Chapter one hundred and ninety-six road encounters injustice
Just when Pang Zhen wanted to say a few more words, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the prison.
"The prison is being robbed! Someone come quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, the gongs in the prison rang, and footsteps came from all directions. It was estimated that a hundred officials rushed into the prison, all of them holding lanterns in their hands and long knives on their waists.
They were coming to arrest someone. The scholar Zhang Jingsheng had seen such a scene, and he was immediately frightened and hid in a corner, trembling.
Although Zhang Jingsheng has a powerful mouth, he is still a scholar who can't even kill chickens. Facing the terrifying scene of hundreds of people coming to kill him with knives, it is normal for him to be frightened to the point where his legs are weak.
However, Pang Zhen was not afraid of this at all. They had already found the key from the jailer and opened the shackles for him. At this time, he threw the thirty kilograms of shackles to the ground and sneered.
"The thief officer came just in time. I haven't touched a knife for a long time. You guys have just enough heads for me to try out the knife!"
I saw him take the big sword from the hands of the third master, and then he slashed left and right. At first glance, Pang Zhen's moves were chaotic, but in fact, every move was in order.
After a few whirrings, several officers were immediately dead on the ground. It can be said that they were killed one by one. After seeing that Pang Zhen was so good at martial arts, the officers behind him just looked for shelters to hide, or retreated to the outside of the cell door in panic.
Helping hand.
Seeing Pang Zhen's martial arts skills, the third master immediately smiled.
"Brother, your sword skills are so amazing! We haven't seen you for more than half a year, but you are getting better and better!"
Pang Zhen said:
"Okay, I've been locked up here for more than half a year, and I can still make some progress. Stop talking nonsense. Let's talk outside if you have anything to say."
Pang Zhen took the third master and a dozen or so masters from Taihu Mountain to the door of the prison step by step. What he saw was that the second master and five or six other masters from Taihu Mountain were besieged by a group of officials. If it weren't for
The second master, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, was looking after the overall situation, and I was afraid that they would have already suffered casualties by this time.
Seeing that the brothers who came to save him were about to fall into danger, Pang Zhen immediately shouted.
"Brothers, don't worry, I'm coming too!"
After finishing speaking, Pang Zhen burst out laughing again, his gangster aura clearly revealed, and he was completely without the shrewdness he had when discussing business with the county magistrate.
"Your mother's grandmother's mother's head! I've had enough of your anger in the past six months, and let me kill a few more dogs!"
After the officers who originally besieged the second master and others heard the shouts from behind them, at least half of them turned their heads to attack Pang Zhen. In addition to those officers who had previously withdrawn from the prison, they were instantly overwhelmed.
Pang Zhen also brought a lot of pressure.
At this moment, another inappropriate sound suddenly occurred outside the prison door.
"You're a mountain tiger, how dare you not keep your word! Come here! Catch him and don't let him escape!"
This voice was not that of anyone else, but the voice of the Baoshan County Master. As for the newly appointed County Master, he no longer knew where he was hiding, but even if he had the courage, he would not dare to appear at this time.
If he showed up and was caught by Pang Zhen, he would be dead!
Ignoring the county magistrate at the moment, let's say that the master was followed by a group of people, and the open space in the prison, which was not spacious, was filled to the brim.
Seeing another batch of reinforcements coming, the officers became more courageous and surrounded everyone in Taihu Mountain. Seeing the officers approaching, Pang Zhen immediately rolled on the ground and chopped off the calves of the two officers.
, even if others don’t dare to act rashly!
"Don't be afraid of him, everyone. This man has been shackled for more than half a year and his strength has definitely not fully recovered. Go ahead! Whoever catches this mountain-suppressing tiger will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
Hearing Master's shout, Pang Zhen sneered.
"You're a dog that just hides aside and barks. You don't have the ability to come up on your own! Dog Officer, let's see if I don't kill all of you bandits today!"
Pang Zhen's words are naturally exaggerated. There are two things to say here.
There are hundreds of officers, and killing them all is beyond what Pang Zhen and the other dozen or twenty people can do.
Pang Zhen raised the extremely heavy sword and screamed, slashing at the crowd wildly. An official who was the first to bear the brunt was instantly cut into two pieces with the sword, and blood and liver and intestines flowed all over the floor.
Seeing how powerful Pang Zhen was, the other officials who saw this scene were all frightened. Although the hundred taels of silver mentioned by the master were good, they were also a hot potato for them!
However, this situation is only temporary. Pang Zhen clearly knows that although these brothers are not low in martial arts, they are far from being masters. They have already spent a lot of strength to save him from outside the prison. At this time,
If they continue to fight with those officials, people on their side will die!
"Brothers! Get out first!"
While the officials were still stunned, Pang Zhen shouted to the second master and others, and then killed two more people before the officials could react, opening a way for them.
Pang Zhen is a careless and careful man, which can be seen from the fact that he tricked the county magistrate into doing business with him and then sent a letter to Taihu Mountain.
So at this time, he knew that it was completely impossible to go to the gate, because he didn't know how many officials were waiting for them outside the prison door, but he never opened the gate from beginning to end.
Instead, he led his brothers to lean against a high wall.
For people like them, breaking out through the door may be a suicide, but if they get to the roof, they can escape. After all, not all officials have Qinggong and can keep up with them.
.
"Those thieves want to escape, don't let them get on the wall!"
Pang Zhen's every move was seen by the master, so his little thoughts were noticed by the master immediately, but some things were not what he wanted to do.
