Chapter 18 (4) The Manjia Compound
The two sentries were chatting in the courtyard, suddenly felt the breeze flashing behind their heads, and hurriedly turned back, the two black shadows had already flown in, the sentry was frightened, the knife and gun in his hand had not yet been raised, the black shadow had arrived in front of him, the action was extremely fast, the splitter grabbed the weapon, the stone lock was afraid of the sentry shouting, a punch was smashed, right in the temple, the sentinel's scream did not come out of his throat, and he fell to the ground with a bang. Over there, Dafeng's thin rope was thrown out, and in the dark, the shadow of the rope was not visible at all, and the other sentry only felt that his neck was tight, dizzy, and it was difficult to breathe, Dafeng took a step forward and stuck the sentry with one arm.
In a moment, the two sentries were all restrained, the stone lock and Dafeng cooperated seamlessly, nodded to each other, smiled knowingly, the stone lock stepped into front of the small ear room in two steps, saw a big lock on the door, twisted it with his hand, felt very strong, he took out the rope used to climb the wall, inserted the lock ring on the door with the iron claw on the rope head, twisted it hard, the lock ring had the thickness of a finger, it was originally firmly nailed to the wooden door, it was twisted by the stone lock, and made a "squeak" sound, Dafeng came over, grabbed the other side of the iron claw on the stone lock hand, and the two worked together, Forced the lock ring out of the wooden door.
Shi Suo slowly pushed open the wooden door, opened his eyes wide, and looked in, the night was dark, and he couldn't see his five fingers inside, and there was no sound, he said softly: "Hey." ”
Inside, there was a gentle "uh-huh" sound, it seemed that he couldn't speak, Shi Suo estimated that his mouth was blocked, so he touched into the house, followed the direction of the sound, touched forward for a while, and touched a chair, a person was tied to the chair, and the person sat on the chair, and the rope tied the chair together, and it was difficult to untie it, so he simply moved the chair and the person outside the house.
Dafeng came over, she untied the rope, much stronger than Shi Suo, hands and feet quickly untied the rope for a while, the "General Ding" through the moonlight, saw that the person who saved himself, turned out to be Shi Suo and Dafeng two "acquaintances", also surprised, after the rags in the mouth were taken out, whispered: "Why are you here?" ”
"Let's talk about it later." Shi Suo said.
At this time, the two sentries fainted on the ground, Shi Suo thought for a while, and said to Dafeng: "These two guys, we have to take them away for interrogation." ”
"Okay," Dafeng said, reaching out and picking one up. The sentry weighed more than 100 catties, Dafeng carried it in his hand, got up and left, "General Ding" couldn't help but praise softly: "Good skills." ”
Shi Suo picked up another sentry, and together with General Ding, walked out of the side courtyard, when General Ding was in front, Shi Suo and Dafeng were behind, quickly turned around, and came to the edge of the courtyard wall, Shi Suo threw the rope on the wall, and said to Dafeng: "You go first." ”
Dafeng dragged the rope and climbed up the wall in a few steps, Shi Suo tied the sentry with a rope, Dafeng lifted it up and put it outside the wall, and after the two sentries were carried out, Shi Suo and General Ding climbed outside along the rope.
Outside the wall, Professor Wan was already in a hurry, waiting to see through it, and finally saw Dafeng riding on the wall, sending down two unconscious people one after another, knowing that he had succeeded, he was very happy, but behind Shi Suo and Dafeng, a third person jumped down, especially when he saw that it was an acquaintance, he was also taken aback.
Several people carried the captives and quickly came to the outside of the village, and Professor Wan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know," Dafeng said, "The Manjia seems to have rebelled, and many people have been arrested, and this general has also been arrested, so we rescued him." ”
"I'm not a general," the man wrapped in the turban smiled, "My name is Ding Changyou, you can call me Lao Ding." ”
"Old Ding," Professor Wan looked at Ding Changyou, "What happened to the Manchu family?" ”
"I don't know, I came to Man's house because I was ordered to convey something, but as soon as I entered the courtyard, I was arrested by the second son, and I didn't even see the face of Master Man."
