Chapter 160: Night Thief (Subscription Requested)
It was dark, and the moon had not yet risen. The heat had not yet dissipated, there was no wind, and the stench of silt in the moat wafted through the air.
The main roads in the west are lit with halos. There were no pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a group of night watchmen passed by, and the sound of scabbards clanging. At the time of the shift, there is a changfu knocking on the bang and swimming, and the cry of "the weather is dry and dry, be careful of the fire candle" is spread far away in the dark night lane.
There is a side courtyard by the Xiangzha Bridge, there is no light, you can look carefully, and you can vaguely see the yellowish candlelight coming out of the window.
In the glimmer room, four people met and looked at a piece of hemp paper.
"I've explained it all, and now I understand it all, right?" Tong Hang gently knocked on the wooden table and asked in a low voice.
Ma Chenghai, Hanzi and Chen Ji nodded.
"Memorize topographic maps." Tong Hang said: "There are only four of us tonight, there is no answer, no reinforcements. Brother Hai took the lead, I followed, Chen Ji broke off, and Hanzi was in the middle. After succeeding, Hanzi carries the glass, and Brother Hai and Chen Ji are broken! ”
Ma Chenghai and the three of them nodded, indicating that they understood.
"Change your clothes!" Tong Hang gave an order, and the four of them immediately changed into night clothes, hung various tools of navigation design around their waists, and held a wrist knife on their forearms.
"Childe ......"
"Don't talk!" Tong Hang interrupted Hanzi's voice and said, "Perform tasks at night, only use sign language!" I'll say it now, remember, under no circumstances, don't make a sound, and if you run away, come back here and join you at once! To talk, immediately hold the other person's hand, clench your fist to the enemy, and stretch out your arm to point in the direction! Shoot the palm! Press your head and shoulders to get down! Push back and pull back is to retreat! Stand by with your shoulders and palms on your shoulders! Got it? ”
Ma Chenghai nodded heavily, and his breathing couldn't help but become heavy. This method is simple and easy!
There was a soft pop, and the room went dark.
"This is someone's firewood house, whether you go out or come in, you must be light and do not make a sound, so as not to be discovered by the Lord's house." Tong Hang said softly: "Now wait for three moments!" ”
In addition to the street lamps on the main road, the rest of the dim lights gradually went out. Slowly, a bright moon rose from the depths of the eastern city. Silhouettes of trees and houses, cast on the streets, mottled and blurred. The lights on the street became more and more dim, and the husband knocked on the bang, extinguishing the dead wind lamps one by one. The interval between patrols has also changed from half an hour to an hour.
In the side courtyard next to the Xiangzha Bridge, four figures quietly climbed out of the courtyard wall and disappeared into the shadows of the trees beside the road.
Tong Hang followed behind Ma Chenghai, looking left and right, no one! Gently pat Ma Chenghai on the back and stretch out his front fingers. Ma Chenghai nodded lightly, jumped out of the shadow of the tree, and rushed towards the entrance of the street in front.
Then Tong Hang and the other three also rushed out one after another, followed Ma Chenghai to the corner of the street, and got into the shadow of an old locust tree.
At the crossroads, there was no one in all directions.
Tong Hang reached out and patted Ma Chenghai's shoulder, suggesting that they were squatting. He thought about it in his mind, popped out the wrist-unwielding knife in his hand, and jumped out, instantly bursting out of the shadow of the tree, and rushing along the corner of the wall.
Hanzi just stood up and was held down by Ma Chenghai. Chen Ji in the back, nervously scanning the two main roads behind.
Before the tea was done, a figure in front of him scurried back.
Tong Hang didn't come out of the atmosphere, drilled back into the shadow of the tree, pulled the horse into the sea, turned around and ran out of the shadow of the tree, and fled ahead.
Ma Chenghai hurriedly stood up, hinting to follow behind. Hanzi couldn't bear it anymore, so he hurriedly pulled Chen Ji and followed Ma Chenghai closely, but his eyes were staring at Tong Hang in front of him.
Tong Hang ran along this high wall, in the shadows of the trees that came and went.
This high wall is the back wall of the glaze factory, which is three people high, and it is five meters high in later generations. All of them are made of green bricks, and even the brick joints are tightly built with lime and mashed glutinous rice.
After coming to the crossing point where Chen Ji and Li Luoqing surveyed, Tong Hang, Ma Chenghai and others stood in the shadow of the tree, looking around vigilantly.
