Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 258 Prison Break
In the Daming Palace, the Supreme Emperor looked at the contents on the paper with a look of disappointment on his face.

Although Emperor Jingwen didn't have much ability, after so many years of his guidance, he still had no problem being a city defender.

But the Supreme Emperor never thought that Emperor Jingwen would be so confused. The Supreme Emperor did not care about a king doing evil things, but the king should know how to clean up the traces after doing evil things.

As the reputation of an emperor who used assassination to deal with his opponents spread, it would be difficult for Emperor Jingwen to do anything.

If a dignified emperor is really dissatisfied with any official, he can just demote him from the capital. If he has political disagreements, he will kill him or secretly assassinate him. Such behavior shows his low character.

The civil servants studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and the articles of sages, and they could not tolerate an emperor like Emperor Jingwen.

That is to say, the revelation of nineteen dead soldiers has not yet been confirmed, and the civil servants are still waiting and watching.

The consequences of this matter, regardless of the outcome of the case, Emperor Jingwen's trust will be greatly reduced.

Daqian was fine during normal times, but once Daqian encountered any catastrophe, this crisis of trust in the king could turn into catastrophe for Daqian at any time.

"Jing Wen, Jing Wen, you must not do anything wrong again!" The Supreme Emperor said to himself worriedly.

It was difficult for him to interfere in this matter. If he didn't intervene, he would be able to tell the truth no matter where the matter went. But if he really wanted to intervene, even he would be implicated.

"Jia Qiang, can you really feel safe as a wealthy prince?" The Supreme Emperor thought of Jia Qiang again and murmured.

Of course he could see that this was Jia Qiang's counterattack.

But I didn't expect that Jia Qiang's counterattack would be so sharp. Not only did she drag Zhongshun and her relatives into eternal disaster, but she also brought Emperor Jingwen into big trouble.

In the prison of Dali Temple, a separate area was set aside, where nineteen dead men were imprisoned.

There was a team of 200 government officials guarding the prison near the prison. This team of government officials was composed of government officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to protect the nineteen dead men.

There are also professionals from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate who are responsible for checking the diet of the dead soldiers to prevent poisoning.

These three families don't dare to be careless. If something happens under their watch, the reputation of the three families will be completely ruined. All the main officials of the three families will be demoted, and the people below will not end well.

Today, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all reviewing the case materials sent by Jia Qiang and preparing for the official trial to begin tomorrow morning.

The lantern in the Dali Temple cell gave off a dim light, illuminating both the inside and outside of the cell, leaving no darkness at all.

At midnight, the two hundred government officials were also tired now. Half of them were divided into guarding, while the other half fell asleep with their eyes closed.

But at this moment, a scream woke up all the government officials.

All the government officials woke up, prepared their weapons one by one, and guarded the entrance to the cell.

"What the hell, clearing a sentry will make him make a sound!" At this moment, outside the cell, a leader in armor was angrily reprimanding his men.

There were more than three hundred people in this group. Except for thirty people wearing armor, the rest were all wearing light armor.

One hundred people had bows and arrows in their hands, one hundred people had knives in their hands, and one hundred people had spears in their hands. They all covered their faces.

Although the leader reprimanded his men, he did not have any worries about this action.

What they have to deal with are just government servants.

The gap between the government officials and them is huge. The government officials usually deal with civilians, and there are very few strong opponents among them.

And their team of 300 people came from the secret guard army, and the ten leaders were all strong men.

Yes, there are thirty warriors in a small team of three hundred people.

This is an army that has never appeared on the surface, an army that is terrifyingly powerful.

If Jia Qiang hadn't spawned a large number of warriors through the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]', the ratio of warriors in this army would have been almost an invincible army.

"Kill!" There was a soft shout, and with a wave of the leader's hand, the archer shot out a row of dense arrows.

The government officials did not have any decent defense means, and dozens of them fell under the rain of arrows.

"Don't kill me, I'm a craftsman!" a government officer who was hit by an arrow in his shoulder suddenly shouted.

Before the other party could attack, a government servant next to him pierced his body with a sword.

With so many people dying on the Yamen side, they naturally hated their enemies and even more hated the people who betrayed them.

Now even if there is still some fine work, I don't dare to say anything anymore.

One hundred spear sergeants rushed forward. Without any fancy movements, they suppressed the remaining government officials with a series of neat stabs. It was only a matter of time before all the government officials died.

