Anu was blocked in the alley but heard the other party ask her to help save people back, I thought it was a thief, but the other party turned out to be someone sent from Chang'an, this sudden turn of events made her not know what to do for a while.

"No, it's impossible, you can't save it," Anu muttered to himself, but the man didn't care when he heard this, but said that as long as you help him, it will be fine.

"Assistance?" Anu shook her head, the outsiders of the mansion didn't know that she knew very well: it wasn't a question of whether to help or not, but whether it was feasible or not.

No matter who it is, what 'authority' must be followed in and out of each area of the mansion, the servants of the outer courtyard are not qualified to enter the inner courtyard, and at the same time, the servants of the inner courtyard are not allowed to go to the outer courtyard without reason, except for the lord of Lang Yuwen and the female dependents, there are only three people who can pass unhindered and go alone: Lord Lang's henchman and servant Yuwen fifteen, housekeeper Li Sanjiu, and inner court steward Liu Caiyun.

But it was limited to them alone, and if someone came in, there would be a healthy woman with them, and the inner courtyard would be like a thunder pond that would not allow idlers to take half a step.

Even Lord Lang's attendant and guard Zhang Yu had to be guided in and out of the inner courtyard, and the head of the guard, Zhang Dingfa, was no exception, this is nothing, after all, the rules of the Sui State Mansion are similar, and the most troublesome thing is that anyone who goes out has to register.

The servants of the outer courtyard must have the approval of the steward if they want to go out, and the inner courtyard must also add the approval of the housekeeper, and then when they go out, they must register the time of going out, where they are going, what they do, and when they are expected to come back.

This is not a place where you can pass unimpeded with a token, in the palace back then, as the empress/queen mother's confidant female official, she could enter and exit the palace so freely, but not in this Xiyang County Mansion, even if it was Mrs. Wei Chi's personal maid Cuiyun.

That guy took advantage of the loophole and kidnapped the Queen Mother Yang Lihua from the palace, so his own mansion must be guarded against!

"Miss Anu. Just put your mind to it. Nothing is impossible. The man looked at her with a smirk. I'm waiting for enough to get this done. ”

"You guys." Anu seemed to remember something, and then squatted down, the man was strange when he saw this, and was about to ask, when suddenly the sound of breaking the air sounded, and an arrow was nailed to his eyebrows.

The other three men were shocked when they saw this, and before they could react, they saw several people on both sides of the alley, dressed uniformly, some armed with wooden clubs, others with knives and shields, and some people with crossbows on one wall staring at them.

"Rush!" He was about to fight desperately but was shot by a crossbow arrow, and these people didn't seem to have any intention of hand-to-hand combat in the first place, and only rushed up when they fell to the ground.

Someone stepped forward to help the maid who had fainted to the ground, and another stepped forward to ask Anu if he was okay, Anu got up and shook his head to indicate that he was okay, and someone put the basket that fell to the ground with the contents and the turtle and carried it over.

"Sister Anu, you haven't sent a signal just now, but I was scared half to death."

"I just want to know who they are."

"Ouch, feed my good sister. If you don't do what you say in advance, if something goes wrong, I can't afford to wait for it. ”

Anu smiled apologetically, she caught a glimpse of someone picking up the token on the ground and just wanted to open his mouth but silently took the basket in the hands of the person next to him.

This is a pre-designed trap, a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches in the back, since the guards in the mansion noticed that someone was snooping on them a few years ago, they noticed this group of people, and they began to be vigilant after hearing the other party knocking on the side to inquire about the situation in the house, especially after staring at her.

I thought it was Tian Yuansheng and the others' subordinates, but after the rebellion on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve and the subsequent large-scale arrest, the other party was still watching her, so the government took countermeasures, and today she went out as bait.

The walking routes are all prescribed, and several alleys along the way are not suitable for ambushes, and people are arranged to squat or stand in various forms, anyway, it makes people feel bad to 'do it', but this alley is deliberately left and waiting for the other party to take the bait, as a result, these 'praying mantises' really hijacked her in.

I didn't expect it to be someone sent by the Sui State Mansion in Chang'an, and this change made her forget to send a signal. Anu always thought that these people were thieves who robbed homes or minions of Yu Wenwen's enemies.

Anu was thinking about what to do, but her behavior was a little strange, and Yu Wenwen knew about it, and then learned the identities of those people and saw the token, would it be bad for Lord Lang?

She didn't care about her life and death, she was just worried about Yang Lihua's mother and daughter. If Yu Wenwen learned that Sui Guogong sent someone to save his daughter and granddaughter, he would definitely investigate to the end, and he would definitely find out who leaked the whereabouts of the two.

Anu has not leaked it, so there are only two possibilities: one is the clue found by Sui Guogong himself, and the other is that Yang Lihua found a way to spread it. Anu hoped that it was the former possibility, not the latter, otherwise the mother and daughter would have a hard time in the future.

"Hurry up, hurry up and tie it up and take it away, and stop the bleeding first if you don't lose your breath." The guards quickly 'packed' the four men alive and dead, and the maid who followed Anu was also rescued and left with the army in shock.

Not long after coming out of the street, he was stopped by the patrol team who rushed to the street, and the other party heard that there was movement in the alley, so he came to check, and the guards explained their identities and walked to the state government with the accompanying party.

