Chapter 136 The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind
"What are you doing with the ink? Get out of here quickly!"
Seeing that these two guys still had time to chat, Lei Hu reminded them angrily.
"Brother Lei, Brother Tan doesn't want to leave, he wants to wake up the Chinese people with his death!"
Wang Wu had a look of embarrassment on his face, and there were even tears in his eyes, he was so moved.
"What nonsense. Who knows what will happen next after someone dies?"
Lei Hu rushed over with a single arrow, and with a few bangs, he blasted away all the shackles on the backbone of the reformers. Seeing that Tan Siqi's face remained determined and unmoved, he greeted him with a palm, knocked him unconscious, and carried him on his shoulders, turning around. Just leave.
Bang bang bang...
Along the way, the big locks on the door of each cell in the Criminal Department were smashed, and they kept shouting: "Run, run, run, run, if we wait for the officers and soldiers to react, we will have no chance!"
Suddenly, the prison of the Criminal Department was in chaos. The prisoners who were suddenly freed were like crazy. They rushed towards the door of the prison regardless of howling and howling. When they came out of the Prison of the Criminal Department, they were scattered and fled in all directions.
Lei Hu carried Tan Sitong on his shoulders, followed by Wang Wu and a group of reformist backbones. They were all shocked and walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. They all had very complicated moods, and the eyes they looked at Lei Hu were even more unpredictable.
"Everyone, you can run away on your own. There is only so much we brothers can do. Farewell!"
Lei Hu, whose face was covered with a scarf, turned back and said to the rescued backbone of the reformers. Then he winked at Wang Wu. The two of them turned around and left without even making a sound, disappearing into the misty night in the blink of an eye.
The prison of the Ministry of Punishment was robbed, many key members of the reformers escaped, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was furious!
…
When Tan Sitong woke up, he found himself lying in a strange place. It was already bright outside, and the surroundings were quite quiet. He could even clearly hear the chirping of birds on the trees. A faint smell of food wafted over, and his stomach began to growl. .
"Are you hungry?"
Wang Wu came in carrying a big bowl and saw Tan Sitong had woken up and smiled.
"Brother Wang, it was you and Brother Lei who saved me last night?"
He reached out to take the warm bowl, picked up his chopsticks and wolfed it down for a while. After finishing the large bowl of food, he sighed with comfort and suddenly asked.
"really!"
Wang Wu laughed, nodded and admitted directly.
"Hey, Brother Lei made a mistake for me!"
Tan Sitong looked depressed, sighed and said depressedly: "I originally planned to die to clarify my ambition, hoping to awaken more people with lofty ideals, but Brother Lei just knocked me out and sent me here!"
Wang Wu looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
According to his thoughts and thinking, he believed that Tan Sitong's behavior was not wrong, it was an out-and-out manly behavior, and should be encouraged and supported.
only……
"Bullshit, people have hope only when they are alive. If you die, who knows how you died?"
A cold snort suddenly sounded, and Lei Hu strode in. He glanced at Tan Sitong and said angrily: "Death is a good way to express one's ambition. Who knows how you died or what you committed? It's not up to the court to say so." How is it?"
“Brother Lei’s remarks are ridiculous!”
Tan Sitong said excitedly: "We, the scholars, have our own moral principles in our hearts..."
"Don't talk about scholars with me, haven't you heard that ruthless people are the best scholars?"
Lei Hu sneered and said: "Save it, save some energy and wait until it is safe outside the city before you argue with me. Now you have a good rest, we are not safe yet!"
Tan Sitong was immediately speechless. When he was rescued, he was full of grief, anger and will to die. However, after he was rescued, he no longer had the urge to commit suicide. He asked himself that he had died once and did not want to die a second time.
"Where is this?"
He naturally didn't have any resentment towards Lei Hu, and was very grateful to him for taking the risk to save him.
"A residential house not far from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"
Wang Wu smiled and said: "Brother Lei told me that the most dangerous place is actually the safest place. The officers and soldiers would never think that we would hide here!"
Tan Sitong's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face, and he couldn't help but admire Lei Hu's boldness and carefulness.
He really didn't expect that he was right next to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. I'm afraid the officers and soldiers would never have thought of this, and he didn't know how Lei Hu came up with it.
How did you come up with it?
The reason is very simple, but it is just taking advantage of the blind spot of "darkness under the light". There are still smart people in the yamen. When they react, they will naturally not miss the houses in the area near the prison of the Criminal Department.
But at that time, it was estimated that Lei Hu and others had already gone out of the city without knowing where they were.
…
The capital was under martial law for three days, and prisoners who escaped from the Penal Department's jail were hunted down vigorously, especially key members of the reformists.
It's just a pity that at this time, the Qing Dynasty has greatly lost its control over the grassroots. The key members of the reformists are basically scholars whose families have a lot of land and money. They were caught off guard by the Queen Mother's Party who suddenly arrested them. Now,
The situation will naturally be different when you have time to escape.
There are also the gangsters who have committed serious crimes and are imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. They are not easy to mess with. They use all means to get out of the city safely, just like the "Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers".
The officers and soldiers of Shuntian Prefecture and the nine-men admirals were tortured a lot. They tried their best and finally captured half of the prisoners who were leaving the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. In addition, a small number of prisoners were indeed very powerful and escaped smoothly.
Not only did he leave the capital, he also swaggered outside and mocked the court.
After three days, the imperial court had to stop the martial law operation. At the same time, their attention was attracted by the prisoners who escaped from the city during the martial law period, and they sent a large number of people out of the city to hunt them down.
On this day, a large caravan successfully left the capital after paying a lot of filial piety.
After they were five miles away from the capital, a carriage quietly left the caravan and headed straight for Jinmen along an inconspicuous path.
"Haha, Brother Wang really has a wide range of friends, and he can easily get in touch with such a large caravan!"
Lei Hu got out of the carriage, looked back at the increasingly smaller capital in his sight, and praised with a smile.
"You're welcome, but it's just that I've been around a little longer and know more people!"
Wang Wu also got out of the carriage. He shook his head and looked calm. He glanced at the carriage and said proudly: "Brother Lei is the one who has such unparalleled calculations that we can get out of the city so easily!"
Talking and laughing, the carriage stopped at a tavern in a small town ten miles away from the capital, waiting for the elite members of the No. 20 militia to come out of the city to meet up, and then continue to Jinmen.
However, when they followed the elite militiamen who came after them, their expressions all changed after they came out of the town. Yuan Shikai led a group of hundreds of officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.
He truly deserves to be the number one person in China later, and he actually played the trick of ‘the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows’ with them...
