Forty-one, conspiracy shows - night exploration of Qijiazhuang (middle)
The handyman's head gurgled and rolled at the feet of a man who bent down to pick up the wide-eyed head, shook it in his hand, and then said to the man in the room, "This time you can rest assured, he won't say anything." ”
The man inside had no emotion, as if killing people had become commonplace for him.
"Xingchen, remember to dispose of the corpse, and then find a reason to send his family away, if it is more difficult, you should know how to do it."
The voice of the man inside was as cold as ice, as if what was decided in his mouth was not a person's life or death, but a very ordinary thing.
"Master, will they be fooled?"
"What I want is not to be fooled, but to plant a seed in their hearts, and what we need to do is to let this seed sprout slowly."
"But," Xingchen said thoughtfully, "If this comes to that moment, Qijiazhuang will have countless casualties and a great loss of vitality." ”
"Which force that has reached the top is not stepping on corpses and blood, they will understand us."
The nights of the winter moon are very cool, and it seems that because there is no snow, the nights here are much lonelier.
When the drum beat the second watch, Ah Li quietly pushed open the door of his room, then looked left and right, and found nothing abnormal, pulled up the mask hanging on his neck, completely covered his face, and his energy flowed, and suddenly he exerted force, and in an instant Ah Li's whole person appeared on the beam of the roof.
Just after the fifteenth, the moon was still very round, hanging high in the dark night sky like a pearl, as if adding a touch of embellishment to the silent night sky.
Ah Li crouched on the beam, held her breath, and after determining the direction, she used her strength again, got up, and moved towards her goal, but what Ah Li didn't know was that not long after she left, another figure appeared out of thin air on the roof beam, watching Ah Li's gradually disappearing back, and then flew in another direction.
Qijiazhuang as a whole is divided into two parts: the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, the outer courtyard is for guests and miscellaneous servants, and the disciples live, and the inner courtyard is inhabited by the various personnel of the five rooms of Qijiazhuang, and there will be family soldiers patrolling the night every night, especially after the incident, it is even more heavily guarded.
The lights in the inner courtyard went out very early today, but there was one place where the lights were always on, Ah Li knew that it was the mourning hall, and Qi Hanshan's body was placed there, and there were usually people guarding the mourning hall, but today I don't know why no one was there.
Ah Li was a little curious, so he avoided the soldiers who patrolled the night, and came to the outside of the mourning hall, a coffin was placed in the center of the mourning hall, and the white candles burning around it kept swaying in the wind, and the white silk hanging around it didn't know when it started to shake its body
。
Ah Li frowned, and it was at this time that she realized that she didn't know when, the originally bright full moon was also blocked by a cloud, so this place was once again submerged in the night.
Ah Li saw that there was no one in the mourning hall, so he was curious and quietly entered inside, but as soon as he entered the hall, he heard the sound of talking from the side hall of the mourning hall.
Ah Li dodged, and hid behind the screen on the side of the mourning hall, holding his breath and concentrating, for fear that he would expose his flaws and be discovered by the other party.
"Second brother, what you said is true"
"It's true, this is the note I just received," said a squirming voice, "Big brother, look." ”
Although Ah Li has not had much contact with the people in Qijiazhuang, he can still hear that one of the two people from Qijiazhuang outside is Qi Xuan, and the other, Ah Li is not difficult to guess, should be the person in charge of the second room, Qi Lei.
"I don't know what is written on the note" Ah Li was a little curious, but he didn't dare to make too many moves, so he had to hold back his curiosity and hide behind the screen to listen to the conversation between the two.
"I went to the study to look for you just now, and when I saw that you weren't there, I wanted to go to your room to look for you, but I met Qi Song on the way and said that you were keeping vigil in the mourning hall, so I came over."
Qi Xuan took the note from Qi Lei's hand with a solemn face, he knew that if what Qi Lei said was correct, then this matter would be very important to Qijiazhuang.
Qi Xuan slowly opened the note, and when he saw the words written on it, he instantly gasped and looked at Qi Lei in disbelief.
