"Girl, it's snowing!" Xiaolian pointed outside to remind Xinyou.
Xinyou walked out of the bookstore door and looked up into the sky.
The sky was gray and snowflakes were falling. She stretched out her hand to catch the fine snowflakes.
This kind of light snow has fallen two or three times since the beginning of winter. If something happens to Captain Yang tonight, we will have to see whether it will turn into heavy snow at night.
But it would obviously be too late to arrange an ambush at that time.
It was unknown how many gangsters there were, and Xin You was not prepared to risk waiting any longer, so she arranged for someone to quietly deliver a message to He Qingxiao.
[In view of the general environment,
If Mr. He's people made the trip in vain and had money to make up for it, I believe those people wouldn't be too dissatisfied.
He Qingxiao received the letter and ordered Yan Chao to take action.
Fifty Jinlin Guards put on casual clothes, pretended to be book buyers and walked into Qingsong Bookstore one after another, and then quietly dispersed near the warehouse under the guidance of Liu Zhou.
As for how to hide themselves, these Jinlin guards have their own experience.
Xin You met He Qingxiao in the reception room of the library.
He Qingxiao walked in openly and did not hide his identity. That's the good thing about being a regular, others are used to it.
"Thank you, Mr. He, for sending so many people to help." Xinyou didn't have enough money to hire people to help, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hire too many people. Twenty more Jinlin Guards came than expected, which made her feel nervous. Much more relaxed.
"It's good that Miss Kou doesn't mind the crowd." With He Qingxiao's keenness, he could guess that Xin You would express his feelings towards the men who came to help.
If it had been anyone else, he might have thought that he sent more people here just to make a fortune, but fortunately it was Miss Kou.
And he took the initiative to increase manpower for no other reason. He just wanted her safety to be maximized.
It's a pity that Miss Kou only said to borrow her subordinates...
"How could it be? With these people, I feel more at ease." Xin You thought that it might not be tonight, and changed her tone, "If the gangsters don't do it tonight, they will still trouble Mr. He later."
He Qingxiao smiled: "The Yamen has been busy lately, so it doesn't matter if Miss Kou borrows it a few times."
Having said this, he tentatively asked: "Do you need me to come forward——"
Xin You smiled and declined: "With Master He's subordinates, I can handle it well, so I don't have to trouble Master He."
He Qingxiao's test failed and he sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, he was rejected.
"Then I wish Miss Kou all the best." He Qingxiao replaced the wine with tea and raised the cup.
Xin You sent He Qingxiao to the door of the bookstore and watched the ink-colored figure disappear into the snowy twilight.
It was completely dark, and the people in the bookstore finally finished their busy day. After dinner, they almost fell asleep as soon as they touched the pillows. Only the guards on duty were still walking around.
The lights in each house were turned off, and Xin You stood in the dark. Using the light emitted by the lanterns under the eaves not far away, he noticed that the falling snow suddenly became heavier.
It seemed like it took only an instant for the snow particles to turn into heavy snow, and soon a layer of white fell on the roof and the ground.
Xin You is 90% sure that the incident will happen tonight.
She didn't wear much, she didn't even wear a cloak for ease of movement, and her dark tights blended perfectly into the night.
At this time, there must be many people blending into the night, some of whom she knew well, and some who came uninvited.
Xinyou's eyes were calm, searching quietly.
The two guards guarding the warehouse were shivering from the cold, cursing and hiding under the eaves, stamping their feet to avoid the snow.
Jin Linwei, who was ambushing nearby, felt even colder because he couldn't move, and became dissatisfied.
"The boss didn't tell us clearly how long we will wait, so we are allowed to come here to endure the cold?" A Jinlin guard complained in a low voice.
"Hush, there's something going on!"
There was indeed movement.
Captain Yang is here.
In order to conduct a surprise inspection on those guards who were not paying attention when they were on duty,
Captain Yang didn't even carry a lantern, and deliberately walked slowly.
Xin You held her breath and watched Captain Yang suddenly stop and eject the stone in his hand without hesitation.
The cold light pierced the night sky, and the long knife deflected when hit by a stone, making a crisp sound.
Captain Yang can serve as the leader of more than a hundred guards. He is very skilled. He quickly avoids sneak attacks and fights with the knife-wielding man while shouting: "There is a bad guy!"
The two guards guarding the warehouse looked at each other.
One of them looked surprised when he heard Captain Yang's cry and subconsciously looked for the warning gong.
The other man showed a ferocious expression, drew a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed his companion. The screams sounded, but they were not from his companions, but from him.
Yan Chao, who was standing nearby, put away his crossbow, raised his sword and rushed over.
When Captain Yang shouted out, the gangsters who had sneaked in rushed out, and the Jinlin Guards who were lying in wait rushed out.
On one side were the well-armed Jinlin Guards, numbering fifty, and on the other side there were only a dozen people armed with knives, sticks, and the thief guarding the warehouse.
There was a huge disparity in numbers and strength, and the fight was over in less than two quarters of an hour.
Most of the dozen masked men were hacked to death, and the rest were all wounded and screaming.
The leader, Yan Chao, looked at Xin You who was walking over with a complicated look on his face.
There are just a few gangsters, and fifty or so Jinlin Guards are required to join them. Is that enough?
"Thank you for your hard work." In front of the gangster, Xin You did not directly call out Yan Chao's identity.
"How do you plan to deal with these people?" Yan Chao asked.
Xiaolian put a thick cloak on Xin You, and her lips turned white from the cold uttered a few words: "I will send you to the official tomorrow morning!"
Early the next morning, the capital was covered in snow, and the roads were covered with a thick layer of snow.
The side door of Qingsong Bookstore opened, and the bookstore guards headed by Captain Yang filed out, quickly attracting a lot of attention.
People watched as the two guards carried out a shelf one after another. The shelf was covered with cloth. It looked like a person was covered under the bulging cloth.
Then another rack was brought out, and then another...
"What's going on?" Since the weather started to get colder, people who have become more and more gossipy because of the lack of work are keenly aware that something is wrong.
"It looks like——" The man's eyes widened suddenly.
On a lifted shelf, a hand slipped out of the sheet.
"Oh my god, he's really human!" After a brief pause, the man shouted out.
The people watching the excitement were in an uproar.
Then, I saw several people in black being tied up and being pushed and dragged out by the guards.
"What happened?" Someone couldn't help their curiosity and dared to go over and ask.
Liu Zhou walked behind with Xin You, and when he heard the words, he said loudly: "I want the neighbors to know that these dozen gangsters broke into the bookstore at night last night and wanted to steal money. Fortunately, our bookstore security guards were strong and they killed nine of them and captured them alive." All five of them should be sent to the government now!"
As soon as these words came out, it became even more lively.
In the houses, alleys, and nooks and crannies, many people suddenly appeared like magic, and followed the people from Qingsong Bookstore to the government office.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" The people I met on the way asked and quickly joined the team.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, why don’t we prepare something new to talk about?
