Three black figures climbed over the wall and headed west along the alley. After walking for less than a mile, they arrived in front of another tall mansion.
This is the residence of Mou Bin, the former commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Ever since Mou Bin took up the post of commander of the Jinyi Guards' personal army, the mansion in Chongbeifang in the outer city has been bustling with people almost every day. Officials come and go during the day, and the lights are brightly lit at night, and the commotion often lasts until three hours.
It will quiet down after the update.
But now, in the dark night, the whole house is dark, like a ghost house. In just five or six days, the bustle and bustle of the past have disappeared, and even the stone lion squatting at the door seems to have lost its former majesty.
, they looked like two mangy dogs guarding the door.
Three figures stood in the shadows in front of Mou Bin's mansion. They were Zhang Yanling and Chen Shiyin.
"This house is so big. Can you find out which room Mou Bin lives in? There should be many nursing servants in Mou Bin's home. They can't make too much noise." Zhang Yanling said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we have already investigated the situation. Mou Bin has dismissed a group of servants in the past two days. There are not many people in the house anymore. The people in the back house have several yards. Last night and tonight, he was in the back house.
His concubine is staying in the east courtyard. We can also see their house clearly." Zhang Yin said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "When the tree falls, the monkeys will scatter. Mou Bin has fallen, and everyone around him has also fled. He can't mobilize the previous guards. This guy will die tonight."
Chen Shiyi said softly: "Master Hou, I can't wait to chop off this thief's head."
Zhang Yanling said: "Brother Chen, don't be too impatient at the last moment. Mou Bin is quite capable, and he has many enemies. He may even sleep with his eyes open. Be calm and be careful."
Chen Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's what the Marquis said."
Zhang Yanling nodded and watched Chen Shiyi close his eyes and take a few deep breaths. After his emotions stabilized, he softly said: "Let's go."
The three of them walked out of the shadows and disappeared into the shadows under the wall of the tall house. They followed the tall wall to the direction of the back house and stopped at the high wall of the back house.
Zhang Yin took off the hook rope from his shoulder and threw it high. With a click, the hook rope caught the brick joint at the top of the high wall. Zhang Yin pulled the hook rope and looked at Zhang Yanling after making sure it was stable.
Zhang Yanling made a gesture. Zhang Yin pulled the rope and stepped on the wall with both hands and feet, and in a moment he was on the top of the wall.
Zhang Yanling cheered in her heart, and when Zhang Yin gave a signal from the wall that everything was normal, she grabbed the rope and climbed up. Although Zhang Yanling did not climb as fast as Zhang Yin, Zhang Yanling climbed very steadily. After all, she once loved outdoor sports and rock climbing ropes.
He is very familiar with climbing ropes and climbing up walls with ease.
Chen Shiyi then climbed up, and the three of them leaned on the wall and looked into the wall quietly.
But under the dark night, the dark houses in the yard were lined up in rows and were quite large. The dark houses were silent and there were no lights, so it was difficult to tell their direction for a while.
The three of them were trying their best to identify the location. Chen Shiyi suddenly pointed to the north and whispered: "Master Hou, there is a light in that yard."
Zhang Yanling and Zhang Yin squinted, and sure enough, in a house not far away, there seemed to be a dim light in the long window, flickering brightly and dimly.
"I wonder if this is where Mou Bin lives." Zhang Yin whispered.
"Let's talk after we get there. There will be people there if there are lights. Even if it's not Mou Bin, you can still ask where he lives." Zhang Yanling said in a low voice.
Chen Shi nodded, retracted the hook, changed the direction to hook the wall, and lowered the rope into the wall. The three of them slipped down the rope, crossed several houses, and headed straight for the light along a dark corridor.
at.
At the same time, voices in the room were also faintly heard. Zhang Yanling and others listened carefully, and there seemed to be the sound of a woman crying, mixed with the vague curses of a man.
"It's Mou Bin! It's his voice!" Chen Shiyi suddenly tensed up and his hand touched the weapon at his waist.
Zhang Yanling reached out to hold Chen Shiyi's hand and whispered: "Don't get excited, don't make any noise, go in and block him."
Chen Shiyi closed his eyes and gasped a few times, feeling slightly relaxed. Zhang Yanling gestured to Zhang Yin. Zhang Yin understood and stepped forward to gently push the courtyard door. The courtyard door was tied from the inside and could not be pushed open. Zhang Yin looked at it.
Looking left and right, he jumped up and quietly climbed over the low wall next to the courtyard gate.
Zhang Yin opened the courtyard door from the inside, and the three of them walked closer to the long window corridor with flickering lights step by step. The cries and curses in the room became clearer.
"Howl, what the hell are you howling? Howling in mourning? You're howling in mourning every day before I'm dead. Don't you think I'm not annoyed enough? You won't let me be clean even if I want to?" Mou Bin cursed.
"How to live? Live how you want to live. When I married you, wasn't I just a member of a thousand households? Now I am still a member of a thousand households, why? You don't dislike me?" Mou Bin scolded.
"That was then, and now is now. Do you know how the slave family treated me today when I met the third lady of Qian Mansion? She usually smiles at me and gives me this and that. Today she treats me in every possible way.
She was sarcastic and wanted to take back the bracelets and jewelry she gave me. Wuwuwu, she also said that now that the master is in bad luck, he will pretend that he does not know me from now on, so as not to implicate her husband, Mr. Qian. She also said that I have to find a way to find out
Otherwise, I will be implicated in the future... Master, do you think I can bear this anger?" the woman cried.
