In the evening of this day, the sky began to turn cloudy. At around seven o'clock, the slightest drizzle fell into Yangzhou City. As the rain intensified, pedestrians on the street went home one after another, and shops began to close their doors. There is no business left in this weather.
Yangzhou City gradually fell silent from the hustle and bustle of the day. At this time, only the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in Liuxiang in the city was still brightly lit. On the painting boat of Slender West Lake, the literati and the singing girls were chatting with each other, and the wine was in full swing.
At almost ten o'clock, near Yanyi Cang in the northeast direction outside Bianyi Gate, a group of masked men wearing dark gray night clothes emerged from the darkness. Several people were carrying large, strange-looking backpacks. As they walked, there would be a slight metal knocking sound in the bag. These people walked very slowly, almost stopping every step, and gradually approached the outer wall of a house.
The outer wall of this courtyard is almost three meters high. When Xu Dayong was surveying the situation here, he had been curious about how Zhao Xin and others would climb up. In his opinion, if you want to climb such a high courtyard wall, you must use a grappling hook or a ladder; otherwise, you need to find a big tree near the high wall, throw the grappling hook from the tree, and then slide over. But there are no big trees here!
Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and Lu Shoushan stood up and faced the wall, bent down and placed their hands on the wall. Ding Guofeng stood behind Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng, squatted down and hugged their legs tightly with both hands; Pan Xiucheng took a quick step at this time, stepped on Ding Guofeng's back and stood up to Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng. Sheng's shoulder, and then Wu Siyu also stood up.
Wang Yuanfang carried a veterinary anesthesia air gun on his back, took four or five steps back, sprinted, stepped on Ding Guofeng's back with his first foot, stepped on Liu Sheng's shoulder with his second foot, and stood up with his third and fourth feet. Pan Xiucheng and Wu Siyu's knees; then the two of them hugged his thigh and pushed Wang Yuanfang up the wall.
Xu Dayong opened his mouth wide and looked dumbfounded. This is too easy! Could it be that these adults were all robbers who climbed over the wall and broke into the house?
On the courtyard wall, Wang Yuanfang crouched down, raised a pneumatic rifle with an infrared night vision scope, and carefully checked what was going on in the courtyard. Not far away, the figures of two dogs appeared in view. As if they noticed some movement, the two dogs that were lying down suddenly stood up and turned to look at Wang Yuanfang.
"Bang~bang~" There were two slight air gun sounds in succession, and the tranquilizer dart hit the dog's body. The tranquilizer dart Zhao Xin got is used to kill tigers and bears. With such a large dose, you don't have to wait too long to kill a dog.
After the two dogs were shot, they whined "Wooing" and soon began to stagger, and then fell to the ground, leaving only their chests heaving together.
Wang Yuanfang put the air gun on his back, took off the grappling hook from his waist, found a good position on the wall and set it up; then he climbed over the wall, rushed out with his upper body, leaned out and pulled Wu Siyu up, followed closely by Pan Xiucheng. When Wang Yuanfang slipped into the yard along the rope, Ding Guofeng from outside the wall also sprinted, stepped on the hands of Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng, and then the two of them used force to lift Ding Guofeng against the wall. Wu Siyu and Pan Xiucheng grabbed Ding Guofeng's hands and lifted him up.
Then came Liu Sheng. He pushed on the knees of Zhao Xin and Lu Shoushan and stood on their shoulders. The two people below gritted their teeth and pushed hard. Wu Siyu and Ding Guofeng helped pull them up and went up. At this time, only Zhao Xin, Lu Shoushan, Liu Siting and Xu Dayong were left outside the wall.
In the third room of the main room, Chen Songyuan and his wife had just fallen asleep. When he heard the dog barking outside the yard, he shouted to a nurse in the side room and asked him to take a look; then he got into bed.
Jia Wang found him at noon today and told him some bad news. Mr. Zhao from the capital had gone back because of urgent matters. Seeing that Bai Huahua's money could no longer be earned, Chen Songyuan was very unhappy. He felt that the girls he raised were not careful that day and failed to seduce Mr. Zhao. As a result, the girls on both sides had nothing to eat tonight.
Just when he and his wife were sleeping soundly after a storm, there was a "swish" sound in the yard, like a handful of soil being sprinkled; Wang Yuanfang and Liu Sheng climbed over the wall and came in.
Zhao Xin and others were extremely disgusted with these guys who forced girls into prostitution, so his request for this operation was to kill all the girls except those girls. As a result, in the side rooms on both sides of the main courtyard, the sound of mufflers could be heard incessantly; the thugs who usually waved whips and strips in front of the "skinny horses" were shot to death one after another.
