Seven

This so-called Duan Mansion is not at all the same as the corrupt official's mansion in Chu Li's imagination. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info narrow courtyard with dilapidated walls, and the pomp is not even as good as the courtyard where he hid when he was a child.

"This corrupt official seems to be deeply hidden!" When Chu Li came to the gate of Duan's mansion, it seemed that the raid had begun, and the three floors outside the door were crowded with ordinary people watching the excitement, and the gate was guarded by two officers and soldiers armed with spears, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls in the mansion was endless.

What about the pirates? At least not at the door. Could it be that you've already gotten in?

According to the experience of the master, it is by no means easy to fish in troubled waters at the site of the raiding of the house of a senior official, and it is absolutely impossible to blend into the ranks of officers and soldiers in broad daylight without being recognized, and it is necessary to pay a lot of money to the captain who leads the troops, as well as all the people in charge of affairs related to this matter, this work must be carried out by a reliable intermediary, and it must be done at least ten days in advance, and the most important point is to have a sum of money sufficient to bribe as the capital. Therefore, picking up the leftovers of the house is actually a big gamble, once you can't copy anything valuable on the spot, or you don't find a suitable opportunity to start, the money bribed before the event will be wasted.

Standing in the crowd, Chu Li kept looking into the courtyard, but because there was a shadow behind the gate behind the wall, he could only hear the sound, and it was difficult to judge what was going on in the courtyard. In desperation, Chu Li went around to the back of Duan Mansion.

How weird! The entrance is so lively, but the alley behind it is unusually deserted. If you really raid the house, there should be officers and soldiers guarding here, and if there is no one, you must have used the silver. With past experience, if there are really thieves waiting for the opportunity to commit crimes, this should be the place to respond, if there are large hard goods that are inconvenient to carry, it should be transferred from here, otherwise it is impossible for this alley to be so deserted.

But why is there no one outside to answer it? There were four of them, at least the fragrant beauty should stay outside, right? Maybe people are not as shy as snitches when they do business, and they are ready to half-steal and half-grab things and get out of here directly? If that's the case, if four people jump out at once, will you be able to handle it yourself?

While he was thinking about it, something was actually transported out of the yard. But it's not an antique calligraphy or painting, it's a person.

A child, who looked to be eight or nine years old, struggled out of the dog hole in the corner and crawled out of the yard. This dog hole is much narrower than the one I drilled back then, and it is difficult for children to drill it, and it is impossible for adults to drill through it.

How is it a child? Was he rescued by someone, or did he escape on his own? Although he didn't understand the situation for a while, Chu Li's first reaction was to cover the child's mouth, pick up the child and hide in a corner, and only let go of his hand after making sure that there was no one left and right.

"Hero, my father is a Qing official, you can't kill me!" Before Chu could leave, the kid knelt on the ground with a pop and kowtowed.

"Doll, how did you get out?"

"A military master told me to climb out of there!"

"Master Jun? Do you know each other? ”

The child shakes his head.

"Did he tell you anything?"

The child continues to shake his head.

"What does that military master look like? Isn't it tall? Very dark, bearded, very little hair? Chu Li described the appearance of the big man who killed the peddler, but the child's head still shook like a rattle.

"Is there the person I said in the courtyard?"

The child continued to shake his head, tears beginning to roll in his eyes, as if he felt that his head would move at any time if he continued to ask questions.

Could it be that those four people didn't come? Chu Li touched the child's head and began to reorganize his thoughts, he had always wishfully believed that those four people were pirates, and the reason was simply because those people were from a province rich in pirates. But then again, no matter how rich the province is, it is impossible for the people in a province to be pirates, not to mention that there is a valuable ivory gilt waist card on that person, no pirate gang in the world will be so particular about using ivory as a waist card? Could it be that I guessed wrong? Those people weren't pirates at all, and the purpose of coming to the capital wasn't to fish in the troubled waters of Duanfu?

Forget it, let's ignore those four people for now.

The trickiest thing now is what kind of thing is going on with this kid right now? Could it be that he was inexplicably involved in another lawsuit?

At this moment, a man dressed as an officer and soldier jumped over the courtyard wall and jumped into the alley. This person has a fair and handsome face, stands upright, and looks like a literati in every move. Chu Li instinctively drew out his short sword, and blocked the child behind him with a horizontal body. To be honest, this move is contrary to the teachings of the old pervert, and the old pervert has instilled the most lesson in his apprentices in this life: don't be nosy.

"Is that you?" The person who came seemed to know Chu Li.

"Do we know each other?" Chu Li's short sword changed hands, but he did not let his guard down.

"Take him out of the city from Quang Ninh Gate! There is a teahouse three miles outside the city, and there will be a monk there to answer it! The person who came didn't seem to be hostile, but instead of being hostile, he regarded Chu Li as an accomplice, turned around and ran up the wall, and jumped back into the courtyard without waiting for Chu Li's questioning.

Chu Li was stunned on the spot.

Which bird is Quang Ninh Gate? Who is this little white face dressed as an officer and soldier? Since he wants to save a child out, why didn't anyone outside arrange to pick him up? Could it be that if he hadn't come, this kid would have to go to the teahouse three miles outside the city to find the monk by himself?

"Doll, do you know Guangning Gate?"

The child finally nodded.

That's right, he really wanted the kid to get out of town on his own.

Guangning Gate is the city gate on the southeast side of the capital, and there are not many people who enter and leave the city from here. After walking out of the city gate and walking three miles, there was indeed a teahouse, and there was indeed an old monk sitting in the teahouse. Seeing the child, the old monk folded his hands and made a gesture to Chu Li, and then left the teahouse with the child, without saying a word from beginning to end.

And then what?

Chu Li didn't know what to do next.

originally wanted to find the big man to seek revenge, but the big man didn't find it, but he rescued a child from the corrupt official's house in a daze.

Having said that, that little white face in a military uniform must not be a fuel-efficient lamp. In Chu Li's impression, being able to make some silver ticket calligraphy and paintings under the noses of officers and soldiers is already difficult for snitches, and that little white face actually stole a living person in front of everyone! Raid the house, don't you need to count the family members? What the hell is that guy coming from? How much money did you make? Or maybe some tricks?

The most important thing is that the person seems to know himself, but he doesn't have any impression of himself! Who is he? I just escaped last night, will this inexplicable child cause any trouble for himself?
