Chapter 358: Going deep into the tiger's den
The Guicheng Duwei Mansion is divided into three areas: front, middle and back. The front yard is spacious and has always been used for exercises, while the middle yard is where the residence and dining hall are located.
Behind the Central Plains is a high wall, with only one door leading to the back. In fact, this high wall divides the Duwei Mansion into two tall areas.
Behind the high wall is the Turtle City Prison.
Turtle City Prison has always been a place for holding prisoners. Except for serious criminals who are sent to the Duhu Mansion for detention, some ordinary criminals are often detained in Turtle City Prison.
The prison is divided into three prisons: A, B and C.
As we all know, the conditions in Jia Zi Prison are the most superior. Under the auspices of Qin Xiao, Jia Zi Jian has always been regarded as a prison inn. As long as you have money, you can enjoy extremely good care even in prison.
The conditions in the other two prisons are naturally much worse.
When entering the Turtle City Prison, you usually only enter through the side door of the Duwei Mansion. You do not need to go through the front, you can enter the prison directly from the side door.
The guards at the side entrance have always been tight, and they are on duty in shifts, day and night.
After the Deathwing Cavalry captured the Duwei Mansion, dozens of people were left to garrison the Duwei Mansion.
For many prisoners in the prison, the arrival of the Deathwing Cavalry is actually a great blessing.
After the Deathwing Cavalry took control of the Duwei Mansion, Cai Anyi immediately issued an order. The prisoners in the prison had three options to choose from. They could either redeem themselves with money and regain their freedom after paying the money, or they could surrender to the army and participate in the ongoing battle.
If you are unwilling to choose either of these two paths in the Turtle City Camp established, you will remain in prison.
So those who had money immediately notified their families to redeem themselves, while most of them surrendered to the army and gained their freedom.
Although the Deathwing Cavalry is Cai Anyi's strongest troops, their strength is limited. With three hundred cavalry stationed in Turtle City, the number of men and horses is stretched thin. Therefore, Cai Anyi quickly recruits troops in Zhenjun and forms the Zhenjun camp. This team is named after the New Year's Eve night.
The group that attacked the county governor's mansion served as the team.
Many rogues in the city immediately joined the army, and within a short period of time, six to seven hundred people were recruited.
The prisoners currently in Turtle City Prison are mainly the officers of the Duwei Mansion who were captured that night and the few remnants of the Sheriff's Mansion.
On Lantern Festival night, although the Deathwing cavalry stationed at the Duwei Mansion were given wine and meat, the soldiers guarding the Turtle City Prison did not take it lightly and still strictly guarded the prison.
When Lu Siyuan's carriage stopped at the side gate of the prison, the guards outside the prison were not surprised. Mr. Lu had been in and out of the prison from time to time in recent days, and the guards here already knew that Cai Anyi had handed over the Turtle City Prison to
Lu Siyuan was in charge, so Lu Siyuan had the right to enter and exit the prison at any time.
The two guards guarding the door even bowed slightly to Lu Siyuan.
However, when they followed the man behind Lu Siyuan, they immediately became wary.
The man was short and thin. He was wearing a cotton robe and a cotton hat. His mouth and nose were covered with a black scarf, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Master Lu, who is this...?" A soldier blocked the way.
Although Lu Siyuan was in charge of the Turtle City Prison, these cavalrymen naturally looked down upon such a person. It was just a matter of him going in and out of the prison alone. If he brought others over, he would naturally want to question him thoroughly.
In fact, the control of Turtle City Prison is in the hands of a captain. There are 100 Deathwing Cavalry in a team, and there is a captain.
After seizing the Duwei's Mansion, the captain led dozens of subordinates to garrison here, and under Cai Anyi's instructions, Lu Siyuan acted as a lobbyist to persuade Han Yunong and others to join Li Tuo, so Lu Siyuan had the right to come and go freely.
Lu Siyuan had a slight cold sweat on his forehead and looked back.
The person behind him is of course Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao was calm and composed, stepped forward, stretched out a hand, spread his fingers, and there was a dice in his palm.
Lu Siyuan frowned, but the guard picked up the dice and took a look at it. His face changed slightly, and he quickly put the dice back into Qin Xiao's hand. Then he bowed deeply with great awe and said respectfully: "Wait a moment!" without saying much.
, turned around and entered the door.
Lu Siyuan looked at the dice in Qin Xiao's hand and was a little surprised.
He really didn't understand why the cavalryman's attitude would turn 180 degrees when he saw a small dice. He wanted to see what was wrong with the dice, but Qin Xiao had already tightened his grip.
Qin Xiao felt relieved.
This dice is certainly extraordinary.
This was the gift that Wen Budao, the God of Gamblers, gave to Qin Xiao in prison.
Wen Butao, who was still in prison at that time, guessed that his sworn brother Qiao Leshan had betrayed him, so he gave the die to Qin Xiao and even told him that if something unexpected happened, he could take the die to the coffin shop on Jiming Street.
Find the coffin shop owner.
At that time, Qin Xiao discovered that each side of the die was engraved with five points, which was very strange and completely different from ordinary dice, which made him feel strange.
But now, of course, he already knows that this dice is not simple.
The person who controls Turtle City now is Cai Anyi, the owner of the coffin shop on Jiming Street. Qin Xiao naturally knows that the owner of the coffin shop must be a spy lurking in the city. The power behind it is Li Tuo and his group, who is related to Wen Budao.
close.
He also knew that the Deathwing cavalry all called Wen Budao "Fifth Brother", and the dice happened to have five points on them. In other words, this dice was probably a token to prove Wen Budao's identity.
