Chapter 167: The Trap
"Factory father, no, it's not good!"
The little eunuch's legs were so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, and his upper and lower lips trembled so much that he had to hear the sound.
"What a fuss! What happened? ”
Grandpa Wei was holding his beloved cat in his arms, and one hand was still caressing it.
"The prisoner, the prisoner, was robbed!"
He couldn't say it for a long time, and after saying it, his face turned pale with fright.
"What kind of prisoner has been robbed?"
Father-in-law Wei was still very calm, he knew that there were many prisoners in Dongchang, and these annoying people were just committing trivial things. If it's robbed, get it back, or just leave it alone.
"The remnants of the Donglin Party who were just arrested today were robbed by someone!"
After he finished speaking, he quietly waited for Grandpa Wei's reaction.
"Donglin Party!"
As soon as he couldn't get those three words out of his mouth, he felt that something was wrong.
"Donglin Party? Kidnapped? ”
After hearing this, he not only repeated the words of the little eunuch again, but also pinched the cat in his arms with a hideous face. The cat screamed in pain, jumped from his arms and ran away.
The little eunuch heard the cat scream, and saw it jump into the arms of Grandpa Wei and run away, she trembled with fright. He was immature and envious of that cat now, and if only he had that cat, at least he wouldn't have to worry about it here.
Grandpa Wei smiled evilly, then turned around the little eunuch and said coldly, "What were you doing at that time?" ”
As soon as he heard that Gonggong Wei did not blame him, his heart relaxed slightly.
"Huichang Gong, the little one was patrolling near the city gate at the time, and he found someone coming out of the city wall, so he chased after him."
After he finished speaking, he quickly looked up at Grandpa Wei, but he could see something from her expression. He couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"Why do you want to open the gates?"
Grandpa Wei asked.
"This, this, this ......"
He was speechless when asked by Father-in-law Wei, the fact that the city gate was opened was not right, and they also let the arrested people be robbed. If this matter spreads, I am afraid that the reputation of Dongchang after many years of painstaking operation will collapse.
"Our family has already thought about it for you, you are still a child, so our family will leave you a whole corpse!"
He said it lightly, but a human life thought that his words were gone.
"The factory spares his life, the factory spares his life, the factory spares his life......"
The little eunuch's cry and begging for mercy did not soften Gonggong Wei in the slightest. He relied on ruthlessness in the palace, how could he be merciful for a little eunuch?
It was not only this little eunuch who died, but those who let go of these ordinary people had to die, but they died silently, and they didn't even have a name.
"This person can be let go, but someone must die, our family has always exchanged lives for lives!"
He stood at the door, looking at the crescent moon in the sky, and there was always an indescribable feeling in his heart. Is this Ming really going to change the sky? But he didn't worry, no matter how the sky changed, it was just his Zhu Tianxia's change of ownership, what did it have to do with him?
He is still a thousand households, or a nine thousand years old above ten thousand people under one person, and no one will change this.
Early the next morning, Chunqiu got up and went to the capital, because he knew that Dongchang would arrest people tonight, and there would be ordinary people who would be taken away by them. So, he's going to go back and save them.
Yesterday, he rescued a group of people, which undoubtedly made the East Factory increase patrols and security. He used to be a brocade guard, and he also knew the guards of the capital and the Forbidden City well.
So he quietly slipped into the capital, looking for the common people who might still be taken away. But the capital is so big, where is he going to find it?
As soon as he entered the city, he had actually fallen into the trap of Grandpa Wei, and now the city and outside the city were surrounded by Grandpa Wei's people, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.
He thought he was smart and thought that he had found the weakest place in the capital guards, but he didn't know that he was deliberately put in by Gonggong Wei. It's called inviting you into the urn!
Although he felt that the guards in the capital were very weak today, he didn't think much about why this was the case. He began to look for the people of Dongchang who were dressed in strange costumes.
It wasn't until it was almost dark, when he was eating in a tavern, that he learned from the shopkeeper that there were many people who had been taken away from the west gate of the capital recently.
Simon? No wonder he searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and after paying the money, he went to the west gate.
When we got to the west gate, it was already dark, and there happened to be a carriage not far away.
He hid in the corner and watched the carriage to see if anyone would be dragged in or if someone would escape from it.
But he waited for a long time, but the carriage remained in place. He began to wonder if this was the carriage used by Dongchang to arrest people.
Just as he was about to give up and go to the next place, the door of a house was kicked open by several people. He didn't have time to count how many people there were, but he knew that these people must have taken advantage of the crowd to take people away.
Sure enough, they went in and dragged a man out a short time later.
