Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little bit every day

Chapter 235: Hiding here will definitely be fine

Fang Yue and Zhao Qian were taken to the Yamen and put into a cell.

The cell was dark and damp, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air.

Zhao Gan sat on the ground dejectedly, with a look of helplessness and despair.

"Brother Fang, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble." He said guiltily.

Fang Yue waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

He looked around, observing the environment and structure of the cell, and already had a calculation in his mind.

"Brother Zhao, you don't have to blame yourself."

Fang Yue consoled him, "Thank you for taking care of me along the way, and I have been through all the difficulties. Moreover, I believe we will be able to go out soon."

Zhao Qian raised his head and looked at Fang Yue, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

But then, it was extinguished and annihilated.

Zhao Qian sighed and continued: "Brother Fang, you don't know something. The officialdom of Wei Dynasty is very dark.

Some counties respect petty officials and do whatever they can to get what they want. If we were caught this time, we might not be able to get out easily. "

As a caravan manager, he traveled to various places for many years and knew the officialdom of the Wei Dynasty very well.

If the other party just wants to extort some money, they usually won't arrest them directly. But this time they came directly to arrest him without even giving him a chance to get money to buy his life.

It seems that this time he is prepared to die.

Zhao Qian's words made the atmosphere in the cell even heavier.

However, Fang Yue was not worried as he could easily escape from prison due to his strength.

Besides, if he reveals his identity, the county magistrate here will immediately treat him as an honored guest.

It can be said that getting out of jail is a piece of cake.

"Okay, Brother Zhao, don't worry, maybe we can go out tomorrow." Fang Yue said.

Zhao Qian listened to Fang Yue's comfort, shook his head, and said nothing more, but he was still desperate in his heart and did not believe what Fang Yue said.

After all, he has connections in this city. If they were caught, the other party would naturally know.

But now, no one has come, so there is no need to think that the other party must have given up on them.

So, at present, no matter how you look at it, these people are regarded as abandoned children.

Despair surged in Zhao Qian's heart like a tide. He lowered his head again and held his head with both hands, as if he wanted to isolate it all.

He also has some connections in this city, but now, none of those so-called connections have appeared. You don't need to think about it to know that they must have been abandoned.

Fang Yue looked at Zhao Qian's look and understood what he was thinking. He knew that any words of comfort now were in vain, and only practical actions could prove everything.

So, he walked to the cell door and carefully observed the structure of the lock and the cell door.

Then, he stretched out his hand and gently touched the lock, as if feeling its temperature and texture.

When Zhao Qian saw Fang Yue's actions, he raised his head with some confusion and looked at Fang Yue: "Brother Fang, this is a cell specially designed to hold warriors. Without the cultivation of Qi Sensing, it is impossible to break the cell door."

Fang Yue listened to Zhao Qian's words and smiled softly but did not answer.

A cell with just a little bit of Xuanying's fine iron couldn't trap him.

Fang Yue smiled softly after hearing this and said to Zhao Qian: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I have my own solution."

He said, carefully observing the structure of the lock and the cell door again.

