Gong Ren took out a blacklist from his bosom, which was provided by Deng 'Yu'lin', which contained the names, official positions, addresses, and simple topographical maps of the houses of various corrupt officials in Wuchang and Hankou.

Gong Ren introduced Tang Qingying one by one, Tang Qingying listened patiently for a while, and the more she listened, the more impatient she became, and she waved her hand and said, "Whoever you want to start with, just say it, don't be so wordy." ”

Gong Ren said: "It's okay, let's start with the officials who are more lax in defense." But I have two chapters of the covenant! Tang Qingying glared at Gong Ren suspiciously, and said, "There are two chapters of the law for stealing, what is the law?" When the time comes, rob when you should rob, kill when you should kill, how can there be such rules to deal with these corrupt officials and corrupt officials? ”

Gong Ren shook his head and said: "This can't be done, the date of the uprising will not be far away, in order not to stab the 'agitation' of the Qing government, everything has to be carried out quietly." The two chapters of this covenant are: one is that it is not allowed to kill unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

As soon as she heard that she was not allowed to kill, Tang Qingying's head shook like a 'wave' drum, and ridiculed: "Do you think that the dogs raised by those corrupt officials are so kind, if you don't kill them when the time comes, they will kill you." ”

Gongren said: "What I said is the last resort, you have to control it well, this is set by the Communist Association, and you must abide by it." I estimate that as long as there is no murder, the stolen money is stolen, and the corrupt officials will report it to the officials. The second rule is that only gold, silver, jewelry, silver dollars, copper dollars, and all kinds of paper money are not silver. Tang Qingying nodded and said: "I understand this, if you want a silver ticket, you have to exchange it, and as soon as you exchange it, it will be exposed." ”

Gong Ren said: "In addition, Deng 'Yu'lin also asked me to ask you how many people you plan to have, and we will cooperate with each other." Tang Qingying thought about it for a moment and said: "This is not to lead troops to fight, what do you want so many people to do, not only will you not be able to help when the time comes, but you will also get in the way." I think we'll just do it! When the time comes, I'll go in and get it, and you can just answer it outside. Gong Ren said, "Okay, that's it." ”

Just do it, around three o'clock that night, the two of them quietly got up 'bed' and put on the prepared black 'color' shorts and shorts' and soft-soled shoes. Tang Qingying pinned her bright scimitar, and Gong Ren filled a brand-new German barge gun with bullets and pinned it to his waist.

Gong Ren glanced at Tang Qingying and felt that her face was too white, so he went to the stove house, 'touched' a handful of pot ashes, smeared them on her face, and wiped them on his own face. Tang Qingying ridiculed him and said, "I think you are still 'quite 'good' at it, have you done it before?" Gong Ren had no choice but to say: "I have done it, I have done it, I have done it in my dreams, and I have read it in it." The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and they both felt that the other party was really the same as the black-headed ghost in the small temple, and they couldn't help but laugh at each other again.

The two quietly left the hospital, covered the 'door', and glanced at the street, which was different from the Hankou Concession, there were no street lights, the lights were blind everywhere, the shops had long been closed, the residents had already fallen asleep, and there was a deathly silence everywhere. Only the watchmen in the distance carried lanterns and knocked on the bangzi, like ghosts, slowly wandering, making the night in Wuchang more 'gloomy' and quiet.

The two of them walked quickly towards the target according to the points they had stepped on during the day. Tang Qingying has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, her kung fu is extraordinary, and she wears soft-soled cloth shoes, and she walks almost silently. Although Gong Ren accelerated his pace, it was not easy to keep up with Tang Qingying, and in the end he had to trot, causing Tang Qingying to turn around and poke Gong Ren several times, which meant that the footsteps of "quack" were too harsh.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the wall of a courtyard that was two people high, and stopped to listen, but there was no unusual movement nearby. Tang Qingying patted Gong Ren lightly, meaning that I was going to go, and Gong Ren nodded gently. Tang Qingying took a few steps back, lucked her luck, and then ran a few steps, and with the help of inertia, she kicked on the wall with her two feet. She stood at the head of the wall, pricked up her ears into the courtyard and listened for a moment, then jumped in softly.

