Chapter 266: Killing the Wrong Person
Just after the child, Lao Liu and Boss Chen set off from their homes to the south 'gate', which is still a little distance, because the wind and 'waves' of the boycott have just ended, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp have not completely withdrawn, and there are still officers and soldiers patrolling the street, so the two of them also climbed the house, crossed the wall, crossed the streets and alleys, and it took almost an hour to come to the 100 houses
The two of them watched outside for a while, but found no movement inside, and then climbed over the wall, which was a courtyard house, and inside there was a horse tethered to the stable, and nothing else was out of the ordinary
It's just four main rooms, plus wings on both sides, I don't know if this person will live there at night
"Lao Chen, you are an old Jianghu, you said that this person would sleep in that room," Lao Liu asked Boss Chen in a low voice
"Brother Liu, I think this person must live in the inner room of the main house, we have to go to the main hall first, and then we can go to the inner room, which is usually four inner rooms, but we don't know which room the person is sleeping in."
"Okay, then let's go to the main hall."
The two of them tiptoed to the outside of the main hall 'door', Boss Chen first tentatively pushed the 'door' from the inside, but at that time the 'door' was a 'door' bolt, Boss Chen 'touched' out the dagger and 'inserted' into the crack of the 'door', gently stirring it inside, and after a while, only to hear the sound of gurgling from inside, Boss Chen knew that the 'door' bolt inside was opened, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the 'door' inside, and slowly pushed it open
The two of them flashed into the house, because it was very dark, they could only 'grope' and walk inside, and suddenly Lao Liu stopped, and Boss Chen, who was walking behind, suddenly crashed into Lao Liu, but fortunately did not knock down
Lao Liu and Boss Chen didn't move, they stood there and stopped for a while, waiting for their eyes to get used to the darkness in the room and could see the 'door' clearly, when Lao Liu touched it, Lao Chen took his hand and walked to the 'door' on the left, and when they arrived at the 'door', the two people stopped, and heard a soft snoring sound from the house, Lao Liu took Boss Chen's hand, meaning to tell him that this should be where the hundred households lived
After listening to it for a while, the snoring inside was very stable, Boss Chen pulled Lao Liu behind him, came to the 'door' and pushed the 'door', this time it was okay, and it was pushed open by Boss Chen all of a sudden, but the 'door' made a squeak, and the snoring in the house was immediately heard, and the two of them didn't move, because they didn't know the situation in this hundred households, if there was someone outside, if this person noticed a shout and blocked people from the outside, it would be troublesome
The snoring in the house paused for a while, and then it sounded again, Lao Liu and Boss Chen crept into the house, Boss Chen came to the man's kang head, through the dim light from the window, found the man's heart, and stabbed it down, Boss Chen's other hand pressed the man's mouth at the same time, the man just snorted and didn't move, to see if the person was dead, Boss Chen pulled out the dagger, wiped it on the quilt, and gently went out of the house with Lao Liu, and took the big 'door' and locked it from the outside
The two of them returned to the 'jade' alley as before, and returned to the living room from the backyard, the lantern in the living room was still on, and Boss Chen picked up the teapot and drank a few sips of herbal tea and said: "Brother Liu went so well this time, and the hundred families didn't even find a guard."
"Lao Chen, I always feel that something is wrong, is it that we killed the wrong person"
"How come, Brother Liu, don't worry, you must kill those hundred households"
"Think about it, those hundred households are also people with some status, and they should start a family according to their age, why didn't they find out that his wife slept with him?"
"Yes, Brother Liu, you're right to say that, or let's go back and have a look."
"Forget it, what time will it be when I go back now, and it will be dawn wherever I go, so let's not tell the young master that I will go around early tomorrow morning to have a look, and by the way, inquire about what the situation is in the hundred households, we killed someone, they will definitely report to the official, and then we will know who died."
Just when the two of them were discussing whether to kill the wrong person or not, in the underground secret room, Zhang Guifei and I had just experienced two high 'tides' of death and life, Zhang Guifei was already lying in my arms, sleeping deeply, I was still thinking about whether the two of them came back, for the kung fu and experience of the two of them, I have no doubt at all, there are at most three or four guards in a hundred households, even if they are discovered, the two of them can also get out
I hugged the beauty Zhang Guifei in my arms again, because I snorted hard and continued to sleep, holding such a beauty, the guilt in my heart for Zihan also spontaneously felt sorry for her, but I thought about it again, the man at this time is not three wives and four concubines, the emperor still has so many concubines, as long as I treat her well in the future
In the midst of exhaustion and cranky thoughts, I fell into a deep sleep
It wasn't until Boss Chen opened the 'door' of the secret room and called me on the steps that I woke up from my sleep, and Zhang Guifei was lying in my arms, and she also opened her sleepy eyes, looked at me and said, "Brother Lan, it's time for you to get up."
