Chapter 57 Night Detective
He listened for a while and there was no other movement, and the first target was to live in the direction of the warehouse.
There are two rows of large houses in the warehouse of Crouching Tiger Village, there are twenty rooms, and when Shi Qian sneaked closer, he found that there were sentry posts in front and back, but it may have been comfortable for many years, and the guards were not very dedicated, so Shi Qian easily jumped on the roof. The second row of ten large houses, full of grain, not to mention 60,000 or 70,000 stones, the first row of warehouses in addition to a few still grain, but there are many unexpected things, there are cloth, iron ingots, weapons, and even a storehouse of all kinds of armor, Crouching Tiger Village is really rich flowing oil. The time was carefully recorded, and then went to the Wujin compound in the middle of the Zhuangzi.
The five-entry compound is the core of Crouching Tiger Village, the strength of the defense is obviously greater than the periphery, the passage outside the wall, there are personnel who patrol regularly, and the time moves to observe in the dark for a while, and finds that every half of the pillar of incense has a team of personnel to come, and then take advantage of the gap to turn into the inner courtyard. The place where he settled seems to be a small garden, Shi Qian learned the lessons of the City God Temple, and carefully observed it from the flowers for a while, confirming that there was no other secret post except for a few people in the gatehouse, thinking about some strange There are so many patrols outside the wall, why the inner house is not defended.
The arrangement of this back garden is also very chic, rockery ponds, flowers and trees are readily available, and there are two two-story houses built on both sides of the garden, which seem to be the embroidery building of the female dependents. Shi Qian took advantage of the night to get up to the building on the right, and when he was approaching the main room on the second floor in the shadows, he suddenly heard the sound of walking downstairs. Suddenly startled, thinking that his whereabouts had been revealed, and before he had time to think about it, he hid himself on the beam above the corridor. At this moment, a young man in his twenties came up at the top of the staircase, and I saw him tiptoe to the door of the main room, listened attentively, and then knocked on the door a few times.
"Apricot, apricot is me." The young man shouted in a low voice.
"Oh, you guilty thief, tired old lady has been working hard all night, and said that she stole that woman again."
As he spoke, a crack opened in the door, revealing the figure of a young woman.
"In the first half of the night, I was called by my father to teach me a lesson, and when I went back to the house, I was entangled by my eldest sister, no, I finally got out and came to you."
The man said as he squeezed sideways into the door.
Then there was the sound of "Sasha" undressing, and the rapid gasps of men and women. It turned out to be a pair of dog men and women, and Shi Qian was about to leave, but he heard a few more words of conversation inside, and couldn't help but stop again.
"What did the dead old man do scolding you for?" The woman asked, gasping.
"Xing'er, you are also my Sanniang, how can you hate your father so much?" It turned out that the woman turned out to be the man's third mother.
"I can't wait for him to die, I want my brother to do wine trading in the county that day, how much money did he make for him, this dead old man was greedy for the wealth behind him, but he didn't care about his death, how can the old lady be willing."
It was the woman's words that reminded Shi Qian of something Zhu Gui had told him in the past, and he couldn't help but be curious, so he wiped a small hole in the papier-mâché window with saliva. But I saw that on the big Nanmu bed, the man had already held the woman's pair of white thighs in the longitudinal force, for a while the indoor meat was surging, the bed was moving, the woman could no longer care about scolding under the man, but the heart and liver baby couldn't stop screaming, and the scene was very fragrant.
Shi Qian didn't want to inadvertently see a living spring palace, and went down to the inner house, and when he sneaked into the third house, he obviously felt that there were a lot of dark whistles around, and he wanted to come here to live the key people in the village, he didn't dare to be careless and lurk in a wing room to carefully observe and wait for the opportunity. At this moment, two people came into the room below, as if they had returned from a change of guard.
"Skinny Monkey, aren't you on duty in the back garden tonight, why did you come here?"
"It's not that Erlang stole his own Sanniang for convenience and broke us apart."
Then the two whispered to each other what they had communicated, and then laughed obscenely.
It turned out that this was the case, and it was only then that the time moved to understand the reason why the backyard was not fortified. He dived for a while to see that there was no big opportunity, and it had been almost an hour since he came in, so he retreated the same way, and it happened that when he passed the embroidery building, it happened that Erlang came out after his work.
"Erlang, in a few days it will be the anniversary of my brother's death, I will go to the Guanyin Temple in the town in front of me to set up a dojo, and you will come over to meet for a few days, it is better than sneaking around here, and there is no fun."
"I'll save it, and I'll go when the time comes."
The two were talking, and Shi Qian was hidden in the shadows just to hear clearly.
Let's say that when Shi Qian withdrew from Zhuangzi, Gu Haotian and others outside were waiting anxiously, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the meeting, so they took advantage of the darkness before dawn to withdraw to the ship and turn back to Gujiazhuang.
It was almost noon when he returned to Gujiazhuang, and Gu Haotian couldn't take a break, so he invited Wen Huanzhang to discuss with a few people. On the way, he also roughly heard Shi Qian talk about it, and this time Shi Qian talked about it in detail from beginning to end.
"What is this Crouching Tiger Village going to do, there are many soldiers and armor, and the rebellion will not succeed, but there is a shortage in the mountains, so it is just cheap for us."
