Chapter Twenty-Six: The Coming Storm III
The city was quiet, and the shrill cry was unusually clear at this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 I've heard this cry, and that's what the Staman makes when he turns into a big bug.
"Let's go!"
I shouted and hurried towards the gate of the state office.
It seems that my guess is not wrong, the green liquid on Shi Dart's body is really strange, and Huang Zhutou is afraid that they have become that terrifying big worm, and it is five big bugs.
The two big red lanterns at the gate of the state government illuminated the outside of the state government gate, which was dim and dim, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the gate were reflected on the ground, swaying and shaking.
When we rushed to the gate of the state office, the gate of the state government was still closed, and there were bursts of angry shouts from inside, which sounded like there were a lot of people. I don't know what the two soldiers think, there is such a thing in the state office, and the door has to be closed.
Stupidity!
I cursed in my heart, and was about to push the door in, but who knew that my push didn't push. Those two soldiers were too cautious, and they didn't forget to bolt the door from the inside at this time?
There was a lot of noise in the state office, and we knocked on the door and shouted, "Open the door!"
But after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door, and behind him, He Yun suddenly said: "Dart, we can't get in at the gate, we might as well go over the wall and go in!"
I looked at the state government wall, this wall is only two zhang high, and there is a big tree next to the wall, it is easy to climb in, and I immediately nodded and said, "Quick, climb in from that tree." ”
"Tsk~~~"
At this time, a sharp cry came from the state government again, and this cry was very sharp and dragged on for a long time.
The state government seems to be even more chaotic.
I ran to a tree outside the walls of the state government and said, "Just go in from here!"
Who knew that when I turned around, I saw that the Baili disciples were staring blankly at the gate of the state government, as if they could see the situation inside through the gate. I couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you still standing there doing?" Come here!"
The Baili disciples reacted and immediately ran towards me, Yang Chong's face was a little pale, and he said, "Darthead, is that strange insect ugly?"
I glared at him and didn't speak. I jumped on the tree in front of me, and stood on the trunk, and I stood firm, and I was about to jump towards the wall.
At this moment, the gate of the state government was suddenly opened, and Huang Zhutou walked out with a few soldiers and shouted at us: "Gu Darttou, what are you doing here?"
I was stunned and stood on the tree.
I saw that the color on Huang Zhutou's face was normal, and he was radiant as usual, and there was a little bit of a big bug.
I couldn't help but feel a little strange, jumped down from the tree, walked to Huang Zhutou and looked at him carefully, and wondered: "Huang Zhutou, you ......"
At this time, I had a lot of things to say in my heart, but I didn't know what to say when the words came to my lips.
Huang Zhutou's face sank like water, and said: "Gu Tian, you and I have known each other for a year, and the relationship between you and me has always been good, but Gu Darttou can't do such a thing as going over the state government because of the friendship between us." Climbing over the walls of the state government is a big crime, you don't know it, do you?"
I chuckled in my heart, Huang Zhutou called me by name directly, that means he doesn't intercede with me now?
Putting aside business, with my friendship with him, even if I climb over the wall of the state government, he will turn a blind eye, and I have not climbed over the wall.
I frowned and said, "What do you mean by this, do you want to ask us about the crime?"
Huang Zhutou suddenly smiled, showing the same smile as usual, and said, "Brother Gu, how could I do such a thing." It's just that Brother Gu came to me at night, I don't know what it was for?"
I was a little stunned, the contrast between his two sentences was too great, and he seemed to be very angry when he said the first sentence, looking like he was going to ask me for sin, but in the blink of an eye, the second sentence was so amiable.
I have been in contact with Huang Zhutou for a long time, and I also know some code words in the officialdom, Huang Zhutou likes to say half and leave half in the mouth, and I am also used to it, just the rules of officialdom. But what he said made me a little confused, and I didn't know what he meant.
I paused and said strangely: "Huang Zhutou, has there ever been a strange insect in the state ya?"
Huang Zhutou smiled: "Brother Gu is really joking, how can there be a strange insect in the state office, wasn't that strange insect killed by you and me?"
I looked towards the state office, the movement inside seemed to be quieter, and the sharp insect cry did not sound again, I said: "But just now I and a few others clearly heard the strange insect cry from the state office, why is this?"
