Chapter 68: Exploring Liu's Mansion at Night
At the gate of the border city, the guards of the city gate checked the pedestrians, and on the city wall next to the city gate, a notice and two portraits were prominently pasted, attracting many people to stop and watch.
"To offend Dong Xiongwei and Dong Wanru, who were originally brothers and sisters, but they did something unethical, and their families found out and blamed them. In a fit of rage, Dong Xiongwei killed all five of his parents and domestic servants. This wicked thief has been punished for such acts. When you find these two people, you hope to inform the city guards that you will be rewarded!"
"Look at the two people above, I heard that a few days ago, there was a medicine hall in the border city where a family of five was slaughtered, and the death was really horrific!" said one person.
"Have you heard? Someone saw that the people of the Dong family were all the brother-in-law of the city lord, that is, the innocent Liu Gang who killed him!" said one person angrily.
"Shhhhh
The man who spoke before shrank his neck, obviously knowing that he was not angry for a moment and almost invited death.
And not far from the city gate, there were three men standing. One of them, a man and a woman, had angry lips that turned a little purple, while the other frowned slightly. Apparently, the three men had also heard the contents of the notice that the man had read earlier.
These three people are the brothers and sisters of Shen Hao and the Dong family who galloped back all the way, at this moment Dong Xiongwei and Dong Wanru both had red eyes, and their teeth were almost crushed, obviously angry to the extreme. Especially Dong Wanru, what women value most is their reputation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is more important than life. However, at this moment, he was so defiled by others, and he was still with his brother, and he was already very calm in his heart if he didn't faint on the spot.
Shen Hao's heart was also full of anger at the moment, through a few days of contact, Shen Hao could find that this Dong Xiongwei was the kind of true temperament man who had no scheming, but at this moment, this kind of thing could not be solved by brute force, because the strength was not enough! After all, behind the other party was the army of the entire border city.
"I'll rush in now, even if I lose my life, I will kill that Liu Gang, who deserves death!" Dong Xiongwei held the handle of the big knife tightly with one hand, and his eyes were even more fixed in the direction of the city gate.
"Don't be rash, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. If you leave this life here now, I'm afraid your father's spirit in the sky won't be blind!" Shen Hao hurriedly persuaded, for fear that the other party would really rush in on impulse.
"Brother Shen, you don't have to persuade me, even if I die, I will kill that thief!" At this moment, Dong Xiongwei obviously carried away with hatred, and he was about to walk towards the city gate.
Shen Hao hurriedly said again: "You rush over now, even if you die, maybe you won't even be able to enter the city gate, and what kind of revenge are you talking about!" After speaking, he dragged Dong Xiongwei back.
"That's it, I'll go to the city to check, even if I want to kill that Liu Gang, I need to prepare in advance. There are pictures of your brothers and sisters on this wall, so don't go into the city. While it's still early, you should rush to Tiannan Town as soon as possible, and the matter of revenge still needs to be considered in the long run. "After all, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and Shen Hao is the only sober-minded person among the three at the moment, so he will arrange it immediately.
After hearing what she said, Dong Wanru's mind that was carried away by shame and anger instantly sobered up, and hurriedly said to Dong Xiongwei, who was still tense beside her: "Brother Shen is right, if we break in so recklessly, it will just be sent to death!"
Although Dong Xiongwei still had a resentful expression, he was still quite convinced of what Shen Hao said, and Dong Wanru's persuasion forced the anger in his heart down.
Although Shen Hao is not very old, whether it is cultivation or wealth, Dong Xiongwei is beyond his reach, and the most important point is that Shen Hao is also the life-saving benefactor of Dong Xiongwei's brothers and sisters. Although Shen Hao didn't take this matter to heart, Dong Xiongwei didn't dare to forget it for a moment.
"I still have some broken silver here, I think when you run out, you shouldn't have too much money with you! You take these first, buy two horses, and if you leave now, you should be able to rush to Tiannan Town after dark! Wait for me directly at the Lingyun Inn!" After that, Shen Hao took out a handful of broken silver from the storage bag, and roughly estimated that it would be at least a few dozen taels.
When he saw the embarrassed expressions on the faces of the Dong family brothers and sisters, Shen Hao immediately said: "I will lend you this money!
As soon as this sentence came out, Dong Wanru was very embarrassed to hold the broken silver with both hands, and tears were already flashing in her eyes.
After receiving the money, the two of them didn't have a mother-in-law, so they directly bought two horses at the horse stall outside the city gate, and quickly disappeared from Shen Hao's field of vision.
