West of the city, Cao Fu.

"Childe, it's not good, someone died!"

Cao Hao suddenly woke up, and by the moonlight, he saw Wei Hei standing in front of the bed, with blood stains on his chest. He immediately sat down: "Injured? ”

"It's not a subordinate, it's the blood of a villain!" Wei Hei replied.

Cao Hao was drunk, turned over and got out of bed: "There are thieves in the house?" How many people are coming, can the people in our house be injured? How many of them died? ”

Wei Hei hesitated for a moment and landed on one knee: "Childe, please forgive your subordinates for their reckless crimes!" ”

Cao Hao heard that there was no noise nearby, and thought for a moment: "Something happened in Liufang Hutong?" ”

Wei Hei nodded and explained the situation clearly.

It turned out that since the two brothers Wei, Hei and Wei Bai found out the details of the small courtyard in Liufang Hutong, they were thinking about how to teach the county king Nersu a lesson and help Cao Hao vent his evil anger.

Cao Hao was not easy to act because of his status as the county king of Nersu, but the Wei brothers did not take it so seriously. Cao Hao thought that he couldn't cover Nersu's head with a sack and drag him to the alley and beat him; The Wei brothers were planning to beat Nersu violently. It's just that the two of them are in their thirties after all, and they are not the kind of impulsive teenagers who don't use their brains. The two of them combined, anyway, the woman came out of the Qinglou, so they pretended to be a benefactor in the past, looking for an opportunity to teach Nersu a lesson.

The two brothers did not act rashly, but they greeted Cao Hao before going to Liufang Hutong at night. It's just that Cao Hao had just come home drunk at that time, and he was confused when he heard it, and the two brothers thought that Cao Hao had agreed to this plan, so they went to Liufang Hutong to stare at it.

*

At the beginning of the day (eleven o'clock in the evening), the Wei brothers wore dark clothes to the courtyard of Liufang Hutong and hid on the roof of the main house.

Hearing a man in the room, the two brothers thought it was the king of the county who was here, and they secretly said that the opportunity was good. I don't want to, listen carefully, but I vaguely feel that something is wrong.

The two people in the room, one called each other "Yun Niang", and the other called each other "Mr". One said, "Yun Niang, it's hard for you", and the other said, "Sir, settle".

The Wei brothers heard that something was wrong, gently uncovered a piece of tile, and looked into the room. The name is still the same name, but the one who holds him in his arms is a middle-aged man in his forties, the one the two brothers thought was the bookkeeper or the housekeeper.

The Wei brothers didn't expect such a change, and when they looked at each other, they all felt funny. Unexpectedly, the master in the room who was still unconscious not only hooked up with the king of the county, but also hooked up with the people in the courtyard.

Since he can blatantly keep people staying in the main house, it seems that he must have gotten the news and knew that the prince would not come at night. Thinking of this, the Wei brothers knew that it was no fun to wait any longer, so they planned to return to Caofu.

At this moment, two extremely short barking dogs were heard in the distance. The two brothers, who had been in the rivers and lakes, felt that the barking of dogs was wrong, and it seemed that there were night walkers, and they were coming in their direction.

The two brothers held their breath and listened carefully. Both of them are both internal and external, their ears and eyes are far from comparable to ordinary people, and their voices can be heard clearly within a radius of a hundred feet.

I heard someone whisper: "There is a big locust tree in front of the door, it seems to be this one!" ”

With the sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo", several people jumped into the courtyard. Suddenly, someone shouted: "Who? All I heard was the sound of swords clashing, and in the blink of an eye, I heard someone screaming "ah", and then a heavy object fell to the ground. It turned out to be two guards in the front yard, and when they found someone coming in, they tried to stop them, but they were killed.

The Wei brothers could see clearly on the roof of the main house, and they were secretly frightened. There were four people who came, and they were vicious, but they didn't know what kind of grudge they had with the woman in the courtyard. The two brothers are not troubled people, and they don't have the idea of "helping each other", looking at the woman's style, they are not serious people, maybe it was the past concubine who was annoyed and sent someone to make such a ruthless move. It's just that if you leave now, you will inevitably show traces, and if you come to the people who don't distinguish between good and bad, you won't be bored. Therefore, both of them made up their minds to watch from the wall for the time being.

Although the fight in the front yard was short, it still shocked the backyard side.

A mother-in-law on night duty noticed that something was wrong, and shouted in a loud voice: "The thief has entered, come quickly!" ”

At midnight, everything was silent, and although the frightened shouts could not be heard far, they were enough to wake up everyone in the backyard.

As soon as the woman's words fell, several night walkers came to her eyes, and their knives fell, and the woman's head had been cut off.

The Wei brothers frowned, clenching their fists but still holding on.

"Mother, mother!" A little maid came out of the chamber, and cried on the corpse of the woman, and was cut down as soon as she shouted twice.

The door of the main room opened, and the middle-aged man walked out, saw the body of the mother-in-law on the ground, and said angrily: "Where did you come from, thieves, and you dare to commit such a murder!" ”

The person who came to see a middle-aged man coming out of the main room was slightly surprised, and pointed a knife at him and said, "Which green onion are you, the new concubine of 'Saixiangjun'?" Dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this. ”

The middle-aged man trembled with anger, and a petite figure flashed out from behind him and stood in front of the thief: "Since you are here for me, why hurt the innocent!" ”

It was Lu Yunniang who came out, although she was so frightened that her face was bloodless, but her expression was a little resolute.

"Nonsense, let you hide, why are you still coming out?" The middle-aged man scolded angrily and stepped forward, wanting to protect Lu Yunniang behind him.

