Successfully entering Quzhou is only the first step for Sun Ning and them, and the key is to find and persuade Gu Yaohua to abandon the darkness and cooperate with his own family.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to find Gu Yaohua, because according to the news that Guo Chong found out before, he has been promoted as the leader by many rebellious mine slaves, so it is only possible to live in two places in the city now. One is the official yamen, and the other is the original Zhang family mansion.

The three of them who had plans did not delay, and after descending the city wall, they quickly went to the center of the city. Whether it is the official office or the Zhang residence, all of them are located in the center of Quzhou City.

Under the cover of night, the three of them walked smoothly without causing any trouble at all.

During this period, they also quickly saw some problems, this Quzhou City is really a tight arrangement on the outside and loose on the inside, and the outer city gate and city wall are tightly guarded, so it took them a lot of effort to enter. However, in the city, it was quiet all around at this time, and there was not a single team of soldiers and horses patrolling.

Instead, they saw a few guys in night clothes walking in the alleys or on the roofs of houses. Obviously, under the tight guard on the outside and loose on the inside, some thieves and others in the city are not so peaceful.

In this regard, the three of them did not care, only cared about their own hurry, and when they were close to the third watch, they finally came to the local Zhizhou Yamen.

The official office was the same as its surroundings, dark inside and out, except for the dim light of the two lanterns above the gate, illuminating a small area, but not even a single vigil was seen.

This made it more convenient for the three of them, allowing them to enter the state government smoothly and conduct a good search.

As a result, except for some men living in a few rooms in the back office who were sleeping soundly, there were no more valuable clues.

Obviously, rebel leaders like Gu Yaohua still chose to live in a more comfortable and magnificent Zhang Mansion.

The three of them had to go around to the Zhang family's mansion half a street away, but before they could get closer, they saw that it was brightly lit, and two familiar carriages were parked at the door, which was exactly what they had seen outside the city before.

Seeing that it was difficult to enter through the front door, the three of them could only make a detour to the side and climb over the side wall that was more than two feet high before they could enter the Zhang family's mansion.

The scale of this house is not smaller than the Xie family mansion in Hangzhou, it is just a small courtyard that is turned into from the side, and in the depths of the front, there are dozens of courtyards connected together, and faintly, there are still people walking around, it is some people who keep sending all kinds of wine and food into the brightly lit hall.

Getting closer, Sun Ning and the others could even hear the laughter of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, which was obviously a scene of joy for the guests and hosts. It's just that here, it is difficult for them to enter again, because there are already many armed guards guarding the courtyard gate in front of them, and even those servants who have brought wine and food over will be carefully interrogated and searched, not to mention the nocturnal attire of the three of them.

The three of them did not dare to take risks, so they could only retreat a little and hide in the shadows.

"What's next? Wait for them to find someone after the banquet is over? Liang Wentong asked uneasily.

Sun Ning pondered for a moment and said, "He has nine achievements here, so it's better to stay here than to go to other courtyards to look for them."

"I thought that we had to know his mind before we could make positive contact, otherwise I was afraid that things would not work out and we would fall into ourselves."

Liang Wentong still agreed with this statement, so after nodding, they waited with peace of mind.

After waiting for a while, suddenly there were a few quarrels in the front hall, and then it sounded more intense, as if there was a crushing sound of cups and plates falling to the ground, which made several people guarding the courtyard gate a little nervous, and a few people turned around to go in to see what was going on, but they were blocked by several other people.

"The rules are what you agreed to before, and now no one is allowed to enter!"

"Hmph, who knows if you have set up an ambush inside, get out of the way. If my master is harmed, I'll kill everyone here! ”

"Do you have what it takes?"

The quarrel in the hall quickly stopped, but the guards at the gate of the courtyard were tense at this time, as if they were going to do it at any time.

This made Sun Ning and the others happy, if they really made trouble, the opportunity they were waiting for would come.

As a result, he was not happy for a while, accompanied by a person coming out of the courtyard, a few scoldings, and the guards on several sides also stopped arguing, obediently retreated to the side, and continued to guard, not letting anyone approach.

Then, there was another man with a short figure and a huge head striding out angrily, Liang Wentong saw it, his eyes lit up, he was the Gu Yaohua he was waiting to see, and the others were really here.

When two men saw him come out, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "General, what's going on?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a few quarrels, and things can't be discussed." Gu Yaohua said casually, and said, "If I go to the toilet, you don't have to follow." ”

After saying that, he walked straight in front of the guards, and he didn't even glance at them. Obviously, he said that nothing was fake, and his heart was full of anger.

And what made Sun Ning, who was outside the courtyard of the two entrances, happy that he actually came in the direction where they were, and after passing through the previous courtyard, he came straight to the courtyard where they were.

He didn't really walk up to them, but turned around a corner in front of him and walked into a small room.

"I'll go in and see him!" A great opportunity, how could Liang Wentong let it go, and after immediately explaining, he quickly pounced and quickly entered the hidden hut.

His movements were agile and light enough, and there was the cover of darkness, and none of the people outside the courtyard really noticed anything unusual.

Immediately, a soft cry sounded from inside the latrine, but it was quickly interrupted again.

Obviously, it was the two of them who officially took a photo, and the impact on Gu Yaohua must be not small, so he couldn't control his shouting.

Then there was a small conversation, and after a while, Gu Yaohua walked out again seemingly normal.

Only those who are most familiar with him will find that his steps are a little too brisk at this time, and it is obvious that he has encountered something to be happy about. But from his current expression, he couldn't see anything, and he still had the gloomy appearance before.

And as he returned to the hall over there and continued to drink and feast, after the guards at the gate of the courtyard retracted their attention, Liang Wentong walked out of the toilet again and came to Sun Xiao and the others, who had been waiting for a long time.

"How?" Xiao Qian asked anxiously.

"It's a bit complicated and he'll meet with us later. Let's go to the backyard and wait for him. Liang Wentong said with a smile on his face.

He really came to the right place this time, Gu Yaohua is still himself, and he has not changed because of the change of identity.