Suddenly, the lights turned on and loud shouts came from all over Dali Temple.

"We are actually prepared. Leave them alone and deal with the criminals first. They can't stop us!" the leader said in a deep voice.

Not many yamen guards died, and the entrance to the cell was revealed.

The leader led people into the cell. The cell where the dead soldiers were held was at the deepest part. They needed to kill the dead soldiers as quickly as possible.

But just when the leader saw victory in sight, he saw ten people walking out in front of him.

"I have long guessed that someone will rob the prison. If you want to kill these dead soldiers, you must first pass this level!" Jia Qiang stood up and said with a smile.

He came over after dark and didn't tell anyone except Lin Ruhai.

He used the teleportation of the 'Close Boots' to enter the cell, and then used the 'Group Invisibility Technique' to make himself disappear.

Jia Qiang did not bring anyone else with her this time, but only her own summons and five divine corpses.

The four summons and the five divine corpses all wore the same type of armor, and their faces could not be seen if they put down their helmets.

Finally, he was not disappointed, as he waited for the prison robber as he had guessed.

But he didn't expect that he would be waiting for such a big fish. There were thirty warriors and a team of three hundred people with top-notch equipment. This was no ordinary army.

If he was transferred from the Beijing camp, he would definitely receive the news.

"Jiahou, why are you here?" the leader said in shock.

The leader looked at Jia Qiang and the nine men in armor beside Jia Qiang in surprise. Even he, the general of the secret guard, had heard of Jia Qiang's name for a long time.

"Kill him!" The leader saw that there were only ten people on the other side, including Jia Qiang. Considering that there were more than 300 people on his side, including thirty warriors, he issued the order in a deep voice.

Jia Qiang was too lazy to move. He waved his hand and the battle began.

Jia Gong and Jia Jian drew their divine bows, but they did not kill them. The arrows were aimed at the legs of these sergeants.

Jia Jingang, Jia Wei and the five divine corpses also received orders, and they tried their best not to kill.

For this reason, they did not use their best weapons, but used big guns.

The battle of the three hundred secret guards was a typical military one. They maintained a formation with the big gun in front, the long sword next to the big gun, and the archers behind. The big gun can widen the distance between you and the enemy. Once the enemy breaks through the big gun, what is waiting is the melee long sword.

The archer is in a safe environment and only needs to shoot arrows with all his strength.

But they met Jia Qiang, or in other words, they met a supernatural being.

The battle turned into a game at the beginning. One hundred archers only shot one round of arrows before they were all shot down by Jia Gong and Jia Jian.

As for the remaining two hundred or so sergeants, they were all knocked to the ground within a few breaths of time in front of seven extraordinary melee warriors.

"Stand back!" Jia Qiang heard the voices outside and ordered in a deep voice.

The four summoned objects and five divine corpses bowed and retreated. When they turned a corner, they were all put into the inventory by Jia Qiang.

A burst of rapid footsteps approached, and the government officials holding weapons rushed into the cell. Many of their hands were trembling.

The scene outside was so brutal that almost all the two hundred government officials were slaughtered.

But when they rushed into the cell, they saw the fallen and struggling sergeant on the ground, as well as the only person standing.

The man standing was wearing a python suit, and his young face made some of the Dali Temple officials recognize Jia Qiang's identity at a glance.

"I've met the Marquis!" A yamen servant bowed and saluted.

When the other yamen servants heard that the Marquis was in front of them, they all followed suit and saluted.

They also saw that Jia Qiang, the Marquis, appeared here and the sergeants fell on the ground, which meant that Jia Qiang defeated these sergeants.

As for the details, they are still handled by their superiors.

Following the report from the government officials, Lin Ruhai and two officials wearing the robes of first- and second-grade civil servants walked in not long after.

"Jia Hou, you have captured them all!" Lin Ruhai said as expected when he saw Jia Qiang and the struggling sergeant on the ground.

This was in a public place outside, and Lin Ruhai addressed Jia Qiang by her title.

"It turns out that Mr. Lin has already discussed it with Academician Jia, but he kept it from the two of us. Mr. Lin shouldn't do this!" The person who spoke was Yuan Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, but there was not much blame in his words. Instead, he was joking. tone.

"Xueshi Jia took action personally, so what do these little thieves mean!" Hong Yushi, the second-rank official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, continued.

