The quiet night wind is rare and not annoying. The wind probably has its own emotions. The strong wind is a mournful wail, and the gentle breeze is a whisper.
Lin Ye squatted on the roof of a house in the government office and looked down. From time to time, police officers on night watch would pass by, but these people basically posed no threat to Lin Ye.
It is true that he has not yet returned to his peak condition, but now is indeed a rare opportunity, a rare opportunity.
Everyone knew that he was seriously injured and it was the princess who rescued him, so how could he appear in the government office wearing night clothes?
The reason why Lin Ye didn't go down immediately was because the lights in the government office were brightly lit and it seemed that no one was asleep. He just saw the figure of Jin Shengchang from the government office.
It was already late at night, and there were still so many people in the government office. Something must have happened. Lin Ye didn't know yet. Just yesterday, Wangxiangtai, one of the largest Jianghu forces in Yunzhou City, was attacked by a group of masked bandits.
A warehouse in Wangxiangtai in the west of the city was stormed, and a large amount of supplies were robbed, including many precious materials, including heavy iron.
In Yunzhou City, there are many places that can provide materials for practitioners, but there are only three places that can provide precious materials such as heavy iron.
There is one in Mr. Yuan's shop in the ghost market, and as long as you pay a high price, you can do business with him regardless of your identity.
Wangxiangtai is what Zhuang Junji said to Lin Ye, one of the other two, even if it has good things, it will not be sold to ordinary practitioners.
In fact, this is a very ironic thing. Wangxiangtai started from the bottom, and relied on a group of hardworking people who came to Yunzhou from other places to carve a way out here.
Now, those who secretly control Wangxiangtai have nothing to do with the original group of people.
Naturally, the common people would not understand what was going on. They just felt that Wangxiangtai's business was getting bigger and bigger and more and more remarkable.
But in fact, the real Wangxiang Terrace no longer exists, only a shell remains.
When Wangxiangtai was just emerging in Yunzhou City, fellow villagers suddenly appeared to find them.
These fellow villagers were wealthy and provided gold and silver support to Wangxiangtai, and also sent experts to protect Wangxiangtai.
At first, those who founded Wangxiangtai were very happy. As a large amount of gold and silver money came in, and as a large number of practitioners entered, the strength of Wangxiangtai certainly became stronger and stronger.
But just a few years later, these pioneers gradually disappeared.
Their fellow villagers, who had a lot of money in their hands, slowly gained the right to speak.
Ten years later, Wangxiangtai actually had nothing to do with the original group of people.
Those people were interested in the reputation of Wangxiang Terrace, and under the banner of unity, they gathered foreigners from all over Yunzhou.
With this reputation, foreigners who come to Yunzhou City to do business in the future will of course first come to Wangxiangtai to seek cooperation.
Because in Wangxiangtai, no matter where you are from, you can find your fellow villagers, so soon Wangxiangtai began to monopolize a variety of businesses.
The common people say that Wangxiang Terrace is a symbol of the rise of the Hanku brothers, but how do they know that it is just a label specially left by the players, and now only such a label is left on Wangxiang Terrace.
Such a powerful Wangxiangtai was directly selected to buy a large warehouse, and it was also their most important warehouse.
The valuable materials were almost wiped out. The gangsters killed many people with clear goals. They even directly found the secret warehouse and broke in.
Fuzhi Jin Shengchang hadn't slept yet because there was no way he could sleep.
The mobilization of contracted military camps to suppress the bandits not only failed, but also resulted in the loss of troops and generals. The ruthless bandits disappeared all of a sudden, as if they were conjured up by some magician.
Immediately after the incident at Wangxiangtai, those with deep pockets began to put pressure on him. The interest relationships behind Wangxiangtai were so complicated that even his government had to bow its head.
At this time, Lin Ye only thought that the lights in the government office were brightly lit because of the failure in suppressing the bandits.
After squatting on the roof ridge for a long time, he could not find a particularly suitable opportunity to go down.
Such an important thing as the roster must be in Jin Shengchang's study, and there must be a file in the government office's cabinet, but Lin Ye didn't know where the cabinet was.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Ye felt that the only way to go was to arrest someone to ask about this.
Therefore, Lin Ye began to pay attention to the patrolling government officials, looking for opportunities to take action.
After waiting for about half an hour, he saw a patrolling government official who couldn't hold it in any longer, left the team and ran towards the corner.
Lin Ye moved and quickly moved from the ridge of the roof to the top of the wall. He squatted there, waiting for the elder brother from the government office to finish urinating.
Lin Ye thought that if he jumped down and knocked out the elder brother of the government officer and took him away, he would probably pee all over his pants, which would be very uncivilized.
But while he was waiting, he suddenly heard a slight noise on the roof.
The house is higher than the courtyard wall, and Lin Ye's position is exactly where the house connects with the wall. He can hide his figure by squatting there.
Therefore, the people who had just climbed onto the roof did not realize that Lin Ye was here.
Lin Ye squatted and moved under the eaves, listening attentively.
There seemed to be a lot of people on the roof, which could be judged from the slight but continuous sound on the tiles.
Lin Ye reached out and grabbed the rafters under the eaves, hanging flat against the eaves.
As soon as he hid inside, the man on the roof looked down. Lin Ye was in the shadow and blocked by the eaves. The man couldn't see him. Lin Ye saw the man's chin.