"Who?!" Chen Songyuan's wife was suddenly awakened from her dream. This woman was always a light sleeper. She pushed the man who was sleeping like a dead pig next to her. Chen Songyuan asked in a daze: "What's wrong?"
"There seems to be someone in the yard!" the woman whispered in her ear.
"Hey, it's Li San and the others who are patrolling the night. Go to sleep."
"I'm going to sleep with you! Can Li San enter the inner house?"
Chen Songyuan suddenly sat up from the bed. "That's right! Li San and the others are patrolling the second courtyard and the two wings at night. They can't enter the back house at all. The door is bolted!"
In the field of view of hunting infrared night vision goggles, moving targets in the dark appear as a black shadow against a gray-white background. Liu Sheng squatted in the yard, pointing the gun at the door. Suddenly, a dark figure began to shake behind the door of the main room. Soon, the black shadow moved to a window. When he heard the sound of flint striking, Liu Sheng did not hesitate to pull the trigger of his pistol at the black figure behind the window.
The pistol equipped with an expensive silencer from another time and space only made two consecutive soft "click-click" sounds in the silent yard. However, a "crash" sound was heard in the room, and then, a The woman started screaming.
"Damn it!" Liu Sheng cursed in a low voice, quickly got up and rushed to the window. With one hand, the frame of the wooden window was suddenly broken with a "click". Then he pulled the trigger continuously towards the huddled black figure in the room. The screams in the house soon fell silent.
In the courtyard on the west side, because they had no food to eat at night, the girls worked for a while after dark and then went to bed early. They have to get up before dawn every day to wash themselves, and then, under the leadership of their mother-in-law, they learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, arithmetic and accounting, or cooking skills from the invited teachers.
Zhao Xin, Liu Siting and four others sneaked in quietly after Ding Guofeng opened the courtyard door. As before, Ding Guofeng poured a lot of soybean oil on the door shaft to lubricate it. After entering the yard, Zhao Xin pointed in the direction, and the four of them moved slowly towards the girls' bedrooms.
At this time, the door of the west courtyard had been opened by Ding Guofeng. Liu Siting walked to the door of the courtyard, turned around, took out two metal cans from the backpack on Xu Dayong's back, and took out two aerosol nozzles and put them on . The jar contained a sedative drug she had prepared in advance to induce sleep.
Zhao Xin took a jar with a nozzle installed and gently slipped into the yard. Ding Guofeng knelt on one knee in the yard and was on guard duty. Zhao Xin took out a knife, poked a small opening in the window paper, then inserted the nozzle of the aerosol can, and then turned on the switch on the metal can. A soft hissing sound sounded in the house, and the girls were still sleeping. Liu Siting also operated the same operation outside the window of another room. She had practiced it many times beforehand in order to minimize the sound of the spray and not be noticed by the people inside.
Xu Dayong looked at Zhao Xin and Liu Siting with a bitter look on his face. In order to achieve the effect of the action, he was used as a test subject for repeated exercises several times before; each time he was made to vomit and faint.
After all the sedatives were sprayed in several rooms, Zhao Xin and others quietly exited the yard.
It is said that no matter it is the 18th century or the 21st century in another time and space, there is no anesthetic that can be sprayed without having many side effects. That's all nonsense! If anyone can invent this, all the anesthesiologists in the world will recommend this person to win the Nobel Prize.
It takes some time for any sedative drug to take effect, a few minutes or even ten minutes. Moreover, gas sedation also depends on the size of the space, the speed of air circulation, the quality of the inhaled medicine, etc. Some anesthetics require the target to wear a mask to be effective; others have a muscle relaxing effect. Once the target is anesthetized, the muscles throughout the body will relax and become incontinent. Hehe, the smell is really touching!
So don't believe the scenes in those movies unless you don't consider the life or death of the target. The reason why Zhao Xin uses halothane is because this drug does not produce muscle relaxation.
The few people waited for about fifteen minutes. Liu Siting patted Zhao Xin on the shoulder to indicate that the time was up. The four of them quietly walked into the courtyard again. Zhao Xin and Ding Guofeng took out their daggers and slowly pried open the door bolts of the girls' bedrooms.
Liu Siting took out the anesthetic medicine she had prepared in advance from the backpack behind her, and then took out a piece of thick gauze to prepare herself. Lu Shoushan also took out a roll of tape and a handful of plastic ties given by Zhao Xin from his bag; he had learned how to use them before.
After the door of a room was pried open, Liu Siting and Xu Da sneaked in quietly. With the help of Zhao Xin's weak flashlight, Liu Siting estimated the weight of the girl sleeping on the bed in front of her, and then estimated the dosage to be used. The weight and amount of medicine needed to be calculated. Liu Siting made a rough estimate and poured some anesthetic on the gauze; then she quickly covered the girl's face with the gauze.
