Chapter 1449: Zhuge Wolong
Jiang Hao found an inn in the county and rented a room with a small courtyard. The rent was not cheap, but the courtyard was very elegant and quiet, with a unique courtyard, a master bedroom, a guest room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, just to rent it to high-end guests.
Not long after, a figure flashed out in the room and bowed to Jiang Hao and said, "Young Master, I found a secret room at the Qian County Magistrate's house. I was under the bed of the bedroom of the county magistrate's main room. His money was placed in the secret room."
A smile appeared on Jiang Hao's face.
A person suddenly emerged from the underground secret room of the county government office. It was pitch black and there was no light at all. Jiang Hao shone on his eyes and opened the sky eye. The sky eye not only could not only look at the air, but also had a certain ability to see the night vision.
The secret room was about twenty square meters, and there were several huge camphor wood boxes in the corner. Jiang Hao opened one, and there were a neatly packed silver ingots, with a total of seven. Jiang Hao guessed that there should be about 30,000 taels.
On a stone table next to it, there was a small box. When I opened it, I saw it filled with all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry. The things in this box were also valuable.
Jiang Hao touched the boxes one by one, without any politeness, and had all the room for income.
Other practitioners may disdain to do such burglary, for fear of damaging their reputation and even more afraid of damaging their minds and minds. However, Jiang Hao doesn't care at all. He stole more money and stole it in Manhattan Vault in the United States. What is this little money?
Before, Jiang Hao had earned hundreds of taels of silver from the old fox and spent almost the same amount of money. Now he didn't have to worry about the money.
I just don’t know if the magistrate of Ura’an County will be in a state of pain if he saw the money he had worked hard to plunder for several years disappeared.
......
"Bangbangbang!"
It's time to night.
The prison guards in the prison went around again and saw that the prisoners were sleeping honestly. They returned to the door and sat down, yawned, leaned on the back of the chair and started to sleep.
At this moment, a head emerged from the ground, looked at the prison situation, poked out half of his body, and ejected two soybeans at the two prison guards.
Puff~!
The soybeans hit the two prisoners' acupoints, and the two guys fell asleep immediately.
Jiang Hao shrank back, sneaked under a prison, got out of the ground, and stood in the cell.
In the prison, an old man in tattered clothes, holding a grass stem in his mouth, closing his eyes to rest, crossing his legs, and his feet were still shaking. In the pile of thatched trees beside him, a man in gray clothes curled up, and only saw his back was visible.
Suddenly,
The old man felt something strange in the cell. When he opened his eyes, he found a man in a moon-white robe standing in the cell, which jumped off the old man. How could there be a big living person in vain?
The old man was about to speak out, but Jiang Hao immediately put his finger beside his mouth, "Don't make a sound, it will be bad if he quarrels with others."
The old man immediately stopped.
Jiang Hao also recognized who the old man was at this moment and bowed, "I dare to ask if it's Mr. Zhuge Wolong?"
"You are a human or a ghost, why do you appear in the cell quietly?" Zhuge Wolong asked curiously and nervously.
"Are you afraid of people or ghosts?" Jiang Hao asked with a faint smile.
Zhuge Wolong was asked by this sentence, then chuckled, "Yes, I am afraid of people or ghosts. I am like this now, and it is harmed by humans. Death is also a kind of relief for me. I have already done this. So what if you are a human or a ghost?"
Hearing the conversation, Ning Caichen, who was already sleeping unscrupulously, woke up, turned his head, and with the help of the dim light in the prison, he saw that there was one more person in the prison. Ning Caichen sat up and looked at Jiang Hao and asked Zhuge Wolong, "Senior Zhuge, when is there one more person in our cell?"
Zhuge Wolong shook his head, "I don't know either."
Jiang Hao looked at Ning Caichen and found that it was his brother. He had a beard on his face because he was imprisoned here, and he looked much older.
"But Brother Ning Caichen." Jiang Haogong bowed and asked.
Ning Caichen was shocked and immediately stood up, grabbed Jiang Hao's hand, and said anxiously: "You, you know me, you know my name is Ning Caichen, I just said I am not Zhou Abing. No one here believes it. Do you know me? Can you tell me about it with the yamen runners? I am really not Zhou Abing. They caught the wrong person and asked them to let me go."
He was caught in a confused manner and was imprisoned in a confused manner. Ning Caichen called out countless times that he was wronged, but no one listened at all. Now that someone who knew him finally appeared, he seemed to have caught a life-saving straw.
Jiang Hao looked at Ning Caichen. Speaking of which, he was just an ordinary scholar.
"Brother Ning, you said you were wronged. In fact, those yamen runners, constables, and hunters also knew that you were wronged, but they needed someone to go to jail and catch the fugitive to get the court bounty. It's that simple." Jiang Hao said.
Ning Caichen's face turned ugly after hearing Jiang Hao's words, and he murmured in a daze: "Is there no reason in this world to be said?!"
Jiang Hao smiled and patted Ning Caichen on the shoulder, "Brother Ning, don't be anxious, I'm here to save you."
When Ning Caichen heard this, he immediately showed an excited expression and could finally go out, but then he became nervous again. He came to the edge of the prison cell and secretly looked at the direction where the prison guard was on the thick wooden railing.
"Brother Ning, they are already fainted by me. No matter how the sky collapses and the earth is broken, they will not wake up until tomorrow." Jiang Hao said.
