"Me." Huang Xulang stood up, leaning his back against the wall, with a lazy posture, his legs crossed, one hand on his knees, the other hand took the straw from his mouth, and he clicked his tongue lightly.

"I wounded a few people, so I was imprisoned here." After a pause, he said impatiently again, "No one spoke after lying down for a few days, and the hair was growing on their bodies, and they didn't say when Let me go."

Ruan Qing was choked.He really didn't expect that this young gentleman looked noble, like he came from a big family, but his words were so... bold and down-to-earth.

Pursing his lips, he recalled, and said slowly, "It depends on the injury of that person. According to the regulations, if the injury is serious, you may have to stay in prison for one to three years." Woolen cloth."

"Then how can I do it?" Huang Xulang heard the frying pan, "I still have something to do, who will leave it here."

Huang Xulang irritated himself for a while, then glanced at Ruan Qing who was quietly sitting in the corner, his eyes flickered, he didn't know what good things he thought of, he asked curiously, "Hey, how long are you going to squat for?"

"I don't know." Ruan Qing said, "It depends on how long the person who wants me in intends to keep me in."

But he thought it shouldn't be too long.He was really curious about what the other party would do next, so he obediently came to the official office.If he guessed wrong, shopkeeper Wang would simply want him to go to jail, that's not bad, just take care of food and shelter.If he wanted to leave, he couldn't stop him.

Huang Xulang understood what Ruan Qing said, and guessed that there must be a story behind the other party's visit.

"Are you from another place too?" Huang Xulang asked.

"how do I say this?"

"Ah." Huang Xulang said, "I've been here for several days, and I overheard the jailer say that the people in these cells are all foreigners."

No wonder when I came here, I saw that the nearby rooms were empty.Ruan Qing thought to herself.

"It's the first time I've seen a prison with cells divided by regions." Ruan Qing laughed.

Huang Xulang was probably alone and couldn't hold back talking when there was no one here. Finally, someone came, so he talked a lot, "Isn't it, where are you from?"

"Peiguoqiao County"

"Coincidentally." Huang Xulang slapped his legs and said with a smile, "My fellow."

This is not good.Ruan Qing thought to herself.He doesn't know the dialect of this place.But it doesn't matter, if this person wants to ask, the worst thing is to say that he left home when he was young, and his memory is not deep.

He also became interested, "Qiao County is far away from here, why did you come here?"

"I'm here to travel." Huang Xulang said with some headaches, "I finally got permission from my father, who knows that I will spend a lot of time here. What about you?"

Ruan Qing came up with her own rhetoric again.The other party sighed after hearing this.

Unknowingly, it was evening, and the clerk came over with the rice, stuffed two bowls of rice through the gap in the wooden railing, and left.

Ruan Qing didn't even glance at him.Or Huang Xulang got up to get it.

After the other party went down to the ground, Ruan Qing realized that this man was very tall, about a head taller than him, with an excellent figure, broad back and strong waist, tall and straight, with slender limbs, he looked like a martial arts practitioner.

He reached out to pick up the bowls one by one, walked up to Ruan Qing, and handed over a bowl.

"Thank you." Ruan Qing took it, glanced at it, lowered her eyelids again, retreated to the corner to lean against, and put it aside casually.

Huang Xulang was not picky, so he finished his meal in two or three bites. Seeing that Ruan Qing didn't move, he guessed that the other party might not be used to it, so he said, "Let's eat. It looks like we'll have to be locked up for a long time. The food here isn't good, but we won't starve to death." If you miss this meal, no one will deliver it to you at night, and you will have to wait for the next meal hungry."

Judging from the meaning of his words, it is estimated that this person had tossed and tossed for a while when he first arrived.

"I really can't eat." Ruan Qing saw that the other party's bowl was empty.The other party was tall and tall, so he guessed that this food should not be enough, so he said, "If you don't have enough, I can take these too."

Seeing Ruan Qing like this, Huang Xulang knew that the other party would have to get used to it for a while before giving up completely, so he didn't shirk, took Ruan Qing's bowl and ate the rice together.Put the dishes back in place.

Night fell quickly.Ruan Qing was afraid of being tricked, so instead of lying down to rest, she sat cross-legged, exhaled slowly, and adjusted her energy.

It's always quiet at night.From time to time, there was a rubbing sound on the opposite bed, as if the body was turning over.Ruan Qing didn't care.

As time went by, the tossing and turning sound didn't stop, but became more frequent, accompanied by heavy breathing, and fine crackling sounds made out of patience.

Ruan Qing finally felt that something was wrong, he got out of bed, and under the moonlight, he came to the couch and saw the other party clutching his stomach.

