Chapter 242

This is a prison room is built on the mountain, half of the wood and stone structure, initially come in is all the way down, not a few steps, is a relatively empty hall like place.

Not to mention the wide view, but also set up a few tables, put some of the appropriate use.

On one side of the wall, the keys to the various cells were hung in different categories.

On the other side, a few soldiers were drinking and gambling together.

Further inside was the inner structure of the mountain.

It should be an early vein of mines that had been excavated cleanly, leaving behind the alterations of the mines.

As soon as Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi came in, one of the few soldiers who were gambling looked up and greeted them:

“Wang An, come over here, I’m not coming, you come and gamble a few hands.”

A sentence asked, Tang Wuyi and Jiang Ran both muttered in their hearts, which one is Wang An?

Of course, this little matter couldn’t be difficult for the two of them.

Jiang Ran didn’t say anything, and directly took two steps forward, calling out to them that person to take a look:

“Zhou Cheng what are you doing? My name is Wang An it.”

“What? I can’t come and touch two?”

Jiang Ran slightly controlled his voice, making it less natural.

“Okay, okay, it’s okay if you come you come.”

The man stood up to give Jiang Ran a seat while wondering:

“What happened to your voice?”

“Just now went out as if I was winded, this damn weather ……”

“Isn’t it?”

Someone on one side interjected:

“The weather is getting colder and colder, the cold quilt has not seen a trace.

“I heard that the army pay that was brought to us for winter purchases, all went into Sun Magistrate’s money bag.”

“You can’t say this nonsense.”

Someone immediately reminded:

“If it gets out, it won’t benefit you. Moreover, this is also a matter of catching the wind, don’t spread it blindly ……”

A few people were holding a dice than the size, while casually chatting.

Talking and drinking, their mouths gradually did not have any gates.

Jiang Ran didn’t utilize his gambling skills either, so he just sat here and guided them in their talk without a beat to see if he could get some useful information.

Tang Yuyi, on the other hand, because the prisoners were yelling inside, just used it as an excuse to go in and investigate first.

Before and after only a few moments, Jiang Ran had already gotten quite a bit of information from the mouths of these soldiers.

Their army, in fact, originally not subject to the jurisdiction of Sun County magistrate.

This mine is not clear about the specifics, but this group of people is subordinate to the Tiger Wei Army, the general is the guardian of the Tiger Wei Pass Guan Changqing.

However, because of the Hu Wei Guan and Jin Yang Province, Gu Zhang County is subordinate to the Jin Yang Province, they will draw their people to come to the town.

At the beginning, it was agreed that they would be replaced once a season, and when the time came, they would be replaced by others.

As a result, I don’t know what’s going on up there, it’s as good as nothing, not to mention one season, now it’s one year at a time, and now it’s already the third year.

This group of people have always been on guard here.

The captain who guarded this place sent several letters requesting a change of duty at the beginning, but they all disappeared without a trace.

Afterwards, they also resigned themselves to their fate.

Soldiers, always have to obey orders as a vocation.

The next, execute, since the request is not answered, then continue to carry out the order.

But there is a section of …… them this group of people left the tiger army, came to this place to guard this iron ore field, according to reason, should be by the tiger army responsible for.

But I don’t know which twists and turns have occurred, and finally had to more than that Sun County magistrate together.

In this way, let Sun magistrate directly pinch their lifeblood.

Eat, take and ask, let people take what they want.

And these years, they have been suffocating.

The first year’s pay was fine, came on time.

The second year came a little late.

It is said that there are some reasons, the specific how, but do not know.

This year and somehow, so far have not been seen.

Speaking here, heard a soldier sneer:

“I did hear a news, this year escorting the army pay people, the road was killed.

“All the payrolls have disappeared.”

“What?”

The remaining few people all changed color when they heard this:

“How could this be? Daring to loot the army’s pay, this is a great offense that will bring down nine clans!”

However, the person who spoke did not dare to determine whether this news was true or false, so he skimmed his lips:

“Who knows it …… Anyway, it always feels as if everywhere is not right lately.

“In the past we have been busy day and night in this iron ore mine, but this recent period of time, it seems to be busy more and more powerful.