As soon as Sun An heard the weapons and armor, his eyes widened, and Bian Xiang and Ji Sheng responded one after another, these guys said that others rebelled, but they didn't care what they wanted to do when they took the weapons and armor.
"Seventy or eighty thousand stone of grain, how many ships have to be arranged." Ruan Xiaoqi seemed to have food in his pocket, and he was already worrying about the ship.
"Brother Shiqian, do you mean that the woman said that her brother was originally a wine buyer in the county town and died last year." Wen Huanzhang asked.
"Can't be wrong, the woman also said that the two days are her brother's sacrifice days, and she wants to go to the Guanyin Temple to make a dojo, so as to have an affair with that Erlang."
Gu Haotian thought in his heart, Zhu Gui killed people last year at about this time, and he was seven or eight points sure that the owner of Crouching Tiger Village was that person, he glanced at Wen Huanzhang, and when he saw that he also nodded, he knew that the two of them thought of a piece, so he let everyone disperse to rest, leaving only Wen Huanzhang and himself.
"Master, I didn't have to take Crouching Tiger Village, even if the murderer was in it, there was no need to rush for a while, but now I can't hold it back, not to mention the huge amount of food, the armor and iron ingots are all in short supply on the mountain, and now we are like fire and water with them, if we don't hurt them, we will hurt them."
Gu Haotian was shocked by the wealth of Crouching Tiger Village on the one hand, and at the same time shocked by the strength of Crouching Tiger Village.
"If it is really the county lieutenant of Wu, what does he want, his parents and officials for more than 20 years have cultivated a vicious tiger gang and privately built a Crouching Tiger Village, and the officialdom of Da Zhou is indeed rotten to the end." Wen Huanzhang couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that this thing has to be done, but Crouching Tiger Village, the Evil Tiger Gang, the Quartet Car Dealership, and it seems that there are some people in the county office, which are intertwined and must be cautious."
Wen Huanzhang also understands that if the county lieutenant of Wu County fails to assassinate once, there will be a next time, and with his strength, it is possible to sneak attack Gujiazhuang.
"I want to go and explore it again tomorrow and the times, and the matter of Xing'er and Erlang may be useful."
It was already night when he went there yesterday, and Gu Haotian wanted to go to see the field during the day, and check the location of Guanyin Temple by the way.
"Be careful." Wen Huanzhang commanded, and he did not object.
In the afternoon of the next day, on the small river outside Crouching Tiger Village, a dilapidated fishing boat came, and a fisherman collected and scattered his fishing nets and slowly approached Zhuangzi. Gu Haotian and Shi Qian sat in the warehouse, staring at Crouching Tiger Village carefully.
"Brother Shi Qian, do you know how many guards there are in the village?"
"I don't know very well, but it seems to me that there must be a lot, I visited the village twice, and the first time I found that there were fourteen or five people on the mountain, more than twenty people in the treasury, dozens of people in the inner courtyard and dozens of people patrolling the outer road, and there were more than 100 people. I don't know how many of those who have not shown up, but there are four or five hundred people to say the least. ”
Two courtyard walls, four or five hundred armed guards, and no armor, if they attack strongly, they will definitely be defeated, Gu Haotian thought to himself.
"The bird man who came here dared to catch fish in the river of Crouching Tiger Village, could it be that he didn't want to live for a long time." At this time, there was a housekeeper on the shore who was scolding.
"Brother, it's my first time fishing, and I don't know the rules, so I'll go back, just go back." Ruan Xiaoqi replied, put away the fishing nets and turned around and left. The family scolded and scolded for a while, and then went.
Guanyin Temple is located at the east end of a collection about two miles away from Crouching Tiger Village, between a willow forest. Gu Haotian and Shi Qian pretended to be pilgrims, went in for a walk, the front two into the Buddha hall, the last one into a round arch but closed, should be the monk's house. The temple was taken care of by a few old nuns, and Gu Haotian gave some incense money and came out.
It was nearly late after getting on the boat, Ruan Xiaoqi turned around and was about to go back, but Gu Haotian couldn't go into the village to see it in person, and he was unwilling after all. Ruan Xiaoqi and Shi Qian heard that Gu Haotian wanted to go in person, but they refused to live or die, and in the end Gu Haotian had to say that it was okay to find a hidden place for him to see from afar. Shi Qian thought for a while, thinking that the place on the mountain was not very risky when he first came, and the three of them discussed it and decided on that place.
At the beginning of the night, Gu Haotian and Shi Qian sneaked to the place behind Zhuangzi again, Gu Haotian had good hearing and eyesight, and he could see the layout of Zhuangzi clearly. He carefully compared the description of Shi Qian and Duan Jingzhu in his heart, and found that it was roughly the same, but he found that there was an open space between the two courtyard walls on the side of the mountain, which should be where the soldiers were trained on weekdays, and the houses between the two walls were divided into courtyards for every few buildings, and he counted them, there were more than ten on each side, just to defend the five-entry mansion in the middle, even if they attacked the village, these courtyards had to be attacked one by one, and it was too difficult.
Gu Haotian carefully wrote down the layout of Crouching Tiger Village in his heart, then withdrew with Shi Qian, and went back with Xiao Qi.
