Film and TV: People in Joy of Life become stronger by reading

Chapter 123 Xue Qing, are you demonstrating to me again?

Xia Qifei was captured, the old priest was killed, and the Jiangnan Water Fort was completely destroyed.

Those pirates who were lucky were killed on the spot and did not suffer, while those who were unlucky were captured alive and sent to the government jail, where they were faced with endless torture.

As for those who managed to escape, the government directly issued a wanted warrant.

As long as anyone reports clues, he will be given ten taels of silver. If he can escort the pirates to the local government office, he will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver.

The common people have long hated these pirates, and the high reward was an enticement.

In just two days, the escaped bandits were completely captured and brought to justice.

Inside the prison.

Xia Qifei, the former leader of the pirates, had shackles on his hands and feet, wore a thin shirt, was covered in wounds, and curled up on a pile of hay, shivering.

Now that the beginning of winter has passed, places like Jiangnan are also starting to cool down.

Places like prisons are dark and damp, with no sunlight all day long.

As the leader of the pirates, Xia Qifei was naturally the focus of attention.

Not only were they not able to eat enough every day, but they were also frequently dragged out by the prison guards for “friendly exchanges.”

"Damn it, it's all the fault of that bastard surnamed Xia. He has harmed so many people in Jiangnan over the years. I really want to beat him to death!"

"Hush! Keep your voice down. The Governor has personally instructed that this man must be kept alive. If we really kill him, ten of our heads won't be enough to chop off!"

"..."

When Xia Qifei heard the jailer's conversation, he seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope in the dim environment.

In the prison, the jailers didn't dare to kill him, but beating him every day was really unpleasant.

If this continues, he will go crazy before he dies.

None of these officials in the Jiangnan region are good people. Xue Qing kept him alive just because he is still useful now.

As of now, only one person can save him!

"My lord, I want to see the Third Prince. I have something very important to report to him!"

Xia Qifei roared with all his strength, and his voice echoed in the silent cell.

The two jailers heard the noise and rushed over, glancing at Xia Qifei.

"Boy, the Third Prince is a noble man, how can you just go and see him whenever you want?"

"Hey, you can't say that. What if he really knows something important? Tell us what you know, and we will help you pass it on to the Third Prince."

The two jailers cooperated with each other in unison.

The two of them had already made plans in their minds. As long as they could get the information out of Xia Qifei, they would pass it on to the Third Prince, and the rewards would definitely be generous.

As for Xia Qifei, he is nothing but a dead man if he is no longer useful!
How could Xia Qifei not know what the two were planning? He gritted his teeth and insisted that no matter how the two asked, he would not tell them anything until he met the Third Prince.

"Hey, kid, don't be so shameless, believe it or not, I will beat you to death!"

One of the jailers had a bad temper and raised his whip to hit Xia Qifei on the temple.

This is not an ordinary whip, it is a specially made iron whip.

One whip blow would leave a person half-dead even if he didn’t die.

At the critical moment, a flying knife came from a distance and directly nailed the iron whip in the jailer's hand to the wall.

"Who is so bold..."

The jailer turned around angrily, and when he saw the person coming, his knees went weak and he fell to his knees.

"See Your Highness, Third Prince!"

Li Chengping ignored him and walked straight to the cell: "Open the door."

Who knew the other jailer was such a stubborn person.

"Your Highness, Xia Qifei is a serious criminal. We cannot open the cell door without the Governor's order!"

"So, I am not as good as Xue Qing?" Li Chengping almost laughed out of anger.

Fortunately, Zhang Han had good foresight. With a flash of his sword, he cut the iron chain on the cell and pushed the door open. "Your Highness, please come in."

Li Chengping walked into the cell with satisfaction. Before he could say anything, Xia Qifei came up to him, banging his head on the ground.

"I, Xia Qifei, pay my respects to His Majesty the Third Prince. I beg Your Highness to spare my life. I have very important information to report to you!"

"follow me!"

Li Chengping glanced at him coldly and turned away.

Zhang Han raised his hand and swung out two sword lights, directly cutting off the handcuffs and leg cuffs. Xia Qifei's eyes flashed with joy, and he followed behind step by step, enduring the pain in his body.

It was not until Li Chengping left that the two jailers came to their senses.

"Quick, report this to the Governor!"

at this time.

Inside the carriage.

Li Chengping looked at Xia Qifei who was kneeling in front of him and chuckled.

"Xia Qifei, come to think of it, do you hate me for what happened to you today?"

"Your Highness, I have no grudges, because I am a thief and will be punished by the government sooner or later."

"If it weren't for Your Highness's words when I was captured, I would have been beheaded in public and there is no way I would be alive today!"

Xia Qifei knocked his head heavily.

On the day when the Jiangnan Water Fort was breached, the Ming family and the Governor's Office wanted to execute him in public to appease the public anger.

He thought he was doomed, but fortunately Li Chengping's last words saved his life.

"You see things very clearly."

A strange look flashed in Li Chengping's eyes. Just as he was about to say something, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Your Highness, the people from the Governor's Mansion have stopped our carriage."

It came pretty quickly!
A cold look flashed across Li Chengping's eyes, and he opened the curtain and walked out.

Xue Qing led a group of people to block the carriage's way, with at least a hundred people in total.

Each of them is fully armed and surrounded by murderous aura. They are definitely not ordinary people.

Xue Qing dismounted from his horse, quickly came to the front of the carriage and saluted Li Chengping.

"Your servant Xue Qing pays respect to His Majesty the Third Prince."

"See Your Highness, Third Prince!"

The guards behind him also saluted in unison, the sound was so loud that it almost broke the eardrums.

Li Chengping watched everything indifferently without saying a word.

Zhang Han rode his horse forward and sat on the horse's back, looking down at Xue Qing.

"Governor Xue, are you demonstrating to His Highness?"

"I dare not. I heard that Your Highness took away Xia Qifei, the leader of Jiangnan Water Stronghold. This person is very dangerous. I brought people here to ensure Your Highness's safety."

"Hmph! You don't need to worry about His Highness's safety. Get out of the way immediately. If anyone blocks your way again, they will be killed without mercy!"

A cold murderous intent enveloped the scene. Looking at Zhang Han's hand on the hilt of the sword, Xue Qing lowered his head and his expression changed for a while. Finally, he waved his hand to let his men disperse.

Watching the carriage slowly disappear on the street, Xue Qing's face darkened.

Xia Qifei is an unstable factor and hides too many secrets.

He was thinking of executing the man as soon as he was caught, but he was saved by Li Chengping.

I thought that after the Jiangnan Water Fort was destroyed, Li Chengping would leave, but I didn't expect that he would stay there with peace of mind.

This made Xue Qing dare not do anything to Xia Qifei, and he could only hint to the jailer to torture him, preferably to make this guy a lunatic.

But he never expected that Li Chengping would not play according to common sense at all. He led people into the prison and took Xia Qifei away in public.
