Chapter 654 The Dark Warehouse

Just as Mu Cheng and Li Yiru were about to nod their heads, Bo Ling suddenly seemed to remember something, and his foot speed also slowed down, "Wait..."

"...What did you think of?"

"I think we can go to that escort agency tonight." Bo Ling said softly.

"What are you doing at the Escort?"

"Take a break and hide from the search." Bo Ling replied, "The escort agency tonight should be the safest place."

……

When the three arrived at the "Yongping Escort", the neighborhood remained quiet.

It's just that the wind suddenly blew up in the middle of the night, and the originally clear night sky suddenly looked like it was about to rain again.

The door of the escort agency was closed tightly, but there were night guards everywhere in the courtyard.

Mu Cheng was obviously an old man, he was at the front of the team and controlled the rhythm of the three of them marching, Li Yiru followed in the middle panting, and Bo Ling was in charge of the rear.

After entering the gate here, Mu Chengcheng quickly understood why Bo Ling wanted to come here—because this escort agency is really rich, with a courtyard with two entrances in front, and a wall connected to a simple courtyard in the back. In the courtyard, there are no bricks on the ground, it is all trampled loess.

There are dozens of large tents in this area of ​​warehouses, all of which are not lit, only the stone house at the entrance of the yard is lit with candles.

But in the aisles outside the tents, blazing torches lit up the entire warehouse, and in these aisles, there were several young people on duty in each row.

They leaned on their seats bored, lowered their voices and chatted about some nasty jokes. Once they laughed loudly, curses would come from the stone house, ordering these young people to stand guard.

It seems that this is the temporary warehouse of the Escort.

The three of them hid in the shadow of a concave corner, observing the night watchman's patrol pattern.

Li Yiru followed Mu Cheng all the time, he looked at the cloudy sky where the moon could no longer be seen, "Brother Mu... When will we go there?"

"Hush." ​​Mu Cheng said softly, "Don't talk."

Mu Cheng looked ahead vigilantly, and after a while, he led the two people behind him around in circles, making a detour at a very ingenious angle to avoid the gaze of the night watchman, and finally ran quickly into the southwestern corner. In a tent on the edge.

The tent was pitch black and filled with sandbags. Several people groped their way to the side away from the entrance, and then sat down with relief.

It finally started to rain outside, and the raindrops hit the tent, making a pattering sound.

After walking a few steps, Bo Ling found what seemed to be a hollow wooden frame under his feet, making a slight sound with every step.

"It's so exciting!" Li Yiru shouted in a low voice, and the sound of him sitting down suddenly came from the darkness.

The other two also sat down slowly, and Mu Cheng looked towards Bai Ling's side in the darkness, "Why do you say this is the safest place?"

Bai Ling laughed a few times, "If I say I guessed it, will Brother Mu beat me?"

Mu Cheng snorted, "This isn't funny...what's the reason?"

"The man with the scar at night is the bodyguard here." Bo Ling said softly, "Although I don't know what they want to arrest, but it must be inseparable from the Huizhou branch of the Yongping Bodyguard Bureau."

"That fat man said just now that I was the remnant of the Qingpao bandits." Li Yiru whispered, "Really...the Qingpao bandits were wiped out by the emperor a few years ago?"

"The Qingpao Bandit and Jian'ange are connected together. He said you are the remnant of the Qingpao Bandit, which means you are against the party." Bai Ling said softly, "The kind that will plot rebellion."

Li Yiru shivered.

He was stunned for a while, "Then we ran away like this, didn't he—"

"That's why we tied up the fat man and sent him to the city gate," Bai Ling said softly, "Generally, the city defense of the state capital and the local yamen are parallel, and there is no clear jurisdictional relationship between them.

"If the city defense wants to investigate the ins and outs of the incident, it is impossible to bypass the inn," Bo Ling continued, "Now there may be a bunch of strong men who are fascinated in the inn...they can't cover it even if they want to."

The more Mu Cheng listened, the colder his back felt, and he was about to ask a question when Bai Ling continued.

"If Fatty wants to get rid of the crime, most of the things that happened in the inn will be blamed on the three of us. Now it's late at night, and he has to notify the Shangguan, and he has to treat the newly recruited soldiers... It's enough for them to be busy." It's been a while."

"Let's go back to that fat man. If he wants to protect himself, he must try his best to keep it here. Because since the government's recruitment of assisted soldiers has something to do with the Yongping Escort, no matter what kind of deal they have made between them, they can't get rid of food and grass. They are doing things for profit, but once they are discovered, they will be killed."

Bo Ling snapped his fingers very lightly, "So I think the Escort is the safest place tonight, not necessarily after tomorrow."

Li Yiru scratched his head thoughtfully.

On the side, Mu Cheng put his arms around his arms, "What about after daybreak? By then, he has already finished his lies, and if we want to arrest us all over the city, what are you going to do?"

"Let him lie, it's not so easy to lie." Bo Ling stretched, "Let's get a good night's sleep first, and think about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."

A heavy sigh came from Mu Cheng.

It is true that this kind of speculation has some truth, but it is not 100% safe-if the fat government servant reveals too much and directly leads to the revelation of the matter, then other officials will be the first to chase here.

"It can only be like this, there are still more than two hours before dawn." Mu Cheng whispered, "Let's take turns to watch the night, I will come first."

"Well, good." Li Yiru and Bo Ling responded at the same time.

Several people each adjusted the thick sacks behind them, pushed and pulled them out of a certain oblique angle, and then leaned on them lightly.

In the darkness, Li Yiru suddenly heard a slight metal collision, the sound was very crisp, and Bo Ling looked at the source of the sound, "What sound?"

"Ah, I'll count the money first." Li Yiru replied softly, "You guys sleep first."

"Gold leaf?" Bo Ling asked.

"How do you know?" Li Yiru was a little surprised, and then a little surprised, "Can you also distinguish things by listening?"

"No." Bai Ling shook her head. She was about to explain the reason when she heard Li Yiru say "Huh".

"Why is one piece missing... I lost money?" Li Yiru murmured, and then became a little helpless, "I'm so careful, how can someone steal my money?"

"Money is something outside of the body, if you lose it, you can lose it." Mu Cheng whispered, "I don't think you are like someone who is short of money, go to sleep."

Li Yiru scratched his head in the darkness.

"Are these gold leaves precious?" Burling asked.

"No, it's just ordinary rough gold, nothing precious..." Li Yiru whispered.

This sentence made Mu Cheng's eyelids twitch slightly.

"...It's a pity, I used these gold leaves for self-defense," Li Yiru sighed, "One piece is less than one piece."

Bo Ling was a little surprised, "How does Gold Leaf defend itself?"

"Listen." Li Yiru said softly.

There was a slight cutting sound in the darkness, and then there was a crash. Many fine particles fell out of the thick sack, and they also rolled to Bo Ling's feet. She stretched out her hand and squeezed it, feeling that it was unpeeled rice. .

——The gold leaf in Li Yiru's hand tore through the thick sack in an instant.
