Wang Peng was some distance away from the dungeon door, and something happened suddenly. He tried his best to stop it and watched the door being closed. The dungeon fell into darkness again, with only the light of a few oil lamps remaining.
Wang Peng was quiet for a while, then suddenly rushed towards the dungeon door like crazy, picking, pulling, kicking, and hitting with his shoulders. However, the heavy door was locked from the outside, and Wang Peng tried his best to use it.
Everyone else watched Wang Peng going crazy in silence, and no one spoke.
God really knows how to tease people. He managed to kill two jailers and gave them a glimmer of hope of escaping, but in the blink of an eye, their hopes were dashed.
Gu Baichuan sighed softly, whether he hated the two jailers for being too slow or the commander who came back too quickly, it was meaningless.
"You bastard, coward, come and fight me, what kind of hero is it if you close the door? Your grandpa gave you a hand, and you will never break your promise..." Wang Peng leaned against the door forcefully, shouting desperately.
The prison guard who was in the same cell as Wang Peng silently used the jailer's key to first unlock the shackles on his hands, then stood up slowly and opened the doors and shackles for the brothers in other cells one by one.
No one thought that opening the lock was unnecessary, so they cooperated with him to open the lock, and then slowly gathered behind Wang Peng. Li Laosi also raised his upper body with difficulty and stared at the door.
No one spoke, and no one had the heart to tell a known result.[
Wang Peng leaned against the door and cursed all kinds of curses, but there was no response from the outside.
Slowly, Wang Peng's curses became lower and lower. He had exhausted all the strength he had accumulated from eating that dirty rat. He slowly slid down and finally sat against the door.
Gu Baichuan wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He opened and closed his mouth.
Suddenly, Wang Peng was like a frightened bird, "whooshing" up from the ground, then turned to face the dungeon door: "Someone is opening the door."
At first no one believed Wang Peng's words, thinking it was his own fantasy. But seeing how serious he looked, they started to waver again.
"Get ready to copy the guy. Wang Peng rushes out and escapes to avenge us." Gu Baichuan ordered while looking for the guy.
The servants and Zhong Jinwei's entourage surrounding the door were all in a mess. They were looking for someone, but several people bumped into each other. Even the man holding the key found that the shackles on Wang Peng's hands were not open, so he hurried over to open the lock.
.
Only a few people were using the shackles that were used to handcuff them as weapons. While most of the people were still in chaos, the dungeon door slowly opened.
Everyone was no longer prepared to look for the enemy, and was prepared to fight tooth and nail with the enemies swarming in, fighting to the death one by one.
But what they didn't expect was that the door opened, and bright light penetrated into the dungeon, making their eyes narrow slightly. However, no large group of enemies came in. Only a voice came in: "Master Marquis, the door is open." There was something in the words.
After a hint of flattery, a young man walked in surrounded by a group of people.
Although Gu Baichuan and others have not yet seen the young man's appearance clearly, they have already confirmed in their hearts that this young man is the Marquis Zhongxing whom they are familiar with.
All of a sudden, the people in the dungeon fell to their knees one after another, and some who were weak fell to the ground, shouting: "Master Marquis!" The joy of surviving a desperate situation filled the hearts of each of them.
The person who came was none other than Zhong Jinwei. As soon as he led his army to Zhangjiakou, they divided into two groups.
The group was led by Ma Xianglin, Kong Fang, and Yu Haijing, who directly took over the defense of Zhangjiakou. All officers above the general level were summoned to supervise and surrounded the entire Zhangjiakou. No one was allowed to move around at will. Soldiers posted posts everywhere, and began
Arrest all major traitors.
And he himself, led by Guitou Qi and others, led the white pole army straight into the garrison.[
When the people they encountered in the garrison saw the familiar Guitou Qi storming in with an unfamiliar army, they were immediately captured by the Baigan Army before they could figure out what was going on.
In the blink of an eye, the entire garrison was effortlessly occupied by the Baigan Army. Then Zhong Jinwei didn't bother looking for the garrison, and directly asked Guitou Qi to lead the way to the dungeon to find his guards.
For him, since he came to the Ming Dynasty, the people he is most familiar with are not the people in the Zhongxing Hou Mansion, but these guards, especially those Dongchang soldiers who have been with him day and night, and there are two people who risked their lives to save him.
Someone who has passed him.
Therefore, he was very concerned about their safety and immediately led a team to rescue them.
When Zhong Jinwei saw that his guards were all safe and sound, he felt relieved and arranged for Wei San to take the maids from the garrison to take care of them.
