45. Duty night
In the evening, after Lian Di's team took over, Ba Ye assigned them the task of guarding.
Fan Tonghai slept with a concubine that night, and there were six of them, two of them in three places.
Hou Jie and the sleeping god guarded the house, Wang Shizhu and Meng Dayu guarded the front of the house, and Lian Di and Ye Chengshan guarded the roof, and several directions were arranged, unless the murderer dug a hole in the ground, he didn't think he would have the opportunity to get close to Fan Tonghai.
But as soon as it was arranged, the god of sleep made a fuss, and he was not in a group with Hou Jie, saying that Wang Shizhu was a good person and was willing to be in a group with him.
Hou Jie somehow, as if he wanted to burp him on purpose, he had to be in a group with him, Ba Ye had no choice, he broke four branches and let the four of them catch lots, but he didn't expect that Sleep God and Hou Jie both drew long branches, Sleep God was so angry that he threw the branches, turned around and went to the back of the house, Hou Jie raised his eyebrows proudly, and followed.
The six of them found a place to hide invisibly, and Brother Lian and Ye Chengshan jumped on the branch of a big tree, and found a comfortable position to stay, and the height was just enough to see the concubine's courtyard at a glance.
The whole night was quiet, except for the sound of the watch being the sound of cats fighting, Ye Yanshan glanced down, saw that it was safe and sound, and asked Brother Lian in a low voice: "You said you had an idea in the afternoon, what kind of idea scared you like that?"
Lian Di said: "I can't be sure now, it's just a guess." ”
"What conjecture?"
"You say, how can the Copper Coin Hero dodge this heavy protection, and then kill the one below with great fanfare?"
"It's difficult, the current Master Fan will never stay alone, and the copper coin hero has no chance. ”
"But what if he is among us?"
Ye Yanshan was startled, glared at Brother Lian, opened his mouth, and didn't speak. He looked out into the courtyard under the trees, and everything seemed so peaceful in the night.
No one knows, are these lurking people around them protecting, or are they trying to kill?
The two sat for a while, and Brother Lian said: "We just caught a cold, so staying up late and sleeping in the open is not conducive to recovery, I brought a cloak out, you wrapped up and slept for a while, I will watch first, and then call you when you are tired." ”
Ye Yanshan didn't refuse, took the cloak and wrapped himself tightly, leaned against the tree pole and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep. Brother Lian sat on another pole and stretched out his legs to block him, lest he fall.
The third watch's bang was knocked, everything was still quiet, and Brother Lian thought that the probability of the murderer tonight was very small, how could he wait until their new bodyguards relaxed their nerves before they could do it.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a miserable scream came out of the house, and then Fan Tonghai shouted hoarsely several times. Even his brother scolded secretly, Ye Yanshan immediately woke up, the two didn't stop, they rushed straight into the house, and the four people from the other two groups also rushed over.
Wang Shizhu was guarding the front, and he arrived the fastest, and when he reached the door, he raised his foot and kicked open the door of the house, and rushed in.
The light in the room was soon lit, and the little concubine stood by the bed in rags, trembling with fright, and then looked at the bed, Fan Tonghai was still screaming wrapped in the quilt.
Wang Shizhu stretched out his hand to lift the quilt, Fan Tonghai was sweating profusely, and it was a nightmare. Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, but they were also relieved.
Ba Ye led the six people out of the house and returned to their original positions to guard them.
Brother Lian and Ye Yanshan returned to the tree, the two glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, how many bad things have been done to make them unable to sleep well.
Brother Lian said: "I don't think the copper coin hero will come tonight, no matter, let's sleep first." ”
Ye Yanshan smiled helplessly: "If the guards are like you, Master Fan will not have two days to live." ”
Brother Lian argued: "The defense is too tight, how can the heroes of the people start, you have to leave some gaps for others to seduce him, otherwise we will really become bodyguards, how long will we defend until what year and month?"
Ye Yanshan stared at her and suddenly smiled and said, "Look at your unreasonable appearance, you look like a woman." ”
“...... Is it a woman to be unreasonable? Really...... Ridiculous!" If Ye Yanshan could read the micro-expressions, he would definitely read the embarrassment and a little joy on Brother Lian's face.