Gong Ren pulled out his barge gun and stood nervously outside the wall. In a short time, a man staggered from a distance, like a drunken man, staggered to the bottom of the high wall, and fell down with a thud, and could no longer get up.

He was so anxious that he saw that the drunkard was already lying on the ground and fell asleep. Gong Ren kicked him twice, and he got up in a daze, shouting in a daze: "Who! Then he fell down and fell asleep. Angry, Gong Ren dragged him by the arm, dragged him a long way like a dead dog, and threw him into a garbage heap before relieving his heart.

After a while, the situation came again, and two young students, a man and a woman, came to the bottom of the wall, and when they saw that there was no one here, they became intimate.

Gong Ren waited patiently for a while, but instead of leaving, they became more and more presumptuous. Gong Ren really couldn't help it, so he pretended to be a drunk, covered his face crookedly, scolded and scolded along the way, came to the two of them, and tilted towards them. The two young men were frightened, and quickly got up and left. Wherever they went, Gong Ren followed them until they were driven away.

After a while, a small pebble was thrown from the side of the wall, and with a "pop", it hit the ground. Gong Ren also picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it gently. Gong Ren looked up, and it seemed that a black thing was thrown over from there, and Gong Ren took it easily, yo! It's so heavy-smashed Gong Ren bent down, and then Tang Qingying also gently fell to Gong Ren. She patted her husband lightly and hurried back the way she came.

Gong Ren carried a small burden and nervously followed Tang Qingying, through the streets, through the alleys, until he reached the bookstore.

After entering the bookstore and closing the big 'door', Gong Ren breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that he was already sweating wet. When I entered the inner room, I lit the oil lamp, and when I saw Tang Qingying, who was as white as black charcoal, she was also sweating profusely and panting. Gongren hurriedly made a basin of water, let Tang Qingying wash her face, and quickly poured a bowl of water, watching her "goo dong", "goo dong" drank it, and then let her sit on the 'bed' to rest.

Gong Ren eagerly opened the burden under the oil lamp. Heh - in the heavy burden, gold ingots, pearl necklaces, silver dollars, copper dollars, everything, happy Gong Ren's heart like a 'flower'.

Tang Qingying grabbed the most valuable pearl necklace from her baggage and turned her head to leave, Gong Ren grabbed her and said, "Let's see if it's okay, if you want to!" Tang Qingying frowned and said, "Why? I've put so much effort into it, can't I leave myself a little dowry? ”

Gong Ren said: "No, these properties are all revolutionary funds, and we have no power to move." Tang Qingying said: "You are so dead-eyed, who knows how many things are in the baggage?" Gong Ren said sharply: "That's not good, it's all a conscience deal, why do you have to rely on your conscience." Sun Wu and Deng 'Yu'lin are so poor that they are almost bare-bottomed, how can we use these precious funds again? ”

Tang Qingying sat on the 'bed' and sulked.

Gongren saw that Tang Qingying was not easy, and his heart was a little painful, so he went up and coaxed her and said, "Okay, okay, when I get paid, I will definitely buy you the best and best pearl necklace." Tang Qingying pouted and said, "When you get paid, you don't know what life you will have." Besides, even if you are paid, can you afford a pearl necklace? I don't believe it! ”

Gong Ren said: "If you don't believe it, I'll fool others to go." Tang Qingying was so angry that he slammed his fist on Gong Ren's body, and he got into Gong Ren's arms as he slammed it.

Gong Ren pushed her away, not wanting to dwell on the topic anymore, so he diverted the topic and said, "When you get something, it goes well, right?" Tang Qingying was happy when she heard this, and said happily: "I opened the 'door' latch and entered the house, very simply, it was to point vigorously towards the person who was panting." ”

Gong Ren was shocked and asked, "Don't kill everyone." Tang Qingying said: "How can it, this 'acupoint' I ordered is called the 'acupoint' of the hour, I can't speak within an hour, I can't move, and after an hour, it will slowly dissolve." ”

Gong Ren breathed a long sigh of relief, and asked again: "Can't you teach me, how do you point out this 'acupoint' path?" Tang Qingying was happy, nodded his nose and said: "You have a little bit of kung fu, if you can't learn it, you are only worthy of taking a burden outside the wall, putting a sentry or something." Gong Ren shook his head and said mischievously: "Am I really so incompetent? ”

