The night is moonless, and it is silent!

Only the rustle of the breeze through the bamboo grove in front of the window.

At this time, although the time has passed, there is still candlelight in this Rongzhi bedroom, and it is obvious that Rongzhi and his wife may not have rested.

Guarding Wang looked back again at the movement of the courtyard to see if there was any danger of being discovered.

When he was sure that it was still safe, he took out a black cloth towel from his bosom and put it over his face, and tiptoed against the wall to approach the window of the bedroom.

The windows of Rongzhi's bedroom are not large, and they are typical of Jiangnan style, but they are closed at this time.

He used a sharp knife to pick a small opening in the pasted window screen, and then looked into the room.

Through the small hole in the window screen, he saw that Mrs. Rongzhi was sitting at the table, sewing a child's garment with her hands.

On the other side of the table sat a pretty little maid, who was supporting her head with her hands, and had begun to doze off, obviously tired.

Judging from the actions of the two people in the room, Rongzhi should not have returned to the room to rest.

It's so late and not in the dormitory? Where would that be?

Everyone in Jixi County knows that this Rongzhi does not like beauty, and there is only one wife in the family, not even a girl in the room, naturally there is no concubine and aunt, and there is no outer room.

So, it's impossible to stay with other women.

At this time, it was so late, and he had not returned to his bedroom to sleep, so the only place he was most likely to stay was the study.

When he broke into the county government tonight, he had already obtained the general location map of the county government from the hands of an insider who had been to the county government before, and this honorable study was actually not far from the dormitory.

It's just a little bit of a turn through a cloister.

Thinking of this, he didn't delay any longer, and then left the window of Rongzhi's bedroom lightly.

After a few quick dodges, he reached the end of the cloister, and when he was about to pass by, he saw two servants walking from the cloister in the distance, and when he saw this, he shrank hurriedly and crouched in the shadow below the cloister.

"It's so hard for adults, I haven't slept in the study so late!" One of the servants said.

"Yes, my lord is the best county lord I have ever seen." Another servant also said.

"I really hope that the adults will stay in our Jixi County."

"How can you think so, a good official like an adult should be promoted."

……

The two walked through the corridor, and the voice was far away, and the figure of the king guard resurfaced from under the corridor.

Is Rongzhi a good official? Thinking of the news about Rongzhi that his son-in-law found, and thinking about what Rongzhi did when he was the commander of Jixi County, for a while, his mood was really complicated.

But this short-lived emotion was quickly left behind him, and the most important thing is to complete the task assigned to him by his son-in-law at present.

He regained his spirits and cautiously walked through the cloister, and at the turn on the other side of the cloister he saw a house with a light still on.

It should be the study of Rongzhi.

There was no one guarding the door.

The window was not closed, it was open, but it was convenient for him to do his errands.

There was also a voice from inside: "My lord, you better deal with these official documents tomorrow, it's so late, Madame is still waiting for you to sleep!" ”

"Wait a little longer, let the county go back to the room to rest after reading these two pages." A clear voice came from inside.

After confirming that Rong Zhi was in the study, Wang Huwei took out a letter from his arms.

The letter was not thick and unsealed, and he picked it up with his knife, stood a few steps away, adjusted the distance, and the knife with the letter in his hand shot into the window.

If his calculation was not wrong, the flying knife shot right on the bookshelf in Rongzhi's study.

After being convinced that the flying knife had shot into the room, he no longer hesitated, nor did he stop, and after a few ups and downs, he quickly walked towards the wall north of the county office.

As he walked, he heard someone in Rongzhi's study shouting, "Who is outside?" ”

But the letter in his hand has been sent, the task has been completed, and the follow-up things don't need him to pay more attention to.

He just needs to get out as soon as possible now, so as not to be discovered by the people of the county government.

In Rong Zhi's study, Rong Zhi took the flying knife that his personal servant pulled from the bookshelf, took the letter off the flying knife, opened it and only glanced at it, his originally calm and peaceful face changed.

Seeing this, the little guy who had been paying attention to Rong Zhi's movements next to him said: "Master, who dares to break into the county government at night, the little one immediately went to find Zhang Zhutou and asked him to search the county government up and down." ”

"No, don't make a noise, lest Madame be worried." Rong Zhi read the entire letter, and waved his hand to stop the little guy's further movements.

With a slightly calm face, he rolled up the letter on the flying knife, and then put it on the candle flame and lit it, watching the letter turn into ashes little by little.

The ashes slowly fell and fell onto the table.

His expression was solemn, and there was an indescribable feeling.

Although I don't know what is written in this letter, I think that since the other party is not willing to send the letter openly, and chooses such a sneaky way, I am afraid that what is written in this letter will definitely not be a good thing.

But since his own adults don't want to say it, what's the use of him being curious and anxious.

After tonight's incident, it seems that in the future, it will be necessary to dissuade the adults from finding a few more family guards in the back office, this time this thief is just here to deliver a letter, if he comes to assassinate the adults, with their master and servant such powerless appearance, isn't he waiting to be killed?

This sudden letter interrupted Rong Zhi's original interest in dealing with the official document, and the two pages of the official document left under his hand were never touched again, just staring at the window in a daze.

"My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?" The little servant wiped off the ashes on the letter that had just been burned on the table with a cloth towel, looked back and saw that something was not quite right with his adult, and hurriedly asked.

"I didn't ...... Not...... What, it's late at night, you go back to sleep first! ”

Although Rong Zhi came back to his senses, his whole state obviously seemed a little absent-minded, which made the little guy even more worried, how could he go back to sleep with peace of mind when his adult was like this.

"Adult......" The little guy wanted to say something, but was stopped by Rong Zhi waving his hand.

"Alright...... No...... Say more, I'm fine, you go and rest first, let the county be quiet. ”

"Alright, sir, I'll go out first." The little guy didn't let go and persuaded again, so he had to go out.

"Wait!"

"My lord, what else do you command?"

"Don't tell anyone about tonight, you know?"

"Boy understands."

The little guy left the study and didn't leave immediately.

My adult mood looks bad right now, but I can't help but sleep.

Standing outside the door of the study and thinking about it, he thought that it would be better to go to see his wife and ask her to persuade the adults to go to bed early.

As for what was written in the letter, he believed that as long as it was a matter, there would always be a solution.
