Chapter 372: Lord Wei, be careful

In the backyard of the village, Chief Hu of the Supervisor of the Ministry of Justice pushed open a hidden small door and immediately saw rows of low houses, smashing open a door closest to the entrance of the yard. The yamen immediately found that the house was filled with goods.

The yamen were very happy and just about to open the goods to check, when a few slight noises came from the main room in the middle of the yard.

The yamen next to Director Hu shouted: "The Ministry of Justice handles the case, and the people in the room will come out quickly."

After the yamen shouted, he listened carefully to the sound of "woo" and "woo" in the room, as if someone was covering his mouth and nose and was struggling with all his might.

"Sir," said the yamen to Master Hu, "There is something strange inside. Why don't we go into the main house to check it out."

Director Hu nodded. Lord Qiao was particularly concerned about Tan Shangshu's case. This time, Tan Shangshu and Chen Weicheng went out to "accus" Lord Qiao, so he asked them to lead the people all the way. Unexpectedly, they would meet Wei Tongzheng again here.

When arresting the Fang family, Lord Xiao Qiao made great contributions first, but how could the clues from the Fang family be as good as the affairs of the village? Not to mention the Secretary of War, if you look at them in depth, there are the Liang family and the Prince Huai Mansion. Even if the previous case was handled well, if Wei Tongzheng got the evidence first, his previous efforts would be wasted.

Master Hu thought this way and walked forward quickly, no matter how he was rushing to find out the details of the Zhuangzi in front of Wei Tongzheng's people.

"People from the Ministry of Justice, please stop."

A slightly hoarse woman's voice came from behind Master Hu.

"I'm afraid I'll be worried about my life if I don't stop."

The sudden reminder made Chief Hu froze, and the yamen around him also stood still.

Master Hu was about to turn around and look at the sound when he heard the sound continue, "Don't move, there may be firearms buried in this yard."

The word "firearm" made everyone's heart sank. Master Hu stopped his movements again, and he suddenly felt a little fear and vigilance.

The yaman next to him subconsciously intercepted: "Firearm? Where is the firearm?"

The yachao shook the torch in his hand and looked into the yard, searching for it indiscriminately.

Although Master Hu was a little panicked, he still maintained his calmness on the surface and lowered his voice and said, "Who are you?"

The woman's voice sounded again: "Caomin is a folk person... with Lord Wei coming to investigate the case."

Wei Yuanchen's man, Director Hu, raised his eyebrows slightly, and the yamen next to him breathed a sigh of relief. This person was sensational here, probably because he wanted to get time for Wei Tongzheng.

Director Hu naturally could not be scared by a woman, and he didn't even notice the clues. What can a small folk person know? What's more, the other party is still a woman.

Master Hu thought in his mind that he had turned around and looked at the door. When the torch light shone, there were indeed three figures at the entrance of the yard. It could be seen that there were two men and one woman. The woman was wearing a mili and half of her body was covered in a saro, making people unable to see her appearance.

At this moment, the woman was arching her body and looking at the ground carefully.

Commander Hu also lowered his head.

"Master Hu, is the soil under your feet a little soft?"

Director Hu's eyes just fell on his feet, and the fast boots were covered with soil at some point, which proved that the road he had walked was not strong enough.

Gu Mingzhu stretched out her finger and said, "Look, there are traces of digging in this yard, because it is very hasty and it is not very well covered."

Gu Mingzhu said as she lifted the corner of her skirt and walked forward. Liu Su next to her hurriedly said, "Miss, please call someone else to come."

Gu Mingzhu didn't care but instead ordered Liu Su: "Go and tell Lord Wei."

After saying this, Gu Mingzhu took the torch and shone it further away.

Seeing this, Liu Su had to act as the eldest lady said.

Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips, she was afraid that even if Lord Wei arrived, it would be too late. If there was a Ji Ku here, then when the people from the Ministry of Justice entered the yard, Ji Ku would have been triggered.

The yard is very strange, full of goods, and the main house seems to be locked up. In addition, the several traces of being turned on the ground are clearly like bait, waiting for someone to come and check, because no matter who finds this situation, he has to check it forward.

Commander Hu obviously also discovered the clues, and cold sweat slid down his forehead. He was usually very cautious, but today, because he was anxious and did not carefully check the situation in the yard, he unexpectedly fell into a trap.

"Sir... is she true?"

"Sir, it seems that the ground has been dug up, and there are still things exposed."

"Don't move around," said Director Hu, "Let's go out slowly and don't step on the dug-out place." Fortunately, the woman reminded her early, otherwise the person would be blown into the sky if he accidentally stepped on it.

As soon as Master Hu finished speaking, he suddenly heard a series of crisp sounds coming from his ears, as if the sound of rotating clumps, and then several arrows shot rapidly towards the main house.

The arrow was shot out and a series of Mars was carried. Rosin, sulfur and other substances were burned all of a sudden.

This is to use machine brackets to ignite the house, and there must be firearms and leads in the house. The house and the firearms in the yard explode together, and the people in the yard will not be spared.

With Miss Gu's reminder in advance, Mu Qiu immediately threw out the short blade and stone in his hand to intercept the rockets.

Arrows were shot down one after another.

Master Hu also came to his senses and ordered the Yamachao: "Stay in a hurry, look at your feet, don't step on the firearm, and rescue the people in the room."

The yamen responded and approached the room with a torch tremblingly.

Director Hu did not dare to be careless this time. He looked carefully and found that there was no mechanical slug at the door of the house. Then he opened the door. Sure enough, there were several women and children tied in the room. The dress of these people seemed to be nearby farmers, and they were caught here by those people as bait.

Director Hu spat and immediately stepped forward to untie the rope on a child's body, and took out the cloth from the child's mouth.

"Thank you, thank you, Master." The child thanked him repeatedly.

Director Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

The child's face was covered in tears and looked very pitiful. He stuttered and accused Director Hu of: "Those people arrested us and threw us here. I want to go home, wuwu..."

Gu Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw Wei Yuanchen coming. When Lord Wei came, she felt more at ease. Thinking of this, Gu Mingzhu turned around to see the children.

At this moment, she met the child's black eyes. The child looked at Wei Yuanchen straight, his hands clasped together unnaturally.

wrong.

Gu Mingzhu's heart was thrilled. Those people went through a lot of effort to arrange everything here, not just wanting to kill a few people, but they were bait and firearms. They wanted to kill at least Lord Wei or Qiao Zheng, so that they could strengthen their momentum. Using mechanical skeletons to control firearms cannot grasp the opportunity.

Only when something happens here will Lord Wei be invited to the yard, and then someone will detonate the firearms.

Gu Mingzhu immediately looked at Wei Yuanchen: "Mr. Wei, don't come over."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a nervous expression on the child's face, and the child did not hesitate to pull a rope hidden beside the curtain.
