By the night, the Ao Zongheng who carried out light work soon took a walk around the city, mainly in the central area, and believed that the rich people in the city lived in this area, because those houses were all brick and stone houses, and they were painted, which looked much more magnificent than the wooden houses on the periphery.

Unlike the time in Senubes, last time he had a clear goal and made some preparations in advance, and now he only had one night to accomplish it all.

There is no way, Ao Zongheng estimates that he needs a little time to investigate the news of the Shernashak family in Tongchasu, and at the same time make corresponding plans and arrangements, after experiencing the big commotion in the royal capital of Loren Magaga, he doesn't want to cause too much movement in the place where he stays, at least not before he leaves, of course, it's not that he's afraid, but these guys are very annoying.

So Sengang here has become the only choice, although it is not Sakai Mansion but it is also a 埒 anyway, the wealth must be more than Yuanyuan, and here is still nearly fifty drives away from Tongchasu, and he will leave with a vote, even if he is crazy to track down here, it is impossible to find out there in the short term, so it will not affect his follow-up actions.

At this time, it was the middle of the water two, and there were basically no people wandering around the streets, and Ao Zongheng was now in need of someone to guide the way.

He knew where the Hanchen Administration was, but it didn't work, although the Administration provided a place to sleep, no Hanchen would have their homes in the Agency, and their homes were elsewhere in the Agency.

By the way, doesn't it mean that the Hanchen also have to "separate the management and the evidence", how can they settle down in the Hanji? Is this a violation of the yang and the yin?

The fact is that a fief is a small piece of fiefdom, and the so-called home may be a small building with a courtyard, and it is rented - it is not that it cannot be bought, but the officials have to transfer it every four years in principle, and if they buy a house, they have to deal with it and sell it, so most of them choose to rent a house.

In short, this kind of settlement is not illegal.

There are many brick and stone houses with courtyards around the office, and it would be a waste of time to search them one by one. His eyes wandered around the buildings, but he inadvertently swept to the executive office.

As the real center of the city, even at night, it was manned, and even a lot of braziers were lit for lighting, which could somewhat deter those who tried to take advantage of the darkness.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in Ao's mind.

To-sang had a decent job, and with this job he was able to own his own house in Hanji, although it was only a wooden house, but compared to most other wooden houses, To-san's house was closer to the administrative office, which was an honor, and To-sang often thought so.

In fact, this has something to do with his work, he is the head of the duty team of the Hanchen Administration, leading more than a dozen subordinates. Although they did not belong to the regular army of the Empire, but were only security guards under the jurisdiction of the Governor, their treatment was not much different from that of the regular army.

The administrative office is divided into two shifts, day and night, and is transferred once a month, and his shift is responsible for the night shift this month.

At this time, it was the first month of the moon god season, the month of death. The three months of this moon god season are all the most feared and fierce gods of mankind, not that many terrible things will happen in these months, but it is customary for ordinary people to go out at night less and go to bed early in the morning.

Therefore, the area around the executive office entered a state of silence earlier than usual.

Most of the night is boring, so except for the five guards who are on fixed duty, everyone else retreats into their rooms to rest, waiting for the second half of the night to take over.

Tuosang is no exception, and since he is the head of the team, he even has his own small room. He also prepared a small half-bottle of wine for himself to "resist" drowsiness.

"Squad leader! Squad leader! It's on fire!" a guard rushed in with a gust of wind.

At this time, Tosang had just uncorked the bottle and was about to pour wine into the small glass.

"Stupid, can't you even learn to knock on the door?!You, what did you just say?" Tuo Sang, who was broken by his subordinates and drank at night, couldn't hold back his face, slapped the table and stood up, and was about to preemptively scold the other party, when he suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard a terrible word just now.

"Team leader, I said it was on fire. ”

"Where's the fire? "Tuosang really has the urge to kick this thing in front of him, and I still use this to ask me for instructions?

"Just ask the government building, other people are fighting the fire, but the fire doesn't seem to be small, we want to ask, do you want to notify a few bosses?"

The main entrance and four towers form a cross layout, and the main entrance is opposite to the god tower, with three Hanchen towers in a single layout, and the corridor connecting the towers is used for the outer wall and the rooms. And this government building is the central tower of this fortress, the most important place in the administration - the reference office of the head of the city.

Why isn't the god tower the most important? Obviously it's still in the deepest part of the execution group, isn't the empire here paying homage to the gods?

Of course not, no, of course it is. However, the tower of the deity in the administration is not a temple, there is only one statue of the deity in it, there are no clergy, and it exists only as a symbol of the supremacy of the gods. Since there are no clergy, it is naturally not so important. A real temple does not need to be built in a fortress - no one will dare to attack the temple if they invade it.

In short, if there is a fire in the Zhengzheng Building, it is very serious. Tuo Sang was unwilling, and he didn't dare to hide it, and after learning that the fire was not under control, he immediately made a decision - I will command the firefighting, you take two people, and inform the three ministers separately.

