The streets in Hedong District had just begun to become noisy, and when the neighbors were shouting to call Li Zheng to report to the police, the high-speed official boat had already carried the rescued girls through Tongji Gate. Turn right at the fork of the river not far ahead and you will find the Shahe River leading to the Yangtze River.
The power of the motor has been used up. If you want to move forward, you need to start the diesel motor. Because the movement is too great, once started, it cannot be stopped until it reaches Flower and Bird Island. According to the previously formulated plan, Wang Yuanfang stopped the boat on the west bank of the canal, and Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng, and Wu Siyu got off the boat.
"Bon Voyage!"
"Be careful too, see you in Beihai Town!"
Everyone shook hands and said goodbye, then disembarked. After Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng disappeared from the shore, Wang Yuanfang started the diesel motor. The rumbling sound of the motor sounded, and even the Qing soldiers on duty on the city wall were awakened. They all held lanterns and leaned out to check outside the city wall.
In the dark night, a white object that seemed to be a boat slowly sailed away from the shore, and then headed towards the channel of the Sand River at an alarming speed.
"What is that?! Did you see clearly?"
A Qing soldier rubbed his eyes vigorously. "It looks like a boat!"
"That's a water monster! What kind of ship can run so fast and make a huge roar?"
"Hurry up and report to your lord!" After the leader of the Qing soldiers finished speaking, he immediately ran down the city wall holding a torch.
Amidst the roar of the motor, the official speedboat flew on the surface of the Shahe River at a speed of more than 20 knots. Due to the bumps of the speedboat, the girls who were stunned in the cabin slowly woke up.
Under the dim light, a beautiful woman with short hair and a strange gray short dress was standing at one end of the cabin, with what seemed to be a door behind her. Looking back again and again, I found that thick curtains were drawn on both sides of the cabin.
The woman smiled, walked up to the girls, knelt down and said, "Don't worry, we won't harm you. We won't let you be a village lady or a slave. We will help you as soon as we cross the Yangtze River." Untie the rope. You all are good~" After saying that, she gently patted a girl's little face twice.
Tang Xiao almost fainted when the other party touched his face. After the anesthetic wore off, the intense discomfort made her very uncomfortable. But there was something sticky like a piece of cloth stuck to her mouth, which prevented her from spitting out and could only retching.
Seeing that Tang Xiao's face was turning blue, Liu Siting quickly tore off the tape on her mouth.
"vomit~vomit~" Tang Xiao turned sideways and retched for a long time. She hadn't eaten dinner and her stomach was empty. After vomiting for a while, he groaned: "Water...water..."
Liu Siting stood up, took a bottle of water from the coffee table, and gave Tang Xiao a few sips. Tang Xiao slowly recovered.
"Are you hungry? I see that you have been vomiting for a long time and can't spit anything out. Did the trafficker not give you dinner? I heard that you girls usually give you some porridge to eat? Look at how thin you are!"
Liu Siting held Tang Xiao's slender hand and said pitifully. Then he took a piece of chocolate from the coffee table and wanted to feed it to Tang Xiao. The little girl was in a state of shock and refused to eat, so she lowered her head and said nothing. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Who are you? Where are you going to kidnap weak women like us?"
Liu Siting looked at the other party with pity and said slowly: "We will not harm you, and we have no choice but to take you away. We don't have slaves there. If you go, you can be a teacher and teach children how to read."
"Teacher? Teach children how to read?" Tang Xiao felt that the woman opposite was talking nonsense. She wanted to snatch a group of poor girls to become teachers when there were so many talented people and children. What a joke!
Liu Siting saw the girl's expression and knew that she didn't believe it at all. Looking at the other girls who had woken up, they all gathered together, still looking frightened.
"Did I lie to you? You'll know when you get there. If you feel bad after going there, we can send you back."
Tang Xiao stared into the other person's eyes and saw only sincerity. She hesitantly asked: "Is this true?"
"I will never regret it!" Liu Siting said firmly. At the same time, he thought in his heart: "Even my little Hong and I can't go back, where else do you want to go, little girl?"
