Zhao Tai had been an official for many years and had an extraordinary background. He had never seen anything like this, bloody, murderous, and wailing.
On a snowy night, red blood splattered on the snow.
Wang Hai knelt on one knee, his calm eyes seemed to see all the truth in the world, and his two slightly rough palms were so steady.
Zhao Laosi also stared at Wang Hai. At this moment, he was extremely sure that this guy was definitely not an ordinary servant. Whose servant was so cruel?
You must know that Zhao Tai had been scolding him for a quarter of an hour just now. The leading soldier looked so innocent, but it turned out that this guy knew about it.
Wang Hai clenched the dagger: "How long."
"No... less than an hour."
"Received money?"
"Zhao...Zhao Jianzheng, weapons supervisor Zhao Jianzheng."
"Where on the west side."
"I'm humble...I don't know, I really don't know. It's a carriage, a carriage with the word "Zhao" written on it. Haiye...Haiye, please spare my life."
Wang Hai stood up, drew out his short sword, and blood spurted out. The soldier fell to the ground, trembling in pain.
Looking to the west, Wang Hai flicked the blood on the short knife and inserted it into his lower back.
Zhao Tai couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Little beast... little strong man, take on... what should I do next?"
"Master Zhao is waiting in the mansion, and I will go and bring the eldest lady back."
After finishing his words, Wang Hai got on his horse and galloped towards the west.
How could Zhao Tai go back to his house and wait with peace of mind? He didn't care whether he could catch up or not, so he led a group of people out of Tailongfang.
Fortunately, Wang Hai did not gallop for too long. After leaving Tailongfang and arriving at Jingzhao Mansion, he got off his horse and knelt down on one knee, seemingly observing something.
Zhao Tai and more than a dozen people ran over panting. Just as he was about to ask something, Wang Hai stood up and shouted to a group of Beijing guards who happened to be patrolling in the distance: "Here comes someone!"
Thirteen Beijing guards wearing armor ran over. Before he could speak, Wang Hai said: "I am the captain of the Yidao Guard. An hour ago, I heard someone sneaking around outside the palace. It seemed that there was someone with bad intentions. Before he could wait, We tracked him down and escaped in a carriage. Two of them were wearing black clothes. The carriage was marked with the word "Zhao". In order to escape, we also tied up a woman, a beloved relative of a certain lord."
A group of Beijing guards were dumbfounded. Wang Hai whispered: "I don't know if those two people have any accomplices, let alone whether they have treasonous intentions. I only know that they are extremely sneaky when they wander outside the palace. If they can't find these two people, our captain will The lives of the soldiers on the West City night watch, the Jing Guards, and others are also at risk tonight. We need to disperse and look for all the night watchmen. I will wait here for news from you."
Jingwei didn't say anything, and the soldiers ran away.
Zhao Laosi's face was full of astonishment: "You...you are...this is...you are not..."
Wang Hai looked at the vast white snow: "The villain said, I just heard that someone was sneaking around outside the palace, I didn't see it with my own eyes. The villain didn't say that they were traitors or had treasonous intentions. I was just investigating."
Zhao Laosi was speechless. Really, what Wang Hai said was "hear" and "if" something happens. He never used any affirmative sentences from the beginning to the end. Unless something happened, everyone's head would be in danger. This sentence was an affirmative sentence. .
Zhao Tai also had a complex look on his face. He found that the so-called housekeepers, stewards, and guardians in his house were nothing compared to Wang Hai. They could only talk nonsense and have no effect at all.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wang Hai suddenly ran out and caught up with the Jingwei Xiaoqi.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The team leader Xiaoqi didn't understand why, so Wang Hai repeated it again: "Shoot the arrow and call everyone back!"
Xiaoqi had no choice but to shoot a loud arrow into the air.
The arrow sounded as a signal, and the eleven Jingwei who ran away not far away came back one after another.
Wang Hai's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and no one knew what he meant.
When the last Jingwei came over, Wang Hai drew his knife again, kicked the opponent over, knelt down on one knee, and put the short knife on the opponent's throat.
The Jingwei was so frightened that he felt the bone-chilling chill on his neck and turned pale.
