Chapter 191: Lin Siyao Must Die
Lin Siyao, he must die tonight.
Lu Yu tied the kitchen knife to his waist, took Yan Xi'an, and went to Jinhua City.
Compared with last night, today's night is even darker and quieter, not a single pedestrian in Jinhua City can be seen, and there are not even a few lights on.
Lu Yu took Yan Xi'an and landed on a roof outside the county office. The roof was some distance from the county government, but the two did not dare to speak loudly.
Yan Xi'an said to Lu Yu: "Uncle, I can see that there are many people in the yamen, but I don't know those three masters, are they all there?" ”
Lu Yu stared at the yamen courtyard for a while, shook his head and said, "There are two of them, and that Master Gao is not there." ”
"What about Lin Siyao? Is he there? ”
"I didn't see it, maybe not."
Yan Xi'an nodded, a little disappointed, and said, "If that Master Gao is not there and Lin Si is here, then it will be good, we can go in and kill him." ”
"yes, I don't know where that kid is going, if he will be in that place." The place Lu Yu said was the secret place that Cheng Huai told him.
Yan Xi'an said, "Why don't we go there and have a look first?" ”
Lu Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Let's wait for a while, maybe Lin Siyan will come back soon." ”
"Alright, let's wait a little longer." Yan Xi'an was a little nervous, and kept holding one of Lu Yu's hands tightly, and a trace of sweat was already breaking out of his palm.
There were officials patrolling inside and outside the county government courtyard, and they were in groups of two, with long knives hanging from their waists.
Lu Yu suddenly turned his head and looked Yan Xi'an up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "Xi'an, I thought of a fun idea. ”
Yan Xi'an was a little inexplicable by Lu Yu's gaze, and asked, "What fun idea?" Is it dangerous? ”
"Not dangerous." Lu Yu pulled Yan Xi'an, jumped lightly from the roof, and landed in a small alley near the county yamen, the entrance of the alley was facing a courtyard wall of the yamen, and from time to time officials would pass by the alley.
"Uncle, what are you going to do? We'll find out. ”
Lu Yu made a silent gesture, and then took Yan Xi'an, walked gently to the mouth of the alley, and squatted down in the shadow of the corner of the wall together.
Yan Xi'an still couldn't guess what Lu Yu was going to do, so he could only squat obediently beside Lu Yu and not say a word.
The officers and errands on patrol were all in groups of two, and the two adjacent groups were one or twenty zhang apart, constantly walking around the county government compound.
When a group of two officials passed by the alley, Lu Yu gently stretched out his right hand and pulled it back in the air, and the two officials were dragged into the alley with a whoosh, and they didn't even have time to make an exclamation, so they fainted.
Lu Yu said to Yan Xi'an: "Hurry up and change your clothes, and when the patrol officer goes around, we can make up for it." ”
Yan Xi'an was surprised and delighted, and understood Lu Yu's thoughts. She quickly put on a messenger dress that Lu Yu had taken off, hurriedly pulled her hair, put on a messenger hat, and hung up her waist knife.
At this time, Lu Yu had already changed his clothes.
Yan Xi'an is petite, the clothes are too big, and the clothes are very ill-fitting. Lu Yu suddenly reached out and rubbed her head and face, Yan Xi'an blushed, and was about to push Lu Yu away, but heard him say, "Don't move, I'll help you get it, so that you will be exactly the same as the official on the ground." ”
"No, I don't want to be a man, it's still so ugly." The owner of Yan Xi'an's poor suit was a small man, dark and thin, with a roe head and a rat eyes.
Lu Yu smiled and said: "It's not to make you look like him, it's to make others think you look like him when they look at you." Besides, this spell won't last long, two or three hours at most, and you'll be back in shape. ”
"Then uncle, look at me, do you also look ugly?"
"I think of course you're not, I know how to spell, I see that you are still the same beautiful Yan Xi'an."
Yan Xi'an covered his mouth and smiled, and poked Lu Yu's stomach with his other hand.
Lu Yu counted, there were a total of five groups of officials patrolling outside the courtyard, one of which was dragged into the alley by Lu Yu and was stunned, and among the remaining four groups, the interval between two of them would be larger, so Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an had to make up for it.
The night was very dark, and the lights in the yamen could not shine through the courtyard wall, Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an, taking advantage of the night, quietly walked out and became two members of the patrol service.
Yan Xi'an was still a little worried at first, but when she and Lu Yu walked around the county government a few times without anyone noticing anything abnormal, they were relieved, and they felt that it was indeed a little fun.
The patrol was very boring, and it was very boring to go around in circles, and it didn't take long for Yan Xi'an to get a little tired, and he didn't dare to ask Lu Yu when he would not follow those stupid officials in circles.
After walking for almost half an hour, Lu Yu also felt bored, and after thinking about it for a while, Lu Yu had an idea.
There were more officials guarding the county government compound, and the lights were bright, and there were occasional voices of people talking.