Lu Yunniang whispered softly: "Husband, I can be husband and wife with you, even if it is only two days, the concubine feels happy, and she will not live this life in vain." ”

"Yun Niang, I knew that my fate was shallow, and my husband would never let you wait for half a year!" The middle-aged man saw the fierce and vicious people in front of him, and knew that he and a few women and children could not escape at all, so he sighed.

The person who came sneered: "What a good show of husband and wife parting, 'Saixiangjun', it is in vain that the master treats you like that, but you are so ignorant." Lao Tzu will surely fulfill you and let you live and die together. As he spoke, he had already raised his knife and approached the middle-aged man.

The Wei brothers were disgusted with this Lu Yun Niangshui's surname Yang Hua and did not want to meddle in their affairs, but how could they be indifferent when they saw the tragic death of innocent women and children just now? just took care of Cao Hao, and didn't want to cause trouble to the Cao family for his own sake.

No, there are changes on the field.

Lu Yunniang relied on the softness of her waist and limbs, and turned to the middle-aged man again, and blocked a knife for him alive. The blade slid across her face and slashed into her shoulder, sending half of her forearm flying. Before everyone could react to what was going on, Lu Yunniang's body fell softly.

The courtyard was so miserable, even if Wei Hei and Wei Bai were hard-hearted, they couldn't stand it. The brother masked his face in a black scarf, jumped out of the room, and stood in front of Lu Yunniang and the middle-aged man.

The thieves saw two people jumping down from the room, and they all surrounded Lu Yunniang when they saw that they were in a group. The Wei brothers complained that they were vicious and acted unceremoniously. It's just that the other party has some skills, and they fight for a while.

After more than ten moves, the other party gradually lost support, the leader of the person had seen the world, and he couldn't do anything when he saw things, so he entangled Wei Hei and shouted in his mouth: "Brothers, withdraw quickly, inform the master, there is a master of the Ping Wangfu, and call the master to avenge the five!" ”

Wei Hei and Wei Bai would not allow them to escape and leave a disaster, desperately intercepted, and finally killed the three people who were going to escape. The person who called himself 'That Five' in the courtyard was seriously injured, and seeing that the Wei brothers had the intention of asking for a confession, he sneered twice, and a wisp of blood flowed out of his mouth, and he died of anger immediately.

The Wei Hei and Wei Bai brothers looked at the corpses all over the yard, and they were excited, but the two of them had not forgotten to take care of the aftermath. I remember that the next person should also have a mother-in-law and a little maid, who has not appeared so far, and it seems that she is hiding. Sure enough, in the wing, the two people who were trembling with fear were found. In the courtyard, the middle-aged man hugged Lu Yunniang's body with a dilated look.

Wei Hei said coldly: "She's not dead yet, if you don't help her stop the bleeding, I'm afraid she will really die!" ”

The middle-aged man woke up like a dream, and hurriedly tore off half of his shirt to wrap Lu Yunniang's broken arm.

When he saw that Lu Yunniang was indeed alive, the middle-aged man thought that he had not thanked his benefactor, and immediately thanked him: "Lu Dai thanked the two benefactors!" ”

"Who are you and what is your relationship with Lu Yunniang?" Wei Hei asked with squinted eyes.

"Lu is the west seat of the Ping Palace, and Yun Niang is cheap!" Lu Dai replied.

Wei Hei and Wei Bai are not fools, since those villains dare to destroy people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they naturally have something to rely on, and they keep saying "Master", the people behind them must be Manchurian magnates. The water in the capital is too deep, and it cannot be solved by force alone, and if you don't know it, you may have to affect the son and the Cao family.

What to do with the four people who are alive in this courtyard right now, the two brothers couldn't make up their minds for a while. In the end, Wei Hei glanced at Wei Bai and went back to Cao's Mansion to ask Cao Hao for instructions.

Lu Dai was worried about Lu Yunniang's body and wanted to go out to find a doctor in the hospital, but was stopped by Wei Bai. It's curfew time now, so if you go out, don't say it's looking for a doctor, I'm afraid that I'm going to be in trouble.

Lu Dai was not pedantic, and he didn't say anything about wanting to report to the official immediately. Now, where are there a few good officials in the yamen, and there is such a big case in the capital, if no one is guilty, when will it be over. If you report to the official, it's good if you meet someone with a little conscience, otherwise you may be bitten back.

*

West of the city, Cao Fu.

After listening to Wei Hei's narration, Cao Hao's expression was a little solemn.

"Childe, it's all the fault of the subordinate brothers, and it shouldn't be too much!" Wei Hei felt a little guilty.

Cao Hao smiled and patted Wei Hei on the shoulder: "Seeing innocent women and children being slaughtered, how many hot-blooded men can be indifferent." If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be as calm as your brothers! ”

"But, what about those people, they have seen our brother make a move!" Wei Hei is not a timid person, but he doesn't want to be found on Cao Hao because of himself. Just now, it was just a righteous effort, but now I feel troublesome.

"Don't bother with it, wait until dawn to escort them to King Ping's Mansion secretly, it is estimated that they should go there; If they go to the government after dawn, follow them. Anyway, your brother didn't show his appearance, so it's a big deal to go back to Jiangning. Cao Hao said easily, but his heart was a little heavy.

Since he knew that the courtyard was the person from the Ping Wangfu, and he recklessly sent the killer over, how huge the force behind it was. The only people who can not put the county king in their eyes are the princes or princes of higher grades.

Cao Hao didn't worry about himself, after all, the Wei brothers' rescue was carried out in masks, and the killer did not slip through the net; He was just a little worried about his brother-in-law.