Huang Zhutou laughed and said: "Brother Gu is too worried, the brother on duty worked hard day and night, caught a boar and ate it with them, just now the boar suddenly broke free from the rope, and ran around in the state government for a while, and was just caught by us." Brother Gu was only afraid that he would be shocked by that strange insect, so he would mistake the boar for a strange insect, right?"
The sound made by Shi Dart Master when he turned into a strange insect was indeed very similar to the sound of a house mouse, but it was louder than the sound made by a house mouse, and when he said this, I carefully recalled the sharp cry from the state government just now, but I vaguely felt that it was really similar to the cry of a boar.
I was a little speechless, and I couldn't help but be stunned again.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Huang Zhutou smiled and said, "If Brother Gu has nothing else to do, please go back." ”
I still believe in Huang Zhutou's words. Although I have a lot of doubts in my heart, Huang Zhutou has said this, and he is safe and sound, so I have no reason to find out more.
Although I was still unwilling in my heart, I still hugged my fist at him and said, "That's ...... We'll leave you without bothering. ”
Huang Zhutou also hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Farewell." ”
After Huang Zhutou finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the state office, the door of the state government was closed again, and the two soldiers at the gate of the state government were no longer on duty, but replaced by two other expressionless soldiers.
I originally thought that the yellow catcher would turn into a strange insect, but I didn't expect things to be the way I thought, not only did the yellow catcher not become a strange insect, but even the skin on his body did not turn green. Could it be that I am the only one of the six of us who has an abnormality? Or is it because of the opening of the heavens in my body?
I walked back wordlessly, always feeling uneasy. Walking through the square, I turned a corner, and I saw the gate of the dart game in the distance.
When he was walking towards the dart game, Baili suddenly said, "Brother Gu, have you noticed that Huang Zhutou is a little strange?"
I said, "Brother Baili also sees it?"
Baili Tu nodded and said, "I can see what kind of boar you killed in the middle of the night." ”
We were all stunned, and then we laughed all at once. When Baili Tu suddenly said that, I thought he saw something wrong, but I didn't expect him to say such a sentence.
Suddenly, I paused, and a flash of inspiration flashed through my mind.
By the way, what kind of boar do you kill in the middle of the night?!
The state government is the place where the court officials do things, it can be said that it is the most important place in the city of Chenzhou, and even the gate of the state government is forbidden to make loud noises, how can Huang Zhutou catch the boar to the state government, and make such a big noise? Moreover, judging from Huang Zhutou's style of acting, he should not do anything to ruin the reputation of the state government.
When Huang Zhutou spoke just now, I always felt that he was very abnormal, and when Baili said this, I felt that something was wrong with Huang Zhutou.
Thinking of this, I said to the three of them: "I'll go to the state office to have a look, and the three of you will go back to the dart bureau first." ”
Yang Chong said: "Darthead, let's go with you." ”
I took the big knife from his waist and said, "No need, you can go back to the dart board and wait for me." ”
Before they could say anything, I had already tied the big knife around my waist and ran towards the state government again, this time I did not run towards the state government gate, but towards the courtyard wall north of the state government.
To the north of the state government is a dark alley, and there is a big tree growing against the wall in the alley, which can be seen when you enter the alley. I ran to the foot of the big tree that was attached to the outer wall of the state government, and with a strong leap of my legs, my hand just grabbed one of the branches of the tree when I ran upward, and with a little more force on my hand, the man turned over, and when I stood up again, my feet were firmly on the branch, and I was only three feet high from the wall.
With a slight force under my feet, I crossed the state government wall.
It's easy.
I don't know what the state government of Yongzhou in Hengzhou looks like, and the state government I have been to is only the state government of this Chenzhou city. The state government of Chenzhou City is very large, there are four two-story attics between the entrance of the state government and the lobby, and these attics in front of the lobby are the state government offices.
There are many attics behind the lobby, and I can't see all the state offices in the dark, so when I look into the state offices from my current position, all I see is the attic houses on the periphery of the state offices.
I jumped lightly from the wall, leaned against the wall of an attic and looked around, and after making sure that there were no soldiers patrolling the night, I ran against the wall to the office house in front of the state hall.
After I was stained with the green liquid in Shi Dart's corpse, the whole person became like a green-haired ghost, not to speak, I couldn't even move a point, if it weren't for the sudden awakening of the internal strength in my body, I was afraid that I would still be lying in bed. But Huang Zhutou turned out to be the same as me, and he was fine. Huang Zhutou's kung fu is not shallow, his most powerful is the kung fu under his feet, although he has not practiced internal strength, but his foot strength is amazingly fast, he relied on his extraordinary foot strength, in order to chase the golden flower thief all the way to Yongxing. Or does the green liquid only react to people who have internal strength, and not to people who have not cultivated internal strength?
