Three Thousand Worlds Prosperous Chapter 273 Falling into the Hands of Thieves
Although Duan Congyu's tone was resolute, somehow, Jiang Chengjia inexplicably heard a trace of pity for the girls who were abducted and imprisoned from his words.
When the words fell, he brushed his sleeves away.
When the man had received the command, he bowed his head, and went from the back corridor to the house on the east side. Seeing this, Jiang Chengjia immediately said to Qian Shan beside him: "You be careful and follow behind that person, and first go and see where the imprisoned girls are being held." Once found, wait there. At the moment, as soon as the sky sank, a chirping hammer was immediately released, and the shadow of the candle and the wind came to the rescue. ”
Qian Shan frowned and said, "What about you, girl?" ”
Jiang Chengjia turned his head to stare at Duan Congyu, who was walking slowly under the corridor, and said, "I'll follow him to find the whereabouts of the account books." ”
Qian Shan said worriedly: "Girl... Do you have to act separately? I don't worry about you. ”
Jiang Chengjia reprimanded: "If you don't go, I'm afraid you won't be able to follow the big man who came to report it!" ”
Qian Shan looked at the big man who was running under the corridor, hesitated in her heart, and then heard Jiang Chengjia comfort: "Don't worry." I know the right thing. ”
"Good. The slave went to track down the man first. Girl, don't act impulsively..."Qian Shan settled the panic in her heart, and chose to believe in Jiang Chengjia's usual calm and cautious arrangement.
"I know. You can rest assured. Jiang Chengjia said to her.
Qian Shan then clasped his fists, turned around and walked on the white stone at the head of the wall, and followed the big man who had been talking to Duan Congyu to the east.
Jiang Chengjia watched Qian Shan fly and climb on the eaves and jump towards the east, and gradually condensed into a black dot figure, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
She clenched her fists, crawled sideways on the eaves of the green tiles, and carefully followed Duan Congyu step by step, gradually walking towards a dimly lit corridor.
Duan Congyu did not practice martial arts, so it was difficult to detect that someone was following him firmly behind him.
I saw the man in the dark robe light the red candle placed under the corridor, and walked back and forth in the corridor a few times, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Chengjia looked at this place, puzzled. This corridor leads to a sealed gray wall, which is a dead corner of the courtyard, and it doesn't look like there is any organ corridor, why did Duan Congyu put candles here?
She leaned upside down, leaving a trace of vigilance, and poked out a pair of eyes from the porch to look at Duan Congyu directly below.
Seeing that his face was full of sadness, his handsome and upright facial features were crowded together, as if he was entangled in something.
She waited patiently for a while, and then saw Duan Congyu looking around, as if to reconfirm whether there was anyone around. Jiang Chengjia hurriedly stretched his head back.
After a while, she poked her head out and looked under the corridor, and saw Duan Congyu squatting in front of the blue brick mud wall inside, groping for something. In just a moment, he touched a few loose green bricks, and the solemnity on his face was slightly relaxed.
Duan Congyu pulled out eight pieces of masonry placed side by side from the wall, and he didn't know what was pouring into the wall, and after a while, his face was covered with dust.
Jiang Chengjia watched intently.
Two more green bricks fell from the mud wall, and Duan Congyu took out a thick dusty book from it.
Jiang Chengjia frowned, trying to see what was written on the oily cover of the book, but he had no choice but to see nothing.
Duan Congyu took out the book, and the gloomy cloud on his face that had finally loosened up condensed for some reason at this moment.
He stood under the corridor and stared at the book in his hand for a long time, as if he had made some decision, so he took the book into his arms and returned to the courtyard of Fang Cai.
Seeing his nervous expression, Jiang Chengjia concluded in his heart that the book was the account book that could correct the Fu family and the Ma family's private recruitment.
So she followed.
Before he could find a place to hide on the back of the tiled house, he saw Duan Congyu holding the book, taking out a wooden tube from his sleeve, lighting the fire and throwing it into the firewood piled up in the courtyard.
The firewood was a little damp, and after a wisp of green smoke rose, it was quietly extinguished, and Duan Congyu kept taking out the fire fold from the wooden tube to light it, and then threw it into the firewood.
Before Jiang Chengjia could figure out what Duan Congyu was going to do, he saw a fire coming out of the firewood, which gradually burned from the middle to both sides of the firewood, and the more it burned, the more it burned.
Duan Congyu took the scroll in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly threw the scroll into the raging fire and burned it.
Jiang Chengjia was shocked in his heart, didn't think much about it, turned over and flew towards the courtyard, passed by Duan Congyu, quickly pulled out the burning book from the pyre, and kicked into the air and flew towards the opposite eaves.
Duan Congyu suddenly saw a white shadow appear, and he was horrified, and before he could react, he saw the woman wearing a long hat dragging a part of the burned account book and disappearing on the eaves.