In the future, I turned to look at Zhuge Wolong, "Senior Zhuge, let's go together."
Zhuge Wolong sighed slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I never planned to go out!"
"Why?"
"So what can I do when I go out? I, Zhuge Wolong, was proud of my youth. The top scorer in high school entered the Hanlin Academy. After that, I became an official all the time. People said that I was a very smart person, but in the end it was not a waste."
"The emperor is stupid, and all civil and military officials are more greedy and hypocritical. The people live in poverty. No one asks about the sufferings among the people. I am not pedantic or stupid. I just don't want to be with the crowd. I advise you many times, but I am demoted again and again, and I am excluded by my colleagues. In the end, I am indifferent to the lack of officials."
"Well, at that time, I thought, giving up the officialdom and writing books. Who knew, they wrote travel notes. They said that I leaked state secrets; they wrote history, they said that I used the past to mock the present; they annotated the art of war, and they said that I instigated rebellion; they wrote stories of gods and monsters, and they said that I led superstitiousness; they finally rewrite the biography of a celebrity, but the end of this celebrity was in trouble, and I was named an accomplice of the rebels. Hehe, I was sentenced to life imprisonment with him... Alas, life is just a prison!"
Ning Caichen remembered his experience and said with tears in his eyes, "In this world, it turns out that being a good person will not be rewarded."
Jiang Hao thought for a while, "Mr. Zhuge, since you have talent and knowledge in your heart, why not find a place to write down what you want to write. Even if you cannot appear in the world now, it may not be impossible in the future. Leaving something for future generations will not be a waste of time."
Zhuge Wolong was slightly moved when he heard Jiang Hao's words, but after thinking about it, he shook his head, "I am alone and penniless, and I am a serious criminal in the court. How can I settle down after I go out? Forget this life in this prison."
"Mr. Zhuge, I have a place where I can settle down. As for my identity, you have lived in this prison for decades, and there are still a few people who remember you. When I get to my place, Mr. Zhuge can write a book with peace of mind." Jiang Hao said.
Zhuge Wolong thought for a while, "Okay, then thank you Young Master. In fact, I have been digging holes over the years and have already dug very deep. I guess I will be able to dig them soon."
Jiang Haoxin said, you are the ancient version of Shawshank.
"Why do you have to be so troublesome?" Jiang Hao smiled.
As he said that, he came to the prison door, and had an iron wire on his hand. He poked the door lock gently, and the door lock opened with a click.
"Isn't it good to go out directly?" Jiang Hao waved his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
When the three passed by the prisoner, Ning Caichen was afraid of waking up the other party, so he walked carefully. Jiang Hao led the way in front and opened the prison door. The three of them came to the courtyard in a noble manner. Jiang Hao grabbed Ning Caichen and Zhuge Wolong's arms, urged the ground to activate spiritual power, and led the two to fly over the high wall.
The three of them fell on the street, and Ning Caichen was a little disbelief, "We're coming out now?"
"I have long heard of the legends of strange people in the world, and I have seen them today!" Zhuge Wolong sighed.
The three of them walked through the street for a while and came to the inn courtyard where Jiang Hao rented. Jiang Hao grabbed the two of them and jumped into the courtyard.
The lights on the main room were on, and Zhu Guang pushed the door out and bowed to Jiang Hao and said, "Young master, the hot water is ready and the clothes are ready."
Jiang Hao said to Zhuge Wolong and Ning Caichen, "It's better to take a shower and change your clothes first, and we'll talk later."
Zhuge Wolong thoughtfully, this young hero was quite thoughtful and even prepared the bath water and clothes. From this, it can be seen that he had sufficient confidence in rescuing the two of them.
Zhuge Wolong and Ning Caichen walked into the bathroom, where two large wooden barrels were placed inside, and the water inside was still steaming. There were soap kettles and soap beside the barrel, and two new sets of scholarly robes were neatly placed on the chair next to them.
Don’t doubt whether there is soap or soap in this dynasty. This is really not made by Jiang Hao himself.
There is a paragraph in the original text of "Jinping Mei Ci": "Ximen Qing said: "I'm waiting for the girl to take the jasmine soap to wash my face." Jinlian said: "I can't say anything. Baba searches for that soap to wash your face. No wonder your face is whiter than someone's butt!"
Why do I remember this paragraph so clearly? It's strange.
The two were locked in prison and hadn't taken a shower for a long time. As soon as they entered the bathtub, they immediately hummed comfortably. For them, taking a hot bath is the most beautiful enjoyment in the world.
Ning Caichen shampooed his hair with soap beans and asked while washing, "Senior Zhuge, who is the knight you are? He took such a big risk to save you?"
Old Zhuge, who was rubbing his back with a towel, was stunned and turned to look at Ning Caichen, "Aren't he here to save you? I'm just by the way."
Ning Caichen paused, "I don't know him."
"I don't know you either." Zhuge Wolong said in surprise.
"This is strange, why did he take the risk of saving us two out???"
The two of them were confused. After taking a shower, they changed their clothes. Ning Caichen shaved off their beards, and Zhuge Wolong also tidied them up. The two suddenly became refreshing. As soon as they walked out of the bathroom, Zhu Guang was waiting outside and bowed to them and said, "Two gentlemen, my young master has put a banquet in the living room to vacuum them."
When the two of them heard this, they just went over to ask the question in their hearts.
Chapter completed!
