Chapter 691: Rescue of Madam Zhao in the Jail
But judging from his expression, it should be just a guess.
He was right to guess so.
After all, they had searched the entire Pingnan County these days, and the only place they had not found was the prison.
Although King Cheng was disabled, he was not stupid.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to survive in such an environment as the royal family.
If he can't guess the prison, then there's a problem.
Thinking of this, Pang Qingping no longer had any doubts. Seeing King Cheng's sincere expression, he had no choice but to speak:
"Look at what His Highness said. If His Highness wants to go to the prison to look for someone, just go and tell Lord Chu. He will definitely not stop you. Go ahead and I'll send someone to tell him first."
Pang Qingping was not in a hurry, as he had his people in the prison. As long as he arranged for his people to get rid of Nanny Zhao in advance, King Cheng would get nothing even if he went there.
"Then I'll have to trouble General Pang."
Yun Zheng thanked him.
Pang Qingping immediately ordered a guard to go to the prison first, and Yun Zheng took Kong Ren and left the mansion.
Pang Qingping looked in the direction they left, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
Another person was recruited.
"Go, get rid of that Aunt Zhao right away."
There is no point in keeping a nanny. Instead of causing more trouble, it is better to get rid of her once and for all.
Anyway, they will arrive in Beijing soon.
All the obstacles here must disappear.
This would prevent Aunt Zhao from being alive and revealing the identity of that little bastard from Daliushu Village.
All the members of the royal family should be dead before we can get things done.
Yun Zheng left Pang Qingping's sight and immediately instructed Kong Ren:
"Hurry, we have to hurry, for fear that Pang Qingping will kill to silence us."
Kong Ren walked quickly and pushed the prince towards the county governor's mansion.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Our people have already shaken off the pursuers and are lying in ambush near the prison."
Kong Ren was afraid that his master would worry, so he gave him a reminder.
"No, I'm just afraid they will start fighting in the prison and our people won't be able to get in."
Yun Zheng was still worried and confirmed again:
"Are you sure that Ming Sanniang brought people to look for the mistress today?"
Kong Ren nodded as he ran:
"Confirmed, our people saw it with their own eyes, and they should have returned home by now. But Your Majesty, will Ming Sanniang go to invite Master Chu today?"
If Lord Chu was present, it would be difficult for their people to enter the prison to rescue them.
But Ming Sanniang had just discovered that her husband had a mistress, and she was afraid that she would have to swallow her anger in silence, or think of a plan before taking action.
"Yes, I know her. She has a temper that cannot be hidden. Moreover, this matter has been revealed to her a long time ago. She has been thinking about it for so many days and only went to arrest people today. Being angry will make her lose her mind."
King Cheng was very sure.
He had known Ming Sanniang for so many years, and he knew her personality and hobbies very well.
People's preferences may change, but their personalities will never change.
Kong Ren's feet were full of energy.
The prison in the county magistrate's mansion was dark and damp.
The guard who led the charge had already arrived at the prison.
The head of the prison was a bearded man who was drinking water with his legs crossed. When he saw him coming, he stood up immediately.
"Hey, how come you have time to come to my place today? You came just in time. I'll treat you to a drink."
The bearded man pulled the guard and was about to go inside.
The guard slapped his hand away:
"We have some important business today. King Cheng will come here to look for someone in a while. You know what to do."
When the bearded man heard this, he immediately stopped smiling and became serious.
"I know. I'll send her out through the secret passage."
The guard nodded:
"Okay, then hurry up, they are about to come in, go quickly."
The guards were worried, so they waited here, and the bearded man was about to go to the jail.
At this time, two yamen runners came over and said to the bearded man with a token:
"Ma Da Huzi, I am here on the orders of the county governor to send a man over here. Lock him up first."
Behind the man was a beggar-like person who was tied up by him. It seemed that he had committed a crime.
The guard had not left yet. Seeing that the runner holding the token looked unfamiliar, he could not help but ask:
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The man was not in a hurry:
"Your Excellency is a noble man who forgets things easily. How could you possibly remember a small person like me? I have only been in the government office for a short time and have only met you once."
The man smiled in a flattering manner.
The guard still didn't believe it.
He looked at the prisoner again:
"What crime has this committed?"
The man immediately replied: "I was caught stealing."
The bearded man who was about to leave suddenly turned back:
"Stealing? Has your Excellency come to court?"
The man shook his head helplessly:
"No, the master has something urgent to do and is not in the government office, so he was sent here. If you don't believe me, go to the government office and take a look. Lock him up first and wait until the master is not busy."
The bearded man still had some doubts, but the guards couldn't wait any longer and urged him:
"It's too late, hurry up and get down to business."
The bearded man then said to the two men:
"Come in with me, and don't wander around. Just put it in the empty cell over there."
The guards were relieved when they saw that everyone had gone in. They calculated the time and realized that the prince would be here soon, so they hurried to wait not far away.
The bearded man led his men into the cell.
"Keep it here, and get out quickly."
There were two guards on duty in the cell. When they saw someone, they came over and helped throw the "prisoner" into the cell.
The bailiff did not leave immediately, but licked his lips and said:
"I'm so thirsty on the way here, please give me some water."
Having said that, he immediately took out a few pieces of silver and gave them.
He looked inside and saw that the bearded man had already reached the deepest part of the prison.
This cell is quite large, and there are even several separate small rooms inside, which are separated so that you can't see the people imprisoned inside.
The two guards took the silver and poured him a bowl of water to drink.
"Your job is really beautiful. I really want to trade with you."
After drinking a bowl of water, the man looked envious and sighed.
"You guys are good at handling cases, and there's a lot of money to be made."
"No, no, you are beautiful. If you want to come and visit me, you must give me something."
The two sides held each other, and the yamen runner suddenly sprinkled some powder in his hand, and the two people with different values fell down quickly.
He rushed inside and saw the bearded man pulling a woman into a black door.
He rushed forward and knocked the bearded man unconscious without saying a word.
Nanny Zhao was startled to see the bearded man fall down, and then saw a yamen runner grabbing her.
She didn't know what was happening and was grabbed by the man and wanted to go outside.
As a result, I heard a sound coming from outside, as if someone was coming.
The man's heart sank. He turned around and pulled Madam Zhao towards the secret door.
The drugs he used only worked for a short while.
It was just to prevent the other party from noticing. The force used to knock the bearded man unconscious was not strong enough, so I was afraid he would wake up soon.
He had to leave quickly.
There must be something mysterious behind this door.
