Master Lu looked at the jailer's impatient expression and it didn't seem like there was anything fishy going on.
It seems more like he thinks they are in the way.
Indeed, during the time they were in prison, the jailer served them three meals a day and had long been displeased with them.
Master Lu pulled the corner of his lips, climbed up from the hay, patted his butt,
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Master Lu politely bowed to the jailer, then turned around and greeted several yamen runners.
"Let's go."
After these few good days, I can be considered to have made some money.
A group of yamen runners followed Master Lu out of the cell, with runner Zhang being the last one to fall behind.
He smacked his lips twice and looked back at the cell with reluctance.
Goodbye, good day...woohoo...
As Master Lu walked out of the cell, he instantly closed his eyes and raised his hands to cover his eyes.
I haven't seen the sun for a long time, and it's still so dazzling.
After adjusting for a while, Master Lu led the yamen runners and moved towards the city gate tremblingly.
No one followed them along the way.
The faces of the people on the street were filled with hopeful smiles, and they were talking about building a training ground and having work to do again.
"Training ground!?" Master Lu frowned in confusion.
Even though he was very confused about where the training ground was built, he didn't dare to stop anyone and ask.
He was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth to ask, the other party would find an excuse to hold him down and chop off his head.
Curiosity killed the cat. If you go to jail again, you may not receive such good treatment.
Only when they were almost at the city gate did Master Lu breathe a sigh of relief.
The city gate is right in front of me, and it seems that I can really go home.
While queuing to leave the city, Master Lu and his group were extremely nervous even during this short stretch of road.
Finally, it was their turn.
"Master Lu!" The guard at the city gate glanced at Master Lu, then glanced at the few people following him, with a faint smile on his face.
Master Lu's heart sank nervously, "...Yes."
The guard smiled, turned around and called out to the small pavilion at the city gate, "Master Lu is here."
This sound scared Master Lu and the others to death.
Master Lu took a few steps back, feeling flustered.
He knew why they would let them go so easily.
Although he didn't find out anything, he saw a lot in Qianhuang City.
If you think about what is happening in Qianhuang City a little, you will know that Qianhuang City is really going to rebel.
Privately building city walls, privately recruiting new soldiers, privately building training grounds...
In the cell, he also heard the jailer and the bailiffs talking about the construction of the palace.
He secretly built a palace and proclaimed himself King Qianhuang. If any of these things were to be known, he would be guilty of a capital crime.
Only the people in Qianhuang City were happy, and their lives seemed to be getting better and better, but they didn't know that their heads could fall off at any time.
How could he let them go after he saw such a big secret?
Master Lu felt sad.
My life is over~
After so many good days, it turns out that this might be the last meal for execution.
The yamen runners behind Mr. Lu also looked panicked.
Only the fat foodie Li Yayi showed a hint of anticipation on his face.
Are they going to arrest them and put them in jail again and keep them there?
Just when Master Lu and his companions were feeling uneasy, the guard in the pavilion came running over with a basket.
"This is what the old lady prepared for you. Grab the things and leave quickly."
The guard stuffed the basket into Master Lu's hand and urged the others to leave.
Master Lu was pushed out of Qianhuang City by the guards with a confused look on his face.
It was not until he was more than ten meters away from the city gate that Master Lu came back to his senses. He turned his head and looked deeply at the brand new and majestic city gate tower of Qianhuang City.
He lowered his eyes to look at the heavy basket in his hand, and reached out to lift the cloth covering the basket.
Yayi Zhang looked over curiously.
“It’s a meat bun!!!”
“There’s even a water bag!”
When Li Yayi heard that there were meat buns, his eyes lit up and he quickly stretched his head to look over.
"Really? It's still steaming, it must have just come out of the pot. It smells so good!"
Li Yayi sniffed his nose. If he hadn't eaten breakfast, his saliva would have dropped.
The aroma of the meat buns just out of the pot is really tempting.
Master Lu took a deep breath, frowned, and picked up the water bag from the basket.
The water bag feels warm to the touch, and it seems that it is filled with hot water.
"Two people share one water bag. Form your own teams."
Master Lu looked at the four water bags in the basket, took out three and distributed them to the yamen runners.
He brought four yamen runners with him and two yamen runners sent by Magistrate Liu. The six yamen runners were just enough to divide three water bags.
He has a water bag of his own.
There were 20 meat buns and 30 white flour buns in the basket.
No wonder the basket is so heavy, it’s filled with real stuff.
Each person got two meat buns and four white flour buns.
"Everyone, take your own rations. It will take us two or three days to walk back. These are the meals for the next few days."
After Master Lu finished the distribution, he picked up the much lighter basket, looked back at Qianhuang City deeply, turned around and strode towards Bailong City.
He now has no idea what Qianhuangcheng is trying to do.
After they were captured, they were not tortured, but were treated to good food and drink.
He let them go and gave them food for the journey.
The more I think about it, the weirder it is. It feels so much like going to a relative's house to beg for money.
........
"Have they all been released?"
Shen Yong looked through the drawings sent by Prefect Deng and asked.
If the jailer had not gone to ask for instructions from Magistrate Deng, he would have almost forgotten about Master Lu and the others.
Now that Bailong City is also his, there is no need to keep these people locked up.
"Yes." Magistrate Deng nodded and smiled, "They are living a comfortable life these days and don't want to leave their cells."
Life in Bailong City is so hard that no one would want to leave if they felt comfortable in the cell.
The food and drink are good, but the sleeping environment is not very good, otherwise it would be like living like a god.
When have those poor yamen runners ever lived like this?
Not to mention that it is a year of famine, even in a year of bumper harvest, people do not eat meat every meal.
The yamen runners in several cities near the capital might have an easier time.
Yamen runners like them in remote areas only live a little better than ordinary people.
"Heh~" Shen Yong raised his lips and chuckled, "They will suffer when we get back."
Bailong City lacks everything, except food, water, salt, and meat...
Magistrate Liu never asked him for help when he mentioned the food shortage.
He also guessed that Magistrate Liu must have used the refined salt to exchange for silver, grain or something like that.
