Madam Ning pursed her lips and nodded with tears in her eyes.
"I know, I believe in my husband."
At this time, she had no choice but to trust her husband.
The arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so she had no choice but to give it a try.
God bless, I hope everything goes well.
Ning Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Madam Ning's shoulder.
"Okay, as soon as the gate opens, run to the right as fast as you can. Don't stop."
"Remember? Don't run in the wrong direction."
"I remember." Mrs. Ning nodded.
Prefect Ning looked at Madam Ning deeply, slid his hand from her shoulder, took Madam Ning's hand, and pulled her towards the gate.
Madam Ning looked at the two people's clasped hands, her eyes filled with bitterness.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since her husband held her hand.
Prefect Ning went to the gate and carefully observed the situation at the prison entrance through the crack.
He saw that there were only two jailers at the prison gate, and they were the new recruits who had delivered meals to him in the past two days.
A smile appeared on the corner of Governor Ning's mouth.
Fortunately, the prison gate was not locked. It was all thanks to God.
Prefect Ning put away the smile on his face, looked back at Madam Ning, and winked at her.
Madam Ning trembled slightly, pursed her lips and nodded nervously.
Ning Zhifu took a deep breath, grabbed the pull ring behind the half door, hid behind the door, and pulled it open with force.
"run!"
"Who is it?!" As soon as Magistrate Ning closed his mouth, the jailer at the door heard the noise and shouted loudly.
When Mrs. Ning anticipated the sound, she had already rushed out of the cell with her skirt lifted up, running wildly to the right with her head held high.
The jailers were stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after Madam Ning.
"Stop! If you don't stop, we'll attack you..."
"Hurry up, someone's escaped from prison!"
"Stop... grab her..."
“…”
The jailer, who had only eaten full meals for a few days, was not as fast as Madam Ning, who had been well-maintained.
I couldn't catch up with him for a while.
When Magistrate Ning, who was hiding behind the door, saw the two jailers at the door chasing his wife, he stuck his head out and looked around.
Seeing that the jailer's shouting attracted the attention of people nearby, he immediately rushed out of the prison and headed straight for his private residence.
"master!!?"
Magistrate Ning rushed into the house and immediately closed the door in a hurry.
The woman in the house heard the noise and came out to see the filthy Ning Zhifu.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Shh!"
Magistrate Ning covered the woman's mouth with his hand and dragged her into the house.
"Quick, get me some clothes to change into."
As soon as he entered the warm room, Magistrate Ning quickly took off his dirty clothes.
Fortunately, he bought this house specifically in a civilian area and there were not many soldiers nearby.
After escaping from prison, he originally wanted to go to his father-in-law's house.
It turned out that the gates of the aristocratic families in Menglan City were heavily guarded.
He didn't even go to his father-in-law's house to take a look, but went straight to the concubine's house.
Xiao Cui is his childhood sweetheart, and they have liked each other since they were young.
If his wife wasn't an intolerant person, he wouldn't have kept Xiao Cui away from home.
He didn't even dare to buy a nice house for fear of meeting the Fan family.
He was sure that the Fan family would not come to this place, so he hid Xiao Cui here.
Xiao Cui frowned and picked up the dirty clothes on the ground, and took out a clean set of clothes for Ning Zhifu to wear.
"Master, do you want me to boil some water for you to wash?"
Oh my God, did I fall into a cesspool? The smell is really strong.
Even though the smell of the master was so strong that it made people want to vomit, Xiao Cui didn't show any disgust on her face. Instead, she looked at Magistrate Ning with tenderness.
Prefect Ning paused with his hands, which were covered with clothes.
He thought that once his wife was caught, the jailers would definitely find out that he had run away too.
Maybe they are looking for him everywhere now, so it is really not suitable for him to go out at this time.
"Is there water?"
Prefect Ning looked at Xiao Cui in confusion.
It hasn’t rained in Menglan City for several months. Where does the water come from for bathing?
Xiao Cui raised her lips and smiled, "There's water."
"After the army entered the city a few days ago, the wells suddenly had water."
"The water is clear and sweet. It is said to be a gift from the Dragon King himself."
She had no idea what was happening in the city.
She only vaguely learned some information from the merchants who delivered firewood and charcoal to her every day.
Her identity is not suitable for walking outside. If she meets Madam Ning, she will be finished.
"!!???" Prefect Ning looked at Xiao Cui in surprise.
"Is there such a thing?"
As soon as Shen Yong's army entered the city, the drought in the city was solved, which would be very popular among the people.
No wonder he saw so many familiar faces in soldiers' uniforms.
It seems that all these people have joined Chen Yong?
The corners of Governor Ning's mouth twitched twice.
Only someone so hungry that he would eat anything would want to serve as his soldiers those civilians who were starving like skulls.
"Yes!" Xiao Cui smiled and nodded, looking at Ning Zhifu with bright eyes, wondering,
"Has the master not been in the city recently?"
Such a big thing, everyone in the city knows about it, how could the master not know about it.
The wells here are full of water, and there must be even more water in the wells where the dignitaries live.
Ning Zhifu lowered his eyelids to hide the light in his eyes, gathered his clothes and walked to the window.
"Go boil some water."
"By the way, cook another bowl of noodles for me."
".....Yes!" Xiao Cui didn't ask any further questions. She responded obediently and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Prefect Ning lay on the window couch with a frown, staring blankly at the door.
Fortunately, Xiao Cui has been sensible since she was a child and never asks questions that she shouldn’t ask.
She was also very obedient. When he told her to go out less, she stayed at home and embroidered obediently.
If Xiao Cui had gone out for a walk, she would have known that he had become a prisoner.
He didn't dare tell Xiao Cui about this.
Although he felt very relaxed with Xiao Cui, he did not dare to gamble on human nature.
Xiao Cui is timid, and if she finds out, she will easily be exposed.
He stayed here until it was getting dark, then disguised himself and went to the back door of Ning Mansion.
Find a way to enter the secret passage and leave the city.
Just as Ning Zhifu was thinking about how to avoid the soldiers and find the secret passage, Xiao Cui came in with a bowl of hot noodles.
"Master, eat it while it's hot. You can take a bath after eating."
Prefect Ning nodded, took the chopsticks, blew on the edge of the bowl, and slurped a mouthful of the hot soup noodles.
Xiao Cui smiled and placed a plate of pickled radish on the kang table.
"There's not much food at home, so Master, please make do with this."
Magistrate Ning said "hmm" without raising his head and ate the noodles in big mouthfuls.
As he took a bite of noodles, the two eggs in the bowl fell out.
