Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 256 Rescue
"We are not bad people, we are really here to save you, hurry up, it will be too late!" Seeing that they did not respond, Kang Xu couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"My lord, what should I do, they don't believe us!" Kang Xu looked back to the corridor from time to time, worried that someone would come.

Cui Huan walked to an iron cage, and said gently to the woman in the iron cage: "This old man also has a daughter, if she hadn't died, she would be about the same age as you."

The woman's eyes moved slightly, and Cui Huan sighed and said, "In my impression, she is very obedient, obedient, and filial. I sat there for several hours, just to wait for the old man to come home."

The woman seemed to think of something, and tears suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Cui Huan stretched out his arms and said gently, "I think you miss your parents too, don't you?"

The woman suddenly burst into tears, her sluggish eyes finally regained some spirit, and she muttered to herself: "Father...mother...."

"Come out, kids, I'll take you home."

Seeing Cui Huan's kind face, the woman stretched out her hand tremblingly.

"You...you, are you really here...to save us?" the woman asked stammeringly.

Cui Huan nodded heavily, and said, "Even if this old man risked his life, he will save you!"

Soon, those women no longer doubted them, they crawled out of the iron cage one after another, and gathered around the two of them.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. I'll explore the way ahead. You should follow closely. Be careful and don't make too much noise."

After saying this, Kang Xu led the crowd towards the exit.

Kang Xu walked ahead, and some doubts arose in his heart.

This place seems to be a dungeon, no matter in terms of scale or the furnishings inside, it is very similar to the county government prison.

There are four facing ordinary cells on both sides, and the one at the end of the corridor is located in the deepest part, obviously used to detain repeat offenders.

"I heard from Chang Feng that there was a big fire in the Zhengyang county government, and even several nearby streets were affected. The county magistrate at that time felt that the old site was not good in geomantic omen, so he found another place and built a new one today. The county government. Could it be that this dungeon is the dungeon that was burned by fire?"

Kang Xu's eyes shifted, and he couldn't help looking at the walls around the dungeon. Strangely, there was no sign of the surrounding walls being burned.

There was only one entrance to the dungeon, and everyone followed Kang Xu carefully through the corridor, turned two turns upwards, and immediately saw a half-covered door.

Kang Xu asked everyone to stay where they were and waited. He tiptoed to the gate and carefully watched the outside through the crack of the door. He didn't say hello to everyone until he was sure that there was no one guarding the gate.

A group of people followed Kang Xu closely, those women held hands, their bodies trembling non-stop, as if they hadn't recovered from the nightmare, until Kang Xu pushed open the door, a gust of cool wind blew in, and those women Suddenly wept.

Kang Xu's scalp went numb for a while, and he hurriedly made a silent gesture to those women. It's the night, and everything is silent. Even a slight weeping is very obvious in this dark night. If someone finds out, Wouldn't that be a failure?
Although those women hadn't fully awakened from the nightmare, after breathing the free air, they had somewhat regained some hope of life, and they all covered their mouths, letting tears fall from the corners of their eyes.

Kang Xu exhaled slowly, he looked up at the night, there was still a new moon hanging in the night sky, emitting faint moonlight.

With the faint moonlight, Kang Xu found that everyone was in a rockery.

Kang Xu led everyone to walk in the rockery step by step, and at the same time, he listened carefully to the movement around him with his ears sideways.

Just when everyone was about to walk out of the rockery, a voice suddenly came from the front.

"Strange, why hasn't the guy who delivered the food come out yet? Did he fall asleep in there or was he playing with those chicks again?"

"Well, who cares! We only need to drink, drink, drink."

"Little brother, why don't you go down and take a look? The young master has told me that these women are going to be sent away, so you can't let him play with them casually."

"I'm the elder brother, and you are the younger brother. I want to go with you, but I won't. These women have been locked up for several days, and I haven't seen the young master come. I guess the young master has long forgotten."

"Oh, you were born a stick of incense later than me, you are not the younger brother, who is the younger brother?"

"Who said you were born earlier than me? Parents have been dead for many years, who can prove it?"

"Wow, I'm so pissed off, are you going? Overwhelming!"

"I won't go! Dump Haishan Pai!"

……

What followed was the sound of punches to the flesh, and the sound of crackling and cracking.

Everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to speak out, and those women were even more numb. In order not to let themselves cry out of fear, they tightly bit their arms.

The highly tense nerves have already made them forget what pain is, and only fear hangs over their hearts.

After a while, the voice came again.

"You hit me one hundred and six times, I hit you one hundred and seven times, I won, so I am the boss!"

"Fart, you didn't count the number of times I hit you with two wine jars, plus I actually hit you a hundred and eight times, I'm the boss!"

"Wow, that's unreasonable, you wait for me, I'll get the wine jar, I'm sure I've smashed more than you!"

"Do you think you are the only one who can find wine jars? I will too!"

……

The voices of the two became farther and farther away, as if they had already left the range of the rockery.

Kang Xu knew that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly led the crowd out of the rockery as quickly as possible.

The origin of the rockery is in a mess, broken wine jars, collapsed stone benches and tables, it seems that the two people did have a fierce conflict.

Kang Xu looked around briefly, and found that this was a backyard, and the front yard was brightly lit, and it seemed lively with people coming and going.

"My lord, let's leave from the front yard." Kang Xu pointed to the attic with lanterns hanging in the front yard, and said in a low voice.

"No, it's safer to go through the back door." Cui Huan looked at the attic and shook his head.

Kang Xu knew that he was worried. Since this dungeon is located in Lichunfang, Lichunfang must have something to do with this matter.

Lichunfang is the largest brothel in Zhengyang City, in order to prevent anyone from breaking into the backyard, there must be thugs guarding each entrance.

However, what Kang Xu thought was the opposite.

From the fact that there are only two guards at the entrance of the dungeon, it can be seen that Li Chunfang is not worried that those women can escape from here. Apart from the two guards, there must be more people guarding secretly in the backyard.

It might not be easy for the two of them to escape through the back door, let alone with several women.