Tang Qingying said: "That's Ao---I have been doing it all these years, I still don't know what you are capable of?" ”

Since then, Gong Ren and Tang Qingying have slept during the day and gone out at night. It was relatively smooth to come up first, and the big burden and small burden 'got a lot of things' back, but later, the public security in Wuchang City gradually became tense, and there were rumors on the street that Jiangyang thieves had come out of the city to rob corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

The legendary Jiangyang thieves do not kill people, but they also make people half dead, they fly the eaves and walk the wall, with peerless martial arts, come without a trace, go without a trace, and the gods are haunted, and the rich people are frightened and the flesh jumps, and the people applaud. The officials increased the number of guards and nurses, and police patrols were also increased on the streets.

On this day, Gong Ren said to Tang Qingying: "I discussed with Deng 'Yu' Lin, we should wash our hands in the golden basin, and then continue to work, we have to do something." Tonight, let's just sleep peacefully, let's not go. Tang Qingying said: "That's not good, don't you say you won't go if you don't go, it lures out my gluttony, and I can't stop the car." If you don't work all night, your hands will itch and feel uncomfortable. ”

Gong Ren glared at her and said, "Why are you like a child, you are so old, and you don't have a lot of popularity." Do you think this is a play house, how many people are afraid of us! How many people are calculating us! Besides, this stealing is not a fair and honest thing, it was forced to do so, and there was no way to make this decision. Anyway, I can't go tonight. ”

Tang Qingying looked at Gong Ren with a begging gaze and said, "Just let me do it again, after doing it this time, we won't do it again next time." The male stiffened his face and said with an adult's mouth: "No! Children have to listen to adults. Tang Qingying continued to plead and said, "Let me do it again!" Let me do it again! And kept pulling Gong Ren's arm and dangling it.

Gong Ren couldn't resist her, and came to a loving heart, and said helplessly: "Say that you are a child, you can do the things of adults, say that you are an adult, you are still a child's heart, but what should I do?" Well, just this once, I said it was just this one. Which one are you going to greet tonight? ”

Tang Qingying pursed her lips and gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, it's the last time, so I'll start with that old boy from Ruizheng." Gong Ren was taken aback and said, "Little child's house, it's really a fierce son in the washbasin - I don't know the depth, is the Governor's place for you to go casually?" The tiger's butt can't be 'touched'. Tang Qingying said without fear: "For so many days, you have seen when I have lost my hand." It's a big fish, and there are several, or dozens, of them at a time. ”

Gong Ren thought about it and said, "Let's bring a few more people, right?" Tang Qingying pouted again and said: "I also want to bring a few helpers, but look at those who are soldiers, which one is an expert in picking the 'door' and breaking the lock, and it is also eye-catching if there are too many people." I've also seen Ruizheng's house, such a high courtyard wall, there is barbed wire on the courtyard wall, and there must be a lot of secret tunnels in it. When the time comes, they won't be able to help me, and I'll help them again, isn't that a burden. ”

Gong Ren thought about it, nodded and said, "Let's do it." ”

In order to make the operation go smoothly, the two of them made 'fine' preparations, and one of them ate five 'chicken' eggs, which not only ensured sufficient physical strength and nutrition, but also avoided gaining weight. Tang Qingying didn't bring a pistol to do this work in the past, and at this time, Gong Ren also handed her a small pistol full of bullets and said, "This time it's special, bring it." ”

Tang Qingying nodded silently and pinned the gun. The two of them walked out of the bookstore, and five or six dark shadows flashed in the Tongxing Restaurant opposite, quietly following behind.

Tang Qingying was taken aback and whispered to Gong Ren, "What are these people doing?" Gong Ren lowered his voice and said, "My own people, they just follow from a distance, and they don't get in the way of our business." Tang Qingying no longer objected at this time.

At this time, the sky is dark for a while, and the streets are dark, and then the clouds are open and the moon is 'dew', and the streets are shining. Fortunately, in the middle of the night, there were no idlers on the streets, and from time to time there was a team of police patrolling, and after a while, another team of patrols came to join in the fun. The two men quietly avoided them, walked through the streets and alleys, and after a while, came to the 'gate' of the Governor's Office.

