The second volume of the smashing Xuanjing, the one hundred and eighty-second chapter, the robbery
The green-robed man glanced at the rotten spot on the door. His expression changed slightly, but he immediately shook his head and said to himself.
"I originally thought that there was no one behind Chen Yushi, so he was doomed this time, but now it seems that is not necessarily the case. Ah Fu, close the door. From today on, I will not see any guests for half a month."
"Yes, sir!" The servant man immediately lowered his head and agreed.
The man in green robe then left with a thoughtful expression on his face.
After a meal, Liu Ming appeared in front of a rice shop at one end of a street. After looking up at the shop sign and the sky, he walked in without hesitation.
When he came out again, he had already found out the location of the Chen family's rental house.
After a while, he walked to a rather remote dilapidated house, walked up to it and knocked twice on the old door.
After a while, the door opened from inside, and an old man wearing gray cloth came out.
"Who are you looking for?" When the old man saw Liu Ming in front of the door, he didn't recognize him, and he immediately asked with a vigilant look.
"Can Yushi Chen's family be inside?" Liu Ming asked with an unchanging expression.
"What are you, Chen Yushi and Li Yushi, you are looking for the wrong place, I don't know?" The old man's face darkened when he heard this, and he closed the door without hesitation, but he was about to shut the door for Liu Ming.
But what kind of person is Liu Ming? He just swayed and blocked the old man's move with his body.
Seeing this, the old man in cloth clothes was furious. He suddenly moved his arm and punched Liu Ming's shoulder viciously. You could actually hear the "whooshing" sound of the punch, which seemed to be quite powerful.
But Liu Ming just smiled slightly and did not dodge the old man's fist at all.
After hearing a muffled sound, the old man suddenly felt his fist shake, and a huge force surged out from the Confucian scholar in front of him. Immediately after his body trembled, he involuntarily kicked back a few steps away.
Taking advantage of this moment, Liu Ming walked into the house without moving. After sweeping his eyes, he saw a middle-aged woman with a beautiful face standing in the corner with her arms around a boy who was only five or six years old.
Looking at him a little surprised.
It seems that this woman must be Mrs. Chen.
Liu Ming thought quickly.
"Thief, you're looking for death!" After the commoner man regained his balance, and saw Liu Ming's actions clearly, he immediately shouted in shock and anger, and suddenly grabbed a black iron bar lying next to him in his hand, and tried to kill it.
He rushed forward with all his might.
"Uncle Lin, wait a minute. Let's listen to what he has to say before speaking." At this moment, the beautiful woman suddenly spoke.
When the old man heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then stopped angrily, but still stood in front of the woman with the iron rod in his hand.
Liu Ming smiled slightly, and without saying a word, he took out a emerald-green jade Ruyi from his arms, and raised his hand to show it to the woman.
"This is... Uncle Lin, please bring this thing over quickly and let me take a closer look." As soon as Mrs. Chen saw Yu Ruyi's appearance clearly, her expression suddenly became excited, and her voice even trembled in a hurry.
said.
When the old man in cloth clothes heard this, although he felt a little strange, he still took the jade Ruyi from Liu Ming's hand and handed it to the woman instead.
After Mrs. Chen looked at the jade Ruyi several times, she also took out another emerald green jade Ruyi from her sleeve. After putting the two together, they all looked the same in size and shape.
"The little girl is paying homage to the Immortal Master. I hope that the Immortal Master must save my concubine and husband. Bao'er, please kowtow to the Immortal Master quickly." Mrs. Chen no longer had any doubts, and suddenly pulled the boy in front of her by the hand of Liu Ming. Kneel down on the ground and ask the boy to kowtow.
Liu Ming was startled at first, but then he shook his head and shook his sleeves. Immediately, an invisible force surged out, and at the same time he said lightly:
"Get up and talk first! I am not an immortal master. I am here just to be entrusted by others. But as long as I can do my best, I will naturally contribute to the Chen family. Just call me Mr. Qian."
"Yes, Mr. Qian." The woman felt a force in front of her, which made it impossible for him to bow down. She was filled with surprise, and Liu Ming responded with more respect, and then she pulled the boy. Stand up together.
Seeing this, Uncle Lin next to him realized that Liu Ming was a friend rather than an enemy. He hurriedly threw away the iron rod in his hand and stood beside him, not knowing what to say.
"Since the token is correct, Mrs. Chen should have no doubt about my identity, but I don't know what Yushi Chen said about me." Liu Ming asked Lin Bo calmly after he signaled to close the door again.
"Before my husband was convicted and imprisoned, he seemed to have expected that something unexpected would happen to him, so he gave this jade Ruyi to my concubine in advance, saying that as long as he really encountered trouble, a Thunder Immortal Master known to his ancestors would send someone to him. Save the Chen family." Mrs. Chen said.
"Well, your husband is right. The Master Lei Xian he mentioned is my uncle. Please tell me why Chen Yushi was imprisoned." Liu Ming nodded and said with a straight face.
