Yang Yuan didn't sleep like the others, but he was extremely excited, and he couldn't express his anger, which made him unable to calm down at this time.
In the darkness, Liu Heng was holding his own knife, and so were several other people, all holding their own weapons.
"It's more important to be steady at this time." Liu Heng said in the darkness, "The weather is too hot and I have to go to bed late. We will do it when the weather gets cooler in the middle of the night. There is no rush now."
One thousand taels of silver is very important to the bandit camp. Buying firecrackers and weapons costs money.
A penny stumped the heroic man. Liu Heng himself didn't know where to get the money back. Chen Dafu cheated him of his money. Naturally, he couldn't bear the loss.
In addition to the firecracker matter, I came to Lingqiu to solve the Chen Dafu matter.
The camp was short of money, so Liu Heng thought about making money through robbery, but he gave up the idea as soon as he raised it.
The Ming Dynasty is relatively stable now. If you continue to be bandits, you are just seeking death. One Tiancheng Guard can wipe them out. The Ming Dynasty has more than one Tiancheng Guard, and there are even more powerful border troops. Any troops sent from the Nine Borders can wipe them out. And the thousands of bandits under his command.
Think about a man as powerful as Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the 72nd Battalion of the Thirteen Families, with a much greater reputation than him. He burned down the Fengyang ancestral tomb of the old Zhu family, and in the end, his head was captured in Heishui Valley. .
Liu Heng leaned against the wall, motionless with the knife in his arms. After Yang Yuan asked a question, he sat on the stool in the room and waited patiently.
After the third watch, the temperature in the room dropped a bit.
At about the time of Chou, Liu Heng, who had been waiting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes in the darkness and suddenly stood up.
As soon as he moved, several people in the room stood up.
"Walk."
Liu Heng came to the yard, and Yang Yuan and others followed him out.
The wall between the two courtyards was as tall as a person. Liu Heng took two steps back, jumped forward, hooked his palms on the edge of the wall, turned over and jumped up.
Riding on the top of the wall, he pulled the other people up one by one. After everyone landed in Chen Dafu's courtyard, he carefully jumped off the top of the wall, trying not to make any noise.
Several figures appeared in Chen Dafu's yard. Liu Heng turned his head and made a silent gesture towards Yang Yuan and the others, then he bowed towards the yard and came to the door of the main house.
Five people, including Liu Heng, pressed their bodies against the outer wall of the main house of Chen Dafu's house.
Liu Heng took out his dagger and put it into the crack of the door, carefully picking out the latch inside.
The dagger held the door latch and moved it more than a dozen times. The door latch was pushed aside. Liu Heng pushed it gently with his hand, and the door of the main room was pushed open.
Liu Heng walked quietly through the door, trying not to make a sound.
Yang Yuan and others followed him in one after another, leaving Zheng Tie alone in the yard looking out.
The main house of Chen Dafu's house has three rooms, with an outhouse in the middle, facing the door of the main house, and east and west rooms on the left and right.
Liu Heng, who walked in from the door, stayed in the outer room and listened carefully. There was snoring coming from the east room, but there was no sound from the west room.
At this time, Liu Heng did not dare to be careless. He turned around and winked at Yang Yuan, while pointing in the direction of the west room.
Yang Yuan nodded and led one person to the west room.
After a short time, Yang Yuan retreated from the west room and shook his head slightly towards Liu Heng.
Snoring could be heard in the east room, but the people inside were still sleeping soundly.
If you are sure that no one is in the west room, then you will only be in the east room.
Liu Heng raised his finger and pointed to the east room, and Yang Yuan led others to touch the east room again.
But this time Liu Heng also followed him into the east room.
Under the faint moonlight, two white bodies of a man and a woman were lying on the bed in the east room. The man was snoring constantly, which was very easy to recognize.
Yang Yuan slowly leaned over, carefully avoiding the man on the kang, and came to the woman. He covered the woman's mouth with one hand, and picked up the knife with the other hand and wiped it directly from the woman's neck.
The woman kicked her feet twice and then remained motionless.
Seeing this scene, Liu Heng's eyes twitched, but he didn't say anything.
He could ask Yang Yuan to let the woman go, but he couldn't take the risk. If he wanted to blame, it was the woman who shouldn't have come to see Chen Dafu tonight.
As Yang Yuan cut her throat with a knife, the woman's blood spurted out, and some of it splashed onto Chen Dafu who was sleeping beside him.
Chen Dafu, who was sleeping soundly, was not alert at all. In his sleep, he wiped a handful of the woman's blood splattered on his body with his hand and continued to sleep soundly.
Seeing this, Yang Yuan did not wait for Chen Dafu to wake up, retreated to the outer room, scooped a ladle of cold water from the water tank and poured it on Chen Dafu.
As the cold water poured down, Chen Dafu sat up with a start and muttered: "It's raining."
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw several strange men standing in front of the kang. This made him startled. Just as he was about to shout, he saw a gleaming knife tip pointing at him, which made him stutter. Said: "Who are you? Come on, what are you doing at my house?"
"Ah! Blood."
Chen Dafu's hand on his side felt sticky. He turned his head and looked over. When he saw the head of the woman sleeping next to him hanging down, with blood pouring from her neck, he couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"Shut up, if you yell again I'll kill you now." Yang Yuan put the knife on Chen Dafu's neck.
"Yes, yes, it's you!" Chen Dafu was still somewhat rational. When he heard Yang Yuan's voice, he felt familiar. He immediately reacted and thought of someone, and immediately became more stuttering.
"Yes, it was me. You defrauded me of my money and you thought it could be so simple." Yang Yuan stared at Chen Dafu ferociously.
Recognizing Yang Yuan's identity, Chen Dafu's body trembled even more, thinking of his next fate.
"What does it smell like?" Zhao Wu smelled a smell of urine, and soon discovered that the smell was coming from the direction of Chen Dafu.
Yang Yuan sneered: "You have so much courage to defraud me of my money."
Liu Heng said: "Chen Dafu, whether you live or die depends on your choice. If you hand over the money, I might even spare your life."
"Yes, yes, yes." Aunt Chen stammered, "Everyone, I will give you your money, I will give it to you all."
Yang Yuan urged: "What are you still waiting for? Where is the money?"
Chen Dafu trembled and wanted to get off the kang, but Yang Yuan stopped him with a knife.
Liu Heng said: "You don't have to move, just tell us where the things are."
Facing the gleaming weapon, Chen Dafu did not dare to move, and stammered: "Here, in the box, there is a cloth bag on the bottom layer, and the silver is there."
Liu Heng winked at Zhao Wu, who walked to the box on the wall, cut off the iron lock on the outside with a knife, opened the box and rummaged around, and finally took out a cloth bag from the box.
After opening the cloth bag and checking it, Zhao Wu whispered: "Master, the number is wrong. This is only more than three hundred taels."
Liu Heng frowned, looked at Chen Dafu and said coldly: "I gave you a chance to live, but now it seems that you are not willing to cherish this opportunity."
When he heard Zhao Wu call out the words "big boss", Chen Dafu was already frightened. The only person who could be called such a person was the one who occupied the mountain outside the city and became the king.
