No, just as he was about to follow the few people in front of him on the roof and approach the main hall, Lei Wanchun suddenly felt a chill in his heart and immediately stopped.
It's so strange. This courtyard is so strange. Leaning on the cold roof tiles, Lei Wanchun held the handle of the knife in his hand and looked around. The surrounding houses were dark, except for the bright lights not far ahead. As long as he didn't
He lost his footing, and those guys in the bright place would definitely not be able to spot him. But the feeling of danger deep in his heart became stronger and stronger, as if he had been targeted by a ferocious beast, causing the muscles all over his body to tense up suddenly.
Tighten.
After careful observation several times, he finally understood the source of his alarm. The road tonight was so smooth that he actually climbed over the back wall and walked back and forth along the ridge of the roof, approaching the house without even touching the ground.
Core! This is by no means a simple coincidence! Relying on his experience as a ranger, Lei Wanchun quickly discovered the anomaly in the courtyard at his feet. During those days of robbing the rich and giving to the poor, he often entered the courtyards of wealthy people.
.But whether you are a wealthy person or a rich man with only a hundred acres of land at home, you must pay attention to the Feng Shui pattern when building a yard. The main hall, side rooms, courtyards, gardens, and which rooms should be in the right place. They must not be like a shelter.
It was built haphazardly like a shack for the victims. And the courtyard below cannot be simply described as "chaotic". Although the main house and the side rooms are close to each other, there is a front hall for people to live and a stable for raising animals.
They were also facing each other corner to corner, but when they looked carefully from a high place, they suddenly discovered that all the buildings when combined turned out to be a complete "hui" shape. Although there is a corridor connecting the inner and outer courtyards, if
Temporarily knocking down the pillars of the corridor, the inner and outer courtyards can be transformed into two separate floors inside and outside within a few breaths. As long as the archers occupy the seemingly awkward small buildings in the corners, they can
The main gate and the second gate are tightly sealed. Even if the courtyard wall and the first courtyard are unexpectedly breached by the enemy, with the second courtyard, the owner can still stand firm and wait for help, struggling for several hours.
It was obvious that the house under his feet was more than just a stronghold. After understanding this level, Lei Wanchun could no longer resist the idea of continuing to find out. He bent down and moved gently along the ridge of the roof, with the help of Xue Wanchun.
The various buildings in the family courtyard are so close to each other for convenience, and we soon came to the core of the courtyard.
There are still three or four feet away from the main hall where the owner lives, but the roof ridge under his feet suddenly reaches the end. The main hall is actually not connected to the second courtyard, and becomes a relatively independent large house. There are two bright lights inside.
More than a dozen tall butter waxes illuminated everyone's clothing clearly. Because the fumes from the tallow wax waxes were too heavy, the windows in the front of the room had to be left open to allow people in the room to breathe. Lei
Wanchun found a place to hide along the eaves, facing the window. He looked inside and suddenly felt a shiver in his heart.
Sitting in the master's seat at this moment is some unscrupulous Wannian County head catcher. Looking at his clothes, he is clearly a high-ranking official of the fifth rank. And standing in two rows of respectful rows on both sides of the master's seat,
It's not just Chang'an, but also the chiefs, agents and gangsters from Wannian and Wannian counties. Several local "heroes" from Chang'an who had a chance encounter with Lei Wanchun a few years ago are also standing respectfully at the forefront of the team.
end.
The two officers who used the urinary tract for ventilation just now were obviously being scolded. They were half-hunched up like two cooked river shrimps. The senior official sitting in the main seat had a very bad temper. After scolding him a few words, he suddenly exerted force.
He slapped the table, casually pulled out a bamboo stick and threw it on the ground. When the two officers saw this, they immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed. The senior official ignored them, waved his hand, and ordered someone to drag them away.
Go outside.
The distance was a bit far, and Lei Wanchun couldn't quite hear what the people in the room were saying. Based on the few words carried in the night wind and the movements and expressions of everyone inside, he roughly inferred that the senior official was tightening discipline. And unfortunately,
Because of their actions just now, the two officers Liu and Wang were regarded as a warning by the other party. The two officers Liu and Wang couldn't complain, and were dragged out of the house by several burly men. They were about to be dragged out of the door.
, the officer surnamed Wang suddenly opened his voice and shouted loudly, "Spare my life, my lord, spare my life. I have something important to report!"
Lei Wanchun heard this sentence completely. Immediately afterwards, he saw the sturdy men dragging Liu and Wang back together. The officer Liu continued to kowtow and beg for mercy, but the officer Wang
He raised his head and said a few words loudly. I don’t know what he said. Then, the officer surnamed Liu jumped up and tried to fight him, but was held down by the strong men on both sides. The officer surnamed Wang hid aside.
They took a few steps, pointed at each other, and showed a righteous and awe-inspiring expression on their faces.
Immediately, the fifth-grade senior official stood up and shouted at the officer surnamed Liu. The officer surnamed Liu could not shirk it, so he had to lie on the ground and beg. The senior official seemed to sigh, and then waved his hands gently. There were two tough guys.
The big men immediately grabbed the officer surnamed Liu's arms, and another big man trotted to get a washbasin, and put several pieces of moistened thick cloth on the face of the officer surnamed Liu.