I gently pulled out the hand holding Zhang Guifei from under Zhang Guifei, turned over, got off the bed, and got dressed
After getting dressed, he said to Zhang Guifei, who had been looking at me affectionately: "Xiaozhu, who will do it, I'll leave first, if you need anything, just tell Brother Chen, I'll ask him to come over later and bring you breakfast."
"It's okay, Brother Lan, you go, I'm not hungry, Brother Lan will come back early, Xiaozhu is waiting for you at home"
I turned around and waved at the concubine, stepped up the steps and walked out of the secret room
When I arrived at the study, Boss Chen was waiting for me, and I asked, "Brother Chen, you didn't go well last night, didn't you let go of a hundred households?"
"Young master, this last night, because we didn't have exact information, we got there, I don't know where the hundred families lived, and killed one, but after I came back, I discussed it with Brother Liu, and it felt a little wrong, so early in the morning, Brother Liu went over there to inquire about the news."
"This is no matter what your business is, and I am careless, it would be much better if I went to understand their situation today and then went in the evening, no matter what, anyway, the hundred households only knew the general meaning, and he didn't dare to report to the above until he had exact news, so we still have a chance, you two continue to inquire about it for the next few days, and then go and kill him when you have the opportunity."
"I also blame the two of us for not thinking so much," Boss Chen said reproachfully
"Brother Chen, it's okay, their spies have been caught by us, he just suspects that he didn't dare to report it until there is definite evidence, so we still have a chance to say it, Brother Liu, don't you go to find out where to go, maybe you killed the thousand households last night."
"It would be nice if that was the case, my old Chen rarely missed, if the second child came back after this miss, he wouldn't laugh at me to death"
"Brother Chen's work is not completely successful, occasional failure is unavoidable, besides, this matter is not a big deal, don't take it to heart, you go and prepare breakfast, I will marry the ya' after eating, and Miss Zhang's meal will be delivered later, let the sister-in-law go down to accompany her, she just wants to do the secret, can not be discovered and can not be told to others"
"Young master, don't worry, I'll arrange it for you right away, you go first, I'll arrange it all over Miss Zhang," Boss Chen said, and walked out of the study to the front yard for breakfast
I just ate half of it, Lao Liu walked in from outside, and he was still carrying a few bundles of vegetables in his hand, because there were still three tigers in the living room, Lao Liu said skillfully: "Young master, I went out to the vegetable market to take a look, today's vegetables are a lot cheaper, I bought some by the way, but it's still a little troublesome, maybe it's because of the cold weather, there are fewer vegetables," of course I understood that Lao Liu was hinting at me
"Okay, Steward Liu, it's hard work, let's eat first, don't be in a hurry to do some things slowly" "Young master, I ate a little outside, and when you eat, I have to ask you to see that winter is coming, and it is time to store some vegetables for the winter, I don't dare to make up my mind, so I still wait for the young master to eat and go to the study to make a list of the things I need to buy, so I can go out and purchase"
After eating, I went back to the study, Lao Liu then walked in, closed the 'door' and said: "The young master killed the wrong one, the hundred households didn't live at home at all, it was for him to look at the house, his cousin, young master, what do you say next?"
"How can this be, where do the hundred families live?"
"Young master, I have inquired clearly, but I haven't gone to the field to reconnoitre, it turns out that there are wives and children in those hundred households, because he goes to the Qinglou every day to earn some money, and he throws it at the prostitutes in the Qinglou." Female's body, so some time ago, the wife took the child back to her parents' house, this without the constraints of the wife, the hundred households are even more rampant, and they can't return at night, but they are afraid that the things at home will be stolen, so they asked his cousin to show him, and there are two family members at home, a husband and wife, and the slaves born to their families all live in the wing, if we go to observe in advance, there will be no such mistakes, all blame me for not being good," Lao Liu said guiltily
"Brother Liu, don't say that, when everyone makes mistakes, I have already told Brother Chen just now, you continue to reconnoiter and observe, and then you can do it again if you are sure, this person will definitely be more vigilant after this incident, and the difficulty of starting is already much greater, but you can't make a mistake, if it really doesn't work, you just go and stare at home, there is Brother Chen to watch for you for the time being."
"Young master, then I'll keep an eye on him all day, no matter how vigilant he is, I will definitely get him within two days, but there is still Boss Chen to get some 'fan' incense, this time I want to look at him first, and then I will confirm the death, and then I will leave, with the 'fan' incense, I can light the lamp to see if it is him, this time we just ate this black light blind fire, if we use the 'fan' incense, we will not kill innocents by mistake" "
