The Heaven and Earth Society are all well-trained killers, they use gestures to communicate with each other, their movements are clean and fast, and they come and go without a trace. Led by Peng Zhaozhen, the master of the dumb hall, they killed all the prison guards in the third watch that night, rescued Yang Xiaoshan, and released all the prisoners in the prison in order to cover people's ears and eyes.

At night, Xiang Rong received the news that the prison had been robbed. He was standing in an empty cell at the moment, his expression was worse than that of his dead parents, and he yelled angrily, "Can anyone tell me what is going on? "The Taiping army had just left Guilin for a day, and it was hard to catch their breath, but such a big thing happened. He didn't feel distressed about how many other prisoners ran away, but this Yang Xiaoshan ran away, which made him so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Governor Zou looked embarrassed, it stands to reason that this prison should be in charge of him, the governor, and it is his responsibility to lose it. However, he is an old fritter in officialdom, and he seems to have nothing to do with him, and he still comes over to play a round with a smile at this time. "Admiral, don't be angry, don't be angry. The city gates are closed this night, we can search, there is still time to search, I have asked the headhunters to search door to door, you can rest assured that Yang Xiaoshan will not be able to escape. ”

Xiang Rong glanced at him, and thought to himself: "If you can find out Yang Xiaoshan, you really see the ghost." "He doesn't believe in any of these servants in Guilin, what else can these people do except be greedy for some silver?

"Lord Zou, please have one more thing. Give Guilin's household registration book to me, the three general soldiers, and let them check it. Xiang Rong pointed to the three chief soldiers who came with him.

"Okay, no problem, I'll get it right away." Governor Zou was stunned for a moment, and he also heard Xiang Rong's distrust of him. But he's thick-skinned, and he doesn't think it's sarcasm for himself, so let you check it if you like it.

As soon as the household registration book was brought, the three general soldiers of He Chun, Liu Changqing, and Li Nengchen were each in charge of an area, and they began to search from house to house at night. Tonight's Guilin is destined to be a night when people can't sleep peacefully, with chickens flying and dogs jumping everywhere, and scolding and scolding.

Guixiang Building, Guilin's most famous place to eat flowers and wine. Yang Xiaoshan was brought here, and this was also a secret contact point for the Heaven and Earth Society.

"How is Uncle Peng's arrangement?" Luo Meiying was very concerned about the safety of her subordinates, and asked Uncle Wang.

"Back to the faucet, the people in the dumb hall have a legitimate identity in the local area, they can't find out what is wrong, please rest assured. But I heard that the person in charge of the search this time was not the people in the Guilin Yamen, but the guest army brought by Xiang Rong, so I am afraid that they will find out here. "Uncle Wang was a little apprehensive.

"There is no way to do this, how many people are in other places, it is easy to find out in the household registration book, only here there is a large flow of people, and most of them are outsiders, it is not so easy to check. We are already in trouble with our dumb brethren, and we cannot trouble them any more. Luo Meiying replied, and then she said, "Now I can only hold on, as long as I survive tonight." When it's dawn, send Yang Xiaoshan out of the city through your dart team, and you're done. Your dart team is a medicinal herb for the Qing army, and there are also procedures, so presumably they will not be embarrassed. ”

"yes, it's all about tonight." Uncle Wang nodded.

"You go back to the dart team first, hurry up and get ready, I'll deal with it here." Luo Meiying seemed to hear the noise of the Qing army's search on the next street, and hurriedly said.

"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare. Faucet, you have to take care of yourself. Uncle Wang left Guixiang Building, and only Yang Xiaoshan and Luo Meiying were left in the room.

It is a very chic hall with a carved yellow pear round lacquer table in the center, surrounded by several blue and white porcelain piers. A screen of flowers and birds, placed diagonally in a corner of the hall. The walls are hung with famous paintings and calligraphy from various dynasties. A gorgeous stepping bed was placed in the innermost part, and the room was full of candles, and it was quite bright. The flowers in the various pots and vases on the bench exude a burst of fragrance.

"I've asked my maid Xiaocui to stay outside the door, and under the pretext that it's inconvenient inside, I'm trying to keep the searchers outside. Xiaocui has the posts of Governor Zou and the old governor in her hand, and most people will give face, so they won't be too embarrassed. Luo Meiying began to instruct.

"Inconvenient? Do you want me to be a prostitute? Yang Xiaoshan suddenly remembered.

"What do you want? Why is it so dirty! I'm talking about taking a bath as an excuse. Luo Meiying's willow eyebrows were upside down.

"And where do you let me hide? It's too easy to spot under the bed. Yang Xiaoshan asked.

"You hide behind my tub, which is so big that it can completely block you. But I warn you, don't peek at me, or you'll gouge out your dog's eyes!" Luo Meiying warned.

"Yes, yes, definitely not peeking." Yang Xiaoshan hurriedly swore an oath.

It didn't take long for the general soldier to come to Guixiang Building with people and start searching.

As soon as the Qing soldiers entered here, they rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, making the entire Guixianglou almost blow up.

"No peeping!" Luo Meiying told again, and Yang Xiaoshan promised again. So she took off her snow-white jacket, took off the golden hairpin on her bun, took off her sky-blue gauze skirt, and left only a thin close-fitting belly pocket on her body, and then entered the bathtub barefoot.

The water in the bathtub is still freshly boiled, steaming, and a layer of osmanthus is spread on top, and the fragrance is fragrant.

"Why don't you go in and search this one?" The voice of the chief soldier sounded outside the door.

"Back to the chief soldier, this young lady has posts from Governor Zou and the former old governor." The subordinate bowed his head and argued.

"Anyone's post doesn't work today, open door! I'm going to go in and search! He Chun said sharply.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Xiao Cui hurriedly stopped the door and said loudly: "My young lady is bathing now, you can't go in." ”

"Get out of here!" He Chun pushed away Xiao Cui and strode in.

"Which military master is it? What a big official authority. The little woman was bathing, and it was not very convenient. Please also ask the military master to give face, and also give the governor a face. Luo Meiying sat in the tub with her back on her back, her shadow reflected on the screen.

He Chun can be promoted from the bottom little by little, and he is not a reckless and brainless person. As soon as he heard Luo Meiying's tone, she must have a backstage. He swept his eyes around, there was not much furniture in this house, except for the fact that there was almost no place to hide people under the bed, and his heart was a little shorter.

He Chun glanced at his subordinates, and a Qing soldier glanced under the bed again, shaking his head to indicate that there was no one. At this time, He Chun regretted his rashness a little, and said in a low voice: "This official was ordered by the Admiral to search for the bandits, and offended the girl, which is really disturbing." I'm sorry, this official will leave. ”

After saying that, He Chun was just about to leave, but suddenly stopped again and turned back. He noticed that the bowl on the table seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Yang Xiaoshan, who was hiding behind the bathtub, found Hechun's turn from the transparent screen, and he suddenly remembered that the bowl in the room was the same as the bowl that Luo Meiying gave herself in the prison, and he hid the bowl under the thatch after eating, did Hechun search the cell and found these bowls.

He Chun didn't pay much attention to it at that time, because he knew that the governor had served Yang Xiaoshan for a while with good food and drink. But now he was starting to think something was wrong with the bowl.
