Chapter 180 Who robbed the prison

Gu Xi drove the carriage to a deserted place, lifted the curtain and went in. While bandaging Zhou Qing's wound, he said:

"Old man, we are going to take you away from the capital and live in anonymity. Are you willing?"

Zhou Qing saved Gu Yunqing and let Gu Yunqing live in the manor under an assumed name.

Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, it was Gu Xi's turn to repay the favor in this way.

Zhou Qing looked at Gu Xi in surprise: "Who are you?"

Gu Xi quickly wiped it on his face, and what came out was Gu Xi's true face.

Uh, never mind. Let’s just leave it as it is. It would be strange if the Imperial Master appeared in the capital now.

Gu Xi smiled slightly:

"Old man, I am Gu Xi, the daughter of Gu Yunqing, and also the friend Xi that you made friends with in Chengyang County."

Zhou Qing looked Gu Xi up and down. He knew when he was in Dingxi County that this girl had the ability to change her appearance.

"You, you really are, Moutai?"

Gu Xi was very upset. It seemed that old man only remembered Moutai.

"That's right, Maotai is delicious, right? Come with me, and I'll let you Maotai be free from now on."

Zhou Qing looked at Chu Zhao again:

"Then he is not Zhang Shu anymore?"

How could Zhang Shu be so kind as to save him?

"Yes, I'm Chu Zhao, old man."

Zhou Qing was very excited, but also worried:

"Taking me out like this is equivalent to robbing a prisoner, which is a capital crime."

Chu Zhao pointed to his face, which still had makeup on, and laughed:

"Who noticed that it was us who robbed the prison? It was clearly Zhang Shu who robbed the prison."

Anyway, Zhang Shu was not a good guy, so it was his bad luck to be killed.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing. He had disliked Zhang Shu for a long time. What a good trick!

Then the laughter stopped abruptly, and the wound was pulled, it hurt so much!

"But if I just leave, I'm afraid it will implicate my wife." Zhou Qing said worriedly.

Gu Xi felt Zhou Qing's pulse and found that the weakness caused by the trauma was not fatal and would be cured after a period of recuperation. So he said:

"Then let's go back to Zhou's house first, and you take everyone you want to take with you."

Zhou Qing hesitated and said:

"There are checks at the city gates. How can you take us out of the capital? If we are caught and taken back, you will also be implicated."

Gu Xi said: "Don't worry, old man, we have arranged all the backup plans and we guarantee that nothing will go wrong."

Zhou Qing thought about it and thought that Gu Xi had the ability to disguise himself so well that he might be able to take them out.

Everyone rushed to Zhou's house. When Mrs. Zhou saw Zhou Qing covered in blood, her worries of the past few days turned into tears of heartache.

"master!"

Zhou Qing hurriedly said, "Madam, now is not the time to cry, call everyone in the mansion here immediately."

The Zhou family was poor and had few servants. Including Zhou An, there were only eight servants in total, men and women.

Zhou Qing did not hide it from everyone and said directly:

"I escaped from prison and now I want to stay away from the capital and hide my identity. If you are willing to follow me, you can go with me. If not, you can go to my wife to get some money and leave on your own."

Unexpectedly, none of the eight servants were willing to leave, and they all chose to go with Zhou Qing.

Most of them were orphans adopted by Zhou Qing. They were not slaves, but they were very loyal to the Zhou couple.

Gu Xi said: "That's all, you guys take a nap and you'll be safe when you wake up."

After saying that, he flicked his fingers and Chu Zhao cooperated by holding his breath.

What Zhou Qing was thinking before he fainted was: Why do I need drugs to disguise myself?

Gu Xi placed Zhou Qing, Madam Zhou and eight servants of the Zhou family in the space villa, and then he and Chu Zhao disguised themselves as ordinary people and quickly left the capital.

When they got outside the city, Gu Xi took out a fighter plane and they flew straight to the north.

Just as they were leaving, Shen Mingzhe, a doctor from the Ministry of Justice, happened to be interrogating a prisoner. He passed by Zhou Qing's cell and asked:

"Hmm? Where's Zhou Qing?"

The jailer said hurriedly:

"Master Zhang just came and took the person away."

The doctor of the Ministry of Justice frowned and asked, "When did Lord Zhang take the person away?"

The jailer replied: "Not even half an hour yet."

The doctor of the Ministry of Justice muttered:

"That's strange. Lord Zhang just said this morning that Zhou Qing doesn't need to be tried and we just need to wait for His Majesty's order. No, I have to go and ask."

Shen Mingzhe came to Zhang Shu's public house, bowed, and said:

"Sir, the jailer just said that you interrogated Zhou Qing. Did you find anything new?"

Zhang Shu frowned:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I say this morning that Zhou Qing doesn't need to be tried anymore? If we continue, his old bones will die. If he dies before Your Majesty issues an order, it will be hard to explain."

Shen Mingzhe was shocked:

"But sir, Zhou Qing is no longer in the prison. The jailer said that you took him away."

Zhang Shu saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he immediately stood up and said:

"Let's go and have a look!"

The two arrived at the Ministry of Justice Prison, and the jailer came to greet them:

"Sir, who are you going to interrogate today?"

Zhang Shu kicked him:

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is my first time here today!"

The jailer was kicked to the ground. He was always stubborn and said aggrievedly:

"But sir, you just interrogated Zhou Qing half an hour ago. Everyone saw it."

Although the other jailers present thought it was strange that Zhang Shu suddenly got angry, they did see Zhang Shu come to the prison and take Zhou Qing away. They looked at each other and nodded.

Zhang Shu was furious.

"I have been staying in the public housing for the past hour and have not gone out at all. Did you let the prisoner go and want to put the blame on me? I think you are tired of living!"

All the jailers were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

No one could afford to be accused of letting the criminal go, so they begged for mercy:

"Please spare my life, sir. It was not us who let Zhou Qing go."

Then they came to their senses. Could it be that Lord Zhang lost the prisoner and wanted to find a scapegoat?

Letting go a heavily sentenced prisoner without permission, especially one personally appointed by His Majesty, is a serious crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan.

But everyone has a wife, children and elderly parents. You can’t just frame someone just because he holds a high position, right?

Shen Mingzhe took a step back and watched coldly.

He felt that these jailers did not seem to be lying, and how could so many jailers lie together?

Could it be that there is something wrong with Lord Zhang?

Although he was Zhang Shu's subordinate, he always worked seriously. Although he appeared respectful to his leader Zhang Shu on the surface, he actually looked down on him in his heart.

Because Zhang Shu was a person of very bad character, had no real talent or knowledge, and often spoke ill of his subordinates and thought he was great.

"Catch them all and interrogate them!" Zhang Shu roared.

Zhang Shu was followed by only four yamen runners. Upon hearing this, the four looked at each other, and the leader asked in embarrassment:

"Sir, are they all going to be taken away?"

There are dozens of jailers. How can the four of them catch him?

Moreover, how can the Ministry of Justice prison function without half of its jailers?
