After the Japanese pirates were tied and gagged, the commotion in the small courtyard gradually calmed down.
Because everyone was unprepared, even though they were discovered, they almost failed.
But in a hurry, many of these Japanese pirates slept naked, and were hacked to death on the bed without even having their weapons beside the bed.
Soon, the small courtyard became quiet again.
Such a loud sound must have alarmed the surrounding neighbors.
There was also a rapid banging sound in the distance.
The two brothers who were guarding the alley hurried in at this time.
"Third brother, everyone is alarmed. When I came, there were already lanterns coming in this direction from outside the alley!"
"It must be a pawn!" Zhu'er said anxiously.
When Qin Lie heard this, he frowned and looked at Ono Yoshihei who was still struggling on the ground and remained silent.
Zhu'er urged: "Third brother, let's go back to my yard to hide!"
Qin Lie shook his head: "No, you can't stay there anymore, let's go together and break out! Zhu'er, after you go around a circle, go back to the small courtyard to find out what's going on!"
Wang Zhuer was anxious: "What about you?"
"There is a great immortal temple in the city. There is no one there on weekdays. Let's go hide first!" Qin Lie decided.
"Okay, let's go quickly!" Daozi heard the banging sound getting more and more urgent, and he quickly urged everyone.
A group of people checked their belongings and saw that nothing with markings was missing. Then they lit the tent on fire, kicked open the door and rushed out.
It was already the fifth watch when the Sui captain of Changshu County heard the report from the night archer.
Hearing this, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He kicked down the archer who reported the news and cursed: "Why are you just replying now?"
The archer said aggrievedly: "I thought it was a fire. When we went there, we were afraid that the whole street would be burned down, so we all rushed to put out the fire. Only when we were halfway through did we put out the fire, did a neighbor tell me that we heard shouts and curses coming from inside in the middle of the night. The sound of weapons clashing!"
Captain Sui cursed and got up, put on his clothes, and called a few family members, asking them to notify the brothers in class three.
When he arrived at the burned yard, he found that the backyard of the small yard was burned to charcoal. Although the open fire was extinguished by water, the collapsed pillars were still smoking.
At this time, the first policeman to arrive said with a serious expression: "Sui Tou'er, there are more than a dozen burnt corpses inside!"
As soon as he heard that there were more than a dozen people killed at once, Capt. Sui's hands and feet were cold, so he turned around and sent someone to notify the county government.
…
It was not until the morning that Feng Ye, the magistrate of Changshu County, returned to the county government office after being busy for most of the night.
He didn't even bother to drink water, so he summoned the man and said, "You also looked at the body. What did you find?"
The man was very experienced: "My lord, many of these people were killed with a single knife. The perpetrators are veterans!"
At this time, Capt. Sui also stepped in to report: "Sir, there is something fishy about this!"
"Oh?" Feng Ye frowned, "What's wrong?"
The Sui captain looked at the people waiting around him.
After Feng Ye waved his hand and told these people to go down, Capt. Sui said: "That house is the foreign residence of Wang Gui, the former censor of Jiangxi Province. There is a bitch in there, no, there is a woman!"
When Feng Ye heard the word "bitch", he secretly scolded Sui Captou for being rude, but when he heard that it was Wang Gui's foreign residence, he was shocked.
Others don't know who Wang Gui is, but he, a Bailihou, has a clear conscience.
That was a disciple of Shenge's hometown in Songjiang. If something happened to their family and so many people died at once, then the problem must be serious.
He is a small county magistrate, let alone the Shen family. Even Wang Gui, who has become an official, will automatically look shorter when they meet him.
Thinking of this, he said to Mr. Sui with a serious face: "Are you sure of arresting these murderers?"
Capt. Sui nodded: "Before I come back, I have informed the four gates that if there are any unfamiliar people out of the city, they will all be captured!"
"Moreover, the surrounding area is also surrounded by my brothers. Let's check and see if there are any outsiders!"
Hearing this, Feng Ye was very satisfied. After praising Sui, he said: "If there are no clues, you can take my ticket and search for people all over the city. Don't let go of any place! If you encounter any suspicious people, capture them all!" "
Sui Baotou excitedly clasped his fists, thinking that this business is coming soon.
Watching Capt. Sui hurriedly go down, Feng Ye sat on the chair for a long time, and finally called his teacher and asked him to take his post to the Wang family to inform him of the matter, and then asked the Wang family to send someone to ask questions.
…
Zhu'er walked around with Qin Lie and others for a while and then parted ways. When he quietly returned to the courtyard, people in the backyard were already shouting and starting to put out the fire.
He pretended to put on his clothes, opened the back door sleepily and said, "Ah, why is there such a fire? When did it start?"
His neighbor Aunt Wang said: "I think you, a drunken pig, must have been drunk because you slept so deeply! It had started burning a long time ago. Fortunately, the fire was under control, otherwise it would have burned to your house, you drunkard pig." But what should I do?”
Wang Zhuer said with a playful smile: "Auntie, if something really happened, your second brother would have knocked on my door long ago. How can you still let me sleep until now?"
"Pfft!" Aunt Wang rolled her eyes at Zhu'er and scolded: "I said you are a pig, but you are really a pig. Do you think your second brother didn't knock on the door? After knocking for a long time, no one answered the door. We thought You’re not at home!”
Halfway through her words, she suddenly whispered: "I heard that someone died inside, and the government will definitely ask questions soon. Don't say that you slept to death. These damn policemen will definitely use this to extort money from you!"
Wang Zhuer was shocked, and he quickly cried and said: "Aunt, you are used to knowing me. I even ask you to kill chickens for me on weekdays. Who dares to kill someone? What should I do now!"
Aunt Wang looked around and whispered: "I told your uncle and second brother that when I ask questions, you will say that you were drunk at my house! You didn't hear anything!"
…
Sure enough, at dawn, there were policemen on the express team questioning the neighbors around the courtyard.
When asked about Wang Zhuer, a policeman looked at Wang Zhuer suspiciously and said, "Who are you? You look very cool!"
Wang Zhuer had already thought of his words: "Master Cha, I moved here in August. My name is Wang Zhuer."
The policeman sneered and said, "Come here, there's a bastard here! Catch him!"
Wang Zhuer was very anxious when he heard this.
At this moment, Aunt Wang said: "Lu Er, this is our waiter's brother. He's here to do business. Who are you trying to scare? Are you going to take someone away? You can try it with one of us. You've been missing since you were little." In the latrine, it’s your aunt that I’m going to fish out for you!”
When Detective Lu Er heard this, his face turned red: "Auntie, this is official business!"
"It's business, last night Zhu'er was drinking with his uncle and his brother at my house. After drinking, he was so drunk that he passed out. Where are you going to kill people? You try to kill someone when you're drunk!"
"this……"
At this time, Zhao Dungji, who was watching the excitement, said: "Lu Er, we all know Zhuer, he is a kind man!"
There were a lot of "yes"s all around!
After hearing this, Lu Er finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lu Yin, let's take a look!"
Hu Xiancheng had long ago made sure that Zhu'er's road guide had no problems at all.
Lu Er saw that Lu Yin had no problem, so he waved his hand and went to check the next person.
Zhuer was relieved at this moment.
At that time, Xu He asked him to go to the place to get to know the neighbors and be kind to others. He felt that Xu He had done a lot of things.
Xu He told him to use the road guide and not to cause trouble. He thought Xu He was as timid as a mouse.
Now that I think about it...