Wang Hai said coldly: "Where is the person?"
"Sir, you... you... are so humble, I don't know you..."
"A team of thirteen people patrolling the capital at night. Excluding the small flag, there are two people in a team, a total of six teams. You are the only one..."
Wang Hai pointed to a Beijing guard next to him: "Only you and him ran back alone. He was in front and you were behind. He ran back with a torch, but you didn't light the torch and ran back from the dark alley. Reply, you want to report the news."
"me…"
Wang Hai turned to look at Jing Wei next to him: "Why did he separate from you?"
Jingwei stumbled and said, "He said... He said he had abdominal pain and wanted to go to the hut."
With a "Gaba" sound, one of Jingwei's fingers was broken off on the ground.
"Speak when you want to say something, and I'll stop."
After finishing speaking, Wang Hai broke off one of Jing Wei's fingers.
Zhao Tai and others did not dare to take a breath, and looked at Wang Hai with extremely complicated eyes.
"Gaba"
"Gaba"
"Gaba"
It wasn't until all five fingers on Kyowei's left hand were broken that he finally spoke.
"Fan Guan...the houses outside Fan Guan...the red courtyard, the red courtyard, the three lanes, the three lanes...Junye Rao..."
With a "bang" sound, Wang Hai punched the opponent's temple, and Jing Wei fainted.
Standing up, Wang Hai said coldly: "Take off your boots, everyone is like this."
Xiaoqi didn't know why: "Master Jun, what are you..."
"Take off your boots, draw your knife, and follow me."
After finishing speaking, Wang Hai took off his boots first.
Zhao Laosi's face was full of admiration: "How did Mr. Wang know that this man is an accomplice of the thieves?"
"Due to the illness of the horse in Fanguan, and because most of the Fan people lived here, the Jingwei and the soldiers were unwilling to patrol here. Halfway through the period, only one team of Jingwei and one team of soldiers were patrolling, and the two Jingwei A group of people, doing perfunctory work after dark, and according to their habits, one of them will be lazy and find a warm place to take a nap, while the other person patrols alone."
Xiaoqi and the Jingwei were all blushing. What Wang Hai said was true.
A group of young soldiers took off their boots, drew out their knives, and stepped on the cold snow to look at Wang Hai.
"Separate six people to protect them. The other six people are on the back side. Follow me and land lightly. The slightest sound will alert the thieves."
Everyone suddenly realized that they took off their boots so that they would not make any noise when stepping on the snow.
Zhao Laosi also started to slip on his shoes, and also whispered to other Zhao family servants to take off their shoes.
Zhao Tai was extremely nervous: "Wang Zhuangshi is sure those thieves..."
As soon as he took off his shoes, Zhao Laosi blocked Zhao Tai's mouth and cursed in a low voice: "Shut up, don't distract Wang Zhuangshi."
In this way, more than 20 people tiptoed into the alley like thieves, and soon found the courtyard Jingwei mentioned.
Wang Hai slowly took out the short knife from his waist, and then took the long knife in Xiao Qi's hand, one long, one short, one left and one right.
"I will go in first to explore the truth. Remember, if it is not me and a woman who come out, you will all attack together. No matter who it is, kill them."
Xiaoqi said nervously: "But this is a residential building, if there is any mistake..."
Wang Hai pointed to the courtyard: "Have you ever seen the light of fire?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Wang Hai said in a low voice: "At night, it is extremely cold. All those who live here are merchants, court officials, or officials' outer rooms. There are no common people. There is no fire in the house because no charcoal is lit. Only the common people after dark Not willing to light charcoal to keep warm, while others wait and don’t care about money.”
Everyone couldn't help but look at other courtyards. As Wang Hai said, every courtyard had a faint firelight. Only here, it was quiet and nothing could be seen, not even a trace of firelight.
Zhao Laosi looked confused: "Wang Zhuangshi, who are you?"
Wang Hai obviously didn't understand what Zhao Laosi meant, and replied softly: "I was just a scout for Zhe Chong Mansion."
After saying that, he climbed over the wall like an agile civet cat and entered without making any sound.