According to the rules of assassinating Shi Yu Wenwen, no matter who catches a thief in the city, he must be brought to the state government to deal with it, and he is not allowed to dispose of it privately for any reason, otherwise it will be regarded as kidnapping.

Pedestrians on the street suddenly ran towards the bulletin board at the corner of the street, and the guards did not join in the excitement when they 'did things' according to the regulations, and walked by without squinting, and when they passed the bulletin board, Anu heard someone read aloud and explained the contents of the above to everyone.

"Jiangnan has sent someone to pick up the body of King Shixing!"

"Send someone? How many people were sent? It can't be thousands, right? ”

"Thousands? Even if they are not afraid of tens of thousands, Yuwen Envoy Jun will definitely be able to beat them to the ground! ”

"Don't make a fuss, I sent an envoy over, the state government has already packed the body in a coffin and is waiting to take the apology and hand it over."

Someone asked what the reparation was, and another person sneered and said that Chen Shuling tossed Xiyang City on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Chen official family, who has now ascended the throne, must pay some money for his brother's trouble.

Everyone was discussing, and there was a servant who took a new notice and pasted it in a hurry, and some of the literate looked at it and exclaimed, and when the others saw this, they asked what was the matter, and the person looked at it all over the court before he said loudly:

"Prime Minister Yang of Chang'an is no longer an official prime minister!"

The people of Jiangnan are still accustomed to calling the emperor an official according to the practice of the Southern Dynasties, and everyone is interested in asking if it is a false rumor, so didn't Yang Chengxiang of Chang'an say that Yuwen was a traitor, why did he become a traitor himself.

"It's not a rumor, this is the news from Anzhou, it is said that it was inquired about the boundary of Yuzhou north of Tongbai Mountain!" The official explained loudly, "The same news came from the merchant travelers who went down the river in Shu yesterday. ”

"The Yang thief drove his grandson emperor away and usurped the throne and became the emperor himself, and changed the name of the country to 'Sui'!" ……

In a private house, the chief was talking to the head of the household in the courtyard, and there were several officials standing behind him, and their group went door to door to interrogate in order to find out if there were any suspicious characters, and according to the announcement of the state government, the law and order should be rectified, so each household must not tolerate strangers, and if it is their own relatives and friends, they must also register truthfully.

The chief asked the head of the household why he didn't see the only son if he was sick and not well, the head of the household nodded vigorously when he heard the words, and the chief said that the government had a requirement to see people during the interrogation, and he had to walk around the house, and it was okay for your son to be locked in the room and not come out.

"Lao Li, it's not the same as before, what the government says must be done, you don't let your son come out, I won't have anything when I go into the room, right?"

The head of the household said with a bitter face that his son's disease seemed to be tuberculosis, and he was afraid of infecting everyone, and everyone was so frightened that they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Glancing at the door, the lieutenant and the officials exchanged glances, and then said to the head of the household with a dry cough: "Lao Li, this disease is not allowed to wander around, and I will treat it as if I have gone in today." ”

The group fled away from the courtyard, the head of the household wiped the sweat on his forehead and closed the courtyard door, he came to the front of the house, knocked lightly on the door, heard the answer inside, and then pushed the door in.

"You're doing a good job, as long as you're obedient, the family will be fine." A man in the room looked at him and said, the man had a rosacea on his face very obviously, and there were several other men in the corner silently putting away the knife in his hand.

A young man was sitting beside them, and when he saw that the head of the household wanted to say something but did not dare to speak, the head of the household, after listening to some of the instructions of the rosacea, glanced at the young man and left, and at the moment when he opened the door, suddenly several things flew in.

Before the people in the room could react, those things suddenly spewed smoke and made a loud noise, and in an instant, the room was full of choking smell, making everyone cry and cover their ears involuntarily, at this moment, several people wearing masks appeared at the door, pushed the head of the household to the side, first raised his hand and shot a crossbow arrow, and then drew his knife and rushed in.

Caught off guard, many men in the room were cut down, but two of them quickly smashed through the window and rolled out, and several people waiting in the courtyard threw white powder to paste their faces.

The two covered their eyes in pain, rolled on the ground, were hugged and tied up, and the rest rushed into the room, only to hear a burst of chickens and dogs jumping, and several people were tied up and walked out, and the young man was taken out of the house, and saw the head of the household crying and screaming and threw himself into his arms.

The courtyard door was opened, and the lieutenant and the officials who had been checked before went and returned, and they were all relieved to see that the overall situation had been decided: "Lao Li, this is a strong man specially sent by Yuwen to save people, thank you so much." ”

A man saw that the father and son were full of gratitude and wanted to bow, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, saying that he did not dare to do it, and after saying some words of relief, he ordered his men to escort the captured people away.

"Leader Zhang has good skills, these thieves are so hateful, they have occupied Lao Li's family for several months!" The lieutenant walked up to the man and said respectfully,

"Captain Zhang, there are a few people who follow me and wait for the thieves to go to the state government to be a witness." Zhang Dingfa said with a smile on his face, "Thanks to your sharp eyes for noticing that something is wrong here, Yuwen Envoy Jun will definitely be rewarded!" ”

Walking out of the door, there were already several men with bows, crossbows, swords, and shields outside, and when the group was about to leave, someone ran up to report it: "Chief, it's also caught over there!" ”

"Okay, you're busy today!" (To be continued.) )
