The man in black smoothly touched the outside of the small courtyard, and under the soft moonlight, the knife tied behind them was shining with cold light, and the courtyard was silent. But just as the man in black climbed the courtyard wall and wanted to climb over, the light in the right corner room turned on.
"Squeak", the door was opened, and the two mothers-in-law walked out with a windproof lamp and shrunk their heads.
The man lying on the wall did not dare to move, for fear of making a noise and alarming the two mothers-in-law, and when they shouted, it was bound to alarm the others, and the chaos would become chaotic, and if they didn't kill the right person, it would be in vain.
The people below didn't know what was going on inside, and urged: "Biaozi, hurry up and go down, why don't you stay on your stomach?" โ
"Don't make a sound, someone's coming out." Biaozi whispered.
"What?" The people below didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?" โ
"Don't make a sound, someone's coming out." Biaozi said a little louder.
The people below heard it and didn't ask again, but in the dead of night, the sound was far away, even if they couldn't hear what was said, they could sense that there was movement here, and a mother-in-law asked, "Do you see if there is a person lying on the wall there?" โ
"You're dizzy, it's the shadow of a tree." Another mother-in-law spat at her.
"How can the shadows of the trees have sounds?"
"The sound of the wind blowing, don't care so much, hurry up and go to the toilet, you can't hold it back." The shortbread brought by Yan Hagi was limited, except for the masters, only a few personal maidservants ate some, and the other mothers-in-law drank water to satisfy their hunger. The consequence of drinking too much water is that you are anxious in the middle of the night.
Seeing the two mothers-in-law turn around and go to the thatched toilet in the back, Biaozi was about to go down, when the door of the left corner room opened again, and three maidservants came out, also carrying windproof lamps in their hands; Biao Zi couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "His grandmother, this big night, neither of them sleeps, and they run out to wander all night, so what else can Lao Tzu do?" โ
The eyes of the three maidservants were better than those of the two mothers-in-law, "Oops! There are people on the wall. โ
"Oh no, a thief has come in!"
"There are thieves, there are thieves."
The three of them shouted at the same time, and the people in the courtyard next door were all awake, not to mention the people living in this courtyard, Mrs. Yan was already young when she was old, and she was awakened, and when she heard that there was a thief, she immediately shouted: "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao!" โ
"Old lady, Miss Twelve, Miss Thirteen, and Miss Fourteen slept in the wing room last night." Xiangyuan reminded her.
"I'm going over." Mrs. Yan didn't wear any shoes, so she walked to the door.
"No, old lady. I don't know how many thieves have come in the yard, old lady, something will happen when you go out. Xiangyuan stopped her, "Old lady, what if the thieves kidnap you and force Miss Twelve to open the door?" โ
There was some truth in this, Old Madam Yan didn't dare to open the door and go out, but she was worried about Yan Hao's safety, and said angrily: "It would be good to let them live in this house together last night." โ
But it was too late to say anything now, and the same situation happened in the east wing, if it wasn't for Amber to stop it, the lord of Nanping would have pulled the bolt of the door.
Biao Zi saw that the people in the courtyard had been alarmed, so he simply didn't hide his tracks, "Brothers, kill it, and cut it down for Lao Tzu when you see someone." "Originally, I wanted to use drugs to stun people, take them out, play for a while, or kill or sell, but now I can only kill them all to prevent future troubles.
In the wing room, Yan Hong and Yan Jing snuggled up to Yan Hagi in fear, "Twelfth sister, why are there thieves?" โ
"It's coming here." Yan Hagi speculated.
"Sister Twelve, are we going to die?" Yan Jing asked with a pout, wanting to cry or not.
"No, we're not going to die." Yan Hagi looked at the wheat finch who was moving the table and blocking the door, shouldn't she be glad that there were wheat finches among the people who were keeping vigil today? Otherwise, just the three of them, with three maidservants who also have no power to restrain chickens, even if they don't want to sit still, they are just dying.
The table blocked the door, and the people outside tried to push it open and come in, but it took a lot of effort to do it, but Mai Que clapped her hands in confidence, and stood by the window with the stick that held the door, and if the thief dared to climb in through the window, she would knock him to death with a stick.
Seeing this, the other maidservant picked up the incense burner, which was made of copper, and it should be possible to smash people. There was also a servant girl who looked left and right, and there was nothing to take advantage of, "I...... What am I going to do? โ
Mai Que thought for a moment and said, "You go and guard the young ladies and stop the stool in front of the bed, if the thief breaks in, the stool can stop them." "The bed is too low, or the ladies can hide under the bed.
