The Fourth Financial Crisis

When no one was around, Yang Lu suddenly asked: "Fellow Daoist Cheng, is what the monk from the Light Sword Sect just said true?"

Cheng Shida was slightly startled and said: "Are you talking about messing around with female prisoners? I'm actually not sure whether he has ever done such a bad thing, but as the saying goes, it may not be without reason. There must have been people who did this kind of thing in the past I have done it before. The guards at Daxueshan Prison are actually treated the same as prisoners, so it is reasonable to do such a thing!"

Yang Lu couldn't help but smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, is this Qishan Prison, which is known as the most heavily guarded prison?"

Cheng Shida heard Yang Lu's sarcastic tone and said indifferently: "People who do such bad things also have sense of propriety. They will only choose female prisoners whose cultivation level is much lower than themselves, so there won't be any problems. That way Over the years, very few prisoners in Qishan Prison have been released. Even for outsiders to visit the prison, they need the joint permission of the Arctic Cold Palace and the Wuliang Sword Sect. Often, no one can come for many years, especially after Palace Master Yin retreats. Qishan Prison has not had visitors for decades, and most prisoners have nowhere to go even if they want to redress their grievances."

The cultivators all want to bear less of the merit deducted from killing, so they put their enemies in Qishan Prison.

Except for people like Elder Zhai who invited themselves to Qishan Prison to be punished, and unlucky people like Lu Anping who were killed by political opponents to scare the monkeys, most of the prisoners had no chance of being released from the moment they were imprisoned.

There is not only no risk in engaging in unspoken rules with these dead people in futures, but you can also improve your cultivation through dual cultivation. With such a sufficient motive for committing the crime, it is no wonder that no one bought the defense of monk surnamed Shen.

Now that he had successfully passed the test, Yang Lu no longer struggled with the issue of the monk surnamed Shen, but changed the topic and said: "The Hanguang Sword Sect monk who caused trouble just now should be one of ours!"

Cheng Shida was startled for a moment, then realized: "Sure enough, we still can't hide it from Advisor Yang. This person is the disciple of Wu Yanjun, the head of the Hanguang Sword Sect! The prison guard duty room is not important in our plan, so we just do it casually Someone was arranged to meet us there. He must have noticed that we were in some trouble, so he took the initiative to come to the rescue. But even if he didn't say anything, it didn't mean anything. Who in Qishan Prison didn't do anything to cause trouble? It was just our appetite. It’s just a little too big.”

Do you have a big appetite?

Your appetite is almost endless!

Forcibly suppressing the desire to complain, Yang Lu shook his head and said: "You guys' jailbreak operation was actually able to get the cooperation of so many big guys. Thinking about it now, it's still a bit incredible!"

Cheng Shida smiled meaningfully and said: "Money is the courage of a hero. If you can't get money, no matter how powerful the team is, it will break up. Now among the various sects in the world of cultivation, which one is not desperately short of money? Dear Yuanying elders The pressure on the ancestors is also very great! In order to get some money for the cultivators who follow them to make a living, the ancestors have used all kinds of methods, otherwise there would not be so many people who have moved their evil thoughts to Qishan Over the prison head!”

Yang Lu raised his finger and pointed at the top of his head and said: "So the part of the spiritual stone you shared is not Elder Cheng Shuying's in the end? Do you still need to benefit the people below?"

Cheng Shida said noncommittally: "This is not something I should worry about. Elder Cheng must have his own sense of proportion in doing things."

Just when Yang Lu was about to continue complaining, a strange exclamation suddenly came from behind the crowd:

"You...you are Yang Lu, the special advisor of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce!"

In Qishan Prison, Yang Lu suddenly heard someone calling his name, and Yang Lu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He looked towards the source of the sound, only to find that in a cell in the distance, a familiar monk from the Wuliang Sword Sect was looking at him in surprise. Judging from his figure and appearance, he seemed to be the former special trade representative of the Wuliang Sword sect stationed in Haiya City. Lu Anping!

This really means Cao Cao. When Cao Cao arrived, he didn't expect that when everyone was silent, he actually passed by the cell where Lu Anping was imprisoned.

In fact, Lu Anping's cell was not on the same path as Yang Lu and the others. It was just that when Yang Lu was stopped, he was at the intersection of the prison passage. It happened that he was nearly a hundred meters away and his cell was located on the other side of the passage. Lu Anping noticed that if Lu Anping had spoken a second later, the two sides might have passed each other.

