The entire Tai'an Building has five floors. The third floor is neither ascending nor descending. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is suitable for viewing. Therefore, all the lofty rooms are on this floor.
Now a total of six men in black came. After sneaking into the restaurant, they discovered that it was not as heavily guarded as they thought.
From the looks of it, it didn't look like there was an ambush at all.
Thinking that Xin Shun was in a hurry to go to the Military Town Division, and the Military Town Division was gathering the first batch of troops today, it was possible that he could not pay attention to this side for a while.
The six people went up to the third floor and turned the handrail to the left. There was no need to look for room Tianzi No. 1. There was only one room on the left with lights on.
"Quick victory." A man in black whispered.
The companions nodded.
They passed quickly and silently, putting their ears to the door, and there was the sound of books turning inside.
Xia Zhaoyi frowned slightly and raised her eyes to look at the door.
The leading man in black signaled to his companions, and then kicked the door open with a "pop" sound.
As soon as the door opened, there was a ventilation opening, and the river breeze rushed in violently, and the girl's high ponytail seemed to be taking off.
The people in black were stunned.
The girl was too calm, looking at them with a pair of clear eyes. Even though she was not their target, she was still too quiet.
After staring at each other for a while, a man in black said: "...We have been fooled."
Two men in black turned around to leave, and the leading man in black said, "Wait!"
His companions all looked at him.
"Did you watch "Shuoyunxi" for nothing?" said the man in black.
That makes sense! My companions nodded.
"Where's the little wife of the Huang family?" The man in black stepped over the threshold and entered the house, taking out the big knife in his hand, "Don't try to hide the truth and get away with it!"
Shopkeeper Hong heard the knock on the door of the miscellaneous room and found Ding who had woken up from a trance.
"You damn ghost!" Ding pinched him hard, "You said you wouldn't implicate us!"
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Shopkeeper Hong hid while pushing, "What happened?"
Mrs. Ding realized what was going on, said something bad, grabbed shopkeeper Hong and fled outside.
Just as he left the eaves, two bolts of lightning split the sky, piercing his eyes white, followed by a huge thunder.
Mrs. Ding was so angry that she cursed at God several times. Shopkeeper Hong grabbed her and said, "Don't make any noise!"
"What are you doing!" Ding shouted.
Shopkeeper Hong walked towards the lobby and looked up at the stairs.
Ding pulled him hard, and soon, Ding also heard the noise.
The last man in black was thrown out of the door, and Shopkeeper Hong and Mrs. Ding just poked their heads in.
Zhi Changle moved his wrists and pinched his finger bones, then he came out and said, "Do you think I'm good enough for a little girl?"
"Strong, strong man!" Shopkeeper Hong ran around the people in black, "Strong man, you are injured!"
"Who are they?" Zhi Changle asked with his hands on his hips.
Shopkeeper Hong was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say.
He looked across the screen and towards the dark room opposite.
The girl squatted behind the door, listening in horror to what was happening outside.
There was only one light, but when she realized something was happening on the other side, she immediately blew it out.
Now she could vaguely feel that things on the other side had calmed down, but she still didn't have the courage to go out.
"Is it related to the other side?" Zhi Changle said.
Shopkeeper Hong nodded helplessly.
"Okay." Zhi Changle turned back and entered the house, preparing to close the door.
"Hey, strong man!" Shopkeeper Hong said hurriedly, raising his hand to support the door and looking at him sheepishly, "strong man, please help us tie it up."
"..."
It wasn't until half an hour later that the entourage brought ten people over.
In the lobby of the restaurant, six men in black were tied up with thick hemp ropes. Four of them were half dead, and one was trying to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but to no avail.
Shopkeeper Hong called his attendant aside, whispered to him what had happened, and pointed to the upstairs.
"How can he be so skilled?" The attendant became interested, "Can I ask the shopkeeper to recommend you?"
"Well... they said they didn't want to get involved in unnecessary trouble, so they said they didn't want to see anyone from the government."
"It's strange," the attendant said.
Although the other party's concerns are reasonable, in the current situation, who wouldn't want to have more approaches and more backgrounds.
Afraid that the entourage would continue to struggle with this topic, shopkeeper Hong changed the topic: "By the way, Miss Huang has never shown up, she doesn't want anything to eat, and she doesn't pay attention to people."
The attendant nodded: "Her sister just died, and her mother also died. It's understandable."
"Um."
After thinking for a while, the attendant said: "I'll go see her."
The man in black was sent back first, not to the Congxin Government Office, but directly to the Military Town Department.
Shopkeeper Hong prepared a guest room for the entourage and the rest of his men to stay in tonight, and then cooked a bowl of rice porridge and gave it to Miss Huang according to the entourage's instructions.
Miss Huang was wary of everyone, but her attitude towards the entourage was slightly better. Shopkeeper Hong left after delivering the porridge. When she came out, she couldn't help but go to Room No. 1 Tianzi again.
"Is the carriage ready?" Zhi Changle asked after opening the door and coming out.
Shopkeeper Hong had a headache: "Sir, it's not easy to find a carriage with you in such a heavy rain. Look, do you have anything to order now? What can I eat?"
"Bang!" Zhi Changle closed the door unceremoniously.
Shopkeeper Hong almost hit his nose, secretly thinking that he was really a weird person.
There was a heavy rain and thunder, and the city was filled with water. On the way to Junzhensi, the carriage carrying the men in black encountered a carriage coming from the direction of the government office and rushing towards Xingzhong Academy.
The carriage stopped at Xingzhong Academy, and the two monks got down with umbrellas.
As soon as we landed, it was hard not to notice the row of gorgeous and wealthy sedan chairs on the right side of the open square.
On weekdays, there are at most ten sedans, but today there are more, say at least thirty.
The two idiots quickly looked away, pretending not to notice, and walked towards the side door of the academy.
The academy is very large. It was originally converted into a palace. Inside, there are twists and turns of corridors and waterside pavilions. If there is no one to guide you, you may get lost.
The two men were sitting on their knees in a side hall at the back, waiting for Xin Shun to come over.
The silk and bamboo in the front hall were melodious, and senior officials and generals mingled with each other. From time to time, heroic laughter could be heard, and the sound drowned out the thunderstorm in the sky.
After a long time, I finally heard the sound of the door opening.
"Mr. Fengcai is here." A guard said to them.
The two men quickly stood up and turned around to salute.
Xin Shun smelled strongly of alcohol, but he didn't drink much.
He took off his coat and handed it to a guard. After sitting down, he said quietly: "How is the body? What was found?"
The two men looked at each other, and one of them whispered: "Huang Xinyu, she is pregnant."
Xin Shun paused and raised his eyebrows: "She is pregnant?"
"I specially asked Mrs. Wen to check it again and again. It's been three months at least."
"this……"
"There's another piece of paper."
Wu Zuo took out a small cloth bag from his arms and unfolded it, revealing a piece of paper that was severely corroded by gastric juice.
"There are still a few words left to make out," Wuzuo said. "There is a name on it."
"what name?"
"He Yanpo."
Xin Shun raised his eyebrows: "It's him?"
The attendant on the side was curious: "Sir, who is it?"
"The name is a bit difficult to pronounce. You may not be able to remember who it is at the moment," Xin Shun said lightly, "but you must know that his wife's name is Tao Lan."