"First bring the three hairpins in the jewelry box." Yan Hagi really regretted not bringing a talisman dagger, the nunnery is a peaceful place, and it is not appropriate to bring a murder weapon, but now, I don't know how many thieves there are outside?
There were no men left in the nunnery, Yan Tongfang and Yan Tongming went down the mountain and returned to the city after fasting, the courtyard was full of unarmed women and children, facing a group of murderers with sharp blades, it was really auspicious.
There is no dagger, fortunately there is a long hairpin, originally it was just a preparation, and it was not intended to come in handy, and now you can only count on the long hairpin, even if you can't kill someone, it's always okay to hurt someone. Yan Hagi gave the hairpin to her two younger sisters, and she held one by herself.
"Knock knock" someone is kicking the door, "Click" the door is kicked, but there is a table to prop up, and it does not fall; It was dark inside the house, but there was moonlight outside, even if it wasn't as bright as daylight, Yan Hagi could still see the man's hideous face, his eyes shining fiercely, and his hand holding a ......
Yan Hagi shuddered, it was a blood-stained knife, it seemed that someone had been poisoned. Is this nunnery still a peaceful place? Yan Jing said with a crying voice: "Buddha, Bodhisattva, if you really have a spirit, you will manifest your spirit and let these bad people die and die." โ
"Little Fourteen, don't ...... Don't talk. Yan Hong said in a trembling voice. If they don't make a sound, maybe the murderer won't see them, and he won't come in to hurt them, Yan Hong deceived himself.
The man couldn't kick the door open, turned to the window, and with a "bang", the window was smashed open, the wood splashed, and the wheat bird and the other maidservant subconsciously retreated. The man sneered: "The person you want to kill, even if you become a rat and will drill a hole, you will also grab someone from the hole and break her neck." โ
"Sister Twelve." Yan Jing's tears fell.
"Don't be afraid." Yan Hagi held the hairpin with both hands, no matter what, he had to fight up, even if he died, he had to bite the other party's flesh first.
The man was about to climb in through the window, but the wheat-finch raised his stick and slammed it down on his head, and the maid-servant-woman with the incense burner screamed and struck the man who had been knocked unconscious by the wheat-burner with the brass stove.
"Hill." There was another strong man, "His grandmother, the stinky mother-in-law, actually dared to beat Lao Tzu's brother." With that, he swung his knife and slashed at it, but through a window and a dead body...... After being smashed so much, Yan Hagi seemed to see the man's brain burst out, so he should be dead.
The strong man's knife slashed at the window frame, and with great force, the knife slashed so deep that he couldn't pull it out. He couldn't hurt the two wheat sparrows standing by the window, and the wheat sparrows couldn't beat him, forming a confrontation situation.
At this time, the nuns in the nunnery arrived, and they held long sticks wrapped in copper skin, and fought with the murderers. The man standing by the window also walked away, and Mai Que looked out, "Miss, the teachers and wives in the nunnery have come to save us." โ
"Sister Twelve, we don't have to die." Yan Jing's tears flowed faster, this was crying with joy, not being scared.
"You don't have to die, why are you crying? Should laugh. Yan Hong tugged at the corners of his mouth and smirked.
"Don't laugh, laugh like a night owl, mad." Yan Hagi trembled and put down the long hairpin in his hand, it was too hard just now, and now his hand is a little unable to stretch out, and his joints are still a little painful.
There were nine murderers, one was put down by the wheat sparrow, eight more, three escaped, and the other five were tied up with broken legs.
"Old donor Yan, it's safe outside, you can come out." A master stepped forward and knocked on the door.
There was a sound of dragging inside, and after a while, the door opened, and Mrs. Yan didn't greet the teacher, but went straight to the room where Yan Hagi and the others lived; The door of the county lord of Nanping also opened, and she also ran to her daughter's room with her feet pulled.
"Xiaoxiao...... How can there be a murderer here? The county lord of Nanping saw the dead body lying on the window.
Only then did the wives find out and quickly get the dead bodies down from the windows.
"Xiaoxiao." Old Madam Yan and the county lord of Nanping stood outside the window and shouted inside.
The door opened, and Yan Hagi ran out of the house, "Grandmother, mother." โ
Yan Hong and Yan Jing followed, "Grandmother." โ
"Xiaoxiao, are you scared?" The county lord of Nanping hugged his daughter.
"Mother, this is the nunnery, why are there thieves coming to kill us?" Yan Hagi asked with tears in her eyes.
"You have to ask the host for this." The county lord of Nanping said coldly, what does it mean that the thief broke in so accurately? It shows that there is an internal response in the nunnery, and you must know that the people who come to live in the nunnery are not only the Yan family, but also the other three female dependents.
