The group arrived at Liuguo Hutong.

The officials who were surrounding the house hurriedly came forward and saluted with the people.

Wave your hand cautiously.

On a rainy day, he was impatient with these false courtesies, and just wanted to understand the situation quickly.

The official knew his character, so he said: "The carriage came back again, and the people entered the house, and they didn't dare to get too close at that time, but they estimated that only one person should come down, and then the carriage left again." ”

"We haven't been out since, and we haven't scared the snakes."

"Sir, are you knocking on the door now?"

Shan Shen bowed: "Knock." ”

In the rain, the door panel was knocked on and crackled.

In the courtyard, Zhu Cheng was awakened.

After Li Yuanfa died, he panicked until the night, and transported the people out and threw them away according to the agreement.

I just came back not long ago, changed out of my wet clothes, took a hot bath, smelled the soothing spices, and slept for a while, but before I could sleep well, I was woken up by the movement outside.

He sat up straight and pushed the sleeping lady next to him: "What time is it?" How do I hear a knock on the door? ”

Wang Niangzi said vaguely: "It's not dawn, who will knock on the door at this time?" The old man must have heard it wrong because he had something in his heart, so go to sleep......"

Zhu Cheng listened reasonably, and was about to lie down according to his words, when he heard a knock on the door again.

This time, it was loud and loud, and it came through the sound of rain.

Wang Niangzi also heard it, and got up in a hurry.

"Say, who will it be at this time?" Zhu Cheng felt empty.

Wang Niangzi frowned and said, "When the master threw people into the alley, did he make people find out?" That alley is so remote and tight, it's a rainy night, and no one will go there! Isn't it that the master was followed early in the morning? ”

"How is that possible?" Zhu Cheng shook his head again and again, "Could it be that Li Yuanfa ......?"

"Mom opened the door before, didn't she look at people?"

Inside, the two of them muttered.

Outside the house, the woman asked through the window: "Lady, master, can we open the door?" They said that it was from Shuntianfu, and if they didn't open the door again, they would come in over the wall. ”

As soon as he heard the three words of Shuntianfu, Zhu Cheng's bloodless face became more and more like a white slurry.

"It's Li Yuanfa!" Wang Niangzi reacted, "I said how could the yamen let Li Yuan out, he must have voted for the government."

If he comes to the master, as long as the master confesses, he can be less troubled......

It's not a thing! ”

Zhu Cheng gasped: "What now?" Am I just being caught by the yamen? I didn't mean to harm Li Yuanfa, it was his own bad luck......"

Wang Niangzi's eyes rolled: "I'll go to stabilize the official errand, and the master will take the opportunity to ......"

The two briefly agreed on a few words.

The mother-in-law was instructed to go back to the gate first.

Through the door, she heard someone giving orders.

"After knocking for so long, the pigs are awake!" Shan Shen scolded, "Come on, go directly over the wall and go in, wait so long, wait until when you go." ”

"Oh, old man, wait," called the mother-in-law, "our lady is awake, and when she changes into the clothes of the foreigner, I will open the door." ”

When the official who received the order heard it, he turned his head to look at Shan Shen.

Shan Shen frowned and glanced at Xu Jian.

Xu Jian held an umbrella, and the umbrella surface was not raised high, covering most of his face.

Shan Shen couldn't see Xu Jian's expression, and it was difficult to judge what the other party was thinking about for a while, but the next moment, he saw the umbrella raised upward.

Xu Jian's facial features were revealed, his expression was still very light, and all his emotions were hidden in those dark eyes.

And his gaze moved up little by little as he raised his umbrella......

Shan Shen took a breath and looked at Xu Jian's gaze.

The eaves of the courtyard wall, the branches of the tall trees, the dark rainy day......

Beside him, forgive him for being clumsy, and he didn't see the clue for the time being.

"Are you ......," he asked, considering himself.

Xu Jian asked, "Master Shan, the officials guarding the back wall haven't been withdrawn, right?" ”

Shan Shen patted his head, reacted, and hurriedly stomped his feet to urge: "Hurry up, a few more people, don't leak all the walls on the left and right!" ”

At the back wall, Zhu Cheng trembled and climbed up the ladder to the top of the wall.

The rainy day was slippery, and it was not better than when the weather was fine, but he was still panicked in his heart, and his legs trembled like playing a lute.

finally climbed over the wall, but before he could sit firmly, the ladder was taken away by Wang Niangzi.

Wang Niangzi didn't dare to shout loudly, raised her head, and the rain fell into her mouth: "Jump, master jump quickly!" ”

Zhu Cheng didn't dare to jump.

The courtyard wall used to look too high enough, but I really felt too high to sit on it.

It was so dark that he couldn't even see where he landed.

Hesitating, hesitating, suddenly, several lights came from the left and right.

It was the lantern light, beaten by the rain, very unclear, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, getting closer and closer.

Zhu Cheng saw it in his eyes, he was really scared, he didn't care about whether he was tall or not, and jumped down with his eyes closed.

"Ouch-"

Shan Shen carried the lantern and rushed to the forefront.

Seeing a dark shadow falling from the wall, he knew that he had been hit by the Fuguo Gong, and the people in the courtyard were going to escape over the wall.

Approaching, Shan Shen pressed the wet lantern to the man's face, and then smacked heavily.

This guy can't do it!

Looking at this posture, it doesn't count if you fall and gnaw on the mud, and you roll on the ground.

Shan Shen recognized the man's muddy face, but he couldn't see the appearance, so he simply took out a handkerchief and wiped it vigorously on the other party's face.

This wipe finally shows some of its true face.

Shan Shen was surprised, but not so surprised: "Fourth Master Zhu? ”

Zhu Cheng fell hard, his whole body was in pain, he was surrounded by officials, he knew that he couldn't escape, he pulled the corners of his mouth and showed an embarrassing and ugly smile: "Since you recognize me, send me back to the house, I fell and was injured." ”

Shan Shen smiled, directly asked people to do it, and put Zhu Cheng back into the house.

He's not stupid.

really sent Zhu Cheng back to the British Mansion, and then handled the case and interrogated, it was strange that it could go smoothly.

Through the wall, Wang Niangzi heard the situation outside clearly.

After scolding the "useless things" in her heart, she began to think of a way to get out.

Before she could set up the ladder again, there was the sound of footsteps behind her.

She turned her head to look.

The person who came was holding a big umbrella, walking unhurriedly, and the rain wet his shoes, but he was unconscious, and his posture was still upright.

"Who are you? How did you get in here? She asked.

"Flying separately when disaster strikes?" Xu Jian chuckled, "That's right, you weren't a serious couple either." ”

Wang Niangzi sneered: "Serious couples won't fly?" ”

"Fly, Zhu Cheng must fly, his wife is still lying on the hospital bed," Xu Jian said, "You stop people for him so that he can escape, you have done your duty."

That is, Zhu Cheng himself was not angry, and he was caught looking forward and backward, otherwise, you would also climb over the wall wherever you are needed.

I'm here to tell you, don't think that if Zhu Cheng is caught, the people guarding behind him will withdraw.

There are still people staring outside, and you flip out as a result.

Save some effort and talk back. ”
