Chapter 437: Smooth Escape
In order to avoid trouble, Wang Xiaoming did not stay in the cell for long, and left after figuring out the information he needed.
However, when Wang Xiaoming left, several cell bosses came in with things.
There are quilts and food, although Wang Xiaoming can't take them out now, but there is no problem in improving their lives.
In fact, Wang Xiaoming also proposed to take Ye Pingxuan out first, but Ye Pingxuan herself was unwilling, and Wang Xiaoming also understood her choice, after all, her family was still in the cell, but she went outside to enjoy it, she couldn't do this kind of thing.
After arranging the life of Ye Pingxuan's family, Wang Xiaoming went to another cell to inquire about Ye Pingxuan's father.
With Wang Xiaoming's means, it is easy to do these things, and he quickly found Ye Zhiyuan and communicated with Ye Zhiyuan.
Ye Zhiyuan also didn't expect that his daughter still had such a friend, and now that he wants to rescue them, he really can only rely on this friend.
Wang Xiaoming was thinking about whether he could overturn the case, but after communicating with Ye Zhiyuan, Wang Xiaoming also understood that the key to this case was not evidence, but the political struggle at the top.
If you want to overturn the case for him, you must be able to win the above struggle, but at this point, it is too late to say anything.
Relying on the strength of the official face cannot change the ending, Wang Xiaoming can only use the last plan he had thought of before to save people directly.
There are two key places to save people, one is to get people out of the prison cell, and the other is to get out of the city safely.
Wang Xiaoming could rescue them from the cell on his own, but he didn't have the ability to take so many of them out of the city safely.
The most important place now is how to escape from the city safely.
Wang Xiaoming doesn't have a clue yet, and he needs more information.
The next few days. Wang Xiaoming would go to the cell once a day to see Ye Pingxuan, and the rest of the time was to investigate the situation.
During this period, Wang Xiaoming also went to the palace and wanted to enter the palace to take a look at the situation, but in the process of visiting, Wang Xiaoming just went around the periphery and left.
The palace is heavily guarded, that's for sure, but to Wang Xiaoming's surprise, there are also masters in the palace. He didn't meet a decent master among the people, but in the palace, he felt a faint master's atmosphere.
Wang Xiaoming could feel that the other party was definitely not his opponent, but the other party had more people than him, and more importantly, with their existence, it was impossible for him to enter the palace silently.
Wang Xiaoming can be silent, and even discover the masters in the palace. But when he enters the palace, Wang Xiaoming will be discovered by the other party, and tens of thousands of guards in the palace will flock to the emperor who feels the danger. will also withdraw from the secret passage, and Wang Xiaoming's attempt to hold the emperor hostage will naturally not succeed.
In the end, Wang Xiaoming did not enter the palace.
At this time. In a large hall in the depths of the palace, a group of old men with pale beards let out a long breath.
"Finally left. I really didn't expect that there would be such a master in the world. The old man at the head exhaled and said with emotion.
"Yes, when that person approached the palace just now, I was terrified, I was really afraid that the other party would break into the palace, once the other party really broke into the palace, it would be really difficult to deal with. ”
"Who says it's not, I'm only waiting here with the help of the breath of the Son of Heaven in the Imperial City, and then putting down the Nine Dragons Flying Array, in order to confront it, if the other party kills in, the consequences are really unimaginable. ”
"At this point, what do you think should be done?"
"In my opinion, forget it, after all, people didn't come in, and I don't think he necessarily has malicious intentions, in case he sends someone to investigate and provokes the other party, it's not good. ”
"Yes, as it should be. ”
After a few people finished discussing, they didn't say anything more, and the hall fell silent again.
Wang Xiaoming didn't know about this matter at all, there were masters in the palace, but they were not as strong as he felt, and it was the other party who used special methods to improve and amplify his strength, so in Wang Xiaoming's feelings, the other party's strength was very strong and difficult to deal with, so Wang Xiaoming gave in.
If you don't go to the palace, you won't go, it's not a big deal, Wang Xiaoming has the rest of the way.
After another three days of preparation, Wang Xiaoming is ready, and now he is waiting for the opportunity to start acting.