"It's more like that now. ”
Brother Lian said, "I won't tell you, you can't sleep, if you don't sleep, I'll sleep." She snatched the cloak and wrapped herself, leaned against the tree pole and closed her eyes decisively, this person is much more sensitive than Guan Shunerd, let him find out that he is a girl, I don't know if he can accept it, now he didn't find out, he can really marry him as Lian Di in the future, he will definitely find out that Lian Di and Lian Di are the same person.
If you get too close to him, I really don't know if it's good or bad. So entangled, smelling the faint body odor on his cloak, he quickly fell asleep.
Ye Yanshan was also like her just now, stretching out his legs to block her and prevent her from falling.
Just after the fifth watch, Brother Lian woke up automatically, Ye Lingshan next to him leaned on her and closed her eyes to recuperate, as soon as she moved, he opened his eyes, saw her wake up, and smiled faintly at her, "Morning." ”
Brother Lian said: "Look, I said that the copper coin hero will not come, and now there are two hours before the shift, you can sleep for a while." ”
"It's almost dawn, and I don't sleep. ”
Brother Lian saw that he was in good spirits, so he didn't say anything, and the two sat on the tree, silently watching the morning glow slowly brightening up in the sky. The clouds are rolling and dazzling.
"Xiao Ye, what kind of woman do you like?" asked Brother Lian.
"What kind of woman?" Ye Yanshan pondered: "Kind, handsome, laughing hahaha without scruples, will not be submissive in front of men, he understands everything, and it is reasonable to argue with men." ”
The more Lian Di listened, the more strange he became, "Is there such a woman in this world?"
Ye Yanshan shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Brother Lian was even more strange, "Have you ever met such a woman?"
Ye Yanshan was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know." ”
Brother Lian said: "If you meet it, you will meet it, and if you don't meet it, you won't meet it, what do you mean by not knowing?"
Ye Yanshan said vaguely: "It seems that I encountered it when I was a child, but I can't remember it now." What kind of woman do you like?"
Brother Lian stared at the hand he put on his lap, his fingers were slender, his nails were cleanly repaired, he bit his lip and said, "I...... I don't like women, I like men. ”
Ye Yanshan turned her head to look at her, she slowly turned her head to meet his face, her eyebrows raised, her chin downward, and her chin raised, five points of surprise, five points of embarrassment, I don't know whether to stay away from her now, or continue to move.
The first time she noticed, his eyelashes were long and curled, and she grinned, "Lie to you, look at how scared you?"
He sneered, "It's okay, I'm ...... It's not discrimination against this. One of my elders has a habit of breaking sleeves, and his feelings are very true, a hundred times stronger than the love of the opposite sex, and I have always respected him very much. It's just that I don't like men, and I ...... I don't want to be liked by men, so I ......"
"Well, that's good. Brother Lian nodded.
The sun rose soon, and Fan Tonghai's concubine went out of the house to fetch water and asked the people to prepare breakfast.
Another group of bodyguards had breakfast to take over, Ba Ye got off work and took Lian Di and others back to the courtyard for breakfast, all of them were strong men who practiced martial arts, but they stayed all night, and none of them had much impact.
When eating, Wang Shizhu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he stared at Ye Yanshan several times, his eyes became more and more surprised and solemn, maybe he also found that Xiao Ye's appearance when eating was too different from that of a group of rough people.
After eating, he went back to the house to make up for sleep, and Ye Yan fell asleep next to the pillow. Lian brother ran out to go to the toilet, she went to a slightly farther toilet, yesterday observed, the thatched toilet is an independent single room, enter the door closed, who knows whether she is a man or a woman.
When I came out of the latrine, I saw Wang Shizhu also running over. When the two saw it, Wang Shizhu pulled a smile on his face, and said haha: "The younger brother also likes independent toilets?
Brother Lian smiled and staggered past him, what was this guy hiding about, he didn't care if anyone watched him. Running over to this independent latrine, there must be something else. Even his brother was suspicious of him, but now he doesn't say much, the two must get along for a few more days. If she knew the kung fu of a cup of tea, and a secret letter came out through this guy's hand and almost killed Xiao Ye, she would not be so good-tempered.
