Chapter 411: Action
"Don't forget that there is a Rongguo Gong in the capital, and there is a Lin Ruhai in the south of the Yangtze River! You sent so many people and failed to win against the people sent by Lin Ruhai to protect the divine doctor, which shows that the Lin family has a deep heritage, and it is not as simple as what we see on the surface. Jia Min and Lin Yao still have their own soldiers by their side to protect them, and there are still secret guards from Lin Ruhai or King Yan in secret, it's still too risky for you to do this! Concubine De felt that Du Yan was simply letting her dead soldiers go to death, and fighting hard with Jia Min was simply beyond her strength.
Durian smiled and said nothing, as if she had made arrangements, and looked like she was in her chest. Seeing this, Concubine De no longer paid attention to her, just closed her eyes and slept, the most important thing for her now is to take care of her body as soon as possible, and not let other concubines take advantage of her injuries to hook the emperor.
And Du Yan didn't know that all her plans were destined to come to naught, because while she was talking to Concubine De, Jia Min's people had already raided their old nest.
In the silence of the night, I couldn't see my fingers, and I could barely see some phantoms when a crooked moon occasionally showed its shy face from among the clouds.
In the backyard of a shop in the downtown area of Beijing, suddenly there was a faint flash of fire, and in a moment, the entire backyard fell into a sea of fire, and the fire had a tendency to spread to all sides.
The officers and soldiers who were on patrol quickly arrived here, waking up the surrounding residents and quickly evacuating them from the danger zone, while fetching water to extinguish the fire. Fortunately, there are wells in the backyards of every house in this area, and it is faster and easier to get water. After more than half an hour, the fire was finally extinguished, and in addition to the entire shop, the houses adjacent to the shop on both sides were also affected, and some houses were burned. And strangely, the owner of this shop was not seen during the whole process. After the fire was all extinguished, the trappers in the yamen went into the backyard to investigate, and found a charred corpse in a room that looked like a study.
The charred corpse was lying on the floor in front of the desk, as if it was about to crawl out, and there was an overturned oil lamp on the ground. So the yamen quickly came to a conclusion: the fire was because the shopkeeper of the shop fell asleep tired while settling accounts in the study, and accidentally knocked over the oil lamp on the desk, and when the shopkeeper woke up, he found that the ledger on the desk and the carpet on the ground were on fire, and he tried to escape in a hurry, but he fell to the ground, it was too late to get up, and his clothes were also burned...... This shop is for leather goods, and there are a lot of furs stored in the backyard, which can easily be burned to the ground, in short, it is an accident and causes a tragedy!
The two neighbors who were affected for no reason suffered such an unwarranted disaster, and they had nowhere to find someone to claim compensation, and the shopkeeper was burned to death, they didn't know where the shopkeeper was, and they had never seen the shopkeeper's family, so they had to admit that they were unlucky!
The two families, who were still secretly grieving, were sorting out the ruins of their burned houses, and they all turned out an iron box under the ruins, each containing a hundred taels of gold. These two families have a very tacit understanding and are silent, just as God's compensation for them.
And when the shop was on fire, there were people who wanted to get out of the exit of a secret room in the backyard, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't open the door of the secret room, what they didn't know was that the exit of the secret room had been destroyed and blocked, and it was impossible to get out of here!
The people in the secret room had to follow the secret passage out of the city and came to a peasant house outside the north gate. When more than 300 people came out of the secret passage one after another, there was a burst of bows and crossbows, and many people were killed and wounded. But after all, they have undergone rigorous training, and after a moment of panic, they each look for cover and an opportunity to fight back. It's a pity that they didn't wait for the time to fight back, and they got entangled with a group of men in black who quickly entered the battle. Those black-clothed men had obviously already calculated, and after entering, they first occupied the firewood room where the entrance to the secret passage was hidden, cut off their back road, and then attacked them from the west.
Although they were three times outnumbered by the men in black, and despite their stubborn resistance, they all fought until the last moment before they fell, and finally ended the fight with more than 300 of them!
Maybe they chose this place as the entrance to the secret passage because there was only such a lonely courtyard around, but at this time, they regretted that they didn't choose a courtyard with neighbors around, so that there would be no fighting and shouting here, but no one could hear the movement here.
When the sun rose, the farmhouse courtyard returned to its former calm, as if last night's thrilling battle was just a dream! And the more than 300 corpses were also destroyed and wiped out, and there was no trace of it!
On the same day, Uncle Zhong went to the government on behalf of the Lin family to buy a large piece of land outside the North City Gate, including the small farm yard, and planned to build a village here to grow cotton and sweet potatoes.
Du Yan personally contacted these more than 300 dead soldiers, and these people were hidden in the secret room of the leather store on weekdays, and they would not come out without an order. And such and such accidents happen every day in the capital, and a small leather shop being burned down can't cause much of a wave, so it wasn't until one night more than ten days later, when she looked out of the palace again to meet the dead, that she knew that something big had happened. Seeing those ruins, Du Yan thought that she was dazzled or found the wrong place, and after confirming it again and again, she finally realized that something was really wrong with the leather store. She ran all the way out of the city, and when she reached the location of the original farmhouse courtyard, she saw a construction site where houses were being rebuilt. Durian Yan already knew in her heart that they had been robbed of their nest, and the hateful thing was that she didn't know until this time. She didn't think about the dead soldiers under her command at this time, it was obvious that they were more than lucky, and looking at the house that had already laid the foundation, it had been about ten days to build to such an extent, let alone about ten days, and all the evidence had been cleaned up.
Durian gritted her teeth with hatred, thinking: Who has such great ability to kill all her carefully trained dead soldiers? She found out, and she will definitely break that person's body into ten thousand pieces!
Durian didn't dare to stay here longer, she was afraid that someone would be waiting for her to throw herself into the net, so she had to go back to the palace angrily.
Qi Lan, who was hidden in the dark, followed Durian Yan into the palace, saw that Durian returned to her own room, wrote a letter, dragged out a small birdcage from under her bed, grabbed a carrier pigeon inside, tied the letter she had just written to the pigeon's leg, and came to a secluded palace wall to release the carrier pigeon.