"I don't dare to say that. I asked my soldiers to leave. Although they are my soldiers, it is taboo to mobilize a group of people privately in the capital!" Jia Qiang explained with a smile.

"Haha, Master Jia was invited by my Ministry of Punishment!" Yuan Shangshu laughed and made his attitude clear.

"We, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, have also invited Master Jia to defend together tonight!" Hong Yushi followed up.

The two second-grade civil servants took this opportunity to express their gratitude to Jia Qiang. If Jia Qiang hadn't captured these sergeants here today, nineteen dead soldiers would have been killed, and their official positions would not be guaranteed. No guarantee either.

Everyone in the court is watching this case, and if anything goes wrong, they will be blamed by thousands of people.

Jia Qiang's capture of these sergeants was tantamount to saving their political lives.

They must repay this kind of kindness. At the same time, it can also reduce the troubles of the three companies by saying that Jia Qiang's assistance here is the common opinion of the three companies.

"These are not little thieves. There are thirty warriors among them, and the rest are elite soldiers!" Jia Qiang continued.

This suddenly surprised the officers of the Third Division. They did not doubt Jia Qiang's judgment, but looked at the more than 300 sergeants.

At this time, the government officials had stripped off the armor of thirty warriors and tied them with ropes.

When the summoned objects and divine corpses attacked these thirty warriors, they left some energy in their bodies, making them not only injured but also unable to move for a short period of time, which allowed the officials to tie them up easily.

"Change the shackles!" Lin Ruhai ordered in a deep voice.

The heavy shackle is aimed at masters such as warriors. The weight alone can limit the movements of warriors.

The government officials brought heavy shackles. These heavy shackles were specially prepared for powerful criminals. They were all iron shackles and weighed hundreds of kilograms with the chains.

In addition, professionals were called in to put even more sinister locks on these warriors, blocking their bones so that they could no longer exert their strength.

"Thank you so much, Master Jia. If it hadn't been for Scholar Jia's help, we would have been trapped here!" Yuan Shangshu said with fear.

After learning that there were thirty warriors among the more than three hundred sergeants, he knew that the arrangement of the Third Division could not stop this army at all.

Once this army goes crazy, even the three officials at the scene will not be able to escape.

"I have some tricks to make the leader speak!" Jia Qiang waved her hand and said with a smile.

Lin Ruhai nodded to Yuan Shangshu and Hong Yushi, he meant that he was willing to guarantee.

In fact, Jia Qiang captured everyone, and Jia Qiang's suggestion also helped them.

Therefore, Yuan Shangshu and Gong Yushi did not refuse, and they had no intention of exploring Jia Qiang's methods, so they asked the general to take the leader aside.

Jia Qiang nodded to the three adults and came to the side of the leading warrior.

There was no resentment in the eyes of the leading warrior, but only confusion.

He did not expect that his army would be defeated. Even if it was defeated, it would only be possible when it faced an army that far exceeded its own number.

He always believed that the Secret Guards were the strongest army in the world, and the rest of the army were just chickens and dogs.

But just now, the myth in his heart was broken. Jia Qiang sent out nine people to defeat their team.

Rather than defeating them, it would be better to say that the nine people were dispatched as if they were swiping away flies.

The strongest army in the world was just a joke, and this warrior couldn't accept it for a while.

Jia Qiang didn't talk nonsense. The warrior in front of him was of a very low level, just a fifth-grade military attaché. This was probably because he didn't want the secret guards to be exposed. Too high a grade was too eye-catching.

This allowed Jia Qiang not to waste the precious flower master's soul, but only used an ordinary soul to inspire the 'Feng Yue Baojian' to make this hero 100% loyal to him.

"Which army are you from?" Jia Qiang asked curiously.

"I'm from the Dark Guard!" the warrior replied.

"Why have you never heard of the Secret Guards?" Jia Qiang shook her head and asked in confusion.

"The Secret Guard is an army trained by the royal family. Five hundred Secret Guards were handed over from the Supreme Emperor to the current Holy Emperor five years ago. My men and I are among the three hundred Secret Guards!" the warrior replied honestly.

Jia Qiang now understood that it was Emperor Jingwen who directly sent people to silence him.

"During the interrogation of the three divisions, you must answer all questions, and at the same time, try to let your subordinates answer the questions. Can you do this?" Jia Qiang then ordered.

"If you can do it, all my subordinates will obey my orders!" the warrior replied confidently.
