72. Night Detective

Seventy-two night detectives

The night is getting dark, the prefect's back house is still brightly lit, the maid-in-law is in and out, still preparing for the next day's welcome, Huang has already spoken, and after tomorrow, each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver, they are naturally full of energy, no matter how busy they dare not have the slightest slack. The green brick floor has been splashed with water several times, and it is clean and free of any debris; The bright red silk wrapped around the tree looked jubilant and joyful, and it was also checked several times, and there would be no surprises; Zhang Qingqing's clothes and jewelry the next day were also taken care of, and he didn't dare to be a little sloppy. All the work is carried out in an orderly manner, and the next day is sure to be foolproof.

At midnight, all the subordinates were so tired that they couldn't open their eyes, so Huang ordered everyone to disperse and rest, and in an instant, the lively back house was quiet. Before leaving, Huang took Zhang Qingqing's hand and told him for a long time, and finally wiped away his tears before reluctantly leaving. Zhang Qingqing looked at the red house blankly, but she only felt that she wanted to cry without tears, tomorrow, she will marry Fuzhou, and she will become Zhou Yuanhong's wife, why did she leave this world tonight without a sudden illness? The happiness of her life will be buried, why does she live in this world like flesh and bones? Who is she living for in this life? Zhang Qingqing looked at the weeping candle, but she couldn't shed a tear in her eyes, all the endings have been written, can she still rewrite her fate?

Her figure was reflected in the window, and seven or eight pairs of eyes outside the window stared at her figure, as long as there was a little abnormality, seven or eight of the best kung fu catchers were ready to rush out, and the prefect had already said that if outsiders sneaked in, they would see people alive and corpses when they died, and if they dared to let people run away, they would all be beaten up.

The night is getting quieter and deeper, and the seemingly joyful back house hides the shadow of swords and swords.

Xu is Zhang Hansheng has put all his energy into the back house, and the second hall is not as strict as in the past. A few night patrol officers turned around, found that there was no abnormality, and couldn't help but sit together and chat with great interest.

An errand officer looked at the back house, and said in a staggered manner: "My lord marries Miss this time, it is really pompous, I heard that tomorrow's Xuanzheng envoy Lu is going to arrive." ”

The other officer smiled and said, "Then tomorrow there will be a good meal of wine and meat." ”

His words caused everyone to burst into laughter, and a lean errand officer said disdainfully: "You kid just want to eat, if Lord Zhang is in a good mood, maybe there will be a reward." ”

The few of them talked very lively, but no one noticed that the two black shadows were hidden in the night, carefully avoiding everyone's attention, and sneaked close to Zhang Hansheng's study. The two of them were dressed in black, only showing two eyes, their cat was motionless at the door of the study, after an appointment of incense, felt that there was nothing abnormal, one person gently approached the door lock, took advantage of the moonlight to find the keyhole, took out a thing from his arms, and poked at the keyhole, but he didn't expect the lock to have no reaction, the person was taken aback, and twisted a few times, the lock still did not open. The man behind saw that he had not opened the door for a long time, for fear of alarming the servant in the room, so he reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, motioned for him to get out of the way, looked around himself, carefully leaned up, and with a clever hand in his hand, the lock was opened, and he did not wait for the lock to fall to the ground, and picked up the lock with one hand, and his skills were very agile. The two squatted in front of the door and waited for a while, listening to everything normal, the man in front made a gesture, gently pushed the door open with his hand, and dodged into the house, leaving the man behind to watch the wind outside. This person entered the house, took out a fire fold from his arms, lit it gently, and the dark study was lit with a faint light. It turned out that he found out that Zhang Hansheng was busy marrying his daughter tonight, and knew that the guards would definitely be relaxed here, so he sneaked in with Hu Runze, preparing to check Zhang Hansheng's study, which has always been Zhang Hansheng's favorite place to go, and maybe there will be something useful. He left Hu Runze outside to control the wind, and he came to the house by himself, and while listening carefully to the sounds outside, he rummaged in the house. He didn't miss every place in the study, searched carefully, and tried not to mess up the things in the study. But he went through every corner of the study, but there was nothing to see any signs of collusion between Zhang Hansheng and the Japanese Invaders. He didn't give up, and rummaged through the house carefully, but still found nothing. At this time, he suddenly heard Hu Runze learning two sentences of insect chirping outside, he knew that someone was coming here, so he hurriedly walked to the door a few steps, listened to the sound outside, gently opened the door, flashed to the door, and locked it again, only to hear the footsteps getting closer and closer, the two immediately jumped and buried their bodies on the roof. At this time, I only heard two or three people coming over, and saw the fire light on, and illuminated the vicinity of the study, and a strange voice sounded: "Could it be that I was dazzled, why did I just flash and see a light in this study?" Another person scolded in a thick voice: "Zhang Baliang, haven't you been drinking yesterday yet, where is there any light in this good place?" A few more people muttered a few more words, and then went somewhere else. Ding Si and Hu Runze glanced at each other, and when no one paid attention to him, he slipped down the back wall.

