Chapter 34: Ambush
readx;? The early night of April was cool, but in the second half of the night, the heat gradually subsided, and the crickets and cicadas began to make noise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Jing was wearing soapy clothes, hidden in the night, and Tang Chong hid on the edge of the path of the back office, through the corner, he could clearly see the lanterns hanging on both sides of the Cao family's courtyard, Wang Dou and a dry catcher secretly surrounded the entire back office.
Although the yamen is not bad for money, it will not be so extravagant and wasteful, and the lanterns will not burn all night, after everyone sleeps, the lanterns will be blown out, but because Yang Jing needs to take care of Li Wanniang all night, only the courtyard of the Cao family is lit with lanterns, which are particularly conspicuous, but whenever someone enters or leaves, they will definitely be seen.
The reason why Yang Jing spread the fake news that Li Wanniang was about to speak was to lure the snake out of the hole!
When the cook asked himself nervously, he suddenly came to his senses and decided to use this trick.
The last time he came to the Cao family's courtyard to rescue Li Wanniang, he had just begun to ask Xia Zhi's girl, and someone went to kill Xia Zhi's family, and now he already knew that the real murderer was not from the Lu family, and how to catch the real murderer of the Xia family's murder case has always been in Yang Jing's consideration.
This murderer is very weighty, because if you catch this real murderer, you can pull up the radish and bring out the mud, and find out the mastermind who bought the murderer, and when Lu Yueniang didn't dare to show her head, the testimony of this murderer became extremely crucial.
Judging from the details of the door killing case, these people were already aware of the danger when Yang Jing contacted and interrogated the Xia Solstice girl, which shows that their eyeliner was planted in the yamen, or their eyeliner could enter and exit the yamen relatively easily.
The reason why Li Wanniang has been safe in the past two days is that in addition to the fact that the Xia family destroyed the door and Wang Dou and others were ambushed, the yamen strengthened the guards, Li Wanniang's life hung by a thread, and she couldn't speak, which was also a reason why the real murderer didn't start.
But Yang Jing's return will definitely attract their attention and attract great attention, because Yang Jing is Li Wanniang's life-saving benefactor, and the rumors of Yang Jing's resurrection have already spread, and on the first night he came back, there was news that Li Wanniang would be able to speak on the second day, I believe that whether it is the real murderer or the mastermind behind the scenes, they will not be able to sit still.
Therefore, Yang Jing used the excuse of looking for food, but secretly asked Wang Dou to mobilize all the fast catchers and guard the passage and key positions of the rear office.
Because he believes that tonight is the best opportunity to do it, otherwise tomorrow, when Li Wanniang can speak, she will definitely spit out all the secrets.
And now is the time when the yamen is most heavily guarded, and it is impossible for the eyeliner lurking in the yamen to act alone, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, they will definitely ask a clever killer to assassinate Li Wanniang.
If Yang Jing's speculation is correct, then this murderer should be the real murderer who caused the Xia family's annihilation!
He once promised Xia Zhi that he would definitely catch the murderer for her and avenge her hatred, but now he had to leave Xia Solstice girl alone and let her act as a bait to confuse the enemy, Yang Jing was also worried in his heart.
His hands holding the long knife were already soaked with sweat, and the silk threads wrapped around the handle were soaked, but he didn't notice it, because his attention was all on the door of the Cao family's courtyard.
The lantern emits a dim yellow light, illuminating the square inch in front of the small courtyard, like a dying fire in the dark.
As time went on, Yang Jing became more and more nervous, because he deliberately asked Xia Solstice loudly in the room, he just went out to find some food, and he would go back to replace Xia Solstice in the second half of the night.
But now it's the second half of the night, but no one comes to the door, the acting is complete, the assassin doesn't come to the door again, he can only go back with the food box prepared in advance, in this way, the summer solstice will be safer, but the assassin will be more vigilant, and may even give up the assassination!
Beads of sweat slipped down from his forehead one by one, stimulating Yang Jing's eyes, hot and uncomfortable, but he still didn't dare to blink, staring at the direction of the courtyard gate.
