Volume 4 The Boat Goes Against the Tide Chapter 155 Who is in the middle (I)
At the beginning of the year, the autumn rain continued, there were no stars and no moon, and the sky was as dark as thick ink.
Unlike the bustle and brilliant lights of Bianjing East City, the area around Xicheng seems a little quiet and dim. Although there are many shops and restaurants here, they are all closed by this time, and only a few candlelit lanterns are still swaying gently in front of the shops, exuding a faint light.
Especially here in Anningfang, because in addition to some outdoor residences, other buildings are mostly commercial warehouses, and at night it seems more and more silent, and there is no one to see on the whole street. It wasn't until the group of people and horses quickly passed through the gate that the silence of the night was slightly broken. However, after entering the workshop, these people also quickly dismounted and slowed down, and under the leadership of a messenger who had been waiting there, they went straight to an alley in the southeast corner of the workshop.
In front of the alley, there were a few Kaifeng Mansion officials, and when they saw someone coming, they all stepped forward to salute, and the leader was Lu Fang: "Dutou, just half an hour ago, a few more people entered the inside, obviously the people of the pink swallow." ”
Sun Tu nodded, squinted his eyes and looked around, and said, "It seems that this place is not far from the tributaries of the Bianhe River, there should be a culvert that leads directly to the ground nearby, right?" ”
"Exactly." Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of his words: "Do you need to send people to guard the entrances of those ditches to prevent those thieves from escaping into them at night?" ”
"This doesn't have to be, as long as our plan can be realized, they won't have the slightest chance to get out of the house." Sun Tu waved his hand, and then solemnly ordered: "Let the brothers get ready, guard the front and back of the house, and don't let anyone get out." ”
"Yes." Everyone replied in a low voice, and immediately a dozen or so people turned around and went out from the other end of the alley, and went around to the back door of the target house, just in case anyone really escaped from there.
During this period, Lu Fang stepped forward to report: "Dutou, what about the boss Wen is still here, do you let him leave before starting to suppress the thief, so as not to hurt him by mistake?" ”
"Don't worry, the official still has something to ask him." Sun Tu smiled lightly, and then his gaze swept over the bodies of the few people around Lu Fang: "It's that these brothers are really hard. ”
"Look at what the head said, these are all errands that a lowly rank should do." Lu Fang hurriedly said modestly: "Dutou, now that everything is almost arranged, should we take people first and then talk about credit?" ”
"What? Are you in a hurry to get in? Sun Tu looked at the other party and suddenly asked such a question, which made Lu Fang suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, and reluctantly smiled: "What Du Tou said, we have arranged everything properly, and the thief's lair is in front of us, so it is naturally better to take people as soon as possible." ”
"But why do I always feel a little uneasy?" Sun Tu suddenly stared at his face: "Lu Fang, since you were transferred to me by Xue Tong, you have not been very convinced, and you can push on ordinary errands, why are you so active in giving me advice this time, and even working hard to bring people here to prepare early?" ”
Lu Fang's face immediately stiffened, and then he said: "I know my mistakes in my humble position, and I was indeed a little dissatisfied with it before. But since Dutou has been doing errands in a row, especially after rescuing Miss Yu, I have been convinced, and this pink swallow has been a disaster for many years, and I want to eliminate harm for the people! ”
"Really?" Sun Tu said noncommittally, and then shouted in a low voice: "Bring someone to me!" ”
Just when Lu Fang was puzzled, several errand servants had already pushed the boss of Nawen in front of Sun Tu, and with a little more force, they had already pressed the obviously frightened spice shop owner to the ground, making him say to him again and again: "Sun Dutou, I don't know what mistake the little one made, you want to do this to me?" ”
"What's at fault? Naturally, they colluded with thieves to become enemies of the government. Sun Tu said lightly: "Do you really think that this official will be deceived by your tricks?" ”
Hearing this, Boss Wen's face changed even more, but he still forced himself to calmly shout: "Dutou's words are really incomprehensible to the little ones, the little ones are bent on helping you find this place, why did you collude with the bandits?" ”
"The problem naturally lies in your account books, do you think that having those account books will make the official believe what you say, and confirm that the nest of those pink swallows is here?" Sun Tu sneered: "Although I am not a scholar, I can still tell whether the things recorded in that account book were written in months or in a short period of time.
"You have a few things that should have been written down in the account book the next day, but judging from the ink, they are exactly the same as the last few words of the previous day, and they are all after the ink has been exhausted. Such an obvious flaw is in the account book, and you still want to use it to trick me, do you think this official will believe your nonsense? ”
As soon as these words came out, Wen Boss's face turned pale, and his body trembled suddenly: "Sun Dutou spared his life, and the little one was forced to do this...... "After all, he is just an ordinary businessman, and his psychological quality is not up to par.
