Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.
Chapter 269 Breaking Out of the Prison
The Hundred Flowers Pavilion was brightly lit at this time, and the three-story pavilion was illuminated by hundreds of lanterns as if it were daytime.
The main hall was packed, and the private rooms on the second floor were also full, with elegantly dressed guests sitting behind every window.
The courtesan had just finished playing a pipa piece when she gracefully stepped off the stage, her face veiled, and the applause and cheers behind her almost lifted the roof off.
As she walked backstage, she was unaware that two men, dressed as pimps, were already waiting in the shadows of the embroidered tower.
Yun Qiaoqiao, dressed in a drab gray turtle slave outfit, walked quickly down the corridor with her head down.
She walked to the door of a private room, knocked gently, and said in the most respectful tone, "Young master, the courtesan invites you to the embroidered pavilion in the back for a chat."
"She said she saw you on stage just now and only wishes to speak a few words with you alone tonight."
A surprised commotion came from inside the room, and a slick-haired young man stumbled out of the private room, his servants unable to stop him.
"That's really what the girl said!"
Yun Qiaoqiao replied even more respectfully, "Yes, young master!"
At the same time, Zhen Linqing, also disguised as a pimp, said the exact same thing to a fat man with big ears in another private room in another corridor.
The man became even more impatient, pushed aside the servant and ran towards the embroidered tower, his hairband bending as he ran.
These two were specially chosen by Zhen Linqing and Yun Qiaoqiao. One was the eldest prince's cousin from his maternal family, and the other was the youngest brother of the old emperor's most beloved concubine. Both of them were playboys who couldn't stand each other and weren't afraid of each other.
Finally, the two playboys bumped into each other in the corridor of the boudoir.
The two had always disliked each other, and today, after drinking, they were further aroused by the line "The courtesan only wishes to speak with you alone." When they saw each other in the boudoir, their first reaction was not to find it strange, but to feel that they had been outmaneuvered.
Yun Qiaoqiao and Zhen Linqing stood in the shadows of the corridor, one behind the eldest prince's cousin from his maternal family, and the other behind the concubine's younger brother.
Yun Qiaoqiao shouted in a shrill voice, "Why did you push my young master?" and then pushed the eldest prince's cousin from his maternal family first.
Zhen Linqing immediately cooperated, shouting in the same shrill voice, "You guys were the ones who started it," and then pretended to be pushed and stumbled, her elbow "accidentally" bumping into her own playboy's back.
The two spoiled brats were knocked forward and stumbled forward, colliding face to face.
The eldest prince's cousin, thinking that the other party had struck first, slapped the concubine's younger brother across the face.
The concubine's younger brother was beaten until he saw stars. He had never been treated like this before, so he immediately swung his fist back.
Soon, the two pampered young noblemen were wrestling on the ground, pulling each other's hair and biting each other's arms, their noses bleeding and saliva flying everywhere.
Hearing the commotion, some of the guests in the main hall shouted, "Someone's causing trouble for the courtesan!"
The guests, filled with curiosity, surged forward, making the corridor completely congested.
The youngest brother of the Imperial Concubine pulled out a knife from somewhere and stabbed the eldest prince's cousin in the stomach.
When the guests saw that a knife had been used and blood was being drawn, they screamed.
"Murder! Murder!"
Without Yun Qiaoqiao and the others making any arrangements, the madam of Baihualou immediately sent someone to report to the city garrison. After all, both the murderer and the murdered were powerful and influential people, and she couldn't afford to take the blame.
The servants ran faster than rabbits, and by the time they reached the gate of the city defense camp, they were completely out of breath.
It is said that someone died in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
The younger brother of the Imperial Concubine stabbed the eldest prince's cousin to death.
Upon hearing these two titles, the on-duty commander of the city defense battalion felt his head spin.
He couldn't afford to take responsibility if anything happened to any of them.
He quickly assembled two teams of men and ran towards the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
The two groups had barely set off when the second messenger arrived.
This time it was the people from Shuntian Prefecture who said that someone had broken into the prison and had abducted a serious criminal, who was running towards the south gate.
The remaining troops of the city defense battalion dared not slack off and quickly divided into two groups to block the south gate.
In this way, the main force of the city defense battalion was split in two. One half was trapped in the crowd of Baihualou to maintain order, while the other half chased after the Black Snake and White Snake and ran wildly towards the south gate. A large part of the city's troops were instantly depleted.
Not long after Black Snake and White Snake escaped with Guang Zhenxiong, White Tiger and Azure Dragon took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Shuntian Prefecture prison.
White Tiger and Azure Dragon rushed to the northwest corner and found the cell where the male members of the Du family were being held.
Five children huddled in the corner, the oldest being nine years old and the youngest two.
The two-year-old was held tightly in the arms of the nine-year-old, his little face was dirty, but he didn't cry or make a fuss.
Baihu pried open the cell door with lightning speed. As he reached in, the nine-year-old boy instinctively hid his younger brother behind him, his eyes wary like a wolf cub protecting its young.
Tears finally welled up in his wolf-like eyes when he saw Baihu reveal Du Yongjun's handwritten letter and the jade pendant he never parted with.
The white tiger said, "Let's go!"
The little boy nodded, picked up the child, and left.
The Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise headed straight for the north.
Old Madam Du had received the message secretly a day earlier, so when Zhuque whispered the code, the white-haired old lady stood up without saying a word, helping her eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang.
Xuanwu observed the way the old lady walked; her legs were clearly not very nimble, and each step seemed like she was stepping on a blade.
Without saying a word, he squatted down and carried the person on his back.
The old lady lay on his back, as light as a bundle of dry firewood.
They found the Du family's young ladies in the south over the course of three days.
The young women, who had been imprisoned for too long, were frighteningly pale. When they saw the newcomer, they were first startled, and then when they saw the family heirloom jade pendant, tears streamed down their faces.
They were lucky; they were young and in good health. Although they didn't eat well in prison, they could still walk on their own and were not persecuted or bullied, nor did they need to be carried.
The three groups of people carefully avoided the soldiers and headed towards the gate.
Meanwhile, the fourth group of people has already begun to take action.
Taking advantage of the chaos within Shuntian Prefecture, Tianlang and Dilang first set fire to the granary and woodshed in the rear office. After the few soldiers went to put out the fire, they quickly came to the aid of Baihu and his men.
After seeing that they had come out safely, Sirius and Earth Wolf released all the remaining prisoners as well.
They dealt with the most heinous criminals without hesitation, and after doing all that, they pushed the prepared firewood and kerosene into each cell and tossed the tinderboxes on top.
A ball of orange-red flames rose from behind the Shuntian Prefecture prison, and thick smoke billowed into the night sky.
The Du family of thirteen was protected and made their way westward amidst the chaos...
