Chapter 272: The Secret of the Old Habitat
After Shen Guo arrived at the old residence, he also took advantage of the night to touch the back door all the way, and the two of them happened to be at both ends of the alley with Le Zhengke and Wen Ren.
Through the concealment of the night and the concealment of the breath, Shen Jing was able to get closer, and he also recognized that they were carrying someone else but a person in a sack.
In addition, in addition to the people who were coming in and out of the dimly lit carriage, there were four guards with knives who were constantly on the lookout for the surroundings.
During the time that Shen Jing was watching, four people had been thrown into the carriage one after another, and Shen Jing looked around to find a better position to see if he could get closer.
A moment later, Shen Kuang jumped up against the wall and jumped onto the roof of the house opposite the old residence, although the eaves were a little farther away from the carriage, but the view was wide. Through the cover of the eaves of the roof, Shen Jing condescended not only to see the movements of those people, but also to see the layout of the backyard of the old residence.
The backyard of the old residence is only lit up in a few places at the moment, but the figures moving back and forth inside can be seen clearly.
Soon after, the carriage was loaded.
Shen Guo originally wanted to sneak into the old man's house first to find out, but after thinking about it, he still planned to follow the carriage first, and see where they were going to transport these people, so he could come at any time if the old man's house couldn't run here.
On the other side, when everything was ready, a man who looked like a steward stood at the door and said a few words to the people who were about to leave, and then he returned to the old house with the rest of the people.
After saying goodbye to the steward, the coachman drove the carriage slowly towards the entrance of the alley, and just happened to pass the intersection where Le Zhengke and Wen Ren were hiding.
Seeing this, the two immediately walked deeper into the alley.
In the panic, Wen Ren accidentally kicked a broken porcelain bowl, and the porcelain bowl fell to the ground with a snap and shattered into pieces of different sizes. But in the dead silence of the night, the sound was particularly harsh.
In the alley, there were two guards who left with the carriage, and the two of them were alert as soon as they heard the sound.
As the carriage approached, the two men walked towards the alley step by step with knives in one hand and torches in the other.
In the deepest part of the alley, Wen Ren Fuji and Le Zhengke each used a bamboo basket to cover their bodies, and they didn't dare to make a sound. But the basket wasn't big enough, and the two men would have been able to spot them if they got closer.
Wen Ren is not bad because he is nervous, and his forehead is already full of sweat, because he has just learned from Le Zhengke's mouth that these people are carrying people. At first, he was skeptical, but after staring at it carefully for a long time, he felt that the figure in the sack looked more and more like a person, so at this moment, he believed that Wenren was not bad.
The alley was dark and silent, and the light of the torches didn't shine too far.
Just as the two guards were getting closer, suddenly, a sharp hiss pierced the night sky, and a frightened cat screamed and fled.
This sound not only startled the two guards, but also Wen Ren Fuji and Le Zhengke.
After seeing that it was a crazy cat, the two guards also relaxed their vigilance, and one of them laughed at himself while collecting the knife: "It turned out to be a cat, it scared Lao Tzu a lot." Let's go, send the things over first, and maybe get a good night's sleep when you come back. ”
After that, the other person also put away the knife and smiled: "Let's go, come back quickly, let's have a drink and sleep again." ”
Then the two men did not go any further, and returned to the carriage with torches.
And Wen Ren and Le Zhengke, who had been staying in the deepest part of the alley, were also relieved and relieved when they saw this scene.
Wen Ren's hand holding the bamboo stick was full of sweat, and he wiped his hand on his clothes a few times.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
After a few moments, the carriage continued its journey and disappeared into the alley.
After those people left, Wen Ren was not bad and Le Zhengke did not come out as soon as possible, but waited in place for a long time to make sure that the people were really gone.
The two of them walked slowly to the entrance of the alley one after the other, and after hearing that people were not bad, they poked their heads out and saw that there were no shadows of those people in the alley, and immediately collapsed on the ground, during which he kept beating his chest with his hands, and muttered in his mouth: "I'm scared to death, I almost lost my life." ”
Le Zhengke, who was relatively calm, said suspiciously: "Brother Wenren, is there any news that anyone has disappeared in Zhijiang City recently?" ”
Wen Yan thought about it, and really remembered the scene he saw before.