A few guards hurried to the outside of the office, pulled three horses, and ran—not for such an emergency, none of them were qualified to ride.

Ao Zongheng followed the person in charge of informing the head of the bank, and he decided to steal only the fattest, and one family would be enough. However, the mansions of the three ministers seem to be not far from each other, and when Ao Zongheng settles on the roof of the small building at the head of the palace, he can still feel the position of the other two messengers.

Of course, there are guards in the house of the head of the house, and there are internal guards and outer guards, probably they also found a fire in the direction of the office, and hurriedly went to report, so soon the head of the house got up from the bed.

"You bastards on duty must have knocked over the brazier. After listening to the guard's report, the head of the house only cursed and walked out of the courtyard, since the fire was not under control, as the highest commander, he naturally could not sleep with his head covered, otherwise it would be irresponsible for his political future.

The only thing that made him wonder was that he didn't even look at it and thought it was an unintentional fire, although I was indeed pretending to be a fire, but you shouldn't be so resolute, don't you consider the possibility of arson from outsiders?

This question was not solved until quite some time later—the architectural layout of the entire administration was designed according to the peacetime administration and the wartime fortress. The tower is three stories high, the cloister is two stories high, and the top floor of the tower and the cloister are actually garrison rooms, which are arranged with various garrison weapons.

The Imperial Penal Law stipulates that any imperial official who surrenders or abandons the defense on the spot will be executed for himself and his children, and the family will be removed from the family. The chief officer fled, and his subordinates recorded merit by killing and admonishing, and died if they did not admonish. Therefore, the local offices in the empire are all of this kind of fortress-like design, anyway, if you can't escape or surrender, then it's better to resist stubbornly, even if you die in battle, you will die and live the whole family.

Such a fortress, even if ordinary people want to touch it, it is very difficult, and now that there is no foreign invasion, everyone naturally does not think in the direction of spies sabotage, it is naturally due to careless fire.

However, Ao Zongheng didn't think so much about it at the time, anyway, whether there was an ambush in the mansion, he knew it clearly, and as soon as the front foot of the head left, the remaining guards in the garden fell to the ground almost at the same time. There is only one sleeping on the second floor, which should be the wife of the head of the house.

said that it was a wife, the wife of the head of the house is really not old, and she looks less than sixteen or seven years old at most, and the head of the house is at least thirty-five.

"Get up. Arrogant sat down in the dark part of the room and opened his mouth to wake up the girl.

His voice was not loud, but he knew very well that he could wake up anyone except those who were pretending to be asleep.

The girl didn't pretend to be asleep, probably when Hanshou got up just now, she had already woken up once, so when she opened her eyes, she didn't show a sleepy posture.

So she soon saw the arrogance that only showed its outline in the darkness.

Any woman would exclaim in such a situation, and the arrogance did not stop - the sound could not leave this room anyway, and there was no one outside who could hear it.

But the girl's next move was beyond the expectations of arrogance.

The girl jumped out of bed and bowed down to the arrogant, "Are you here to kill this leader? ”

How can there be such a wife in the world, wake up and see a stranger and ask someone to kill her husband......

"Are you the woman he took possession?. ”

"Yes......" The girl said the word "yes", and was interrupted by Ao.

"Okay, don't talk about this yet, let me ask you, do you know where the money is hidden?"

"I, I don't know. The girl probably had already reacted that the person in front of her was not here to assassinate the leader, but just a stupid thief who burglarized. The look of disappointment on his face was evident.

Arrogant didn't have time to care whether she was disappointed or not, since this woman didn't know, then he could only rely on his own sense of anger, but after searching this bedroom, he didn't even find half of Ghazal.

"Does Hanshou still have a family living here, who will know where his money is hidden?" Ao Zongheng didn't believe that Hanshou's family really didn't even have a copper coin.

"I don't know, I've only been sold here for three months, and I have barely seen anyone but the demon and a few slaves. You'd better go quickly, Hanshou may come back at any time, and you won't be able to escape if he finds out. The girl said disheartenedly.

Ao Zongheng smiled, "The guards outside were all knocked out by me, you can leave quickly." ”

The girl smiled sadly, "I am a slave, I was captured here from Moshaganbang, which is not far from here, and it is impossible for me to escape back on my own, and my only wish is to kill this evil ghost." ”

It is not difficult to understand the hatred of some women for the men who occupy them, and although Arrogant is not interested in women, it does not affect his respect for Zhenlie women, so he opened his mouth to remind "A woman wants to kill a man in the same bed, isn't it one of the easiest things in the world, if you have the heart to die, as long as you are careful, there is always a chance, even if the body of ordinary people is strong, a needle is inserted in the right place, he can't even hum and die." ”

However, the girl's answer surprised him again, this time it was a real accident.

"You think he's an ordinary person?"
