At this moment, from the courtyard next door, there were several gurgling shouts. He knew that this was the companion of the dead ghost Xia soldier looking for him, so he immediately pressed his body against the courtyard wall, and listened carefully, it was probably two people. The two Xia soldiers didn't find anyone, muttered a few words to each other, hurried out of the door, and ran towards the alley.

Qin Yu couldn't help but wonder, how could there be Xia soldiers breaking into people's homes, what the hell was going on?

"These soldiers! How dare you break into people's homes to rob things! From next door came a loud scolding that lowered his voice, and after a while, the courtyard door slammed shut, Qin Yu was silent, he probably knew what was going on, and thought to himself, who made the door of your house the most magnificent? I don't know how many things were robbed this time.

When he turned around, he saw that his sister-in-law was taking Xi'er and was scrubbing the blood stains in the house with water, and Wu Bo had already dragged the soldier's body to the side and began to dig a pit under the courtyard wall, next to which the soldier's armor, helmet, saber and two packages were piled up in a mess. Qin Yu stepped forward and only picked up two packages and returned to the west wing, wiped the blood on the knife carefully, changed into a clean robe, and sat on the side of the kang thinking.

As a nine-rank military attaché, today is not the first time he has killed someone. The many battles with the Hu people have really changed him, and when he faced that soldier, he did not have any timidity and hesitation, and killing this Xia soldier did not make him feel the slightest guilt and uneasiness.

Deserve! He thought to himself. These soldiers did not defend the city properly, but ran to the homes of the common people, which shows that they are innocent. As for the contents of the package, it is naturally honest and unceremoniously smiling.

He opened the small package first, and saw that there were two pieces of coarse dry food, a box of snuff, and next to it, there were a few pieces of jerky made of beef or horse meat, a small knife, some scattered silver taels, and the most eye-catching were more than a dozen yellow gold particles.

Gold particles! Guan Zhuofan grabbed one, looked at the light of the oil lamp, and sure enough, he saw a little golden light emitting gold particles. He calculated that these dozen gold particles, in the nineteenth century, were enough for a medium family to live for a year. It seems that this soldier has really amassed a small fortune, but it's a pity that I was cheapened for nothing, and Lao Tzu didn't even need to say a word of thanks.

He pushed the gold particles aside, and first swept the pile of broken silver into the purse around his waist, which looked like seven or eight taels. I took the larger package again, and as soon as I opened it, I felt a burst of silver light dazzling, and I couldn't help but be stunned when I looked closely. Under the package, there are more than 20 snow-white silver barley, on which are two ingots of gold, and some fine soft jewelry, just looking at the emerald ring, you know that it is worth a lot. This piece of stuff is worth two or three thousand silver!

However, where did this Xia soldier get all this money? He pondered for a while, and suddenly figured out that this was snatched from next door just now.

The one next door who was robbed was the one he knocked on the wrong door on the first day he came to Yongxi Hutong. He had heard Uncle Wu say that the owner next door was different from himself, a poor ghost, with a wealthy family and a lot of money.

But there is money to be rich, I didn't expect to have money to this point. Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, the house and land property are not counted, and it does not count whether there are treasures buried deep in the ground, just the floating wealth that was plundered by those Xia soldiers and distributed to this soldier's bag, there are so many, it is really a bit scary.

sighed for a while, but still re-wrapped the package, tied a knot, and prepared to wait until dawn tomorrow to return the package to the next door. The money of the Xia soldiers, he took it with peace of mind, and this package, how to say it, is also the property of the neighbor, if he wants to hide this "ill-gotten gain" and rely on this money to support his family, he can't get over his own level in his heart.

After thinking about it, he put all the things on the kang into the cabinet first. When I closed the cabinet door, I heard another commotion outside. This time it was different from just now, the people in the alley were noisy, and the sound of knocking on the door kept sounding, and after a while, the sound gradually moved in the direction of their home, and the courtyard door outside was rudely slammed.

At this time, of course, the only one who dared to rampage in the city was Xia Jun. Since they were ordered to collect surplus grain from house to house, they went out to attack everywhere, but when the whole team found that there was only one person missing, they turned back and knocked on the door one by one, without asking, of course, they wanted to search for the missing Xia soldier.

Qin Yu was shocked in his heart, why did this group of soldiers turn back again?

In Han Miaoqing's house, the blood stains have not been washed yet, Wu Bo's pit has not been dug yet, and the corpse of the soldier is still placed under the wall of the inner courtyard.

Qin Yu must not allow such a thing to happen. I saw him return to his house unhurriedly, put on his Jiupin official uniform, walked out of the door, beckoned Uncle Wu to follow him to the outer courtyard with a lantern, and looked down at his dress, but he also had a look. Taking a deep breath to calm himself as calmly as possible, he motioned to Uncle Wu to open the courtyard door.

As soon as the door opened, four Xia soldiers with knives immediately broke in, followed by a military attaché, followed by four soldiers, and there were still soldiers with torches watching inward outside the door. As soon as the officer entered the door, he didn't look at Qin Yu and Wu Bo, without saying a word, he raised his hand and was about to give an order, when he was suddenly slightly stunned, and his eyes fell on the light cyan official robe on Qin Yu's body. He turned his eyes and looked suspiciously at Qin Yu who was standing in the middle.

Qin Yu knew that as long as the military attaché's hand waved, the soldiers would immediately rush into the inner courtyard. Now, he can only bet his last hope on his official uniform and words.

"I don't know if this adult, is it important to come to the door late at night?" He said respectfully and affectionately. Put on a chat atmosphere between colleagues

The officer's face showed a hint of joy, put down his hand, and said, "This is your home?" ”

"Of course." Qin Yu said in an echo

"Sorry for the interruption! We're just searching for a soldier who has left the team. The military attache waved his hand back, and the soldiers withdrew from the courtyard, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest." ”

"Oh, at this time, there are still soldiers who dare to leave their posts without permission?" Qin Yu bowed and said in his heart: Of course he has to leave his post without permission, maybe he is on duty in heaven at this moment?

Seeing that Qin Yu looked completely unaware, the military attache nodded and turned around and walked out.

Qin Yu knew that when he left, he would inevitably have to search the entire alley door to door, not to mention the chickens and dogs, in case he ran into a beautiful female dependent, it was unknown if he caused a tragedy. With an idea in mind, he walked to the door and boldly called out to the military attaché: "My lord! ”

"Huh?"

"The soldier you're talking about, isn't he a lot of beard—" Qin Yu gestured with his hand on his face, "and he's still a little lame."

"Yes!" The military attache walked back, "You saw him before?" ”

"Yes, I saw him come out of my neighbor's house and run out of the alley in a hurry." Qin Yu pointed to the mouth of the alley.

“cao！！” The military attache scolded.

Guan Zhuofan still had a humble expression, but said in his heart: Yes, yes, cao him, cao him.

"Thank you for saving us a lot of trouble." The military attache waved his hand, "Line up!" Let's go. With his soldiers, he walked towards the mouth of the alley.

However, just as Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to close the door, the military attache suddenly stopped and turned around and walked back.

"Right and wrong are just because you open your mouth!" Qin Yu didn't know what flaws the officer had discovered, and he complained bitterly in his heart. But the matter has come to this, and he can only wait for him to make trouble.

But the military attache walked up to him and looked at him again with an expressionless face, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Need food?" The military attache, he stared at Qin Yu tightly, and said hintly. After saying this, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and after exchanging some grain and grass with silver taels.

Before leaving, the military attache said one more word!

"That's right, the general! Tomorrow, as long as there is a military attache who is not on duty, he will go to the state department yamen to report! ”
