(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )

This is Guangxi, not Fujian, and we must be careful and careful in our actions. Gu Ping's people scattered, some dressed as beggars, some dressed as ordinary people, some dressed as rich children, and a few pretended to be merchants, and a group of people gathered around the prefect's yamen from all different directions.

Guping is now located two blocks away from the prefect's yamen, where there is a fruit shop that sells pastries and dried fruits, doing the business of these wealthy families in the city, the door is neat and magnificent, and the guys who stand at the door and greet customers at the counter are relatively well-dressed. When the guy at the door was looking around, he saw a tall man in ragged clothes and a beard walking towards the door, and he hurriedly shouted: "Go aside, our shop is not a poor man like you......"

Before he finished speaking, he swallowed it, and the poor man strode over, his tall figure was very oppressive, and when he was nervous, the poor man smiled and asked: "This little brother, I have a relative who works as an errand at Mrs. Wu's house, and I will ask you, does Mrs. Wu live in the backyard of the yamen?" ”

The guy at the fruit shop said with an impatient face, "Send this poor man away, or standing at the door of the store will really affect the business." Gu Ping's expectations were not bad, this Wu Pingfeng really lived in the prefect's yamen. Under normal circumstances, county officials live in the county office, but the government is not necessarily, and most of them go outside to buy a house. Maybe this Mrs. Wu likes it here and doesn't change places.

In that case, it's easy to do. These prefect yamen are basically left by the former Ming Dynasty. The overall pattern is the same. Since the Ming Dynasty. The Fuzhou County Government also imitates the system of the six central departments, with six rooms for officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, corresponding to the six central departments. Therefore, there are strict rules in each place, so you don't have to worry about getting lost or finding a place to run inside.

After dark, the city of Guilin was noisy for another hour, and then quickly fell into darkness and silence. In addition to the sound of the night watchman's bang, there are just a few dog barks in the city. This is similar in cities across the country, but now the two ports in Fuzhou are exceptions, where tens of thousands of workers work in shifts, some of them very late, so the night market is very lively.

Gu Ping took five people, and after wandering around for a long time, he came to the back door of the mansion after dark, and the back door was not as grand as the front door, just a small door for a sedan chair to enter and exit. This is not a street, but a small alley. It's not a dead end, but it doesn't matter if it's a night watchman or someone else. You don't usually come here.

A few people huddled in the darkness of this alley, even if someone passed by, they couldn't find it, and there was a lot of noise in the backyard of the prefect's yamen, obviously drinking and feasting. The aroma of wine and meat wafted into the alley, making a few people who hadn't eaten dinner swallow their mouths. However, Gu Ping immediately thought that this wine and meat were actually the flesh and blood of those poor people, and only anger remained in his heart. This is what the prince ordered, and it is the first time that he has done things according to the orders of the prince, and he must do it beautifully.

As the night deepened, the entire city of Guilin fell into silence, the temperature at night was a little low, and there seemed to be some dew on their bodies, but a few of them were still motionless there. Around the third watch, the night watchman walked through the alley with a bangzi, and he was also fast-paced, and he didn't turn his head to see what movement was in the alley.

Listening to the sound of bangzi gradually moving away, several people straightened up, gently moved their numb hands and feet, and then changed into pure black clothes, and then covered with scarves. Standing in this dark alley, the figures of several people blended into the darkness, even if someone stood close, it was not easy to find.

The short knife was inserted in the belt, and Gu Ping took a few people to climb up with ease on the walls on both sides, but fortunately, there were no glass fragments on the wall in this era, and a few people easily climbed over the wall and landed in the courtyard. After landing, there was a tumbling, although there was a little movement, but the sound was really weak, and everyone around did not alarm anything. This is the prefect's yamen, there must be soldiers patrolling the night, but nothing has happened in the past few years, and these officials are also very slack, besides, this is the prefect's backyard, and it is enough to patrol the night once a day, just right, the night patrol has been seen before the third watch!

Although he knew the layout of the prefect's yamen, he couldn't be sure where Wu Pingfeng was sleeping. This guy has a lady in the main room plus six concubines, and the ghost knows which room he stayed in for the night? A few people quickly came to the bedroom, but they didn't dare to act rashly. Slowly, the six of them divided into three groups and hid around the courtyard.

A few people lay in the corner of the wall for a short time, and there was a creak on the side, and the door of a hut opened, and the people inside yawned and came out, and when they reached the wall, it seemed that they were going to relieve themselves. It seems that I have eaten and drunk enough at the banquet in the evening, and I got up in the middle of the night to pee. When the man was yawning for the second time, he suddenly felt a little cold on the side of his neck, and his heart was startled, and he suddenly came to his senses, and the side of his neck was a knife blade. His mouth was firmly held by the person behind him, unable to make a sound, and Gu Ping whispered in his ear: "It's better not to shout, be careful of the knife!" As long as you shout, others will not do anything, but your little life will definitely be over immediately! ”

At this time, a foul smell came, and the person was all untied in his pants, who could care about this at this time, just nodded cautiously, signaling to know, Gu Ping asked again: "Where did Wu Pingfeng sleep tonight?" Take me there! After saying that, he gently let go of this guy's mouth.