Across the street is a small workshop, from which most of the small glass products of the Ming Dynasty are sent to various prefectures, and they are all gadgets, such as glass spheres and ground glass mirrors. The glass produced by the glaze factory, the mirror surface is much whiter, not like the ground glass mirror of the small workshop, the mirror is not yellow, and the lens is larger than the small workshop, and it is mostly the sought-after goods of the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen.
At this time, although the small workshops were closed, the yard was still brightly lit, and it was estimated that they were all working at night. For the sake of business, small workshop owners never think about the life and death of their workers! The sound of rushing water and the sound of sand rubbing are very clear in this quiet night.
Tong Hang saw that there was no one around, and nodded at the eyes of Ma Chenghai and the others. A few people turned around, faced the high wall, untied the rope around their waists, threw it, only heard a few slight clicks, pulled the rope, and they climbed up when they saw that it was firm.
Climbing up the wall, the four of them were busy lowering the rope on the other side, and the rope outside was half retracted. Riding on the wall, looking in, the glazed factory under the moonlight in front of you is a tall and heavy building, only to see the northwest corner of the warehouse under the sentry, the sentry walks, the sentry stands in a forest.
This side of the wall is separated from the northwest corner storehouse only a few attics, which are the bedrooms of the craftsmen's door. At this time, the dormitory was silent, and it was estimated that the craftsmen had already slept peacefully. This is the difference between the government workshop and the small workshop, the small workshop is the private property of the owner, mainly for profit, except for the main craftsman for employment, most of the other craftsmen are sold as slaves, basically used until they are scrapped. The government workshop has a strict work and rest time, and everything is carried out in accordance with the laws and regulations.
Tong Hang waved his hand, and the four of them slid down quietly. As soon as their feet touched the ground, they scattered and parted, disappearing into the shadows of the trees and the moon in the attic.
Tong Hang quietly dived to the side of the warehouse, and when Ma Chenghai and the three of them saw it, they hurriedly fanned to follow.
Passing through an attic, you will see the main entrance of the storeroom. This storehouse is actually a small quadrangle courtyard with one entry and three layers, and the main gate is the main gate of this small courtyard, and there are two teams of sentry posts and four sentry posts at the door. The sentry passes every half hour, and the sentry rotates every three quarters. Except for the main entrance, there is no place to enter.
As soon as You Sentry left, Tong Hang made a few gestures towards Ma Chenghai and the others. Ma Chenghai couldn't help frowning, what does this mean?
Chen Ji next to him nodded again and again, he glanced at the head of the sea, and couldn't help but feel excited! Although the head of the sea is an old Jianghu, hehe, there is something that is not as good as my little pawn?
Tong Hang pulled the fool, and the two turned to the other side of the attic. Ma Chenghai turned around and was about to follow, but was stopped by Chen Ji. Ma Chenghai was about to ask, but saw Chen Ji pressing his finger to his mouth to signal not to make a sound, so he had to suppress his doubts.
Chen Ji waved his hand, holding the wrist knife in his hand, turned around and touched it to different sides, and Ma Chenghai had to follow.
Tong Hang took Hanzi to the corner of the attic, looked over, but saw the four sentries standing upright, not moving at all. It seems that those people are all in the army, not Jinyiwei, if Jinyiwei has such a standing posture, otherwise he would have been selected into the palace as a Han general.
Tong Hang pressed the Hanzi who bowed behind him, and the Hanzi hurriedly lay on the ground. Tong Hang leaned down and crawled forward on the ground. Slowly crawled towards the root of the wall of the opposite warehouse, and the man behind him also quietly squirmed......
"Damn, it's another pair of don't ten! Stinky hands! A stout man with one drooping eyelid slapped a pair of wooden cards on the table in his hand, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu go to Xiaojie!" Spread the bad luck! ”
"One-eyed, don't think about Laipi, redeem the lost money first and then go!" The thin and capable old man on the side smiled: "If you lose, you blame your stinky hands, did you chop your hands?" ”
"Who wants to be laid? Lao Tzu just wants to pee, or ask Xiao Sun to follow me! The rough-eyed man shouted.