The officer surnamed Liu struggled hard, struggled, and finally stretched out his legs and could no longer move. The fifth-rank senior official turned his head with a smile, as if he had praised the officer surnamed Wang. Suddenly his face changed again, and he ordered him to buckle.
They grabbed his arm. The officer surnamed Wang was obviously dissatisfied and yelled at the top of his lungs. But no one paid attention to him, and several pieces of wet cloth were put on his mouth and nose, and he was suffocated to death in front of everyone.
The whole process was watched by the guards and heroes. No one dared to step forward to intercede, or even show a look of pity. The fifth-grade official seemed not to be satisfied yet, and named two more people from the team.
, slapped the table and scolded him. After scolding him, he dragged him into the yard and slapped him with a board. Seeing that he was beaten, the officer took more air in his mouth and less air came out.
Lei Wanchun, who was lying on the ridge of the roof, was cold all over, and the hairs on his back stood up one by one. He had killed people when he was young, but it was all done with a knife. He had never been as deliberate as a high-ranking official.
Let the other party die horribly. Not to mention laughing and taking the other party's life as easily as crushing an ant.
In the blink of an eye, two people were killed and two others were beaten to death. The fifth-grade official was finally satisfied. He paced back and forth again and preached a few words loudly. Then, he ordered someone to carry out a box and kicked it away on the spot.
, it was filled with yellow and white items, and it was so bright that it was dazzling. After the reward money was distributed, the military morale that had been sluggish just now was immediately boosted. He smiled, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and read it in front of everyone.
.Everyone around them listened with their ears straightened, with extremely excited expressions on their faces.
Lei Wanchun couldn't hear what the other person was reading, but based on his intuition, he judged that it might be a short-term action plan. In order to find out the secret, he moved slowly, and then turned sideways against the ridge of the room.
.There is a big locust tree on the side. Climbing along the branches of the locust tree, you may be able to hear the sounds in the house clearly.
Unexpectedly, not long after the man walked out, he realized that something was wrong. A guy dressed as an archer in the room suddenly pricked up his ears and shouted. Immediately after, the senior official immediately put away his words.
The paper was read aloud. Then, everyone drew their weapons and rushed into the courtyard.
"Who's there? I'm Xue Rongguang, please come into the house to talk." A man dressed as a headhunter shouted loudly as he couldn't see the situation on the roof clearly.
"Capsized in the sewer!" Lei Wanchun secretly cried out in his heart. Previously he just thought that the sky was dark enough and he could hide his whereabouts well. But he didn't expect that there was someone with Shunfeng Ear inside the house. Now there was a man carrying a weapon in the yard.
There were fifty or sixty of them, and there were even more countless other little miscellaneous fish sleeping in various rooms. With my own abilities, confronting someone head-on would definitely be an act of seeking death. I could only take one step at a time, and think of a way to escape first.
Thinking of this, he quickly adjusted his posture, and before others noticed him, he pulled out a three-inch long dart from the leg of his boot. He weighed the weight, put it upside down in the palm of his hand, and then stared at Xue County
Lieutenant, never blink.
"Friends on the road, please show up. Xue has always liked to make friends with heroes, and I will definitely not make it difficult for you. Come down and have a bowl of wine, and we can discuss everything!" Xue Rongguang smiled when he saw that there was no reply from the quiet roof.
, and continued to be tempting. At the same time, several officers behind him had taken several bronze mirrors, leaned them together into a fan, raised the torch, and placed it in the center of the fan.
In the midst of this flash of lightning, Lei Wanchun knocked out the dart in his hand. Then without even looking, he spread his legs and ran for the road. Hearing an "Ah!" sound from the yard, Wannian County arrested the head Xue
Rongguang fell on his back, with a dark dart inserted into his neck, and blood spurted out along the grooves on the edge of the dart.
"Xue Tou!" Several officers hugged Xue Rongguang and shouted loudly. However, the senior official in the fifth-grade uniform rushed over, grabbed a horizontal knife with his hands, and raised it high, "What are you calling for mourning! Go quickly.
If you chase him, if you can't catch him, everyone will die!"
After hearing this, the policemen, helpers and heroes in the yard woke up from their dreams. No longer caring about Xue Rongguang's life and death, they moved ladders up to the upper rooms of the houses, made detours along the walls, and decorated the houses.
The footsteps on the top were heard, and everyone was chasing after them. Only the archer who had noticed Lei Wanchun's movement with his extraordinary hearing before frowned, pulled out a wolf-fang arrow, and placed it on the bowstring.
"Shoot him to death, shoot him to death!" The patrollers who rushed in from the outer house were immediately inspired, shouting, while bending their bows and arrows. This is what Lei Wanchun is most taboo about. Seeing the tall man on the outermost side,
The wall was right in front of me, so I didn't care if I could jump that far. I jumped up and fell towards the wall like a wild goose.
Several eagle feathers that were not fully charged hurriedly passed over his head, and they were about to escape. Suddenly, Lei Wanchun swung the sword in his hand backwards, and then his body suddenly stagnated, and half of the arrow penetrated from the front of his shoulder socket.
come out.
"Yeah!" He groaned, and his whole body fell into darkness instantly.
