In the attic on the highest floor of the county jail.
Zhao Xuan, Fan Zheng, Chen Dewen, Zhao Qingshan and other local officials in Fuchuan all bowed down and stood nervously, and in front of them, a middle-aged scribe in his forties sat casually on the edge of the attic, holding a teacup in his hand, and glancing at the compound of the county prison from time to time.
Seeing the five corpses that were shot in the courtyard, the middle-aged scribe took a sip of tea and asked Zhao Xuan and the others in a low voice: "Among them, is there the person who pretended to be the abolished prince?"
” Zhao Xuan didn't speak, and Zhao Qingshan replied respectfully: "Back to Lord Zhu's words, these five people are all death row inmates in prison, and there is no Li Fengman. ” The county prison owner is under the management of Zhao Qingshan, the county lieutenant, and only Zhao Qingshan knows the situation in the prison best.
"Death row inmates?"
Master Zhu glanced at Zhao Qingshan with dissatisfaction, and reprimanded softly: "Since you are a death row prisoner, why can you escape from prison, is this how you Fuchuan County takes care of prisoners?!"
” "It's the unfavorable supervision of the lower officials, please forgive me!"
Zhao Qingshan bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Zhao Xuan pursed his lips disdainfully on the side, what came out was not the person he expected, this was annoyed and angry, right?
Why don't you trick others into escaping from prison, and don't allow others to take care of them?
Zhao Xuan looked down on Zhu Wenyan's appearance of hypocrisy and hypocrisy, as the head of a county, he wanted to do whatever he wanted to do directly, but he had to play such a trick and use such a means to calculate others, low-level!
"Are you sure that the door of the cell where Li Feng is located is locked?"
After another moment, seeing that there was no movement inside, Zhu Wenyan couldn't help but confirm to Zhao Qingshan again.
Zhao Qingshan replied: "It's confirmed, not only is the prison door locked, but they haven't been given water or food for an afternoon, and now they are hungry and thirsty." ” In this kind of weather, it doesn't matter if you don't eat a meal, but if you don't drink water for a few hours, it's unbearable.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of Li Fengman and the others, not only Li Fengman's cell had no food or water to drink, but also all the prisoners in the entire county prison.
According to Li Fengman's previous temperament, he was treated so unfairly, he would definitely jump out to find the people of the county government to theorize, as long as he himself came out of the cell and stepped out of the door of the county prison, all this would become logical.
Just like the five unlucky ones just now, if you die, you will die in vain.
Escaping from prison and shooting is not a crime, this is the law of the court.
"In that case, why haven't they moved until now?"
Zhu Wenyan looked a little patient, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if they have noticed the abnormality, the official doesn't have so much leisure to spend here, just light a fire and smoke them out for the official!"
” "No adults!"
Zhao Xuan suddenly stood up to dissuade: "Li Feng is not the only one in the county prison, in addition to Li Feng's master and servant, there are more than 30 other prisoners, my lord's arson, wouldn't it put everyone in danger, in case someone dies because of this, the lower officials are afraid that it will not be easy to explain to the people of this county!"
” It's just that five death row inmates have just died, and they are people who are about to die, and no one will be too pursued if they die early.
But the rest of the people are different, how many felons can there be in a small Fuchuan County Prison?
Most of them are thieves who steal chickens and dogs, and they are great at fighting and hurting people, or abducting and abducting people, guilty but not dead.
If so many prisoners who were not guilty of capital crimes all died in the county prison at once, Zhao Xuan, the Fuchuan county magistrate, would not want to do it anymore.
Zhu Wenyan said that this move was simply cutting off his official path, and he couldn't bear it.
"Lord Zhao!"
Zhu Wenyan glanced at Zhao Xuan dissatisfiedly, and said lightly: "You have to figure it out, if it weren't for your unfavorable handling and failure to correct Li Feng on the spot, why would this official rush to this Fuchuan County overnight, this official is wiping your ass for you, don't be ignorant!"
” "Don't forget, Chief Qincha Liu died in your jurisdiction, in front of your county officials, if you don't find someone to replace the dead ghost as soon as possible, not only you, but also me, the assassin of Qianzhou, will not escape the involvement!"
Zhao Xuan did not back down, and said bluntly: "There is Lord Lao Zhu who is concerned, but this matter has Princess Jinyang and General Cheng Huaibi to testify for the lower officials, and in the future, there will be a return of the upper ranks, and the lower officials are not afraid!"
” Zhao Xuan moved Princess Jinyang and Cheng Huaibi out again, hoping to make Zhu Wenyan restrain himself, but as a result, Zhu Wenyan pouted and smiled, and said disapprerovitically: "Princess Jinyang has a noble status, but after all, she is still young and will inevitably be deceived by others, and her words are not credible." ” "As for Cheng Huaibi, he is a right Jinwu general, why should he meddle in the local government affairs of Qianzhou and interfere in the handling of cases by local officials, he doesn't want it anymore?!"
