Chapter 50: Murder for Money
Xi Qiu was covered with a wolf with a head of tea, and when she saw the teapot that was thrown on the bed, she also knew who the culprit was, but because of Wei Lai's attitude at the moment, she didn't dare to say anything about complaining. In the end, he could only cry with a sad face, got up from the bed softly, and then hid behind He Zhi.
Wei Lai was a little amused when she saw this, but now was indeed not the time to explain, so she just glanced at Xi Qiu, and then walked out with He Zhi without saying a word.
Naturally, the other three people in this room didn't dare to stop them, watching Wei Lai and the three of them come out of the back room, and watched them open the door and walk out. At that moment, the three of them were even happy, because the person in front of them was so unpredictable, as long as they looked at the man's broken leg, they couldn't think about it anymore. And such a person is naturally good to leave early.
Unfortunately, tonight is not a good time, for all these people present, it may be regarded as a day of many disasters - when Wei Lai and the others came out to find the carriage in the courtyard, the coachman in the carriage was already stunned by the smoke, and then they had just poured cold water on the people, but before they could even climb up the carriage, they found themselves surrounded by those who lived around...... And for the three people in the house, as long as Wei Lai didn't leave, it would already be a disaster for them.
A few sporadic torches were enough to illuminate the small courtyard, and the strange thing was that the people surrounding the courtyard outside did not make a sound, just stood there silently holding torches.
Wei Lai swept away, and in the darkness under the firelight, there were at least twenty or so shadowy figures, and almost all of them looked young and strong, and the number of people was unexpectedly large.
At a glance at the gloomy faces of these people, Wei Lai knew in his heart that his earlier worries were not superfluous, and these people were probably not good. At least compared to the three in the house, these people are really full of evil spirits, even if most of them have honest and honest faces, but the faintly revealed evil qi on their bodies can't hide from her fierce generals who have returned from the battlefield.
"Come into the house and wait for me." Wei Lai's face sank slightly, and he commanded.
He Zhi also understood something, or out of her trust in Wei Lai, so she decisively took Xi Qiu and the coachman back into the house without asking anything.
Coincidentally, when they entered, the three people in the room were probably aware of the movement outside, and the two women were supporting the man who had broken his leg and was โกโก softly to go out. When the two groups of people faced each other, they were stunned for a moment, but He Zhi reacted and immediately asked the coachman to get the three of them back into the house. What is surprising is that the coachman's movements are very neat, obviously he also has some kung fu, and I don't know how he was planted under the smoke before.
In the silence of the night, the soft sound of "squeak" was amplified countless times, and then the door was shut.
With this soft sound, as if it was a signal, the people who had been surrounding and standing still before suddenly moved.
The houses in the mountains are very simple, and the small courtyard of this simple house can no longer even be summed up in two words. Although this courtyard has a gate and a fence, but those are just for show, the thin fence wall made of bamboo strips can not stop even a dog except for chickens and ducks, let alone those outside.
A young man lifted his foot first, and with a single kick kicked down all the fences. Then, it was only a moment's work, and the fence walls and courtyard gates fell to the ground one after another, and these people quickly surrounded Wei Lai.
No one spoke at this moment, and when the fragile fence between them fell, when the distance between the two sides was close enough to attack, it was inevitable. Because everyone knows that communication is no longer necessary at this time.
For the besieging people, since Wei Lai and the others appeared in this courtyard at this time, it can only mean that they did not get hit and not their own people did not attack. Then, the unsightly deeds they want to hide have naturally been seen by the other party for a long time. In order for the secret to continue to be a secret, Wei Lai and the others must stay.
For Wei Lai, there is no need for more reasons. Tu Cai can still be forgiven, but the murder has touched her bottom line, so she can let go of the three people in the house after Xiao Shi's punishment, but she can't let these obviously blood-stained guys in front of her continue to do evil. Now that it has happened, then we can't sit idly by.
The two sides fought without saying a word.
Naturally, this group of rabble, who have nothing to rely on except for a large number of people, will not be the opponent of General Xiao Wei, who has returned from a hundred battles on the battlefield. However, it was also because there were many people on the other side, so it took a lot of effort for Wei Lai to clean it up. In particular, there were a few cunning people who wanted to break into the house, and Wei Lai was worried that the mediocre coachman would not be able to cope with it, so he had to trouble catching up to stop him.
In this way, it took a lot of effort, and the battle lasted not a short time.
In the silence of the night, in this rarely populated place, the continuous shouting and killing and the occasional howl were already chaotic, but it was more permeable to listen to than the long howl of the lone wolf in the mountains. And as soon as this infiltrating voice sounded, it was half an hour.
The six people in the room naturally divided into two piles, and the sound from outside the room was clearly transmitted through the wooden door that was not very soundproof. Worry or fear, the moment when peace is restored again in the courtyard, has reached its peak. All eyes were on the door, but no one stepped forward to open it.
The knock on the door finally sounded, and the people outside obviously didn't forget them, no matter who was still standing at the end.
"Miss ......" Xi Qiu was already stupefied by tonight's incident, and when she heard the knock on the door, she subconsciously grabbed her young lady's arm. Although she still doesn't understand what happened, there is no doubt that they have encountered the villains, and now she is only worried about whether the extremely fierce General Xiao Wei will be able to deal with those villains tonight.
He Zhi froze, and her gaze swept over the few people in the room. The coachman and Xi Qiu naturally set their eyes on her, obviously waiting for her to make the decision, while the other three were nested in the corner early, their expressions full of horror......
Returning his gaze to the wooden door, which was not very secure, but in an instant, He Zhi had already made a decision. She didn't even tell the coachman or Xi Qiu, so she stepped forward on her own, and then opened the deadbolt without hesitation.
There was a "squeak" and the door opened again.
Outside the house, in the bright moonlight, was the familiar face of General Xiao Wei. Seeing that it was her who opened the door, after a slight surprise, a familiar gentle smile slowly bloomed.
He Zhi finally put her mind at ease. didn't respond to a soft smile as usual, she just raised her head and stared at Wei silently for a long time, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away some blood stains on Wei Lai's face.
