Chapter 693
The streets suddenly became lively.
The patrol soldiers, Jinyiwei, and Zijinguan Taoist priests all began to rush towards the Nanguo County Prince's Mansion.
Obviously, they knew about the death of those people immediately.
Luo Qingzhou walked into the dark alley, and after several Zijinguan Taoist priests hurriedly left, he walked out and continued to walk towards Zijinguan.
Even if he didn't do it just now, the Nanguo County Prince's Mansion should have done it.
So the mess can only be left to them to deal with. I hope that the words he said before leaving can be of some use to them, and I hope that the emperor will not embarrass them.
Think about it carefully, the emperor was mad at the escape of those monsters, right?
In order to find the Qin family, he actually attacked his uncle directly.
Or, was it just that those people from Zijinguan and Jinyiwei took the initiative to go there to please him?
If you think more deeply, maybe the emperor has begun to exclude dissidents, or maybe he has already explored the attitude of the Nanguo County Prince's Mansion towards the eldest princess.
All possible.
But no matter what the reason, his actions are nothing but accelerating the process of his failure.
The Enfeoffment Order has already been implemented. He has already offended the kings in various places, and now he has begun to offend these princes in Kyoto.
I believe the princess should be very happy to see this situation, right?
Of course, I believe that many of the things that have happened recently were secretly promoted by the princess.
From some of the things he saw after entering the palace, the princess is really not simple.
While thinking, Luo Qingzhou came to the northwest corner of Zijin Temple and looked at the wooden door behind.
He stood in the dark and waited for a while.
Several souls flew up from the temple and hurriedly flew towards the Southern Kingdom Prince's Mansion.
The old Taoist priest obviously had a very high status in Zijin Temple. His death would naturally cause a shock to Zijin Temple, so there would definitely be many Taoist priests going to check.
At this time, the defense of Zijin Temple was the most empty, and it was also the best opportunity for him to get in.
"Squeak..."
At this moment, the wooden door suddenly opened, and two more Taoist priests came out from inside and left in a hurry.
Luo Qingzhou waited in the darkness for a while before walking directly towards the wooden door.
Then he jumped and jumped in.
The Taoist temple was pitch black, with only a few lights on the attic not far away.
He hid in the shadows and walked forward for a distance, and soon saw the two stone unicorns in the corner.
A dark passage appeared between the two stone unicorns, and the steps extended all the way down to the ground.
This should be the dungeon of Zijin Temple, right?
Seeing that no one was guarding outside, Luo Qingzhou was puzzled for a moment, holding the whisk in his arms, and walked over in a swagger.
As soon as he got close, two red lights suddenly lit up in the eyes of the two stone unicorns, shining on him together.
Luo Qingzhou's heart trembled, but he did not stop and continued to walk into the dungeon.
At this time, the red light in the eyes of the two stone unicorns suddenly went out, and at the same time, a low conversation came from the mouth of one of the stone unicorns.
"It's Senior Brother Wang. He probably just changed shifts and came to the dungeon to relax."
"Hehe, he probably came for the noble lady we caught today. Senior Brother Wang likes plump women like that the most..."
The conversation between the two soon disappeared.
Luo Qingzhou pretended not to hear it, lowered his head slightly, and continued to walk down the stairs calmly.
Not long after, he walked to the end and turned a corner. Suddenly, a red light curtain appeared in front of him, blocking the passage.
If it weren't for the Taoist priests of Zijin Temple, it would be difficult to pass through this light curtain, right? Or, as long as he touched this light curtain, it would set off an alarm.
Luo Qingzhou paused, and immediately took out Dabao and Erbao from the storage ring, hid them in his wide sleeves, and then walked directly towards the light curtain.
"Puff!"
With a light sound.
He directly penetrated the light curtain and continued to move forward.
Sure enough, with Dabao and Erbao, all the formations and barriers can be easily passed.
He secretly felt lucky, immediately put away Dabao and Erbao, continued to walk forward quickly, and soon walked out of the passage and came to the cell.
The first thing that caught his eye was the rows of strange and hideous torture instruments hanging on the wall and placed on the iron rack in the corner.
Two middle-aged Taoist priests were sitting there pushing bamboo cards. In front of one of them, there was a thick stack of gold coins. The other Taoist priest had a serious look on his face and urged impatiently, "Hurry up!"
The slightly fat Taoist priest who won the money was in a very happy mood. He glanced at Luo Qingzhou and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, you just changed shifts, right? Do you want to play a few games?"
Luo Qingzhou covered his mouth, lowered his head slightly, coughed a few times, and said in a hoarse voice, "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I won't play anymore. Let's play, two brothers."
The slightly fat Taoist priest smiled and said, "You are not feeling well and still want to play with women? Hehe, it should be fine after playing."
Then he raised his hand and threw out a bunch of keys and said, "We caught two fresh ones during the day and locked them in cell No. 5. Go, just don't kill them. We will select a few corpse refiners later."
"You are so long-winded, push the cards quickly!"
Another Taoist priest immediately urged impatiently.
The slightly fat Taoist priest smiled and pushed out the bamboo cards in his hand.
