The leader of the secret guard looked at the two houses in front of him and said coldly: "Let your people evacuate this place."
"I understand." When facing these secret guards, Master Liu always had a deep fear, and he did not dare to resist at all against what they said. Besides, he himself was eager to leave as soon as possible.
After Master Liu left, one of the secret guards went around to the back of the house. His intention was obviously to guard the back door and not let anyone leave at this time. As for the other few, they jumped over the wall together and landed quietly in the house.
in.
At this time, most of the lights in the house were turned off, and only a few were still on, emitting a dim and dim light that was unable to dispel the heavy darkness of night.
There was a long-term worker responsible for the night watch who was yawning boredly on the steps. Little did he know that a disaster was about to befall him.
Before the long-term worker could finish his yawn, he suddenly felt something cold pressing against his neck, and at the same time a deep voice came from his ear, "If you dare to scream, you will be killed immediately!"
"Big... uncle... don't... don't kill the little one, little one... don't scream!" The long-term worker was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
The secret guard didn't talk nonsense to him and said directly: "Tell me, are there three young people under the age of twenty here?"
As soon as the secret guard finished speaking, the long-term worker said like pouring beans through a bamboo tube: "Yes, the master brought three beggars back a few days ago. They were all young people under the age of twenty. The master placed them in the back
In the side room, there is a person named Uncle Lao Ye, but I don’t know who they are."
"Take us there immediately." The secret guard's words made the long-term worker dare not neglect him, and he quickly took them to the room where Hongli and the others lived. As for why they were looking for Hongli, and whether it would be detrimental to Hongli and others, he was not concerned about it.
For him, the most important thing is to save his own life and don't accidentally leave it here.
With the help of the chief engineer, a group of secret guards arrived outside the wing where Hongli lived without making any detours. "Sir, this is where they live. I don't know anything, let alone talk nonsense.
Please let the villain go."
"Okay!" The secret guard spat out a word coldly. Before the long-term worker could be happy, the knife placed on his neck gently exerted force, and the sharp blade immediately cut his neck, and warm blood gurgled from the wound.
He came down and ended his life in the eyes of the long-term worker who was gradually losing his spirit. Presumably the long-term worker did not understand until his death why he had to kill him even though he had already done what those people told him to do.
He doesn't understand, because he is not one of those people who bleeds at the edge of a knife all day long. For them, staying alive is the biggest mistake, and they must be killed.
After dealing with the long-term workers, the secret guards quietly opened the door and entered the dark room. However, it was not a problem for the secret guards who were used to seeing things in the dark. Although they looked at things here
It is one room, but the left and right are connected, so it is actually three wing rooms.
After figuring out the structure of the house, the three secret guards entered another wing, and the leader of the secret guards stood by the door to prevent emergencies.
After the three of them moved to the bedside, they silently raised their steel knives, and then slashed them hard at the bulging quilt. One of the knives still had the blood of the long-term worker. All three of them used 100% of their strength. They must use one knife.
Kill, but as soon as the knife was cut, I immediately felt something was wrong. The knife was soft and there was no feeling of cutting the person. I quickly drew the knife and opened the quilt. Through the moonlight outside the window, I saw two people under the quilt.
A pillow and no one at all.
"There's no one on the bed!" Hearing the same answers from the three secret guards, the leader of the secret guards wrinkled his eyebrows exposed in the black scarf. Magistrate Yang clearly said that he sent people to monitor the house, but no one left. Why?
There was no one in the meeting, could it be that Magistrate Yang lied to him? No, since he informed Lord Yingge, he should not use any tricks. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Search these three rooms carefully.
, they might be hiding somewhere.”
"Yes." Following this agreement, several secret guards turned the house upside down and searched any place where someone might be hiding, but no one was found.
"Sir, there is no one everywhere. It looks like he is not here." Hearing this, the secret guard leader frowned even more tightly. Could it be that Hongli really got the news and escaped in advance? What happened to Magistrate Yang?
How did he do it? He didn't even know that the person had escaped. He was just a bastard!
Since the person is not here, there is no point in staying any longer. The leader of the secret guard said coldly: "Let's go to the prefect's Yamen."
After the house returned to its original silence, the lids of several water tanks placed at the back of the wing were pushed open, and then someone walked out of them. It was Hongli and the three secret guards who were eager to kill them.
Agui looked at the place where the secret guards left with fear. His breathing had not stabilized until now. The same was true for Zhaohui. After the shock in his heart calmed down a little, he said to Hongli, who looked the calmest.
: "Brother Si, how do you know something will happen tonight?"
The three of them had gathered together to discuss how to kill all the second elder brother's men after returning to Beijing. When it got dark, Hongli suddenly called for a servant and asked him to see if Buqi had returned home.
As a result, Buzy didn't come back until one night.
Zhaohui only thought that there was something going on in the yamen and missed the time to come back. After all, Buqi was a magistrate and could not do nothing all day. But Hongli's expression became more and more nervous as time went by. After that, he became even more nervous.
Turn out the lights and turn the bed
They pretended to be sleeping, but in fact the three of them hid in the water tank originally used to store water. Although they were puzzled by Hongli's arrangement at the time, they undoubtedly understood it now, otherwise, they would have been
There were three dead bodies.
Hongli's eyes shone coldly in the night, "Actually, I'm not sure, it's just a guess. I didn't expect it to come true. Zhaohui, think about it, since we came here, your uncle has been here
He will come back before nightfall, and even if something happens in the Yamen and he cannot come back, he will have someone come and tell him, but tonight there is no movement at all, no one has come back, and there is no news, as if he has disappeared. "
When he said this, Zhaohui also remembered this detail, thought about it for a moment and said: "You mean, uncle, something has happened to him?"
Hongli said in a cold tone: "Yes, your uncle once said that Magistrate Yang was promoted by Yingge and was not a trustworthy person. Therefore, we have been here for so long and have not revealed any information to him, and he, very soon
Maybe I learned from Inge that I didn't die. I can become a prefect.
Who among the people in this position is a simple thing? Maybe he has already suspected us, but he has just been standing still, and tonight is the time for him to take advantage." He has been surviving close calls, and running away.
, let Hongli no longer only know how to talk on paper, but only know how to read the words of saints.
