When the master took Xiaoqing to the city gate, the city gate had already been closed, and it was not yet the second watch. I saw that there were not only officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, but also the family members of the palace, the lights near the city gate were bright, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and waiting for the battle, the master understood at a glance that the power of the Wang family was not trivial, and the government had been alarmed.

There are two city gates in front and behind this city, and the master took Xiaoqing to the other gate, but as the master expected, this gate is also closed and brightly lit, and it is also guarded by officers and soldiers and family members.

When the master saw it, he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of the city for the time being, so he could only find a place to settle down in the city first, and wait for the dawn to see the situation. However, things are not as optimistic as my grandfather imagined, and my grandfather's small actions are like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the whole city seems to be alarmed, which greatly surprised my grandfather's expectations.

The officials in the city actually cooperated with the family members of the palace, holding torches, carrying knives and guns, and searched door to door in the city, and the number of people participating in the search was also beyond my grandfather's expectations.

The grandfather estimated that the number of people participating in the search was at least three or four hundred, three or five groups, divided into dozens of groups, scattered in all corners of the city, alley after alley, carpet search.

The master really didn't expect that the Wang family's power could be so huge and the reaction could be so fast.

If this is only the grandfather himself, let alone three or four hundred, even if there are thousands of people, don't want to find him, but at the moment, the grandfather still has a burden that he can't run or fight, which makes the grandfather worry and struggle.

In less than an hour, the overwhelming round-up and search quickly squeezed the grandfather and Xiaoqing into a corner, and in desperation, the grandfather had to take Xiaoqing and jump into a dilapidated courtyard. As soon as the grandfather's feet hit the ground, he suddenly "whew", and a big dog sprang out from the corner of the wall, viciously pounced on the grandfather, the grandfather was caught off guard, and wanted to react, but it was too late.

At this time, the master was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and glanced at Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing nodded to the master, as if telling the grandfather, don't worry, she can control the big dog.

Seeing this, the master suddenly came to his senses, and took Xiaoqing to hide in the city for so long, but he never heard the dog bark, and those who pursued him, going from house to house, did not seem to startle the dog.

The master thought about it for a while, I'm afraid it's not that no one in their city has a dog, but it has something to do with Xiaoqing, the master immediately moved smartly, turned his head and looked at the broken house in the yard, the whole house was dark, and the people inside seemed to have fallen asleep, the master lowered his voice and asked Xiaoqing: "Can you let this dog bark a few times in other alleys?" ”

Xiaoqing nodded immediately, the master didn't say anything, quickly walked to the dilapidated courtyard gate, quietly opened the courtyard door, and gave Xiaoqing a look, Xiaoqing looked at the big dog, raised his hand and pointed at the courtyard door, and the big dog actually walked out very obediently.

Seeing this, the master was secretly happy in his heart, closed the courtyard door, and the master whispered to Xiaoqing, "Don't let it call yet, and let it call after those people enter this alley." ”

One of the people who searched for it, not far away, could vaguely hear their shouting door, taking advantage of the short respite, the grandfather looked at the whole courtyard, the courtyard is not big, only a dilapidated earthen tile house, the whole courtyard except for the house, there is no place to hide, it is definitely not a place to hide, the reason why the grandfather chose this courtyard just now is only because the courtyard wall is low, Xiaoqing is easy to jump in.

After waiting for a cup of tea, there was a chaotic sound of people outside the alley, and the master looked out of the alley through the courtyard wall, countless torches were swaying, and the number of people seemed to be not small.

After a while, these people began to knock on the door from house to house, and the master nodded to Xiaoqing at this time, and he didn't see Xiaoqing do anything, it seemed that he just blinked his eyes twice, and then from another alley next to him, there was a violent dog barking.

The people searching in the alley suddenly fell silent, and someone asked loudly: "Has that alley been checked?" ”

Someone replied, "I haven't checked it yet." ”

The voice shouted again: "Leave it alone for now, go to that alley and take a look first!" ”

The people in the alley suddenly dispersed, and after waiting for a while, the dog barked farther and farther away, and many dogs followed and all yelled.

At this time, the master climbed over the wall, climbed up and looked around, and saw the light of the torches that were lit up and spread everywhere before, and then concentrated on the places where the dog barked the most.