Luo Qingzhou took the key, lowered his head, and walked forward quickly, looking anxious.
He took a look at the keys in his hand. There were ten keys in total, with numbers from one to ten.
But this cell is very big and deep, and there are obviously more than ten cells.
I don’t know who is in the other cells.
These Taoists seem to arrest people every day. The arrested people can be insulted by the Taoists in the temple at will, and they will even be refined into corpse slaves in the end. Even if they are evil demons, they will not be so dirty and inhumane, right?
Luo Qingzhou was full of anger and stopped in front of the door of the first cell.
He looked around, took out the key, slowly opened the iron lock, and then carefully pushed open the cell door.
A foul smell came from inside.
In the dark corner, several men and even a child were huddled together. When they saw the iron door opened, they were all locked together and trembling.
Luo Qingzhou took a look and closed the door without locking it.
He took out the key again and opened the second cell.
In the corner of the cell, there was a wooden stake, and a naked woman was tied to the stake.
The woman lowered her head, her hair was disheveled, and it was unknown whether she was asleep or unconscious.
On the ground next to her, there were some torn clothes, which looked like the clothes worn by warriors.
Luo Qingzhou was quiet for a while, walked in, and prepared to help her untie the ropes on her body. Who knew that just as he approached her, he saw her suddenly raised one foot and kicked him hard in the crotch, gritting her teeth and cursing: "Beast!"
Luo Qingzhou dodged easily without saying a word, passed by her side, and with a flash of cold light in his hand, he helped her cut the ropes on her body.
The woman's body softened and slid to the ground, and then pounced on his thighs again, opened her mouth, and prepared to bite him.
Luo Qingzhou stepped back and dodged, saying: "Save your strength, remember to escape later."
After that, he threw her a man's robe and turned to leave the cell.
The woman was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and looked at his back with a face full of doubt.
"Ku!"
Luo Qingzhou opened the third cell again.
There were two little boys locked inside, who looked like twin brothers. They were hugging each other, hiding in a dark corner, shivering.
Luo Qingzhou whispered, "Remember to run out later."
He closed the cell door ajar, but did not lock it, and opened the fourth cell.
There was no one in this cell, but there was a large pool of blood and a lot of hair on the ground.
Luo Qingzhou looked at it for a few times, closed the cell, took out the key, and opened the fifth cell.
As soon as the cell door was opened, a figure suddenly rushed out of the darkness next to him and bit him!
Luo Qingzhou grabbed his neck and took a closer look. It was a young woman. Judging from her clothes, she should be a woman from a wealthy family.
At this time, the woman struggled desperately, stretched out her nails to grab him, and cried and screamed: "Beast! You beasts! May the sky be struck by lightning, and you will not die well!"
In a corner not far away, there was a girl sitting. The girl had disheveled hair, two whip marks on her face, her dress was torn, and there was some blood on her legs. At this time, she was trembling all over and crawling up from the ground, saying in horror: "Mother... Mother... Don't hurt my mother..."
As soon as she crawled up, she fell to the ground again in pain, and blood flowed down her legs. She cried: "Mother, it hurts... Qiao'er hurts..."
Luo Qingzhou stared at her blood-stained skirt and suddenly walked over.
The woman's body softened and she sat on the ground. Then she hurriedly crawled on the ground and chased after him, crying and begging: "Don't... don't hurt her anymore, please... I'm willing, I'm willing to accompany you... please..."
Luo Qingzhou walked to the girl, supported her with one hand, and slowly lifted her torn skirt with the other hand.
He trembled, his face turned pale, and he raised his hand tremblingly and held the broken whisk.
The girl cried, "Mother... Mother..."
The woman ran over and cried and begged behind him: "Please, don't, she will die... Please..."
Then she threw herself on him, biting and beating him.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the blood that kept flowing on the girl's legs, slowly closed his eyes, then took a deep breath, and slowly took out the whisk with trembling hands.
The girl screamed miserably, her body softened, and fainted...
The woman also burst into tears.
Luo Qingzhou immediately took out the spiritual liquid and trauma medicine produced by the Sun and Moon Treasure Mirror, handed them to the woman behind him and said, "Help her apply them quickly, these medicines are very effective, maybe they can save her."
The woman was stunned for a moment, looking at him with tears on her face.
At this time, footsteps and the obscene laughter of the slightly fat Taoist priest suddenly came from outside: "Junior Brother Wang, why are you making such a big noise? What new tricks are you playing? Let me learn it too."
The figure of the slightly fat Taoist priest suddenly appeared at the door. Before he could see clearly inside, he laughed and said, "By the way, Junior Brother Wang, did you see my half-broken whisk? Hehe, the girl just now... um?"
In the corner of the cell, there was only the mother and daughter hugging each other, but Junior Brother Wang was nowhere to be found.
The slightly fat Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to turn his head to look at other corners, a hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness at the door, grabbed his neck, and dragged him into the cell.
Then, the iron door closed.
The slightly fat Taoist priest widened his eyes and punched to the side, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, which made his body go limp and his fist fell down weakly...
Luo Qingzhou pinched his neck with one hand and held the half whisk with the other hand. With a "puff", he stabbed directly into his heart, from his chest to his back!