The next moment, the man hit something out, and the elder brother, who was still peeing obliviously, let out a groan and fell down.
Fall on the spot where he just peed.
Lin Ye sighed in his heart. He was afraid of this. These people in the future were really careless.
Several black figures jumped from the roof, and one of them reached out to lift the government servant up.
Lin Ye saw them take out a small bottle or something like that, uncork it, and shake it in front of the yamen servant's nose, and the yamen servant suddenly woke up.
Then, Lin Ye saw the man in black shaking his hand and rubbing his hand on the yamen servant's clothes. He knew it would be like this.
The key is that after the man in black finished rubbing his hand, he was still worried. He raised his hand and smelled it in front of his nose, then shook his hand and rubbed it on the yamen servant again.
Lin Ye could only sigh in his heart, his worries were all right.
The yamen officer's mouth was covered, and even if he hadn't been covered, he probably wouldn't have dared to scream.
One of the men in black asked: "Where is Jin Sheng? Answer in a low voice. If you dare to speak loudly, I will kill you now."
The frightened government servant quickly stretched out his hand and pointed to the brightest light over there.
"Where is Jin Shengwang's study?"
The man in black asked again.
The yamen officer still pointed his hand to the brightest spot of the light. Not only did he not dare to speak loudly, he did not even dare to say anything.
"trouble."
The man in black whispered.
Lin Ye also underestimated in his heart: Trouble.
He was looking for the list of criminals in the City Lord's Mansion. These men in black were also looking for Jin Shengchang's study, but they didn't know what they had planned.
The men in black murmured a few times, but their voices were so soft that Lin Ye couldn't hear clearly what was said.
After a while, a man in black pushed the yamen officer: "Run, shout while running."
The yamen servant was stunned: "You heroes, I don't want to die. I've done whatever you asked me to do. Don't kill me."
The man in black said: "We have killed a lot of people, but we don't just kill people casually. If I tell you to run and call me, just do it, otherwise I will really kill you."
He kicked the yamen servant on the waist and said, "Hurry up and run."
The yamen servant didn't dare to resist, so he had no choice but to run out. After running a few steps, he started shouting loudly, and it didn't take long for the people in the yamen to be alerted.
Many people came running from all directions. Two of the men in black stayed behind. The others ran after the government servant for a while. When they saw more people surrounding them, they turned around and ran away again.
The people from the government office immediately chased after him. The men in black deliberately controlled their speed and led the pursuers to the front yard.
Lin Ye hung there and watched this scene, feeling that these men in black had a tacit understanding and trusted each other very much.
The others chased towards the front yard, and the two men in black immediately went to Jin Sheng's study. Lin Ye wandered under the eaves and then went up to the roof, staring in the direction of the two men in black.
Not long after, the man in black climbed through the back window of Jin Sheng's study, while another man stood guard outside the window for him.
Jin Shengchang was probably scared, so he was protected by someone and hid in the front lobby. All the experts in the government office were around him.
Lin Ye squatted on the roof and waited, planning to wait for the two people to come out before going in and looking around. But at this moment, a black shadow came from a distance and arrived at Lin Ye's side in a daze.
The speed was so terrifying that there was no sound under his feet. This kind of control of power made Lin Ye understand that he was not as good as this person.
Because the man came so fast, even Lin Ye couldn't react. By the time he noticed the man in black approaching, it was already too late to avoid him.
The man in black landed not far from Lin Ye. Lin Ye was ready to fight if he could win, and to retreat if he couldn't.
"What are you doing here, where are the others?"
The man in black asked Lin Ye.
Lin Ye suddenly woke up. He was squatting on the roof. The man in black had obviously seen him before, but he thought Lin Ye was one of his own.
So Lin Ye pointed down and motioned for them to search in the study.
The man in black nodded immediately and jumped down.
The men in black below heard the conversation, but they didn't expect any of them to be outsiders.
As soon as the man in black behind him landed on the ground, the man in black watching him looked carefully and called him "big brother".
"Have you found it?"
Lin Ye heard the man ask, and someone below answered no. After a moment, the man in black said: "Our target is not here. It doesn't matter if we can't find it. We can just burn it."
Lin Ye was thinking at this time, should he go or not?
Not long after, fire appeared below. Unexpectedly, these people moved very quickly and did not hesitate at all.
It only took a moment for the study to be lit up, and the firelight would soon make this place a place where everyone's attention would gather.
"Walk."
The man in black waved to Lin Ye, and Lin Ye left as soon as he said so, and he really followed him. There are really not many sick people like him in the world.
The two younger brothers beside the eldest brother did not know Lin Ye's identity. They thought they were the people brought by the eldest brother, and actually nodded towards Lin Ye.
The eldest brother ordered: "They will come back from the front yard to put out the fire soon. The three of you spread out, order the government office, take advantage of the chaos, evacuate, and meet at the prison as soon as possible."
After he finished speaking, a little below his feet, people had already rushed out of the courtyard wall.
Lin Ye and the other two men in black, look at me and I look at you.
Then Lin Ye didn't wait for the two people to speak, stretched out his hand and made casual gestures, indicating that you go to the left, you go to the right, and I go to the back.
The two men actually nodded and went to set the fire separately.
At this time, a question appeared in Lin Ye's mind inexplicably... If everyone was arrested at this time, would he be considered the principal culprit or an accessory?