"Big brother, don't look at me like this, I don't believe such a thing will happen."
"Who gave this note" Qi Xuan's tone was serious, and his eyes were cold.
Qi Lei shook his head, and then said, "This note was wrapped in a stone and thrown directly into my room, and now my window is still broken." ”
"I don't know" Qi Xuan glanced at the note in his hand again, he wanted to see if he could find the corresponding person from the handwriting, but when he looked at the note again, he found that the handwriting in it should be written with his left hand, the font was crooked, there was no style, and it didn't look at whose handwriting Chu Chu was.
"Qi Jiazhuang has set up a spy in the Black Armor Guard," Qi Xuan asked again.
Qi Lei shook his head and said, "The secret agent is all in charge of the uncle, and now the uncle is not sudden, and he has not explained these things to anyone." ”
Qijiazhuang rules, in order to ensure the safety of the spies everywhere, the arrangements and personnel lists of the spies everywhere are in the hands of the owner, in addition, the other rooms perform their duties and do not interfere with each other, such as the five rooms, specializing in commercial affairs, Qijiazhuang's business workshops in various places are managed by the five rooms, and Qi Hai, the owner of the five houses, is also a business wizard
In just a few years in his hands, he brought Qijiazhuang's economy and silver level back to the peak before the Battle of Liuling.
Regarding the matter of the spy list, Qi Xuan was not in a hurry, when he went to Kyoto Mansion for the first time, Qi Hanshan explained some things to him, including the matter of the spy roster.
Qi Xuan knew where the roster was, so he thought about finding the roster and flipping through it to see if it was really as the handwriting guessed.
Qi Lei saw that Qi Xuan stopped talking, so he said, "Big brother, what should I do now, the other party is a black armor guard, if it is really like what the note says, Qijiazhuang will suffer a catastrophe." ”
Qi Xuan naturally knew what Qi Lei said, but it was difficult for him to distinguish between truth and falsehood now, and all he could do was wait and see what happened.
"In the past few days, we have sent more manpower, especially in the outer courtyard, as long as we get through my father's first seven days safely, we will be safe."
In fact, Qi Xuan thought very simply, no matter whether what was written on this note was true or false, as long as he sent someone to keep an eye on the other party, there would be no mistake, as for Qi Hanshan's first seven, as long as the first seven were over, he would give the other party an explanation, at that time, no matter what the explanation was, they would all leave Qijiazhuang, since they were no longer in Qijiazhuang, then the Zhuangzi would be safe.
After hearing this, a trace of displeasure flashed in Qi Lei's eyes, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with what Qi Xuan wanted to explain to the other party.
"Big brother, do you really want Lianyu to go to Kyoto Prefecture?"
Qi Xuan didn't answer Qi Lei, just waved his hand at him, and then said, "Let's not talk about this matter yet, you can quickly arrange the matter of sending more people." ”
Qi Lei saw that Qi Xuan deliberately avoided the topic, so he didn't ask any more questions, but the displeasure on his face became more prominent.
On the other side, Ah Li, who was hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping, when she heard the black armor guard, it seemed that some things had been figured out, since she could drive the black armor guard, and his surname was Chu, it was obvious that the "eldest prince of Chu" who invited him over was a member of the royal family, and if he expected it to be good, it should be the eldest prince who slaughtered the Ye family in Liuzhou back then, Chu Zizhan.
Thinking of this, Ah Lizhong had another question, that is, why did the eldest prince want to see his teacher, did he want to secretly expand his own power I heard that the eldest prince and his second brother of the crown prince have always been at odds, and I think it should be the reason.
Ah Li was so engrossed that he forgot that there were two people outside, and he was relaxed for a while, and he actually withdrew his efforts to cover his breath, and for a while, his energy was disordered, and he actually made a burst of wind blowing on the screen.
And the two outside, who are also the best in Qijiazhuang, suddenly heard a movement in the mourning hall, the two of them looked at the screen together, and then scolded in unison, "Who is there"