And Tang Chong beside him was like a lion at the yamen, as if he had temporarily lost his vitality, and even a trace of human breath was reined in.
In that night, the scar on Tang Chong's face became more resolute and hideous, and his waist knife had not yet been struck, but he was just pressing the hilt of the knife, and his mouth was silently talking to himself, as if there was an undead spirit beside him that only he could see.
"Tuk Tuk!"
There was another sound of beating in the alley behind the yamen, Yang Jing gritted his teeth, and was about to give up squatting and walk into the courtyard to meet the summer solstice, but was held down by Tang Chong!
In the circle of light in front of the courtyard gate, a black shadow really appeared!
"The Assassin is here!"
Yang Jing's heart began to beat wildly, although he had also experienced a lot of dangers, but this assassin was able to avoid Wang Dou and many fast catchers, enter the back office, and approach the small courtyard of the Cao family, which is enough to show that he knows the layout of the yamen well, and it also shows that he is strong in martial arts!
The black-clothed assassin seemed to be afraid of waking up the people of the Cao family, so he didn't break in, but went over the low wall of the courtyard and climbed in, and he was as light as a swallow!
Yang Jing was worried that if he was one step late, the summer solstice girl would be killed by the assassin, so he immediately said to Tang Chong in a deep voice: "Action!"
Tang Chong is an experienced veteran of the rivers and lakes, and he has long seen the extraordinaryness of this assassin, and when he and Zhou Nanchu took Lu Yueniang to remind the Xia family, it is very likely that they have encountered this assassin, where do they need Yang Jing's orders, they have already rushed out one step in advance!
Yang Jing clenched the long knife in his hand, hurriedly followed, and only ran to the door, he heard a scream piercing the night sky, and then the sound of gold and iron colliding with swords!
"Bang!"
In order to attract the attention of the assassins, disturb the minds of the assassins, and in order to remind the people of the Cao family, and to warn Wang Dou and the fast catchers, Yang Jing kicked through the door without hesitation!
The scream of the summer solstice girl was enough to wake up the sleeping people, and at this time, Yang Jing broke the door with one foot, which was even more deafening!
Yang Jing came in with a knife, and sure enough, he saw that Tang Chong was fighting with the assassin, although Tang Chong was strong in martial arts and ruthless, but the assassin was not afraid, it can be seen that Yang Jing came in to support, and the assassin was also in a hurry to escape!
An assassin of this level must be more ferocious than a wolf, more cunning than a fox, more vicious than a snake, and more vigilant than a rabbit.
Seeing that the assassin was about to escape, how could Yang Jing let it go, although he didn't know anything about knife techniques, and would only rely on brute force to swing and slash, but he had the foundation of modern fighting techniques, and his reaction and speed were not bad, with Tang Chong in front of him, Yang Jing would be able to wait for the opportunity to attack the assassin!
Tang Chong and the assassins fought in a large range, they kept dodging and moving in the courtyard, and the collision of weapons became more and more intense, and when the swords collided, they could even see sparks splashing around!
Yang Jing was cruising outside the battlefield, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to move, although he never made a knife, but it also put a lot of pressure on the assassin, because he needed to be distracted and vigilant against Yang Jing's sneak attack, so Tang Chong quickly gained the upper hand!
Seeing this, the assassin also panicked, and fought hard, Tang Chong's blade was curled, but the assassin took the opportunity to retreat in the direction of the courtyard wall!
Tang Chong was not verbose, let alone shouted, silently dragged the knife forward, took a lightning step forward, and stopped the assassin with his sword!
This assassin is also a veteran, and he can't do anything about Tang Chong, so he turned the spearhead to Yang Jing!
Yang Jing has been waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, and from the way he holds the knife, it can be seen that his extremely lame knife skills are extremely lame, but the assassin is on par with Tang Chong, and Yang Jing is the advantage of Tang Chong's side.
If you want to defeat Tang Chong and escape, you should first deal with Yang Jing, who is easy to solve, which should be the best choice for assassins!