When I arrived at the gate of a courtyard, I saw a team of Fan family guards practicing inside, and the copper coin hero made the Fan Mansion full of soldiers. She looked at it at a glance, and couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, the head of the training guard, the physique was a little similar to the copper coin hero painted by Ye Lingshan at the beginning, and there was also a pair of old military boots on her feet, and the handle of the dagger was faintly visible at the mouth of the boots.
She slowed down and saw that the man was a master of kung fu. At this time, an old servant passed by, and she grabbed the old servant and asked, "Old man, do you still need to invite a martial arts sect leader in this mansion?"
The old servant pointed to the head of the sect who practiced boxing and said, "The head of the Luo sect who was only invited two months ago will not be invited again now." ”
"Oh, thank you. ”
Brother Lian was suspicious in his heart, the time when this Luo sect leader came to Fan's Mansion was very consistent with the time when the copper coin hero was preparing for the first case.
She slowly paced back into the house, and lay down on the bed, whether she herself was a little suspicious. No matter what, sooner or later, the fox will show its tail.
She reestimated the time in her mind, this time she felt that she had slept well, and she woke up, but she was busy.
Sure enough, after sleeping until noon, a group of people got up to clean up and eat lunch, and as soon as they had eaten, they saw the steward running into the courtyard quickly, and said to Ba Ye: "Everyone leave immediately and go to the blacksmith village with the master." ”
"What's wrong with the blacksmith village?" asked Pa Ye.
"Someone is making trouble in the blacksmith village, and that place is another important workshop of Master Fan, and there is no room for error. Everyone immediately set off and rode to the stable, quick!"
Ye Yanshan raised his eyebrows at Brother Lian, was it Zhao Qianyuan who made trouble?
Brother Lian nodded silently, counting the time, if Zhao Qianyuan and the others went to make trouble in the early morning, the people in the village would definitely come to report this morning, coming from the blacksmith village, it was exactly the morning of the horse. Now hurry up and head to the blacksmith village, you should be there before sunset.
When she arrived at the blacksmith village, she had to find time to check on the production of weapons, and she had to wait for the copper coin hero to do it, so that she could be busy. If the head of the Luo sect wants to follow him to the blacksmith village, the probability that the copper coin hero is him has increased by a few percentage points.
More than a dozen people rushed out of the house, drove all the way, and chased half a mile out of the city before catching up with Fan Tonghai and his party.
Brother Lian raised his eyes and swept it, and the head of the Luo Sect was really in the crowd. She stretched out her hand to touch Ye Yanshan, and said to the head of the Luo Sect, Nunu, and motioned for him to look.
Ye Yanshan looked puzzled after seeing it, and she said: "The Fan Mansion that I arrived at two months ago has high martial arts, beard, and old military boots, don't you think it's familiar?"
Ye Yanshan immediately understood who she was referring to, and after reading it, he said, "It's really like." ”
Brother Lian smiled and said, "It's lively now." ”
More than 20 people rushed to the blacksmith village non-stop, and the village chief stretched his neck at the entrance of the village, very anxious, and saw Fan Tonghai hurrying up to meet him, "Master Fan, you can come!"
"What the hell is going on?"
"It's the eldest young master, it's almost gone. ”
Fan Tonghai's body swayed, and he almost fell off his horse, "Where is the person?"
"In Fan Erye's medical hall. ”
Fan Tonghai raised his horsewhip and rushed out first. When he arrived at Fan Erye's medical hall, he jumped off his horse and stumbled into the door, and soon heard his heart-rending cry.
Brother Lian sighed, and let Zhao Qianyuan make some noise, who let him kill people? Ye Yanshan also frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Brother Lian volunteered to change the life clothes for the eldest young master of the Fan family, she and Ye Yanshan went to the house and wiped Fan Dashao's body clean, without Ye Yanshan saying, Brother Lian had already seen that the fatal injury was a knife wound in the abdomen, and there were three knife wounds all over the body, only the wound in the abdomen was the deepest. There were also many bruises on his body, which should have been caused by punches and kicks, which were by no means accidental injuries, but purposeful killings.