"what happened to you?"

There is still firelight coming in from outside the corridor. It's not that you can't see your fingers in the room, but the light is a bit dim, and your vision will inevitably be blocked.

He bent down and pushed the opponent's arm, seeing the opponent clearly, his pupils constricted involuntarily.

Huang Xulang frowned tightly, his face was as haggard as a piece of white paper, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.

"I have severe abdominal pain." Huang Xulang opened his eyes, looked at Ruan Qing, gritted his teeth and said, with uncontrollable sobs coming out of his throat from time to time.

Ruan Qing touched the other person's back, and it was all soaked in sweat.

"Does it hurt here?" He pressed the opponent's stomach, and the opponent responded.

He touched the other person's lower abdomen again, and it also hurt badly.

Why is this happening?

Ruan Qing took the opponent's hand to feel his pulse, but the opponent's hand trembled uncontrollably under his fingers.As time went by, his frown became tighter and tighter.

"You..." Ruan Qing put down the opponent's hand and was about to speak, but there was a strange sound in the opponent's throat.Huang Xulang hurriedly leaned sideways on the side of the couch, stretched out his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ruan Qing looked terrifying.This is definitely not as simple as eating a bad stomach.

"Come on, come on." He hurried to the door and shouted while grabbing the railing, "Someone has been poisoned."

He yelled twice but no one responded, but the panting behind him became more and more rapid.

Ruan Qing's heart sank gradually, feeling cold.

Someone really wanted him to die.He has been with Huang Xulang since he came in and now, it seems that the poison should be in the food.

But how would the other party know which bowl of rice he would eat?

At this moment, Ruan Qing's face was gloomy and frightening, as if water could drip out at any time, his brain was running at high speed.

If his expectations were correct, the enemy should have poisoned both bowls to ensure that he would eat them.But he didn't expect that after all the calculations, he has already inedied and no longer needs to eat frequently.Just like assassinating him in an inn, the enemy would never have thought that he would meditate and adjust his breath all night.

In this way, he was the one who got the boy involved.

Thinking of that boy, Ruan Qing woke up suddenly, and when he listened carefully, there was no sound behind him.

He hurriedly turned around and went back to the young man, only to see the young man lying quietly, his breathing was already out of breath.

How to do?

For some reason, Ruan Qing, who was always calm, panicked because of this young man whom he had only known for a short time and whose name he did not know.

"Wake up, hold on." He patted the other person's face.

Huang Xulang struggled to open his eyes, his narrow and sharp pupils revealed sadness, he gasped for breath, and said with difficulty, "If I die, please take a message back to my father."

"You'll be fine." Ruan Qing interrupted and said firmly.He made a backhand tactic, and a small celadon bottle appeared on his palm.

He poured out a brown pill and pressed it against the young man's lips, "Take it, and you'll be fine."

Ever since Sun Ce used up the medicine, there were not many pills left.Now that he had broken up with Emperor Ziwei, it was even more impossible to go to Nanhua to ask for medicine.So the few remaining pills are precious.

But he took it out anyway.Ruan Qing couldn't figure out why she had to do so much.

Maybe it's because the young man got into such a catastrophe because of him, or maybe...

Ruan Qing looked down at the boy's long and narrow eyes.He hadn't seen such eyes for a long time.

Kneeling on the side of the couch, watching the young man's breathing gradually slow down and become stronger, his face gradually recovered, no longer the scary look just now.

The poison came on quickly, and dissipated quickly, and within a short while, the young man had recovered to a seven or eighty-eight degree, and he had the strength to speak to him.

"You mean, the food was poisoned?"

"I think it should be." Ruan Qing didn't tell the boy about herself.

"Why?" Huang Xulang was puzzled, "You and I came from other places, who could bribe the prison guards and take my life. If it weren't for you, I would have almost died in a foreign country."

Huang Xulang didn't ask Ruan Qing about those pills.Everyone has their own secrets.He also didn't suspect that it was a trick directed and performed by Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing didn't answer, so Huang Xulang continued to analyze, but his voice was a little lower, "I've been here for many days and nothing happened. When you came here, you said that whether you can get out of prison depends on what others think. With all due respect, the poison is most likely aimed at you."

Ruan Qing did not expect that this young man, who seemed to be careless, was so delicate.After going around the ghost gate, I can still think of what the two said at the beginning, and analyze it, it is really not to be underestimated.

"What you said is reasonable." Ruan Qing also lowered her voice.Just now he asked people to get no response, now maybe someone is watching them secretly.

