison guard temporarily set up a few tables outside the prison. Master Huang Cao said that his brothers wanted to invite him, and the guests could not neglect them, so they ate together. So they all said that Cao was angry.
He yelled and started eating. The prison guard was careful. When he heard Huang Junhan asking about the food in the prison intentionally or unintentionally, he immediately understood it. He called a subordinate, took a plate and served a few dishes, filled a pot of wine, and asked him to give it to Zhai Rang.
Everyone saw it and thought that Huang Cao was righteous and respected him even more. They all brought him wine to invite him. However, everyone had a tacit understanding and never mentioned the word Zhai Rang.
Zhai Rang is a native of Dongjun. The Zhai family is deeply rooted in Dongjun and has a great influence, so many people are surrounded by Zhai family. Now that something happened to Zhai Rang, Zhai Rang, who is doing things that are rampant in black and white, will stop if you don’t investigate, and you will fall. Therefore, the defeat of Zhai family is a foregone conclusion. Zhai family fell and the big tree fell. The vines attached to this big tree or the branches and leaves closely connected to this big tree will inevitably be affected. Therefore, many nobles and powerful people in Dongjun and even the surrounding counties and counties have been frightened and anxious all day long. Zhai Rang and Zhai family have become nightmare that they cannot escape.
The group of escorted the guards to receive favors for no reason. They also saw that the prisoners respected Huang Caozhu very much, so they naturally flattered him. Huang Junhan was very friendly, humble and polite, and had the style of a famous scholar who was a stern person.
When I was drunk and called my brothers, I spoke casually. Before I knew it, the topic turned to yesterday's White Horse Crush. This is the current hot topic, and the White Horse People talked about it with relish and enjoyed it.
The group of guards did not hide it, and they said everything they knew. They were from Zhuo County and were affiliated with Zuo Yiwei Mansion. These prisoners were all horse bandits who were rampant in the Northeast Road. The eastern expedition was imminent, and the counties of Northeast Road certainly had to rectify public order. These horse bandits were the first to be arrested. Logically, these prisoners should be executed in Zhuo County, but strangely, the Yingyang Mansion of Zuo Yiwei Mansion, who was the first to rush to Zhuo County to prepare for war, actually received an order from the Zuo Yiwei General Yuwen Shu, asking them to take the prisoners to the East Capital.
General Yuwen Shu of Zuo Yiwei is the official minister of the current emperor, and the absolute confidant of the emperor, and the supreme commander of the Zuo Yiwei Mansion. Such a powerful figure is extremely concerned about such a small matter, which is definitely an unknown secret behind this.
The guards who were ordered to escort the prisoners first took a boat south along the Yongji Canal, intending to go to Dongdu by water. They were fast, safe and leisurely. Unexpectedly, they were robbed and killed by several thieves after arriving in Hebei. After finally experiencing hardships, they arrived at Liyang, the capital of Wei County, very close to Dongdu. They thought they were fine, but they were caught off guard by a group of thieves, and even the ship was burned. They had no choice but to abandon the ship by land and ask for help from the Wei County Government. Seeing the order of the General Yuwen Shu of the Left Guard, Wei County Government, how dare they be negligent, so they immediately sent troops to escort them to Jinkou and sent an official boat to Dongdu. Unexpectedly, they were robbed and killed by a group of thieves on the surface of the Dahe River. In desperation, they had to go near to Baimajin, and the horror scene of the fierce battle at the dock yesterday appeared.
Not to mention that the White Horse Man is puzzled, even this team of escort guards is full of doubts. What important figures are hidden among the prisoners and what important secrets are hidden, and they are being chased and blocked all the way? Where did the thieves who chased along the Yongji Canal come from? Who is the "sacred" instructed? But everyone knows that since this matter is intervened by Yu Wenshu, the powerful and powerful people in the Eastern Capital must be involved. These people who control the fate of the Middle Earth are above and out of reach. How can these ants who are swearing in the prison understand? It doesn't matter to yourself, and they are hang up high. Since that's the case, let's continue to have fun.
The topic is still the prison robbery incident, but the person who was idle this time was the white-haired prisoner. The escort guards were witnessed by themselves, and they are still scared. If the knights of the White Horse Eagle Yang Mansion had not come quickly, they would have been killed by the white-haired prisoner. Thinking of such a cruel death row prisoner hidden by the group of brothers these days, and what is particularly absurd is that the group of brothers actually tried their best to protect him, and many people even gave their lives for it, which made people feel indignant and gritted their teeth.
However, there is no way to avenge this revenge. The Censor of the Supervisor said that he would send these death row prisoners to Dongdu at any cost. Moreover, considering that the closer they are to Dongdu, the means of robbing the thieves may become more and more vicious, the Censor of the Supervisor had already urgently reported to Yuwen Shu, the General of the Zuo Yiwei, asking him to send someone to Baima to respond immediately. It is unknown whether the Censor of the Supervisor is Yuwen Shu, but this is the best opportunity to have a relationship with Yuwen Shu. Even if there is no Censor of the Supervisor, the White Horse County Magistrate will do this. After all, establishing a relationship with Yuwen Shu is equivalent to paving a shortcut to promotion. Who in the officialdom will miss this god-given opportunity?