Old Madam Yan regretted it even more, "If I had known that this would happen, I would never have come to Miaoshan Nunnery to listen to this scripture." "The extra sesame oil money is the same, why did she have to work to mobilize the people to listen to the lecture at that time? She's such an old fool.
"Mother, how can you be blamed for this? Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in the nunnery. The county lord of Nanping gently stroked Yan Hao's back, she could feel that Yan Hao was still trembling, and her daughter was really frightened this time.
Facing the questioning of the Yan family, the host of Miaoshan'an was too headache, and she didn't know how someone could touch Miaoshan'an and kill people. After counting, it was found that a maid and two mothers-in-law were dead, and three others were injured, including one of whom had her arm cut off, bled profusely, and was unconscious.
The reason why the number of dead and wounded is not too large is that these murderers mainly came to Yan Hagi, but the door of the room where Yan Hagi was located was not kicked open. The masters were all fine, and Mrs. Yan, who came from another courtyard, patted her chest and said, "Great luck in misfortune." โ
If something happens to Mrs. Yan, everyone in the family will have to keep filial piety.
"Since Mrs. Shi can't tell you about this, let's wait for dawn and let the people from the government investigate." The county lord of Nanping has already decided that someone is targeting the Yan family, and she must find out who is behind the scenes.
There was a murder case in the nunnery, there was no need to listen to the lecture anymore, Mrs. Yan sent someone back to the city to report the news and report the case, and Mrs. Yan and others, who received the report, immediately rushed to Miaoshan Nunnery, and the government also sent people.
At the gate of the city, he happened to meet the Gao family who had been demoted and left Beijing, Gao Lan's eyes were good, and he saw Yan Tongzhu from a distance and rushed over to stop his horse; Yan Tongzhu was startled and immediately reined in his horse, and the horse's front hooves were raised high.
"Lan'er!" Gao Zhu shouted in a lost voice, this horse's hooves stepped down, and Gao Lan was seriously injured if he did not die.
Yan Tongzhu gritted his teeth, used all his strength, pulled the horse's hooves to change directions, and did not step on Gao Lan, but Yan Tongzhu almost fell off the horse. Yan Tongzhu stared at Gao Lan with an ugly face, "This young lady, do you know that this is very dangerous?" โ
"Brother Yan, I'm leaving the capital, I'm so sad, will you miss me?" Gao Lan looked at Yan Tongzhu with an obsessive expression.
Yan Tongzhu frowned, "Who are you?" I don't know you. โ
"I'm Lan'er, Gao Lan, Lan'er of the Gao family, that day, I was pestered by someone to help me out of the siege, you still sent me to a sedan chair, have you forgotten?" Gao Lan said with resentment.
Yan Tongzhu really didn't remember this, but if Gao Lan was so pestered by Gao Lan because of this incident, he thought that he might not be so kind and troubled that day. Yan Tongzhu didn't want to say much to a woman who ran shamelessly to pester a foreign man, and said coldly: "Please give way, don't get in the way." โ
Gao Lan reached out to grab the reins of the horse, "Brother Yan, I have something to say to you." โ
"Does Lord Gao want Yu Shi to participate in your teaching girl is not strict? Don't you even want to be a seven-rank official? Fourth Master Yan asked with a sneer.
Father Gao's expression was grim, "Don't you pull Lan'er back, it's not embarrassing enough?" "If his daughter can really climb Yan Tongzhu, of course it is good, but Yan Siye's words made him realize something.
Gao Zhu took the maidservant girl forward and pulled Gao Lan away from Yan Tongzhu's horse, and the Yan family continued to rush to Miaoshan Nunnery.
When he arrived at Miaoshan Nunnery, Mrs. Yan saw his wife, and saw that her face was sallow and she couldn't keep her spirits, so she asked worriedly, "Old woman, are you injured?" โ
"I wasn't hurt, I was just frightened and didn't sleep well." Old Madam Yan pressed her forehead with a faint ache and said.
The children and grandchildren also came forward to inquire, and then Fourth Master Yan retreated to the side of the county lord of Nanping, "Excellent, have you been injured?" โ
"No, neither does my daughter, but my daughter is scared, and when she returns to the city, she will ask a doctor to come and see her, I am afraid that she will get sick." The county lord of Nanping was worried.
"When you go back to the city, you will ask for a doctor." Yan Siye had palpitations, almost, he was about to lose his mother, wife, and daughter, he went to that courtyard just now to see, the strong smell of sandalwood did not dispel the smell of blood, and the kicked and cracked doors and smashed windows all told him how thrilling last night was.
After eating a simple vegetarian meal in Miaoshan Nunnery, a team of people escorted the five murderers back to the city with the Yan family, and another team of officials stayed in Miaoshan Nunnery to check Neiying.