Most of the residences of Yangzhou salt merchants are located in Guangchumen in the north of Xincheng, and the same is true for the Wang family. At three o'clock in the night, Zhao Xin and the others arrived at the entrance of Shuiguan in the north of the city.
Shen Jingdan had previously paid off the soldiers on duty here. According to the agreement, the water gate would not be closed tightly tonight, and a gap of about one meter high would be left under the water to allow them to pass.
The three of them quietly entered the water beside the city wall, and plunged into the water in one fell swoop. Sure enough, the water gate left a gap, and the three of them entered the city from the water. After landing, the three of them did not change their clothes. They stopped and walked, hiding their whereabouts along the way. It took almost an hour to arrive outside Wang Jinglong's house. Wu Siyu, in addition to going out to pick out "thin horses" in the past two days, walked back and forth on this road and carefully studied the layout of the streets and alleys on this road.
I'm not afraid of looking after the home, but the most troublesome thing is the dog! As soon as one starts barking, all the dogs in the surrounding alleys will follow suit. By that time, even a fool will know that there is a thief in the house.
So Zhao Xin's plan of action this time is to shoot and kill someone if they call the police or resist. After completing the goal, quickly retreat to the gate of Tianning Temple, change clothes and run away. And all this must be completed before dawn.
Climbing a wall and adding a door to a room is something I'm already familiar with. Wu Siyu went up to the roof from the right side of the Wang family's concierge. Ten minutes later, several "ta-da" sounds came from the yard. After a while, there were several soft sounds of metal touching the courtyard door. After a while, the small door next to the main door opened, and Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng stepped in.
"Why so slow?" Zhao Xin asked Wu Siyu in a low voice.
Wu Siyu said nothing and pointed to the courtyard door behind him. Zhao Xin turned around and took a look under the dim lantern light. There were three locks on the door of the small courtyard. I bet Wu Siyu was busy looking for the keys for a long time! The three of them helped Wu Siyu move the bodies of several servants into the concierge and quietly closed the door. Continue towards the main entrance.
Different from later movies and TV dramas, the prevention system of wealthy families in ancient times at night was actually very strict. At night before going to bed, the door will be closed and locked every time you enter the yard. Therefore, the gate of a large house will turn into a fortress with layers of defense at night; it is impossible for just a few armed thieves to break through. Of course, except for some masters who fly over the walls.
According to the information provided by Shen Jingdan, there were more than a dozen invited guards in the Wang family's inner house; in addition to people from the Cao Gang, it was said that among them were Gan Fengchi's apprentices.
"Gan Fengchi?" Zhao Xin had actually read some information about this martial artist whose birth and death dates were unknown in history. The cause is those famous Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts films. It is said that this Gan Fengchi once studied under Huang Baijia, a descendant of Huang Zongxi, and did not return to his hometown until he was more than eighty years old. If calculated according to Huang Baijia's birth and death dates, Gan Fengchi's current age should be between fifty and eighty years old.
Zhao Xin thought in a wicked way, wondering if there were any descendants of Gan Fengchi among the concierges Wu Siyu killed just now?
Continue to take the ladder up to the wall. Who would have thought that a change would happen at this moment!
"Who!" Someone on the roof suddenly shouted, and then stepped on the ridge of the roof and rushed towards Wu Siyu who had just climbed up the wall.
"I'll go! There's such a master!" Zhao Xin secretly screamed something bad. At this moment, Wu Siyu loosened his hands and his body fell to the ground. Unexpectedly, as soon as he landed on the ground, there was a "ding-dong" sound, and a cold light flew from the night. It grazed the top of his head and hit the ground behind him. Immediately afterwards, a black shadow fell from the roof and struck Wu Siyu with a knife.
Wu Siyu was shocked and rolled on the spot, wiping the blade of the knife to avoid it. Before Zhao Xin could react at this time, Liu Sheng had already pointed his gun at the black figure and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
"Da da da."
"Crack! Plop!" The Yanling knife fell to the ground, and the owner of the knife immediately fell to the ground and died.
"I'll wipe it!" Zhao Xin suddenly broke out in cold sweat. It was really electric and flint just now, a critical moment. If he was struck by a knife, Wu Siyu would definitely be seriously injured. You really can’t underestimate the ancients!