Someone asked, is the person who is going to kill a prisoner who is a white-haired prisoner?
Some people sneered at it. The white-haired prisoner and his eye-catching white hair are his best identity mark. How could a thief a prisoner admit his mistake?
Someone also asked, the white-haired prisoner is so fierce and kills people like slaughtering a dog. He is definitely not an unknown person. He must be a notorious and full of evil thief on Northeast Road. I wonder if he has a household name?
When the escort guards were excited, a few men who were in high spirits started to speak up.
When the Zhuo County Government handed over these prisoners, it reported the relevant situation in detail to minimize the risk of escort. The white-haired prisoner was one of the prisoners who told him the key. No one knew his name, nor did anyone know his origin. Two years ago, he suddenly appeared outside the frontier, holding a long sword in his hand, burning, killing, and looting all evil. Zhongtu County and the enemy tribes outside the frontier joined forces to chase him, but they were repeatedly escaped, so they became famous. The bandits on the Northeast Road all called him Brother Dao.
Someone asked curiously, "He has white hair. Why does the old man in the evening still do such evil?"
The escort guard burst into laughter, "Who said that a white hair is the old man in the evening? Have you ever seen a young man with white hair?"
The white horse man looked at each other and felt embarrassed. After a long time of twist, the white-haired prisoner turned out to be a burly man with white hair. Thinking about it carefully, he was ashamed. He was all shackled by habitual thinking. He thought that the white-haired must be an old man in his seventies. In fact, there are all kinds of strange things in the world. Some people have black hair, some have white hair, some have white hair, some have blonde, red hair, and even some have white hair overnight. It is recorded that when the famous general Wu Zixu in the Spring and Autumn Period fled from the State of Chu, he grayed his head overnight under Zhaoguan. It can be seen that it is true, but it is very rare.
The topic immediately shifted from the white-haired prisoner, and everyone began to talk about the upcoming expedition to Goguryeo. This was a major event that the Middle-Earth people were concerned about. The former emperor once made an expedition once, but returned in vain. This time the emperor made another expedition with the strength of the whole country, but unfortunately, the war had not yet begun, and the Great Henan and the north and south were hit by floods, and millions of people were affected, which cast a haze on the expedition to Goguryeo. Some even predicted that this was an ominous sign.
When drinking, you must go to the prison routine. At very high moments, everyone was very cautious and no one wanted to lose the job or lose the guy who had eaten. Huang Junhan set an example and entered the cell with two guards and two jailers. When he passed the prison of the white-haired prisoner, Huang Junhan and the two jailers deliberately slowed down, trying to see the prisoner's face clearly to prove his true age.
The white-haired prisoner added double torture instruments, and his handshakes and handcuffs were doubled, and they were fixed on the iron bolts on the wall, making his range of movement very limited. Under the dim light, he could see the blood on his body, and the loose white hair was also covered with blood. His face was covered with long hair and could not be seen at all. In fact, even if he saw it, he probably couldn't see his true face because his face was covered with blood. A wave of unpleasant fishy smell mixed with the smell of the tide and musty smell in the cell filled the air, which was extremely pungent.
The three people who failed to satisfy their curiosity stopped in front of Zhai Rang's cell. Through the wooden fence, you can see Zhai Rang in prison uniform walking with his hands behind his back, calm and calm, as if he was strolling in his back garden in the garden, which made people feel admirable. Zhai Rang was in his forties, of medium figure, handsome and tough, with deep and confident eyes. Even in such extremely bad situations, he still maintained a calm demeanor, as if everything was under control.
The food sent was finished, but the food plate was quietly lying on the ground in the middle of the cell. It was not placed outside the wooden fence as usual and was taken away by the patrol jailers. It can be seen that Zhai Rang had many speculations and expectations for this food plate.
Zhai Rang stood still, turned his eyes to look outside the cell, and faced Huang Junhan's eyes.
The two jailers were very clever. One took a few steps back to act as a warning statement, and the other opened the door of the cell, then walked forward a few steps, and also acted as a warning statement.
Huang Junhan stepped into the cell. Zhai Rang leaned over and picked up the food plate. The two of them whispered in a special code inside the Maharaja. Zhai Rang's brows gradually frowned, and a trace of haze flashed through his eyes. Huang Junhan also looked solemn and worried.
Xu Shiji's story is very interesting, thrilling, and exciting, but the reality is cruel. Today, there are not only more than a dozen serious prisoners in the White Horse Prison, but also a team of cavalry guards from Zuo Yiwei's Mansion, and two entire regiments of Yingyang Guards. They are very cautious. In this case, whether it is escape from prison or robbery, it is impossible.
However, time is passing, Zhai Rang's life is getting shorter and shorter, and many people closely related to Zhai Rang's fate are being swallowed by darkness.
