CHAPTER XXXI

When night fell, in a courtyard in Hangzhou City, there were piles of clothes, and a few big-headed soldiers were busy outside, and the courtyard was brightly lit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Madame, shall we leave tomorrow?" Guqin asked.

"Yes, my lord has sent a letter, let me pack up and go to Ningbo City immediately." As he spoke, Wei Su looked at Mo Lan's sky and said with longing.

"Got it, ma'am, then we'll keep what we can use tonight, and box up all the rest. Hurry up and get some rest, and I'll take care of the rest. Guqin said with a smile.

"Guqin, you are really good at talking, it's good to have you with me recently, I've always treated you as a sister, don't be tired, just let them clean up, you can rest quickly." Tomorrow, when you hurry, you can exhaust people and scatter them. Wei Su said.

"Got it, Sister Su, don't worry, my body is fine." Guqin said.

"Okay, then I'm going to sleep." Wei Su said.

"Yes, sister. Come in, it's cool on an autumn night. Guqin said.

Wei Su nodded and entered the house, she felt that this girl named Guqin was really a good person, she was usually considerate of herself, she rushed to do a lot of dirty work at home, and the flowers in the yard were cleaned up by her. Moreover, she doesn't even cook for a month, what kind of tutor did she receive since she was a child? I really can't say it, if this kind of woman marries her, it will be a blessing for a lifetime.

Guqin asked the big soldier to clean up carefully, and then entered the room. She took out her charcoal pencil from her bag, quickly wrote a few words on a blank piece of paper, and when she was done, rolled up the slip of paper and placed it in a bamboo tube. While people were not paying attention, he opened the courtyard gate and slipped out. At this moment, it was already curfew, she walked to the courtyard gate, looked at both sides of the street, there was no one in all directions, walked a few steps along the courtyard wall, blamed the corner, squatted down, it was too dark, so she touched the wall tile with her hand, when her slender jade finger touched a wall brick, there was some joy between her eyebrows, and she picked the brick crack with her fingers, and pulled out the wall tile little by little. This wall tile is different from the others, and it is noticeably broken. At this time, a small hole in the wall is revealed.

Guqin took out a bamboo pipe from his pocket and put it into the hole in the wall, and then carefully put the wall tiles back. He took out another piece of white clay and smeared it on it, and then brushed it off with his sleeve. Put away the white mud, clap your hands, and stand up. She walked out of the corner, looked around again, and after making sure that no one saw her, she quietly entered the courtyard, but the courtyard door was not closed, but crossed her waist and said to a group of big-headed soldiers: "Okay, okay, let's clean up here, you go back to rest." Come here tomorrow at dawn and have breakfast here. ”

These big soldiers were all sent by Chai Baochen to pick up Wei Su, and the gate was brave and good at fighting on weekdays, but when he packed up his things, he was really confused by the second monk. Hearing Guqin say that he could go back, he was so happy that he left the courtyard one by one.

Seeing the ten soldiers walking away, Guqin closed the door, revealing a subtle look of pride.

In Ningbo City, it was surprisingly quiet, the people who beat the guard were killed by the Japanese Invaders a few days ago, and no one took over for a while, so the whole Ningbo City could not hear a trace of movement. On weekdays, it shouldn't be like this. In densely populated, prosperous and wealthy cities, despite the curfew at night, from time to time there will be the sound of family laughter, children's crying, the sound of husband and wife playing, or the sound of students' evening recitation, and in some families, the squeak of a loom is very regular.

There were two family members at the door of the wealthy merchant surnamed Shen, and they looked around the courtyard wall, and when they saw patrolling soldiers passing by, they immediately shrank behind the big lion at the door and hid honestly. They thought that they had done a good job in the task of looking at the wind, but they didn't know that in the inn opposite, the four rooms facing the street were darkly lit, and the windows of each room had a pair of eyes looking at the home of a wealthy merchant surnamed Shen, and each room was full of twenty masters of the Shenji Company. They remained silent and waited quietly for orders.

"Lord Murakita, it's ugly now." A Japanese soldier came to report.

"Good! Listen, everyone, tonight, our task is to open the city gate, the inside and the outside, and kill the Ningbo officials by surprise, do you understand? Murashita lowered his voice, but his momentum remained undiminished.

"Yes!" The surrounding small leaders responded in unison.

The village turned around and looked at the wealthy merchant surnamed Shen, and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely succeed tonight, kill all the officers and soldiers in Ningbo, and rob the residents of their food." Then you can lend usury, and then the people will give you their land if they can't pay it back, so that you can get rich overnight. ”

"Not only that, I must revive the Shen family's business, thinking that my ancestor Shen Wansan is rich and rivals the country, even the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is very envious, and he has no choice but to be framed, and the family business has been ruined since then. Also, I don't just want to get rich overnight, I want these people who can't eat to revolt, and they want them to violently shake the rule of this court, it's up to you. If you can capture Ningbo, I will act as a guide for you, so that you can fight all the way to Nanjing. Ha ha! The rich businessman surnamed Shen smiled, seemingly a little crazy.

"You know, you are our friend, we will not treat you badly, when the time comes, we can share some of the things we have, so that you don't have to work so hard to compete with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Murashita said.

"Alright." The wealthy businessman surnamed Shen waved his hand and said, "Without further ado, you guys should hurry up!" ”

"Okay." With a wave of his hand, several Japanese leaders walked out, and the Japanese soldiers they brought over had already stood in the courtyard. Looking at these soldiers, the rich merchant surnamed Shen said to himself: "Go, you must teach the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty a hard lesson!" ”

Murashita gave his soldiers the last encouragement: "Tonight, we choose this moment to open the city gate unexpectedly, as soon as our people enter the city, they will definitely be able to kill those mediocre and incompetent corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, and the next three days will rob money, food, and women!" ”

Then the gate of the courtyard was opened, and the people of the village rushed out, all dressed in black, and walked quickly through the streets under the cover of night. As soon as the door of the wealthy businessman surnamed Shen was closed, "Bang bang!" As the gunshots rang out intensively, the wealthy businessman surnamed Shen looked up and saw that a row of rooms in the inn opposite were lit up with firecrackers, and the light flashed and the sound was terrifying. Then, gunfire rang out from the street not far away. Soon after, many dogs barked one after another. Listening to these chaotic voices, the wealthy businessman surnamed Shen made his butt on the sandalwood chair, and he showed a desperate look.

Then a group of officers and soldiers surrounded the Shen Mansion, slamming the door and shouting very harshly. The housekeeper ordered someone to hold the door, ran to the middle hall, and said, "Master, what should I do?" ”

"Don't do it!" After saying that, he walked into the study, took the thick stack of books from the shelf, and took out a small bottle from the shelf lattice, on which was written "Heding Red".
