Zhao Hao and his entourage returned to Zhao's Mansion in Chunsong Hutong.

Although the east courtyard has been vacated, they still consciously continue to live in the west courtyard, without any intention of occupying the magpie's nest.

In the past two days, I helped Zhao Jin to set off with his work, and everyone was tired, and it was not early when they came back, so they all washed and slept.

Only Zhao Shixi couldn't sleep.

In the sound of thunder and snoring, he sat on the Chase bunk with his legs crossed, looking at the now empty East Courtyard, only to feel lonely and cold for a while.

He wanted to use a poem to express his state of mind at this time, but he had no choice but to use the book to hate less, and after holding it for a long time, he only thought of 'the bright moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground.' Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown'.

Then he was hungry......

This guy has been in trouble for the past two days, and he hasn't eaten much since last night.

So he put on his jacket, put on his sandals, and crept out.

Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is covered by dark clouds, where is there any moonlight on the ground?

Only then did Zhao Shixi know that he had even used the wrong silent night thoughts......

At this moment, in the shadow behind him, a light and crisp bird call suddenly sounded.

He hurriedly took out a 'mud scream' from his sleeve without thinking, and blew it too.

This is what the soldiers of the Qi family use to communicate with each other at night.

Because the Japanese like to pretend to be an official and soldier to touch the camp at night, Qi Jiguang came up with such a solution.

He equipped all his soldiers with such cheap children's toys. It was stipulated that they must carry it with them when they patrol the camp at night, and distinguish between friend and foe according to the agreed signals.

Gao Wu completely followed the requirements of the regular Qi family army for the men in Caijiaxiang, so he naturally matched them with them.

Zhao Shixi felt that it was ridiculous to be like facing a great enemy. But after being whipped once, he had to obediently act in accordance with military regulations.

~~

Hearing the signal of his own people, a man from Caijiaxiang flashed out of the shadows and asked him in a low voice. "What are you doing here?"

"Pee."

"Get out of the way and go to the hut."

Zhao Shixi pursed his lips and walked towards the back yard with his neck bent.

The west courtyard is a three-entry courtyard, the front is the sedan hall, the largest second is the main courtyard where the master lives, and the third is the back cover room where the next person lives.

There are five big north houses in the main courtyard, as well as two east and west wings, and Zhao Hao and them can't live in one room. The guards also lived in the main courtyard, which made it easier to protect the childe's family.

But Gao Wu was still very conscious, and let his subordinates use the house, thatched house and warehouse in the back yard, so as not to affect the quality of life of the son's family.

At this time, there was silence in the back yard, and the people below were already asleep......

Zhao Shixi didn't come to relieve him at all.

He went straight into the kitchen, opened the cabinet in the dark, and accurately found a Nanjing saltwater duck, but there was no movement at all, and the skillful movements were distressing.

Then Zhao Shixi leaned against the hearth that was still warm, tearing the duck leg to eat, tears flowing.

He felt very pitiful, lonely, and wanted to go back to his happy hometown......

When he was feeling self-pity and self-harm, Zhao Shixi suddenly choked.

His eyes widened as he watched the door to the storeroom across from the room open......

There's nothing to eat there, so who's going to go in in the middle of the night?

Zhao Shixi didn't want to be nosy, because he was also committing crimes himself.

But Gao Wu used the military regulations engraved in his brain with a leather whip, but he controlled his hand to throw away the duck leg, feel the 'mud scream' from his sleeve pocket, and then put it in his mouth, three long and two short blows.

According to the regulations, this means a thief.

The bird's call was so clear that it soon alarmed the men who were patrolling the night ahead.

He hurriedly blew the mud and screamed vigorously for three long and two short, and at the same time grasped the iron rod and followed the sound, and walked quickly to the back yard.

In the warehouse of the back yard, a figure was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and he also heard the sound of birds outside.

How can a bird chirp in the middle of the night?

Frightened, he hurriedly came out to check, and happened to meet the man who was patrolling the night.

"Who?!" The night watchman burst into applause.

The man turned around and ran away, and the night watchman immediately shouted for the thief and gave chase.

The thief must be a habitual thief, very agile, and has already seen the retreat route.

A few people dodged the iron rod of the man in Caijia Lane, and then he ran wildly towards the west courtyard wall!

Although the wall was two feet high, there was a rope hanging down from it, and it was his companion who was answering his retreat.

His companion crouched on the high wall, watching the alarmed people in the house rush out, and beckoned to him anxiously.

The thief sprinted with all his might, then grabbed the rope and climbed up the wall with all his might.

The man from Caijia Lane caught up and jumped hard, trying to grab his leg, but his fingers only touched the sole of the thief's shoe......

Seeing that the thief was about to escape, he heard the sound of a bowstring on the ground.

Immediately after that, the man in Caijiaxiang watched the thief be hit hard, his body was crooked, and he fell straight down from the wall.

The thief accomplice at the head of the wall looked up sharply when he heard the sound, and saw a young man in the distance, holding a crossbow flat, and had already reloaded the bowstring.

With a whoosh, another arrow struck, grazing the scalp of the thief on the wall.

The man was so frightened that he didn't care about his accomplice who was shot on the ground, and his head shrunk and disappeared.

~~

When Zhao Hao heard the sound and came over, he saw the men in Caijia Lane surrounding Zhao Shizhen, praising without words.

Zhao Shizhen held a high-backed crossbow and smiled shyly.

"Did you shoot it?" Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shizhen, and then looked at the unique crossbow, and his scalp was numb.

He didn't know that this harmless little nephew actually hid a crossbow.

But now is not the time to worry about this, Zhao Hao turned to the thief again, and asked in a deep voice:

"Are you dead?"

"No, I fainted after cumming in the gut." The man from Caijia Lane carried the man over.

Zhao Hao looked at it, but he was not impressed, so he ordered: "Wake him up." ”

It was too cold outside, so he went back to the house to wait for news.

~~

In the cold winter, a basin of ice water went down, and the thief got up from the ground with a snort, but the arrow wound on his cheek was involved, and he screamed even more miserably.

The arrow wound brought great convenience to the interrogation, and as soon as the man in Caijiaxiang shook the arrow shaft, the thief was so painful that he wanted to die.

"Say, what are you doing here?" A man with sharp teeth named Cai Ming asked instead of Gao Wu.

"We're here to steal, and you're going to have a lot of money......," replied the thief.

"Fuck your stinking fart!" Cai Ming took a mouthful of thick phlegm and shook the shaft of the arrow.

"This is the Sanpin master's family, and you are here to steal it? Don't you want to live? Even if you don't want to live, what are you looking for in the backyard warehouse, can there be anything valuable?! ”

"How do you know if you don't look for it?" The thief said, "I didn't go to the front again." ”

"I think you're being dishonest!" Cai Ming twisted the shaft of the arrow fiercely, and the pain made the thief faint directly.

The man in Caijia Lane woke up with cold water and continued the trial, but the thief was actually a hard bone, and he was so painful that he died, but he just didn't move......
