Barton sighed and looked at Dean after Barry left: "Dean, don't blame Barry. He has found his own happiness. He has been planning to have a child since the end of last year's black snow season. It's really hard for him to give up his family."
Dean was silent: "I can understand."
Kroen whispered: "Dean, what is the big thing you are going to do?"
Dean didn't answer but asked: "Do you have any gold coins left from the last time I gave you?"
The three of them looked at each other. Joseph scratched his head and said, "Originally, after deducting the money for tuition and materials, there were twenty-eight gold coins left. Later, Barton and I got sick, so we spent some, and some for food and drinks. Later, seeing that you didn't come back, we thought that renting a house was too expensive, so we bought a house and spent some more. Now, we only have nineteen gold coins left.
Dean nodded: "I said that the extra gold coins would be given to you as labor fees. But now I've been framed and imprisoned. All the thousands of gold coins that I had saved up are gone. I can only borrow some from you."
The three were startled as they looked at Dean.
"Thousands of gold coins?"
"So much?!"
The three's eyes widened. What was the concept of thousands of gold coins? It was enough to cover the whole bed and lie on it to sleep!
"Is it possible that you were framed because of your money?" Barton couldn't help but ask.
Dean's eyes lit up but he didn't say anything: "We will talk about this later. Time is of the essence. The wanted posters have spread everywhere. The longer we wait, the greater the chance of me being exposed. The first step is to enter the commercial district."
"Enter the commercial district?" The three were startled again.
Kroen couldn't help but say: "Isn't the commercial district behind the residential district? There are nobles and rich businessmen there. How can people like us get in there?"
"There is no place I can't get in." Dean looked at the three: "Don't worry about it. I have my own way. Now let's go and get the money. "
The three looked at each other and nodded.
Dean let them lead the way back to the house where they lived.
The house was located in a remote location, and the streets were dirty and messy. There were piles of garbage everywhere, and no one cleaned them up. Flies were flying everywhere.
Dean waited outside the door. After a while, the three of them came out, carrying luggage and a coarse cloth bag. They handed the bag to Dean.
"Dean, Barry's share …" Barton hesitated.
Dean waved his hand: "It's his." In fact, he had already smelled that Barry had returned ahead of time. As soon as he left, Barry's share had probably already been taken by him.
"Let's go." Dean put away the gold coins handed by the three. There were a total of 14 gold coins. He turned and left the street.
After a while, they came to a tailor shop. Dudian took out two silver coins and gave them to Barton. He told him to go to the shop and buy clothes for each of them. He wanted to buy a set of the best quality clothes.
Barton went into the tailor's shop and soon came back with four sets of linen fabric mixed with silk.
Dean let the three of them change into new clothes. He also changed into new clothes and threw all the clothes into a nearby ditch.
Afterward, Dean took the three of them and hired a few rough men to take them to the abandoned factory. They moved all the purchased materials to the outside of the factory and threw them away.
Barton and the other two were surprised to see the materials worth dozens of gold coins being thrown away. At the same time, they felt heartache. However, they saw Dean's courage. They were more and more sure that their choice was right.
"Dean, why did you throw away these? Didn't you spend a lot of money to buy them?"
"This place will be exposed."
"Are you worried about Barry? Dean, Barry is not that kind of person. He won't tell on us. "
"I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about the magistrate."
"Will they trace us here?"
"It's hard to say. It's better to be prepared."
After all the materials were thrown away, Dean let the three of them go to the second boundary wall and wait for him. He went back to the factory and gave five copper coins to the old man to call out Barry.
"De, Dean." Barry's face was nervous and ashamed as he saw Dean come to find him.
Dean found a remote and quiet place and said to him: "It's not enough to rely on Barton and the other two to help me. I really hope that you can come over. If you think it through then you can come to the outskirts of Eagle Mountain to find us."
Barry looked complex: "I'm really sorry. If I was alone before I would be willing to accompany you to take risks. But now … I just want to live a stable life."
Dean sighed and patted Barry's shoulder: "Think about it." He didn't give Barry a chance to say more as he turned and left.
Barry was startled as he looked at Dean's back. He loosened his grip on his pocket.
After saying goodbye to Barry, Dean came to the second boundary wall. He tracked the smell of Barton and the other two. He went forward and called them: "Follow me and act according to the situation." Then he walked towards the boundary wall.
The three of them looked at each other. They were nervous but they bit the bullet and followed behind Dean.
"Stop!" The guard in front of the wall stopped in front of Dean. His triangular eyes glanced at Dean. He saw that Dean's temperament was extraordinary and his clothes were relatively valuable. The guard's attitude was not too cold: "If you want to enter the residential area, please show your identity card."
Dean nodded slightly and came close to the guard. He took out a gold coin from his pocket and handed it to the guard. He lowered his voice: "Help me."