At this time, Shi Suo rubbed his head and slapped his face, and had woken up one, Professor Wan and others came around to interrogate, the prisoner was a family member, and when he saw several people around, he was so frightened that he couldn't help begging, Professor Wan said: "As long as you answer the question honestly, you will definitely be released." ”
"Yes, yes, thank you, King." The man took the crowd for a robber.
According to the confession of the family, the Manchu family is indeed a "rebellion", because the second son Man Zhonghua is usually mean and insidious, and he is not liked by the Manchu master, and the second son also regards his father and brother as enemies. So he conspired with his cronies, coerced his family, and suddenly made a difficulty, arresting and controlling Master Man and several henchmen.
"What benefits can the second son get from arresting his father?" Professor Wan asked suspiciously.
The family Ding said that the second son is only the word "money", the wealth of the family has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one can tell how much, the second son usually dislikes the master, seeing that the eldest brother Man Bohua has won the trust of his father, and he will inherit the family business in the future, and he is not happy everywhere, and he may end up empty-handed in the future, so he is impatient and rebels. ”
"Brute." Shi Suo scolded.
At this time, the second captive also woke up, and Professor Wan asked, "Is there a young man named 'Cui Dalong' among your family members?" Dafeng added next to him: "He is eighteen years old and has a mole in the middle of his left eyebrow. ”
"No," Jia Ding shook his head and said, "The two of us have entered Manchu Mansion in the past two years, and I don't know if there was such a Cui Dalong before." ”
Dafeng asked left and right, and the two captives repeatedly recalled that among all the servants, long-term workers, and servants in the Manchu family, there were no people who looked or had similar experiences to "Cui Dalong". Dafeng couldn't help but be disappointed.
Professor Wan comforted Dafeng and said: "The two of them are new here, maybe they used to have been, but now they have gone elsewhere, and it is not known, it is best to ask Master Man or older family members about this." ”
Shi Suo said: "I think, let's go and rescue Master Man and ask him face to face." ”
"I agree," Ding Changyou said beside him: "The infighting of the Man family, I didn't do our business, but I still have something to negotiate with the Man, even if you don't save it, I will save it." ”
"Old Ding," Professor Wan stared at Ding Changyou and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the military, right?" ”
"Yes," Ding Changyou was also refreshed, "I was rescued by you, I can't hide it, I was sent from Marshal Wu's mansion, and I came here on business, as for what happened, I would like to give you advice." ”
"Well," Professor Wan nodded, "We don't ask about your business, but we have the same interests at the moment, this rescue operation, I think, without further ado, we must do it immediately, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy, just now their two sentinels have been captured by us, after a long time, they will be discovered, and it will be difficult to save again." ”
"Yes, yes," Shi Suo and Dafeng both nodded in agreement.
Ding Changyou asked the family: "Where is Master Man locked up?" ”
"In that courtyard, in the next room to you, he locked up one alone, the eldest prince closed one, and the rest of the family was locked up in one big room."
After a brief discussion, it was decided that Professor Wan would continue to wait outside the wall, and the other three would return to the Manjia compound.
After this toss, the moon rose to the top of the head, it was nearly midnight to see the scene, Shi Suo and Dafeng climbed the wall with a rope again, pulled Ding Changyou up, in the night, the village was silent, in the courtyard of the whole house, there was no human figure, all the houses, flowers and trees, Yong Road, under the moonlight, a piece of white, very clear.
Suddenly, a "knock" sound came.
Shi Suo was about to jump into the wall, heard the sound, hesitated for a moment, listened carefully, the sound came from dozens of zhang, not far away, it should be the sound from the courtyard of the Manjia, the sound was dull, as if someone was smashing something with a hammer.
"Knock, goo," the voice continued.
The voice was unhurried and ringing, and Shi Suo whispered: "Whatever it is, down." Jumping off the wall, Dafeng and Ding Changyou followed closely and jumped into the courtyard.