The man kept begging them for mercy, but they punched and kicked him. He slammed his opponent against the wall, his teeth itching with hatred. But he knew that now was not the time, because there were too many of them.
After a while, they scattered to search for the Donglin Party, and only one person was left to guard the carriage.
As soon as he saw that the opportunity had come, he quietly walked towards the carriage.
The soldier guarding the carriage sensed that someone was approaching him, and his index finger bent slightly. The archers lurking on the upper floors and on the city walls were also alert when they saw it.
As soon as he arrived, they would come out from all over and surround him.
But the soldier guarding the carriage waited for a long time and did not see anyone coming, he raised his head and looked around, but found no one.
"It's strange, when has this been, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
Chunqiu took advantage of his lack of attention, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it behind his back.
When the soldier heard the voice, he quickly turned around and looked warily.
"Who?"
He raised the knife in his hand and slowly walked towards Chunqiu's side.
When he came over and saw Chunqiu, he was stunned at first, and then opened his mouth to scream, but he was covered by Chunqiu, grabbed his neck and fell into the corner and strangled to death.
"Boy, it's your fate!"
He pulled off his clothes and put them on himself, then picked up his big knife and stepped out of the corner.
He walked over to the carriage money, lifted the curtain and looked inside. A person was found lying inside, and the person was closing his eyes.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, pulled a dagger from his waist and stabbed him.
"Aren't you auspicious?"
He quickly dodged, jumped into the carriage, walked over to cover his mouth, grabbed the dagger and stabbed him in the heart.
"I'm not him!"
He frowned and looked at him in the eye, and then stabbed him hard inside.
Soon he stopped breathing, and he leaned into the carriage, his hands trembling. I don't know if it was because he was afraid, or because he killed two people in a row, in short, he trembled in fear for a long time before he came to his senses.
After he calmed down a little, he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
By this time the other soldiers were also tired. Father-in-law Wei told them that as long as they waited for the rabbit, they would wait for people, but they didn't even see a figure for so long.
"Jixiang, have you seen anyone coming?"
A large man asked not far away.
"No, I didn't see you!"
He replied uneasily.
"It's strange, when has this been, why hasn't anyone come yet? Is he not coming today? ”
The big man touched the back of his head and said suspiciously.
He did not dare to speak, and stood motionless by the carriage.
"By the way, you open the curtain and take a look at Li Xu, this kid must be asleep again inside.
"Huh?"
He looked up at the big man in trepidation.
"Are you sleepy too? I said you should wake up Li Xu. It's all this time, and before we can wait for the robbers to come, we have to go back! ”
The big man looked at him impatiently. Although he didn't know that Spring and Autumn was auspicious at this time, he also noticed his strangeness.
"Oh!"
He answered, lifted the curtain, and looked at the corpse lying in the carriage, panicked.
"Is he awake?"
The big man asked.
"Wake up, wake up!"
He said.
"That's good, you continue to guard here, and tell me as soon as there is any trouble."
The big man turned around and searched again.
Just as he was about to bend down to catch his breath, he noticed that the rooftops and walls of the city were full of archers armed with bows and arrows.
Fortunately, he didn't act rashly, otherwise he would have been pierced through the heart by their arrows.
Now that he has been discovered, then they will definitely catch him, how dare he come to save people so blatantly? I almost fell into their trap just now, but fortunately, he was clever so that he wouldn't be caught by them.
Thinking of this, he felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long, so he turned and prepared to leave.
Just a few steps after he turned around and walked, he was seen by the big man.
"Jixiang, where are you going?"
He asked, standing in the back.
"Me, my stomach hurts!"
He immediately clutched his stomach and wailed.
"Go and come back!"
The big man said impatiently.
"Yes!"
He clutched his stomach and bent over into the corner. This place was an excellent place of seclusion, and he could not see it from anywhere, so he could escape from it when they were not looking.
But how did he escape? He looked at Ji Xiang lying on the ground, and his mind moved.
He picked up Jixiang and ran out and shouted, "I've caught someone, I've caught someone!" ”
Soon archers and soldiers from all over the world came out, and even the big men came running.
He pushed the auspicious side down, ran to the corner of the wall, and jumped out of the wall.
When they came running to see the body of Ji Xiang with their back to them, they thought they had really found the robber. But the big man was very surprised to see that the robber had his back to them and did not speak, so he reached out and turned his body over.
He turned it over and saw that this person turned out to be auspicious.
"Auspicious, auspicious, auspicious, what's wrong with you?"
He crouched down and shook his body, only to find that he was dead.
He hurriedly ran to the back of the carriage and opened the curtain to see that Li Xu had a knife stuck in his chest, and he was also dead.
"Who did it, who did it?"
He clenched his fists and thumped hard into the carriage.