Lu Anping should have been keeping an eye on the goings-on outside the cell, so he could seize these fleeting seconds and take the initiative to call Yang Lu.

It can also be seen from this that Lu Anping's mental state does not seem to be normal. After all, Qishan Prison has not had a guest for decades. Who in a normal mental state would keep an eye on what is going on outside the cell!

Following Lu Anping's voice, Yang Lu also took a look at Lu Anping's cell.

As one of the least important prisoners in Qishan Prison, Lu Anping's cell can be described as shabby. It looks like a quiet room for a monk of the Transcendental School. It is less than twenty square meters in total, except for a futon for meditation in the middle. There isn't even any extra furniture outside, and it looks even ruder than a prison cell on Earth.

When things were going on in Haiya City, although Yang Lu often dealt with Zhu Ziming, he rarely had direct contact with the former supporter behind Zhu Ziming.

This is mainly because when Lu Anping was in power, Yang Lu was just an ordinary consultant of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce and was not qualified to contact such a big shot. However, when Yang Lu really came into contact with the senior leaders of the Haiya cultivation world, it was already after the Outlying Island War. It happened. It was precisely because he had mastered the magic that could be used on outlying islands without spiritual energy that he attracted the attention of the senior officials of the Haiya Department.

At that time, Lu Anping had already been in a state of panic because of the backstabbing behavior of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce. He was seizing all his time to clean up the bad things he had done. He had no intention of intervening in the daily management of Haiya City, so he strictly Speaking of which, Yang Lu only officially met Lu Anping at the Shengxian Conference. Even if they bumped into each other at other times, they were just acquaintances. Even because of the conflict between the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, the two parties did not even have a chance to exchange polite words.

However, Lu Anping now is completely different from the person he was at the Immortal Ascension Conference.

Although Lu Anping looked sinister during the Haiya Immortal Ascension Conference, as a representative of the Wuliang Sword Sect that holds the power of life and death in Haiya City, his demeanor can be said to be magnanimous. Although Lu Anping still wears the Wuliang Sword Sect outfit today He was wearing the inner deacon's robe, but he looked very haggard, as if he felt like he could not breathe at any time. The eyes he looked at Yang Lu and others were also full of restlessness.

While he was talking, he kept pacing back and forth in the small cell. It seemed that this was the only way to relieve the anxiety in his heart. He was not at all as calm and majestic as before.

When Yang Lu was a fund manager, he also suffered from severe anxiety. Lu Anping's current behavior is very much like an anxiety disorder patient having an acute panic attack. He must rely on walking to distract his attention and suppress his autonomic nerves. disorder.

Yang Lu also didn't expect that Lu Anping would look so haggard after being imprisoned for only one year. He didn't know whether it was because he was not a monk from the Transcendental Sect and could not calm down and practice in seclusion, or whether it was because Most of the prisoners in Qishan Prison are in this state.

Thinking of this, Yang Lu couldn't help but worry about the mental state of Mingzhu Ancestor and Wang Sandao who had been imprisoned for two hundred years. Now it seems that the probability that these two people are completely crazy is not small!

As his mind was spinning, Yang Lu also took advantage of the opportunity to say hello: "Junior Yang Lu, I have met Deacon Lu! It's just that today we came to Qishan Prison on business under the orders of our master, so we won't be polite to you."

Seeing that several people seemed unwilling to pay attention to him, Lu Anping said anxiously: "Don't leave, everyone. I still have something to ask for!"

Yang Lu quickly stopped the step he had just taken, turned his head and said: "Deacon Lu, we are just guests of Qishan Prison. Even if we want to help you with something, we have to ask the colleagues in Qishan Prison if they agree!"

"Consultant Yang, you are the only one who can help me now!" Seeing that Yang Lu was still willing to talk to him, Lu Anping quickly took out a trembling letter from his waist that was sealed with a blood-red restriction: "This is what I wrote to An autographed letter from my master, Elder Mo Yunlan! I heard that you are a student of old President Li Qingyang, then you must have a way to meet Elder Mo. If you see Elder Mo, give him this blood letter, Elder Mo You will definitely find a way to save me! I was wronged!"

Seeing the blood-red lines on the seal of the envelope, Yang Lu suddenly discovered that not only was the content written in Lu Anping's own blood, but even the forbidden spirit patterns on the seal were carved with blood.