“The iron tools that are built, the weapons, and I don’t know where they are sent.

“Cart after cart is pulled …… out, and I haven’t heard where there is a war, and I need this many weapons.”

Another person was drunk and hazy, and after hearing this, he picked up and said:

“Today have wine today drunk, care so much do?”

“You’re being uninformed, there might be something really going on.

“I heard from Zhao Hai that Captain Chang’s temper has become more and more erratic over the past half a year,” he said.

“He gets angry at every turn and flips out when he says he will.

“He wasn’t like that in the past, his face was a bit colder, but his heart was hot.

“But now, I suspect he has no heart.”

He spoke and then whispered:

“And ah, lately those people who always run to our side, one by one, they are sneaky.

“Do you guys still remember the group of people who sneaked in last night?”

“Nonsense, how could we forget what happened last night?”

Jiang Ran said in passing.

He saw the man who opened his mouth nod:

“They didn’t come in under normal rules, Captain Chang led the way.

“Also specifically instructed not to let us approach ……

“And I don’t know what kind of people?”

“That’s right that’s right.”

At the mention of this, the person opposite Jiang Ran also nodded repeatedly:

“Not to mention the fact that this group of people’s origins are a mystery, they are also locked up in the lowest cell.

“The big iron door suppression, the key is not even in our hands, Chang Lieutenant personally give them food.

“This identity is only a big deal.”

“Alright, alright, stop talking.”

Another person opened his voice and said:

“Beware of trouble coming out of the mouth, soldier, just listen to the orders, don’t think nonsense.”

The crowd nodded their heads at these words.

This skipped this topic, continue to talk about the matter of military pay, said the military pay and said Sun magistrate, said often lieutenant.

After all was said and done, it was all the same content.

Footsteps came from inside the cell, and the one who came out was Tang Yuyi.

After locking eyes with Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran threw the silver won in his hand onto the table:

“Alright, which one of you will help me play for a while?”

“Hey? You want to leave after winning!”

Someone was not happy.

Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth:

“I’ll win the silver and throw it here, which one of you will take over for me, win counts as your own, lose counts as mine.”

“Zhou Cheng when did you kid become so atmospheric?”

“Can ah you, I come I come.”

Immediately, one of the soldiers, showing his arms and sleeves, took Jiang Ran’s place.

Jiang Ran smiled, stood up and walked to Tang Yingyi’s front.

Tang Painting Yi whispered to him:

“It’s quite twisted and not very easy to find, I was worried that delaying too much would cause suspicion and didn’t dare to continue on.

“Could we be looking for the wrong place?”

Jiang Ran glanced back at the group of soldiers and shouted:

“There’s something going on in the cell, I’ll follow.”

“Go go go.”

The crowd was gambling, and they were naturally happy to have someone willing to deal with the trouble.

Jiang Ran gave Tang Yuyi a wink, and the two of them walked inside along the mine cave.

While walking, Jiang Ran also told Tang Yuyi about the news he had just heard from the soldiers.

“The person who was transporting the military payroll was killed?

“This iron mine has been building weapons to ship out?

“The lieutenant guarding this place escorted a group of people to be locked up in the lowest level?”

Tang Yuyi froze as she listened, “How did you find out so much?”

“Words rushed in, and they said it all themselves.”

Jiang Ran said softly:

“There’s something wrong here, I suspect it’s related to the Heavenly Que.”

This was not without reason.

The Heavenly Que had always been plotting against the various prefectures, with the Jin Yang Prefecture being the biggest thing among them.

Now that chaos was frequent, it was hard to say that they weren’t the ones messing around in the middle of it.

Tang Yuyi nodded:

“But there’s no need to jump to conclusions so early.

“What if that news is false?”

“It’s true that the news from the military pay side can’t be kept true.”

Jiang Ran said:

“But this Guzhang County itself is not a small problem …… But now is not the time to talk about this, let’s go down and look at that iron door first.”

“Good.”

The two people immediately stopped discussing.

Wearing the appropriate attire, they strutted around within this jailhouse in search of it.

It was just that the mines were rugged and the paths turned in a hundred directions, so it wasn’t that easy to find their way down.