"I ...... I'm not going. A young man at the table cringed and said, "Last time I went with me, I asked for a few taels of silver and still haven't paid it back." ”
"One-eyed, do you still want to borrow money from your grandson this time?" The old man smiled gloomily: "Your mother-in-law also can't be a person, and the broken silver will not be left to you?" ”
"Don't deceive people too much, I'm not a soft persimmon with one eye!" The man with drooping eyelids said with a flushed face: "Lao Gan, Lao Tzu respects you for your old age, don't always be unmoral!" ”
"Get out! on you! The old man shouted: "The old man is so virtuous, if there is a kind, he will fight!" ”
The man lifted his feet and left, dry fight? Fools do! What can you do if you can't beat it?
"Godmaster, amazing!" The young man hurriedly gave his thumb up and patted the old man's ass.
The old man smiled: "Boy, what is this kind of person polite to him?" Bed bugs in general. ”
The young man didn't dare to speak, there was another one next to him! It's okay to eat the wrong meal, but if you say the wrong thing, you'll die!
One-eyed muttered out of the door, looked left and right, saw that there was no movement at the sentry, and said angrily: "Blind? ”
Several sentries hurriedly turned their heads and shouted with laughter: "The only master is hard! ”
"Lao Tzu is not hard, mother, Lao Tzu pees, come to live with Lao Tzu!"
The four sentry posts looked at each other.
One of them hurriedly said: "Duye, the godmaster will come out in a while, and the little ones will ......"
"The only grandfather, are you his son or grandson?" The rough man said evilly: "What? Lao Tzu's words are not good? ”
"Good to make, good to make!" The sentry cried with a sad face and said, "The little one will go with the only master!" Why didn't the only master solve it in it? ”
"Hehe, I'm going to pee in the attic where the craftsmen live, can you handle it?"
The sentry suddenly understood that this was going to pee, to rob money! He didn't dare not go, but if he went, if it happened, he would become a top cylinder! It's a hard life!
Seeing the sentry's bitter face, the one-eyed man's heart suddenly refreshed, and with a wave of his hand, he walked towards the attic where the craftsmen lived in front of him......
"Boy, get some food. It's three o'clock, right? I'm so hungry. The one-eyed kid must have gone to get the money again, and when he comes back, who knows when. The old man said to the young man, "Go, go!" ”
The young man got up and went to the back kitchen.
"Let's go, follow the old man to check it out." The old man said to the middle-aged man sitting across from him squinting and taking a nap.
The middle-aged man opened his eyes and said, "Godmaster, let's stop, it's so late, who will come to pay attention to the glass?" ”
"Who's to say it won't? If there is any accident, it won't be the old man who will bear it alone, and none of you will be able to escape! The old man stood up and said, "Hugh is noisy, just get up and go with me!" ”
"Okay, okay, just go." The middle-aged man replied impatiently, stood up, and followed the old man upstairs......
The three sentry posts at the gate heard a sound on the other side of the courtyard wall, and they couldn't help but look at each other a few times. One of them said, "You two stand here, I'll take a look!" ”
The other two nodded, speechless.
The sentry drew his saber and walked to the corner.
"Hey, why is it just the two of you?" The peeing man came back and found that there were only two sentry posts, and shouted angrily.
"Master, there was a noise over there just now, I don't know if there was a wild cat, a brother went over to take a look." One of the sentries hurriedly replied.
One-Eye frowned and asked, "How long have you been there?" ”
"It's been a while."
"For a while?" One-Eyed said angrily, "Did you go to sleep under the tree over there?" Damn, I'm going to take a look, if you're lazy, you'll be lazy! After saying that, he ran over there angrily.
"This big fire, didn't you get anything?" When the two sentries saw that One-Eye was gone, they hurriedly whispered to their brother who had returned with One-Eye.
"Those poor craftsmen, what money do they have to rob, what else can they do except beat them?"
"Brother, you didn't enter the door, did you?" The two sentries asked in unison.
"How dare I? If I was seen by those poor ghosts, Director Liuli asked, that brother I must not be unjustly killed. ”
The three sentry posts were straight, chatting quietly at the door.
One-eyed saw a man lying under a tree in front of him, with his back against the trunk.
Damn! Sure enough, I'm lazy! The anger that One-Eye had just received on the poor ghost's side was suddenly stimulated. Those poor ghosts actually dare to shout and say that they want to tell the director that Lao Tzu will not dare to kill you, otherwise one by one!
One-Eyed walked over and kicked the kid. Damn, sleep so hard? Lift your foot and kick it again.
The light flashed in front of him, and he instinctively retreated. I only felt a pain in the Adam's apple, and my heart twitched, and I realized that I had a secret plan.
He opened his mouth and shouted, only a pop at his neck.