"Yes, Mr. Qian. The thing is like this. As a censor, my husband once wrote to the emperor half a year ago..." Mrs. Chen immediately recounted everything attentively.
Liu Ming also listened attentively, with a thoughtful look on his face from time to time.!
"... Just like that, three months ago, a group of government officials suddenly broke into the house, arrested my husband on the spot and sent him to prison. Two months later, our mother and I were also kicked out of Chen's house. These days , If it weren’t for Uncle Lin’s loyalty and perseverance, I’m afraid I and Quanzi wouldn’t even be able to find a place to stay.” When Mrs. Chen finished her last sentence, her face was full of sorrow.
After Liu Wu listened, he touched his chin and said slowly after a long while:
"So it seems that your husband wrote to the court to reduce the amount of tribute paid by the court's guest ministers. After the result was not approved, he was dismissed from his official position and imprisoned due to the counterattack of his political enemies."
"Yes, Mr. Qian! It is indeed the case." Mrs. Chen quickly replied.
"Hey, what can I say about Chen Yushi? He actually dared to write such a thing. I think what he offended was not any political opponents, but the court guests. With their power, it is not easy to win over a mere censor. Things." Liu Ming said with a hehe.
"However, I heard from my husband that he had sought the Emperor's consent before submitting the letter, and the Emperor also acquiesced to the reduction of the amount of tribute paid by the guests. But for some reason, in the end, it was my husband who was blamed by the court." Mrs. Chen sighed. Said in one breath.
"This is not simple. With the number of guests enshrined in the imperial court, I am afraid that the royal family is too afraid to really offend him. The result of the real petition is that Chen Yushi will naturally be unlucky." Liu Ming said with a sneer.
"I don't know much about court affairs, maybe that's the case. I wonder if Mr. Qian has any way to rescue my husband." Mrs. Chen gave a wry smile and asked hopefully.
"It depends on how Madam wants to solve it. If I only rescue Chen Yushi, it is just a piece of cake for me. But if I still want to maintain my official position and stay in Xuanjing, it will not be easy." Liu Ming He said with a faint smile.
"As long as we can rescue my husband, I don't care if I am a worried official. As for whether to keep Xuanjing, it is a secondary matter. As long as the family can be reunited, we can find a small place to live our lives." Mrs. Chen Hearing this, he said without hesitation.
"Okay, if Madam thinks so, it will be easy to handle. After you describe Chen Yushi's appearance and characteristics to me, pack your things as soon as possible and leave Xuanjing, waiting by the official road more than ten miles away from the East City Gate. That's it. I will bring your husband to meet you early the next morning. By the way, tell me the location of the prison where you will imprison Chen Yushi." Liu Ming heard this and said calmly.
For him, it was extremely simple to sneak into a secular prison and rescue a convicted official who was a mortal.
He had already understood before that although there were prisons in Xuanjing specifically for Qi Masters and even Spirit Disciples, they would never imprison ordinary mortals.
This level of prison may even have a lot of special prohibition circles. If you try to break into it, it will naturally be a different matter.
If it weren't for the fact that it was very dangerous to reveal the identity of the sect's supervisory envoy, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to just hand over the supervision token and bring Chen Yushi out of prison in a fair and just manner.
Mrs. Chen and Uncle Lin naturally understood the meaning of Liu Ming's words and were both surprised.
After Mrs. Chen's face changed, she gritted her teeth and agreed. After telling her the location of the prison, she described Chen Yushi's appearance and features.
After Liu Ming listened and felt that there was no problem, he moved his arm, grabbed a leather bag from his waist, and handed it over directly:
"Madam, please take this thing with you for the time being. If you encounter any trouble when leaving Xuanjing, just pat the bag three times and you will be safe.
What is contained in this leather bag is the Flying Skull Demon Head.
This Flying Skull's spiritual intelligence is far higher than that of the White Bone Scorpion, and he has already given some brief instructions.
Although Mrs. Chen didn't know what this leather bag was, she also knew that it was Liu Ming's kindness. She immediately took the leather bag with a grateful thanks and carefully put it into her sleeve.
In the following time, Liu Ming gave Mrs. Chen a few more instructions and then left quietly.
He had no intention of returning to Qian's Mansion, but went straight to the prison mentioned by Mrs. Chen.
After Mrs. Chen and her party packed up their things, they soon hired a carriage and asked Uncle Lin to drive directly out of the east gate of Xuanjing.
At midnight, in a seemingly heavily guarded tall building in Xuanjing, an almost invisible shadow silently passed through the sentries and headed straight towards the center of the building.
Suddenly, the figure paused and stopped in front of seven or eight sword-crossing guards standing side by side. Behind these people, there was a thick iron door. Except for a small window made of a fence, there was no place for ventilation. .
The figure's sleeves moved, and suddenly several rays of silver light shot out and disappeared into the bodies of these guards in a flash.