No wonder Tang Yuyi returned so quickly knowing the difficulties.

If you weren’t familiar with the path, you wouldn’t just be unable to find the underground, you’d also get lost in the complex paths of the mine.

The two of them circled around for a while before finding their way down.

But until half an hour later, this is to see the previous that soldier said the bottom of the prison room.

It was indeed separated by a large iron door, which was thick and heavy, and did not look simple.

Jiang Ran reached out and touched the lock hole, and under the Seven Dexterous Heavenly Worker’s Hand, the complex mechanism within the door suddenly passed through his mind.

He frowned lightly:

“Either we’ll have to use our profound power to shock it open. Either you have to get the key …… How do you think it’s better to do?”

“Me?”

Tang Yuyi grinned:

“If I have enough internal power, I’ll just shock the door open and take them with me.

“I’ll kill whoever dares to stop me.”

“And then become a wanted man?”

“No, because everyone who sees me will die, and no one will know that I did this.”

Tang Yuyi said to Jiang Ran:

“However, I know you definitely won’t do that.”

“In the end, you still have to eat.”

Jiang Ran smiled gently:

“Let’s go, let’s go look for the key, and we’ll just ask School Captain Chang to bring them out with us to save more conflicts.

“It’s all about following orders ……”

“En.”

Tang Yuyi nodded, recognizing this.

The two of them then went through another path of twists and turns back to the entrance of the prison cell.

The two of them had disappeared for such a long time, and the gang was still gambling and drinking, completely unconcerned about the two of them.

Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi glanced at each other, then walked directly towards the outside of the prison cell.

“Hey? What are you guys doing again?”

The one who shouted at Wang An to gamble earlier, seeing that they were leaving, finally opened his honorable mouth.

“Going to pee.”

Jiang Ran casually coped.

“Ah? So much pee? That’s not right, you didn’t hurt your kidney chakra, did you? Turn back and let the army doctor take a look …… lest you can’t give birth to a son in the future.”

“Scram!”

“Hahahahaha!!!”

Between jokes, Jiang Ran had already led Tang Yuyi out of the prison cell.

The two guards in front of the door greeted them again and didn’t take it seriously, after all, the face was the same, the clothes were the same, how could a normal person have so much suspicion?

Even if the voice is not right, it is mostly guessing whether it is suffering from wind and cold or something like that.

And will not think, suddenly give you a set of big change.

Then Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi distinguished the direction and walked towards another building.

It wasn’t really difficult to find this Captain Chang, after all, as the biggest leader of this mine, his residence might not be the best, but it must be the most conspicuous.

Finding this person proved to be much easier than expected.

Before a small two-story building, a few horse-drawn carriages were already parked there.

The ruts of the carriages were not shallow, so it could be seen that the contents of the carriages were quite heavy.

A group of soldiers were already fully loaded and ready to go, and one person came to a man in his thirties, dressed in civilian clothes:

“Captain, everything is ready.”

The man was in a state of disorientation, not knowing what he was thinking about, at this time, he heard the words as if he had awakened, looked up at the crowd, and spoke softly:

“After sending the things to the place, there will be someone to hand over with you, no need to ask much, just come back directly after the handover.”

“Yes.”

A group of soldiers clasped their fists and arched their hands, then got on the carriage, and with a soft cry, the carriage slowly pulled, only the carriage traveled extremely slowly.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, suddenly reached into his pocket, took out a small bottle, poured out a little powder in it.

The internal force was slightly condensed, followed by a finger flick.

The powder should have scattered, but was stuck by Jiang Ran’s internal force, and eventually hit a box on the carriage.

“Wind Honey?”

Tang Yuyi glanced at Jiang Ran.

“I’m a little curious as to where this batch is going.”

Jiang Ran nodded:

“After the Chongshan Sect’s business is over, we’ll go take a look.”

“I’ll listen to you.”

Tang Yuyi naturally listened to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran smiled faintly and took this Wind Honey back into his arms.

This thing was actually something he had made himself according to the records above the Hundred Poisons True Scripture, although the Thousand Mile Wind was treasured, this thing relied on the Wind Nectar, so it wasn’t difficult to cultivate.

