Chapter 231: Hunting
There is not a single guard in the courtyard of a dignified Zheng Mansion, and the lights are blind, and anyone who sees this situation will have an ominous premonition. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two men in black had been hiding for almost an hour, but they didn't find anything, and they had already begun to wonder if this was the so-called empty city plan. After discussing in a low voice, they decided that one of them would go out first.
The two sneaky guys were actually exposed to other people's noses early in the morning, and it should be said that they were targeted as soon as they came out. The hundred dead soldiers led by Li Ba had already been distributed around Xicheng and Zheng's Mansion, secretly monitoring all movements.
Tang Ming was still in the study at the moment, the old butler was waiting outside the door, a small oil lamp was lit in the room, and a subordinate hurriedly came, whispered a few words in the old butler's ear and turned to leave.
The old butler knocked on the door and shouted into the house, "Young master, it is late at night, and Madame has called someone to call you back to rest." ”
There was no response in the house, only a slight noise came and the door was opened, Tang Ming said to the old housekeeper with a smile on his face: "Uncle Zheng, you should also go back to rest, it is cold outside in the middle of the night, I don't want to go to you when you stay outside this door, young master, I will arrange a clever little guy to serve in the future, and you can rest a lot." ”
Tang Ming didn't mean to dislike the old housekeeper at all when he said these words, but the old housekeeper misunderstood, he thought that Tang Ming disliked his old age and didn't want him to serve, and the old man was about to cry when he saw it.
Tang Ming was in a hurry, what he was most afraid of in his life was that others would cry, whether it was a woman or a man, especially the old housekeeper, he had wanted Uncle Zheng to be idle and enjoy happiness more than once, but the old man was dead-eyed, and every time he mentioned letting him rest, he would tear down.
Tang Ming, who was helpless, rolled his eyes and could only change his words: "Okay, okay, if you want to serve, young master, I originally wanted you to have a good rest now, save your energy and wait for the child in Jialan's belly to be born in the future, you can help bring it, but now it seems that it is still forgotten!" ”
Like tonight he was actually just putting on a show in the study, creating an opportunity for the two thieves, and a fake drawing was placed on the desk in the study at the moment. Waiting for the person who should come to pick it up, but halfway through, the old butler stabbed him sideways.
He saw that Tang Ming was still working hard in the study in the middle of the night, and immediately loyally guarded outside and refused to leave, Tang Ming naturally wouldn't tell the old housekeeper about the secret plan, but he just stayed outside the door, how could this work, so that he didn't have to serve him but didn't listen.
In the case of no choice, Tang Ming could only make this decision in the end, but he didn't expect that the old housekeeper seemed to be very interested, and after chasing Tang Ming to ask him clearly, he happily went back to sleep, saying that he wanted to take care of his body and serve the little master in the future.
Seeing the back of the old housekeeper gradually moving away, Tang Ming suddenly felt a little emotional, and he didn't know if he would always be full of nostalgia for his family like the old housekeeper when he got old. Shaking his head, it's too early to think about this, or to think about what is in front of you is the truth.
As soon as Tang Ming left, the entire small courtyard immediately quieted down, and the two thieves came here secretly, and actually boldly walked around the courtyard blatantly. Since entering the Zheng Mansion, they have not met anyone, and although they are very confused, they have gradually become bold over time.
When the two of them saw that the light was still on in one of the rooms, they became alert, and then hid again to observe in the shadows, and waited until they were sure that there was no problem before slowly approaching the room with the light on.
A small hole in the window paper was made and a peek inside, and the room was empty, and there was a large bookshelf full of books. The two immediately understood that this was supposed to be a study.
One of the men in black gently pushed the door, and when he found that it was locked, he immediately motioned to the people around him to try the window, but it opened as soon as he pushed it. Overjoyed, the two climbed through the window and entered.
On a large tree in the courtyard, two black shadows hidden in the dense foliage suddenly sneered.
"People like this dare to come to the Zheng Mansion to be thieves, I really don't know why their master would send two such fools to carry out the mission. The trap arranged by Hou Ye in a hurry, but anyone with a little brain can definitely see that something is wrong, but you look at the stupid look of these two guys, if I am their master, I will be angry and vomit blood. ”
Another voice sounded: "Don't put gold on your face, people are here with a purpose, Hou Ye said, the plan doesn't need to be detailed at all, as long as the goal can be achieved." You see that these two people were obviously assigned some task by their master, and they haven't tried to find out the problem for so long, and if it were you, you would be confused unconsciously. ”
The person who spoke first was silent for a moment, and seemed to feel that his companion was reasonable, and nodded in approval before saying no more. stared intently at the two thieves rummaging through the cabinets in the study.
After some busyness, the two men in black seemed to be a little tired, just now they searched almost all the books on the large shelves in the study, and did not find the treasure ship drawings that the master wanted.
When they were disappointed, the two were about to change places, and when they just moved to the side of the case, they finally saw more than a dozen drawings on the case. The two of them rushed up with joy on their faces and checked carefully, and finally determined that it was what their master was looking for.
At this moment, the two of them were overjoyed, excitedly put away a few drawings each, and nodded carefully after making sure that nothing was left behind. After leaving the courtyard smoothly and returning to the backyard of the Zheng Mansion, the two no longer went back together, but divided their things.
This sudden behavior made the people who had been secretly monitoring them feel inexplicable, but after a quick pause in their minds, they immediately understood. These two people are still a little clever, for the safety of the drawings, they actually separated the drawings, each hid a few and went back separately, so that even if they were targeted, they could get out well.
But this time their careful approach is simply superfluous, there are more than a hundred people secretly monitoring them, and even if the two of them are separated, it will be useless.
The man in black had just left, but Zheng Fu suddenly woke up from his sleep, jumping up and down. Far away from the Zheng Mansion, the two black-clothed men could faintly hear the shouts of catching thieves coming from the Zheng Mansion.
The two of them were slightly stunned, neither of them expected that the seemingly lifeless Zheng Mansion would react so quickly. Thinking of this, both of them felt that the movement in the mansion just now had not attracted attention, and it should be a fluke that they could successfully steal the drawings, not that there were no guards in the Admiral's Mansion of the Naval Division.
The speed of running increased again, and the two men in black had begun to panic at this moment. (To be continued.) )