Although this is a cell specially used to hold warriors, for Fang Yue, this is not a problem.

~~~~~

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. You two are really lucky today. We have just changed a chef here, and his cooking skills are amazing."

"So, you two are lucky to have a good last meal."

At nightfall, the guard's voice came from outside the cell, breaking the silence in the cell.

Then, a jailer walked in with two bowls of steaming food. He leaves meals outside his cell.

The distance is neither far nor close, just beyond the reach of Fang Yue and Zhao Qian with outstretched arms.

The aroma of the food filled the cell, arousing Zhao Qian's appetite, and he wanted to be a full man even if he died.

But it just can’t be reached!

"Hey, please, can you bring the food closer?"

Zhao Qian tried his best to sound polite. After all, he was a prisoner now, so he should try not to offend the jailer if he could.

Hearing this, the jailer glanced at Zhao Qian with a joking smile on his face:

"What? You still think you are the manager of the caravan? Now you are a prisoner. It's good to have food to eat. Why are you picky?"

"Hey, if you lie down on the ground and learn how to bark like a dog, I might even be kind and give you a good meal. Otherwise, just wait and starve to death!"

As he spoke, he deliberately kicked the two bowls of food with his feet, causing some of the food to spill on the ground, and then burst into laughter.

Looking at the jailer's actions, Zhao Qian felt angry in his heart, but more importantly, he was still helpless and desperate.

He knew that he could not conflict with the jailer under any circumstances now, otherwise it would only make the situation worse.

Zhao Qian took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.

He turned his head and looked at Fang Yue, only to see Fang Yue still standing aside calmly, as if he was not affected by the jailer's provocation.

Fang Yue shook his head slightly, signaling Zhao Qian to calm down.

He had been watching from the sidelines, not angry at the jailer's actions. For a villain like the jailer, it is not worth being angry.

After all, if the other party humiliates them at this time, and when they escape, these jailers will probably be held responsible for neglecting their duties.

After a while, I saw that Fang Yue and the two were not on the right track.

Seeing that it was boring, the jailer cursed a few words and left.

Fang Yue watched the jailer leave triumphantly, sneering in his heart.

These jailers thought they had the power of life and death, but they didn't know that they were just small players, not even pawns in this game.

He turned to look at Zhao Qian, and saw that Zhao Qian's face had turned livid, and he was obviously extremely angry.

He knew that Zhao Qian was a bloody man and could not bear this kind of humiliation, so he patted his shoulder gently to signal him to calm down.

"Brother Zhao, you don't have to be like this villain."

Fang Yue said calmly, "They are proud now just because we are temporarily in their hands. After we get out, it will not be too late to settle accounts with them."

After hearing Fang Yue's words, Zhao Qian's anger calmed down a little.

He nodded, indicating that he understood what Fang Yue meant.

The two sat back in the corner of the cell and waited silently. ,

Soon, several more hours passed.

Fang Yue, who was closing his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up: "Brother Zhao, come with me."

After the words fell, Zhao Qian also woke up, but he looked confused: "Brother Fang, what did you say? Where are you going?"

Fang Yue didn't answer, but went directly to the prison door and waved his hand gently.

"Brother Fang, it can't be opened."

Zhao Qian originally wanted to persuade Fang Yue that this prison was strong and could not be opened if he was not strong enough. On the contrary, he would also attract guards for making noise, and he would definitely be beaten severely.

But before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly.

Because he saw an incredible scene.

Fang Yue stretched out his hand and gently twisted the lock of the cell door.

There was a soft "click" sound, and the strong iron lock was like paper, and it was easily broken by Fang Yue.

Zhao Qian's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

He originally thought that the prison was impenetrable and difficult to escape. But now it seems that in front of Fang Yue, the prison is as fragile as paper.

"Fang, Brother Fang, what are you doing?"

Zhao Qian swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty.

"Let's go, Brother Zhao."

Fang Yue didn't explain much, just said something lightly, and then walked out of the cell first.

Zhao Qian saw this and quickly followed him.

The two of them traveled smoothly and soon arrived at the gate of the prison.

At this time, there were two guards on duty at the gate.

When they saw Fang Yue and Zhao Qian approaching, they were stunned for a moment, and then quickly drew out their weapons.

"Stop! Who are you? How did you get out of the cell?"

A guard shouted loudly.

Fang Yue did not answer his words, but waved his hand directly.

An invisible force flew out instantly and accurately hit the guard's chest.

The two guards felt a pain in their chests, and then they flew out, fell heavily to the ground, and passed out.

~~~~~~~~A moment later, in the courtyard of the east city gate.

"You are here tonight. Those people in the Yamen must not have thought that you would still be here." Fang Yue said to Zhao Qian and others.

After escaping from the prison, he naturally also rescued all the caravan members imprisoned in the prison.

"Brother Fang, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness! If you are of any use to me, Zhao Qian, in the future, just ask."

Zhao Qian looked at Fang Yue with gratitude. He knew that his escape tonight was all due to Fang Yue's methods.

Fang Yue waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

The reason why he came to the rescue was, on the one hand, because Zhao Qian and others were really taken care of, and on the other hand, he couldn't stand what those corrupt officials were doing.

"Brother Zhao, what are your plans next?" Fang Yue asked.