A big hand stretched out on the back of his neck, grabbed his chin, his neck hurt, and his eyes froze, and he was shocked to find that he actually saw the person behind him. A tall and rough man, grinning at himself with a big mouth, his eyes were dark, and there was nothing left......
The three sentries chatted and chatted, and at last they didn't say anything and fell silent.
"Has the only master been gone for too long, will he kill Brother Yu with his irritable temper?" A sentry said coldly.
The other two couldn't help but look at him, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt yes.
"But what can we do? Brother Yu is really, didn't he just go to see a movement? Why don't you sleep? ”
"Will it be ......?"
The three of them looked at each other again, there was a possibility, they didn't want to think about it, but now at this moment, they couldn't help but think about it.
"No, who is the only master, even if there is something, can he still pick it up?"
The other two listened to it too!
"Don't go, if you make the only master unhappy, be careful of the flesh and skin!"
"Muttering what?" An old man's voice came from inside the door.
When the three sentries heard this, they immediately fell silent.
The old man and the middle-aged man walked out.
"Huh? Why are there only you? The old man asked in surprise.
"Duye and a brother went on patrol over there." A sentry hurriedly replied.
"When did this one-eyed know how to do things?" The old man couldn't help but be a little strange and said, "How long have you been there?" ”
"It's been a while, and I guess it's going to be over soon."
"Godmaster, since the one-eyed brother has gone, it saves us from going out again. Let's go back and drink two cups. The middle-aged man spoke.
The old man nodded and replied, "It's okay, since the sun has risen in the west, it is also the sun after all." Okay, back! Drink two cups and go! ”
The old man and the middle-aged man turned around and went in again.
After the two of them entered, a sentry said in a low voice: "Why do you say that, what if something really happens to Duye and Brother Yu?" ”
"Let's go take a look, you stay here, shout if something happens!"
The two sentries drew their sabers and walked towards One-Eye......
Chen Ji and Ma Chenghai were numb in their legs while squatting. I saw the two sentry posts heading towards Tong Hang's side, and knew that his side had succeeded.
Chen Ji pulled out the strengthened crossbow on his back, and when Ma Chenghai saw it, he was busy helping to pull the strings. Chen Ji pulled out a crossbow arrow, loaded it, and slowly raised it, aiming at the sentry.
Peng made a slight sound, and with a whoosh, a black shadow shot over. Before the sentry could figure out what was going on, he fell headlong to the ground.
Chen Ji flew over, the sword flashed, and the blood on the sentry's neck sprayed his face.
Ma Chenghai hurriedly ran out, picked up the two legs of the sentry, lifted it up, and ran under the shadow of the tree.
On the other side, two people rushed out, it was Tong Hang and Hanzi.
The four of them were silent, and they would rush straight to the door in unison......
"That's not right." The old man stopped his glass and said, "It doesn't feel right to think about it." ”
The middle-aged man said while picking up vegetables: "Godlord, what's wrong again?" ”
"Who is One-Eyed? He is a master who can only instruct others, why is he so enthusiastic today that he will personally go on patrol? In the past, when he was asked to go, he always went to the door slowly, and instructed the brothers at the door to go, so why ...... now?"
"Godmaster, you're thinking too much. I know this one-eyed brother best, didn't I lose money tonight? The middle-aged man put down his chopsticks and said, "I guess he must have gone to the craftsman's attic to grab the money first." What time is it, it's the beginning of June. ”
"What's going on in June?" The old man couldn't help asking, "Is it good luck to rob money?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "That's not true. Those craftsmen haven't received the money yet, where did they get the money to rob? ”
"Don't you have a month of money for May? Those poor ghosts, one money is two money, there must be money on them, but they can't grab it with one eye. The old man shook his head and said, "It's not what you said, he must have grabbed the money." ”
"Hehe, his temper, if he had grabbed the money, he would have come back a long time ago." The middle-aged man picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "I'm afraid those craftsmen's monthly money for May will have already been taken home." At this time, he must be penniless. The one-eyed brother, who never knows how to do things, didn't grab the money this time, and got into a rut. Will the director spare him tomorrow? He must have gone to the brothers at the door to vent his anger. ”
"That makes sense." The old man picked up his glass, tilted his neck, and drank it all. smiled: "Hehe, this is also a positive time for him!" ”
The two of them no longer talked about the one-eyed, but talked about the thighs of those girls in Fireworks Willow Lane, and when it came to happiness, they drank too much...... (To be continued.) )
