Chapter Twenty-Nine: Infiltrating the Cow Mansion
As the night grew darker, Zhang Tian returned to Tieniu Town with a long sword on his back.
The seventh uncle took three hundred armor soldiers and hid in the woods outside the town.
Li Dabao and Shaochun wanted to follow him, but were stopped by Zhang Tian.
It's still unclear what the situation is in the town now, and if something happens to them, they may not be able to take care of it.
Daniel Zhang was not at ease, so he asked the ten sergeants to remove their armor and sneak into the town first, so that even if Zhang Tian encountered danger, he would not be alone.
Walking down the streets of the town, he glanced at the gate of the Cow Mansion with lanterns hanging on the other side of the road, turned around and went into the inn on the side.
opened a wing room on the third floor near the side of the road, blew out the candles, and Zhang Tian fell asleep.
It's still early, it's not the best time to sneak into the Niufu, and I'm a little tired after a day of running, so let's take care of my spirit first.
At that time, Zhang Tian got up from the bed, walked to the window, opened a gap, and looked out a few times.
After making sure that there was no one, he took out a black towel from the package to cover his face and got out of the window...
In the middle of the night, the streets of Iron Bull Town were empty, except for the faint chirping of insects, not even a dog...
Ergou is a subordinate of the Niu Mansion, and he is carrying a lantern and yawning around the mansion at this time.
"I don't know what kind of nerves the old man has, and he still lets people patrol the night in the middle of the night!" He couldn't help but complain.
He hadn't slept well for two nights, and in the middle of last night, he was tired to death by helping carry the box for half the night.
Today, inexplicably, they have to take turns to keep vigil, which is simply inhumane!
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black shadow jump down from the wall and happen to land in front of him!
Zhang Tian, who landed on the ground, was also stunned, this idea was too back, he met someone as soon as he turned in!?
Ergou's face trembled, and he opened his mouth to shout, but before he could make a sound, he felt a pain in his neck, and his eyes fell to the ground.
Zhang Tian dragged his two legs into the grass on the side.
After a while, Zhang Tian walked out wearing the clothes of his subordinates, picked up the lantern that had fallen on the ground, and walked into the distance with a big grin.
'Squeak'
With a soft sound, Zhang Tian quickly got in, he quickly closed the door, picked up the lantern and took a picture in the house.
When I saw the bad environment in the house, I was immediately happy, this room is the study!
He had been wandering around the house for more than half an hour, and finally found this place.
On the way, he met several subordinates who were also patrolling the night, but fortunately, it was dark, so he easily avoided it.
Zhang Tian blew out the candle to prevent the light from being seen by people outside the house, and after getting used to the darkness for a moment, he began to rummage through the house.
But after rummaging through the entire study, he didn't find what he wanted, which made Zhang Tian a little anxious.
Since the mayor's son is a eunuch in the palace, it is naturally impossible for him to leave the palace easily, so his correspondence with his family must be through letters!
If this matter is really arranged by the three princes behind the scenes, there will definitely be information about this robbery convoy inside!
Therefore, as long as Zhang Tian can find the letter, there will be evidence.
If the letter had not been destroyed, it would have been hidden somewhere in the house.
Over the years, there must have been a lot of letters exchanged and exchanged, and it was almost impossible to carry them with him, so the first thing Zhang Tian thought of was the study.
After thinking for a while, he began to knock on the wall in the study, and touched the bookshelf west, and even the calligraphy and paintings on the wall were lifted up by him to look at it.
Finally, under the desk, he found a dark compartment!
After groping for a long time, Zhang Tiancai opened the secret grid, only to see that it was full of letters!
He hurriedly picked up the top letter and read it in the faint light.
The content of the letter made Zhang Tian's eyes gloomy, and it was really about this interception of the convoy!
He carried all the letters in the dark compartment into his arms, this is not a place to stay for a long time, let's withdraw first.
As soon as I stood up, I heard the sound of a gong striking outside the house!
"A thief has entered the house!!"
"All get up, a thief has entered the house!
The second dog made people faint and was stripped naked! ”
Zhang Tian's face darkened, and he was discovered!
He didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly pushed open the door and ran out, if someone blocked the house, it would be troublesome.
At this time, the whole Niu Mansion was woken up by the piercing sound of gongs and drums, and many people pushed open the door and walked out, rubbing their sleepy eyes and looking around suspiciously.
The Niu family is the overlord of the land in this town, whose thief's head is funny, dare to come here to find it uncomfortable?!
Niu San sat up from the bed violently, and when he heard the movement outside the house, he suddenly fell asleep, and ran out of the house with his shoes on.
The concubine on the side was also taken aback by Niu San's overreaction, "There are so many people in the house, can you still let that thief run away?" Why is the lord so excited? ”
"Shut up! You little knows a fart! Niu San scolded and hurriedly ran to the study!
Niu San was just a peasant in this town in his early years, and it can be said that he was a poor family with four walls, and even eating was a problem.
In order to prevent his son from starving to death, he sold his son to a large family in the imperial city.
As a result, it didn't take long for the big family to fall into the middle of the road, and the son was sold into the palace as a eunuch by mistake.
When he learned about this, Niu Sanru was mourned.
If the son becomes a eunuch, then their Niu family will be doomed!
In addition, the family is too poor, none of the four earthen walls are not leaky, and my wife has already run away with others.
I'm afraid that even the widows in the town can't look down on him, and it is almost impossible to have another son to continue for the Niu family.
Who knew that within two years, he received a letter from his son in the palace, Niu Sandou didn't know a single word, so he took the letter and found the teacher in the town to read it to him.
After learning that his son had become the prince's personal eunuch, Niu San was mixed with joy, naturally he felt that his son was out of peace, and he was worried about the fact that the Niu family had no future.
He wanted to reply to his son, but the teacher asked him for two copper plates, and Niu San's pocket was cleaner than his face, so he had to give up.
It wasn't until a few years later that someone discovered an iron mine outside the town, and his mind suddenly became active, and he hurriedly wrote a letter about it to his son.
As a result, a month later, he was found by a group of tall and well-armored sergeants......
Niu San was sweaty, and hurriedly ran to the study,
When he saw that the secret compartment under the desk was opened, all the letters inside were gone, and the whole person was like a lightning strike, as if he had collapsed, and sat on the ground!
Originally, all these letters should have been burned, but Niu San was smart and kept an eye on it.
He didn't do what his son instructed, but stayed all of them, just to prevent accidents in the future and save his life.
"Come... Come! Come on! ”
Several men with big knives ran in, and the hairy-faced man who took the lead was startled when he saw Niu San's panicked appearance, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
"Did the thieves catch it?" Niu San's eyes were red, and he walked up to the big man and asked.
"Someone saw that the thief ran over the wall, and I have already sent someone to chase him!"
Niu San's pupils shrank, "Can't let him run!" You quickly send someone to block the entrance to the town, and no one is allowed to let Lao Tzu out! Who dares to break through and kill directly! ”
The hairy-faced man was stunned for a moment, didn't dare to refute, answered yes, and led people to the entrance of the town.
