Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 225
At this time, Ye Jigang was also shocked into a cold sweat.

Behind Ye Jigang, there are a group of robbers who have passed out, and the prisoners who have been locked up in the prison.

If he stayed, he would spend a total of eight years in prison for theft and wounding.

If he left, then, from now on, he would be a fugitive like his younger brother Ye Jiwu.

Eight years in prison?

Or be a fugitive?

He had to make a decision quickly, otherwise, it would be too late.

Ye Jigang put his hand on the gate, and finally, he looked back at the prison behind him.

He untied the purse hanging from the leader's body, then pushed open the door firmly, and ran forward with all his strength, as if he wanted to make a clean break with the past, and run towards a dangerous and unknown new life.

He believes that his future will not be too bad, because he is a person with a brain.

Just after Ye Jigang ran away from the yamen for a cup of tea, a yamen servant with a knife and a lantern entered the prison with his head poking around.

After seeing the robbers in the prison fell to the ground, they became excited.

"Miss Ye is really clever and clever, six sons! Go and tell the Lord!" Ade said a little excitedly, he has never seen so many live robbers in his life, let alone kidnap them, "The rest Wait, collect their weapons with me, and then throw them into the prison!"

"Yes!" Liu Zi nodded.

At this moment, a loud shout came from the prison: "Help! I was stabbed! Help me! Come and save me!"

When the servants heard this, they didn't bother to confiscate their weapons, and immediately ran to the source of the sound.

They were astonished to see that the bars of the prison had been hacked down like this, and that the prisoners in the prison were bleeding profusely and pale.

"Who escaped? And who stabbed you like this?" Ade asked quickly.

"It's Ye Jigang...Ye Jigang fled...he took refuge in the robbers of Wutou Gang...the robbers asked him to stab me for a vote...so he stabbed...after stabbing me...he...he... Cut...the fence...the fence escaped..." The prisoner's voice became softer as he spoke, as if he was about to faint at any moment.

"Xiao Wu, please go to the doctor quickly, we don't want to touch the injured person rashly, so as not to hurt him again, let the doctor come and carry him away, and the consultation fee will be reimbursed at the yamen," Ade ordered, "Six, you should go and report My lord, tell my lord that the robber has fainted, and also report Ye Jigang's escape from prison!"

"Yes!" The sixth son nodded.

If such a thing happened in the prison, if it was in the past, the guards in charge of the prison would definitely be in a state of panic, afraid of being punished by the superiors, but today's situation is special, the county magistrate asked them to evacuate the Yamen, and only come out if they want to catch a turtle in a urn. Had such an accident.

Therefore, after feeling a lot of emotion, they went back to collect the weapons of the bandits.

Tonight, a total of 41 bandits came to rob the prison. Everyone applauded and praised while confiscating the weapons of the robbers.

Originally, they were worried about whether tonight's operation would be successful. Unexpectedly, these robbers really lost their combat effectiveness, like snails in the river, letting them pick them up.If it were in the past, they really wouldn't even dare to think about it. When they saw the robbers coming, they had no choice but to run away, so how could they dare to stay?Not to mention catching them and throwing them into cells.

After the county magistrate learned about this from the six sons, he was also very excited. These robbers were planted in their yamen in Qinghe County. This is his political achievement!To be able to kill dozens of robbers in one go is definitely a great feat!
As for Ye Jigang, it is enough to issue a wanted warrant.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate decided to take someone to Ye Qiongdan's residence in person, firstly to inform her of the news, and secondly to thank her in person.

Today, Ye Qiongdan came up with an idea, saying that he would take out a kind of incense and light it in the prison. The smell of that kind of incense is very weak, and it will be completely covered by the rotten smell in the prison, so that it will not arouse the suspicion of the robbers. .

And she will give a package of antidote to the cooks in charge of meals in the prison, let them sprinkle the antidote in the water, use the water mixed with the antidote to knead the dough, and after the steamed buns are eaten by the prisoners, the prisoners will not I was stunned by this incense.

After half a stick of incense, the county magistrate arrived outside Ye's house in a carriage.

The yamen servant who followed the county magistrate stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was hurriedly opened. Xu Mingzhu poked her head out and asked impatiently, "How is it?"

"Miss Ye has a clever plan. All the gangsters who came to rob the prison tonight have been caught, and none of them have escaped!" the yamen servant said with a smile.

Xu Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and saw the county magistrate, and quickly saluted him.

"No need to be polite, Miss Ye has already rested?" the county magistrate asked.

"Never, I'm still waiting for news from the yamen in the main room." Xu Mingzhu smiled slightly, "My lord, please come with me."

"Thank you Miss Xu for leading the way." The county magistrate was very polite to Xu Mingzhu, he was only a seventh-rank county magistrate, and Xu Mingzhu's father was a third-rank military officer.

After arriving at the main room, the county magistrate smiled and said, "Miss Ye, it's really thanks to you tonight, all the criminals who came to rob the prison have been caught!"

"That's really great, the daughter of the people will be here too, congratulations to your lord." Ye Qiongdan smiled and saluted him.

