Chapter 263 Assassin
Before Lin Shuang got up to the third watch, there was a noisy sound outside.

Lin Shuangben was waiting for the time. During the day, she had already slept enough. Now even if she wanted to sleep, she couldn't sleep well, so she was awake at all. Now that she heard the noise outside, she couldn't help getting up and going out. door.

Standing on the steps at the door of the house, Lin Shuang could still see some distant scenes outside the small courtyard.

I saw bright lights outside, and people were running from time to time, holding torches as if they were searching for something.

Seeing such a situation, Lin Shuang's heart sank. Something must have happened outside. If this continues, can she still leave tonight?
No matter what happens next, she has to observe the situation outside, whether she can escape in the chaos or can only wait for the next opportunity.

Why is it so noisy outside, this matter has to start with Qingying who changed the time and location of the connector.

The nanny Zhang took the note to Qingying before, but she didn't expect to change the location before, and then changed the time.

Qingying felt that things might have changed, so she kept an eye out and didn't show up immediately when she went to the meeting.

Thanks to Qingying's caution, it turned out that the person who joined the joint wanted to rob Qingying's stolen things in private, but he didn't come alone. In order to achieve his goal, he lied to Madam Zhang that he had changed it for safety. Shi Chen, in fact, is to prevent the people who came with him from discovering.

By the time they agreed on the place and time before, Qingying has already given him the things, and he will definitely not show up again, and he will not be able to hand over the things. At that time, he only needs to deny it, and then deal with the nanny. , so nothing will go wrong.

However, that person probably never expected that Qingying had worked for his master for so many years, such a hasty change of time and place had never happened before, so Qingying became suspicious and hid in the dark to observe.

When she realized that the person came alone, Qingying felt that the person was not trustworthy, so she turned around and went back with her things.

The man waited and waited until Qingying came, so he went to Nanny Zhang's room to question him. Unexpectedly, after a few words of disagreement, Nanny Zhang also suddenly realized that something was wrong with him, so the man simply sent Nanny Zhang Immediately silenced.

A little girl in the same room as Mammy Zhang went to add candles to the young lady, and happened to see this scene when she came back, and ran out screaming.

There was a murder case here, and the man ran out when he saw that the situation was not good, but was found by the patrolling guards and thought it was an assassin.

Qing Ying, who also heard the movement, saw that the man was captured, worried that he would reveal the news, so he used a hidden weapon to finish him off.

The assassin who was just caught died, there must be an accomplice, and the patrolling guards began to search around.

Although Lin Shuang didn't know what was going on outside, he also knew that something serious must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't be so mobilizing in the middle of the night.

Just as he was thinking, a figure suddenly landed not far away, Lin Shuang looked back vigilantly, and saw that the figure was the masked woman from last night.

"You made the noise?" Lin Shuang was even more skeptical about the masked woman's identity at the moment, at least she would definitely not be a family member of the county magistrate, and who would be the one who could know about the back house.

Qingying didn't say much, and ran over quickly after seeing Lin Shuang: "Let me hide for a while, if someone comes later..."

Before the words were finished, footsteps could be heard at the door.

The courtyard was originally empty, but now Lin Shuang is just a prisoner. Naturally, it is impossible for someone to ask for her permission, so she just broke in.

Qingying didn't care about Lin Shuang's consent, so she just flashed into the house.

Seeing the other party enter the room quickly, Lin Shuang sighed: "Now they are considered to be on the same boat, so it's okay if I don't cover her up, otherwise she won't be able to tell if she finds out."

Repressing the expression on his face, Lin Shuang stood on tiptoe, looking out as if watching the excitement.

"You, come here." When the patrolling guards came in, they saw Lin Shuang who kept looking around. They also knew that there were two guards transferred from their side in the outer yard, who were specially guarding the woman inside.

Although I don't know who this woman is, she is still in custody and her status will not be high, so the guards are not polite and shouted at Lin Shuang.

"My lord, what's going on outside? It seems to be very lively in the middle of the night." Lin Shuang pretended to be very curious, and asked the guard who was questioning him cautiously.

"You didn't ask this. Is there anyone suspicious here?" The guard looked at Lin Shuang and asked impatiently.

"No, I'm the only one in this yard. I'm almost suffocated. No one comes here except to deliver food. It's hard to hear the excitement outside. I don't know what's going on." Lin Shuang said, as if it was a pity It's like I can't hear anything.

"All right, all right, stop talking nonsense, go and search." The guard signaled other people around to go into the house to look for it, but Lin Shuang didn't move.

She can't move, and if someone is found, she can still say that she has been looking around here, and she didn't find anyone going in at all. If she didn't find out, if she behaved nervously, it would arouse suspicion.

Seeing that Lin Shuang didn't move at all, the guard had already believed that no one was coming in this yard, so he just searched casually, and told Lin Shuang to call in time if there was any suspicious person, and then led them away.

After the group of people left, Lin Shuang made sure that the people outside had gone far away before entering the house.

Lighting the candle, Lin Shuang looked around, but found that there was no masked woman at all. Thinking that the woman was very skilled, she probably had escaped while they were talking, so Lin Shuang moved the candlestick to a place and sat down. down.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the beam: "They left?" Lin Shuang was startled.

Holding up the candlestick and looking up, I saw the masked woman's body wrapped around the beam, if you don't look closely, you won't notice it.

"It's gone far away." Lin Shuang replied softly, it would be bad if he shouted loudly at this time to lure someone back.

Qing Ying jumped down from under the beam and looked at Lin Shuang. She didn't expect that this woman was a clever woman. If she hadn't been calm just now, I'm afraid this place wouldn't have just been searched so hastily.

"Thank you, I owe you two favors, but tonight probably isn't a good time to escape, and if I find another chance, I will definitely help you out." Qingying took this matter squarely this time. By the way, this time she really agreed to Lin Shuang.

"Understood, you should leave first. If those people don't find them and come back, I'm afraid they won't be checked so easily."

"So, thank you very much!" Qing Ying cupped her hands towards Lin Shuanggong, went out from the hut, jumped onto the roof, and quickly disappeared into the night.
