"Dang, Dang, Dang!"
"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"
...
In the starry sky at night, there are many stars shining, but only the moonlight is missing.
The sound of the watch came from some dark streets, with a unique rhythm, shouting the rhythm.
Maybe it was to embolden myself, maybe it was because the city was restless, and the watchman had to keep his ears to the outside.
Suddenly, the watchman heard some noises, which seemed to come from the roof on the right side. He took a peek and saw a black figure moving quickly on the roof, but the sound was very small. If it weren't for this night, There is no sound, maybe not heard at all.
The watchmen all come from poor families. Looking at this situation, the black shadow must have strong skills to dare to act like this, so it would be better to have less trouble than more trouble.
"Dang, Dang, Dang!"
"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"
The watchman shouted and gradually walked away.
.....
Besides, the dark figure was dressed in night clothes, with its hair tied up and its face covered. It was walking quickly on the undulating roofs, but it was as if it was walking on flat ground.
After some time, I saw the man in black stopped and looked down at the mansion directly in front of him from a high place. Although it was almost three o'clock, the lights were still bright here, and it looked like it was the home of a wealthy man.
Ordinary people use some oil lamps for lighting. After dark, they go to bed early to save lamp oil. How can they dare to use candles like this without a strong family background.
The man in black moved carefully on the roof, carefully observing the night patrol routes, replacements and rest times below.
This is already the sixth day. The man in black comes to the mansion every night to check the situation carefully.
As an assassin, the first thing is to learn to hide your figure, observe the mission target in the dark, master the rules of their daily life, and kill with one strike.
After changing places and observing again for half an hour, the man in black quietly retreated.
Everything seemed as if it had never happened. A night owl appeared on the wall, its bright eyes scanned the distance, and then it jumped into the bushes and disappeared.
...
The sky was getting slightly brighter, and the sound of cockcrows could be heard in the distance, indicating that a new day was about to begin.
Some vendors who got up early have still opened their shops, and the white smoke gradually rising in the kitchen is also witnessing the beginning of the business.
There is a small shop selling haggis soup, which is also being set up in a hurry because customers are about to come. This is the experience accumulated in daily life.
A young man wearing blue-gray coarse linen clothes was diligently cleaning the tableware and making complete preparations for the upcoming diners.
"Boss Jin, let's have some haggis soup, a larger portion, and three pancakes."
"Okay, Brother Li, please sit down first and you'll be here soon."
I just heard the boss shout: "Ah Feng, tell the chef to bring more haggis and three pancakes to Brother Li."
"Hey, that's good!"
The boy named Ah Feng stood up quickly and ran directly to the kitchen.
After a while, Ah Feng brought a wooden tray, hot haggis soup, and three golden butter pancakes to Brother Li.
"Uncle Li, please use it slowly."
Brother Li laughed and said to Boss Jin: "Boss Jin, you are such a hard-working and polite little Ah Feng, you are really a smart little guy."
Boss Jin also had a smile on his face, but he still muttered: "This kid's hands and feet are quite numb, but his life experience is a bit worse."
Brother Li waved his hand: "In this world, people are all suffering."
Ah Feng smiled naively at the side, and when he saw Uncle Li starting to enjoy his meal, he turned around and left.
Not long after, someone came in to eat again, and Ah Feng was busy again.
Of course, the people who come to Boss Jin's shop to eat haggis soup are all from poor families, and the haggis are all discarded pickled meat. I heard from others that Jin said that although the boss is called boss, he is also from a poor family. I came from a poor family. I once met an expert and got the secret recipe for deodorizing these organs, so I started this business and lived a decent life.
Ah Feng was serving soup on a wooden plate when he suddenly heard several people talking about something.
"Have you heard? The head of the Ouyang family was assassinated last night."
"Ah, who did you listen to? Isn't the Ouyang family a big and prestigious family in the city?"
"Oh, this can be fake. It has spread quickly. I heard that it is the old Suntou next door who works as a servant at Ouyang's house. This morning, he asked someone to send a message to his family. He will not be able to come back these days. Let the family Don’t worry, people.”
"Then why is it said that the head of the Ouyang family was killed?"
"Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Lao Suntou sent a message, saying that martial law is now in Ouyang Mansion. They went to report the case early in the morning, which has alarmed the Lord."
"Oh, this is really shocking. Even the Lord of the Ouyang family has to pay three respects."
"No, no, who would have thought that something like this would happen."
When these words reached Ah Feng's ears, Ah Feng's pupils shrank suddenly. He was stunned and then he realized what he was doing and brought food to those people on a wooden tray.
Ah Feng listened to their lively conversation and asked naively: "Uncle, I thought you were talking about a dead person just now. Which family is this from?"