There was no figure nearby, Shi Suo took the lead, tiptoed, and walked straight to the side courtyard where Ding Chang was detained just now, looking at it from front to back, left and right, it was empty, but the sound of "dong dong" was still coming.
"It's the sound of a pickaxe digging the ground." Dafeng leaned close to Shi Suo and said.
"Hmm." Shi Suo nodded, walked into the side courtyard and took a look, under the moonlight, the scenery was still the same, no one was seen, it seemed that Ding Changyou was rescued just now, and the family was taken away, but no one was found. Stone Lock was happy for a while. According to the prisoner's instructions in advance, he came to the main house in the courtyard, this small courtyard, the main room is three, the side room is full of ear rooms and wings, the stone lock took out the rope, and prepared to concoct it in the same way, and screwed the iron ring of the iron lock, Ding Changyou shook his head and said, "No." ”
He took out two wire-like things from his pocket, inserted them into the lock hole, and fiddled with them for a while, and the big iron lock made a crisp sound of "boom" and opened in response.
"Who?" There was a question from inside, and the voice sounded a little old.
"Master Man, it's me, I'm Ding Changyou." Ding Changyou said in a low voice and pushed open the door.
"Lao Ding? What are you doing here? The voice inside was full of surprise.
"I'll save you, let's go out."
Shi Suo and Dafeng stepped forward, and under the house, they found a chair, and a person was tied to the chair, just like Ding Chang just now, but his mouth was not blocked. The two of them hurriedly untied the rope, and the old man touched the dark and said: "That time, I heard a noise in the courtyard, and I guess there might be something, but I didn't expect Lao Ding to come and save me, I really didn't expect it." ”
Ding Changyou didn't have time to talk to him at this time, turned around and went out of the house to save the boss Man Bohua, Shi Suo and Dafeng removed the rope on the old man, the old man was too old because he was old, he was tied up for too long, he was exhausted, and he couldn't stand up, Shi Suo and Dafeng were one on each side, and they helped the old man out of the house, and saw that Ding Changyou had already opened several rooms where the detainees were held.
Master Man trembled and said, "Let's go and kill this beast." ”
"Don't worry," Shi Suo said, "You move slowly first, and I'll go and untie the eldest prince and them." ”
"Bohua is back?" Master Man didn't know that Man Bohua had also been arrested.
Shi Suo had no time to explain to him, flew into the various houses, and untied the ropes of the tied Man Bohua and others, and after a while, Man Bohua and several arrested family members were rescued, and in the small courtyard, there were many people standing, and everyone was taken out of the rags blocked in their mouths, and they couldn't help but scold angrily, but they were all stopped by Ding Changyou, "Don't speak." ”
"Master Man," Ding Changyou walked up, "Now let's escape first, as for how to deal with the second son, we will discuss it after we go out." ”
"Okay."
Shi Suo and Dafeng took out a table from the house, put it under the courtyard wall, and then put two chairs on the table, set up a two-story platform, everyone carried Master Man, boarded the table, tied his body with a rope, Man Bohua climbed the wall to hug his father, slowly put him outside the wall, Professor Wan caught it from below.
The rest, one by one, stepped onto the table and jumped out of the courtyard wall. At this time, the sound of "cooing" in the courtyard was still coming out. Master Man scolded: "This beast must be digging the ground indiscriminately, trying to find something buried." ”
I see, Shi Suo and the others all understood that this voice was the second son of Man digging the ground to find treasures, thinking that the old man had buried his belongings and was known by the second son, so he dug three feet into the ground in the middle of the night to find treasures, and everyone couldn't help but be a little funny.
Ding Changyou said: "Master Man, now that we have escaped, whether to go away and fly high, or negotiate with the second son, we have to listen to your old opinion." ”
"Bohua, you go find your second uncle and them." Master Man commanded.
"Yes," Man Bohua took a family member and galloped away. Old Man Man's face was full of anger, and his beard trembled, "Go away and fly high? It's impossible, I'm going to grab the second brute with my own hands. ”
