A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 88 Weird
"Xie Lei is Xie Daohan's nephew!?"

Duan Rong was puzzled for a moment. Isn't Xie Lei betraying his own uncle by kidnapping Xu Ruhu from prison?

Moreover, it seems that even the outer disciples of Taiyi Sect have been involved in this case, so the case is definitely not a small one.

"There must be something behind this..."

The hangover had not yet passed, and Duan Rong felt a splitting headache after a moment of thought!

He struggled out of the main room, groped his way to the water tank in the kitchen, scooped half a bucket of cold water, and drank it.

After drinking the cold water, Duan Rong felt his dry throat moistened and his head felt refreshed.

He stepped out of the dark kitchen and stood in the courtyard. He saw the night wind rising and falling from time to time, and the round moon like a face hanging high above his head. From time to time, he could hear the noisy sounds coming from afar.

"It seems that the search in the city is still going on..."

Duan Rong sighed, walked back to the main room, and sat half-lying on an armchair.

It was still early, and he was still drunk, so he planned to take a nap for a while...

Duan Rong sat there and picked up the crumpled manhunt poster with a few oil stains on it on the coffee table!

The fat boss of the delicatessen was also quite interesting. Seeing Yang Zhen in his official uniform, he dared to use the wanted poster to wrap three packages of delicatessen and let Yang Zhen carry them...

Duan Rong was half lying there, squinting his eyes, looking at the wanted poster in his hand under the swaying light. This time he looked at it much more seriously and carefully at the portrait of Xu Ruhu on the poster.

"They're offering a reward of 20,000 taels of silver..." Duan Rong couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the lines of text below the portrait. "How could these 20,000 taels of silver be so easy to get? I wonder how deep the water is?"

"Besides, County Magistrate Shen Yanliu is not in the county. There is not even the government seal on this wanted poster. Maybe Xie Daohan is just writing a bad check..."

Duan Rong thought about it for a while and felt that he couldn't figure it out in a short time. Moreover, after sitting for a while, he felt sleepy again.

Duan Rong flipped the poster over and covered his face with it, blocking out the dim light of the oil lamp, and fell into a deep sleep...

The next morning, the two woke up in the faint and noisy morning light.

Yang Zhen slept all night, but it was obvious that the alcohol was still in his body and he looked very uncomfortable.

His leg was injured and it was a little inconvenient for him to walk, so Duan Rong asked him to clean up the leftovers from last night in the house, and he went to the street to buy breakfast, carrying a paint-chipped lunch box.

Duan Rong bought two bowls of beef soup, four sesame cakes, and six steamed buns, filling the two-layer food box.

Yang Zhen looked at the table full of food, picked up a bun, took a bite, and muttered, "You are rich now! You used to be stingy, when have you ever been so generous?"

Duan Rong heard the sour taste in Yang Zhen's words, rolled his eyes at him, and said, "You can't stop eating buns, your sour mouth."

Yang Zhen also knew that there was something wrong with his mentality, so he grinned and said nothing more.

Both of them ate very slowly, chewing their food carefully, which was completely different from the way they ate like wild dogs snatching food last night.

This is also the characteristic of people who have a hangover. They feel weak all over and even have no energy to eat.

"You haven't finished talking about what you said last night?" Duan Rong took a sip of the beef soup with spicy oil and said casually.

"What's the matter?" Yang Zhen was drunk all night and could hardly remember what he said last night.

"It's about a prison break!" After Duan Rong devoured and digested the spirit of the dart and learned that the prison breaker was Jie Lei, he became even more curious about the details of the incident!

Yang Zhen patted his thigh and asked, "Where were we talking about last night?"

"That jailbreaker stabbed you in the leg with a dart..."

"Really?" Yang Zhen had completely forgotten what he had said yesterday and had no idea how to continue the conversation, so he said, "Forget it, I'll tell you from the beginning." Anyway, he was injured and unemployed at home, so having someone to chat with was just a pastime.