When he arrived at a place where no one was, Hu Runze pulled off his towel and couldn't wait to say to Ding Si: "My lord, what do you gain?" ”

Ding Si shook his head: "No, the study is full of official documents, and there are no letters exchanged with the Japanese Kou." ”

Hu Runze frowned and said: "After checking for three days, I didn't find anything, and Nayi Hongge was also lively every day, and the people who came and went were prostitutes, and nothing else was found." But I secretly noticed that someone was watching me, and I pretended not to notice, and they must have thought that I was hiding well. ”

Ding Si nodded: "It's good that you do this." He glanced at Hu Runze again and said: "Although they don't have any handle in our hands now, if it is really Zhang Hansheng who colluded with the Japanese Kou, there will always be some physical evidence, and now the top priority is to find the evidence, so that we can report it to the imperial court." ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw a noise on the southwest side of the lobby, Hu Runze stretched his neck and looked at it and said, "That is where the South Prison is located, and prisoners are usually detained, what is the trouble at this time?" ”

Ding Si thought about it for a while, his face couldn't help but change, and he said to Hu Runze: "It's not good, don't risk your death to save that Feng Yang." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards the noisy place.

Both of them are people with kung fu, it didn't take long for them to come to the South Prison, the two hurriedly found a place to hide their bodies, and saw the torch at the door of the South Prison held high, illuminating this place as if it was daytime, a group of people formed a circle, and the two of them were firmly enclosed inside, one of them looked like a crown of jade, heroic, it was the Wang Zhiyang that they couldn't find for a long time. It turned out that since Feng Yang was arrested, Wang Zhiyang was more careful to hide his traces, although Zhang Hansheng also sent a large number of subordinates to find his whereabouts, but no one found his hiding place, he found out that Zhang Qingqing was going to get married the next day, and felt that this was the only chance to save Feng Yang, so he secretly came to the South Prison in the dead of night, carefully touched it, knocked the prison guard unconscious, and took out the key to rescue Feng Yang. Feng Yang has been tortured in prison for the past few days, and he has no strength at all, Wang Zhiyang hugged him tightly, and he could barely stand firm. Feng Yang saw that there were more and more officers and soldiers surrounding him, and he couldn't help but use all his strength to urge Wang Zhiyang and said: "Zhiyang, you go quickly, leave me alone." Wang Zhiyang hugged him firmly and said loudly: "Brother Feng, how many cases have we worked together, and how can these dog officers and soldiers get us?" As he spoke, he swung his sword to resist the attack of the officers and soldiers.

When Zhang Hansheng saw Wang Zhiyang, his eyes were already on fire, he pointed at Wang Zhiyang with his hand, and shouted loudly: "If anyone captures this thief alive today, I will reward him with a thousand taels of silver." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the officers and soldiers besieging were in high spirits, and they attacked with weapons as if they were dying, Rao is Wang Zhiyang's kung fu is strong, but he was dragged down by the wind around him, and he was almost stabbed by the other party a few times, Wang Zhiyang's face did not change, a long sword made him elusive, and he resisted the other party like his life, but finally he couldn't stand the other party's many people, and there were gradually signs of defeat.