After a minute, Zhao Xin poked the girl with his finger and breathed again. Finding that everything was normal, he patted Lu Shoushan gently. With a "stab" sound, Lu Shoushan tore off a piece of tape and sealed it on the girl's mouth, and then tied the girl's hands and feet with plastic ties.
Liu Sheng's side has been dealt with, and he, Wang Yuanfang, Wu Siyu, and Pan Xiucheng have all arrived in the courtyard to wait. After Zhao Xin and the others dealt with each one, Liu Sheng and the others carried a girl out, walked to the river bank dozens of meters away, and put the girl into the cabin of the high-speed official boat.
More than an hour has passed since we completed the three rooms one by one in this way. During this period, two or three girls had already woken up. But when they found that their hands and feet were tied, their mouths were sealed, and they couldn't make a sound even if they screamed desperately, they could only shed tears and wait for the unknown fate.
When Zhao Xin and others retreated from Chen Songyuan's home, they looked at their watches and saw that it was past 12 o'clock. He was a little anxious, because they had to help Shen Jingdan deal with the salt merchant named Wang, and they had a lot to do tonight. But everything must be done before dawn, otherwise there will be too many boats on the canal, and even the fastest speedboat will not be able to escape.
With a buzzing sound, the 25-meter-long official boat, driven by a motor, drove along the canal toward Hedong District in the south. Along the way, many boatmen were awakened by the hum of their motors as they passed awning boats moored on the shore for the night. When they got out of the cabin and looked on the deck with a lantern, there were only two white wave traces left on the canal in the night.
The Li family in Hedong District was the second target selected by Zhao Xin. There are sixteen "skinny horses" raised in this family, ranging from first to third class; there are even a dozen four or five-year-old girls who were just bought from Xuzhou.
After knocking out a night watchman, the same steps and operations were repeated again. The only difference is that when Zhao Xin and Lu Shoushan killed the mother-in-law who was guarding the little girl respectively. He took off his mask, and under the light of the flashlight, he squatted down with a smile and said to the little girls who were awakened: "Follow uncle, uncle will take you to a place where no one will bully you, and you can have enough to eat every day. "
Children from farmers' families mature relatively early. Although the dozen or so children are only four or five years old, they have been helping the family with work since they were almost three years old. Years of hunger and poverty brought them into premature contact with the joys and sorrows of the world, as well as the harsh conditions of the world.
A girl was sitting on the bed, looking at Zhao Xin's smile. After a while, she suddenly begged in a low voice: "Uncle, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, several other children also started begging. Liu Siting had never seen this before. Her eyes immediately turned red, and tears fell down. She took out two chocolate bars from her coat pocket, tore them open, broke them into several pieces, and handed them to the children. Then, he picked up a child.
"Follow Auntie! Whoever dares to bully you again will be killed by Auntie!"
"Everyone be obedient, be good, don't make a sound, and follow quietly~~" Zhao Xin told each child, asking them to hold the clothes of the person in front of them and walk slowly towards the entrance of the courtyard.
The "skinny horses" in the yard have been carried into the cabin by Liu Sheng and others. Liu Siting and Zhao Xin were just like the aunties in the kindergarten, holding one and holding the other. The rest of the children, led by Xu Dayong and Lu Shoushan, walked quietly to the shore.
Suddenly, a light flickered not far from the alley, and two soldiers on night watch wandered over.
"Who's there?! Stop!"
In the quiet streets at night, a soldier shouted, and Xu Dayong suddenly panicked. He took the child's hand and pulled hard, and the girl fell into the muddy water with a "pop". The sharp edges on the cracked stone slab broke the little girl's knee, and the sudden pain made the child cry "Wow". Xu Dayong was shocked, picked up the child, and rushed onto the speedboat in a few steps.
"I told you to stop and you still ran away! You're looking for death!" The soldier on night watch was furious and picked up the gong under his arm to hit it. "Da da da da" four gunshots rang out. Ding Guofeng and Wu Siyu took action at the same time and killed the two people twenty meters away.
However, they all forgot the gong in the soldier's hand!
With a sound of "Duang~~", the gong fell on the stone surface, sending echoes in the narrow streets and lingering for a long time.
"Woof woof woof!" The dogs of several families in the distance also began to bark wildly; then, the oil lamps in one house after another came on.
"Hurry up!" Ding Guofeng and others rushed over, picked up a little girl in one hand, and ran quickly towards the shore.
The male owner of a family opened the courtyard door, holding an umbrella and a lantern, and saw two officials lying in the rain. The blood mixed with the rain flowed to his feet. The man noticed something was wrong and raised his foot to take a lantern to shine.
"Someone is dead! Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