Mou Bin gritted his teeth and cursed: "Qian Mucheng, this son of a bitch, is like a dog in front of me, trying to make friends. Now, he has turned his back and refuses to recognize anyone. If you don't make friends, you won't make friends. What's the point? I may not have made a comeback.
Opportunity."
The woman said: "Master, what's the use of scolding you now? Honestly, will the emperor punish you? Will Liu Jin and Zhang Yanling continue to attack you? They are both famous people now, and you have offended them.
Do they still have a chance to make a comeback? I’m afraid it’s not a delusion. Just tell me, will it get worse in the future?”
Mou Bin said angrily: "Xiao Liu, what do you mean? What do you mean by this? Do you really have other plans? Do you even turn your back on me?"
The woman stopped crying and shouted: "Master, this is for your own good. Now you have nothing. Now that you have lost your official position, you will be fined a large sum of money. In the past, others gave you some money, but you were very careless and careless."
If you don't have a penny left, you are just an empty shell. Who will give you money now? You will be demoted and live idle for three years, and you will be fined for three years. If we don't talk about anything else, what are you going to do to support this big family? Just like you,
You still have seven or eight wives and concubines, can you afford to keep them? It’s not like the slave family dislikes you. The slave family will give you a son and leave an heir for your Mou family. Otherwise, you can drive away all those women and make me your wife.
It’s not like I can’t share the joys and sorrows with you now that I’m married to you. I have no reputation and no status, but I still have to suffer with you. How can you feel okay with that?”
Mou Bin said angrily: "Xiao Liu, I, Mou Bin, treat you well. I treat you the best in the back house. I haven't treated you badly for so many years. I don't give you less money every year. You have enough food and clothing on weekdays. Even the Duke's wife may not be able to compare with her. Now that I'm in trouble, you have other ideas?"
The woman shouted: "Master, please don't say that. I have followed you since I was thirteen years old. I have served you well over the years and gave you a son. Don't you deserve some benefits? Are you just coveting the appearance of the slave family?" Mei? Isn’t it hard work for the slave family to serve you for so many years? You are not kind to me, and I am not kind to you. Besides, after that incident, the slave family has seen through you. My brother Shen Liang is loyal to you. I will follow you. He was like a dog from the back. As a result, he was killed, and you didn't even say a word, and you didn't even mention avenging him. That's my brother. If you really treat me, how come you can't even protect my brother? , you were killed and you didn’t mention revenge? You only thought about yourself and us, we will die when we die, and you don’t care. Now that you are unlucky, you just talk about friendship and so on. You Are you feeling guilty or not?"
Mou Bin said angrily: "You stinky bitch, are you trying to settle old scores with me? Your brother was stupid and offended someone he shouldn't have offended. He was slaughtered. How can you blame me? I have tried my best to promote and reuse him. But he himself is useless, what can I do? You said I won’t avenge your brother? What is my situation today? Why did I participate in the impeachment of Liu Jin, Zhang Yanling and those idiots? It was Zhang Yanling who killed your brother, wasn’t I? To avenge your brother? You are a stinking bitch with a bad heart and a cruel heart. A bitch would be more grateful than you."
"Okay, in that case, Master, just divorce me. I am a stinking bitch, and I am a bitch, so as not to tarnish the reputation of your Mou family. I am out of sight and out of mind," the woman said coldly.
Mou Bin scolded angrily: "You stinky bitch, it's strange that you have kept a straight face these days, giving me a look. I have to come to accompany you every day to please you, but it turns out that you dislike me. See me When you are unlucky, you want to climb a higher branch. Is that right?"
The woman sneered and said: "Whatever you say. The slave family has had enough. Now you want power but no power, money but no money. It's a shame that you just asked me for your own money to support the family. Otherwise, the slave family will go out and sell batches." How about selling the money and coming back to support your big family? Let’s see if you are ashamed. I tell you, unless you divorce the slave family, the slave family may give you a few cuckolds that day.”
"What did you say? Say it again." Mou Bin's voice was so angry that he roared.
"What did the slave say?" the woman said coldly.
"Crash." Something seemed to overturn in the room, and then a woman's scream came: "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"You stinky bitch, you stinky bitch, I'm going to kill you today. How dare you humiliate me like this. How have I, Mou Bin, ever been humiliated like this?"
"Ah! Don't come here, you have no ability. You only bully the women in the family. You useless man, useless... uh uh..."
The woman was cursing and screaming. Suddenly, her harsh yelling stopped, followed by the sound of tables and chairs overturning in the room.
The three people squatting outside the window heard the whole thing clearly, frowning and looking at each other. Zhang Yanling made a gesture, Zhang Yin nodded, smeared his finger with smear and poked through the window paper to look inside. He saw Mou Bin was naked and holding a woman's waist with both hands. Her neck looked ferocious. The woman's feet were off the ground, she was making hiccup sounds, and she was kicking and waving her hands and feet wildly, causing the tents, tables, and chairs around her to rattle.
Zhang Yin turned around and gestured to Zhang Yanling quickly. Zhang Yanling stepped forward and looked inside, with a shocked look on his face.
"Go in!" Zhang Yanling shouted in a low voice.
Zhang Yin and Chen Shi stood up, opened the long window that had been opened, and jumped in.