In a few words, Zhu Wenyan ignored all the advantages of Princess Jinyang and Cheng Huaibi, this is Qianzhou, only he, the assassin of Qianzhou, is the real family, unless it is the will of the saint, otherwise he can not give face!
The princess is no better than the prince, except for a noble status, she has no power in her hands, even if Zhu Wenyan refutes her face, the emperor will not blame him for this.
In comparison, a holy Qincha died on his own land, which is the problem that Zhu Wenyan cares about and urgently wants to solve.
Zhao Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said no more.
He is different from Zhu Wenyan, he is just a seven-grade county order, a small official with a big sesame, no matter who it is, he can't afford to offend.
And Zhu Wenyan is the assassin of Qianzhou, a proper fourth grade, with a high and powerful position, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a feudal official, and he naturally has the confidence to say that he does not give the princess a word.
"Lord Assassin Shi is right, but those prisoners in the prison are all guilty of not death, and I hope that the adults can think twice and leave them a way to live."
Zhao Xuan no longer argued with Zhu Wenyan about whether Li Feng should die or not, and continued to intercede for the remaining 30 or so prisoners.
Zhu Wenyan glanced at Zhao Xuan deeply, and said lightly: "Lord Zhao is dedicated to the public, and the official is also very admired.
Rest assured, this official is not the kind of unreasonable person who loves to kill, he just makes people smoke some smoke, and he doesn't want to burn down the prison cell, and no one can die. ” After that, Zhu Wenyan waved his hand at his subordinates, after all, this is Zhao Xuan's home field, and his face needs to be taken care of, after all, Zhao Xuan is not just a small Fuchuan County Order, and Zhu Wenyan doesn't want to offend him too much.
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhao Xuan thanked him, and then stood aside obediently and said no more.
What can be done and what should be done, he has already done it, as for the next thing, it is beyond his control, whether Li Feng can save a glimmer of life in this disaster depends on his own creation.

Soon, white smoke rose from the prison.
From light to thick, the smoke and dust are billowing out, standing on the attic, Zhao Xuan can even clearly hear the screams of the prisoners in the prison in surprise, Zhao Xuan's brows frowned, this is not just simple smoke, such a thick smoke, a little longer, but it will kill people!
I wanted to step forward to persuade again, but I was tightly pulled by Fan Zheng beside him, Zhao Xuan turned his head to look at Fan Zheng, and saw that Fan Zheng shook his head at him with a sad face, "Lord Zhao, it is not appropriate to argue with Lord Thorn Shi at this moment, otherwise it will anger Lord Thorn Shi, and then it will backfire." ” Fan Zheng's lips moved slightly, and his voice was extremely low, and only Zhao Xuan could barely hear it.
When Zhao Xuan heard this, his face was entangled, and when he looked up and saw Zhu Wenyan's increasingly gloomy complexion, his body weakened, and he sighed, and finally listened to Fan Zheng's persuasion, and did not stand up again to question Zhu Wenyan's decision.
Fan Zhengchang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Zhao Xuan was not too impulsive, otherwise today, the local officials of Fuchuan County, it is estimated that they would not be able to do well.
Zhu Wenyan personally rushed from Qianzhou Mansion to a small county town like Fuchuan this time, the meaning is self-evident, people are here for the purpose of killing Li Fengman, and now he doesn't even give face to Princess Jinyang and Cheng Huaibi, how can he care about these little sesame officials?
The situation is stronger than people, and if something happens, there is naturally a tall person on top of it, and these petty officials and officials, as long as they do a good job of their wall grass, it is enough.
This is the way for these low-level officials to survive.
"Why hasn't anyone come out, do they really want to be smoked alive inside?"
Zhu Wenyan's demeanor began to become a little agitated.
The unexpected appearance of the five death row prisoners just now was already a big surprise to him, and he guessed that Li Fengman might have seen through their design, so he deliberately released five substitute ghosts.
Therefore, Zhu Wenyan did not hesitate to implement the second set of smoking schemes, and the results were obviously not ideal.
"County Lieutenant Zhao!"
Zhu Wenyan turned his head to look at Zhao Qingshan: "In this county prison, in addition to this main gate, are there other hidden exits?"
” Zhao Qingshan directly shook his head and denied: "Don't worry, Lord Thorn Shi, there is only one exit in the entire county prison, and the walls of all the cells are all piled up of bluestone, about three feet thick, and they are unusually strong, even the window reserved for lighting and ventilation on the wall is only the size of a palm, except for the main entrance, no one can successfully escape from the county prison!"
” For the defense of the county prison, Zhao Qingshan is full of confidence, let you have the ability to reach the sky, as long as you enter the prison, you will be a cow and horse that has been chewed, and you can't turn over any flowers.
In fact, the last time Genfu took Li Fengman to calmly escape from the county prison, it was not without their deliberate connivance, otherwise the two of them would definitely not be able to get out.