Zhao Qian pondered for a moment, and then said: "We originally planned to sell the goods here and then purchase some Yuanzhou specialties, but now that something like this has happened, we can only leave here quickly and go back to avoid the limelight."

Fang Yue nodded, agreeing with Zhao Qian's idea.

"Then you wait until dawn before leaving. It should be safe by then. I will see you off not far away." Fang Yue said.

He had no intention of going with Zhao Qian and others because he still had his own things to do.

Zhao Qian also knew that Fang Yue's identity was not simple, so he naturally did not dare to force it.

He clasped his fists and said, "Brother Fang, take care!"

Fang Yue smiled slightly, then turned and walked in the other direction.

He knew that his fate with Zhao Qian and others would end here.

Next, he has to do his own thing.

You can't just be thrown into jail for nothing.

Always, you have to find the county magistrate here to settle the account.

~~~~~~~~~

But he said that at this time, Fang Yue and others were also discovered in the prison who had escaped.

"Sir, it's bad! Those prisoners have escaped!" A jailer ran to the county magistrate's mansion in panic and shouted.

The county minister was sipping tea in his study. When he heard the news, his expression suddenly changed.

"What? Escaped from prison? How is that possible!" He stood up suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Yes, sir. The lock of the cell door was broken, and all the prisoners ran away." The jailer said tremblingly, not daring to raise his head.

When the county magistrate heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over.

He never expected that these people would dare to escape from prison. Don't these people have any sense at all? If they are caught, they will be beheaded obediently and become his political achievements.

How can they escape privately!

This is simply a slap in his face, and they simply don't take him seriously!

If this matter spreads out tomorrow, will he still have face!

"Good-for-nothings! A bunch of good-for-nothings!" The county magistrate cursed angrily, "You can't even keep a few prisoners, what's the use of you!"

The jailers were trembling with fear and dared not say a word.

They knew that if this matter got out of hand, they would definitely be punished.

"Sir, what should we do now?" A slightly braver jailer asked cautiously.

The county magistrate took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He knew that getting angry now would not solve the problem.

The most urgent task was to catch the fugitives as soon as possible and save face.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the county magistrate, and he said coldly: "Immediately mobilize all the constables and yamen runners to search the whole city!

Be sure to catch all the fugitives before dawn! If anyone dares to resist or shelter, kill them without mercy!"

"Yes!" The jailer responded, and then turned around to convey the order.

The county magistrate paced back and forth in the study with a gloomy face.

This time, the caravan was captured to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and give a warning to those disobedient caravans.

As the magistrate of a county, he naturally knew how to squeeze the most benefits from these caravans.

If this thing goes wrong, it will be difficult to do so again in the future.

The night is as dark as ink, but the streets of Yuanzhou City are brightly lit and bustling.

Teams of constables and yamen runners holding torches and weapons patrolled back and forth on the streets, searching for the traces of fugitives.

The people were awakened and hid at home, afraid to go out, for fear of being implicated.

The entire Yuanzhou City was turned upside down, but there was still no trace of Fang Yue and others.

The county magistrate anxiously waited for news in the study, and every quarter of an hour seemed as long as a year.

If those people escaped, his reputation and prestige would be severely hit.

It would not be so easy to squeeze profits from those caravans in the future.

The night gradually faded, and a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon.

However, the result of the search disappointed the county magistrate.

After a night of search, not even a trace of the fugitive was found. It was as if those people disappeared out of thin air.

"How is it possible? How can we not find them?" The county magistrate paced back and forth anxiously, with a look of disbelief and anger on his face.

Escape at night, the city gates are not open, so those people must still be in the city!

But after a night of search, there was no result.

He could not accept such a result, which was simply a slap in his face.

"Sir, could those fugitives still be hiding in the original yard?" a constable guessed cautiously.

The county magistrate heard this and suddenly stopped and looked at the constable.

"Fool, who would be so stupid! How is it possible! Do you think these cunning merchants are fools? They were caught there, how could they hide back there!

It must be the help of those people in the city, otherwise how could they not be found!" the county magistrate roared angrily.

The constable was frightened and trembled, and dared not say anything.

He also knew that his idea was a bit whimsical, but other than that, he really couldn't think of where the fugitives could go.

"Keep searching! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find those fugitives for me!" (End of this chapter)
