Li Qiufeng didn't expect that the county yamen guards were so strict tonight, and he actually sent night patrols around the yamen. Fortunately, the torch light range was limited, and the team was far away from the strong autumn wind, so they didn't notice that there was anyone on the other side. Li Qiufeng met this team of fast catchers on a narrow road, and it was too late to quit the alley. He was anxious, looked left and right, and saw that the alley was extremely narrow, no more than five feet left and right, and only allowed the two of them to pass by. Li Qiufeng saw that the torch was getting closer and closer, so he had to use his right foot a little, and his body had already risen into the air and quietly fell on the wall of the county office.

When he crouched on the wall, he could only hear the sound of footsteps in the alley, and a group of shops with torches in their hands walked past where he had stood. I saw that this team of fast catchers were all holding steel knives in their hands, with solemn expressions, and they walked sonorously and powerfully, but they were all fresh faces, and they were all brought by Han Qusi from Luoyang.

After the team walked out of the alley, Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief. He crouched down at the head of the wall and looked intently into the courtyard of the yamen, but it was dark and dreary in front of him. Except for two lanterns hanging in front of the main hall dozens of feet away, there was no light in the courtyard. Li Qiufeng knew that the more this was the case, the more strict the defense within the yamen would be. The lack of lights is to prevent the enemy from seeing the situation in the courtyard. In this way, if someone rushes in, they will be caught by the trap who has already been ambushed.

Li Qiufeng pondered for a moment, and with his right hand gently broke off a piece of a tile on the wall, and then bounced the piece into the courtyard. After a while, only a soft "pop" sound was heard from three or four feet away. At this moment, I heard a sound of footsteps not far away, and I was running towards the place where the sound was made.

Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he hurriedly threw his whole body on the top of the wall. The sound of footsteps, which could only be heard, reached the point where it sounded, and then someone lit a torch. By the light of the torches, I saw five or six figures not far away, looking for something on the ground. Immediately after that, someone in the distance said loudly: "Old Mu, what can't be done?"

One of the five or six figures replied, "Nothing, I think there is a rat running over." ”

The man in the distance said: "Look at it carefully, even if it is a mouse, you have to catch it! Brothers, work harder, and after half an hour, someone will come to replace us!"

The old Mu agreed, and then said to a few people around him: "Put out the torch, let's go to the pool to guard." ”

A moment later, the torch was extinguished, and it was dark again in front of Li Qiufeng.

He saw that the guards in the county government were so tight, and he was thinking about how to sneak into the county office to meet Huang Chong and Yu Fan, but he heard a sudden sound of dense horses' hooves outside the alley, and it seemed that a large group of people and horses had rushed over from west to east. Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he secretly thought that it was late at night at this time, how could there be a horse team rushing towards the county office?

I listened to the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps passing by the mouth of the alley, and went straight to the main gate of the county office. Li Qiufeng paid attention and looked in the direction of the main gate of the county government. After a few moments, only the noise of the main entrance was heard. Immediately after that, someone in the far side of the courtyard shouted: "Someone is going to rush into the yamen! Everyone go to the door and stop them!"

The man's voice fell, but he saw dozens of torches lit in various places in the courtyard, and the guards who were hidden in various places appeared one after another, and ran straight to the main gate of the front yard. Li Qiufeng saw that there were hundreds of people in ambush in the courtyard, and they all rushed to the front yard at this time. He thought to himself, God really helps me! It's just that who is so bold that he dares to break into the county yamen at night?

It's just that he knew that the opportunity was rare at this time, so he didn't hesitate, put his left hand on the top of the wall, and fell lightly into the courtyard of the county office. After his feet landed, he carefully identified the direction, and ran towards the corner gate next to the main hall, wanting to rush into the back house from the corner gate, find Huang Chong, the magistrate, and inform the government that the widow had infiltrated the county seat of Xiuwu.

How do you know that he can run to the corner gate, but he can hear a chaotic footsteps in the corner gate, mixed with the sound of talking. Li Qiufeng was stunned, and hurriedly leaned to the side against the wall next to the corner door. He had just finished hiding, and several people had already walked out of the corner door. I only heard one of them say: "What kind of crazy person is he doing in the middle of the night?

