There was dim candlelight in the prison, and the mottled walls cast two sneaky shadows, one tall and one short.
All the government servants scattered on the ground fainted.
Mu Xiaobao jumped across the gap and ran over, "Uncle Ye, hurry up and follow us, we don't have much time!"
Ye Beiling rummaged through the yamen's bodies one by one for keys, but unfortunately no one was left to ask which one opened which door. In the end, he had to take several keys.
What a mistake. It’s my first time doing something like this because I have no experience. I’ll definitely learn from it next time I go to jail!
When Ye Beiling followed, he saw Mu Xiaobao standing in the middle corridor bargaining with a group of prisoners.
"Uncle, you are so poor, you should live here!"
"No, no, I want to escape from prison for only ten taels of silver. You will starve to death if you go out!"
"A thousand pieces of gold? Uncle, you don't look like a rich man, how can you have the nerve to lie to a child!"
Finally some prisoners couldn't stand it anymore!
"Less is not enough. If it's more, you don't believe it. How much do we need to let us go? You're just fooling us!" A disheveled prisoner held the cage and looked at him fiercely.
Mu Xiaobao smiled and said, "Uncle prisoner, you are finally smart for once. Xiaobao is a child, so of course he is playful!"
Ye Beiling hurriedly pulled him away, "Don't waste time here, we still have a mission!"
Behind the scenes, there was a chorus of curses from prisoners.
Mu Xiaobao actually knew in his heart that they were not here to cause trouble. If the trouble was too big, it would be bad for his mother to curse, so he had no intention of opening the cell door!
The two of them reached the corner leading to the underground floor and faced a locked door. Ye Beiling began to frantically search for a matching key among the large bunches of keys.
Mu Xiaobao watched silently for a while, then looked up at Ye Beiling, "Uncle Ye, will it be almost dawn by the time you find the key?"
"So hurry up!"
Mu Xiaobao sighed softly and nodded Ye Beiling with his finger, "Uncle Ye, give way!"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, maybe this is the right one... Hey, it looks almost the same, but why can't it be opened..."
He continued to point his finger, "Uncle Ye, don't believe in yourself anymore!"
"Maybe it's this one." Ye Beiling moved his hands quickly in a self-righteous manner.
Mu Xiaobao looked at his efficiency and couldn't bear it anymore. He took out a slender small iron piece from somewhere, stood on tiptoes, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it around.
Just a 'click' sound was heard, and the lock opened.
Ye Beiling's movements stopped instantly, "Do you have the key?"
Mu Xiaobao put the small iron pieces back in place and said in confusion, "No, Xiaobao just knows how to open locks! Uncle Ye, you don't have any skills at all, why are you out here!"
He is a good boy with a clean family background and has behaved well since he was a child. Who wants to come out and mess around!
"But how come you do these crooked things?"
"Because Xiaobao doesn't follow the right path to begin with!"
"Who!" A loud shouting sound immediately came from the gate.
Mu Xiaobao slowly opened the door, and he was hiding behind the door, "Uncle Ye, here is your chance to be wise and powerful!"
Then, there were several ping-ping-pong-pong sounds mixed with screams.
Mu Xiaobao covered his ears and couldn't bear to hear.
Too cruel!
"Xiaobao, come in." He had quickly solved everything.
Mu Xiaobao stopped for a moment and suddenly turned back.