At this time, I ran to the eaves of a house, and suddenly I heard the sound of neat footsteps from the house in front of me, and I immediately stopped my body and pressed against the pillar under the eaves.
As soon as I was pressed against the back of the pillar, a group of six night guards came from the house in front of me, one of whom held a torch in his right hand, his left hand pressed against the hilt of the broadsword at his waist, and the five soldiers behind him holding spears. This group of soldiers adjusted their steps, all expressionless, and walked all the way without even blinking an eye.
After all, he is a soldier in the forbidden army, and the military discipline is much stricter than that of the Xiang army.
After they walked over, I quickly rushed to the wall of the house in front of me, and ran against the wall to the attic in front of the state hall again. Bypassing four or five houses, I came to the lobby of the state office, and by this time I could already see the attic of the office, where the lights were on.
Quietly, I looked around for a moment, then lowered my body and ran to a tree in the attic of the office, holding my breath.
In the distance, I saw a figure swaying in the attic, and I ran here to hold my breath, just to hear what the people inside had to say. But I waited under the window for a long time, and no one in the attic spoke, and although the figures were shaking, they were silent.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no sound inside, and I was a little impatient. Standing up slightly, he moistened his right index finger in his mouth, and then lightly clicked a hole in the window paper and looked inside.
There are a total of eight desks on the first floor of the attic, and the desks are stacked with stacks of paper and documents, and there are two black wooden bookshelves on the left and right of the attic, and the bookshelves are full of books and papers. At this time, two officials were walking back and forth on the left and right bookshelves, sorting out the books on the shelves, and on a desk near the door in the attic, one of the officials was looking down at something.
There are no yellow catchers in the attic.
I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and I lowered my body and ran towards the next attic, and came to the second attic and looked in the same way, but I didn't see Huang Zhutou either.
There are four attics in the attic of the state government, and only the two attics on the west side are lit at this time, and the other two attics are dark.
I can't help but be a little strange, could it be that Huang Zhutou went out?
I looked over the fence to the south of the state office, where it was the state office's cell. The cell in Chenzhou City was built in the state office, which Lu Jingzhao specially arranged for people to do so, in order to facilitate the handling of cases. Will Huang Zhutou be in the cell? I thought about it, but I lowered my body and leaned towards the wall.
I had not walked long against the wall when I saw an archway, and when I entered it, a cell made of large gray stone appeared before me. The cell was large, with an iron door closed, and on either side of the iron door were two one-man high stone pillars, on which were two pitch-black iron basins, and the iron basins were burning with bright yellow flames. On either side of the iron door of the cell, two soldiers armed with spears stood apart, motionless.
This cell is closed all around, and I don't know if Huang Zhutou is inside, so I can't go to this cell because I went to see Huang Zhutou. So when I saw the cell, I immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
It seems that this trip was for nothing.
Thinking like this in my heart, I turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly, there was the sound of the iron door being opened behind me, and two voices sounded at the same time: "Mr. Zhuge !"
I paused, quickly turned around, hid on the side of the arch and looked into the cell, and saw Huang Zhutou and a man in a red robe walking out of the cell, and the two jailers were bowing down and holding their fists at Huang Zhutou.
The red-robed man was very handsome, and his skin was very white, and even in the dark night, there was fire on his body, but this could not stop the whiteness of his skin. The red robe on his body was very red, and the red was a little out of shape. Like blood.
I couldn't help but think of Meng Hanyan, this red-robed man was very handsome, just like Lin Nan who Meng Hanyan pretended to be at the beginning.
But I heard the red-robed man say: "This matter should not be publicized, you go to the world dart game tomorrow, and then go to explore the tone of Gu Tian, if he is still suspicious, you will bring him over, I have my own way to deal with him." ”
I was taken aback. I don't know this person, and I don't know what the relationship between him and Huang Zhutou is, but what does he mean by this? What I suspect in my heart? Isn't it true that there are strange insects in the state government?
saw that Huang Zhutou did not speak, but bent down and bowed deeply to the red-robed man.
I saw that the red-robed man nodded, did not speak, but turned around and walked into the cell, and when his figure disappeared, the iron door of the cell "creaked" and closed by itself. (To be continued.) )