Wen Budao has a high status among the Deathwing Cavalry. Qin Xiao wants to rescue Han Yunong, but the other party is extremely tightly guarded. He is wondering if he can use this dice to do something. No matter whether it succeeds or not, he must give it a try.
At this moment, when I saw the other party's attitude immediately changed after seeing the dice, I knew that the other party really recognized the dice.
After a while, he saw a person coming in a hurry. Lu Siyuan recognized it as the captain stationed at the Duwei Mansion. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Commander Pang, I...!"
Captain Pang didn't even look at Lu Siyuan. He walked up to Qin Xiao and didn't say anything. He just cupped his hands. Qin Xiao showed the dice. Captain Pang carefully picked it up, looked at it carefully, and put it back to Qin Xiao.
In his hand, he said respectfully: "Did Brother Five send you here?"
Qin Xiao said softly: "Did you know that Han Yunong was once a black-feathered night crow?"
Captain Pang was startled when Qin Xiao continued: "The prince has raised an army, and the Changsheng Army is likely to come out. The black-feathered night crow knows the situation of the Changsheng Army very well, so I followed the order of my fifth brother and came to interrogate Han Yunong.
"
"I see." Qin Xiao revealed Han Yunong's unexpected identity, which convinced Pang Duanzheng, and then he looked at Lu Siyuan. Lu Siyuan hurriedly said: "I followed Master Cai's order to accompany this brother.
Come for interrogation."
Team Pang was busy saying: "Please, you two!"
Although he was heavily guarded along the way, no one dared to stop him. He successfully entered the Y-shaped prison. When he arrived outside a cell, through the wooden fence, Qin Xiao saw Han Yunong sitting cross-legged in the cell. Although his clothes were messy, his body was straight.
, still maintains the temperament of a soldier.
His limbs were shackled with iron shackles. Captain Pang was signaling the jailer to open the cell door. Qin Xiao winked at Lu Siyuan. Lu Siyuan could only go in first. After Qin Xiao followed behind him, there was a jailer beside him who had already sent two
Put the chair in.
After the jailer retreated, Captain Pang was still standing outside the cell door and did not leave. Han Yunong raised his eyelids and saw Lu Siyuan, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes and he said nothing.
Qin Xiao hadn't seen Han Yunong for nearly a year. Seeing him again now, he was a little excited, but his face was calm as usual. He sat down on the chair, faced Han Yunong, and pulled off the black scarf covering his mouth and nose.
He coughed and said calmly: "Are you Han Yunong?"
Han Yunong suddenly raised his head and was shocked when he saw Qin Xiao's face. However, Han Duwei was a man who had experienced battles for a long time. Although he was surprised that Qin Xiao suddenly appeared in front of him, he still looked calm on his face and suppressed his thoughts.
He was surprised and said coldly: "Who are you?"
"We have found out that you are a Night Crow under General Heiyu, and you were ordered to come to Xiling to lurk." Qin Xiao said seriously: "The Changsheng Army is a direct descendant of General Heiyu, and you should know the Changsheng Army very well."
"So what?" Han Yunong didn't know what Qin Xiao wanted for a while, but he still cooperated with Qin Xiao's acting very tactfully.
Qin Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Who are the generals of the Changsheng Army, what are their temperaments, what are their hobbies, and what are the best tactics of the Changsheng Army? You should be very clear about these. I came here today in the hope that Lieutenant Han can
Provide us with this information, and as long as you help us, we can release you immediately."
Han Yunong laughed and said: "Is this why you came here? It seems that your trip will only be in vain. Do you think I will tell you a word?"
Qin Xiao sighed: "Don't you even care about your own life or death?"
"If I were afraid of death, I would have expected you to bow down and beg for mercy, so why wait until today." Han Yunong said coldly: "Why don't you get out of here."
Qin Xiao turned to look at Lu Siyuan. Lu Siyuan immediately stood up, walked to the cell door and said, "Bring me the whip."
Captain Pang was taking the whip and handed it to Lu Siyuan. Lu Siyuan stepped forward and whipped Han Yunong without thinking, but Han Yunong seemed to be used to it and did not move. Lu Siyuan whipped Han Yunong's shoulder a few times and then stopped.
"Captain Han, you know, we have many punishments." Qin Xiao said: "You don't want us to try them all on you."
Han Yunong snorted coldly and said nothing.
Qin Xiao stood up, covered his mouth and nose again, turned around and walked to the cell door, saying: "Captain Pang, please send two people with us to escort Han Yunong to the county governor's house."
Captain Pang was wondering: "Send it to the county governor's house? There are many torture instruments in this cell. Do you want...?"
"Bring it to the Sheriff's Mansion and let Mr. Cai interrogate it with us." Lu Siyuan said immediately from the side: "When we came here, Mr. Cai told us that if this guy persists, let us take him back to the Sheriff's Mansion. There are many ways there.
Deal with him."
Captain Pang saw Qin Xiao's eyes looking at him, and finally said, "Yes."
"By the way, is the original Du Hongsheng here too?" Qin Xiao asked: "This person should know something about Kyoto, please bring him with you."
Pang Duizheng did not hesitate, and immediately ordered people to escort Du Hongsheng and Han Yunong out of the cell, and sent four more cavalry to follow them as guards.
Qin Xiao led a few people out of the prison, went out through the side door of the prison, arrived at the carriage, and directly stuffed Han Yunong and Du Hongsheng into the carriage. The carriage was quite spacious, and four or five people in it would not be too crowded.
.
After Han Yunong and the two entered, Qin Xiao asked for the key to the shackles, and then he and Lu Siyuan entered the carriage. The driver wearing a bamboo hat shook the horse's reins and urged the horse to rescue them. Four Death Wing cavalry followed behind to protect them.
