At the third watch, the streets are still lively. The curfew is rarely lifted, and there are various theater troupes and sideshows to watch on the streets. People are in high spirits.
Fireworks were set off outside the city. Compared with those inside the city, the fireworks outside the city were freer and more unrestrained.
Among the many spectacular fireworks, a huge red firework exploded in the sky, attracting cheers from audiences near and far.
At this moment, six or seven houses in the city caught fire at the same time, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.
Although the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division had been prepared for the fireworks, there were too many fires this time, and they could only run around.
Naturally, the agents of Shuntian Prefecture could not remain idle, and they also became busy with the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division. In the chaos, some people from the troupe took advantage of the chaos and left.
In the market, two people opened their eyes and quickly rushed out of the market with dozens of goods waiting for sale.
This surprised the other resting people. Is there any business that can't be done this late at night? Moreover, this group of goods moves faster than the owner. Do they want to sell so actively?
More than 20 people walked out of Yan's house, all wearing Dongchang fanzi's clothes. The leader was Zhang Yuan, the official of Dongchang.
These fans were much more low-key than usual, and Zhang Yuan was also much more low-key than usual, only moving around in places with few people.
People from the Wucheng Military and Horse Division came over once to conduct an interrogation. When they saw that they were from Dongchang, they immediately avoided it.
No one noticed that as Zhang Yuan walked around, people kept gathering into his team from the dark. When he turned outside the palace, there were already more than fifty people behind him.
A patrolling Forbidden Army came forward to ask, but Zhang Yuan simply said: "The East Factory is handling the case, and everyone who is idle should stay away."
Dongchang is used to being domineering, and the Imperial Army is not willing to cause trouble. Besides, they were outside the palace and the palace walls were high and thick. What could possibly happen? Can Dongchang still rebel? Isn’t that a joke?
Zhang Yuan led people to a location outside the palace wall. This location was very remote and was at the back of the palace. It was home to the lower-level maids and eunuchs who did menial and heavy work.
They had worked hard all day and were soundly asleep at this time. As long as it wasn't the drake voice of the eunuch overseeing the work, not even thunder would wake them up.
More than fifty people really formed a circle as if investigating a case, checking something carefully.
Several people in the middle of the circle took out a few sharp-nosed shovels, lightly pounded the outside of the palace wall twice, determined the position, and then suddenly drilled in.
Under the red wall, there is a layer of hard soil, but after drilling through this layer of soil, the inside is ordinary sand, which is far different from other places, which is hard green bricks and triple soil.
The few people had great skills and quickly dug a hole that could fit a person in. They did not expand the hole and drilled in one after another along the hole. Only Zhang Yuan was left in the end.
Zhang Yuan looked at the hole in confusion, as if he felt something was wrong, but his mind was so confused that he had no idea what was wrong.
Then Zhang Yuan was also dragged in from the hole, and then a piece of red cloth was unfolded and covered the hole, blending with the color of the palace wall.
After a while, the patrolling Forbidden Army passed by this area. Under the light of the torch, some distance from the city wall, no one noticed the red cloth on the palace wall.
Everyone who entered the palace wall was very excited. They didn't expect things to go so smoothly! Xiao Qin concentrated on her luck, and the breathing, grunting, and sleep murmurs coming from the low-rise houses around her were all fine. They were indeed eunuchs and maids who didn't know martial arts.
He nodded, pointed at the small door, and motioned for everyone to go out. This is still the part behind the palace, far, far away from where the concubines and the emperor live.
Moreover, most of this distance is unobstructed. There are lanterns hanging everywhere in the palace, and there are patrolling guards and eunuchs everywhere. A bloody battle is inevitable.
But this is not a problem. Xiao Qin is confident that with the skills of these fifty people, he is absolutely sure to rush to the palace and kill Jiajing. Because the palace guards work in shifts, there are only about fifty guards in one group.
Even if these guards are all masters, they cannot be higher than the fifty of them. As long as he moves quickly and rushes in front of Jiajing before other guards reinforce him, even if a god comes down to earth, he can't save Jiajing!
Jiajing did not establish a prince. As soon as he died, the two factions of King Yu and King Jing would immediately go to war, and the court would be in chaos. The Yan Party is still powerful, but the opposition is equally strong under the leadership of Xiao Feng.