The master didn't expect Xiaoqing to have the ability to control the dog, maybe the monkey got close to her, and there was also a reason for this, but now is not the time to think about this, the master greeted Xiaoqing, and the two of them quickly turned out of the yard and ran towards the place where the torch was less bright.

At this time, more than half of the people in the city have been alarmed, and there must be more people who are curious to see the excitement than those who continue to lie back in bed to sleep, and the two of them will be discovered sooner or later, and they must find a safe place to hide as soon as possible.

But where to hide?

Towards the place where torches are the most rare, the master took Xiaoqing to turn left and right in the alley, and unconsciously, he actually turned to a big road.

The master pulled Xiaoqing to stop at the mouth of the alley, and looked at the main road, it was not bad, this area was quite clean, and there was no one to arrest him, but the master soon found that on the opposite side of the road, there was a courtyard of the gate building, quite pompous, in front of the courtyard, there were two stone lions, under the gatehouse, there were four red lanterns, by the light of the lanterns, the master looked at the plaque on the door, and immediately smiled, no wonder the nearby area is so clean, feelings, the county government is here!

Looking at the streets on both sides, there was no one, and the master pulled Xiaoqing to the gate. At this time, the gate of the county government was closed, and it was dark and quiet inside, and it was estimated that the people in the county government had gone out to search for themselves, and the grandfather had a smile on his face again, this place was quite suitable.

Pulled Xiaoqing around the county office, the main gate, the gatehouse is tall, it is not easy to jump in, however, there is a side door behind the county office, not only is it very inconspicuous, but the courtyard wall does not look so high.

The grandfather asked Xiaoqing to wait outside, the grandfather climbed over the wall and looked into the courtyard, the courtyard was quiet, there was no one, turned over and jumped into the courtyard, opened the small door, beckoned Xiaoqing to come in, and closed the small door again.

At this time, the grandfather took a closer look into the courtyard, it looked like the back house of the county government, that is, where the county grandfather lived, there were two or three houses, a small garden, and there was a path at the back door, through the garden, leading to one of the big houses.

Generally, people come to visit the county lord, they all take this back door, next to the back door, there is a very inconspicuous small house, like the place where the janitor lives, generally can see the back door here, are the relatives or cronies of the county lord, if someone comes to the back door with something, they are not afraid of leaking the wind.

The grandfather looked into the small house, the doorkeeper seemed to have fallen asleep, and then led Xiaoqing, through the small garden, to the big house near, originally the grandfather did not plan to pay attention to the big house, but at this time, from the big house came the child's cry, soon, the lights in the house turned on, there was a woman's voice coaxing the child, at this time, there was a man's complaint: "Let the nurse take it at night, you have to carry it into the house, I still have a case to judge tomorrow!" ”

The woman seemed to be unhappy, and shouted: "I'm arguing with you, tonight is different from the past, you don't know, the heirloom treasures of the palace have been stolen, and the young master of the Wang family has been knocked out of several teeth, be careful, what if something happens to our son?" ”

"A woman's opinion!" The man said: "You haven't seen what kind of place this is, which thief is so bold that he dares to come to the county government to make trouble!" ”

The woman snorted lightly, "Don't say that, the people in the county government have been sent out by you, in case that thief touches me, I'll see what you do!" ”

The man snorted: "If that thief really dares to come, the county will tell him to go and never return!" ”

When the master heard this, he felt that this big house was the room where the county master and his wife lived, and the master reached out and took out the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword from his arms, stretched the sword into the crack of the door, and opened the latch inside.

At this time, the county lord and his wife were still arguing, and the lord greeted Xiaoqing, and the two of them entered the house lightly.

This house is also two rooms, inside and outside, the county lord and his wife are in the inner room at this time, the child is no longer crying at this time, the two of them no longer quarrel, extinguish the candles, and seem to continue sleeping.

At this time, the master said lukewarmly in the outhouse, "County lord, how many silver taels did the Wang family give you?" ”

"What?" There was an exclamation in the room, followed by a man shouting, "What a person! ”

"I'm the one you're hunting for in the whole city tonight!"

"Huh?" The woman suddenly screamed, and then the man's panicked voice came: "You, who are you, how, how did you get in......"

The master took out the fire fold from his body, lit the candle on the table in the outhouse, and said: "Who am I, you will understand if you come out to see, Shicai, I heard you say, no daring thief dares to enter the county government, I really came in, master!" With that, the master was short and sat on the Taishi chair next to the table.
