He sighed again, and then said: "My boss is the second wife of General Zhou... As for me, I came to the Zhou family with General Zhou's original wife. General Zhou had been with that woman for four or five years, and he reconciled with her, and then I just married my boss."
"A few years ago, I just thought that my boss had used some means to force General Zhou to change his mind, so I complained a lot about her. But a few years later, I knew that my boss was really a good person, and I knew that General Zhou and that person were The reason why she was married and separated was because she had an affair with a servant. After General Zhou passed away, her boss did not remarry and took over all the family affairs... Alas, I am thin-skinned and feel guilty, but I never say anything. "
"Last year, when I found out that the man jumped into the well and committed suicide, I felt bad, but I also knew that I couldn't blame my boss. I was just too old-fashioned, and I couldn't help but carry a gun and a stick when I spoke... Mostly because I was angry with myself. It's shameless. If I stay here, I’m thinking that if I leave, it will be even more difficult for my boss—"
Li Bochen interrupted him: "That's it."
But Sun Que shed tears when he spoke and said: "General Li——"
Li Bochen sighed: "Mr. Sun, I know what you are going to say. I am also planning to do it - but there is one thing I need your help with."
Sun Que was stunned: "General, what kind of connections do you have? If you have any orders, just tell me. Money, errands, nothing else matters!"
Li Bochen smiled: "I don't need the money. It's just that I'm going to rob the prison tonight, so you have to go to the government office again."
Sun Que was stunned, and after a while he said: "Jie...prison?"
Li Bochen nodded: "Yes. So you have to sue me again."
…
…
The city's chiming clock rang four times. There was no one on the street, and the wind and snow continued. The sky was still covered with thick clouds and there was no moonlight. The streets were also dark, and it was almost impossible to see. Li Bochen was wrapped in a black cloak and lurked outside the prison wall in the night. He stood against the northwest corner and listened quietly.
The prison is also in the northwest corner of the government office, but it is relatively far away from the backyard where officials and their families live, across the treasury and miscellaneous courtyards. In a night like this, unless someone is shouting at the neck, any sound will be covered by the sound of wind and snow.
Li Bochen couldn't help but said in his heart: "Tiger, Emperor, thank you very much."
Then he touched his waist - six swords were inserted on both sides of his waist for easy extraction. He pressed the sleeve armor again - there were more than a dozen copper coins stuffed inside.
With his mind at peace, he circulated his true energy to slowly enter the state of concentration.
After three breaths, the sound of wind and snow suddenly became louder in my ears, and I could even hear the sound of snow flakes hitting the cloak. But gradually I heard human voices - coming from inside the wall.
According to his judgment, if the courtyard was to be fortified, it must be at the corner. The sentry was arranged so that it could monitor three directions without being attacked from behind. It seemed that the Zhangcheng Mansion Prison was also arranged in this way.
He held his breath again, and the human voice became clearer. First, one person yawned and said: "...I gave her a big mouth, saying what's wrong with having money? Isn't it just to dress well and eat well? If he wears well, won't he take it off at night? Eat well. , won’t he pull it?”
Another man laughed.
The man said again: "Aren't we just locking up four rich people here? So what, there is a lot of money, and there are a lot of things to do. These things have to be guarded. Widow Ye's family has a big business. Well, how did you get in? You asked the shopkeeper to tell you. That’s not all. What do you think happened when it was dark today? "
The other person seemed very sleepy, but forced himself to sleep and said, "Huh?"
"I heard that he came to the house again at that time. He said that he went to ask his man to go to the mountains to collect charcoal, and he saw the man named Li who was having an affair with Widow Ye——"
"Which one?"
"Tsk, he's the one who almost killed our young master - he said he saw him in the mountains, with several people following him. Good guy, he seems to be planning to rob the execution ground tomorrow. You said, if you have money, you can do this. What's the use? It's better for us to be safe like this."
Another person said: "Huh? Are you so brave? I was not on duty during the day - what happens next?"
The man said: "Then... I heard that the mansion seems to have transferred people from Wulongbao, and it seems that they have transferred Shenwei Cavalry. Our master has set up a trap tomorrow and is waiting for that person. From this look, that person also I'm looking for someone and want to go head-to-head. Tsk, let me tell you, being an official is a lot of trouble... The man named Li seems to be a high-ranking official in Wuliang City, right? He seems to be working for Mr. Che Bei. What's the result, Che Once Beigong falls, he won't be able to serve as a high official. Alas."
Another person said: "Oh, yes."
Then the two of them changed the subject and started talking about something else. Li Bochen took a breath and woke himself up. I don't know if it's because of his belief in Beichen, but he always has good luck when it comes to matters of life and death. This time, he heard what he wanted - Sun Que actually "sued" him as he was told.
But he was worried and turned to the northeast corner of the prison to listen. There are people guarding here, but they all seem to be asleep, snoring loudly. Then he turned to the southwest corner and listened to the people chatting there for two moments, which corroborated the previous statements of the two people.
Something can be done. Although he knew that the leader of the Kongming Society named Xu Cheng would definitely take action, he could no longer pray that things would be perfect. It was now 4:20 in the morning, we were exhausted, and there was no better opportunity. As for other situations, we can only adapt to circumstances.
He suddenly exerted his strength and turned over against the wall. When he jumped in the air, he saw the wooden roof of the sentry pavilion built next to the wall. At this time, the night was dark, and there was a thin light shining through the cracks in the wooden roof, so we knew that the wooden roof was not too thick. So with a burst of strength, he crashed directly from the top of the wooden roof with a thud.
The wind and snow suddenly poured into the sentry pavilion, and fragments of wooden beams and planks rained down even more. The two soldiers in the pavilion only said that the wind was too strong and their roofs were broken. Before they could raise their heads, they were kicked unconscious by Li Bochen. There was still a charcoal basin burning in the pavilion. He held it when he landed. He could only hear the howling of the wind and snow outside the pavilion, but there was no other sound.
Then he took out the prepared rope from his waist, tied the two men tightly, tore off their clothes, and stuffed them into their throats. The two kicks he kicked were so powerful that the two of them might not be able to wake up for several hours. But as they said, they were just serving as soldiers to eat and seek peace and security. At the moment, it was just their duty. Li Bochen did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
He walked out of the pavilion, observed briefly, and then went to the sentry pavilion in the other corner. There was an opening on the wooden door of the sentry pavilion, and two soldiers, probably afraid of the wind, were sitting in the pavilion. Li Bochen pushed the door open, and before the two people could say anything, he knocked them unconscious with two palms, then tied them up and stuffed them again.
In just a dozen minutes, he had cleared all the sentry posts.
