Chapter 42: The Courtyard is Frightened
This is exactly what Wang Chao just left with the front foot, and Wu Songlin rushed to the back foot. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] It's just one step, but the outcome is very different.
Wu Songlin rushed to the Wang Po Tea House, and saw that there were lamps and candles upstairs and downstairs, so he didn't think much about it, so he directly cut off the big lock with a knife, and ran upstairs with the lamps downstairs in his hands.
It turned out that the lights and candles upstairs and downstairs were all when Wang Chao walked away, afraid that the old lady would really drink high, and when she came back, the lights would be blind and she would stumble somewhere.
When I went upstairs, I saw that the lights were on, and there was no one in the room.
Wu Song didn't want to be empty-handed, so he opened all the cages of Wang Po, except for the one hundred and sixty taels of silver he paid, there was only half of the loose money.
Wu Song took the silver back into his arms, thought about it, took out another twenty taels and said, "Half of the meeting, Brother Lin should not be too little." ”
Lin Chong looked at this bit of silver tael, and said with a smile: "This is all the silver you earned from the old goods, and now it is returned to the original owner." ”
Wu Song didn't mention it anymore, let the two minions divide the loose money, and hurriedly went back to the inn to discuss with the military advisor. Even the door was not closed.
When the wild cat saw the two fierce men, he hid out of the window, and when he saw a few people leaving, he swaggered upstairs and rejoiced, and regarded this place as his own home.
Wang Chao supported the lady for a short time, and also approached the courtyard where the cage table was delivered during the day. I saw that the courtyard door was locked, and there were few figures moving, and there were faint lights flickering in the courtyard room.
Wang Chao was about to walk towards the gate, but was tightly dragged by the lady and pulled behind a big tree next to him. Wang Chao was about to shout, but the lady covered his mouth and whispered to him not to squeak.
The woman looked to the right and left, and still uneasy, dragged along a narrow alley beside the courtyard wall to a corner.
Wang Chao was surprised: "Lady, what are you doing?" ”
The lady pointed to a tall jujube tree in the yard, and the thick branches stretched to the outer edge of the wall, and she was a little flustered.
Wang Chao asked, "You mean this jujube tree, don't you recognize it?" ”
The lady said: "This is the courtyard where the newcomer Wu Song lives?" ”
Wang Chao said: "Yes, let you come, but you won't come." I called for a car to bring the cage table. The stone ball in the mouth of the stone lion at the door is painted red, how could I be mistaken? ”
The lady said: "This was originally the courtyard of Ximen Qing's family, and the house diagonally opposite is the ancestral property of Ximen Qing on Lion Street. This time the lawsuit was swallowed up by the great eunuch of Tokyo. Only let an old man take care of it, saying that it was quite elegant and quiet inside, and he came to live in the Mid-Autumn Festival. How did it become Wu Song's new house? ”
Wang Chao asked, "Why are you so sure?" You know this black light? ”
The lady said: "There are five or six jujube trees in the corner here, and next to the jujube trees is a small forest. When I was a child, I often came to steal dates to eat, how can I not remember? If you don't believe it, you see, there are a few bricks and stones under this branch that have already been taken down by a few friends, and they can be used to step on their feet and be easy to climb. ”
Wang Chao saw the lady come to the wall, stretched out her hand and touched the wall, and sure enough, she took out two large pieces of masonry and put them under her feet. At this time, even a fool can see that there must be something strange in it.
It turns out that although this yard is not large, there are many flowers and trees. The houses in the courtyard are also scattered, and it is only when the woman was a teenager that she often climbed, so she was very familiar with the path in the courtyard. In her words, even if you close your eyes, you can't go wrong.
Wang Chao was concerned about the old lady at this time and said, "Otherwise, I'll sneak in and investigate." Otherwise, I will always feel uneasy. ”
The lady said: "Now the moon is in the sky, and it appears from time to time." How do you get in. Why don't I go in with you, just stay by my side, and don't make a sound. ”
The two of them said they would do it, and they both climbed the wall first. The woman jumped down quietly, stood on top of a tuft of grass, and slowly took Wang Chao down.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the two touched the outside of the house, saw a candle flame inside, and squatted under the window to eavesdrop on whether there was a sound inside.
I heard a minion complaining: "They all went to the inn to rest, but only we were left to guard, this Wu Song too, a few people went to catch a couple at this time." I am not afraid of the military advisor to blame. ”
The other laughed and said, "Aren't there still the king's leaders and that beautiful woman accompanying us?" ”
The previous minion said: "He's just afraid that he's looking for happiness, so he can't take care of us." This Wu Song is also ruthless, an old man actually broke his heart and had to cut off his head. ”
Wang Chao was shocked when he heard it outside the window, and heard the sound of a long knife in the house, and thought about what happened, and quietly asked the lady to stand on her shoulder to see what was going on.
The lady stepped on Wang Chao's shoulder and slowly stood up, leaning sideways and slowly looking down the pane.
I heard a minions say, "Hurry up and catch someone, and you can burn it clean." ”
The woman was startled, tilted her head, and put her hands on the wall, peeking inside. But when he saw a headless corpse on the ground, he had already lost his breath, and blood was flowing all over the ground. Blowing by the wind along a crack in the door, I saw that the head of the mother-in-law in front of the spirit card was still wide-eyed.
How the woman had seen this, she staggered, and fell down. Fortunately, there was grass on the ground, and Wang Chao stretched out his hand to pull it, but it still made a sound.
It turned out that the window was very high, and the sound alarmed the two minions and walked towards the window.
The woman touched the ground with one hand, and just held a small stone, and she was also in a hurry, and threw it into the distance, and learned a few cat meows. The atmosphere did not dare to come out, and it was attached to the ground. Wang Chao also stuck to the wall.
I heard the minions say, "But a wild cat, you're so worried." ”
Another minion said, "Look at that moon, it's so weird." It's still the moon hanging high in the middle of the night, nothing will happen, right? ”
The first minion said: "Bah, you have a crow's mouth, and your head has been cut off by Wu Song, what else can you do?" ”
Wang Chao and the lady waited for the people in the house to walk away before slowly leaving. Walking far away, among a flower bush, the woman told Wang Chao that her mother-in-law had been killed.
Wang Chao was sad in his heart, but he didn't dare to cry, he just hugged his mother. It took a while to calm down.
Wang Chao asked: "Do you have any way to avenge the old lady and take back the old lady's body, so as not to separate the corpse." ”
The lady shook her head and said, "It's full of strongmen who kill people without blinking." How do we resist? Unless you go to report to the officer, call the officers and soldiers to arrest them. ”
Wang Chao said: "That lady, you go to report to the official, I will stay here." ”
The lady said: "It's better for you to report to the official." I'm a woman who went to report to the official, how can the old men believe it. Besides, I am very familiar with this place, and I can't go wrong. It's better for you to find a familiar armor first and go together. ”
Wang Chao didn't have a good idea, so he had to rely on his wife. The two secretly returned to the jujube tree, Wang Chao climbed the wall and turned out, and the lady was still guarding the courtyard.