This man's voice fell, but he heard Huang Chong's voice ring: "We also have to be considerate of him, after all, his only son is dead." Lao Hu has made such a big family business, and no one inherits it, can you not be anxious?"

The man who had spoken earlier snorted and said, "If we hadn't spent a lot of money on it, would he have been able to earn this family business? Now that a great disaster is coming, he still gave us this trick in order to kill us all? And when he arrived, he said that he had only brought thirty or forty people. We didn't expect that he also secretly brought soldiers and horses and hid them in a secret place outside the city. Rushing at him to ambush us about it, I'm afraid he has already got two hearts. Now he ordered his soldiers to openly break the city gate and rush into the city, if the matter spread to the sixth department, it alarmed Jinyiwei and Dongchang, I am afraid that things will not be cleaned up. ”

Several people hurried to the front yard as they spoke, and after a while, they had passed through the corner gate of the second courtyard and walked into the front yard. It was because of what these people said later, Li Qiufeng didn't hear it clearly. It's just that after listening to these words, Li Qiufeng was suspicious in his heart. The two people who spoke just now, one was Huang Chong, the magistrate of Xiuwu County, and the other was a little familiar when he heard the voice, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. As for the others, they never spoke. There was no light when these men walked, so it was impossible to tell who they were. However, listening to the two people who spoke, the person who led people to break into the county yamen at night was Hu Kun, the commander of Ruyangwei. Because Hu Yiyue is Hu Kun's only son, he was suddenly killed tonight. And only Hu Kun is the general of the army and has the right to lead the troops. It's just that Li Qiufeng didn't expect Hu Kun to come to Xiuwu County this time, and he secretly brought soldiers and horses, and at this time, he openly broke through the city gate and broke into the city. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, this is no different from rebellion. Thinking that Hu Yiyue was killed, Hu Kun was dizzy and had no scruples in his actions.

He thought about it for a moment, only to feel that things were getting more and more weird, and it was very easy for him to be noticed standing here. He looked left and right, and then strode to the front yard. When he passed through the corner gate, he saw a torch in the front yard, illuminating the surroundings. At this time, he found that the courtyard was not only crowded with people who were dressed in civilian clothes. These men carried swords in their hands and stood guard in the courtyard with the crowd.

Li Qiufeng walked out of the corner gate, and everyone in the courtyard stared at the main gate of the yamen, so that no one noticed that someone came out behind him. Li Qiufeng took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd, pretending to be indifferent, and stared closely at the main entrance of the yamen. It's just that he took a closer look, but saw a few people standing on the stone steps at the gate, among which there were Cai Xiao, the owner of Shanxi Biyunwu, who participated in tonight's banquet, Shi Nianhao, the head of Luoyang Shijiadao, and Yang Ziqiao, the head of Lei Fist.

Li Qiufeng saw that these three people were also in the county government, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked. secretly thought that although these three people were from the martial arts, in terms of martial arts and the status of the three in the rivers and lakes, they were not only far below Liu Yong, Chu Danyang and others, but also mediocre in knowledge, and they were just third-rate characters in the rivers and lakes. Huang Chong actually asked these three people to assist in arresting and guarding the county office, and he had to make a joke. Just thinking about it, famous sects such as Huashan, Kunlun, Emei and other famous sects have a transcendent status, and Huang Chongsheng was afraid that he would not be able to move these sects, but he would lose face, so he invited Cai Xiao and others to guard the yamen.

Standing beside Li Qiufeng were not only the fast catchers, but also the people in the rivers and lakes in civilian clothes. I only heard a man in black whisper to the other two men in gray: "Lao Li, Brother Peng, although our Shi Jiadao has a holiday with your Thunder Fist Sect, but now it is a time of crisis. If there is a fight after a while, everyone should work together and don't stab in the back!"

A gray-clothed man sneered, and said, "Qi Hall Master, as long as you Shi Family Sword don't make trouble, our Thunder Fist Sect will naturally not be embarrassed by you." Although Li has never read a book, he has always heard the sentence that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. ”

The Qi hall master who spoke before was stunned for a moment, and said in his mouth: "Skirt King Thorn Han? What does this mean? Our old Qi is a rough person, I have only heard of Jing Ke Thorn Qin, but I have never heard of any Skirt King Thorn Han." What kind of king is the king of skirts, is it the king who wears skirts?"