Zhu Wenyan squinted his eyes: "In that case, why haven't they come out yet?"
There may be a glimmer of life if you escape, but if you stay inside, you will definitely be smoked to death, they can't understand such a simple truth?
” So much time has passed, and the cries for help from the prisoners inside have become weaker and weaker, and if Li Feng and the others were still in the county prison, it would be impossible for them to do nothing all the time.
After all, the door of their cell was open, and they had a chance to break free from the cage and rush out to get some fresh air.
Not only Zhu Wenyan, but everyone present gradually had doubts in their hearts, could it be that Li Feng's master and servant would really rather be smoked to death in prison than come out of prison?
Aren't they afraid, this is really a fire, and they will really be smoked to death inside?
"Lord Zhu!"
Zhao Xuan finally couldn't hold back any longer, and stood up again, "Master Assassin Shi, if you don't stop, you may really die, the lower officials please raise your noble hand, those prisoners in prison are not guilty of death, they should not be treated like this!"
” Zhu Wenyan's face sank like water, and he suddenly raised his hand and commanded the people below: "Okay, put out the fire!"
” His purpose is just to eradicate the scourge of Li Feng, not to kill innocents indiscriminately, more than 30 lives, even if he is the assassin of Qianzhou, he can't afford it.
Zhao Xuan's expression was slightly relaxed, and after thanking Zhu Wenyan with his hand, he retreated and continued to pretend to be dumb.
"Little Liu, you take someone in to have a look."
Zhu Wenyan gave an order to the guards beside him, and Yan Xiaoliu answered the order and jumped down directly from the attic.
At a height of more than ten meters, it fell to the ground so lightly and safely, attracting a burst of sideways glances from everyone.
Good skills!
Zhao Qingshan secretly praised in his heart, but he was just a little sassy, obviously there were stairs and didn't go, but he had to deliberately show his hand, and the sassy bag was a little too much.
The prison door has been open since the five death row inmates broke out just now, and Yan Xiaoliu easily dodged into the door and disappeared into the thick smoke that had not completely dissipated.
Everyone in the attic paid close attention to the exit of the prison door, quietly waiting for Feng Yan Xiaoliu or Li Fengman and others to appear.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes......
After a full quarter of an hour, the cries for help that had subsided in the county prison began to resume again, and it was obvious that the prisoners who had been smoked out had awakened.
But Yan Xiaoliu seemed to sink into the sea and never showed his head again.
Zhu Wenyan's face showed a look of anxiety, it has been so long, but Yan Xiaoliu has not returned for a long time, didn't he encounter something unexpected in the cell?
Just when Zhu Wenyan's patience was exhausted and he was about to send someone in to find out, on the roof on the east side of the county prison, Yan Xiaoliu's figure suddenly appeared, and he leaped all the way, and returned to the attic again in a few breaths.
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Didn't you say that there was no other exit from the county prison, why did Yan Xiaoliu obviously not come out of the main gate, but now he is outside the county prison?
"Little Liu, why have you been there for so long, but what have you found?"
Zhu Wenyan asked Yan Xiaoliu earnestly.
Yan Xiaoliu took a breath, bowed down and replied: "My lord, the three Li Feng's master and servant have already escaped from prison, and their subordinates have followed them all the way just now, and they have returned to the Li Mansion at this moment. ” "What?!"

"How is this possible?
The county prison is unusually strong, how can they get out without going through the main gate?
” Everyone was suspicious, but thinking of the direction in which Yan Xiaoliu appeared just now, they had to think about the possibility.
They stayed up all night and waited here for a long time, wanting to catch turtles in an urn once and for all, but they were not in prison at all, and they had already gone home for dinner!
This was an ambush and a smoky toss for most of the night, but in the end it became a joke, Zhu Wenyan's face was gloomy, and he looked up at Yan Xiaoliu and said, "Tell me, what's going on?!"
” "They smashed a big hole in the wall behind the cell, and it was as tall as one person, and ordinary people could easily escape from it!"
Yan Xiaoliu did not hide it, and softly gave an unexpected but real answer.
The three-foot-thick stone wall was smashed out of a door-shaped hole more than two meters high and one meter wide, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yan Xiaoliu himself wouldn't have believed it.
There were no weapons or weapons in the cell, and it was unimaginable to smash such a big hole.
Yan Xiaoliu could see clearly, the walls were all made of bricks and stones, and they were unusually strong, even if he used the sharp weapon on his waist, he might not be able to split the slap-sized gap, but Li Feng and the others had chiseled such a big hole, it was simply a pervert.
If you want to get out, you don't need to open such a big door, just a circular hole of tens of centimeters.
But in such an urgent situation, they still have the leisure to open the door so wide, and even cut a perfect arch above the door, how many idle people must do such a perverted thing?
Thinking of the arch hole with a perfect arc on it, Yan Xiaoliu felt a pain for no reason.
