Chapter 337: Robbed
Yang Zhi reached an agreement with Sun Erniang's brother and sister, Yang Zhi paid 5,000 taels of silver tickets, and learned a clue that the shadow was a woman; Yang Zhi did not embarrass the two, and did not even ask the true identity of Senior Brother Wan, so he rushed back. However, they ran all the way to the small hotel where they met with the Zen Master of Burning Gold, but they did not see the civet and Chen Guang and his party, Yang Zhi estimated that they had another way to Mengzhou; Yang Zhi rested for half the night, ate a full meal the next morning, bought a mule cart for fifty taels of silver on the side of the road, and returned all the way back to Hebiji.
Looking for someone to inquire, the civet and others walked on the road on the east side of Yuntai Mountain, and a businessman from there told Yang Zhi that there was an accident in the dart of the Seven Star Dart Bureau, and it is said that Chen Guang was seriously injured, and the woman in the carriage, three dart masters, and a coachman were all dead, and the whereabouts of the male boss were unknown. Yang Zhi stopped a post man running on horseback on the road, spent twenty taels of silver, and figured out that Chen Guang stopped in the post house of Liyang Station to recuperate from his injuries, Chen Guang was stabbed three times, and now he is waiting for reinforcements from the Seven Star Dart Bureau and the Anyang League.
What Yang Zhi wanted to know was whether Chen Guang had robbed the property or done anything to Li Wanhua. Yang Zhi knew very well that from the south of Tangyin was the location of the official army, there were no large bandits, ordinary robbers looked down on the carriage of the civet, and some Xiaoxiao didn't even dare to sell Chen Guang's face. However, the post guard did not know that he had not been to the scene, and it was said that the local government relied on Chen Guang's description to say that there were at least 20 gangsters.
Yang Zhi went to the scene of the incident, the carriage obviously deviated from the official road, although it was not far, it was only eight or nine miles, but it was a ring road, which happened to be covered by a forest, and the people on the official road could not see what was happening behind the woods; all the bodies of the dead had been dragged away, and the depth of the chariot when it left was about the same as when it came, and when the civet fled, several boxes of jewels should have all fallen into the hands of Chen Guang or some people.
Yang Zhi believed that the attack was premeditated, and the person who shot it did not worry about the consequences, and even saved the procedure of leaving the carriage and letting many of his men take the jewelry separately, or that there were not so many people at all, and in the end it was just one or two people driving the carriage away. When the car prints reached the official road, they were blurred, confused in many carriage prints, and finally could not be distinguished; Yang Zhi could only rush to Liyangyi, even if it was a trap, Yang Zhi also recognized it.
Liyangyi is actually the original Liyang Town, where more than 400 families live, and there are also 200 forbidden troops stationed, when Yang Zhi arrived, the night was already very deep, and there was no one on the street, only patrolling officials and officers and soldiers. Yang Zhi gave up the mule cart three miles outside the town and entered the town on foot, fortunately there was a sign at the gate of the town, indicating the direction of the post house; Yang Zhi quickened his pace, and soon arrived near the post house, and two lanterns fluttered in the wind at the door of the post house.
Yang Zhi went around to a secluded place, kicked his feet, quietly jumped on the wall, walked a few steps with his body, and the ape arm lightly climbed on a big tree, and fell to the ground a few times. Yang Zhi was like a ghost in the middle of the night, walking in the post house in a strange shape, according to the strong smell of medicine, and finally Yang Zhi stared coldly at a two-story small building. This small building is a little special, from the outside you know that the decoration is very good, it is for the VIPs, Chen Guang is the head of a small county dart bureau, I am afraid it is not enough for this qualification.
The small building is a common model of the Great Song Post House, with a clear pattern and clear distribution, and as far as Yang Zhi has mastered the experience, he can guess the scene inside from the appearance. Yang Zhi walked to the side of the small building, took a deep breath, took a step into the air, when the figure was in mid-air, Yang Zhi made a step change action, with a breath of true qi, stepped on the wall;
Yang Zhi adjusted his lower breathing, like a tanuki leaning across the stone bar by the eaves, Yang Zhi adjusted his lower breathing, now he is more and more comfortable with the use of true qi, after making sure that there is nothing abnormal around, Yang Zhi moved two meters close to the stone bar, just above the window that let out the light. Yang Zhi listened attentively, and the sound of people walking in the building made Yang Zhi easily judge the location of the wooden floor, and this house with lights was the entourage's room.
Generally, thieves like to go into unoccupied or dark rooms, Yang Zhi knows that he lacks experience in this area, and he believes in his own martial arts, so from the beginning he made a decision by looking at the light from the window, and the window he chose was also to push the window. Yang Zhi heard the sound of no one in the room breathing clearly, and immediately had an extra dagger in his right hand, stabbed the dagger on the wall, and the whole person turned down and faced the window, opened the window with his left hand, and floated in ghostly.
Yang Zhi's movements were like flowing water, and in just two breaths, he had successfully entered the room and closed the window casually; Yang Zhi stood in a shadowless position, quietly listened to the movement downstairs and the corridor outside, and then opened the door and went out, and the smell of medicine and blood immediately pointed out where the injured person was, in the innermost room on the other side of the corridor. There was no light in the corridor, and the light was still relatively dark, but Yang Zhi only returned to the room in an instant, because Yang Zhi smelled a trace of danger in the smell of medicine, a trace of invisible danger.
The Dragon Bird Knife shook slightly, but fortunately, Yang Zhi used his internal force to control the knife in time, so that he did not make a sound; Yang Zhi dared to be sure that there must be a master of sufficient weight waiting for the guests from outside in a certain room. Yang Zhi knew that the other party had discovered him, and the sound of opening the door was so slight that it could be ignored for ordinary people, but for masters, the movement of the wind said everything, as well as the light that came out of the room. Yang Zhi was ready, but there was no movement outside, and there was no sign of danger approaching.
There was a commotion downstairs, Yang Zhi stuck to the wall, looking down from the crack in the window, a team of people with lanterns were walking towards the small building, there were officials in front of the road, there were monks and Taoist priests among the people, Yang Zhi was familiar with the figure of the Zen master who burned gold, and it was different in the whole team. Yang Zhi understands that this matter is very bad, and everyone doesn't know the gold, silver and jewelry in the civet carriage, but if something happens to the Seven Star Dart Bureau on the cusp of this storm, no one will think about it less, and they will guess that there is something strange in it, come and see Chen Guang.
Yang Zhi returned to the door again, and suddenly found that the dragon bird knife did not move, lying quietly in the scabbard like a toy; Yang Zhi opened the door a little wider, and the sense of danger disappeared. Yang Zhi has been paying attention to the movement outside, and there is definitely no one walking into the corridor, so there is only one possibility, that person is the same as himself, and he can't see people in public.