He said, "But I don't know who I offended. I have only been here for a few days. I went to the inn to find a job, and then I was caught stealing and sent in. But I didn't steal. The shopkeeper also If I don’t investigate carefully, I don’t know why, but my attitude is very firm and I must be sent to the government.”

Huang Xulang pondered for a moment, then leaned closer to Ruan Qing's ear.

The most sensitive part of Ruan Qing was his ears. When the scorching breath hit his skin, he immediately became aroused and leaned back, his voice couldn't help but a little higher, "What are you doing!"

The young man sat cross-legged on the bed, looking helplessly at Ruan Qing who had fallen to the ground, "I have an idea to lure someone out, so come here and tell you."

"Oh." Ruan Qing leaned her head over in a embarrassed manner.

After a while in the prison, there was no sound at all.

It was late at night, and two figures appeared outside the door at the end of the corridor. As they walked in one after the other, the shadows outside faded away. official.

They walked in the dim light, and arrived at the cell where Ruan Qing was, looking through the gap in the railing.According to the light, only two vague figures can be seen.One was lying on the couch, and the other was lying under the other's couch.

The little official knocked on the railing and shouted, "Get up."

The two of them didn't seem to hear them, and remained motionless.The little official then sneered, opened the cell door, and the two walked in.

"Move this first." said the man who followed.

The two stood at one end and one foot, and were about to bend down and lift up.

The man suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and grabbed the wrist of the little official who was about to move his upper body, and pulled it away. Just as the little official was about to scream, Ruan Qing pulled down immediately.

The little official was bent over, unable to use his strength, and was about to throw himself on Ruan Qing.

Ruan Qing turned over and hid. When the little official fell to the ground and didn't react, she jumped on the little official's back, tied his hands behind her back, and stuffed the socks she had taken off earlier in the morning into the small official's back. mouth, in case the loud shouts startled others.

And Huang Xulang, who was on the couch beside him, also jumped up when Ruan Qing opened his eyes, subduing him in twos and threes.

Compared with Ruan Qing's gentle gag, this one's method is much simpler.Seeing that this person was about to open his mouth, he slapped him directly.

Huang Xulang is a martial arts practitioner, with great strength, his hands are like cattail fans, and they are covered with calluses and are very rough and stiff.This blow directly knocked the other party to the ground, completely dumbfounded.

He threw the man into the corner like a chicken, and turned around to see Ruan Qing sitting on the back of the little official, holding each other's hands with both hands.Without a rope, it is obvious that they do not know how to control people.

He patted Ruan Qing on the shoulder, and when Ruan Qing looked back at him, he waved his hands, signaling Ruan Qing to get up.Then he grabbed the little official by the back of his neck and threw him into the corner as well.

For such a heavy person, you can lift it when you say it, and throw it away when you say it.Huang Xulang's attack was extremely intimidating.He is tall and strong.Standing in front of the corner, the shadow cast completely envelops people, like a big mountain.

The two were terrified, hugged each other tightly, and huddled tightly in the corner, wishing they could squeeze themselves into the crack of the wall.

Ruan Qing looked at the two who were afraid of Huang Xulang who were about to die, and fell silent immediately.

How should I put it, it was quite sudden.

Even though he was holding him down, the petty official still dared to break free.Huang Xulang just stood there, the little official was so frightened that he almost peed, his hands were free, and he didn't dare to take the socks in his mouth.

Maybe it's a matter of being rough, you really need a goddamn talent.

Huang Xulang looked downcastly, pointed his nostrils at the two of them, and said coldly, "Who sent you to poison?"

The two were just hugging and shivering.

Huang Xulang stared slightly, and let out a long "hmm" in a dragged tone.

The clerk was about to speak, but he said 'huh'.He took what was in his mouth and said with a trembling voice, "Yes, it's the county magistrate."

Ruan Qing stepped forward and stood side by side with Huang Xulang.When standing together like this, he realized that Huang Xulang was a little taller than he thought, and he only reached the opponent's shoulder.

He immediately asked, "Why did the county magistrate want you to be poisoned?"

"The villain doesn't know..."

"Be honest, don't hide it." Huang Xulang said, clenched his fists, and his joints made a few crisp sounds.

The little official hurriedly said, "Yes, yes. The villain really doesn't know. But whenever a foreigner comes to the prison, he will be locked up alone. If no one supervises after a while, he will be poisoned to death. Then , park the car outside the door, move the body up, and send it outside the house."

"You said it took many days for the prisoner to come to poison you. Why did you poison me as soon as I arrived?" Ruan Qing asked.

The little official shook his head, "The villain doesn't know, he just obeys orders."

