Chapter 8: Hooked

[Full text reading.]

Chang Sihao said: "Look at you like this, you should have been lurking in the Xu Mansion for a long time, do you know where the prisoners and the like are in the mansion " The family hesitated for a moment and asked: "Who do you want to save" Chang Sihao said: "Liang Bolong"

The guy looked at him carefully again for a while: "If you want to save him, then you don't have to."

Chang Sihao mentioned: "Could it be that he has already been killed?"

The family Ding shook his head: "He was sent by Xu Da Xu Er to be escorted to Jingshi, but don't worry, I have passed the news out, and someone will rescue him halfway."

Chang Sihao was stunned: "Your people"

The family Ding steadied the book in his arms and said: "This is not the place to talk After the third watch, you can go to the third prostitution shack in the north outside the south city to find me" After speaking, he listened to the movement outside and drilled out of the window

Chang Sihao carefully touched back to the wing room, changed his clothes and waited for the banquet to disperse, came out with the troupe, and told everyone what happened Lin Huaishu said: "Can what that person said be true" Chang Sihao said: "I am also suspicious, but he can recognize my knife and steal things in the Xu Mansion At least it can be said that he will never be a member of the Xu family Not to mention that when he was discovered by me, he actually had the intention of committing suicide That is definitely not a fake Lin Huaishu nodded Chang Sihao let the troupe leave the city overnight to avoid trouble Brought Lin Huaishu for a while and went straight out of the south gate

When the night of the third watch was thick, the two of them found the low squatter area Here is a simple structure People come to do business during the day and abandon it at night At this time, it is quiet and half of the dark forest is missing Chang Sihao let Lin Huaishu hide on the side He checked the number from north to south and slowly touched forward After the first room Walked to the second room When he was cautiously walking towards the third room, he suddenly heard a slight rattling sound The small squatter door next to him suddenly opened

Chang Sihao heard that the voice was wrong, and the twisting of the body was an elbow

Halfway through his elbow, he suddenly saw the face of the person who opened the door, hurriedly reined in his strength, and exclaimed, "Mr. Liang, it's you."

Liang Bolong's eyes were full of tears, and he hugged him, and his mouth was dumb, but he couldn't speak, and in the small liao door, the "Xu Mansion Family" who stole the book flashed out half of his body and beckoned: "Come in and talk" Chang Sihao hurriedly gestured for Lin Huaishu to come over and get into the small liao together

The Hessian forest in the shed is like the sound of "chirp, chirp" made by a few people stepping on the wet mud under their feet

The brush pulled the flame and flickered A small oil lamp lit up the four faces The family Ding blew out the fire and said: "It turned out to be the Hou Ye Zhao Qi asked the Hou Ye to say goodbye" Chang Sihao held him up: "No need to be polite" Seeing that Liang Bolong was speechless and asked about the root cause Zhao Qi sighed: "Mr. Liang is in the Xu Mansion Xu Da Xu Er ordered not to give him food Three meals a day poured sauce on him So he was dumb "Liang Bolong couldn't help nodding and burst into tears Chang Sihao gritted his teeth angrily Knowing that for a person who loves drama A bad throat is more bitter than life Lin Huaishu held the arm of the class leader There were tears in his eyes Zhao Qi said: "I was originally General Lang Qiuxin's person General Lang received a letter from Lord Qi and began to investigate the Xu family, but I was killed halfway In order to avenge Lord Lang, I entered the Xu Mansion by buying land and offering money to secretly inquire about the situation of the Xu family."

Chang Sihao was quite familiar with the name Lang Qiuxin, and after a little recollection, he remembered that Qi Jiguang had mentioned that he and another person were called Tang Yuchen, knowing that they were indeed Qi Jiguang's old subordinates, he undoubtedly nodded

Zhao Qi took out three books from his bosom One of them was what he stole tonight The other two are also in the same shape as the cover and said: "This is the account book of the Xu family to 'contribute' the annexed land Chang Sihao took it and looked at it The first book records the area, nature and fertility of the land, but the second book contains various times and the names and seals of the third book are the records of the entire transaction

Zhao Qi explained: "This notation is called 'Yin Book' Divide the transaction into three parts and collect them separately So that someone steals a copy It doesn't make any sense When Lord Lang got the first book, it was exposed Leaving the book to me was killed After I entered the Xu Mansion After several times I stole the second book After that, the people of the Xu Mansion strengthened the supervision Although I found out the location of the third Yin Book, but I have never been able to act A few days ago, a person suddenly came to the house and inquired about Mr. Liang So I looked for an opportunity to rescue him."

