Chapter 171: Eavesdropping is a technical job
The night was already deep, and the two rows of lanterns in the Jiaolong Gang camp were lit except for the wooden gate, and the lights elsewhere had long been extinguished, and there was silence with the moonlight.
Yin Ren and Zhao Xian jumped into the wooden fence one after another, not daring to stay in place for more, taking advantage of the temporary cover of trees, wall corners, boulders and other hidden objects, they quickly swept forward, and soon entered the depths of the houses where the Jiaolong Gang lived.
According to Zhou Yi's words, the patrol in the gang will be patrolled every other hour, and the shift will be changed every two hours, at this time it has passed the handover time, and the patrol of each hour has ended, which should be the most neglected time, but according to the cautious character of Zhao Xian and the others, even if the other party is conclusive, he and the two are only half-convinced.
The two of them did not encounter the night patrol team along the way, Zhao Xian's heart relaxed slightly, she knew that as long as she passed through the place where the gang lived, she would be able to reach the residence of the Jiaolong Gang Hall Master and above, and that was the beginning of the danger.
Yin Ren led the way silently in front, and the tall mountain standing proudly was close in front of him, but Yin Ren did not continue to move forward, but turned his body to the right and walked towards the mountain wall, Zhao Xian followed closely step by step.
Seeing that he was about to reach the mountain wall, Yin Ren suddenly stopped, saw a large stone in front of him and flashed over, Zhao Xian reacted quite quickly, and without waiting for a greeting, he also flashed behind the stone.
The two squatted behind the stones, Yin Ren made a gesture, signaling Zhao Xian to slowly stretch out his head to look, Zhao Xian nodded, and the two quietly poked out half of their heads to look, by the moonlight, there was a huge house on the side of the mountain wall as far as the eye could see.
The house was evidently much larger than the usual quarters, and there was a man standing outside the door, who was leaning against the door and drowsy, and the light of the house was shining through the windows of the house, especially in the darkness
Zhao Xian looked at Yin Ren with a puzzled face, seeing Yin Ren staring intently at the window of the house, his ears seemed to be listening to something, and after a moment his expression relaxed, his hand pointed to the door, and at the same time, his body quickly flashed out from behind the stone and jumped towards the man.
At this time, the night was more than halfway over, the man leaning against the door, his chin rested on his chest, his forehead nodded to the bottom from time to time, almost falling asleep, Yin Ren quickly approached him, his palm fell, and slashed at the back of his neck, the man fainted again before he was awake, and his body couldn't help but rush forward.
Yin Ren raised one foot slightly, and blocked the man's forward body, and his right arm bent and passed under the man's armpit, pulling the man half-wrapped and half-supporting behind the stone where he had been hiding earlier.
Yin Ren had already taken a good look at it, this person's figure was somewhat similar to himself, and he took off this person's coat after dividing it by two, and after dressing it up with himself, he looked down at the clothes on his body a few times, and Fang reluctantly nodded.
Yin Ren's hand pointed to the window in the dark part of the room, flashed out at the same time as Zhao Xian, jumped to that place, and leaned his ear against the wall.
"Why didn't that kid come alive? In the old days, I was always the first to arrive! A male duck said in his voice.
"According to the hour, he should have handed over, even if he crawls over from the dock, he can be there at this time, right?" The other continued.
"Why wait for him? If he went to drink with the drunkard, would he have to wait stupidly? Why don't we start first! ”
"Do you know what a fart, if he is not there, who will he tell Lao Tzu to win?" The male duck said with a smile in his voice.
Someone from outside came in again and said disdainfully: "You bastards, you dare to start the game today, aren't you afraid that the captain will come to investigate?" ”
"Afraid of a bird! What time is it? You don't know that the captain was happy in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion last night, and when he came back at noon, his face was pale, presumably he galloped too much on the Hibiscus girl last night, and at this time he was afraid that his hands and feet were weak! The duck laughed.
There was a burst of laughter in the room, and someone shouted, "How do you know so well?" Didn't you go to Baihua Pavilion last night? ”
"The captain earns more than ten taels of silver per month, and Lao Tzu only has a monthly amount, so can he have the money to go to such a Fengyue place? If you have this money, it is better to come here to start a few games, and when Lao Tzu has won enough, he will beg the little lady of a good family on the island to be a Hun family (note: wife)" The male duck said proudly.
"Duck, you are dreaming before you lie down?" Someone scoffed.
"Hugh is wordy, it's too late, let's not wait for that kid, let's start the game first?"
"It's good! Shall we begin? Tonight or the big bet? Someone on the side chimed in.
"Self!"
After a while, there was the sound of dice rolling from inside the house, and the sound of kicking and tapping footsteps came in from the outhouse, as if they were watching from the sidelines.
Zhao Xian heard it clearly outside, the people in the group who wanted to wait were estimated to be one of the people who were stunned by Yin Ren before, but fortunately, this group of people couldn't wait, and they didn't speculate more.
Zhao Xian saw that there was nothing special about this house, and she didn't want to waste any more time listening, so she pointed her finger forward, Yin Ren nodded, and the two were about to leave, but their faces changed, and they squatted down against the wall at the same time.
In a short time there was the sound of footsteps in the silent night, which came closer and closer, until the door of the house stopped, and someone whispered, "Push the door open!" ”
The door was gently pushed open, and the shouting in the room grew louder, and no one heard the door.
The people in the outer room saw the door being pushed open, and just as they were about to open their mouths to remind the people in the inner room, they were stopped by a fierce look, and no one dared to make a sound again.
The person in the room was rolling up his sleeves and arms, stepping on the stool with one foot and shouting, someone reached into his arms and took out a handful of copper coins and put them in front of the bowl marked with the size, and shouted: "Buy big!" The voice fell, and he was immediately silenced, and said to the door: "Captain! ”
The male duck turned his back to the door, and when he heard the word 'captain', he laughed: "Aren't you afraid of losing and shouting 'captain' to scare Lao Tzu?" Don't say it's the black god, it's the three gang leaders who are here, and Lao Tzu is not afraid! ”
"Are you really not afraid?" There was an irrepressible voice behind him.
The male duck shook his throat, turned his face slowly, and happened to meet the black evil god in his mouth, only to see the eyes full of anger, his legs trembled a few times, and one leg on the stool slipped, and finally he couldn't hold his body, and fell to the ground.
"What day is this? You dare to do such a messy thing under Lao Tzu's nose, and a few of you will go to the 'Law Hall' to receive punishment. The leader said that he would not look at the men any more, and lifted his legs and walked out.
Someone whispered, "Where is the man who is outside the door?" He took our copper coins for nothing, but slipped away. ”
The other person hurriedly "shhh
The leading black god stepped out of the door of the inner room with his front feet, and when he heard the words, his steps paused, his face became more and more difficult to look at, and he turned his head and looked at a few more people in the house, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he didn't say more, and walked out of the house with a wave of his hand.
Outside the window, Zhao Xian and the two glanced at each other, with a little worry and a little joy in their eyes, clearly understanding the meaning in each other's eyes, the two squatted in the dark corner, patiently waiting for the night patrol captain to take people away, they really didn't dare to delay any longer, took a light breath, and swept deeper along the mountain wall.