In this kind of chaos, there is no need to lobby for it, Anda Khan will be the first to jump up and attack, and the Jurchens will naturally follow behind.
The Tibetan area sent people to reason with the emperor. The emperor was dead. Whoever would reason with them would just send them away, and they would naturally turn to Anda Khan.
The emperor is dead, and Wang Zhi's appointment is like a tree without roots. He has turned back into a pirate. Even if he cannot become an ally, his vitality will be greatly damaged. At that time, Japanese pirates took advantage of the situation and rose up.
With the addition of Miao territory, big things can be decided! With infinite longing, Xiao Qin led everyone out of the yard and came to the open space.
In the darkness, countless arrows suddenly flew in. The people in front had no time to react, and they were shot down immediately. Xiao Qin waved his sleeves and knocked away the arrows, but his heart sank into the abyss.
There is an ambush! Xiao Qin shouted: "Retreat the same way!"
Before he finished speaking, countless torches lit up, and hundreds of palace guards, including many in imperial robes, all holding arrows and steel knives, surrounded the small courtyard.
In the distance, torches were lit near the palace, and there were obviously more guards guarding there. The one who stood at the highest position among the guards was Lu Bing.
A believer who was still in the yard heard Xiao Qin's call and immediately turned around and ran towards the hole. However, as soon as he was halfway out, he was stabbed by more than a dozen spears and screamed.
The Imperial Guards who had turned a blind eye to the city wall during their patrol had now surrounded the hole and would directly assassinate anyone who dared to get out.
Xiao Qin quickly judged the situation. There were a large number of guards in the palace, and they were obviously well prepared. No matter how skilled his own team of about fifty people were, they had no chance to assassinate Jiajing.
The ones outside the wall should only be the Forbidden Army. Although there are many people, there is a lack of experts, so turning around and escaping is the best plan. So Xiao Qin led his people back to the small courtyard, closed the small door, and then whispered instructions to Xiang Xiang.
Slowly walking to the wall, closing his eyes, Zhang Yuan struggled a little, got out of the hole in the wall, and shouted: "The East Factory is handling the case, everyone, please stay away!"
Although the Forbidden Army outside the wall was ordered to intercept and kill those who came out of the hole, Lu Bing did not know that Zhang Yuan would be manipulated when he gave the order. Naturally, he did not tell the Forbidden Army that if the Dongchang Factory Master came out of the hole and wanted to how.
Therefore, the Imperial Army was stunned for a moment. In this moment, Xiao Qin had already followed Zhang Yuan out of the cave.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he rushed straight towards the Forbidden Army outside the cave. With his hands raised and his claws falling, the two Forbidden Army soldiers were killed immediately.
The Imperial Guards made a loud noise and attacked with spears. Xiao Qin dodges and kills people at the same time.
Under his cover, the others gradually came out. As more and more people came out, they also stood firm.
At this time, the palace guards, under the command of Lu Bing, had broken through the small courtyard and started fighting with the assassins who were still in the courtyard.
The assassins were highly skilled in martial arts, and there were not many guards in the small courtyard. It was difficult for both sides to decide the winner for a while.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the small courtyard were awakened from their sleep, wondering what was happening outside. One by one, they buried their heads in the quilt, shivering, and just hoped that no matter who it was, they would never break into the house.
At this time, half of the assassins had already gotten out of the wall, and the remaining half had no chance to get out, because there were more and more guards and they had the upper hand.
It's too late to fight at this time, who dares to stick out his butt and get out of the hole? The guard who was definitely going to be hunted was cut in half, his body went out, but his buttocks stayed behind.
Seeing that there was no chance to escape, a master slashed twice to force the guards around him away, blocked the hole in the wall, and shouted loudly.
"Holy envoy, lead the brothers to retreat, and we will hold off the pursuers! Keep the green hills here, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"
At this time, some of the guards, under the command of Lu Bing, began to use ladders to climb over the wall. The palace wall is so tall that unless one has excellent qinggong skills, it is impossible to climb over it without help.
Moreover, there are usually guards with good eyesight watching high up in the palace. One or two people may be able to climb over the wall quietly, but it will never be possible if there are too many people. This is why Xiao Qin went to great lengths to drill holes in the wall.
