Hearing a knock at the door, the shopkeeper stepped forward and asked softly, pretending to be calm: "It's getting late, the shop is closing, please stay in the store tomorrow as soon as possible." ”

I heard a hurried voice shouting from outside the door: "The shopkeeper opens the door, we are too guarded and come to investigate." ”

As soon as he heard that it was a person who was guarding the mansion, the shopkeeper hurriedly opened the door, turned around and walked towards the counter, only to see a group of officers and soldiers walking in with torches, and one of the leaders said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, please bring the registration book in the store quickly." This officer needs to check it. ”

He took the registration book from the counter and handed it to this person, and the shopkeeper stood aside silently, only to see that this person flipped through the pages by the firelight, and as the person slowly flipped over, the shopkeeper's eyelids twitched from time to time, and he thought about how to answer later.

I saw this person turn to the last page, suddenly stared at the three names on it and muttered for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "Shopkeeper, are these three people still in the inn at this time, please call them, this official has something to ask." ”

"I don't know which three the official is talking about? Wait for the villain to take a look before replying to the official's words. The shopkeeper saw that this person had just stayed on the last page of the registration book for a long time, and knew that he was referring to Chu Mofeng and the three of them, so he hurriedly stepped forward and glanced at the names on the registration book, and then shook his head helplessly and said: "It's really unfortunate, tonight is about the end of Shen You, these three people have already settled the accounts and left the shop, it is said that there was an accident in the family." ”

"Oh, is that really the case? Don't lie to the official, or if the official finds out that you lied, he will carefully arrest you and put you in prison for a while. As soon as this man heard that the three people he had named had left, he looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously, as if he wanted to see some different answers in his eyes.

However, the shopkeeper looked unfazed, and said slowly: "Everything the villain said is the truth, I hope the adult will see it." The villain has been operating in Mayi for many years, and the surrounding neighbors know that the villain never lies, and we are too shou Liu is also a frequent customer of the shop, do you think the villain is a liar?"

Hearing that his lord Taishou was also a frequent visitor here, this person nodded and said, "This official believes you for the time being, and I will ask you another question, do you know what these three people are doing when they come to our Mayi?"

"The villain doesn't know, you also know, the villain runs an inn, not a place to inquire about the news, sometimes it's not good to ask too much. When the shopkeeper heard that this person believed his words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then pretended not to know and asked, "I don't know what happened tonight?

Seeing that he didn't get any useful news after checking around, this person was very annoyed, sighed and said, "Don't mention it, you know that Zhang Lun from Yanmen County, right?"

"The villain knows, this person also sent his cronie Li Daolai to the shop today to book a table. The shopkeeper nodded.

"Who knew that this wine turned out to be a severed head wine, Zhang Lun had a banquet at home, and as a result, except for a few people who were lucky not to die, the rest of the guests and soldiers were all killed, that is, the Li Dao you said, let people cut off their limbs and heads, and the corpse was thrown at the door of the backyard, and Zhang Lun disappeared. You say ...... this."

Just as he was about to continue, he heard a soldier's voice outside the door: "Lord Liu, General Zhang's body has been found, please go and check it." ”

The officer, surnamed Liu, heard the soldier's words and hugged his fist at the shopkeeper and said, "Then the one who bothered the shopkeeper tonight, the lower official will leave first." After saying that, he waved to the soldiers behind him, and everyone left the inn in a hurry.

Seeing that these soldiers had gone away, the shopkeeper hurriedly closed the door and breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that these three people were really ruthless, and the people in the first house would kill them all when they said they would kill, and I don't know what happened to them at this time?

Just when the shopkeeper was thinking about it, Chu Mofeng, Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er took advantage of the night to walk slowly along the street behind the inn, and vaguely heard the sound of a large number of people walking on the street.

At this time, Gu Zhen'er immediately stepped forward and said softly: "Brother Feng, let's play big this time, it is estimated that the city gate has long been closed at this moment, we have to find a way to get out of the city." ”

Chu Mofeng took advantage of the moonlight to identify the direction and said: "At this time, most of the people in the city were led to the abandoned mansion in the south of the city by Zhang Lun's corpse, which means that if we make some more movement in the north of the city at this time, then we can make these people tired, and finally we will find a way to get out from the east gate and return to Jinyang through Yanmen County." ”

Liu Feiyan on the side said: "Brother Chu, what you said is easy to say before, the question is how to deceive the city gate, this is a very tricky problem." ”

Chu Mofeng smiled at Liu Feiyan, and pretended to say mysteriously: "Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the people of this mountain have their own clever plans." After speaking, a horse's head shouted: "Let's go, let's go to the north of the city and find a way to make some movement." ”

The three of them changed directions and headed all the way to the north of the city, and at this time, in the abandoned house in the south of the city, the official surnamed Liu looked at the dead corpse in front of him, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "This is a good thing done by a bastard, if I catch him, I will definitely give him a good look." ”

Then he turned to his soldiers and said, "Divide me into several squads, search carefully, don't let go of every corner of the street, and be sure to find those three people before dawn." The official suspects that the tragedy in Zhangfu may have been done by these three people. ”

One of the soldiers stepped forward and said, "My lord, didn't the shopkeeper just say that those three people have left?

The official, surnamed Liu, stepped forward and said a big mouth to his own soldiers: "You kid slept in a daze? Have you forgotten when to close the city gate? Do you want to send you to which gate to guard for a while?"

