It wouldn't waste time to have a drink, Wu Song couldn't refuse, and it was even more joyful to have Lin Chong as his company.
The two senior fellow apprentices hadn't seen each other for a long time and seemed to have endless things to talk about. Later, Gao Kan became an idle person.
Time flies quickly during the gathering, and in a moment it becomes late.
Lin Chong wanted to get Wu Song to join his gang, so he took advantage of the opportunity and invited him to go back to the inn to rest together so that the two brothers could stay a little longer. Although Wu Song was hesitant, he couldn't bear the warm invitation, so he agreed.
When he returned to the inn, Gao Kan asked the innkeeper to arrange another room, but Lin Chong stopped him.
"Young master, you don't have to spend money. Junior brother and I can live in the same room. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We have to say goodbye in the future. I don't know when we will meet again. It would be nice if we could talk more."
Gao Kan heard the sound and asked Wu Song: "What do you think, Wu Song?"
"I don't dare to ask the young master to spend any more money. Let's just follow what my brother said." Wu Song said, cupping his fists.
"That's fine, it's getting late at that time, and Wu Yingxiong has to go on his way tomorrow, so I won't bother you too much. You guys should have a rest earlier." After the two of them, Gao Kan resigned and left.
The three of them went back to their houses to rest and did not make any further remarks.
In the middle of the night, everything is quiet and the night is dark, which makes people feel uneasy.
Gao Kan tossed and turned in the room, tossing about for half the night without falling asleep. He felt uncomfortable, so he simply got dressed and went outside to take a look.
As soon as I went out and went downstairs, I heard someone talking secretly downstairs in the backyard.
I was alert and silent, listening to what they said.
I heard someone whisper: "Of the two people who came in the morning, one was in Room No. 1 upstairs, and the other was in Room No. 1 Yellow. When they came back in the evening, there was another man who lived in the same room as the person in Room No. 1 Huang. between."
Gao Kan heard this familiar voice, it was the waiter of the inn.
After a while, another person said: "You are very knowledgeable. Please go out and guard the front and back doors. Don't let anyone escape."
"Yes, yes, I know." The inn waiter responded.
"Take these few taels of silver. They are rewards from high officials. Get lost." Another person said.
"Thank you, the great official, for your gift. I, the humble one, will resign."
While he was talking, he saw people moving downstairs, and the waiter of the inn retreated.
The other people downstairs did not go upstairs, but continued to talk: "You all heard clearly, the young master in room No. 1 with the ground sign is the master, so take him. One person in the room with the yellow sign is the guard of the young master. The other person doesn't know. I'm afraid it's the same. Good guy, go up there and be quiet, don't disturb me, wait until the waiter closes the front and back doors, then go upstairs."
"Yes." Two more people answered at the same time.
Gao Kan heard this upstairs and realized that this group of people were coming for him.
I had expected it in the afternoon, but I didn't expect these people to be so bold and commit the murder that night.
After thinking about it for a while, I happened to have an idea and hurriedly went back upstairs to Lin Chong's room.
When I reached the door and knocked on the door, I heard Lin Chong say from inside: "Who?"
"It's me, coach, open the door quickly."
Gao Kan didn't want Lin Chong to be so alert, so he hurriedly responded.
As soon as he heard that it was him, Lin Chong quickly came out to open the door, and he immediately stepped in.
When I entered the door, I saw Wu Song standing by. He cupped his hands and said, "Wu Xiongxiong, it's an emergency. I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
"Young Master's words are serious. My elder brother said before that he was afraid that someone would harm the Young Master tonight, so he specially asked to guard him. He didn't even sleep at all." Wu Song said.
After Gao Kan heard this, he realized that Lin Chong had always been worried about the cashmere shop looking for thieves to harm him, and he had already taken precautions.
When people downstairs were about to come up, he didn't have time to say anything, so he said straight away: "Just now I heard someone talking downstairs. I am afraid that the thief has bribed the waiter of the inn and wants to go upstairs to get me."
"What a bold thief!" Lin Chong said in shock.
Gao Kan added, "I don't know where this group of people came from. Please ask Coach Lin and Wu Yingxiong to take the trouble to take them down and ask."
"Okay!" The two of them responded at the same time.
Immediately Gao Kan said again: "Master Lin, please come to my room and pretend to be me. The martial hero will hide in the dark outside the door. When the thief comes in, he will attack from both front and back to catch the turtle in the urn!"
"And obey!"
The two agreed and immediately went out.
Gao Kan was waiting in Lin Chong's room for a cup of tea when he heard a noise coming from the next door outside. He heard two more muffled sounds while breathing, and then there was no movement.
Just when I was thinking about whether it was possible, I heard someone knocking on the door and saying, "Sir, it's all ready."
Hearing that it was Lin Chong's voice, Gao Kan quickly came out and opened the door.
He looked as if he had taken it easily just now, without any effort.
Gao Kan didn't ask any questions, and followed him to the next room, where he saw the three thieves. Two of them collapsed on the ground, unconscious, and one of them asked Wu Song to hold him, unable to move.
Gazing across this person, Gao Kan stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to die or live?"
This man looked at Gao Kan with an arrogant expression, as if he was unconvinced and did not respond, as if he was just letting him be dealt with.
When Gao Kan saw this, he didn't waste any words and said directly to Wu Song: "Wu Yingxiong, please ask him to suffer some hardships. It doesn't matter whether he deserves it or not. If anything happens, it's mine."
Wu Song nodded without saying a word and dragged the person to the inner room.
Gao Kan said to Lin Chong again: "Coach Lin, can you wake these two people up?"
"No trouble." Lin Chong said, taking the teapot from the table and spraying it on their faces.
After asking for cold water, the two of them immediately woke up and were about to speak.
Lin Chong had quick eyesight and quick hands. He held the blade of the knife in his hand straight to his neck and shouted in a cold voice: "If you dare to say anything, blood will be splashed on the spot!"
The two knew each other so well that they both dared not say a word and looked at Lin Chong with a look of fear on his face.
Gao Kan then stepped forward and said, "I won't ask you two questions first. I want you to watch a good show and then talk slowly."
After saying that, he went into the back room and took a look.
Then he saw that the man asked Wu Song to clean up, and only half a human figure was left, so he asked him to take the man out and throw him in front of the two of them.
When the two of them saw the miserable state of their companion, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale. However, they did not dare to speak even though the knife was on their necks.
Gao Kan waited until the two of them knew each other clearly before he spoke: "I will only ask once. Whoever answers will live. The one who is slow will die."
"Who sent you?"
"High official!" the two shouted in unison.
Hearing this, Gao Kan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you trying to make grandpa happy? A very high-ranking official?"
"It's Han Yaohan, a high-ranking official from Zhending Mansion!" one of them said hurriedly.
As soon as he said this, Gao Kan was even more puzzled: "Why did the high officials of Zhending Mansion come to Handan City to harm me?"
"The senior official didn't say anything. He only told me to ask the young master to go back. As for the reason, I don't know." Another person said hurriedly.
Gao Kan pondered for a moment and then asked, "Is the Han Daguan you are talking about the owner of the Yongsheng Sheep Shop in the east of the city?"
"I don't know, but I do come from Yongsheng Sheep Store." Someone said before.
The two of them didn't seem to be lying in their answers. Judging from their appearance, they were just idle rogues in Handan City. They didn't have much ability, and they just did some sneaky things on weekdays.
But in this case, the only thing left was to go there in person to meet this official Han from Zhending Mansion.