"The king spares my life, I'm just a subordinate, I don't know anything! Don't kill me! This is obviously a small guy, very timid, and as soon as his mouth is released, he immediately speaks urgently.

"Stop talking nonsense, take us to your master's residence, where did he sleep tonight?" Gu Ping asked in a low voice again.

"Three, the third aunt is in the house!" The little guy replied tremblingly.

"Lead the way!"

It turned out to be so easy, it seems that this Wu Pingfeng is used to being the king and hegemon, and the guards of his own family are indeed very lax. Gu Ping's subordinates behind him tied the hands of this little guy with strips of cloth, and stuffed cloth balls in his mouth. He himself held a knife against the little servant's neck. Walk cautiously forward. The people are afraid of officials like tigers. This Wu Pingfeng, Mrs. Wu may not have thought that someone would enter the city at all, and it was not good for him to enter his own house, and the government did not take any precautions. When they reached the door of a room, they could see a faint candle flickering in the window.

The little guy who was forced pointed to the door, and definitely signaled that this was the bedroom of the third aunt of the prefect Wu Pingfeng, Gu Ping withdrew the knife from the neck of the little guy, and then reversed the handle of the knife and knocked it heavily on the other party's head, and the little guy suddenly fainted without saying a word. Come to the door. In this era, the door of the house must be hung with a wooden gate at night, and of course this thing can't stop the carefully selected elite guards around Geng Jingzhong. The way to open it was also very simple, one of the guards took the knife in his hand and stuffed it into the crack in the door, and moved slowly upward, and sure enough, it hit an obstacle.

Just when Gu Ping stunned this little guy, the other two groups of four people would also come to this door. The guard who adjusted the gate gate picked it up a little harder, and the gate gate was picked down, Gu Ping stretched out his hand and pushed, the door was already opened, and the sound of the gate landing was not loud. But in this quiet space, it was very harsh, and several people knew that they could not afford to delay time. Push the door and rush in. Two guards were also left at the door to observe the movement in case of accidents.

This Wu Pingfeng Wu Futai may have drunk too much, and when Gu Ping and the four of them rushed to the bed, he was sleepy-eyed and straightened up on the bed, and when he woke up, the knife was already on his neck. His reaction was much stronger than that of the little guy outside, and his body shrank back, but one was sober, and the other was still a little unclear about the situation, and his reaction was naturally Gu Ping, and as soon as he shrunk, the knife followed.

"A good man, there is something to say, there is something to say." Wu Pingfeng finally came to his senses and said in a loud voice. But the third aunt next to him was so frightened that she was about to scream, but Gu Ping gave her a heavy blow and knocked her unconscious.

"You are Wu Pingfeng?" After knocking out the third aunt, Gu Ping asked out loud.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm Wu Pingfeng, a few heroes of Wumaling, the attack on your cottage a while ago was an order from the governor, it has nothing to do with me, I don't approve of doing this, if you want to take revenge, go to the governor, it really has nothing to do with me! ”

Gu Ping was stunned for a moment, it seems that this Wu Pingfeng has recognized the wrong person, and also, they are foreigners, and no one knows them here in Guilin. This Wu Pingfeng is also a ghost-like character, looking at Gu Ping a little hesitant, he shrank his neck slightly, and seeing that the knife did not follow, he simply retreated cautiously, knelt down on the bed, kowtowed again and again, and pleaded: "Good man, good man, I Wu Pingfeng really don't want to be your enemy, please see that there is an eighty-year-old lady in my family, and the nursing child is in front of me, just spare me this time!" ”

Wu Pingfeng was interested, and his voice was very low. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and lifted a small box at the head of the bed, and Gu Ping took the knife and immediately put it on his neck.

"Slow, slow! Good man, you let me go, these are all yours. As he spoke, he had already opened the box, and by the flicker of the candlelight, he could see the glittering light of the gold inside, in addition to a single ingot of gold, there were several large strings of round pearls, which at a glance he knew was quite valuable.

Gu Ping was not moved at all, he had been by Geng Jimao's side for decades, what kind of jewelry had not been seen, even the treasure house of the palace He had also entered it many times with Geng Jimao, and the gold and silver in it were filled with large boxes, this thing, I really didn't feel anything.

Now that it was confirmed, Gu Ping pulled the knife diagonally, and suddenly the sharp knife edge slashed through Wu Pingfeng's neck, and the carotid artery was immediately broken by this knife, and blood gushed out, and the strength of his body relaxed in an instant, and he couldn't say a word anymore.

After killing people, Gu Ping did not leave immediately, but took the sheets, stained them with Wu Pingfeng's blood, and left a few big words on the wall: "Wumaling revenge!" (To be continued......)