At this time, the inner courtyard had been alarmed, the lanterns in the corridor were lit one after another, and more than a dozen people rushed into the courtyard as soon as they entered, guarding either with long knives or sticks. Zhao Xin is also willing to go all out. If he gives up halfway today, Shen Jingdan's family will be in trouble tomorrow.
He turned the HK416 from behind to the front, pulled the bolt and loaded it, and then said to Wu Siyu and Liu Sheng, "Leave me up."
A group of servants and bodyguards in the courtyard were about to open the door and rush out when they saw a black figure appear on the wall to the left of the main entrance. As the black shadow continued to rise, a strange thing in his hand was revealed.
"Da da da da~~~" The sound of continuous shooting with silencers was accompanied by the spray of white smoke, and screams rang out one after another. Seven or eight guards and servants were shot and fell to the ground; a few agile ones quickly hid behind the pillars and the Taihu Stone in the courtyard.
"Who is a good man? Tell me your name. How much money you need can be discussed. Why do you need to be so cruel!" A nursing leader who was hiding behind a pillar said loudly.
Zhao Xin didn't talk nonsense with these people at all. He continuously pulled the trigger in the direction of the sound, causing sawdust to fly on the pillar. Immediately afterwards, he put down the gun, held up his hands, and climbed onto the wall, then immediately stepped onto the roof. Zhao Xin didn't care about the sound he made when stepping on the tiles, raised his gun and continued shooting at the opposite corridor. The two people hiding behind the pillar were unable to dodge and were shot one after another and fell to the ground.
At this time, Wu Siyu also jumped up the wall. Instead of going to the room, he jumped directly into the yard. A nurse came out from behind the Taihu stones with a knife, and stabbed Wu Siyu.
When fighting an enemy with a knife on the ancient battlefield, generally slashing with a knife would not kill the person, and stabbing the person was the most dangerous. This is why no one would fight with a katana on the ancient Japanese battlefield. The first is that the katana is too fragile during chopping, and the blade can easily break; the second is that the efficiency of killing enemies by chopping is too low.
Wu Siyu saw a dark figure rushing towards him from the corner of his eye. If he tried to retreat, he had no way to go. He shrank, fell to the ground, rolled and hid. The pose is ugly, but the effect is great.
Seeing that he missed a single hit, the guard didn't hesitate to fight; he knew there was someone on the roof, and if he tried to kill him again, he would be attacked from behind. Then he took advantage of the situation and twisted around, rushed towards the corridor of the east wing, and hid behind a pillar again.
Zhao Xin knew that there were not many bullets in his magazine. He shouted "Change bullets" in a low voice, then took out a magazine and replaced it, and then inserted the removed magazine into the back of his chest. heart.
Wu Siyu walked to the courtyard door with a pistol in hand and unlatched the door, and then Liu Sheng rushed in with a gun in hand. Wu Siyu made a few gestures, and Liu Sheng immediately fired continuously at the pillars under the east corridor. Amidst the flying wood chips, the skilled nurse huddled behind the pillar. But as Liu Sheng continued to approach, he could no longer hide behind the pillar.
The nurse felt as if a big hammer hit her back hard, and the force penetrated directly through her chest; she couldn't control it at all and fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, a burning feeling rose from behind; the nurse almost fainted from the pain, and just as he was about to scream, Liu Sheng shot him in the head.
The three of them finished cleaning the first courtyard, then rushed through the front hall and began to attack the second one. Since the several nursing homes just now rushed out from the second entrance, the door to the second entrance was wide open at this time. After the three of them killed several servants holding sticks, they continued to rush towards the inner house. Wang Jinglong lived in the courtyard of Sanjin. The door of the courtyard was locked at this time. There should be only Mr. Wang and a group of panicked wives, concubines and slaves in the inner courtyard.
Zhao Xin rushed to the courtyard gate, hid behind a pillar, and fired randomly at the wooden door, sending sawdust flying everywhere. Liu Sheng angrily cursed in a low voice: "Don't shoot randomly, you won't be able to penetrate!"