Under the cover of Pang Zhen and the other two masters, all those people landed safely on the courtyard wall next to the prison, and then the second and third masters also jumped on. At the last moment, Pang Zhen threw the long knife in his hand, and
The officers waved a circle in front of them to keep them from moving forward. When the sword fell to the ground, there was still Pang Zhen's figure in the prison yard.
Looking at the quiet and deserted night sky, the officers stood there looking at each other, and finally a loud voice sounded in the air.
"Master, please keep my sword for me. I will come back to get it in a few days. Also, you have to be careful when you sleep, lest you wake up that day and find that your head has moved away from your neck!
"
After confirming that there were no traces of the thieves, the master pushed aside the officials and came to the courtyard wall, looked in the direction where Pang Zhen and others disappeared and said.
"The whole city is under martial law. Guard the city gates to death, and then search every house! I don't believe they can still fly out!"
…
Just when the master ordered the whole city to be searched, he himself was hiding in the prison. No place was safe at this time, but the prison door would definitely prevent those thieves from coming back.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, the master also felt his hands and feet were cold. This was not because he felt sorry for the dead officials, but because he was worried that those thieves would really come into his house in the middle of the night and kill him!
At this moment, a jailer cautiously walked up to the master, and then saw the jailer's eyes rolling, and then said to the master.
"Master, not all of the gangsters who rescued Zhenshan Tiger have escaped. We were lucky enough to capture one suspect during the bloody battle. Master, please take action."
Upon hearing the news, the master said happily: "Where is that man now? Bring him up quickly?"
The jailer was not in a hurry to speak. He first pointed to the location inside the prison and then smiled.
"Master Qizhen, he is that boy Zhang Jingsheng."
Of course the master knew that this Zhang Jingsheng would not have any connection with those thieves. After all, he knew clearly that this Zhang Jingsheng was just because he scolded the county.
The master was imprisoned only after a few words.
But now that such a big thing has happened, if someone is not arrested to take the blame, let alone these jailers, even his master will not be able to please him.
Thinking of all the things that happened next, plus the original plan to slander Zhang Jingsheng as a bandit, the master no longer hesitated, looked at the jailer and nodded slowly.
"Not bad, not bad! As long as one suspect can be caught, I believe the others can't run far. Let's go! Let's interrogate Zhang Jingsheng first!"
Walking into the cell, the master immediately saw the scholar sitting in the back of the cell. He had hardly seen blood, and he had seen such a scene that was like a hell on earth. Zhang Jingsheng's eyes were very distracted at this time, as if he was lost.
Like a lost soul.
Seeing this scene, the master curled his lips in disdain, thinking that this guy could be an accomplice of those bandits?
But such thoughts can only exist in his heart, after all, they still have to rely on Zhang Jingsheng to take the blame. When they came to the cell, the master coughed a few times to moisten his throat, and then suddenly shouted towards Zhang Jingsheng.
"How brave Zhang Jingsheng! You actually dared to let the Jiangyang thief Zhen Shanhu and others go without permission. Do you know your guilt?"
Lu Yun first turned around and glanced at the master. After hearing his words clearly, Zhang Jingsheng was shocked at first and then waved his hands hurriedly and said.
"You made a mistake, you made a mistake! It's not me...it's really not me..."
Seeing the panicked Zhang Jingsheng, the jailer said to the master with a playful smile as if he hadn't seen him.
"I'm telling you, Master, Zhang Jingsheng has been eating and sleeping with that gangster and the tiger in the mountains for a long time. I'm afraid he has already colluded with each other. In my opinion, he must be dissatisfied with the county magistrate who just said a few words to him."
He was imprisoned, and then he discussed with Zhenshanhu and others in prison about letting them go. It's a pity that you worked so hard to rescue them, but they chose to leave you in the prison to wait for death!"
Hearing the jailer's excuse, even the master couldn't help but nodded quietly, and suddenly thought to himself: "If I hadn't known better, I would have thought that this kid was my accomplice of those bandits!"
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered.
"This boy seems to be an accomplice. Watch carefully and don't let him escape again. If he escapes, you will pay with your life!"
Zhang Jingsheng was shocked when he heard this, and for a moment he felt like he was out of his mind. He screamed.
"What an injustice!"
After hearing the cause and effect clearly, those officers who were still standing in the prison also understood what was going on, and they all shouted with joy.
"Yes! We spent a lot of effort to catch this kid, and he actually dared to say that he was not an accomplice of the bandits..."
The master knew that once the county magistrate knew about this, he would lose his temper for a while. In addition, he heard those jailers talking nonsense non-stop, which made him upset, so he yelled at the officials.
"You guys are still farting here! Why don't those thieves from Zhenshan Tiger just ignore them? Why don't you arrest them quickly!"
The master thought to himself that he would not worry about whether he could catch Zhenshanhu's gang of thieves for the time being, but no matter what, he still wanted to make some noise in the county. It would be better to conduct a citywide search to show his desperation.
He must explain to his boss, otherwise he, the master, will become a weakling.
The master was thinking about how he should get through with the county magistrate, and then slowly walked out of the cell door. As he watched everyone leave, Zhang Jingsheng looked miserable and sat blankly on the floor of the prison, mumbling.
"It's over. What are you talking about about getting fame? Everything in my life is over. I really didn't expect that the government has become so evil. In order to hide its own mistakes, it will just drag people to blame. I...I..."
Zhang Jingsheng's eyes were full of tears, and even his voice was trembling a little. In fear and anxiety, he just regretted why he didn't leave with Pang Zhen just now. If he had gone with him just now, he would never have ended up like this!
