The dog inside whined but did not yell. After a moment, there was a soft falling sound from inside.
Easily climbing over the wall, Wang Junlin entered the Zhang family courtyard.
After landing on the ground, Wang Junlin instantly flashed into the shadows. He did not act rashly, but carefully looked at the scene in the courtyard. He was in the west courtyard of the Zhang family mansion, where some servants lived, and they had been working hard for a day. , has long since fallen asleep.
Wang Junlin purchased the things he would use tonight during the day. After leaving Maiji Town, he found a deserted place to disguise himself and returned to the town. He inquired about some information about the Zhang family and also visited the place.
According to the information he found, the Zhang family's mansion faces south and north, with east and west courtyards. The main courtyard where the Zhang family and his son live is between the east and west courtyards. The main gate of the main courtyard is guarded by a guard, and there are even shifts of patrols at night. There were no guard patrols in the two side courtyards, but a vicious dog instead, so he chose to sneak in from the west side courtyard.
In the darkness, Wang Junlin could barely see the situation in the courtyard by the light of the stars and the moon. He groped and sneaked all the way to the small door in the west courtyard leading to the main courtyard. When he heard breathing from behind the door, Wang Junlin stopped. After listening carefully for a moment, Wang Junlin couldn't help but smile coldly. There were two people guarding the courtyard door, but they fell asleep at this time.
There would be a sound when the courtyard door was opened. Wang Junlin still climbed over the wall and entered. He often did this kind of thing when he was a mercenary in later generations. He was familiar with the road and would not make any sound.
After climbing over the wall ten steps away from the courtyard gate, Wang Junlin saw two guards sleeping against the wall.
Sneaking in quietly, the light of the sword flashed, and with two soft chissing sounds, Wang Junlin directly cut the throats of the two men.
The main courtyard was very quiet. Wang Junlin glanced around and quickly discovered the main house where the owner lived.
Wang Junlin hunched over and quietly sneaked along the side room to the main room. Along the way, he met eight nurses who were sitting or leaning and dozing. He quietly touched them and covered their mouths and cut their throats. , and then gently placed them in the same place and continued to lean or sit. In the dark night, from a distance, it was impossible to tell that they were dead.
Wang Junlin went outside the main room, squatted under the window, and heard the sound of snoring inside. He used a short knife to poke through the crack in the door, gently moved the latch inside, and pushed the latch open little by little.
He did not open the door and go in immediately, but closed his eyes and listened to the movement inside. The snoring was very even, and the sleeping person was not awakened. He felt a little nervous. After all, this was his first action in this world. Success It's good, if he fails, he can run away, but the whole Chen family will definitely die because of him.
Fortunately, after all, this family is just a powerful one in the county. There are no good people in the government. The most important thing is that the vigilance is very low. Therefore, in Wang Junlin's previous deduction, if there is no big accident, he should be able to successfully complete today's project. Night action.
A quarter of an hour later, the door latch was finally opened. Wang Junlin breathed a sigh of relief, slightly lifted the door leaf, and gently pushed the door.
Because the door leaf is lifted, the sound of opening the door is very soft, but with the decoration technology of this era, it is impossible not to make a sound.
The squeaking sound of the door leaf was actually very small, but it was extremely harsh in the quiet night, which startled Wang Junlin. Fortunately, the people in the room were sleeping like pigs, and the snoring was still the same. Wang Junlin continued to push the room gently. He opened the door until it was just wide enough for one person, ducked in, and quietly reached the bedside in the inner room.
Seeing the scene on the bed, Wang Junlin immediately understood why the creaking sound of the door leaf just now did not wake up the people in the room - the people on the bed had obviously consumed a lot before going to bed and were sleeping deeply.
There were three people on the oversized bed. The people on both sides were girls who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and they were a pair of extremely beautiful twin sisters with their breasts exposed. In the middle was a middle-aged man in his forties.
Wang Junlin stepped onto the bed gently, quickly waved his hands, knocking the pair of girls unconscious, and then when the person in the middle was about to wake up, he covered his mouth like lightning.
The man in the middle woke up, but was suddenly suppressed by someone in the middle of the night. He was so frightened that he whined and kept twisting, but under the control of Wang Junlin's iron-like hands, he had no resistance at all. Wang Junlin looked at it carefully.
After this person, he whispered: "You are Zhang Hongmeng's father, Zhang Qingyu."
There was no need for the person to answer. Wang Junlin already knew the answer from his expression. He took out a dark pill, pinched open Zhang Qingyu's mouth, forced it into his mouth, and slapped his chest to make him swallow it.
Zhang Qingyu's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his fear had already turned into fear.
Wang Junlin then said: "The poison I just swallowed has no cure except for me. I let go of my hand now. If you dare to shout out, I will kill you immediately before the poison takes effect."
"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Junlin let go of his hand, but the short knife was still close to Zhang Qingyu's throat. As long as the other party made the slightest movement, he would cut his throat with the knife.
"This strong man, if you have anything to say, please don't kill me. Whatever you want, gold, silver, jewels, beauties, I will satisfy you..." People who are used to living a comfortable life are more afraid of death, and Zhang Qingyu is no exception.
At this time, his face was pale and he did not dare to move. In order not to cause Wang Junlin to misunderstand, he spoke in a very low voice.
