Chapter 181: Escape 3
In fact, it is even more undesirable to pretend to be someone else's family, the deeper the house compound, the more numerous the number of people, I don't feel that I live inside, but all aspects have to contact the outside, as long as a person does not appear at the regular time, it may arouse the suspicion of the neighborhood and Lizheng. It's just that Monk Huihong is the oldest, the civet cat didn't say much, and Yang Zhi didn't mention it, and the two took advantage of the time to wait for darkness to discuss the route of the granary and the horse shed.
When it got dark, the civet first climbed the dry well alone, and then put down the rope and pulled Yang Zhi and the four people out of the well; in order not to show traces, the civet cat climbed to the mouth of the well by relying on the gecko skill, and did not use the wheel to draw water. Yang Zhi stood firm and found that this was an abandoned courtyard. Although in the moonlight, you can clearly see that the walls are intact and the trees are shady, but the residual leaves, weeds and dead branches all over the ground indicate that no one has taken care of them for a long time. It is not surprising to think that the firewood houses in the palace are all inaccessible, and a small courtyard with no one is like this.
Yang Zhi looked up, the moon was sparse, and a few clouds slowly drifted to the northeast; two cat meows came from outside the small courtyard, followed by the sound of patrolling bangzi, and the rhythm was completely different from that of Bianliang and Youzhou. Yang Zhi and the three of them looked around blankly, but the civet cat was very alert, and Yang Zhi asked softly, "Have you been here?"
The civet said bitterly: "I didn't expect the escape exit of the Li Mansion to be here, it is really the same as the hero, this is Yang Pu's mansion, and I am also here to make an assassination to prepare for the passage." The reason why this small courtyard is not inhabited is because the original owner, a concubine of the salt merchant Luo Lanling, killed seven Jurchen soldiers in a row when he was invaded by the Jin soldiers, forcing Zong Han to almost burn down the mansion. ”
Yang Zhi shook his head with a smile and said: "If it is really burned, it is now rebuilt, although Wanyan Aguda is known as a thrifty ruler, locking fine wine, gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury, and not enjoying it without military merits, but do you think that the Jurchen magnates are really people who live a hard life, Yang Pu is a good official, but he also wants this residence, right?"
The three of them all laughed, the Jurchens occupied the Bohai Sea, stook the land, robbed the people, and did nothing? It's just that except for a few big cities in the Bohai Sea, they are all poor places, and places like Liaoyang are also tax places that Wu begs to watch, and the wealth accumulated by the Jurchens is limited, so Zong Han and others still forcibly seize it, and the merchants in Liaoyang alone have died 300 households, and there are countless merchants who spend money to buy their lives.
The spirit cat's smile suddenly froze: "Yang Zhi, what do you want to talk about Yang Pu?"
Yang Pu was an old minister of the Liao State, who led 4,000 households in Tiezhou to surrender to Yan Aguta, and later helped Aguta establish the Jurchen script and the name of the Jin State. Yang Pu is one of the big people who promoted the Song-Jin peace talks, and his official reputation is usually good, and there are no major mistakes, but it is an indisputable reality that Luo Lanling's house fell into the hands of Yang Pu. Yang Zhi wanted to express more than this meaning, but he should suspect Yang Pu with ulterior motives.
Yang Zhi nodded and said: "The Li family has placed the exit here, and they must be sure to control here, even if that salt merchant Luo Lanling is not an ally of the Li family, he is also a person who obeys the Li family's words." The Li family wants to do this, nothing more than to control the Luo family financially, and send another master to the Luo Mansion; that little concubine killed seven Jin soldiers, how many Jin soldiers did the people in his mansion kill, Lingmao, have you inquired carefully? Since Zong Han washed the Luo Mansion in blood, didn't he find anything wrong? When the Jin soldiers entered Liaoyang, there were countless big families who broke the family, why did Yang Pu embarrass Zong Han for a businessman, I think Yang Pu should know some secrets, but he didn't know whether it was a friend or an enemy of the Li family. ”
Yang Zhi's analysis of the Li family's methods was very good, Li Wanhua's face became very cold, Yang Zhi's words were like a small knife, which made Li Wanhua feel pain in his heart, but the big man in front of him had a different sensitive mind; some inconspicuous things were connected by Yang Zhi in the blink of an eye, which made people have to believe it. The civet clapped his hands and said: "The momentum of Ah Guda was not strong at that time, but Yang Pu took the initiative to surrender, the world thought that he was a literati and weak, and now it seems that we are gone, no wonder the Jurchen can sweep Liaodong." ”
Some things, as long as you change the word, you can have a different understanding, the civet is familiar with the situation in the Northeast, and its brain is faster than Yang Zhi's reminder, don't say Yang Zhi and Hui Hong, even Li Wanhua also understood, Li Wanhua asked in disbelief: "Yang Pu is not a literati?"
The civet nodded and said: "Yang Pu is a master, not under the fire of Bolu, last time I was just familiar with the situation in Liaoyang according to the convention, and I was discovered when I visited this mansion at night, and the last person who caught up with me was Yang Pu himself, I fought with him, on par." But to be honest, the Goryeo side ignored Yang Pu, and I didn't think about it from other angles. ”
Yang Zhi stood up, handed Lan Bin's mask to Li Wanhua, and said to the civet: "Since the mansion is heavily guarded, I'll go out to make some movement later, so that you can walk, and tell me the terrain in the mansion and the way to Bohai Restaurant." ”
Now is not the time to be hypocritical, the civet cat said the terrain again, and said six other place names, before saying to Yang Zhi: "I will help you take Bao Xu outside the three main streets, throw it on the roof of a house, and wake up in twelve hours." The place where we meet in the city is the Bohai Restaurant, and I will leave a number on the wall to tell you where we met. If you don't see the numbers in three days, don't worry about us, and we'll only wait for you at the location for three days. ”
Yang Zhi smiled understandingly: "Lingmao, if we can meet in Youzhou, you and Monk Huihong will follow me in the future, be happy in the rivers and lakes, drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl." I'll go first, go to Yang Pu's side to see, if there is any extra money. ”
The civet smiled gently, Monk Huihong sighed, and Li Wanhua put on a mask and said, "Yang Zhi, don't worry, if I am surrounded, I will definitely destroy this mask before I die." ”
Yang Zhi stared at Li Wanhua's face, helped Li Wanhua adjust the position of the mask, and told Li Wanhua what details to pay attention to, after all, a young woman pretending to be an elderly man has many things that are easy to ignore. Yang Zhi was satisfied, took a step back and said: "It's okay to destroy the mask, you don't need to die, you are not hunted down, few people will think of a woman pretending to be a man, the most important thing you need to do is to find a place as soon as possible, wash your face, and change back into women's clothes." On the way, I asked the civet cat for advice, he is a master of disguise. ”
As an assassin, his identity is ever-changing, and it would be a joke if the civet cat didn't understand the disguise, and the civet understood that Yang Zhi was reminding himself to take care of Li Wanhua a little more.
