Chapter 639: Found the Dungeon
Seeing Luo Junhe blocking him, he said impatiently: "Mr. Yun, you and your wife can decide how to transport the rice. This city lord will arrange for someone to help you sell it in the name of the government."
"When we make money, we'll split it up. If there's nothing else, that's it. This city lord really has other things to do."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was in a hurry to leave, but Ji Yuntang stepped forward again to stop him.
"City Lord Jiang, this is our first time here, and we haven't had a good look at the layout of the City Lord's Mansion yet!"
"Lord Jiang, would you mind showing my wife and I around and giving your mansion a tour?"
In the past, Jiang Wangbei would have been a thousand times willing to accept Ji Yuntang's proposal.
Before, he relied on his gentlemanliness and demeanor to deceive many ignorant girls.
But now, he was in no mood to deal with such things.
Jiang Wangbei just wanted to get rid of Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe as soon as possible, and then go to the secret room to check the situation.
He thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Yun and Mr. Yun want to visit the City Lord's Mansion, of course that's no problem, but I have something important to do right now, so I really can't spare the time to accompany you."
"How about this? I will arrange a guard to take Madam Yun and Young Master Yun to visit the City Lord's Mansion. What do you think?"
Ji Yuntang was waiting for this opportunity.
She wanted to wander around the City Lord's Mansion openly in order to find the location of the dungeon and then find a way to get in.
Therefore, she agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, thank you very much, Lord City Lord."
"Since the Lord City Lord has important matters to attend to, my husband and I will not disturb you. Please do as you please."
Ji Yuntang moved aside and let Jiang Wangbei leave.
How could she not see that Jiang Wangbei was almost delirious from the fever.
At this time, he did not rest in the room, but sneaked out and ran around.
This behavior is very detrimental to the condition.
But Ji Yuntang was not so kind as to remind him.
When I think about the many girls who died in the secret room, their parts were cruelly dismembered and made into so-called works of art.
Ji Yuntang even wanted to kill Jiang Wangbei.
Fortunately, her reason prevailed over her action.
This time, Jiang Wangbei was infected with dysentery, and he would have destroyed himself without them having to do anything.
Ji Yuntang knew very well that among the doctors in Liangzhoukou, no one except her could cure dysentery.
Another point is that she wanted to take advantage of the time when Jiang Wangbei was sick and had no time to take care of the prisoners to go to the dungeon and rescue An Qi and Long Yin.
This is a good opportunity for Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe to save people.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuntang happily followed the guards arranged by Jiang Wangbei.
Luo Junhe held her hand, and the couple strolled in the City Lord's Mansion. They seemed to be strolling around, but in fact they were observing the movements around them.
As they walked, they looked around curiously, and from time to time asked the guards where this place was and what that place was, just like two country folk who had never seen the world.
Until, as he walked further and further away, Ji Yuntang saw an iron gate.
There was a large group of guards guarding outside. They were wearing armor, holding spears, and standing there in a neat and orderly manner.
At a glance, there were estimated to be about thirty people.
Ji Yuntang heard the painful roars and the beatings and scoldings of the jailers, and she guessed that this might be the dungeon at Liangzhoukou.
But out of acting she still curiously asked the guard leading the way, "What is that place?"
The guard glanced at her and said arrogantly, "You don't even know this. This is the most dangerous place in the City Lord's Mansion. All the prisoners there are extremely vicious."
"If you two want to survive, you'd better stay away from there. The city lord has specifically ordered that no outsiders are allowed to approach the dungeon, otherwise they will bear the consequences."
Ji Yuntang thought slightly, this means that An Qi and Long Yin were imprisoned in here.
The guards outside are indeed very tight during the day, and it is extremely difficult and dangerous to sneak in.
I can only wait until night and find a way to sneak in and take a look.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuntang took a few steps back. She looked very scared and hid behind Luo Junhe.
"Husband, let's go quickly. I heard that those who came from Liangzhoukou are all exiles. If they rush out of the prison later, we will be dead."
"Or, let's leave the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible. I'm really scared."
Luo Junhe gently touched her head and said, "Don't be afraid, Madam. I am here to protect you."
The guard next to him twitched his mouth, as if he didn't expect Ji Yuntang to be so timid.
Just standing outside the dungeon, she was already shaking with fear.
Jiang Wangbei only asked him to take Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe to visit the City Lord's Mansion, but did not tell them to leave.
The guards knew very well that the city lord had kept the two of them as they were of great use to him.
He is just a small follower and cannot afford to offend them.
Thinking of this, the guard said, "Madam Yun, the criminals in there are all wearing shackles and leg irons. They will only be taken off when the city lord asks them to do something."
"You don't have to worry about safety. These people have long been subdued by the city lord. They can't make any waves, let alone run away."
Ji Yuntang patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, I was worrying too much."
When Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were visiting the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Wangbei had already arrived at the secret room.
As soon as he entered, he saw that the person hanging above the oil pan was gone, the rope had been cut, and the oil pan below was still sizzling with oil, without moving at all.
Jiang Wangbei's face was frighteningly dark, as if a storm was about to come.
He clenched his fists and questioned the guards behind him, "Have you searched the City Lord's Mansion?"
When he arrested people, he was very sure that Xiaolian and Xiaohe knew no martial arts at all.
Therefore, it was impossible for the two of them to untie the rope by themselves. It was very likely that someone came in and rescued them.
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately said, "Your Excellency, the City Lord, our subordinates have already searched the City Lord's Mansion, but have not found the whereabouts of these two women."
Jiang Wangbei: "!!!"
He felt a breath rushing up into his heart and he almost fell over.
Suddenly thinking of something, he immediately walked out, turned the mechanism on the pillar outside, and opened the door of another secret room.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the things inside were still there.
Fortunately, all his artworks are still here intact.
This means that the person who rescued them probably did not open the door of this secret room.