Although Zhang Qingyu was still calm, he showed such fear of death that Wang Junlin was completely relieved. For him, it was not difficult to kill the Zhang family and his son and rescue Chen Xiaoliu, but because of the relationship between him and Zhang Hongmeng during the day
If there is a conflict, he will inevitably be designated as a suspect, and Han Ziliang will only protect him if he guarantees not to kill the Zhang family and his son.
Therefore, killing some guards can deter the Zhang family and his son, but if he kills the Zhang family and his son, he will become a wanted criminal, and the Chen family will not escape death. And according to his current plan, coupled with the guarantee given to him by Han Ziliang,
Not only can Chen Xiaoliu be rescued, but the Chen family can also escape.
Quickly going over the plan in his mind, Wang Junlin shouted: "Prepare two hundred taels of gold for me, and then hand over the people your son Zhang Hongmeng captured this afternoon, and I will promise to spare your life."
When Zhang Qingyu heard that he could survive, he quickly said: "Don't worry, brave man, I will arrange these things immediately. Why don't you give me the antidote first?"
Wang Junlin said: "Don't worry, the antidote can be detoxified as long as it is taken within three days. So within these three days, you must listen to me and not have other thoughts, otherwise you will definitely die."
Zhang Qingyu had no choice but to agree, but he already hated Wang Junlin in his heart, and secretly vowed that after he was out of Wang Junlin's control, he would definitely let the latter try his own methods and make his life worse than death.
…
…
With two hundred taels of gold in his arms, Wang Junlin took Chen Xiaoliu and left the Zhang family mansion smoothly.
"Take these one hundred taels of gold and rush back to Shetang Village as quickly as possible, leading the whole family to move out of Tianshui County overnight. The farther away the better." Wang Junlin handed half of the gold to Chen Xiaoliu.
, said with great solemnity.
Chen Xiaoliu knew the great relationship, so he nodded coldly, took the gold, said "take care", and ran away without being polite.
Wang Junlin smiled bitterly. He could feel that Chen Xiaoliu was resentful towards him. It was indeed him who had caused this incident. If he had listened to Chen Xiaoliu's hint and left with a handful of money, wouldn't he have been fine?
The Chen family lived a good life when they were young, but now they have to leave their hometown because of themselves, and they are also being hunted by the Zhang family.
Feeling guilty, Wang Junlin did not leave Maiji Town immediately. He wanted to keep an eye on the Zhang family and ensure that the Chen family and the young ones escaped Qingshui County safely before leaving.
He could not guarantee that Zhang Qingyu would be obedient in the past three days, because Zhang Qingyu was not poisoned at all. You must know that poison is actually more expensive than most elixirs, let alone the poison that comes with an antidote.
Although Wang Junlin sold the leopard skin for fifty coins, he had already spent all his money wearing a night outfit, a short sword and a long bow, so there was no money left to buy poison.
He could prepare poison by himself, but he didn't have time to go to the mountains to collect medicine. As for the piece of dried meat that killed the vicious dog, he bought it from a beggar in the town with a pennies of money. It didn't poison the dog to death, it just poisoned it.
Passed out, beggars often eat dog meat in such despicable ways, this is what Chen Xiaoliu casually told Wang Junlin when he met a beggar when he first entered the town during the day.
…
…
"You idiot, why didn't you tell me what happened this afternoon?"
Wang Junlin climbed on the roof of the living room in the inner courtyard of Zhang's house, his ears pricked up and motionless. First he heard Zhang Qingyu's roar, then a scream, and then a crisp cracking sound came into his ears.
At this time, Wang Junlin saw someone hurriedly entering the living room from the corner of his eye.
"To inform the head of the family, the people who were sent out before have died outside the town. When Beizhi arrived at Shetang Village in person, the Chen family had already moved away overnight, and no one else in the village knew where the Chen family was. Beizhi originally wanted to send ten horses
Quickly riding around to investigate, unexpectedly, one of the eleven war horses raised in the mansion was stolen, and the rest had been killed by the thief. In addition, the humble post had already found out that the treacherous name was Wang Junlin. In addition to Chen, who came to Shetang Village the evening before yesterday,
Outside of my family, I have no relatives or friends.”
The room was quiet for a moment, and Wang Junlin heard Zhang Qingyu say: "Take my greeting card and go out from the side door to find the county magistrate and ask him to issue an announcement that the Wang Junlin dog thief and the Chen family will be designated as murderers and sent out
The government officials hunted him down."
Someone respectfully said so. In the darkness, Wang Junlin saw a man leaving the living room and leaving Zhang's house overnight.
"Send twenty servants out. No matter how much money is spent or what method is used, all the famous doctors in Tianshui County can be invited to me."
After hearing Zhang Qingyu's words, Wang Junlin realized that it was not that the poison did not frighten Zhang Qingyu, but that the latter simply did not believe that he would detoxify him, so he wanted to capture the Chen family in exchange for the antidote.
Wang Junlin saw a group of people rushing out of the living room, holding lanterns and leaving Zhang Mansion in a hurry.
Not long after, Wang Junlin heard Zhang Qingyu suddenly shout again: "How can such a person be easy to mess with if he can hunt an adult leopard alone?"