"When Xu Ruhu was arrested, Jie Tou was injured while trying to capture him. He asked me and Brother Lei to take turns guarding Xu Ruhu in the death row." "Brother Lei has already achieved the second level of the Inner Breath Realm. Even among the older batch of detectives, he is not weak."

"As for me, Jietou saw that I had only been a constable for half a year, but I had already achieved the first level of the Inner Breath Realm. I was also very smart, so he wanted to train me so that I could be Lei's deputy in the future!"

Yang Zhen paused for a long time when he said this, and just drank the soup and ate the sesame cake.

This was the second time that Yang Zhen had specifically mentioned this matter in front of Duan Rong.

It took Yang Zhen more than half a year to achieve the first level of Inner Breath Realm. If he knew that Duan Rong achieved the second level of Inner Breath Realm in less than two months, what would he think?
Of course, this speed is much faster than that of Zhao Mu, the trainee escort from Yuanshun Escort Agency!

Duan Rong knew what Yang Zhen was waiting for. He sighed in his heart and said, "Yang Zhen, you have been good at fighting since you were a child! You are indeed very talented in martial arts!"

Yang Zhen really looked up, smiled with shining eyes, swallowed the pancake in his mouth, and said proudly, "Of course." Then he continued, "I originally thought that this person would be locked up in the death row for ten days, but who would have thought that he would be locked up for more than a month. Brother Lei and I will be divided into two teams. One team will guard at night, and the other team will guard during the day."

"After more than a month, the brothers have been suffering terribly!"

"That is, the night before yesterday, when we were changing shifts, Brother Lei told us that the letter from the sect's imperial envoy had already arrived at the county government office in the morning, saying that it would reach Xiangu County around noon the next day."

"The brothers were all very happy when they heard that. That night was our last night shift."

"As soon as Brother Lei left, everyone was so happy that they couldn't help themselves. Some people wanted to go out and buy some wine to celebrate, but I suppressed them and said that I would take everyone to the morning market after the class was over. Only then did everyone give up!"

"Are you sure that Jie Lei is really gone?" Duan Rong suddenly looked at Yang Zhen and interrupted.

Yang Zhen looked at Duan Rong suspiciously, not knowing what he meant by asking this question. He said in confusion, "Are you sure? I saw the door of the dungeon tower where he came out! What happened?"

"It's okay! Keep talking!"

Yang Zhen was stunned and said angrily: "Don't interrupt me all the time! I've forgotten what you were talking about!"

"Speaking of what you said about eating at the breakfast market after class..." Duan Rong rolled his eyes at Yang Zhen in annoyance.

"Oh, yes. Then everyone went on their normal patrol duty, and nothing happened that night!"

"It was dawn, the darkest hour... It was almost time for the shift to end. After working all night, everyone was exhausted. Even I couldn't help dozing off while standing there!"

"But, at this moment!" Yang Zhen said, his face suddenly changed, his eyes flashing with surprise, as if he had seen something incredible. "A man in black, carrying Xu Ruhu on his back, ran out of the death row!"

"He just...ran out..."

"Everyone was stunned. I was the first to react and rushed over..."

"He wounded me and ran away!"

"Speaking of which, it was really pathetic! The brother who was dozing off on the tower didn't react at all. He didn't even fire a single arrow and let the fellow escape!"

"The brothers chased after him in the dark night, but he had already disappeared into an alley!"

"It was dawn, and the city gates were not open yet! The brothers notified the guards to strengthen their defenses while informing the suspects, and then launched a city-wide search!"

Duan Rong was silent for a while, then said, "I remember you said that Xu Ruhu was wearing a heavy lock?"

Yang Zhen's eyes suddenly looked as if he had seen a ghost, and he said, "The most fucking weird thing is this. When we go back to the prison to check, the heavy locks on Xu Ruhu were actually cut off by a wire saw!"

"Two heavy lute-shaped locks pierced his collarbone! He even had difficulty eating! Even if he was given a wire saw, he wouldn't have the strength to saw through the locks as thick as a child's arm!"

"Besides, even if it was a normal person with a jigsaw, it would probably take several days to cut through that heavy lock!"

"Do you think this is weird?"
