Before the guards could take him away, he hurriedly picked up the waist token from the ground, glanced at it briefly, clasped his hands in a fist and said humbly:
"You despicable Sun Yuan!"
He looked panicked, which was 80% feigned and 20% genuine.
Qiu Dafu is still waiting to rescue people; they absolutely cannot risk their own lives.
Unexpectedly, things didn't go as planned.
The man in white glanced sideways at Zheng Hong and Jiang Lian on the ground, and said coldly, "Lock them in the woodshed!" Then he turned and left.
These two were reckless and deserve to be punished.
However, since he was in need of capable people at the moment, he gave them a small punishment to teach them a lesson.
Zheng Hong looked embarrassed. Usually, he was the one punishing others, but tonight, the tables had turned.
Before he could even catch his breath, a guard grabbed his arms and dragged him forward.
The guard in front of him had a calm and steady demeanor, and his strength was superior to his.
If even the guards act this way, it's clear that their master must be extraordinary.
Knowing he could not resist, Zheng Hong allowed them to be taken to the woodshed.
Outside the prison, Qiu Dafu hid not far away, constantly observing the movements of the government office.
He was waiting, waiting for Zheng Hong and the other man to create an opportunity for him so that he could take the chance to save people.
Fifteen minutes later,
Zheng Hong was locked in the woodshed.
Jiang Lian, of course, could not escape being imprisoned either.
He was awakened by the pain after being ruthlessly thrown to the ground by the guards.
When he woke up again, he found himself locked in the woodshed. It took him a long time to realize that he had not encountered a ghost that night.
This pampered young master had never experienced such humiliation.
He stared helplessly at the roof of the woodshed, thinking of his family, and felt utterly useless, not just ordinary useless.
He shifted his body, crawled towards the door of the woodshed, and pushed hard against it, shouting, "Let us out..."
"Third Young Master, they've already gone far away. You should save your energy and think about what to do. Brother Qiu is still waiting for us."
They could not afford to relax at this moment.
"I know." Not only Qiu Dafu was waiting for him, but his sister-in-law's parents were waiting for him too.
Zheng Hong: "Where is near the woodshed?"
Jiang Lian: "Let me think about it." He pondered for a moment, "The kitchen is up ahead."
Zheng Hong: "Can you run it?"
"ah?"
"Proceed according to plan." Zheng Hong was afraid that their identities would be exposed, leading to their deaths, so there was no time to delay.
After he finished speaking, he walked to the window of the woodshed and cleaved it open with a single palm strike.
He was a county constable, after all; how could he be so easily trapped by villains?
Before Jiang Lian could react, Zheng Hong took out a tinderbox that he had prepared beforehand.
"Wait!" He had barely finished speaking when Zheng Hong used a tinderbox to set the thatch on the ground ablaze. "Zheng Hong, are you trying to set yourself on fire?"
"Run!"
Zheng Hong pulled Jiang Lian up, quickly jumped out of the window, and left the woodshed.
As soon as he came out, he started shouting into the air, "Fire!"
"Fire!" Jiang Lian shouted, struggling to maintain his swaying body. In an instant, bright candlelight appeared in all the surrounding windows.
The once quiet night was suddenly thrown into an uproar.
Where is the fire?
"The woodshed is on fire..."
"Quickly, put out the fire..."
"Someone come here..."
Zheng Hong and Jiang Lian, taking advantage of the chaos, quietly sneaked into the kitchen.
The fire in the woodshed grew larger and larger, and more and more people came to put it out.
Of course, the fire alerted the man in white.
He stared at the raging fire before him, glanced to his left and right, and demanded sharply, "Who's on duty today?"
The guard beside him then questioned his subordinates, and after asking around, he returned to report.
"It's Sun Yuan and Lin Han."
"Sun Yuan?" The man in white frowned deeply. What was the purpose of these two men burning down the government office?
