Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 171
"Girl, it's snowing!" Xiao Lian reminded Xin You by pointing outside.

Xin You walked out of the door of the bookstore and looked up into the sky.

The sky was gray, and the snowflakes were falling profusely. She stretched out her hand to catch them, and they were thin snow particles.

This kind of light snow has fallen two or three times since the beginning of winter. If Captain Yang has an accident tonight, we will have to see if it will turn into heavy snow at night.

But it is obviously too late to arrange for people to set up an ambush when the time comes.

It is unknown how many gangsters there are, and Xin You didn't plan to take the risk of waiting any longer, so she arranged for someone to quietly deliver a letter to He Qingxiao.

If Mr. He's people came here for nothing and had money to make up for it, I believe those people would not have too much dissatisfaction.

He Qingxiao received a letter here, ordering Yan Chao to act.

Fifty Jinlin Guards put on casual clothes and walked into Qingsong Bookstore one after another disguised as book buyers, 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 study hall.

He Qingxiao walked in generously, without hiding his identity.This is the benefit of frequent customers, and others have already seen it.

"Thank you, Mr. He, for sending so many people to help." Xin You didn't need the money to hire someone to help. I'm afraid she couldn't invite too many people. Jin Linwei had 20 more people than expected, which made her feel more relaxed.

"Miss Kou, as long as there are too many people." With He Qingxiao's keenness, he could guess that Xin You would have something to say to the subordinates who came to help.

If it were someone else, they might think that he sent more people here to make a fortune, but luckily it was Miss Kou.

And there is no other reason for him to take the initiative to increase the manpower, he just hopes that her safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

It's a pity that Miss Kou only said to borrow from her subordinates...

"How could it be? With these people, I feel more at ease." Xin You thought it might not be tonight, and her tone changed, "If the criminals don't do it tonight, I will trouble Mr. He later."

He Qingxiao smiled: "There are few things in the yamen recently, it doesn't matter if Miss Kou borrows it a few times."

Having said that, he tentatively asked: "Do I need to come forward—"

Xin You declined with a smile: "With Mr. He's subordinates, I can handle it well, so I don't have to bother Mr. He."

He Qingxiao failed in the test and sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, it was rejected.

"Then I wish Miss Kou all the best." He Qingxiao raised the teacup with tea instead of wine.

Xinyou sent He Qingxiao to the door of the bookstore, watching the black figure disappear into the snowy twilight.

It was completely dark, and the people in the bookstore finally ended their busy work all day. After dinner, they almost fell asleep as soon as they touched their pillows. Only the guards on duty were left walking outside.

The lights of all the houses were turned off, and Xinyou stood in the dark, and by the light from the lanterns under the eaves not far away, she found that the snow that was falling one after another suddenly became bigger.

From snow particles to goose feather snow seems to be only a moment, and soon a layer of white fell on the roof and the ground.

Xinyou is [-]% sure that the incident will happen tonight.

She didn't wear much, and she didn't even wear a cloak for the convenience of her movements. She was wearing a black tights that blended perfectly with the night.

At this time, there must have been many people who merged into the night, some of whom she knew clearly, and some who came uninvited.

With calm eyes, Xin You searched 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 say how long we're going to wait, so why don't we come here to suffer from the cold?" a Jinlin guard complained in a low voice.

"Shh, there's movement!"

There was indeed movement.

Captain Yang is here.

In order to make a surprise inspection of those guards who were not paying attention when they were on duty, Captain Yang didn't even mention the lantern, and deliberately stepped lightly.

Xin You held her breath, watching Captain Yang suddenly stop, and without hesitation ejected the stone in his hand.

The cold light pierced the night sky, and the long knife was deflected when it was hit by a stone, making a crisp sound.

Captain Yang can be the leader of more than a hundred guards, and his skills are very good. He quickly dodges the sneak attack, and shouts while fighting with the knife-wielding man: "There are villains!"

The two guards guarding the warehouse looked at each other.

One of them was surprised when he heard Captain Yang's shout, and subconsciously looked for the warning gong.

The other person showed a ferocious face, and he drew a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed at his companion.There was a scream, but it wasn't his companion's, but his.

Yan Chao, who was standing nearby, put away his bow and crossbow, and rushed over with his knife in hand.

When Captain Yang yelled out, those gangsters who sneaked in rushed out, and the ambushing Jin Linwei rushed out afterward.

On one side were well-armed Jinlin Guards, a total of 50 people, on the other side were armed with knives, sticks, and the thief who guarded the storeroom was no more than a dozen people.

There is a huge disparity in the number of people and the disparity in strength, and the fight is over in less than a quarter of an hour.

More than a dozen masked men were hacked to death, and the rest were all wounded and screamed.

The leader, Yan Chao, looked at Xin You who was coming over with a complicated expression.

With just such a few gangsters, how about fifty or so Jinlin Guards going up together?

"Thank you." In front of the criminals, Xin You didn't directly call out Yan Chao's identity.

"How do you plan to deal with these people?" Yan Chao asked.

Xinyou asked Xiaolian to put on a thick cloak for her, and said a few words from her pale lips: "Send off to the official tomorrow morning!"

Early the next morning, the capital was covered with snow everywhere, and the road was covered with a thick layer of snow.

The side door of Qingsong Bookstore opened, and the guards of the bookstore headed by Captain Yang came out in a file, which quickly attracted a lot of attention.

People watched two guards lift up a shelf one after the other. The shelf was covered with a cloth, and it looked like a person was covered under the raised cloth.

Then another shelf came out, and then another...

"What's going on?" Since the cold weather, people who have become more gossip because of less work have been keenly aware that something is wrong.

"It looks like—" The man suddenly widened his eyes.

On a raised shelf, a hand slid out of a sheet.

"Oh my god, it's really a human!" After a short pause, the man shouted out.

The people who watched the excitement were in an uproar.

Then, a few people in black were tied up and pushed and dragged out by the guards.

"What happened?" Someone couldn't help being curious, and boldly approached and asked.

Liu Zhou walked behind with Xin You, and heard the words loudly: "So that the neighbors in the neighborhood know that these dozen gangsters broke into the bookstore last night and wanted to rob money. Fortunately, our bookstore has strong guards, killed nine people, and captured five alive. Now they are all sent to the government!"

As soon as this was said, it became even more lively.

In the house, in the alley, in the corner, a lot of people came out at once like a magic trick, and followed the people from Qingsong Bookstore and went to the government in a mighty way.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" The people I met halfway asked and quickly joined the team.

It's almost Chinese New Year, why don't you prepare something new to talk about?