And as soon as his words came out, Lu Fang's heart also sank suddenly! Without any hesitation, he had already pulled out the saber at his waist with a swoop, and slashed towards Sun Tu's front door with a snort, and at the same time, his body was even shorter, so he wanted to snatch the road and sweep away from the side. He knew very well that Sun Tu's martial arts were far above him, so this sword only wanted to make him take a few steps back and find a chance for his escape.
But even this wish failed to come true after all, Sun Tu saw that the smile on his face was not less, and when his hand trembled, the throwing stick that had been pinched in his hand had popped out, just holding this fierce knife, and at the same time, his left foot also kicked out, straight to Lu Fang's right knee.
The knife was framed, which had already shocked Lu Da, and his body immediately retreated backwards, and finally flashed Sun Tu's kick. But this time he completely fell into passivity, the other party had already pounced on him like a shadow, and the throwing stick in his hand had slashed along the blade of the knife, and quickly pulled on the wrist of his right hand, so that his wrist bones were almost shattered, and he immediately let out a miserable scream.
And it was only at this time that the others woke up like a dream, rushed up, and cooperated with Sun Tu to attack Lu Fang and several cronies behind him. Those people reacted more slowly, and they were a little overwhelmed, and they were immediately overwhelmed by their comrades, unable to move.
And Lu Fang only took two steps back, and he was already entangled by Sun Tu again, just flashed the whistling stick, and the lower abdomen had been kicked with a kick, and the person staggered backwards. This naturally gave others a chance, and Shen Liang took the lead, and the knife in his hand was directly on his neck in a flash, so that he didn't dare to make the next move.
This sudden attack ended very quickly, and in just a few breaths, Lu Fang and the others had been taken down, and while they were pressed to the ground, their hands and feet had also been tied up by ropes - these things were originally prepared for the people of the Pink Swallow, but now they were used on the Kaifeng Mansion themselves.
Sun Tu put away his stick at this time, looked at Lu Fang and said, "I didn't expect you to be really the eyeliner of the pink swallow in my Kaifeng Mansion, no wonder they have been able to escape before us many times." ”
From the very beginning, Sun Tu had a feeling that the pink swallows could get out repeatedly because someone had ventilated for them. And this speculation was confirmed even more after being warned by the flying arrows that night, and it was obvious that the people of the Pink Swallow would only use this method after they knew that they were going to track down their whereabouts with all their might. And in addition to the people around him, only some officials in Kaifeng Mansion knew the exact location of their home.
Sun Tu, who knew this, also made a decision, if he wanted to get rid of the pink swallow, the first thing he had to do was to find out the spies around him, otherwise all the arrangements would be learned by the other party earlier.
Lu Fang was covered with muddy water at this time, and his face was even more gray. But he still couldn't help but look up at Sun Tu: "How did you suspect me?" It's impossible for you to conclude that I'm the pink swallow's eyeliner just because of some of my previous practices, right? ”
"It doesn't hurt to tell you this now, your performance is certainly suspicious, but what really makes me see that you have something wrong is that you cooperated with Boss Wen's play. You have a tacit understanding with him, and you are all right, but there is one thing that you don't know, in fact, I have long had some clues about the nest used by the pink swallow to store spices, and I know that it is impossible to be here. Sun Tu sneered and said, "And the reason why you chose this place is probably because it is located in a remote area, so it is easier to get things done." ”
Whether it was what Jin Yi said, or from the mouth of the abducted woman, there was a sound of bamboo near this important nest of the pink swallow. But this time, the target is surrounded by warehouses, and there is not even a decent mansion of a large family, so how can people hear the sound of silk and bamboo from time to time?
With this alone, Sun Tu could confirm that the news provided by the boss was fake, and Lu Fang, who cooperated closely with Yi Singyi and changed his usual words and deeds, was extremely suspicious of being instructed by Fan Yanzi to deliberately lead them here.
Knowing that he was already under Sun Tu's calculations, Lu Fang couldn't help but laugh miserably: "I see, it turns out that I am just pretending to be smart." Sun Dutou is really good, this time I Lu Fang really convinced you......"
Then, he suddenly raised his head and said with a hideous face: "But you are still too conceited after all." Now that you're here, don't even if you're on your guard, don't even think about retreating! As he spoke, he shouted loudly: "You don't have to hide, they are all here, kill all the people, and there is nothing to worry about!" ”
And with his shout, a large area of fire suddenly lit up around the originally dark surroundings, illuminating the corner of the night!