Among these people who are preparing for Wang Xiaoming, Ye Zhiyuan's case has also come to an end, Ye Zhiyuan was sentenced to death because of the corruption case, and the family property was confiscated, as for the male members of the family, they were demoted to slaves, and the women were sent to the Teaching Division, which actually became officials and prostitutes.
When the Ye family heard the news, the whole family was desperate, and their last hope now was that Wang Xiaoming could rescue them.
In another three days, tomorrow will be the time for Ye Zhiyuan to open the knife and behead, and it will also be the time for Wang Xiaoming to save people in his plan.
Tonight is the time when the guards are the most heavily guarded, but at the same time, it is also the time when they are most psychologically relaxed and least vigilant.
Wang Xiaoming chose to do it tonight.
There is nothing thrilling in the process of saving people, although the cell is heavily guarded, it is too far worse than the palace, ordinary people naturally can't enter the cell, but Wang Xiaoming's ability to sneak into the cell is easy.
After sneaking into the cell, Wang Xiaoming knocked out the guards in the cell one by one, and then walked out of the back door of the cell with everyone in the Ye family calmly, and the process was so smooth that everyone in the Ye family was stunned. There are already five carriages parked at the back door of the cell, although the carriages are a little few, but as long as the Ye family is squeezed, they can sit down, and now is the time to flee, but there is not so much attention.
After all, the smaller the number of carriages, the more they can go unnoticed and the safer they are.
After everyone in the Ye family got into the carriage, the five carriages immediately took action, but Wang Xiaoming also changed into an official uniform and rode a tall horse to lead the way in front of the carriage.
The group headed towards the gates of the city. Patrols are often encountered on the streets, but after Wang Xiaoming had an accident with a warrant from the Prime Minister's Office, no one dared to embarrass him.
Ye Zhiyuan was pitted by the prime minister, and the prime minister's power was big enough, so Wang Xiaoming got a warrant from the prime minister's mansion, just to facilitate tonight's action.
The prime minister's warrant is really good, as long as the warrant is presented, no one dares to trouble Wang Xiaoming, and the journey is unimpeded.
After rounding half the city, the carriage reached the city gate, which was closed by this time. There is no special reason why it will not turn on again.
Wang Xiaoming showed the token of the Prime Minister's Mansion in his hand, and said that he had to go out of the city immediately if he had an urgent matter, and let the city gate open.
The city gate guard glanced at the warrant in Wang Xiaoming's hand, sneered, and said lightly: "Don't you understand the rules? The hour has passed, how can there be any reason to open the door, if you want us to open the city gate, it is easy, go to the eighth prince to get the warrant." ”
Wang Xiaoming was stunned, he really didn't know about it.
Wang Xiaoming inquired. Although the city gate will not be opened easily after it is closed, as long as the government has an emergency, it can still open a small door and let it go, with the warrant of the Prime Minister's Office. It should be fine, but now I don't know why it can't be done again.
Just when Wang Xiaoming was frowning and thinking about countermeasures, a voice came from the carriage: "Lord Wang, please come over and talk about it." ”
Wang Xiaoming frowned. I already heard that the person who spoke to him was Ye Pingxuan's father, Ye Zhiyuan.
Wang Xiaoming didn't know what the other party told him to do. But now call yourself the past, and you can't get through it.
When Wang Xiaoming approached the carriage, Ye Zhiyuan did not come out of the carriage, and said softly through the carriage: "Mr. Wang, the city defense belongs to the royal family, and the eighth prince who is in charge of the affairs is not very good with the prime minister, and the old man was negligent for a while and forgot to mention this matter to Mr. Wang." ”
According to Ye Zhiyuan, if you don't use the prime minister's hand, but use the warrant of the rest of the adults, maybe you have already gone out, but now, it will be difficult to get it.
Wang Xiaoming didn't expect such a problem, and now it's too late to change the warrant.
Wang Xiaoming didn't think about it anymore, let Ye Zhiyuan stay in the carriage, and continued to move forward on his horse.
Soon, Wang Xiaoming came to the front of the general guarding the city again, and said coldly: "Let me ask you again, the warrant of the Prime Minister, do you abide by it or not?
After finishing speaking, they looked at each other coldly.
