Last night, after the old man and Wang Jinhuai separated, the old man changed into night clothes, jumped out of the room through the window, climbed out of the courtyard wall of the inn, dodged several waves of patrolling soldiers, and walked through the alley to the back door of the governor's yamen.

The old man has not been idle in the past few days, and he always feels that behind Wang Jian's matter, it is not so simple, how can the governor come forward for such a trivial matter, Linqu Zhixian has always said that the governor has an order to detain Wang Jian. Therefore, except for the time spent with me and Wang Jinhuai at the inn, he has been wandering around the vicinity of the governor's yamen, and for several nights, he even entered the backyard of the mansion.

Yesterday afternoon, when the old man was in front of the governor's yamen, he found that Lu Ying, the governor of Linqu County, had arrived at the governor's yamen, and after entering, the old man waited until late and did not come back. The old man had been to Linqu and had seen Lu Ying, so he came to the governor's yamen at night to inquire about the news.

The old man arrived in the back alley of the governor's yamen, the former government mansion, the front yard was the office court, and the back yard was the place where the family lived. It's time for the Governor, and the Governor should be in the backyard.

The wall of the backyard was tall, more than a zhang high, the old man took out his flying claws, threw them to the wall, listened to no movement, and crawled over the wall a few times. Gently landed on the ground and retracted the flying claws. The place where the old man fell was a pond, the pond was not big, and opposite was a small two-story building, and the windows on the upper floor were still lit. At this time, it was half a moon, the moonlight was like day, the old man looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no movement, and cautiously followed the path by the pond, under the cover of the willows on both sides, to the small building.

Coming to the side of the small building, the old man tiptoed to the window, although the window was more than three feet high from the ground, but in the dead of night, the voice of the voice inside was still heard very clearly.

I only heard the voices of a few men above, and he didn't know who it was, but Lu Ying knew it, and he only heard this Lu Ying say: "Uncle Cousin, no one will know about this, even our relationship no one knows, your surname is Jiang and my surname is Lu, who would have thought that we are uncles and nephews." ”

I heard an old voice again: "This matter is very important, although Wang Jian came out and was a substitute for the dead ghost, but the case has not been solved, after you go back, find a few substitute ghosts, it doesn't matter if you spend more money, close the case, just say that Wang Jian instructed them to do it." I heard that Wang Jian has a master named ***, who used to be the foreman of the imperial guard when the emperor was there, and I came to the post a few days ago to see him, I didn't see him, this person is more troublesome, so you have to understand quickly. ”

"Uncle Cousin, don't worry, the little nephew has already arranged it, and if you can't do it, you can get to know him in prison." The one called Lu Ying just finished speaking.

Another unfamiliar voice came out and said: "This matter is not appropriate, although it is easy to understand in prison, but it is also the most suspicious, and Wang Jian has been in charge of the prison in the county, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no henchman of his own, if I understand him, I think it is still on the road, on the way from Linqu to Jinan, find a few masters to rob the prisoner car, take the opportunity to kill him, blame his master, just say that they came to rob the prisoner car, his master I have seen in the palace before, is a powerful stubble, take this opportunity to solve it together, this matter is related to the father-in-law's major matter, It's also about the future of the two adults, so you can't be sloppy. ”

The old man heard that the voice of the old man was Jiang Tingyi, the governor of Shandong, as for the one who said that he had seen himself, he must have come out of the palace, he was in the palace back then, and he had seen too many people, it was not strange for people to remember him, and it was impossible for him to remember so many people.

The voice of Governor Jiang Tingyi came again: "It's a good idea to intercept someone on the way, this matter will trouble my father-in-law to find a few masters, I will pay out the silver, Lu Ying, you have to arrange it when you go back, send a few useless servants to escort you, so as not to solve it when the time comes, your father-in-law's people, you can kill a few, the matter is big, the bigger the better, the father-in-law will also create some public opinion in the capital, so that it will be convenient to solve it together when the time comes." ”

The father-in-law then said: "Lord Jiang, this matter must be done, I still have to go to Zhejiang, I will leave tomorrow, and I will arrange for someone to find someone tonight." It's getting late, and I'm going to go tomorrow, so I'll go back and rest. ”

Then there was a sound of footsteps and a send-off greeting from the house. The old man was in the back, and he couldn't see the front, but the old man wanted to see what the father-in-law was like, and after Lu Ying and Jiang Tingyi returned to the house, the old man turned out of the back of the building, followed the path, and rushed to the direction where the father-in-law left in front.

The old man walked a dozen steps, and at first he could still see the shadow of the person, and after a few more steps, the shadow disappeared all of a sudden. The old man walked slowly along the bushes on the side of the road, and came to the place where his father-in-law disappeared, and the old man looked around, except for a few bushes, there were several large locust trees. The old man listened quietly, and heard the slight rustling of leaves in the wind.

The old man looked at the place a dozen steps ahead, and there was only a courtyard, and this person would not walk over so quickly, unless he went up the tree.

Thinking of this, the old man took two steps back, and just as the old man was retreating, a dark shadow pounced on the old man from the tree.

The old man greeted with both palms, and the palms of the person who came together, and then the person swept the old man with his legs in the air, the old man was also immersed in martial arts for decades, the actual combat experience was full, how could he be swept in, the old man slapped the man's calf back, the man changed his legs in the air, and his flexibility was greatly reduced, only to hear a sound, the man's calf was really slapped by the old man, fell to the ground, and screamed in pain. The old man followed, stepped forward and kicked the man with his foot, and when the man saw the old man kicking over, he didn't care about the pain in his legs, so he rolled on the spot, rolled under the big tree, and stood up with the big locust tree: "Who are you, dare to commit murder in the governor's yamen." ”

At this time, the fight here and the man's words have alarmed the family members who patrol the night, the old man saw a few people running here, and ignored the person's words, turned around and ran towards the courtyard wall, the old man thought, tonight's harvest is not a small road, to leave quickly, the governor's yamen is stationed with soldiers, if the soldiers in front of him come, it will not be so easy to go.

The old man walked quickly to the courtyard wall, the people on the small building here have come out, looking through the moonlight, there are five or six people, it seems that they are protecting Jiang Tingyi in the building, those few people are good, follow the old man closely, the nearest one is about five steps away from the old man, the old man saw that he accelerated his pace here, and he didn't care about using the flying claws when he ran to the courtyard wall, with the rapid momentum of running, the old man rubbed a few times on the wall, the closest to the old man, saw the old man on the wall, took out the dart and threw it over, As soon as the old man went up to the wall, it was when the center of gravity was unstable, and he was hit by a dart on his calf. The old man didn't care about the pain, so he pulled out the dart on his leg and threw it at the nearest person, only to hear that with an ouch, the man fell to the ground. The next few paused.

The old man endured the pain, jumped off the wall, and ran down the alley into the street.

The alarm bell had already sounded in the governor's yamen, and there were two or three masters behind him, who followed him over the wall and chased after him, but it was far away. The old man ran to the street, and saw the governor's yamen from afar, and a team of people had come out to rush here, the old man did not hesitate, ran dozens of steps to see a small alley, and entered the alley, fortunately, the dart on the leg was not deep, and it did not affect the speed of running. After passing through a few alleys, the pursuers behind were gone, but there were many more teams with lanterns and torches on the streets, and groups of three or five people patrolled the streets.
