Yan Cigui.

Chapter 82

A group of people arrived at Liuguo Hutong.

The yamen servants surrounding the house hurried forward and saluted with everyone.

Shan Shen waved his hand.

On a rainy day, he was impatient with these empty rituals, and just wanted to understand the situation quickly.

Knowing his character, the yamen servant said, "The carriage came back again, and people entered the house. At that time, they didn't dare to get too close, but it is estimated that only one person got off, and then the carriage left again."

"We haven't come out since then, and we didn't startle the snake."

"Sir, are you knocking now?"

Shan Shen nodded: "Knock."

Amidst the sound of rain, the door panel was knocked loudly.

In the yard, Zhu Cheng was awakened.

After Li Yuanfa's death, he panicked until night, transported him out and threw him away as agreed.

I just came back not long ago, changed my wet clothes, took a hot bath, smelled soothing spices, and took a nap for a while, but before I could sleep well, I was woken up by the movement outside.

He sat up straight and pushed Mrs. Wang who was sleeping soundly next to him: "What time is it? How can I hear someone knocking on the door?"

Mrs. Wang said vaguely: "It's not even dawn yet, who is knocking on the door at this time? The master must have something in mind so he heard it wrong, go to sleep soon..."

Zhu Cheng sounded reasonable, and was about to lie down as promised, when he heard a knock on the door again.

This time, it was loud and loud, coming through the sound of rain.

Mrs. Wang heard it too, and got up in a hurry.

"Tell me, who will it be at this time?" Zhu Cheng felt guilty.

Mrs. Wang frowned, and said: "When the master threw him into the alley, someone found out? That alley is very remote, and it's a heavy rainy night, and no one who beats the watch will go there! Could it be that the master was early in the morning Being followed?"

"How is it possible?" Zhu Cheng shook his head again and again, "Could it be that Li Yuanfa..."

"Mom opened the door to look at it earlier, didn't she not look at anyone?"

In the room, the two whispered.

Outside the house, the woman asked through the window: "Lady, master, can we open the door? They said it belongs to Shuntian Mansion, if they don't open the door, they will climb over the wall and come in."

Hearing the word "Shun Tian Fu", Zhu Cheng's face, which was not bloody at first, looked more and more like it had been smeared with white and pulp.

"It's Li Yuanfa!" Mrs. Wang came to her senses, "I said why the yamen let Li Yuanfa out, he must have voted for the government.

He came to play on the master's words, as long as the master pleads guilty, he can save his trouble...

It's not a thing! "

Zhu Cheng gasped: "What should I do now? Did I just get caught by the yamen? I didn't mean to harm Li Yuanfa, it's his own bad luck..."

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes: "I'm going to stabilize the official, the master takes this opportunity..."

The two briefly agreed on a few words.

The mother-in-law got the order and went back to the gate first.

Through the door, she heard someone giving orders.

"After knocking for so long, the pigs have woken up!" Shan Shen scolded, "Come on, if you are skilled, you can jump over the wall and go in. Wait, when will you go?"

"Hey, wait a minute, gentlemen," the old woman called out loudly, "Our lady is awake, and wait for her to change into the clothes she used to see outsiders. After she is done, I will open the door."

The yamen servant in charge heard this and turned to look at Shan Shen.

Shan Shen frowned and looked at Xu Jian.

Xu Jian was holding an umbrella, which was not raised high enough to cover most of her face.

Shan Shen couldn't see Xu Jian's expression, so he couldn't judge what the other party was thinking about for a moment, but the next moment, he saw the edge of the umbrella lifted up.

Xu Jian's facial features were exposed, but his expression was still very pale, and all his emotions were hidden in those dark eyes.

And his line of sight also moved up a little bit with the movement of his umbrella...

Shan Shen took a breath and followed Xu Jian's gaze.

The eaves on the courtyard wall, the tall tree branches, the dark rainy day...

On the other hand, forgive him for his stupid eyesight, he hasn't seen the clue for the time being.

"You..." He thought about asking.

Xu Jian asked: "Lord Shan, the yamen servants guarding the back wall haven't withdrawn yet?"

Shan Shen slapped his head and came to his senses, stamping his feet hastily to urge: "Hurry up, hurry up, a few more people, don't leak all the walls behind the left and right!"

At the back wall, Zhu Cheng tremblingly climbed up the wall along the ladder.

Rainy days are slippery, so it's not easier to move than when the weather is sunny, but he is still panicking, his legs are shaking like playing a lute.

After climbing over the wall with great difficulty, the ladder was taken away by Mrs. Wang before she could sit still.

Mrs. Wang didn't dare to shout loudly, she raised her head high, and the rain poured into her mouth: "Jump, master, jump faster!"

Zhu Cheng didn't dare to jump.

The courtyard wall seemed not high enough in the past, but it felt too high to sit on it.

It was so dark that he couldn't even see where he was staying.

After hesitating and hesitating, suddenly, several lights surrounded him from left and right.

It was the light of a lantern, hit by the rain, very unclear, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, getting closer and closer.

Zhu Cheng was terrified when he saw it, he closed his eyes and jumped down, regardless of whether he was tall or not.

"Ouch—"

Shan Shen took the lantern and rushed to the front.

Seeing a black shadow falling from the wall, he knew that he had been targeted by Duke Fuguo, and the people in the yard wanted to climb over the wall and escape.

Leaning closer, Shan Shen pressed the wet lantern tightly to the man's face, and clicked his tongue heavily.

This guy is not good at skills!

Looking at this posture, it didn't count that a dog gnawed on the mud, and he rolled on the ground.

Shan Shen identified the man's muddy face, but he really couldn't see the appearance, so he simply took out a handkerchief and wiped the man's face vigorously.

With this rubbing, he finally showed his true colors.

Shan Shen was surprised, but not so surprised: "Master Zhu Si?"

Zhu Cheng fell hard, his whole body was in pain, surrounded by officials, knowing that he couldn't escape, he pulled the corner of his mouth and showed an awkward and ugly smile: "Since you know me, send me back to the mansion quickly , I fell and hurt myself."

Shan Shen chuckled, and directly asked someone to carry Zhu Cheng back to the house.

He is not stupid.

It's really surprising that Zhu Cheng was sent back to the British government to handle the case and interrogate him.

Through the wall, Mrs. Wang could hear the situation outside clearly.

After scolding "useless things" in her heart, she began to think about ways to get out.

Before she could set up the ladder again, footsteps came from behind her.

She turned her head abruptly.

The person came holding a big umbrella and walked unhurriedly. His shoes were wet by the rain, but he didn't notice it, and his posture was still upright.

"Who are you? How did you get in?" she asked.

"Fly separately in the face of disaster?" Xu Jian chuckled, "That's right, you were not a serious couple."

Mrs. Wang sneered: "A serious couple won't fly anymore?"

"Fly, Zhu Cheng is sure to fly, his wife is still lying on the hospital bed," Xu Jian said, "It's the best of humanity for you to stop someone for him so that he can escape.

That is to say, Zhu Cheng didn't live up to his expectations and was caught without hesitation, otherwise, you would have to climb over the wall wherever you need it.

I came here to tell you, don't think that once Zhu Cheng is caught, the guards behind will withdraw.

There are still people watching outside, and it is also a result of you digging out.

Save your energy and talk back and forth. "