The two of them saw that there was a row of lanterns illuminated at the entrance of the 'gate' of the Governor's Office, and there were 12 Qing soldiers standing guard with rifles under the lanterns, and it must have been very difficult to enter from here. The two of them had to go around to the back of the superintendent's office, although it was slightly looser than the front 'door', but it was also a bright lantern, and there were 8 Qing soldiers standing guard, and it was indeed not easy to enter.

The two of them had to go around to the side again, the courtyard wall here was nearly two and a half people high, and there was a barbed wire fence on the wall, and in a short time there was a group of Qing soldiers patrolling along the wall, and after a while, another police came, and it was obvious that they had already strengthened their guard against the Inspectorate.

Gong Ren had a difficult face, and whispered to Tang Qingying: "This is really the Longtan Tiger's 'den', let's not go in." Tang Qingying was not afraid at all, she smashed Gong Ren with her elbow, and encouraged Gong Ren and said, "Don't be afraid, they are strong on the outside, and they are nothing remarkable." Tang Qingying spotted the gap between the two teams of patrols, ran a few steps, kicked the wall twice, grabbed the wall at once, and stuck it on the wall. She looked into the courtyard for a long time before a harrier rolled over and landed softly into the courtyard.

Tang Qingying saw that the courtyard was empty and bright, and a lantern was lit not far away, so it was not easy to hide. Tang Qingying performed light skills, quietly went to the roof, and when she met the Qing soldiers patrolling underneath, she lay on the roof, held her breath, and waited quietly, and when the Qing soldiers walked over, she stepped on the roof tiles, walked lightly, and ran quickly to the backyard.

According to her experience, she found a luxurious deep house compound, and she didn't go to the main 'door' of the north house, because it was the main house, which was usually the living room, and she didn't go to the east house, because it was a partial house, only the north house was partial to the 'door' and the west house, and under normal circumstances, it was the bedroom of the lord and his wife, which was the most likely place to hide gold, silver and jewelry.

Tang Qingying thought about it, then let's go to the Westinghouse first. Tang Qingying quietly got out of the room, and looked around the courtyard again, under the faint moonlight, the courtyard was quiet, and there was no one. Tang Qingying silently arrived at the 'door' of the West House, pulled out her scimitar, quietly opened the 'door' latch, and wrung some water into the 'door' pivot from the wet 'hair' towel she brought with her, and opened the 'door' of the house without a sound.

She stabilized a little, adapted to the environment in the room, through the meager moonlight that 'shot' from the window, she saw that there seemed to be a person lying on the 'bed', Tang Qingying held her breath, and quietly passed, holding a knife in her left hand, and her right hand was towards his 'acupoint'.

When he said it, it was fast, and the man hit a carp 'Ting', and a white light flashed, and he stabbed at Tang Qingying. Tang Qingying flashed slowly, and there was still a slap on her right arm, and blood splattered suddenly. Tang Qingying was taken aback, and subconsciously took two steps back, the person had already stood in front of Tang Qingying, and the white light flashed towards Tang Qingying for a while.

Tang Qingying dodged left and right, resisting with a scimitar, only to feel that the man's knife skills were sharp, the knife did not leave his throat and 'chest', every move was fatal, if it weren't for his agility, he would have died in Huangquan. Not good! This is to meet a master, Tang Qingying hurriedly retreated, the man chased after him, and kept stabbing at Tang Qingying.

Tang Qingying parried, puffed up her 'spirit', and slashed at the man with three knives, and these three knives were also 'strong' fast, which frightened the man by two steps back. Tang Qingying hurriedly turned back, performed light skills, first went to the wall, and then went to the room, it was important to escape.

The two of them collided with each other for a while, and the jingle 'chaos' sounded, which woke up the guards who had already woken up the housekeepers, and they lit lanterns and torches one after another, and stumbled out of the house, shouting and shouting: "Catch the assassins-" "Catch the robbers-" Thanks to Tang Qingying's strong martial arts, she endured the pain, followed the way, and walked quickly on the roof. Those Qing soldiers couldn't get into the room under the house, and they couldn't see people, they just 'messed around'.

Tang Qingying looked at the place where she was about to arrive, and jumped to the flat ground with a "whoosh" from the roof, and suddenly dozens of Qing soldiers came up from the front and back, left and right, Tang Qingying pulled out a pistol, endured the pain and shot continuously, killing a bloody road, stepping on the wall bricks, jumping over the barbed wire, and turning over.

