In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

The boundless night seemed to swallow everything, and the prison of Qiantang County was even more quiet, and from time to time you could hear the rustle of leaves blown by the wind outside.

The two jailers tightened their clothes and snoozed against the mottled doors, the oil lamps hanging on the walls on either side. The flickering lights cast the jailer's figure on the ground, sometimes large and sometimes small, far and near, like a ghost with teeth and claws.

In the night, three strange black shadows suddenly appeared, they were wearing black night clothes, their bodies were like swallows, and the wind was blowing under their feet, constantly shuttling on various buildings.

After jumping lightly onto the wall of the prison, the three of them glanced at each other, and the man in the middle of the leader had a cold light in his eyes, and coldly made a movement to wipe his neck.

The other two nodded slightly, pulled out a dagger from their cuffs, flew down the city wall, and silently landed behind the two jailers, suddenly slicing open the jailer's neck.

Before the jailer could snort, his eyes widened at the blood splattering from his neck, and he collapsed to the ground, whimpering for his life.

Everything is so unaware, unaware.

The three killers hid by the side of the door and reached out and knocked on the door of death row.

"Ge Laozi, knock on a fart! Zhang Yi, Li Quan, it's not time for the changing of the guard yet! There was a swearing voice from inside, and then the footsteps came from far and near, and came to the door.

The door creaked open, revealing a gap that could only accommodate one person, and then a head poked out.

"Zhang ......"

The figure in black flickered, his wrist suddenly exerted force, and a dagger was plunged straight into the jailer's neck!

"There is ......"

The jailer had realized something, and from his throat came the last warning of life. Unfortunately, his throat had been cut at this time, and no one could hear him.

The killer at the head waved his hand, and the three of them rushed in through the gap.

There were only four jailers on duty at the inner door of death row, and they were all napping on a table at the moment, and the three killers killed them with little effort.

Several prisoners who had not yet fallen asleep were frightened when they saw this scene, and hurriedly lay on the ground and did not dare to make a sound, but their trembling bodies could not hide it.

One of the killers picks up the key to the prison and heads straight for death row.

When they saw the man in black swaggering in, they naturally knew what was going on, and they rushed to the cell door in a frenzy, shouting: "Friend, help me out!" Get me out! ”

The killers ignored them and walked straight inside. Stopped in front of a cell door and took out the key to open the door.

The prisoner's cry for help had already woken Wu Xing, he opened his eyes wide, looked at the man in black who walked into the cell, and said in surprise: "It was Master Hou who sent you!" ”

The black-clothed killer was silent, there was a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth hidden under the mask, a cold light flashed in his hand, and the sharp dagger pierced straight into Wu Xing's chest!

"Hou ...... Master, you...... It's ruthless...... Lao Tzu ...... for you Bad...... Do ......" Wu Xing's eyes widened angrily, and he opened his mouth intermittently and did not finish speaking, and he fell to the ground and died.

……

In the middle of the night, the lonely moon hangs high, and everything is silent, only a few spring insects hide in the flowers and chirp secretly.

In the backyard of Qiantang County, a bright light looms in the bedroom. Yu Huawen was wearing a coat and reading official documents under the oil lamp.

Because there are a lot of government affairs left over in Qiantang County, Yu Huawen had to burn the sundial, night and day, and was very busy.

"Master, the county government official Cao Shi came to visit and said that he had something important to see." The voice of a servant came from outside the door.

Got something important on the big night? Yu Huawen frowned suspiciously, then put down the brush, got dressed, walked out of the bedroom, and said, "Take me over quickly." ”

Pang Tai was anxiously pacing back and forth in the front hall, and when he saw Yu Huawen appear, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, something is wrong!" ”

Yu Huawen knew that Pang Tai reported late at night, and the matter must be not small. Hurriedly said: "What is the matter?" Huge people, come on! ”

"Someone attacked the county jail at night! Seven jailers and one prisoner were killed! Pang Tai gasped.

"What!" Yu Huawen almost couldn't believe his ears, "Which prisoner was killed?" ”

"Wu Xing, Wu Xing, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion!"

"What about the thieves?"

"The thieves fled after committing the crime!"

"Quick, take me there!"

"Yes, sir!"

……

Lin He instructed Mu Qing to finish the notation of "Guangling San", and it was close to the time of the child. He arched his hand towards Mu Qing and said, "Miss Mu Qing, it's not too early, so I'll leave here." ”

Only then did Mu Qing notice that the bright moon outside the window was hanging high in the sky, and it was already midnight.

"Lin Gongzi, it's curfew time, if you don't dislike it, I can ask Yun Ma to arrange for you to stay here." Mu Qing pulled a strand of hair scattered by the evening breeze on her sideburns and said lightly.

"Don't bother, it's close by the next house." Lin He waved his hand.

Mu Qing no longer forced to stay, and ordered Xiaoli to send Lin He out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, most of the guests have left, and only a few people in the hall are packing up the fruit plate and tea set.

Lin He burrowed into the night and stepped on the moon.

Mu Qing, who was standing in the warm pavilion, her eyes flickered, and she called in a low voice: "Xiaoli." ”

"Miss." Xiao Li at the door walked into the room and said respectfully.

"You ask Hall Master Mo to investigate the origin of this Lin Gongzi." Mu Qing's voice was cold, and her face seemed to have a layer of frost.

I saw Xiao Li respond: "Yes." "Go to the window and fly out!

……

The gate of the county government is open, and there are officials holding torches everywhere, illuminating the lights within a radius of dozens of zhang.

Is something wrong? Lin He frowned and strode towards the entrance of the county office.

The head catcher at the door quickly discovered Lin He, hurriedly greeted him, and arched his hand: "Lord Lin, Lord Lin, the county commander asked you to rush to the county jail as soon as you come back!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"It is said that all the jailers on duty in the prison were killed, and one prisoner was killed."

Who is so bold? After Lin He heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and he stopped being polite with the head catcher, and rushed to the prison.

When Lin He arrived at the prison, he happened to see Yu Huawen and Pang Tai.

He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Lord Yu, a huge person." ”

"Lord Lin, you're just in time." Pontai pulled the Lim River.

"Chang Gung, what did you find during today's visit?" Yu Huawen asked.

Lin He spread his hands, shook his head and said, "My lord, Shen Qinglong has already redeemed that woman yesterday. ”

Yu Huawen frowned and said, "Being in such a hurry is enough to show that there must be something wrong here!" ”

"What your lord said is very true." Lin He nodded.

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for the time being, let's check the scene of this night attack on the cell first." Yu Huawen hurriedly walked into the cell.

Pang Tai and Lin He hurriedly followed.