Chang Sihao said: "The guards of the Xu Mansion are so strict, how did you rescue him?"

Zhao Qi sighed: "Speaking of which, I can be wronged Mr. Liang There is a sewage pool in Xu's mansion that contains crocodiles......

Chang Sihao said "ah": "The drain ......"

Zhao Qi said: "It is the dungeon where Mr. Liang is connected to this cesspool, there is a crocodile to guard it, but this beast seems to be powerful, in fact, it only needs a rope to tie its mouth, then there is no fear, I first tied it with a rope, and then sneaked into the prison to save Mr. Liang and dragged him out of the ditch, so he escaped with his life, but Mr. Liang suffered a lot of crimes."

Liang Bolong waved his hand and shook his head again and again, indicating that the pain of the little sludge and stinky water Compared to his sacrifice of his life, it is really nothing Holding his hand tightly Zhao Qi said: "Mr. You don't have to be like this You don't know Qingteng Military Master You are willing to stand up for him in the Golden Palace Now it is difficult If you don't save yourself when you see death, is it still a person The two of them held their hands together for a while, and Chang Sihao and Lin Huaishu also followed the ups and downs of their hearts

Zhao Qi said: "After rescuing Mr. Liang, the guards in the Xu Mansion are stricter, and the action is becoming more and more difficult It just so happened that Miss Lin entered the mansion to sing today, and I had the opportunity to steal the book, but I didn't want to meet Master Hou At that time, I saw that you were holding the threat of Lord Qi in your hand and were willing to give me the book, so I already knew that you were probably not an outsider, but Xu Mansion was dangerous after all, so I made an appointment with you here to let Mr. Liang hide it and steal the authenticity."

Chang Sihao smiled: "Be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship a little cautious."

Zhao Qi said: "But I'm a little strange Master Hou, why did you think of the drainage ditch as soon as you heard the crocodile Could it be that you also ......" Chang Sihao nodded and smiled: "Yes I wanted to sneak into Xu's mansion from there When I got there, I found that there was an iron fence that was rusty and one of them was still with some bends Dare to love It turned out that you made it I didn't know at first I still drilled into it The crocodile rushed out and chased me along the waterway But it scared me enough Haha...... "I was smiling I saw Zhao Qi's face suddenly change Hurriedly asked what was wrong Zhao Qi said: "Xu Da Xu Er is extremely cautious After Mr. Liang escaped Isn't it strange that they didn't keep quiet, and they didn't send anyone to fix the barb, and this time the crocodile rushed out for no reason, and they didn't send anyone to track it down in the city."

Chang Sihao said: "What do you mean that they are pretending to be unaware and waiting for someone to take the bait."

Zhao Qi said: "Anyway, this place is too close to them, and it is not safe in the end, let's move quickly" Chang Sihao nodded and put the book into his arms Lin Huaishu hugged Liang Bolong After Zhao Qi broke off, the four of them opened the door and were just about to leave, and suddenly they felt a dazzling light in front of them Someone shouted "Release" Suddenly hundreds of tongues of fire shook Chang Sihao was startled and waved his arms to sweep Lin and Liang back into the shed and shouted: "Get down"

The four of them lay down at the same time, and they heard the loud sound of the clapsticks in their ears, and the small squatter shed was beaten to pieces in a moment

Chang Sihao pushed and pushed Liang Bolong and Lin Huaishu into the corner, and blocked them with his body, and sawdust and grass residue flew everywhere, falling on his head and face

After a while, the sound of the gun faded away, and someone outside ordered: "Go in and have a look" followed by the sound of footsteps and slowly approached the squatter

The person who came held a simple knife in his hand, carefully picked open the door with the tip of the knife, and probed inside, when suddenly a white light flashed, and his body fell down