Gu Baichuan and others were very curious about why Zhongxing Hou suddenly appeared here. Did he not go to Qingshui Mingyue Pass, or did the Jianlu changed their route instead of Qingshui Mingyue Pass? What was the final result of the Battle of Gyeonggi, etc. There are a lot of questions
Dui, they really wanted to ask what happened, but seeing that Zhong Jinwei was very busy, they held back and did not disturb Zhong Jinwei, but asked Wei San to tell them what he knew.
Wei San had never spoken in front of the notorious Dongchang fanmen, and he stood among them for a long time and couldn't tell the truth. In the end, it was Li Laosi who asked, and he got the basic information from Wei San's mouth.
Case.
The victory at Qingshui Mingyue Pass made the guards who had been following Zhong Jinwei envious. Why didn't they catch up? Especially Wang Peng, thinking about his martial arts, if he had been at Qingshui Mingyue Pass, he would have captured him alive that night.
Aixinjueluo Amin, maybe he was the one who did it.
At this time, several maids filed in with trays and bowed slightly to Wei San. The leading maid announced in her sweet voice: "This is broth, for all the officials."
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, a "wow" sound came out. Everyone followed the sound and saw that Wang Peng was retching.
"How about we stop mentioning the word meat first?" Wang Peng regained his composure and begged for mercy.
Upon hearing this, his fellow victims understood the reason for Wang Peng's vomiting, and laughed together, leaving the maids and Wei San baffled.
Zhong Jinwei did not see Wang Peng's embarrassment. He had returned to the front office to do his work and interrogated Zhangjiakou guard Zhao Zhensong.
Zhao Zhensong was still confused about how the Guitou Qi and others he sent out to arrest Wei San led the chieftain army to arrest him. What was going on? Could it be that Wei San was a chieftain?
Now he was escorted to the lobby. When he saw a cold-faced young man sitting there, he couldn't help but said: "I am a guard in Zhangjiakou, Ming Dynasty. Who are you waiting for? Why did you arrest me?"
He had not yet thought that the chieftain army could be in the same group as the Dongchang soldiers in the dungeon, and he also thought that he did not seem to have any grudges with any of the chieftains. If only Wei San had answered smartly, he might have been able to turn the conflict into friendship and escape from danger.
Then settle accounts with them.
Zhong Jinwei was too lazy to answer the traitor and directly ordered: "Drag him out and beat him with twenty army sticks to make him sober."
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Two white-poled sergeants quickly stepped out of the queue and dragged Zhao Zhensong out.
Zhao Zhensong was stunned for a moment after hearing this. How could he be a marquis? There is no such thing as a chieftain. Before he could figure it out, he was dragged out of the lobby.
After a while, he was dragged back to the lobby and lay on the ground. His buttocks were already open and dripping with blood. The white-stick sergeant who executed him showed no mercy at all, and the beating was really heavy.
Zhao Zhensong could be considered a soldier, a bit tough, and he lay on the ground without moaning. But he knew that looking at this posture, he was afraid that he was in danger of escaping, although he didn't know what kind of disaster it was.
"Recruit you, Fan Yongdou and others who had an affair with the captives, as well as those in the military who were directly involved."
Zhong Jinwei's voice was not loud, but it frightened Zhao Zhensong out of his wits. Why is this happening? This is the biggest crime besides treason and treason. Not only will he die, but his wife, concubines, and children will also have to pay the meritorious officials as slaves; their property will be confiscated to the government.
, parents, grandparents, brothers, regardless of whether they have the same or different origins, they all moved two thousand miles away and settled down.
Zhong Jinwei saw that Zhao Zhensong was lying on the ground and started to tremble, so he said: "It doesn't matter if you don't do it, Guitou Qi and Yu Haijing both know it. But if you do, I can decide whether to give your family a light sentence. I'll give you five
Minutes, oh, I’ll give you half a quarter of an hour to think about it. After passing this village, I won’t give you another store.”
Zhao Zhensong understood immediately that the slaves in the dungeon were here directly for this purpose, and they were standing in front of the enemy, and they were not temporarily attacking Qiu Feng.
He also heard that other people had already taken refuge, and he no longer had any hope of denial. He thought of his son who was the only son of the ninth generation, and he no longer hesitated.
When Zhao Zhensong was about to confess, a soldier with a white pole came in from outside and reported to Zhong Jinwei: "Reporting to the Marquis, the commander encountered resistance in Fan Yongdou's lair. There seem to be prisoners inside. Please order whether to kill without mercy?"