Hearing the voices of people in the courtyard, the 'chaos' became a pot of porridge, and the public knew that it was not good, and it must have been 'exposed', so he was so anxious that the six gods had no owner, and cold sweat broke out. After a while, I saw a person fall from the wall and sit on the ground, and it was already a little difficult to stand up.

Gong Ren hurriedly pulled her up, picked her up and ran. The master inside the wall also climbed down the wall, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers ran over to him, tightly surrounding Gong Ren and Tang Qingying in the middle.

Gong Ren thought badly, took out his barge gun, and "toot to......o" at the Qing soldiers for a while, twenty bullets were swept away, and the Qing soldiers were knocked down by four or five. The rest of them surrounded again, and shot at Gong Ren and Tang Qingying, causing the two of them to hurriedly lie behind a tree.

At this time, the master in the back shot again, and another shot hit Tang Qingying's 'leg'. Tang Qingying had no choice but to turn over and shoot in the back, suppressing the master behind him. Gong Ren complained again and again in his heart, this is really a blockade in the front, and a chasing soldier in the back, no matter how sinister. But at this time, there was no other way but to put another magazine into the gun.

Tang Qingying saw that the two of them were in a desperate situation, and said to Gong Ren in a low voice: "I see that I can't get out, I will cover you, you rush out!" Gong Ren glared at her fiercely and said, "Nonsense, if you want to rush out, it should be you!" Get ready to rush. ”

Gong Ren saw that the Qing soldiers were getting closer and closer, and it was only four or five meters, so he suddenly jumped up and shot at the Qing soldiers for a while, knocking down three or four, and the Qing soldiers dodged the bullets one after another. Gong Ren took advantage of this kung fu and pulled Tang Qingying, who was jumping and jumping, to rush forward, and after running two steps, he got into an alley.

The group of soldiers shouted, "Catch the thief," "Catch the assassin," and chase after them. Because Gong Ren dragged the injured Tang Qingying, he ran slower and slower, and ran slower and slower, and he was about to be caught up by this group of Qing soldiers.

Suddenly, a group of people came out of nowhere and "crackled" at those Qing soldiers with a burst of short guns, blocking the group of Qing soldiers. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gong Ren carried Tang Qingying and hurriedly ran again, running for a while, Gong Ren felt that the Qing Hou behind him had caught up again, and it seemed that the comrades who blocked the enemy had all been sacrificed.

Gong Ren felt that Tang Qingying's body was getting heavier and heavier, and he pulled her to run slower and slower, only to be so tired that she was out of breath, and she had no strength in her body. At this time, the entire Wuchang City began to 'chaos', and Gong Ren felt that countless Qing soldiers had begun to move here, and the longer it was, the more unfavorable it would be to himself.

The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and Gong Ren swung his gun and shot it back, firing two shots, and there were no more bullets in the gun. If you want to put bullets in the gun again, where is the time.

Gong Ren felt that there was really nowhere to run at this moment, and sighed to Tang Qingying and said, "Xiao Qingying, Xiao Qingying, the two of us are really dying together at this moment." Xiao Qingying said stubbornly at this time: "Dear father, leave me alone, you run." Gong Ren said: "Silly boy, what a stupid thing to say." Gong Ren couldn't run anymore, just panting with his big mouth open, hugging Xiao Qingying tightly, quietly waiting for death to come.

At this critical moment, a crisp burst of gunfire suddenly came, and a group of people rushed over and stopped the pursuing Qing army with 'chaotic' guns.

There was a person who came up and ran away with Gong Ren and Tang Qingying, although this person was small, but he was quite powerful, and encouraged Gong Ren while running: "Don't worry, don't worry, what about us?" Gong Ren heard this voice a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who was coming for a while, so he asked, "Who are you?" The man ran and said, "I'm Liu Fuji." Gong Ren was shocked and asked, "How do you know that we are here?" Liu Fuji said: "Half of Wuchang City has been fighting, we still don't know." ”

He ran forward quickly with Gong Ren and Tang Qingying, and some comrades from the literary club behind him were 'crossing' to cover the retreat.
