Kujo-ri.

North Street.

This is the northernmost area of Kujo-ri, and it may not be as prosperous as the central streets of Kujo-ri, but it is closer to the inner city, so it is also a place where some wealthy and powerful families live.

At night, walking along this wide north street, you can see all the high-walled compounds on both sides, some of which are brightly lit, and the dark slum seems to be two completely different worlds.

The roads here are smooth, and the bluestone courtyard walls are clean.

in one of the compounds.

Several burly men, one of them carrying a sack in his hand, the sack kept writhing, and it seemed to be some kind of living creature inside, which he easily carried with one hand, all the way to the inner courtyard, and knocked on the door of the inner courtyard.

The door was opened, and I saw a young man in silk silk, about twenty or thirty years old, standing there, and said lightly:

"Brought?"

"Here we are."

The strong man under his command grinned, placed the sack on the ground, and opened it.

What emerged from it was not a wild boar or other beast, but a frightened girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, the girl wore shabby clothes, sewn and mended, obviously from a commoner's house, her complexion was slightly yellowish, and she was not very beautiful, but in this kind of world, among the poor people's homes, it was already very rare.

"Well, it's okay, it's better than last time."

Wei Lun forcibly pinched the girl's chin, observed it with a little scrutiny, and then let go of his hand, seemed to be satisfied in his tone, and nodded.

The strong men under him smiled: "We have been looking for this for many days, mainly because of those mud-legged families, and it is really difficult to raise any good goods." ”

"Cheng, I'll give you a credit."

Wei Lun smiled and said, "When I play, I'll give it to you, but give me a light, if you kill people like last time, and you don't have a chance to sell them to Dongcheng for money, the silver will have to be deducted from your salary!" ”

"That's that, let's be careful this time."

The strong men under his command laughed and rubbed their hands, all showing a little expectation.

And the girl who was tied hand and foot, with a white cloth in her mouth, listened to the conversation between Wei Lun and a few guards, and her frightened eyes gradually became a little desperate.

Wei Lun stretched out his hand to lift it, and dragged her up with the rope on the girl's body, and lifted her into the house, the girl struggled desperately, and kicked the ground with both feet, but where could it compare to Wei Lun's strength, and was quickly dragged into the house.

Bang!

The door slammed shut.

The guards outside laughed and walked away, chatting about some foul language, waiting for a reward later.

However.

What happened in the room at this time was not the fragrant scene that the guards thought.

Wei Lun walked into the house with the girl, and just closed the door, and was about to say something, but the voice stopped abruptly, because an iron sword was on his neck at some point.

In an instant, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his hand involuntarily let go of the person, and he didn't even dare to amplify his voice: "Master...... Uncle, if you want any silver, I'll give it to you right away......"

Wei Lun was terrified.

Obviously, there are so many guards outside, and he only has to open the door, and there is an extra masked bandit in the house, and he directly put a sword on his neck, how can the security in the outer city be so bad!

"Bring it."

Standing behind Wei Lun was a man in a black cloak and a mask, who spoke in a cold tone.

"Yes, yes."

Wei Lun responded again and again, cautiously walked to the back room, opened a box, and took out about thirty gold leaves from the box, as well as about one hundred taels of silver.

The man in the black cloak said coldly, "That's it? ”

Wei Lun said with a sad face: "That's it, the old thing only cares about his own enjoyment, and he didn't leave me a few children when he died, this is still saved by my frugality, and other families go to the flower street every day to play, I am reluctant to go......"

"Oh."

The black-cloaked man nodded, and suddenly the iron sword in his hand loosened, and stabbed straight into Wei Lun's throat, causing the words in his mouth to stop abruptly, and blood splattered in an instant.

Wei Lun obviously didn't expect that he had already taken out all the money, this robber still wanted to kill, he couldn't help but show an unwilling look, and made a ho-ho sound in his mouth, wanting to call the guards outside, but he couldn't make a sound.

Poof!

The whole person fell to the ground, twisted and struggled a few times, and gradually stopped moving.

The kidnapped girl next to her looked at this scene in horror, and did not show any joy because of this scene, for her, whether it was Wei Lun or the robber who killed people and robbed money in front of her, they were all terrifying villains.

“……”

The man in the black cloak didn't look at the girl next to him, but only put away the silver and gold leaves little by little, weighed them, and calculated them together, and the value of the silver was about four or five hundred taels.

It wasn't until he put away all the money that he glanced at the girl beside him, but that's all, and then he ignored it, and with his iron sword, he opened the window on the side and climbed out of it.

The girl who was left with her hands and feet tied was still paralyzed next to Wei Lun's corpse, panting violently.

It's only about a cup of tea.

There was a messy movement outside, as if a fight had started, but it lasted for a short time, about a dozen breaths, and everything fell silent again, and no one could even shout.

The girl huddled there in terror and fear, and stayed by Wei Lun's corpse all night, until the next morning, when the door was slammed open, and a team of errand servants entered.

"Hey, there's still one alive!"

Liu Song showed a look of surprise.

Li Tie looked at the situation in the room, showed a thoughtful look, and walked over and picked open the linen cloth in the girl's mouth with a knife.

At this time, the girl who had spent the night trembling in fear and fear, looked at the officials in front of her, and then she burst into tears, wow, wow, crying.

……

Half an hour later.

City Guards.

In Chen Mu's hall, Liu Song and Li Tie reported the matter in a whisper.

“…… It was on the side of Xiahe Street, the daughter of a family surnamed Zhao, who was kidnapped by Wei Lun's subordinates at night, and when she was about to do something evil, she was attacked by bandits at night, and she died cleanly along with more than a dozen nursing homes. ”

"Lord Chasi also went in person, examined the corpse and said, all of them are sword wounds, but the swordsmanship doesn't seem to be very home, but the strength is very amazing, it is not the same as a few things a few days ago, it should be the same person, it is estimated that it is either a famous bandit, or someone from the inner city came to 'do chivalrous justice, punish the traitor and eliminate evil', let us end this matter."

Liu Song and Li Tie explained the matter in detail.

Chen Mu listened calmly, waved his hand at the two, and said, "Okay, I know." ”

This incident has actually been decided by Min Baoyi, and he will not continue to investigate it so far, and there is no need to tell him, but the most work that Liu Song and Li Tie do on weekdays is to tell him the big and small things that happened when he was not in the City Guard.

"There's nothing else, I'll go first, you can just wait for everything to go as usual."

Chen Mu stood up and walked out.

Liu Song and Li Tie both saluted.

Soon.

Chen Mu returned home alone, came to his bedroom, and took out a burden from the bottom of the box in the bed, under a few floor tiles, and in the bag was about sixty or seventy gold leaves, as well as two or three hundred taels of silver.

There was also a crude iron sword without a scabbard, stuck vertically into the ground.

"I'm finally getting rich, well, I should send some more money to Yue'er, she also needs to spend money now."
