In the small courtyard of Tongluo Lane, the lady who went out to purchase was stuffed with sackcloth in her mouth by Li Quan and others, and her hands and feet were also tied with hemp rope, so she had to whimper and struggle.

"Go your separate ways." Li Quan made a pre-agreed gesture to the servants and guards behind him, and everyone dispersed without mentioning it.

Li Quan quietly followed behind them, observing the situation in the courtyard, seeing if there were other people placed in the third room, and watching the movements, strength and efficiency of those guards and small servants, etc., which are all important scales for examining people.

According to Li Quan's observation, this is a standard three-entry Huizhou mansion, which is not big or small, and it is a medium-level mansion. Judging from the location, it is also worth a thousand taels of silver

The handwriting is not small, and it can be seen that the ink is greedy.

Suddenly, the sound of a fight came from the front yard, and Li Quan quickened his pace, no matter what, rescuing Qian's three wives and children was the main purpose of this operation.

When Li Quan arrived in the front yard, he saw a few servants and servants in the house kneeling on the bluestone slab under the hall, and swept them at a glance, three servants and four attendants.

"Boss, there are these seven people in the front yard, and when I rush in, they are defenseless, and the brothers will take them down together." The person who spoke was called Zhang Maolin, who was neat in the house, and was also an important object of observation in Li Quan's operation.

"Good job, go back and add food to everyone. What's going on with Qian San in the backyard?" Li Quan nodded quietly in his heart, he was very satisfied with Zhang Maolin, but he still needed to investigate one or two more, especially how loyal he was to his master.

"We don't know anything about this, and we haven't heard any fighting. Come to think of it, the backyard is not like this. Zhang Maolin truthfully answered Li Quan's question.

Li Quan thought for a moment, and was still going to go to the backyard to check one or two, at this time, the front yard didn't need his own stalking.

"Maolin, you are here to keep an eye on the brothers, and also pay attention to the movement in the backyard, I will go to Qian San's side to see how the situation is. These villains, don't let them break off easily. Li Quan temporarily handed over the front yard to Zhang Maolin to take care of, and went to the backyard to see the situation of Qian Sanji's wife and children first.

Li Quan approached the backyard and immediately wondered, as the brothers said, there was indeed no sound of fighting, which did not conform to Li Quan's previous inference. It stands to reason that his wife and children are the only way for the three rooms to handle the money and do evil, and if they have manpower, they will also distribute most of the manpower around the gate of the courtyard where their wives and children are detained.

At this time, the silence in the backyard of this mansion revealed a slight unusual meaning. Thinking of this, Li Quan suddenly raised his vigilance against his surroundings, and clenched the knife he had brought when he went out of the door.

The footsteps were soft and light, and when he saw the true face of Lushan in the backyard, Li Quan was shocked.

Everywhere I saw in the backyard, there was no one in the middle of the house, there was no wife and children, no servants and entourage, and no servants and guards who came with him.

This is not the case.

Seeing this, Li Quan hurriedly blew the whistle hanging in front of him, which was the reinforcement code agreed with the other people who were squatting outside the courtyard before leaving. Relying on his own strength alone, maybe it will be a way back, and he will mess up the task assigned by the master.

To do things for the master, I can not make a complete plan. - Li Quan

While waiting, Li Quan looked up and down the backyard carefully. In fact, there is no one there. Then, there is no movement above the ground, and the only explanation is under the ground.

Li Quan stared at the bluestone slabs laid in the courtyard, squatted down and knocked on it with his hand, and then frowned and thought about something.

"Boss, in a hurry?" The little servants and the guards who were squatting outside the courtyard gate hurriedly came, and Liu Sanzhu, who was the leader, asked with a little eagerness.

"A few of our brothers chased them to this backyard and disappeared." Li Quan looked at the backyard shrouded in a strange and quiet atmosphere, and told Liu Sanzhu and the others truthfully.

Immediately, he raised his hand and said, "Brothers, be on guard, the water in here is not shallow." Hearing this, Liu Sanzhu and others gathered around, their eyes vigilant about all the surrounding situations.

Li Quan and his entourage slowly approached the backyard house, only to see him tapping the ground with his foot while observing the vigilance, carefully identifying the echo from his toes.

When I got closer to the house, I saw that the door of the backyard was open, and the situation in the house was the same as in the courtyard, and there was no sign of anyone else.

"Chief, this, is there a strange thing that a living person disappears in the daytime, will this house... It's not clean. A little guy couldn't help but ask out loud, with a deep fear and fear in his expression.

"What nonsense, you can't find it on the ground, so naturally look underground." When Li Quan heard this, he whispered the words of the little guy, but as everyone knows, the little guy almost collapsed to the ground with a weak leg when he heard the words.

"Ground... Earth... Earth... Under? Chief, I am not yet my own son, so please have mercy. When the others heard this, they all laughed softly, and they all understood that this was a misunderstanding of Li Quan's words.

Li Quan also shook his head helplessly, this courage and insight are too shallow, and Miss doesn't need such manpower.

"I mean, there must be hidden buildings in this courtyard, such as secret compartments or secret rooms, so I didn't find any trace of anyone else. The eldest husband stands up to the sky, how can he marry a daughter-in-law in the future? The brothers looked around for something unusual, but we didn't find it. “

Hearing Li Quan's words, the little maid and the guards put away the laughter they had just had, and dispersed, rummaging inside and outside the house for clues hidden in the shadows.

Li Quan also hammered around the courtyard with the knife in his hand, listening carefully to discern the echoes everywhere.

Suddenly, when I hit a rockery dotted with podocarpus trees in the courtyard, the sound suddenly became empty.

"Brothers, concentrate." Li Quan changed directions again, and his heart was already clear, and he hurriedly called the little guy and the palace guard to concentrate on the place where he was.

"Likely, that's it." Li Quan said.

"Boss, is there something mysterious under this rockery?" Liu Sanzhu looked up and down the rockery, except for the more expensive podocarpus planted on both sides, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

"Naturally. These people are doing those things behind their masters' backs, and some of them are prepared on their bodies, and they are always afraid that one day they will come out of the water and have nowhere to escape, right?" Li Quan said with a little contempt, and his words were full of disdain for these villains.

Li Quan immediately raised his hand and cut off the podocarpus on both sides with a knife, and now, only the bare rockery stone carvings remained.

Suddenly, a little guy shouted, "Look, boss!"