When the general heard Wang Xiaoming's threatening words, he was not afraid at all, but also sneered and said: "You really think I'm afraid of you, and you don't inquire, who am I, just because you also want to ask someone to open the city gate, there is no gate." ”
Don't look at this person's official position, but his background is not small, and he is also from a noble family, so he is naturally not afraid of others looking for trouble with him.
What's more, he knew that the top boss Eighth Prince was at odds with the Prime Minister, and even if something happened, the Eighth Prince would take care of himself.
It's just a pity that he thought about tonight's things too simply.
Wang Xiaoming's gaze looked at the general again calmly, and said lightly: "Is there really no discussion? ”
The general immediately sneered and shouted: "Open the door for you once? What kind of thing are you, but a dog under the prime minister's door, and you dare to go crazy with me? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will take you down and accuse you of a great crime of rebellion." ”
"The great crime of treason? Okay, that's a good point. Wang Xiaoming smiled, but his smile was a little cold.
"What are you going to do? Are you really going to rebel?" The general's eyesight is not bad, looking at Wang Xiaoming's appearance and the momentum on his body, he suddenly understood what Wang Xiaoming wanted to do, and his originally leisurely expression suddenly became cautious, and his right hand was still on the handle of the knife on his waist, ready to do it at any time.
Wang Xiaoming did not answer the other party's question, nor did he look at the other party, but looked towards the city gate.
At this section of the city gate, there were not too many soldiers guarding it, and there were only about 50 people up and down.
The capital has been peaceful for a long time, and the vigilance is getting lower and lower, and there are not too many soldiers guarding the city at night.
Fifty people guarding a city gate is a very good situation.
Wang Xiaoming's eyes swept under the city gate mountain, silently calculating the strategy of attack.
On that side, the general pulled out the waist knife with a brush, brandished the waist knife, and shouted at Wang Xiaoming: "You ......"
As soon as the word "you" was spoken, he saw a steel ball shooting towards him, the speed of the steel ball was too fast, and he could only watch the steel ball hit his forehead, and his forehead was in sharp pain, and then he didn't know anything, and his eyes were already in darkness.
The general's body went limp, and he fell backwards.
At the same time as his body fell, a torrential rain of steel balls shot towards the city gate.
There was a brief scream at the gates, and then silence fell.
The one who sent these steel balls to kill people was naturally Wang Xiaoming.
Wang Xiaoming also sighed in his heart, killing people is really the sharpest long-range attack.
There are more than 50 people on the city gate, if Wang Xiaoming is allowed to kill them one by one, one person and one sword will also kill more than fifty swords, but using steel balls to kill people, only three waves of rapid attacks are enough, accurate enough, fast enough.
After solving the guards on the city gate, Wang Xiaoming did not dare to delay, and quickly advanced with the sword light in his hand for a while, and then split the bolt on the city gate, and pushed the city gate open with a push forward.
Wang Xiaoming turned his head and saw that the coachmen were still stupid, and immediately said in a cold voice: "Don't go out quickly." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, let's go, big guys. ”
Driven by the coachmen, the carriages drove quickly from the city gate to the outside.
When all the carriages went out, Wang Xiaoming closed the gate again, but he himself did not leave.
Originally, if he had successfully relied on the warrant of the Prime Minister's Mansion and left here, Wang Xiaoming would have left with him, but now, Wang Xiaoming has already made a move and killed someone, so this matter will not be good.
Wang Xiaoming must continue to stay here and buy time for the departure of the Ye family.
After closing the city gate, Wang Xiaoming jumped lightly to the city tower, waved his hand, took out the seat from the space, took out the wine and food, and on the gate tower of the capital, in the pile of many corpses, Wang Xiaoming drank wine and ate meat, and waited patiently.
It was half an hour before another group of soldiers approached the city gate.
Before the soldiers could notice the anomaly at the city gate, waves of steel balls attacked, and all fifty soldiers lay down before they could even raise the alarm.
After killing this group of soldiers, only a quarter of an hour later, a dense sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a group of horsemen hurried towards the city gates.
Obviously, because after the shift change, no soldiers returned, which had caused alarm in the barracks, so the cavalry was sent to check on it.
At this point, it was impossible to hide it if he wanted to, but fortunately, the delay was enough for everyone in the Ye family to escape. (To be continued......)