After saying that, he took off the long-handled steel ax tied to his back and slashed at the courtyard door full of bullet holes. After a few blows, a large opening was opened in the wooden door; after a few more blows, Liu Sheng took a few steps back, rushed over with a lunge, and kicked the courtyard door open with a flying kick.
Zhao Xin rushed outside the main house with a gun. Liu Sheng came over with an ax and slashed hard. The gorgeous carved wooden door soon became torn into pieces.
There were only a few maids left in the house hiding under the bed, and Wang Jinglong and his wives and concubines were nowhere to be seen.
Zhao Xin went up and pointed his gun at a maid and shouted: "Where is Mr. Wang?! Tell me quickly!"
The maids were so frightened by the evil aura of Zhao Xin and the others that they trembled all over, and soon, a sultry aura rose in the room.
"Holy shit! I was so scared that I peed. Tie them up and gag them." Zhao Xin said to Wu Siyu, then turned on his flashlight and searched around the house. Liu Sheng and Wu Siyu immediately took out plastic ties and tape, tied up several maids with their backhands, and put several rounds of tape on their mouths.
Suddenly, Zhao Xin discovered that the maid's urine flowed along the ground into a crack in the bricks next to a cabinet. Looking around the cabinet again, there are obvious signs of dragging!
"There's a problem here! Help me." Zhao Xin said, and began to invite Liu Sheng to come over and move the cabinets together. The two of them pulled hard, and one end of the cabinet did not move. The other end was opened ninety degrees outward, and a slate with the same color as the bricks on the floor was exposed. There was a dented iron ring on the stone slab. Liu Sheng pulled hard, and the stone slab was lifted open, revealing the dark space below.
"Master Wang, don't hide, come out." Zhao Xin said in a low voice to the cave below.
After a while, there was no response.
"Hey! I still don't believe it." Zhao Xin turned on the flashlight and took a photo below. Down a few steps, a skirt corner disappeared with a "swish".
"Master Wang, if you don't come out, we will rush in. Swords have no eyes, and it will be difficult to deal with injuries."
"Hero, spare your life! Hero, spare your life! I'll come out, I'll come out right now."
Under the bright light of a flashlight, a man wearing only underwear walked up the steps. This man looked to be in his forties, with a fat head and a few strands of beard. Immediately afterwards, several women with tearstained faces came up, all crying.
"Are you Wang Jinglong?" Zhao Xin pointed his flashlight at the fat man and asked coldly.
"I'm just asking you to spare your life. You can take all your belongings from home. I just ask you not to harm our lives."
Zhao Xin nodded and said, "Tie up these women and don't hurt them."
Liu Sheng rolled his eyes at Zhao Xin, and he and Wu Siyu worked hard again, tying up Wang Jinglong's wives and concubines, and wrapping tape around their mouths.
"Since we say we have property, where is the money?" Zhao Xin asked Wang Jinglong fiercely.
"They are all in the cellar. Please forgive me!" Wang Jinglong knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy. Soon his forehead was bruised.
"Keep an eye on him, I'll go down and take a look." After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he walked down to the cellar.
This cellar is not big, only about thirty square meters. The walls are made of large bluestones, and the floor is also covered with blue bricks. Under the flashlight, dozens of large wooden boxes were stacked against the wall on three sides. In the middle of the cellar are three rows of mahogany shelves, filled with various gold, silver and jade items, as well as several stacks of thread-bound books and dozens of pieces of porcelain.
Zhao Xin casually opened a box and found a piece of white money. Opening another one, it was filled with piles of paperwork. He picked up one and saw that it was a land deed; it was of no use to him. He didn't bother to check them one by one, and immediately took out the jade pendant from his collar... After a few minutes, the cellar became empty.
Zhao Xin walked up the steps, raised his hand and shot Wang Jinglong in the head.
No nonsense, all the villains in movies and TV series die from talking too much. (Bah, Zhao Xin is not a villain.)
"Tap da." Zhao Xin fired two more shots at Wang Jinglong's head, and then said to Liu Sheng and Wu Siyu: "Withdraw!"
