Precisely because he knew the power of the organization behind the young people, Boss Zhu never gave up on protecting himself during his years in Yangzhou.
Send a secret signal and let the most trusted person activate the mechanism!
Next, Boss Zhu didn't hesitate for a moment, and flew towards a corner of the hall. His originally clumsy body became extremely flexible.
"It's close, it's close!"
Seeing that he was only one step away from the secret door, Boss Zhu couldn't help but reveal a sense of ecstasy in his eyes!
But soon, this expression was permanently fixed on his face.
Behind him, a small crossbow arrow caught up with him at lightning speed, and then penetrated deeply into his body.
"Bang..."
Boss Zhu's body fell to the ground slumped.
The forward force even led him to slide forward a few steps, leaving a long trail of bright red blood on the ground.
"Why, why?"
With his eyes wide open, Boss Zhu tried hard to look behind him and see why the soft armor on his body that could protect against military bows could not protect against this small crossbow arrow.
But in the end, he still lowered his head and his eyes were distracted.
"Bah! You want to trick me again? Do you really think I'm such a trickster?"
Behind him, the young man stood up from the ground in disgrace, looking at Boss Zhu's body angrily and spitting.
Just now, the moment the bowstring sounded, he had already reacted, flew directly into the hall, and took out a delicate gun in the air, shooting Boss Zhu who was trying to escape.
"Hey, are you okay?"
He stepped forward with his gun and glanced at Boss Zhu on the ground. Only after he was sure that he was dead, the young man returned to the outside of the hall, sat on the threshold and shouted outside.
"It's okay!" Someone in the yard simply replied.
Although the situation just now was thrilling, it was not serious enough to kill them.
When the sharp arrows came, a few of them either used the fallen guards as shields to resist, or directly used their weapons to protect themselves. In the end, a hail of arrows rained down, and no one was even injured.
I feel pity for those guards. They didn't die in the hands of outsiders just now, but now they are stabbed like porcupines by their own people, and they die miserably.
I don’t know if Boss Zhu will be so angry that he will jump up from the ground again if he sees this scene.
"It's okay, eh? Where is Xiaohe? Where is he? Who saw him?"
He stood up with great effort and picked up the folding fan he had just thrown away from the ground. The young man slapped himself a few times in a very graceless manner. Then he rolled his eyes and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why was there one person missing?
Several men in black were stunned, looking around and shaking their heads.
When the arrow came just now, they only cared about themselves. How could they see how others were doing?
"Idiot, look for it!"
Shocked in his heart, the young man jumped up as if his butt was on fire! Just as I cursed, something moved under the peony bush in the corner.
"Xiaohe?"
Keenly aware of this, the young man took a few steps to the peonies and looked down!
Xiaohe was not seen, only an earth-colored flap was slightly shaking.
"Xiao He, are you in there?"
Knocking on the flap with his fan, the young man couldn't help but shout inward.
"Um!"
Soon, Xiao He's voice came from below. Although it was a little dull, he was not panicked. It seemed that there was no danger.
"Why are you crawling down there? It's not a mouse?"
Knowing that he was fine, the young man also breathed a sigh of relief. He complained, but his hand did not stop at all. He took the long knife handed over by the man in black next to him, stuck it on the flap, and lifted it hard, and the concealed piece of The flap flew up immediately!
Opening the flap, there was no surprise that there was a dark hole underneath, and there seemed to be a little fire inside.
Standing up and tucking the front of his gown into his belt, the young man jumped off before the man in black could stop him.
"Boom..."
There was an echo from the cave.
The young man squinted his eyes until he got used to the darkness inside, then looked around.
It turns out that this cave may not seem high, but it is very wide inside.
Not only are there tables and chairs and other daily utensils, but there are also several dark passages with unknown depth in the corners, and I don’t know where they lead.
"I'll go, Cunning Rabbit Three Caves!"
After a few steps, he came to Xiao He who was holding a fire folder. The young man looked at this underground space and marveled.
Not to mention anything else, there are three entrances in this space.
In addition to the one he just came in, there is another one, looking at the direction, right in front of Boss Zhu who just died! No wonder he ran there.
Obviously, the biggest role of this place is to guard against young people.
But unfortunately, Boss Zhu misjudged the young man's strength, and also misjudged his own strength. He was sent to the west without even a chance to hide.
I walked around the ground with great interest, but found that there was nothing good except a bit of gold and silver.
Also, it doesn't seem like the place where you are escaping is made magnificent.
————
Zhu's house in Yangzhou City suddenly caught fire in the afternoon.
The fire is huge! Especially when blown by the strong spring wind, it is even more difficult to clean up.
The water dragon truck in the market soon came squeaking, but no matter how hard the people of the water dragon team tried, the little water they sprayed had no effect on this kind of fire. It could only wet a section of the courtyard wall, proving that it had also been Worked hard.
All the servants of the Zhu family ran away, and many even ran away with their belongings wrapped around them.
When the government officials who had just arrived saw this scene, they jumped to their feet and cursed angrily, but they couldn't move away to catch those who took advantage of the situation.
The fire burned for a long time and was finally extinguished in the evening.
At this time, only a few ruins of the huge Zhu family residence were left standing in ruins.
"Where are the people? Is anyone alive?" The county magistrate wearing a black gauze hat looked anxiously at the government officials who were constantly coming in and out. His sweat-stained forehead was covered with ashes blown up by the wind.
"Nothing was found. They were probably all burned..." the squad leader replied with a grimace and his hands in hand.
"Not found? Is the head of the Zhu family alive?" The county magistrate's expression changed and he asked sharply.
"this……"
The squad leader looked at the county magistrate's face, carefully swallowed his saliva, and replied: "This Mr. Zhu was a small handyman before, and he only started his family after he was recruited as his son-in-law, and his wife has long been After passing away, apart from the master of the Zhu family, there is only one young son left. It will be difficult to find them."
"Is it difficult? Then keep looking! If you can't find it, no one needs to rest!"
The county magistrate didn't care about anything but just yelled and cursed. The head of the class rolled his eyes when he scolded.
With such a big fire, it would be difficult for him to find the body of an adult. Now he has to find the body of a child?
"Hey, the first level of officialdom kills people! No matter what, if the child's body can be dug up later, no matter who he is, they will all be said to be the young master of the Zhu family!"
