Chapter 487
The curfew is still being enforced, but fortunately, Boss Ning is still a little influential in the capital, so he will do more, and he will go to Gaofu, so everyone will be released with face.
In the silent streets, there are no more frequent pedestrians in the past, but the dark night still creates opportunities for some lawless people, only to see that in a certain alley, there is no bright moonlight, and there are still people hiding in the shadows, as if waiting for something. This street is inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles, and these people must be eyeing something here.
A small spy-like person hurriedly ran into the alley, "came out, it was still the original carriage, it was Gao Zhong who came out to deliver it himself"
The man turned his head from the shadows, and saw the person's face clearly by the moonlight, it was the man in Tianqi Cloth Village, or the familiar name, the thunder god envoy "Guan Lingwei". Guan Lingwei spit out the hay that he had been biting in his mouth, and clapped his hands, "Everyone will set off immediately to the predetermined location, there is only one chance, and they all wake up their spirits."
The carriage walked on the bluestone brick paved road, and the soldiers on both sides passed by the carriage, and the commander looked at the carriage that flashed by, "Don't go so fast in the city!"
"Head, isn't there a curfew this night, and is there anyone driving the drunken people back in a carriage?" asked one soldier.
"What's the matter, it's all curfew, there must be no one who will drink outside, that car came out of Qinglong Street, drove so fast, it looked like it was sending others back, and you were in a hurry to go back to the store, you don't have to think so much, let's patrol the night with peace of mind" Wu Chang waved his hand and continued his night patrol work.
The speed of the carriage was so fast that it seemed to be in a hurry, and it was about to leave the intersection when it turned a corner, and the people on the other side also moved.
"Head, the carriage is coming" The person with good eyesight noticed that the oncoming carriage didn't seem quite right, "Head, not quite right, why is that carriage so fast!"
Guan Lingwei was also taken aback when he saw it, "Yes, why is it so fast!"
"Head, are we going to do it, we're going to be here right away," the other of his men reminded, after all, they only had one chance!
"Of course, everyone still follows the original plan, but everyone should be careful, this carriage is so fast, forcibly stopped, I am afraid that there will be a bigger problem. Guan Lingwei had no choice, he didn't have time to distinguish anymore, so he gave an order to act.
The carriage was speeding along the road, and suddenly a rapid copper bell sounded around it, and it turned out that countless darts flew out of the shadows, and several darts were tied to Tongling. The dense noise alarmed the horses pulling the cart, and at the same time the legs ached, and the two-horse carriage drove the whole cart over if one horse had an accident. Seeing this, the coachman driving the carriage was obviously an experienced man, although he struggled to control the carriage, but after all, he was unable to do it, and when the speed of the carriage slowed down a little, the horseman seized the opportunity to jump off the carriage, and let the carriage hit one side before stopping.
"It's now! Let's go!" Guan Lingwei pulled out his long knife and rushed to the place first, and the others followed closely and ran to the side of the carriage where the accident occurred. I didn't see anyone walking out of the carriage along the way. Just as they were about to think they had succeeded, Guan Lingwei pulled the curtain and saw that there was no one inside. Guan Lingwei immediately shouted, "Where is the coachman? Did you see the coachman?"
Everyone looked around, but there was no trace of the coachman, Guan Lingwei secretly shouted, "Danger!
Ten people didn't care so much, they slipped into the alley on the side as soon as they slipped through the smoke, hiding their posture, ten pairs of eyes staring at the road, but no ambush appeared, and in the end, only the soldiers who arrived according to the original plan for the night patrol were belated. The wrecked carriage was found.
Guan Lingwei frowned, "It's strange, it seems that someone saw us, but they don't see through it?" What is going on?" There was no trace of a fight on the road, and the officers and soldiers only returned to the official office with the carriage. Guan Lingwei left three people to monitor the scene, finding an opportunity to clean up, this night's actions were too weird.
So where is the escaped groom? It turns out that the groom is a high-ranking guard, who is very good at his skills, and his skills in driving the carriage are also extremely fierce. That's why there was a scene where people were recognized, but the carriage was controlled, but fortunately it didn't affect in the end.
At this moment, he had safely run back to Gao's house and appeared in front of Gao Chong, behind the screen, it was Gao Zheng, in addition to this one horseman, there were two other soldiers who also appeared in front of Shaoyuan to report.
"Fourth son, fortunately, he did not disgrace his life and returned safely, there are indeed people who ambush this carriage," said the groom.
"Fourth son, the father and son of the Ning family have been safely sent back to Qiong Yao Tower, do you need to continue to monitor?" the soldier asked.
Gao Pet didn't speak, and knocked on the table a few times quietly, "No need to monitor, let's not go too far, over in the carriage, but see who is and what flag"
The groom took out an iron dart, "Childe, there are about ten of them coming, and while ambushing the vehicles, this iron dart is scattered, and there is also an iron dart with a bell that interferes with the senses and the horses. What makes people concerned is that they seem to have chosen a very poor timing, and they actually chose the time and location where the officers and soldiers were ready to patrol, and they seemed to be novices."
Gao Pet nodded and waved his hand, "It's night, it's hard for you tonight, let's go back and rest first"
The three subordinates bowed their hands and retreated from the favored room one after another, returning to their respective rooms.
"Dad, what do you think about this?" Gao Pet asked his father behind him through the screen.
Gao Zheng said flatly, "Without him, it's just bait"
"Bait?" Gao Pet was puzzled.
"That's right, it's the bait that fishes you, from this list, to the ambush, to their retreat, everything is used to lure you out. Gao Zheng gave a very special angle that Gao Pet felt.
"Father, please give me some advice," Gao Zhong said.
"At a glance, I want to point the finger at the people behind the scenes of White Tiger Street, after all, you have already said it before, and you are not allowed to do it during this time. Now that a mysterious killer has suddenly appeared, can Baihu Street get rid of it? He just wants to spoil you to deal with Baihu Street, the people of Baihu Street are very shrewd, they have made so much money, and they pay the most attention to the rules. So they are the most suspicious, but in fact the smallest. The second suspicion, if they really want to ambush and kill, they can use more powerful poison darts and crossbows, and the success rate is higher, but they choose to use this kind of fist to embroider legs, obviously there are other plans, it seems that they intend to hurt but not kill, so that it will anger you, and it will also lead the suspicion to the other people on the list. Third, why is there such a list, and whose ranking is it? If you are the darling, who will benefit from the storm?
Gao Zhong arched his hand and said, "Father's words are like an initiation, the child understands, the child will go to Baihu Street tomorrow, presumably they know about it, and they are also restless."
Gao Zheng pressed the chair, "Deal with it in a low-key manner, if there is something, we will deal with it after the pony conference"