Xiao Qin saw that the guards had appeared on the wall, and knew that the remaining half of them had no chance to get out. With a long sigh, she led the twenty people who had already got out to fight hard, hoping to carve out a bloody path from the forbidden army.
The Imperial Guards were originally just blocking the holes in the wall, and there really weren't many experts among them. But with so many people and spears stabbing them randomly, it wasn't easy to rush out.
For a time, the sound of killing inside and outside the palace wall was loud and brutal.
Compared to the intensity of the palace, the Criminal Department was extremely quiet, with only two prison guards stretching lazily.
Except for special circumstances, such as extremely important prisoners who need to be guarded and protected, the guards of the Penal Department Prison have always been an independent department and are not responsible for the police.
The police are responsible for arresting people, and the guards are responsible for detaining people. These are two factions. Anyone who can be a prison chief must have some connection with the higher authorities, because the prison chief of the Ministry of Punishment Prison is definitely a fat and wealthy man.
Although the prison boss may not look as powerful as the head catcher, in actual income, the prison boss can surpass the head catcher by a few blocks. Correspondingly, the guards under the cell leader are more profitable than the detectives.
"The Chinese New Year is tomorrow, and we still have to be on duty. It's so cold today. The adults have already been sleeping with their arms around my concubine at home!"
"Nonsense, so I'm an adult. If you're not convinced, just read it. Then you can sleep with my concubine in your arms."
"Hey, how much did the prison boss reward you?"
"Tell me first, how much did the prison boss reward you?"
"Ten taels of silver! The prison boss is so generous this time. Isn't it just a female prisoner? Normally, this is something he can directly make the decision."
"I am also twelve, you know nothing. There are not many police officers who are loyal to Mr. Liu now. Our cell leader is Mr. Liu's confidant.
The prison boss can give each of us twelve taels, Master Liu must reward him at least one hundred taels! Let me see, maybe Mr. Liu wants to play this time. "
"That's true. Zhan Captou has always been at odds with Master Liu. Especially after Master Zhang came, he even went against Master Liu.
This morning Master Zhang came with a group of detectives to inspect the cells. He also blamed Master Liu for not paying attention to the cells. Even the cell leader was scolded and he did not let the cell leader follow him during the inspection. "
"Hey, tell me, is Mr. Liu coming to play? That girl's kung fu is very good.
When we were escorted in, the prison bully in the third area drooled at the sight of this woman. The next night, he paid me a tael of silver and wanted to play with a few brothers.
I gave them the key to my cell, what happened? This woman killed two people with iron chains and scared the rest away.
Damn it, if the prison chief hadn't had the foresight to lock the chain on the pillar, that woman might even have to kill me. Have you never dared to touch her without looking at her?
Sigh, tell me, if Lord Liu wants to play, he won't let us help him press his arms and legs. It's not worth losing his life for ten taels of silver! "
"You have only been working for a few years, so you know nothing. A few years ago, there was some heroine caught in the prison. She was said to be a rebel, but I don't know if it is true. She was very handsome and had high kung fu.
That night, she let the cell boss play with her, and then the prison bullies played with her all over again. The next day, the woman committed suicide and reported it to the police as a suicide in fear of crime. Nothing happened. "
"Is the prison boss so powerful? How did you do it? Did you tie up your hands and feet in advance?"
"Idiot, do you understand the sweat medicine? No matter how powerful a woman is, she has to eat and drink water. The sweat medicine in the hands of the prison boss is very powerful.
The reason why I'm drooling today is probably because I saved it for Mr. Liu. Since the prison boss knew that Mr. Liu wanted to eat, he would not dare to let Mr. Liu drink his pot water.
Tonight, the woman's food and water were drugged. I watched the food with my own eyes, and now I'm afraid that no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to wake up. "
Guard A took a sip and said, "Tell me, after Master Liu has had his fill, can we get a share of the pie? That woman looks really greedy."
Guard B's kidneys are weak, so he is calmer than guard A: "There are many women in the brothels. It's okay not to touch these women. If we catch up with us, the medicine will be overpowering..."