Everyone outside was amazed at themselves, only to see something flying out of the squatter door, the horn clicked to the ground, and the bones rolled to the front It was the man's head that frightened them to hurriedly reload and load the ammunition At the same time, the headless corpse at the door of the liao suddenly stood up, and the butt flew backwards, and flew backwards Just in case, there were more than a dozen gunners who had not fired Seeing this scene, they shot one after another After the smoke of gunfire, he suddenly felt a flower in front of him The sky was spinning, and his body holding the gun instantly became extremely tall and hissing from his neck cavity Still spurting blood lines out It turned out that Chang Sihao rushed out with the corpse as a shield and immediately flashed out after blocking a round of iron bullets Ten miles of time, the sword is like a flying hand, and their heads are removed in an instant

Just now, when Chang Sihao was in the shed, he observed the bullet hole, and he saw that the person who gave the order was that Lu Huoda, "Lu Da Guardian", rushed out at this moment, aimed at the direction, and the fast sword was like a splash, chopping waves and slashing waves, and he grabbed him in his hand with just one move, jumped back to the front of the shed, and shouted: "Put down the gun."

After each of the Xu Mansion family members finished their bombs, they aimed over, and one of the family members in the crowd shouted: "Let go" and suddenly the fire was ignited

Chang Sihao didn't expect that they didn't even care about the life of the leader Hurriedly took Lu Huoda to block it The sound was loud and instantly drowned Lu Huoda's screams Chang Sihao rushed back to the shed and fell to the ground Zhao Qi came over to hold him Look at the hole in his clothes and exclaimed: "Master Hou, you are injured " Hurriedly untied his placket But he saw that there were several thick pieces of mud on his chest and abdomen The iron bullet was deeply embedded and still sizzling Chang Sihao shouted: "Oops, it's so hot " Quickly pulled out the iron bullet It turned out that when he was hiding in the shed just now, he had already grabbed wet mud on the ground and rubbed it into his arms and pasted it between his clothes It's as greasy as a pill, and although it has poor protection, it also reduces the power of the iron bullet a lot

A round of guns sounded I only heard the family Ding who gave the order outside laughed: "This kind of dense chaos can't be killed, Hou Ye is really good at it" Another person laughed and said: "Hey, big brother, are you mistaken, Yunzhong Hou has died in the hands of Zeng Yi's gang of pirates, and with the burning ship sinking to the bottom of the sea, how can it appear in our Huating?"

Lin Huaishu recognized the voice and said in a low voice: "This is Xu Fan and Xu Kun" Zhao Qi looked out through the bullet hole: "These two guys are very ghostly, they probably changed their clothes, and they were hidden in the crowd, and they couldn't figure out the location."

Xu Fan's voice said: "Yes, without your reminder, I forgot, that's it, how can a dead person return to his soul But it's strange This person is not Hou Ye, and who is it?" Xu Kun said: "Then do you need to say that Liang Bolong stole people's money in the name of singing, and the one who colluded with him was naturally a Jiangyang thief" Xu Fan said: "It turned out to be so, alas, it's a pity that the brain of the Jiangyang thief has become simpler and simpler over the years, and he first wanted to get into our house from the gutter Failed, he actually came up with the stupid idea of using the opera troupe to get in, but he didn't know that he fell into the trap set by his brother."

Xu Kun said with a smile: "At the beginning, I used a fake account to deceive Lang Qiuxin Unexpectedly, he was very ghostly, stole another book, and robbed Liang Bolong, but he was still not caught by me This time I called Lin Huaishu to sing It was to pretend to relax my guard and want to lure this person to show up and touch the melon, but not only did he touch the melon, but this touch was still four."

Xu Fan smiled: "Four big fools hahahaha"

Chang, Liang, Lin, and Wang were holding their breath and catching fire, but they heard a crackling sound behind them, and then the small squatter shed was on fire

Zhao Qi said: "It's not good, they talk in front to attract attention, but they send people to go around the back and throw torches to burn it."

The shed is made of wood, and the grass is on the fire, and the fire is red and the flames are rising, and the heat wave in the shed is scorching, and people can no longer stay At this time, they will be beaten to death by the chaos in the shed, and they are sitting and waiting to be killed Chang Sihao saw the flames quickly climb up to the ceiling, and he was so anxious that the corners of his forehead were sweating and his heart said: "After burning the sea and burning the land, am I the life of dying in the fire?"