Suddenly, several people shouted in the county government: "Go out of the water, come and put out the fire!" Let's go to the water, come and put out the fire. ”
Yan Xi'an was overjoyed, glanced at Lu Yu, and saw that he was also looking at himself, so he understood that the fire in the courtyard was set by Lu Yu. Lu Yu told Yan Xi'an not to speak, and pulled her into the courtyard.
The place where the fire started was the lobby of the county office, where smoke billowed and tongues of flame poured out from the door frames and windows.
The courtyard was already in chaos, and many errands carried buckets and basins to fetch water from the lobby and the courtyard pool to extinguish the fire. It's just that the fire in the lobby is too fierce, and the water in the bucket and wooden basin is poured on it, but it doesn't help at all.
Someone shouted, "What about Lord Lin?" Lord Lin wasn't in there. ”
"Master Lin is not here, I remember that Master Gong and Master Rao are still in the lobby, go and save those two." Lu Yu remembered that "Master Gong" was the thin master, and "Master Rao" was naturally the iron hook man who killed Shan Tianfang.
Someone else said, "How can I save it?" The fire is so big, who would dare to go in. ”
"Even if you go in, you can't get out."
The officials had already stopped carrying water to fight the fire, stood in front of the lobby, and watched the raging flames burn through the roof of the lobby, burning the beams and pillars of the house, and illuminating the entire yamen compound as bright as day.
An official sighed and said, "If we burn the two masters, our life will be difficult." ”
Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an also stood in the crowd, the two of them only "changed shape", but did not "change their voices", and they didn't dare to speak. Lu Yu thought to himself: "Those two masters are both good at martial arts, and they also know a little spell, so they shouldn't be burned to death so easily." He was a little conflicted in his heart, hoping that the two surnamed Gong and Rao would be buried in the fire, so that he could concentrate on dealing with the remaining Master Gao. But in that case, it would be impossible to bring the person surnamed Gong to Fang Huaru and let her take revenge with her own hands.
However, Lu Yu didn't need to contradict it, because neither of those two people was burned to death. The two of them, who might not have been in the lobby in the first place, walked in from outside the courtyard, looked at the raging fire burning in the lobby with grim expressions, and did not say a word.
The officials seemed to be very afraid of the two men, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak. Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an also lowered their heads.
The guy surnamed Rao didn't seem to be able to leave his body, he took off the iron hook from his back, glanced at the officials, and said coldly: "Does anyone know how this fire started?" ”
When the officials saw Rao Tie Hook take off the hook, they were even more frightened, so no one dared to speak.
"Didn't anyone see it?" Rao Iron Hook pestled the iron hook to the ground, making a crisp sound.
This time, a famous official said, "Back to Master Rao's words, just now we were all guarding in the courtyard, and suddenly, a fire broke out in the house, and by the time we carried water to put out the fire, the fire was no longer under control." ”
Lu Yu recognized this voice, it was the little one of the two officials who went to Dunlin Town to find his father's soul.
"Suddenly on fire?" Gong Slender said: "I'm afraid that kid is here, have you sent someone to inform Lord Lin?" ”
The little man hurriedly flattered and said, "Not yet, we are worried about the two masters, and we haven't had time to tell Lord Lin yet." ”
"Hmph, you're worried about us?" Rao Tiegou said, "You stay here to put out the torches, and we will go by ourselves." ”
Gong Slender added: "Come out and take a look around, that kid must still be nearby." If anyone finds him, don't do anything and call us over. ”
"Yes." The little man's lips moved, but he was thinking in his heart: "You two are afraid that you two are not afraid in your hearts, otherwise why would you leave in a hurry." ”
The rest of the officials are also in general thoughts.
After Gong Rao and the others turned to leave, Lu Yu also thought about finding an opportunity to go out with him.
At this time, I heard the little man say: "Don't go out, everyone, that Lu Yu is very powerful, even if we encounter it, we can't deal with it." ”
Although the fire cannot be extinguished, it still has to be extinguished. The officials slowly continued to carry water to put out the fire, and Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an took advantage of the lack of attention and went out of the courtyard.
Gong Rao and the others did go to the secret residence where Lin Siyao was, and the two of them each rode a horse, beating the horses and galloping, waking up the residents of several streets.
Lu Yu carried Yan Xi'an on his back and followed. The horse's hooves are fast, Lu Yu is faster, even if he is carrying Yan Xi'an on his back, he can easily follow the two of them. The two masters didn't seem to notice Lu Yu not far behind them.
There is a lake in Jinhua City, which is not born, but has been dug by hand after the power of several county commanders. On the south side of the lake, there is a small river that connects the lake to the moat outside the city.
The lake in the city has no name, but the small river that connects the lake to the moat has a nice name, the Jinshui River. There is a small bridge on the Jinshui River, and there is a path under the bridge that slopes downward, and at the end of the path, there is a small forest.
Although the forest is in the city, it is rarely visited, and it is gloomy all year round, and some children call it the "ghost forest". And in the ghost forest, another old mansion that has existed for an unknown number of years, is called a "haunted house".
Lin Siyan's second foothold is the renovated "haunted house".
