Knowing that the religious bandits were going to rob the prison, Chen Guanlou ordered Zhang Dao to be chained. The jailers couldn't understand and had different opinions. Prisoners in A-shaped prisons rarely put chains on them. First, it is unnecessary and the prisoners will not run away without thinking. Generally speaking, prisoners held in Tianlao have a much better chance of recuperating than in the imperial prison next door. Jailbreaking is equivalent to ruining one's personal future and the lives of nine tribes. It is not cost-effective, and the price-performance ratio is outrageously low. Secondly, the A-shaped size is not as traditional. Even death row prisoners don't need to be in chains. How could a mere religious bandit do this? Chen Guanlou's order surprised the jailers. Chen Guanlou explained: "The gang of religious bandits are crazy and insane, so we must be on precaution." "Chen Tou means that the gangsters will rob the prison?" "We have to do it. Have you heard about the case at Yaowang Temple? It is said that it was done by bandits." The jailers were surprised. This was the first time they heard this statement. Chen Guanlou continued: "It is rumored that the religious bandits gather in the capital just to rob the prison. Whether they are robbing the imperial prison next door or our heavenly prison, we have to take precautions and take one more measure to add a layer of insurance. You don't want it either. The prisoner Zhang Daohe must have been kidnapped." "Those religious bandits are really so crazy!"
"It's even crazier than this! I have relatives in Dongzhou, and the banditry there is the most violent. No one is afraid of death. They give up their family and business and donate all their property. If anyone in the family disobeys, they will be killed directly. Something. Some people have gone completely crazy by killing their children, their daughters, and their wives.” The guards screamed one after another, which was really eye-opening. There will always be a riot every ten years or so. But this is the capital city after all, and bandits are rare and rarely seen on weekdays. The rumors about religious bandits are mostly hearsay and are so far away from everyone's daily life that it is no wonder that there are bursts of screams and screams. As the saying goes, good things don't work but bad things work. In the middle of the night, Chen Guanlao was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by someone. The courtyard door was slapped loudly. "Come on, come on, stop knocking." The courtyard door opened, and Liu She was so anxious that he could not speak. Chen Guanlou comforted him and gave him a glass of water. Liu She drank some water before he could straighten out his thoughts, "Tou Chen, it's not good, someone has robbed the prison." Chen Guanlou was stunned at first, so fast. Then he sighed, this had been expected for a long time, and it happened after all. "What's going on now? Did the gangsters rob the prison? Has Zhang Daohe been kidnapped?" He asked as he put on his coat, locked the door, and rushed back to the prison with Liu She. "Zhang Daohe was kidnapped." After Liu She finished speaking, he lowered his head for fear of being punished. Chen Guanlou glanced at him, "How are the brothers? Are there any casualties?" Seeing that Chen Tou did not hold him accountable, Liu She suddenly became bolder and said loudly: "Reporting to Chen Tou, a few were injured, all of them minor injuries." "As long as no one dies." Chen Guanlou felt relieved after hearing this. The jailers in the Tianlao all have the heart to seek good luck and avoid evil. When encountering a prison robbery, no jailor will really rush to fight the culprits. At most, they will just show off. The jailers in the A-shaped prison are more alert than the guards in the B-shaped and C-shaped prisons. As long as they hide quickly, the thieves cannot kill them. The thieves were busy robbing the prison and escaping, but the guards didn't come out to stop them. They didn't bother to kill people to vent their anger. Not to mention wasting time, it would be troublesome if officers and soldiers were attracted. Escape is the first priority. Chen Guanlou asked Liu She, "Zhang Daohe was chained. Did those thieves do it?" "Reporting to Chen Tou, some of the thieves are good at picking locks, and the iron chain can't stop them at all."
Yes, wasted effort. Chen Guanlou hurried to Tianlao, and then he learned that there was a small fuss here in Tianlao, but the big noise was in Jinyiwei's side, and even the palm thunder appeared. Chen Guanlou stood at the entrance of the yamen, watching the imperial guards coming in and out next door, and the cavalry flying in all directions. The whole capital was shaken in the middle of the night, and the situation was very serious. It is estimated that no one would have thought that the religious bandits would have the courage to go to the imperial prison and rob the prison. "The last time a prison robbery occurred was fifty years ago." Niu Jiucheng suddenly appeared. Chen Guanlou immediately bowed and saluted, "I have met your lord. A prisoner escaped from the A-shaped prison, please punish me." "I don't blame you. Even the gangsters in the prison couldn't stop the bandits. It's true that we in the prison can't stop them. The higher ups won't blame you. I just didn't expect that these bandits would cause such a big mess. Dare to rob the imperial prison." "Does this stoke a hornet's nest?" Chen Guanlou said softly. Niu Yucheng chuckled and said, "It's more than just a hornet's nest. The Jinyi Guards are very busy. You can find two smarter people to go to the next door to care about them. By the way, find out how many cult bandits have escaped from the imperial prison." Chen Guanlou understood. Niu Jiucheng was busy watching Jin Yiwei's joke. As long as the number of escaped prisoners from Jinyiwei is greater than that from Tianlao, Tianlao will be safe and sound, and maybe they can get a reward. Chen Guanlou followed and said, "Don't worry, sir, only one person escaped from the Tianlao. No matter what, there will be no less people in the Imperial Prison than in the Tianlao." "Hahaha..." Niu Jiucheng was very happy. The government office next door was unlucky, and Tianlao was happy to watch the joke from top to bottom. Chen Guanlou learned that Lu Datou was on duty tonight and sent someone to call Lu Datou. Lu Datou has friends from all walks of life, so it would be most appropriate for him to go next door to express condolences and inquire about news. Lu Datou patted his chest, "Don't worry, Chen Chen, this matter is taken care of by me. I also know several people at Jinyiwei, and they are all poker buddies at the gambling table. I guarantee to bring you accurate numbers before dawn." " Chen Guanlou gave him twenty taels of silver directly, "Don't be afraid of spending money. Go boldly." "promise!" With the money, Lu Datou was even more confident and ran towards Jin Yiwei with his two younger brothers. Wearing a jailer's uniform and having a familiar face, he was not blocked at all and entered the prison smoothly. Chen Guan went downstairs to the sky jail. The A-shaped prison was in a mess after a prison robbery. The prisoners were not in the mood to sleep and were all inquiring about the situation. When he came to Zhang Daohe's cell, he was indeed a master of unlocking. He easily took Zhang Daohe away without any effort or damage to the cell. He asked Xiao Jin, "Do you know how the thief got in?" He observed it when he came in. Both gates were in good condition, and there were no signs of being hacked by a knife or axe. Xiao Jin pointed to a window in the distance, "The thief came in through the window." Chen Guanlou looked along his hand and immediately frowned, "How did the thief know that the window was closest to Zhang Daohe's cell?" When Xiao Jin heard this, his expression suddenly changed, "Chen Tou means that there is a traitor among us?" "Definitely." Chen Guanlou still had a question. There was so much noise in the imperial prison, but it was quiet in the Tianlao. Many jailers said that they did not notice the thief coming in. By the time he was discovered, Zhang Daohe had already walked out of the prison door.
He suspected that the thieves were attacking in the east and in the west. The prison robbery is true, but the real target is not the Jin Yiwei next door, but the Tianlao. In order to conceal Zhang Daohe's true identity, he went to jail.