Yang Jing was also horrified, he asked himself if he was Tang Chong's opponent, he saw the two fighting and fighting, almost to the flesh, it was thrilling to watch, he wanted to attack several times, but he didn't dare to step forward, but now the assassin turned to attack him, Yang Jing could only raise his knife to block!
"Bell!"
At the moment when the blades collided, Yang Jing only felt a numbness in his arm, and an impact seemed to penetrate the entire arm bone, and the long knife in his hand was knocked out in one fell swoop!
Seeing the assassin's blade fall again, Yang Jing was also distressed, his mind was blank, and his mind was occupied by fear, which was really self-defeating!
However, the assassin's blade failed to fall, because Yang Jing saw that Tang Chong was right behind the assassin and slashed at the assassin with infinite power!
It is difficult to escape, and for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Yang Jing is also full of heart and gall, and he is frightened, but he suddenly remembers the heavy and chaotic footsteps around, and rows of human heads appear on the three low walls of the courtyard!
"The bold dog thief actually sneaked into the county government to commit murder, and he didn't arrest him with his hands!"
Wang Dou shouted, jumped down from the courtyard wall, and landed steadily, his steady steps seemed to be rooted in the ground!
"Huh!"
Wang Dou and the trappers drew their knives one after another, and the trapping nets and cowhide hooks and other instruments kept beckoning to the assassin's body, and finally the assassin was subdued!
Yang Jing saw that the dust had settled, so he secretly exclaimed that he was glad, his feet were weak, and he wanted to find a place to sit, but he suddenly woke up and hurriedly rushed into the room, and saw that the summer solstice girl was shrunk in the corner and trembled, her face was full of frightened tears, and she looked at the inner bedroom again, and found that Li Wanniang was not hurt, so she was relieved.
At this time, it was already quiet outside the door, and Wang Dou ordered the other arresters to search the streets and alleys around the county government in a carpet manner, trying to find out the assassin's accomplices and responders.
Yang Jing helped Xia Solstice up, and then returned to the courtyard.
Whether it was Yang Jing and Tang Chong, Wang Dou and the Catchers, everyone wanted to see the true face of this murderer, so they immediately disarmed him, tied his hands and feet, and then took the net that wrapped the assassin and tore off the assassin's veil.
"How are you!"
The moment the veil was lifted, Wang Dou and the catchers, even Yang Jing, were stunned!
Yang Jing couldn't connect the fierce assassin in front of him with the young man who was full of bureaucracy!
I still remember that when he and Xia Zhi went to Xia's house to investigate the murder case, this criminal case pusher, who was only twenty-four or five years old, was so disdainful of Yang Jing, and his lukewarm and superior face made Yang Jing a little unforgettable.
But he is such a person, with a good family background, who became a criminal case pusher through the back door, and has a lot of friendship with Yang Zhixian, and he is also the pusher in charge of the criminal name, and he is the real murderer behind the scenes!
"No wonder there are no other footprints and traces except for Lu Yueniang, Zhou Nanchu and Tang Chong, no wonder those pretendious people will make low-level mistakes, move the corpses out, and destroy the scene to a mess, because he is the real murderer!"
Yang Jing remembered the situation at the scene of the murder in the Xia family, and he couldn't say how uncomfortable he was, the real murderer was in front of his eyes, and it was simply dark under the lamp!
Zhou Wenfang was lukewarm to him openly at that time, so he pretended to be a straw bag pusher, and swaggered in front of Yang Jing, so that Yang Jing didn't expect that the murderer had never left, it turned out to be this Zhou Wenfang!
Yang Jing felt very uncomfortable, not because he was fooled by Zhou Wenfang, but because he also made low-level mistakes, he focused on analyzing footprints and other traces, and wanted to solve the problem from a professional point of view, but ignored the human factor, the first person to discover the scene of the murder can often bring the most intuitive clues first-hand, and it is precisely by ignoring this that Yang Jing did not find Zhou Wenfang's suspicion in time!