When Lu Anping took out the blood book from his arms, Yang Lu saw dense scars on his wrist.

Now even senior jailer Cheng Shida was shocked: "You don't have a pen, but you actually used your own blood to write a letter?"

However, Lu Anping did not answer Cheng Shida's question, but looked at Yang Lu expectantly.

Seeing Lu Anping's urgent treatment for illness, Wang Ziwei just shook his head indifferently and said: "Lu Anping, since you will be imprisoned in Qishan Prison, it means that Elder Mo is unable to help you. Now you have been imprisoned for a year. What reason does Elder Mo have for coming to save you again? He might have forgotten you a long time ago!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! When I stepped into the Immortal Sect, Elder Mo personally taught me the natal skills. Elder Mo knows everything. He must still remember me!"

Wang Ziwei said calmly: "Elder Mo just gave you a few enlightenment lessons! Ever since Elder Mo discovered the peerless genius Mr. Lu from among the new disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect, he has taken the time to teach new disciples almost every year. A few cultivation enlightenment lessons, if this counts, then everyone in the Six Paths Sword lineage of the Infinite Sword Sect may be a disciple of Elder Mo."

Cheng Shida also said disapprovingly: "I have worked in Qishan Prison for thirty years. Almost every prisoner claims that someone can save him. However, after so many years, no prisoner has been rescued at all! Deacon Lu, you are still being rescued. The time you were detained in Qishan Prison was too short and you still have illusions. When you live in Qishan Prison for a few more years, you will no longer have such unrealistic thoughts."

Seeing that these people didn't believe him at all, Lu Anping even paced back and forth a little faster: "I'm not lying. Elder Mo can really save me! When the Law Enforcement Hall arrested me, they didn't give me anything at all. Opportunity to contact Elder Mo. Elder Mo doesn’t even know my specific charges or what evidence the Law Enforcement Hall has in hand, let alone redress my injustice! As long as I can tell Elder Mo the details of the case, Elder Mo can stand up and speak for me! As long as you are willing to help me, I can agree to any conditions!"

Cheng Shida said with a faint smile: "Lu Anping, you have been the special trade representative of Haiya City, so you must have a very rich family. Now it seems that the Infinite Sword Sect has not stolen all your wealth!"

Hearing that Cheng Shida was eyeing his property, Lu Anping's expression was not surprised but happy. He nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right! The Wuliang Sword Sect is not a fairy. I still have a lot of money in my overseas account at Haiya Bank. As long as If you are willing to help me send a message to Elder Mo, all this money belongs to you, and I definitely did not lie to you!"

However, Cheng Shida laughed loudly: "It seems that you still haven't figured out what Qishan Prison is! Let me tell you the truth, the longer you stay in Qishan Prison, the higher the price of freedom will be. Believe it or not , I don’t need to send you a letter at all, and I can get all your property. As long as you stay here for ten years, even if we provide you with a chance to go out for a while, you will obediently hand over all your property to us in exchange. !”

Before Lu Anping could answer, Yang Lu asked in surprise: "You can actually secretly give prisoners a break?"

Cheng Shida spread his hands and said: "Although this is seriously against the rules, it also depends on the price the other party can pay. As I just said, everyone who works in a bitter and cold place like Qishan Prison needs to make some extra money. This is why many people in Qishan Prison know that we are doing something, but are unwilling to take it seriously with us, because everyone’s bottom is dirty! With Deacon Lu’s net worth, I think it’s worth exchanging a few hours of freedom!”

Lu Anping was shocked and angry: "Impossible, if you want my money, you must spread this word for me!"

Cheng Shida pointed at Lu Anping with a smile, and said like a cat playing with a mouse: "I knew you would say that before you even opened your mouth! Because every prisoner in Qishan Prison who has not given up will say this! You guys don't You know what you will become if you are locked up for a long time, but don’t worry, time will change everything..."

"I won't...I won't...you have to send me a letter, otherwise I will never compromise!"

“That’s what everyone says, and then what happens?”

"I'm different from them!"

Seeing Lu Anping talking to herself like Mrs. Xianglin, Cheng Shida was too lazy to play cat and mouse. Although this kind of game was a trick that the guards at Qishan Prison liked to play, they still had business to do today.

Of course, they were not in a hurry to do their business, but they were still worried about the long nights and dreams, so Cheng Shida waved his hands and planned to take everyone away from this place.