The guard's eyes moved from the gold coin to Dean's face. He was silent for about two seconds. He took the gold coin and impatiently waved: "Go. Go."
Dean was relieved. He waved to Barton and the other two and entered the passage.
Barton and the other two's hearts were pounding. They didn't expect that Dean would use bribery to enter the residential area. Moreover, he did it in broad daylight. Such a bold act made the three of them break out in cold sweat. Their bodies were stiff and they didn't dare to breathe even after they came out of the passage.
After entering the residential area, Dean hired a carriage. He called the three of them and said to the coachman: "Go to the boundary wall."
Inside the carriage.
Barton patted his chest. There was cold sweat on his forehead as he looked at Dean: "Dean, your courage is really big. What if the guard gets angry?"
"Then we can only turn around and slip away." Dean said.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"You dare to do such a method. We wouldn't dare." Kroen said in a resentful tone.
Dean smiled: "You are law-abiding citizens. Naturally I wouldn't dare to do such a thing." In addition to digging the passage, he had learned more than just suffering and torture.
"I didn't think that it would be so easy to enter the residential area. One gold coin is enough." Joseph sighed. The residential area was out of reach for them.
Dean faintly smiled: "Everything is simple as long as you have money. That includes killing."
"Killing?" The three of them were shocked when they heard the word. Barton suddenly thought of something: "Dean, are you going to the commercial district to retaliate against the people who framed you?"
Dean smiled. He was about to speak when his nose twitched. He smelled a distinctive smell coming from the distance. He couldn't help but lift the corner of the curtain to look.
A moment later, on the road that the carriage was speeding on, five large black horses galloped towards them. On the horses sat people in black armor, with long spears and thin swords hanging from their waists. They brushed past the carriage.
Through the gap of the curtains, Dean noticed that several people had thorns medal on their shoulders.
"Dogs …" There was a trace of coldness in Dean's eyes.
…
…
A moment later, the five black horses arrived in front of the boundary wall. The leader pulled the reins of the horses and stopped. He shouted at the guards, "Have you seen the man on the wanted list?"
The guards looked at each other and shook their heads: "I haven't seen him."
"Well!" The leader snorted: "Keep a close eye on him for the next few days." Then he urged the black horse to enter the slums.
After the five left, the guards turned back and curled their lips.
"The criminal escaped from the prison. How dare he talk to us!"
"He's not our boss. How dare he order us?"
"Isn't this Thorn Flower Prison known as the number one prison? It's said that no prisoner has ever been able to escape from it. It's ridiculous that a 16-year-old kid escaped from the prison!"
The five black cavalrymen naturally didn't hear these words. Otherwise they would have pulled out their swords on the spot.
"Captain, will the criminal come here?" The second black cavalryman asked the youth in front of him.
Frank said without turning his head, "Sir said that the smell of the criminal disappeared in the residential area. Judging from the two horses he bought at the station, he should be planning to enter the residential area. We didn't find him at his foster parents' place, which meant that he didn't go home at all. He hid in another place! This slums is where he came from. Let's go to the Meishan Orphanage to see if he has any friends. "
"Yes."
A few hours later.
North district, in front of the Yuan Shan factory.
Frank sat on his black horse and asked the old man, "Call Barton, Barry, Joseph and Kroen out."
The old man saw their armor and knew that they weren't ordinary civilians. He quickly said: "Okay, please wait a moment." Then he trotted into the factory.
After a moment, Barry was brought out by the old man.
Frank frowned and coldly said: "Why is there only one person?"
The old man quickly said: "There was a person who came here and took away the other three. Only Barry came back."
Frank was startled. Two cold lights shot out from his eyes: "What kind of person is he? Does he look like the person on the wanted poster?"
The old man was shocked: "This, this, I didn't pay much attention. It seems that there is a little difference. But the person doesn't look old. He is at most eighteen or nineteen years old. Anyway, he is very young."
Frank's eyes were gloomy as he looked at Barry who was standing behind the old man: "Kid, tell me honestly, is that person Dean?"
Barry's body slightly trembled. He didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Dean would be caught by these big shots. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "No, that person is just an ordinary friend of mine."
Frank narrowed his eyes: "Do you know what is the crime of covering up a wanted criminal?"
Barry's face was pale as he trembled: "I didn't cover up, I, I …"
"Well! Since you don't want to talk, then I have to send you to prison. Even if you are willing to talk, you are still covering up a wanted criminal. According to the law, you will be sentenced to at least thirty years in prison! "Frank waved his hand:" Take him away! "
Barry was scared. Yellow liquid dripped from his crotch: "Elder, I'll talk, I'll talk, he said he is in the outskirts of the eagle mountain …"
