The housekeeper watched his servants dig the soil, with a trace of anxiety flashing in his eyes. He never thought that in order not to be discovered, he ordered the people to dig deeper. Now that it is better, it is really difficult to dig out again.
While they were sweating profusely while digging, they didn't notice at all that a scout had already come over. When they saw the excavation was going on here, they immediately went back and reported to the team leader.
"Team leader, we found it."
The scout found the team leader and spoke to him excitedly.
"found it?
Live or die?"
Hearing what the scout said, the team leader also became excited.
"It's very likely that it won't work. I saw a group of people digging in the backyard with shovels. They probably want to dig out the body and destroy the traces of the body."
The scout thought for a moment, then directly expressed his thoughts to the leader of the team.
"Gather the people together, come and get the stolen goods together."
After the team leader heard this, he was silent for a while, then gathered the scouts and slowly surrounded the housekeeper.
"Butler, we dug it out."
A servant's shout reached directly to the butler's ears.
"Damn it, keep your voice down, there are city defense troops outside now, wouldn't it be better if you just tell them directly."
The housekeeper kicked the servant directly, "What time is it now? You are so loud. Don't take him with you if you want to die."
"What was dug up?"
"The corpse of a drunkard."
The servant was in a daze after being kicked when he suddenly heard this question and immediately answered it.
"Um?
Who are you?"
After answering the question, the servant asked directly.
"who?"
Hearing what the servant said, the housekeeper was also stunned. He turned around and saw a team of scouts surrounding him.
"Wu Qi, led by the city defense army's scout team, since it is the body of a drunkard, would you please come with me."
The team leader smiled slightly and directly revealed his identity.
"Someone come quickly."
Upon hearing the identity of the team leader, the housekeeper shouted loudly,
Now it can be said that the eight people who took the stolen goods and eight lives, or the eight people who just helped them testify during the day, were slaughtered in such a daze. If outsiders find out, the Qiao family will really be finished. The only thing that can be done now is
Call the servants and keep all these people.
"Shut up."
The team leader glanced at the butler, frowned involuntarily, then pulled out a knife and pressed it on his neck. The other scouts also drew their knives and pressed it on the necks of the other servants.
"who?"
There was a lot of commotion here. After hearing what the housekeeper said, there were two to three hundred servants guarding the Qiao Family Mansion, and they surrounded them with open fires and swords.
"I am a member of the city defense army. I am arresting criminals now. If you are wise, please get out of my way. Otherwise, I will block the army and be executed."
Seeing the Qiao family servant coming over, Wu Qi directly shouted to the person in front of him.
"Zhan Lijue, what a great official power. This is our Qiao family, the palace of the chief registrar. Come in as you say. Is this the city defense army?
I think you are just bandits, why are you still standing there?
Kill these robbers."
When the housekeeper saw that his people had surrounded them, he directly asked them to kill these city defense troops. As long as he killed them, the situation here would not be spread, and then the Qiao family would be fine. But if these corpses really
If they are taken out, the Qiao family will really be doomed.
"Shut up."
Wu Qi's knife exerted a slight force, and a bloody mark was cut directly on the butler's neck.
"What are you waiting for?
Leave me alone, the Qiao family has treated you well, now is the time to repay you."
Although the housekeeper's neck was bleeding, he was not afraid at all. His father was the housekeeper of the Qiao family and worked as an errand for Qiao Xu's father.
In this generation, he can be regarded as the son who inherited his father's business as a housekeeper and became the housekeeper for Qiao Xu. He has long regarded himself as a member of the Qiao family.
Now that the Qiao family is in danger, he will help Qiao Xu to defend the Qiao family even if he dies. If he has the intention to die, he will not care about the knife on his neck.
"boom."
Wu Qi knocked the butler unconscious with the handle of his knife, but when he looked over again, the servants around him had already drawn out their steel knives and started to press towards them.
"I am a city defense soldier. If you are not afraid of death, come and try."
Seeing the bright steel swords of the servants, Wu Qi also swallowed his saliva, but he was the leader of the scout team, the sharp knife unit of the city defense army, how could he be afraid of these rotten fish and shrimps in front of him.
"kill."
The leader rushed over and slashed at Wu Qi with the steel knife in his hand. However, the scout team blocked him and swung the knife away, and then cut off half of his arm with a single blow.
"Why are you watching? We drink wine and eat meat every day. Master treats us very well. We all come here."
That man was also fierce. Although half of his arm was cut off, there was no fear on his face.
"That is, the master treats us well and kills them."
Each of the servants had fierce expressions on their faces and came directly to kill the scouts.
"Dahua, please find a way to go out and report to the Lord, and the remaining people will protect the body."
Wu Qi was right, but they couldn't leave here because the drunkard's body had been found. As long as this matter was spread among the people of Chengdu, the Qiao family would collapse directly even though it had been operating in Chengdu for a hundred years.
A bloody killing began immediately. One party wanted to kill the Qiao family in order to protect the corpse, while the other party wanted to destroy the corpse, cover up the Qiao family's crimes, and preserve their current prosperity and wealth.
Both sides are fighting desperately, regardless of their own safety. If the fifty scouts make up their mind to break out, these servants will naturally not be able to stop them. However, their current task is to wait for help and save these corpses, so they can only be beaten passively for a while.
It's really a bit hurt.
"Sir, you heard that a fight has already begun inside. Let's rush in."
The team leader who was surrounding the mansion outside heard the shouts of killing inside and came directly to the captain.
"No, at least not now."
The captain shook his head. He also wanted to rush in, but now was not the time. He did not dare to rush into the master's mansion without getting the news.
"Why, they only have a team of fifty people. If we don't go in to support them, they will probably all be killed in the end."
After hearing what the captain said, the team leader was immediately confused. He didn't understand why he couldn't rush in.
"What the hell do you think I don't want to fight in?
But what kind of place is this, Qiao Mansion, Zhu Bo Mansion, can we just break in?
It would be fine if we have solid evidence to go in. If they don't find it, we go in. Even if the adults have some methods, we will have to be criticized this time. Not only will we not be able to take down the Qiao family, but we may also be beaten up. You know
?
ah."
The captain was also angry for a while. He could ignore the team's leadership, but he couldn't. If Cheng Yu's arrangement was broken, they might lose everything this time.
"So what do we do now?"
The team leader looked at the captain, his eyes filled with helplessness.
"Order the soldiers to be prepared. Once there is confirmed information, they must rush in as quickly as possible."
All the captain can do now is to wait for a piece of news that will allow him to enter.
"promise."
The soldiers outside Qiao Mansion all clenched the steel knives in their hands, waiting for a signal to rush in directly.
As the fighting in the mansion became more and more fierce, Dahua finally took advantage of the situation and withdrew from the fighting group, then sprinted towards the courtyard wall.
"Someone ran away."
There were also some sharp-eyed servants of the Qiao family who were fighting. When they saw Dahua escaping, they immediately shouted.
"Split out a few people and chase them, don't let anyone go."