"Same joy, same joy," the county magistrate waved his hand at her, "You deserve the most credit for catching so many robbers. Don't worry, I will report your credit to the imperial court and let the imperial court dial it down for you." Reward silver."

"Then there is Mr. Lao."

"Are you confident about tomorrow's plan?" The magistrate asked quickly.

"Of course, I have sent a letter and invited helpers. My lord will just wait to collect the gangsters tomorrow night." Ye Qiongdan said confidently.

"Okay!" The county magistrate laughed heartily, and when he finished laughing, he remembered another thing and sighed, "By the way, your cousin Ye Jigang escaped from prison with the help of robbers. In order to send a certificate of nomination to the Wutou gang, I even stabbed a prisoner in the same cell with a knife. I have ordered the six sons to go back to the yamen and told the yamen servants in the yamen that they will start searching for the robbers after they are locked up. He. As for tomorrow morning, I will also issue a warrant."

"Prison escaped?" Ye Qiongdan was startled, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart, "My lord, I will cover all the medical expenses of the injured prisoner, and I will give him some compensation. Anyway Well, Ye Jigang was sent to prison by us, and his injury is more or less related to me. If Ye Jigang hadn’t been sent to prison, he wouldn’t have to suffer such an innocent disaster.”

After saying that, she stretched out her hand to make some calculations, and said in a deep voice, "He went to the south, and he hid in the dilapidated Town God's Temple in Nancheng."

The county magistrate glanced at the yamen servant behind him: "Why don't you inform them quickly and search for people in the ruined temple in Nancheng?"

"Yes!" The yamen servant immediately ran away.

"Miss Ye, don't need to worry. There is no place for Tibetans in the dilapidated Town God's Temple in Nancheng. Ye Jigang will be arrested before dawn tomorrow." The county magistrate said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, my lord." Ye Qiongdan bowed to him, still feeling a little worried.

In front of Ye Jigang, a forbearing, vicious and cunning opponent, there is no absolute thing!
"This is also my duty. Don't worry, Qinghe County is so big, and now there is a curfew and the city gate is closed. Even if he has wings, he can't fly out."

However, the magistrate still underestimated Ye Jigang.

The yamen servants quickly chased to the ruined temple in the south of the city, surrounded the ruined temple, and shouted for Ye Jigang to get out quickly!
But after shouting several times, Ye Jigang didn't answer, but the beggars in the ruined temple shrank into a ball in fright.

The yamen servants rushed in immediately, but after searching for a long time, they couldn't find anyone.

So, the yamen servants interrogated the beggars in the temple, and the beggars said that they had indeed seen Ye Jigang before, but Ye Jigang disappeared in a blink of an eye, and they didn't know where he was hiding all of a sudden.

The yamen servants did not dare to disobey the order of the county magistrate, and turned the entire ruined temple upside down, but they did not find Ye Jigang, but found a blood-stained prison uniform jacket in a corner of the ruined temple.

The yamen servants were so annoyed that they could only leave dejectedly.

After the yamen servants left the ruined temple, Ye Jigang, who fell into the tunnel of the ruined temple because he accidentally bumped into an organ, let out a long sigh of relief—what a god!

Ye Jigang rummaged in the purse of the boss he picked up, and found a fire pocket. After he blew on the fire pocket, he crawled forward in the narrow and deep tunnel.

There are some white bones scattered in the tunnel, if you step on it accidentally, the bones will be broken easily.

Ye Jigang was a little nervous, but then he relaxed again.

They are just dead people, so what is there to be afraid of?

A living person is much more terrifying than a dead person. A living person will arrest him and put him in prison for eight years, but a dead person is harmless to him.

After walking two-thirds of the tunnel, he saw some scattered gold, silver and jewels on the ground. Usually, this was because the owner of the money threw it down along the road in order to lighten the load and run for his life.

Ye Jigang picked up the gold, silver and jewels on the ground and held them in his arms.

He walked for an hour before reaching the exit of the tunnel.

And the owner of those gold, silver and jewelry died at the exit. Judging from the cut marks on the bones, he should have been seriously injured before he died, and it was not easy to survive here before dying.

Ye Jigang picked up the last bit of jewelry left on his body, and picked up a piece of parchment that he had been clutching in his hand.

After he opened the parchment and took a look, he was horrified to find that it was a treasure map left by King Ping of the previous dynasty.

Prince Ping was a prince in the previous dynasty. Because his mother and concubine were not favored, and he was framed in the battle for the heir apparent, he was demoted to a commoner early on.

After he was demoted, he started to engage in the most despised business, and it took him more than 30 years to become the richest man.

Later, due to the large donation to the national treasury in the disaster year, the new emperor resumed his status as King Ping.

After his death, the whereabouts of his treasure became a mystery. Legend has it that he built a huge mausoleum for himself deep in the lost region of the desert, and locked all his property in it.

Ye Jigang who got this map was very excited!

Haha, although this is like taking a piece of hot potato to him, he believes that with his ingenuity, he will definitely become the master who can decide Ye Qiongdan's life and death with this picture!
Ye Qiongdan, just wait to die!
He pushed open the door of the tunnel, and sure enough, he found that he had already left Qinghe County.

This tunnel leads directly to Qingyuan County.