Guard A curled his lips and said, "Pull him down. No matter male or female, anyone who has been played by the prison boss has had his arms and legs broken. He only has half his life left. What a fright!"
"Shh, there are footsteps, it must be the prison boss!"
It was indeed the cell leader who came, but the person who followed the cell leader in was not Master Liu as they imagined, but Yan Shifan who was pushed by two servants in black.
Although the two guards were not well-informed, they still knew Yan Shifan, and they were so frightened that they immediately shut up and became silent. The prison chief glanced at the two men.
"Keep the door safe, and there will be a reward when you turn around."
Two guards ran outside and guarded the cell door. The cell leader took the key and walked towards Rouge Leopard's cell. Two servants in black pushed Yan Shifan behind.
Rouge Leopard was lying on the ground, showing no reaction to the movement outside. The cell leader unlocked the cell door, and the servant pushed Yan Shifan into the cell.
Yan Shifan looked at Rouge Leopard lying on the ground. His perfect curves and charming face made people's blood boil.
Rouge Leopard wears iron shackles on her wrists and ankles. Because she is a felon and has high martial arts skills, this is a necessary precaution.
Yan Shifan looked at the unconscious Rouge Leopard, stretched out his hand to her chest, rubbed it, smiled lewdly, unbuttoned Rouge Leopard's top, reached out and caressed Rouge Leopard's smooth shoulders and pink arms, all the way to her chest. Down……
He twisted his hand hard, and Rouge Leopard suddenly opened his eyes. Yan Shifan laughed loudly, holding an extremely exquisitely made black mole in his hand. On Rouge Leopard's arm, where the black mole should have been, there was only one Red dot.
Yan Shifan looked at Rouge Leopard's surprised eyes and smiled coldly: "I guessed right, the one who left was Rouge Leopard.
Yan Zhihu, you are really good at acting. You even fooled me by pretending to be your sister. I gradually realized that day, but I was fooled by your fake mole.
You two sisters have been wearing this mole in turn for who knows how long, just so that one day you can hide it from the public. It can be said that it is very deliberate. "
The corners of Rouge Tiger's mouth raised, and he instantly regained his extremely charming look. The restraint and shyness that belonged to Rouge Leopard on his face melted away like ice and snow under the scorching sun.
"Hey, the master is so smart. Are you very disappointed now? I originally wanted to taste the fairy peach, but when I got here, I found out that it was just a rotten persimmon."
Yan Shifan was not angry, but smiled evilly: "Let me guess, Xiao Feng must know that Xiao Qin will tell me sooner or later the secret that Rouge Leopard has never practiced the Divine Art of Paradise.
Did he keep you in prison because he wanted me to die on your belly? "
Rouge Tiger rolled his eyes and said with a sweet smile: "Master Xiao is not that smart, I guess you will want to sleep with me.
He just told me that you will retaliate for your anger. No matter if I am a rouge tiger or a rouge leopard, since I betrayed you, you will come to kill me sooner or later.
But I have killed so many people for you, and I have killed many people for the White Lotus Sect before. He didn't promise to rescue me in his original plan, let alone commit any prison robbery for me.
I, on the other hand, know that you have always coveted Bao'er. Once you learn that Bao'er has never practiced the Divine Art of Bliss, you will definitely want to sleep with her.
Even if you want to kill, you should sleep first and then kill, right? "
Yan Shifan narrowed his eyes: "I see, since you knew the outcome, why did you betray me in the first place?
Am I not treating you sisters well? Really for Yu Dayou? Or are you sisters attracted to Xiao Feng? "
Yan Zhihu wanted to sit up, but his whole body was weak and he could only lean on the hay, looking at Yan Shifan with a charming smile.
"You are as kind to our sisters as you are to two dogs.
And I bet that if you weren't afraid of the power of the Divine Art of Bliss, you would have slept with us long ago.
Following you, Leopard will sooner or later become like me, a lewd, bloodthirsty monster who can kill people naked anytime, anywhere.
I can't let her become like that. As for who we like, it doesn't really matter, we definitely won't like you anyway.
Don't say you have no legs now. Even when you had legs, let alone Leopard, even I feel sick when I see you.
I would rather go out and sleep with a beggar than sleeping with you. You still feel pretty good about yourself, huh? "