When the man saw it was Ah Feng, he said in a deep voice: "It's little Ah Feng. It's said that the head of the Ouyang family was killed. The world is so chaotic now. Listen more and see more, but be careful."
Ah Feng continued to ask naively: "Ouyang family, isn't that a rich man? How could he be killed?"
The man then said, "Who knows, maybe he has offended someone and is seeking revenge."
When Ah Feng saw them starting to eat, he turned around and left, continuing his busy task of serving plates.
The time for breakfast in the morning only lasts for an hour. People who get up early are all from poor families. They take advantage of the early morning to build up enough strength so that they can find a job where they can make money by working hard.
The customers in the store also left one after another. Boss Jin was calculating accounts at the counter without saying a word. Xiaofeng was also cleaning the tables and chairs and cleaning up some dirt.
After everything was sorted out, he started sorting out the food to be prepared for tomorrow. Boss Jin took Ah Feng and others to the East District Market to buy some sheep organs, and then brought them back for cleaning and processing.
After everything is cleaned up, it is cooked. Whenever the secret recipe of ingredients is added at the end, Boss Jin sends the others out and works alone. After it is cooked, the whole garden is fragrant and there is no peculiar smell. It is done. .
After the busy work was over, the sky was almost getting dark. After a simple meal with Boss Jin and the people in the shop, everyone except Ah Feng went back to their homes. Boss Jin didn't care about accommodation.
Boss Jin looked at Ah Feng cleaning up and said, "Ah Feng, take a rest early after your work. Don't run around these days. It's not peaceful in the city."
Ah Feng raised his head and said, "Okay, boss."
After saying that, Boss Jin went to rest by himself, leaving Ah Feng to pack his things here.
Not long after, Ah Feng cleaned up the dishes and returned to his room. The room was very simple, with a bed, an old bedding, a square table, and a few changes of clothes.
Ah Feng's eyes became deep and his brows furrowed slightly. He was really shocked when he heard the news that the head of the Ouyang family was killed in the morning, because the head of the Ouyang family was his own target.
Ah Feng looked out the window. The lights in Boss Jin’s room in the distance had been turned off, and Ah Feng would no longer greet him at night. This was what Ah Feng had observed over the past month, and it was just enough to cover up his exploration at night.
It took Ah Feng more than half a month to gain the initial trust of Boss Jin, and he spent six nights exploring the Ouyang Mansion. He wanted to go deep into the house tonight to find out what was going on, but he never expected to hear the news that the Ouyang family was killed in the morning.
What exactly is going on?
Ah Feng felt that there was another hidden story behind this incident. Now that the target is dead, the reason must be found out so that there can be an explanation.
Ah Feng walked towards the old bed, pulled out a bundle from under the bed, took it to the bed and opened it, revealing a set of night clothes.
After putting on his night clothes, Ah Feng arranged the bedding on the bed, opened the door gently, and closed it again.
Ah Feng's body swayed and he ran straight to the wall. He turned around and disappeared.
The night was still as usual, with only a few stars twinkling in the sky.
The murder of the head of the Ouyang family still brought some chaos. At least there were fewer pedestrians on the street. Only twos and threes were still on the road. Those shops with some lights in front of their doors also began to pack up and close their shops for rest.
But in front of Ouyang's house, it felt like facing a formidable enemy. There were still people keeping vigil at night. The lights in front of the door were brightly lit, and the area within a hundred paces radius was reflected as if it were daytime.
Ah Feng gently appeared on the house not far away, with bright eyes, staring at the brightly lit Ouyang home in the distance.
Night has always been the perfect cover for assassins.
For Ah Feng, this level of infiltration is already the easiest among many completed tasks.
Ah Feng's figure gradually retreated into the night, and within a few ups and downs, it approached Ouyang Mansion.
...
In Ouyang Mansion, two voices sounded near the rockery in the front yard.
"Xiao Cui'er, you miss me so much. Let me take a good look at you."
"Oh, you heartless one. Now that something big has happened in the house, how dare you act so recklessly? I'm still a maid next to the old lady. I finally have the time to tell you something."
"Oh, nothing is important to you." A chuckle, mixed with a coquettish exclamation.
"Damn you, be honest and talk seriously. The old lady has issued a strict order. The whole government is under martial law. Don't hit the head of the gun. If someone finds something, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die."
"Hey, what should I do if I miss you? Hehe, let me see if you miss me first." He said with a bad smile.
"Oh, no, don't, well, it would be bad if someone comes."
After saying that, I heard a sudden sound in the distance, and the two voices jumped. They quickly pulled out and took a closer look, but they were all black cats.
"You damn cat, you're in my way."
"It's unlucky to meet a black cat this late at night when someone has just died. Please leave quickly."
The footsteps of the two people became farther and farther away until they disappeared.
Behind the rockery where the two of them were, a figure gradually appeared.
To be continued!