Although Shen Hao had had some festivals with that Liu Gang before because of Zhong Luo, in fact, it didn't have much to do with him. And Shen Hao and Zhong Luo are both outsiders, so Liu Gang doesn't know the name, and he can't even remember the appearance of the two of them, so there is no notice that Shen Hao and Zhong Luo are wanted. After some inspection, he swaggered into the border city.
As soon as Shen Hao entered the city, he suddenly heard a person say loudly: "Check carefully, if there are suspicious people, they will all be tied up to see me." When Shen Hao heard the prestige, he saw a middle-aged man wearing armor and a thin body, shouting loudly at the guards at the city gate.
The guards at the city gate immediately replied loudly: "Yes, Lord Commander"
Shen Hao took a closer look but felt as if he had seen this person somewhere, and then thought for a while, and then suddenly realized, and hurriedly turned his head over, as if he was afraid of being seen by the other party.
However, the middle-aged man in armor looked around, his eyes swept over Shen Hao's body, and he slowly walked into the distance.
Shen Hao glanced at it quietly, and after making sure that the middle-aged man was far away, he thought suspiciously, "Isn't this one of the two guards beside Liu Gang that day!
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he immediately figured it out, after all, Liu Gang was the brother-in-law of the city lord, and it was not impossible to install a few people in the city guards! But if Dong Xiongwei wanted to take revenge, I am afraid it would be difficult! Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly and walked towards the city.
At night, Shen Hao strode out of the inn, and there was a cool breeze blowing in the early autumn night. Walking on the streets of the border city, after a while, I came to a gate about a foot high, only to see a huge stone lion placed on one side of the gate, and it was a big family at a glance.
Shen Hao's eyes raised slightly, and through the faint moonlight, he clearly saw the two gilded characters of 'Liu Mansion'. Suddenly, his figure flashed into a dark alley, and he quickly changed into a black suit. A face towel was pulled up slightly, covering his face, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.
The spiritual power in his body was running, and he jumped to the roof with a slight leap under his feet, tossing and turning, and in a moment he had already arrived in the courtyard of the Liu Mansion.
As soon as he fell into the compound, there was a sound of footsteps, and I saw Shen Hao's body like a ghost, and he hid in the shadow behind the flowers in a flash. Gently brushing away the branches and leaves, Shen Hao saw a two-person patrol team walking towards him.
Shen Hao instinctively retreated slightly, and at this moment, there was a sound of "pop" under his feet, Shen Hao's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly held his breath.
"Who?" The two patrolling guards who heard the movement here hurriedly ran over with a loud shout.
The sword in his hand was pulled out with two sounds, pointing to the location where Shen Hao was hiding, approaching step by step, and the sword in his hand was even more playing with those flowers and branches.
At this moment, Shen Hao's heart was as if there were thousands of rabbits jumping around, and his whole heart was beating wildly.
At the moment, these two people are ordinary people, which Shen Hao can see at a glance, and they are not the enemy of his own blow, but as long as he makes a move, he will definitely make a disturbance, and if he provokes those monk guards in the mansion, it will be troublesome.
Just when Shen Hao was at a loss, suddenly a black kitten, as if very curious, approached his side little by little. Shen Hao was overjoyed in his heart, and as soon as he touched the storage bag, a thin cyan steel needle appeared in his hand, and quietly shot towards the black kitten.
The black kitten was suddenly attacked, and all the black cats in its body exploded, and it flew out with a 'whoosh'.
The two guards were looking at it with all their vigilance, only to see a black shadow suddenly burst out, and suddenly their hearts were startled, and the sword swung wildly, but after the poor little black cat was hit by that needle, it just came out and couldn't move, and was instantly slashed by this sharp sword.
"Damn! It's a cat, I'm scared to death!" The two guards looked at it and saw that it was actually a black cat, and their hearts were immediately relieved.
"I said Lao Wang, this cat seems to be Madame's little black!" one of the guards said to the other with a weak heart, looking at the little black cat that had almost been chopped up on the ground.
"It seems that it's really, it's troublesome now!" the man was obviously stunned, and then he hurriedly looked at it, and suddenly his heart that had just been put down was raised again.
The guard looked around for a moment and hurriedly said, "While there is no one now, hurry up and pack up! Hurry up! It's really unlucky!" After a while, the place that was originally stained with cat blood was also washed away, and after doing all this, the two hurriedly walked into the distance.
After watching the two guards walk away, Shen Hao's heart finally relaxed.
