As night fell, Peng Qi and the prince came to the yamen of the third guard of the prince. At this time, the black hand was ready to go. Who would have thought that the secret black hand organization was blatantly in the yamen of the third guard of the prince?

Bringing imperial equipment is an important backbone of the Black Hand. They are skilled and bold, and they also have masters from all walks of life. Zhao Zhen hired many skilled craftsmen from the General Supervisor to the Ordnance Department. They are responsible for developing equipment specifically for the Black Hand. In this

The craftsmen of the Ordnance Department were greatly moved that the status of craftsmen could be raised to such an extent by the times.

They are all craftsmen. They have no land or shops. They can only rely on the skills passed down from their ancestors to make a living. However, they are ranked second from the bottom among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but in the Ordnance Department, they have found their belonging, the Prince

Not only had everything been arranged for them, but the problems of their family members were also solved. Their family members lived in the dormitory under the back mountain of the East Palace. They only had to clean the East Palace and the back mountain every day. They would also receive regular money every month and more.

What is touching is that the prince often comes to comfort them!

The craftsmen could not find any way to repay His Highness the Crown Prince other than working hard.

The people with royal equipment hate these petty thieves very much. In their opinion, these thieves should be exiled to the frontier to see what else they can steal!

Zhao Zhen kicked Peng Qi: "What's that look in your face? Even though they are snitches, they have skills that you don't have! Have you forgotten that a ruler is long and an inch is short?"

"What kind of skills do snitches have? They are just gangsters who climb over walls, sneak through doors, and pick locks. If they are not sent to guard the city, their lives will be saved!"

"What Commander Peng said is that the villain only knows some shady tricks, how can he help His Highness the Crown Prince! Otherwise, His Highness, let the villain go?" Shusan bowed to Peng Qiyi and then turned to Zhao Zhen.

Plea.

"Oh! I understand, you want to do labor! Oops! It seems that Guhui has made a mistake. How about this? You go to the city outside Tokyo to serve every day, carrying stones, transporting sand..."

"Don't dare disobey His Highness's orders! Shu San will do whatever His Highness tells Shu San to do!"

Peng Qi snorted disdainfully. This boy's eyebrows and rat-eyes really deserved his name. He immediately became soft when he heard that he was going to work as a coolie. He was really a guy who shrunk his eggs.

"Peng Qi, Shu San, Dali, the three of you must cooperate well tonight. If there is anything wrong, Chi Gu will let you go to the school to write big characters!"

As soon as Zhao Zhen's words came out, not only Shu San trembled, but also Peng Qi and Dali, who were armed with imperial weapons, also trembled like chaff. As warriors, what they feared most was writing with a pen, which could be done with a horse weighing more than ten kilograms.

It can be waved easily in the hand, but the brush weighing several ounces is as heavy as a thousand pounds!

Peng Qi saw Shu San shaking and asked strangely: "How can you, a thief who sneaks in and picks the lock, be afraid of writing?"

Shu San said with a grimace: "I just became a snitch because I didn't want to read or write!"

Peng Qi didn't believe it: "You're saying it's easy, but you don't want to read and write? This is a blessing that ordinary people crave, but you still choose it? What does your family do?"

"My father is the accountant..."

Peng Qihe Dali looked at each other and said sympathetically: "No wonder!" In this era, being a bookkeeper is still a very good profession. It does not require labor and can teach his son to write and read. It can be regarded as semi-humanistic.

The number of gangsters is far more than that, but tonight the fewer people there are, the better. No one knows more about theft than Zhao Zhen. Museums that are closely guarded in later generations can come and go freely, let alone those who have just been cooked by fire.

Prince Rong's Mansion? Zhao Zhen and others took every precaution to attack him unprepared. Zhao Yuanyan did not know that the matter of the imperial seal had been leaked.

Zhao Heng prepared night clothes for everyone. This was a handiwork from the Ordnance Department. The dark clothes can make people blend into the vast night at night. Night clothes are really important in this era, at night when the lighting environment is poor.