So, the poisoning wasn't aimed at him alone.

Ruan Qing thought to herself.

It's just that he didn't know if the one who killed him in the inn was the same as the one who killed him here.

It was the innkeeper who insisted on sending him to the government.He was assassinated again at the inn.How could it be such a coincidence?Thinking that this Old Wang really knew something, there should be only one person who wanted to kill him twice.

He didn't know why the other party wanted to kill him, but he probably already understood why Lao Wang sent him to the government for no reason.

Old Wang should have planned to kill him in the inn.But when the theft happened, with so many people watching, Lao Wang couldn't cover it up, and he didn't want to let him go.Drive him away, I'm afraid we won't be able to find him by then.That's why he was sent to the official and let him be killed in prison.

As for why he was stabbed in the inn, Lao Wang was stunned when he saw that he was not dead the next day, but he was not shocked at all.He guessed that Old Wang knew he was going to be killed, but he didn't know when the killer would do it.Lao Wang was stunned because he wondered why he hadn't been killed for so long. After all, wouldn't there be an observation period for them to kill him, just like poisoning in prison.

In other words, Pharaoh is only responsible for providing such a place and watching the place.The last thing to do is not to interfere.So Pharaoh is not the one who will kill him in the end.

By the way, Ruan Qing suddenly remembered that Lao Wang still has a master.Could it be this person...

The stable is an official camp, and the county magistrate is involved in this matter, or is it the county magistrate who is this person...

Or in other words, the county magistrate is actually the lord of the Yang family?

But what is certain now is that this assassination was not only aimed at him, presumably his vest has not been dropped, and Emperor Ziwei has not touched it.

Huang Xulang didn't know that Ruan Qing still had so many twists and turns in his mind.After Ruan Qing finished asking, he asked again, "Where are the cars loaded with corpses going?"

"This villain doesn't know, the car was parked outside the mansion, and someone came to take it away."

Huang Xulang asked, "Aren't you afraid of being bumped into on the road by acting like this?"

"Up to this point, the county magistrate has made it easier for us. All the government servants who were on duty on this road have been transferred away, so no one has found out."

Ruan Qing asked, "What's your county magistrate's surname? What does it have to do with the An Ding Yang family, a wealthy family in the city?"

Huang Xulang looked at Ruan Qing in confusion, not understanding the connection between this matter and what they were trying to figure out.

The little official said, "Our county magistrate's surname is Zhao. I have only met the Yang family in the city a few times, and I have no contact with him on weekdays."

Well, now I know that the county magistrate and the Lord Yang are not the same person.

"How do you know that your county magistrate and the Yang family have only met each other a few times?" Ruan Qing asked immediately, without giving the other party any time to breathe.

The little official immediately cried, "This, this, this... the villain has never heard of the county magistrate and the Yang family. I just met him in a few banquets."

Ruan Qing nodded, "That...is the lord of the Anding Yang family in the city, what's his name?"

The little official was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yang Zhao, my name is Yang Zhao."

"You little warden, how do you know the name of Lord Yang?" Ruan Qing asked.

The little official gasped, tears were about to fall, "The Yang family is considered a wealthy family in our small town, and since the villain is working in the county government, it is inevitable to hear something."

Ruan Qing asked, "How much do you know about the Yang family? Tell me all about it?"

The little official said, "I heard that it is a side branch of the Anding Yang family, and is very close to General Yang Qiu. Yang Zhao's dominance in this small town is all due to Yang Qiu's support."

After asking so many questions, Huang Xulang also noticed something. He lowered his head and looked at Ruan Qing, "Did you know something a long time ago? Are you suspicious of Yang Zhao?"

"I'm not sure." Ruan Qing also raised her head to look at Huang Xulang, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Now, you can take the opportunity to escape from prison, and just wait for the dawn to open the city, and go away. This matter It’s their filthy behavior, and they will not dare to make up for the notice with great fanfare.”

"What about you?" Probably because Ruan Qing saved his life, Huang Xulang asked with concern.After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and his thick eyebrows frowned, "Do you want to take the opportunity to go and check?"

Ruan Qing didn't speak, as if acquiescing, Huang Xulang said again, "You have to know, this strategy is very risky."

"I know." Ruan Qing said, "The water here is very muddy. It's none of your business. Don't get involved. Since you are traveling, go and be your ranger happily. I also have my own business. To do."

"Ok."

Knowing that the other party has made up his mind, Huang Xulang didn't say anything else, he just smiled, "You and I are close friends, if we meet in the future, we must have a drink."

"Take care." Ruan Qing said.