After this Qin soldier received a big mouth, he instantly remembered that the city gate had been closed for a long time at this time, and hurriedly covered his face and went down to arrange the task.

At this time, Chu Mofeng and the three of them came to the north of the city, most of the residences here are the mansions of some wealthy merchants and eunuchs, and occasionally one or two mansions are uninhabited, Gu Zhen'er stood on the roof of a family at the moment, carefully observed the terrain by the moonlight, and after finding the target, jumped off the roof, turned over and said to Chu Mofeng: "Come with me." ”

Then the two followed Gu Zhen'er to a mansion, only to see a lock on the door, about to be an uninhabited house, Gu Zhen'er saw this and jumped off the horse and stepped forward, took out a lock-picking tool from her arms, opened the lock with three separate picks, and the three of them walked in.

Seeing that there were no buildings in the courtyard except for the fence, it was estimated that it was an undeveloped wasteland, surrounded by weeds, Chu Mofeng motioned to Gu Zhen'er and Liu Feiyan to lead their horses out to look at the wind, and he found a fire fold and lit it against the weeds from the innermost.

When he saw that the fire was starting to burn, he turned and ran outside, igniting the weeds along the way with his fire breaker as he ran. When he ran to the door, he closed the door and bolted it inside, and then kicked his feet against the wall alternately, and the man instantly jumped to the top of the wall, and then jumped down.

Gu Zhen'er and Liu Feiyan hurriedly ran over with their horses, and seeing that the fire in the courtyard had become skyrocketing, the three of them turned over and ran towards the east of the city.

The officers and soldiers who were searching saw the fire in the north of the city from a distance, and everyone hurriedly reported it to the official surnamed Liu, only to hear this person scold a bastard, and then shouted to everyone: "Damn, don't look for anyone first, all go to the north of the city to put out the fire." Go to a few people and find a few carts loaded with water, and the rest of me will go to the place where the fire broke out in the north of the city at full speed. ”

A group of officers and soldiers responded in unison, and hurriedly followed this person to the north of the city, and several of them ran towards the place where the water wheel was released in the east of the city.

Chu Mofeng and the three of them vaguely saw a firelight moving rapidly from the south of the city to the north of the city, thinking that their plan had already succeeded halfway, and couldn't help but speed up their pace and run towards the east city gate.

Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er, who were following closely behind, also made an emergency stop when they saw this, and after stabilizing their figures, Liu Feiyan stepped forward and asked, "Brother Chu, what's wrong?"

Chu Mofeng motioned for the two to hide on the side, while he turned over and dismounted, pulled out the burning sky behind him, and stood quietly in place, at this time, the wind suddenly rose, and the moon in the sky quietly disappeared, and the earth suddenly fell into darkness, under the dark night sky, only the burning sky in his hand flashed a little light from time to time, and on the long and dim street, the boundless darkness was like a greedy giant mouth, as if it was about to swallow everything.

Time seems to stand still. Suddenly, a low rustling sound was heard, adding a sense of oppression to the boundless silence. At the end of the street, something seemed to be moving towards this side, Chu Mofeng tightened the long knife in his hand and looked ahead with a solemn face.

Suddenly, there was silence all around, and three golden lights flashed first, extinguishing the oncoming torches, and then striking out. The darkness covered everything, only the occasional tinkling sound and suppressed muffled hum could be heard, and after a while, the suppressed rustling sound was replaced by the sound of a broken sack falling to the ground, mixed with a slight moaning sound in the middle, Chu Mofeng retracted the burning sky in a dashing manner, and slowly took a step forward, only to feel a sticky feeling coming from his feet, as if he was stained with something.

At this time, Chu Mofeng said to Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er who were hiding on the side: "Hurry up and come over to mend the knife, and then strip off their clothes and put them on their bodies." ”

Seeing this, the two women took out a small dagger two feet long from their waists, mended the knives of the soldiers who were not dead one by one, and then took off three sets of clothes and handed them to Chu Mofeng.

When he came to the East City Gate, Chu Mofeng shouted to the city tower: "Open the door quickly, there are thieves in the city tonight, General Zhang's mansion was killed, and we will go to Yanmen County to transfer troops on the order of Lord Taishou." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a head flash out of the city and shouted, "What's going on in the city today?"

"Are you standing so high that you can't see the fire in the north of the city? Don't you know who lives there? Hurry up and open the door, delay the big thing, be careful Lord Taishou is asking for you. Chu Mofeng shouted at the people on the city tower.

The soldier at the head of the city rubbed his eyes, looked in the direction of the north of the city, shouted that it was not good, hurriedly ran down with a roll, slowly opened the gate, and shouted to Chu Mofeng: "Go quickly, give me the warrant of the lord." ”

Chu Mofeng was quite happy when he saw that the door had been opened, and then turned over and shouted to this person: "Open the door wider, otherwise the horse will not be able to pass." ”

This person did not suspect that there was fraud and hurriedly opened the door a little more, and then turned around and was about to ask Chu Mofeng to keep the warrant of the adult, as soon as he turned around, he felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him, and then his throat was cold, and the whole person slowly sat on the ground, covering his neck with his hand, a wet and sticky feeling came down his palm, and he was about to shout loudly, but he found that he was speechless, and looked helplessly at the back of Chu Mofeng and the three of them, and the whole person fell to the ground and was silent in an instant......