It is really not easy to see people. The visibility range of torches and lanterns is also very low, especially in a wealthy family like Prince Rong's Mansion.

It’s no wonder that a thief like Shu San can enter and exit a wealthy family’s house as if he’s in a deserted place. He’s a short man dressed in night clothes and he can just walk into any bush without seeing any ghosts!

"Your Highness, please stop interfering in this matter. We will ensure that we can get the things back!" Shu San said worriedly as he looked at the prince who was still a child.

"I'll go~ What do you mean?!" Zhao Zhen glanced at Shu San, it was really rare for this kid to actually care about people.

"I'm afraid your slow movements will be discovered!"

"Go away! You don't have me to lead the way. Do you know where they hide their things?"

The grappling hook crossed the wall and was firmly hooked. Shu San climbed up along the rope as quickly as a spiritual ape. Peng Qi and Dali joined hands. Zhao Zhen sprinted and stepped on their hands, and jumped up to grab them with the help of his strength.

The top of the wall, three meters high, was like walking on flat ground to him.

With the help of Dali, Peng Qi quickly climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard. Dali was left behind to take care of him in case of emergencies. These were all planned by Zhao Zhen in advance.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Prince had already touched the back garden. They entered from the burned place in the north. The trees here were still charred and no one came. They walked around the charred dead branches and Zhao Zhen looked at them warily.

Looking around, he lowered his body and opened the Imperial Encyclopedia in his mind. The terrain of Prince Rong's Mansion was clearly visible in front of him, and he quickly moved towards the rockery.

Peng Qi and Shu San looked at each other in surprise. How come His Highness the Crown Prince knew so much about the situation in Prince Rong's Mansion? I'm afraid even the servants in the Prince's Mansion would have a hard time finding their way accurately in this garden that was burned into ruins, right?

Following Zhao Zhen closely, Peng Qi and Shu San discovered that the Crown Prince seemed not only very familiar with this place, but what was even more surprising was His Highness's movements. Every move seemed to flow smoothly, and he accurately avoided the gravel and dead trees on the ground.

The sound of the landing was almost inaudible. This is almost impossible for martial arts practitioners like Peng Qi and Shu San. Ear strength is the basic skill of martial arts!

The two felt that it was Zhao Zhen who led them more than they brought the prince to steal things. Zhao Zhen could accurately avoid the people in the palace along the way and quietly passed through the patrol to the edge of the rockery.

"Your Highness, it's a pity that you don't want to be a snitch! You were born to do this!"

Shu San, who entered the rockery cave, said to Zhao Zhen in admiration, but Peng Qi beside him gave him a shudder without saying a word: "Do you want to die? How can His Highness be a real dragon and do this kind of sliding door lock picking?

matter……"

Zhao Zhen interrupted the two of them with a wave of his hand and turned to Shu San: "See how to open this key lock."

Zhao Zhen really wanted to unlock the lock himself, but as a later generation, he had never seen any ancient locks and had no research on it at all. He could only find the types and information of locks from the Imperial Encyclopedia, but as for the method of unlocking

The encyclopedia shows that you use a key. This is nonsense. Everyone knows that you need a key to open a lock and you need it to prompt?!

Shu San ran over and looked at the keyhole carefully: "Your Highness is so knowledgeable that he even knows the key lock. This kind of lock is extremely rare. I didn't expect it to be found in Prince Rong's Mansion!"

Peng Qi sneered and said, "Open the lock if I ask you to. Can you hurry up?"

"Don't rush him. It's rare to see this kind of thing. It's good to be able to recognize it. Can you open Shusan?"

Zhao Zhen asked Shu San worriedly. It was recorded in the Imperial Encyclopedia that this kind of lock is difficult to crack. Only three people have opened it since its invention. This lock was invented by the descendants of Lu Ban and has the same purpose as the Lu Ban Lock.

Shu San sighed slightly and said bitterly: "Opening locks is my strong point, but this kind of lock is very weird. Even if the baffle is removed, the key cannot be inserted. I don't know how its structure can be broken!"