Just need to find a robust bee, feeding ten days.

Ten days do not die, will become a thousand miles of wind.

If it dies …… just find another one.

But this thing is not expected to be used for a long time, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is okay to put it in the box for the time being.

After putting out, it is easy to freeze to death in the winter.

At that time, we can only wait for the spring flowers to bloom, and then cultivate another one.

At this time, that Captain Chang retracted his gaze, his complexion getting colder and colder.

Turning around, he walked towards that small second floor.

There was a guard in front of the building, so Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi bypassed the guards and climbed in directly from the second floor.

Just as they entered, they heard the sound of footsteps.

Looking up, he saw that Captain Chang went up the stairs with a frown on his face, opened a room door, and a moment later, a fire was lit.

Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi both came to the door and carefully poked a hole in the window.

Looking inside, they saw that Captain Chang was sitting in front of a desk, writing with a pen, frowning as he did so, and when he reached the halfway point, he couldn’t write any more somehow.

He suddenly put down the brush in his hand fiercely, and his palm landed heavily on the table.

The entire person leaned against the back of the chair, tilting his head back to look at the roof.

Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi exchanged glances, seeing that there was no one else within the room, they directly pushed the door open.

Captain Chang was lost in thought, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he didn’t look squarely at the visitor, but just said with some impatience:

“Zhao Hai, didn’t I tell you to go rest? Don’t disturb me.”

“School Captain Chang has a lot of work to do day in and day out, so indeed you shouldn’t be disturbed.”

Jiang Ran stepped forward:

“It’s just that I seem to have a few friends who are locked up in this mine by School Captain Chang, so I’ve come to borrow a key from the school captain.”

When he heard Jiang Ran’s first words, Captain Chang had already looked up brightly.

When he saw Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi, he was stunned:

“It’s you guys?”

They were wearing the clothes of soldiers, and still had the faces of soldiers.

Although he couldn’t name them, he knew that they were his own soldiers.

He was about to be furious, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The soldiers under their own hands, three years have not left this mine, where to friends?

At that moment, his face slightly changed, a hand, will be aside a silver gun copied in the hands, body shape will be a swing from the seat leapt up:

“Want to save someone? Let me see what you guys are capable of!!!”

His voice was not loud, as if he was watching out for someone.

As the words fell, the silver spear in his hand was picked, and the spear came out like a dragon.

Only in the next moment, this silver dragon that flew across the board and flared its teeth and claws was like a small white snake being held by seven inches, landing in Jiang Ran’s hands.

Captain Chang was stunned, and with the force of a pick, the lance bent, but could not shake Jiang Ran in the slightest.

Then he saw Jiang Ran smile:

“Spread your hands.”

Captain Chang was also obedient, letting him spread his hands, so he spread his hands.

The spear changed hands and fell into Jiang Ran’s hands, followed by Jiang Ran’s progress forward, and a hand had already grabbed the Chang Lieutenant’s choking throat.

Captain Chang’s arm naturally hung down, and blood dripped along his fingertips and fell to the ground.

The tiger’s mouth had cracked at some point.

Just that he didn’t care about the injury on his hand or his own safety, he just looked at Jiang Ran in surprise:

“Really good martial arts!

“I said that that thief guy came back today, seems to be quite lousy …… originally there is an expert arrived!”

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows and glanced at this Chang Lieutenant, then looked at Tang Wuyi at his side.

Tang Painting Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly:

“Is this the Chang Lieutenant’s intention to skim himself clean?”

“Skim?”

School Captain Chang glanced at her and Jiang Ran and sighed:

“I don’t know what you’ve found out so far, but it’s good that you’re here.

“Just in time to take me down, go forward to open the door, and rescue my friends from the Chongshan Sect.

“Hey, this matter, is I can not apologize to them …… a move of difference, but even tired of the full plate of loss!”

Jiang Ran took his neck in one hand, his eyes swept down to the table, and was seeing the letter that he had written to the halfway point.

Reaching out to read it, he glanced at this standing lieutenant again, before handing the letter over to Tang Wuyi.

Tang Wuyi glanced at it and was stunned:

“You’re asking for help?”