Wen Ren sat down paralyzed and said: "Brother Lezheng, when I heard you say this, I remembered, about a month ago, there were many troublesome women who came to the old residence, saying that their husbands disappeared after working in the old house, and came to ask for an explanation." There were a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the old residence that time, and I was curious to take a look. However, where could those women fight the old residence, in the end they were not only beaten but also thrown out, and no one paid attention to it when they heard that it was best to go to the government to report the case. Later, those women were also stubborn, and a few left, but the remaining few shouted grievances in Changxiang Street, where the old man's residence was located, every day, but they didn't seem to have seen much in the past few days, and they didn't know where they went. ”
After hearing that people are not bad, a thought flashed in his mind, he looked at Le Zhengke and exclaimed: "Brother Le Zheng, wouldn't those just now be the husbands of that group of women!" ”
Le Zhengke pondered and said, "Even if it's not, it's some missing person." Brother Wenren, do you think about whether there have been other similar things happening in Zhijiang County or the surrounding places recently? ”
Wen Yan straightened up and thought about it, and said after a while: "I've heard of it, I heard it several times before, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now it makes sense." ”
Wen Ren was not bad and stood up and was about to leave after speaking, Le Zhengke stopped him and said, "Brother Wen Ren, what are you going to do?" ”
Wen Ren didn't say badly: "Hurry up and go, Brother Lezheng." We were lucky enough to escape just now, but if they caught it again, we would be killed. ”
Le Zhengke said: "Brother Wenren, if we don't care about these people's lives, we may be in danger." ”
Wen Yan said eagerly with a bitter face: "What do we do?" I'm just a beggar, you're no better than me, can we still fight with the government? Brother Le Zheng, don't be confused, don't think about what to do to save the people of Li at this time, your life matters! ”
On the other side, Le Zhengke, who calmed down, said: "Brother Wenren, don't be in a hurry, although we are weak, we don't necessarily have to fight with them, you can also think differently." Brother Wenren, you have been in Zhijiang City for so many years, do you know any other brothers? ”
Hearing that people are not bad, he calmed down a little, he looked at Le Zhengke and said suspiciously: "Yes, there are many people, but they are all beggars like me." ”
Le Zhengke smiled: "It's okay to be a beggar, it's not good if your status is too high." ”
Wen Ren didn't ask badly: "Brother Lezheng, do you have any ideas?" ”
Le Zhengke said: "If the government also colludes with them, then our reporting to the official is tantamount to throwing ourselves into the net, so I want you and your brothers to spread the news in the city first, once there are more people who know, then there will naturally be no shortage of people who are concerned." ”
Although he is a beggar, he also has a heart of compassion for others.
So after hearing Le Zhengke's proposal, Wen Ren didn't think it was feasible, and he would not push them to the front of the stage
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
People's attention can also continue to arouse the attention of others on this matter. Especially the people in the rivers and lakes, once there are more people in the rivers and lakes who pay attention, there will definitely be people who are upset and will take action.
Although he recognized it in his heart, his biggest wish at the moment was to leave here quickly, but he couldn't take his life without picking up the money.
So Wen Ren didn't say badly: "Brother Lezheng, your method is feasible, and I will mobilize my brothers when I go back." So should we go back and think about it for the long haul now? ”
Le Zhengke smiled slightly, hearing that people are not bad, and secretly screaming in his heart that it is not good.

Shen Guo followed the carriage all the way, and finally he found that the carriage was slowly driving into the Zhijiang County Ya.
The collusion between the small local government and the evil forces is tantamount to a catastrophe for the local people, and this is the case in the current county seat of Zhijiang.
After knowing the final location of the carriage, Shen Guo did not sneak into the county government again, but went straight back to the back alley of the old residence.
When he returned to the old residence, Shen Kuang deliberately walked through the alley that had attracted the attention of the two guards before, and walked all the way to the end, Shen Kuang didn't see anyone, only some broken porcelain pieces and two scattered bamboo baskets.
Although Shen Guo thought about it, it was meaningless at the moment or not, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
After that, Shen Jing cautiously moved forward against the wall, and finally leaped into the backyard of the old residence.
When he was on the opposite roof before, Shen Guo noticed that the layout of the old man's residence was intricate, not a simple large courtyard, but was divided into many small courtyards, and the courtyards were close to each other.
After falling silently in a small courtyard, he immediately activated his true qi to feel the clues around him.
In this way, after he walked through three small courtyards in a row, they were as empty as ever. This couldn't help but make Shen Jing feel a trace of doubt in his heart. What is the purpose of so many vacant courtyards?
With such doubts, Shen Jing silently entered the fourth courtyard next to him.
Soon after entering the fourth courtyard, Shen Jing noticed that on the other side of the opposite side, two figures were hidden behind the pine trees in the corner.
Without waiting for Shen to think about it, the door of the small courtyard was quickly pushed open, and the person walking in the front was holding a lantern in his hand, followed by five people.
The six of them laughed and talked as they walked: "Last time they were all children, and this time they are all men, and it's really boring recently." ”
The six of them saw that they had just finished drinking, so they staggered as they walked.
After the man finished speaking, someone took over and said: "That's right, I still remember the little lady from last time, the skin is tender and can pinch out the water." ”
After that, the group of six people was full of size, and they all showed lustful faces.
"By the way, brother, I heard that a big man came to our old residence today?"
"Not really! I heard that the county commander Cao came to greet him in person. ”
"Do you know which big guy it is? Could it be our Lord Taishou Wu of Nanyang County? ”
"It's also possible that Zhao Dian signed Lord Zhao."
Speaking of the pawn sign, another person said: "It's better not to be him, he doesn't seem to deal well with our Lord Cao, and if he wants to come to our business, it will definitely be affected." ”
After the man finished speaking, someone sneered and said: "I'm afraid of him, how many big people in our business are watching, unless he thinks he has lived too long." ”
As they walked and talked, they soon entered a room together, where the candles lit and the noise grew again.
Shen Jing didn't move first, he kept staring at the movements of the two people opposite, and it seemed that those two people were not from the old man's house.