He hurriedly chased after him, shouting as he chased, "Someone! The thieves are here! Jump on the wall, catch it! ”
At this time, the patrol team that happened to be searching in the courtyard where Duan Congyu was located heard the shouting, and they all looked towards the wall, only to see a white figure flashing in front of them. Parkway
Jiang Chengjia grabbed the scroll in his hand, quickly extinguished the fire, and flew away on the high walls of each house. Soon, the alleys of this private house were filled with stout men, staring at the high walls one by one.
Behind her, someone jumped up the wall and chased after her.
Therefore, it is four o'clock in the hour, the market in the city has long been closed, this abandoned house is uninhabited, the surrounding shops that have been converted into storefronts have been locked and closed, and even the restaurants and teahouses on the opposite side have also closed their stalls. The bungalows across the street from the back alleys of abandoned houses are some distance from here, and because of the stone carvings for tonight's dinner, there is a faint smoke rising from the sky, and no one notices the movement of this house. Therefore, their group became more bold, and the pursuit of Jiang Chengjia became more unscrupulous.
Jiang Chengjia protected his lower abdomen, and after running for a while, he felt out of breath, and there was a feeling of discomfort in his abdomen.
She hurriedly stopped flying away, jumped off the wall, and took advantage of the darkness to hide in a hidden corner of the house.
Right now, this private house is noisy and full of people looking for her. She could only hide in the corner for a while.
She grabbed a corner of her hand, blackened the account books on both sides, and calmly flipped through a few pages. Seeing that the words recorded on it were related to soldiers and horses, I couldn't help but doubt in my heart. This account book is equivalent to the voucher for Fu Bo and Ma Yue to transfer soldiers and horses from various scholar families, why did Duan Congyu burn it? She couldn't figure it out.
In short, fortunately, he had this move, so that she could take advantage of the opportunity to snatch the account book, even if it burned a corner, it did not affect the reading.
It's just that Duan Congyu's strange behavior has always been like a fishbone stalk in her heart, which always makes her feel uneasy.
The number of patrols in the yard has become more and more diverse.
Gradually, her hiding place at the moment also became precarious.
Jiang Chengjia hurriedly went to the depths of this new mansion that she was very unfamiliar with, wanting to find a new hiding place.
She dodged the brawny men who were searching for her, and slipped into a very ordinary bungalow. At this moment, a group of strong men in the house came to the house, and she hid behind the door against the wall and did not dare to move.
I heard hurried footsteps in front of the door, and then there was a conversation.
"Where's the caretaker here?"
"We're all looking for thieves."
"How so? Even if you want to search for thieves, you must not leave it unguarded. You two stay here. Waiting for orders! The others come with me! ”
"Whoa."
Jiang Chengjia quietly poked a small eye out of the window screen and looked out, and saw two strong men guarding the door, staring at the movement under the corridor inch by inch.
She couldn't help but sigh softly and muttered in her heart. It seems that she has reached a dead end, and I don't know... What is in this house that someone should stay and guard it?
Jiang Chengjia looked around the dimly lit room and frowned.
She was always on the lookout, tiptoeing towards the house. After walking a few steps, I saw a huge screen on the right side of the room. Jiang Chengjia walked over with small steps. I vaguely saw that there seemed to be a figure shaking on the other side of the screen.
Just as she was about to flee to the screen in front of the door, a dark figure sprang out from behind the screen.
Jiang Chengjia was so frightened by the sudden figure that he took several steps back, almost hitting the pillar behind him, making a movement.
The shadow-eyed man quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, lifted the hood she was holding on her head, and covered her mouth firmly from behind.
The white gauze hat fell to the ground.
Jiang Chengjia struggled twice, hid on the instep of the black shadow with one foot, grabbed his shoulders with both hands and tried to suppress him. Who knew that this person snorted, did not compromise, he had great strength, reflexively and sensitively broke free from her restraints, and raised his leg to kick her lower abdomen. Jiang Chengjia saw his movements in the dark, and was shocked, and subconsciously protected his lower abdomen, but was exploited by this person. The shadow quickly grabbed her by the garment, grabbed her neck with his arm, and dragged her behind the screen.
Jiang Chengjia stretched out his foot and kicked twice, the whole person couldn't breathe, stared at a pair of eyes and tried to breathe, and kept struggling.
The man pushed her down on a soft velvet cushion, clamped her arms tightly, and clamped her moving legs with his legs, as if he felt something, he was surprised, and sneered: "It's a girl? ”
As soon as this person spoke, Jiang Chengjia immediately knew who he was.
She was startled, and struggled harder. Helplessly, she was locked in her throat and arms, and she had already exposed her weakness to the other party at the beginning, and even if she wanted to escape at this moment, it was very difficult.
"Let me see who you are?" The man whispered again, then imprisoned her arms and quickly pinned her down.
By the moonlight, the two saw each other's faces clearly.
At this moment, the person who firmly restrained her was Song Zong, who was imprisoned by Duan Congyu to the forbidden room.
And when Song Zong saw the true appearance of the person who was pressed under him, he was stunned.
Jiang Chengjia took advantage of this moment to raise her foot and kick at Song Zong's crotch, seeing that he was in pain, she was about to shout, she immediately turned over and pressed him and covered his mouth.
