Chapter 316: Snake and Mouse
Zheng Su's death brought a sad atmosphere to the general's palace. The day when white flags and white lanterns were hung in front of the palace gate, it was announced that a veteran who had served the country his whole life had passed away. In the mourning hall
The coffin placed above and the lonely memorial tablet are saying their final goodbyes to everyone.
However, under such circumstances, there are people who are waiting for the opportunity to act like snakes and rats.
Zheng Su's study was always locked, and everyone in the house was busy with Bai Xiao. They couldn't take care of the things in the backyard for the time being, so they naturally neglected the safety management of the house. It was at this time that something strange happened.
, exposing the tail of the snake and rat.
Although Ji Bo'an and the others were in the front hall to express condolences to the Zheng family, they asked Han Si to guard the door of Zheng Su's study early so that they could see if anyone would really come to the secret place of the study to steal information. Han Si hid.
The place is a blind corner in front of the corridor. It cannot be seen from the outside, but you can clearly see the outside from here.
Before he could wait for two or three hours, he saw someone sneaking towards the study area. The man was wearing a sapphire blue servant's uniform, although it was no different from the one in Zheng Su's house.
There are two differences, but the expression on his face is different from that of the others, and with the pair of eyes that have been looking around like a rat thief, you can tell that someone from outside has definitely sneaked in.
The housekeeper had locked the door before, so the man secretly looked at the door of the study and realized that the door was impassable. Then he looked at the window next to it and walked in. Han
Si had already been told by Fei Bing'an earlier not to make any noise when someone showed up. He only waited to follow him when he came out to see what the regulations were and then make a decision. Therefore, he did not make any rash move.
After about a stick of incense had passed, the man came out of the window again and saw that he was holding a box-like object covered with black cloth in his arms. He looked around before sneaking along.
Go towards the darkness of the corridor.
At this time, Han Si disappeared and followed the man in the direction to see what the regulations were.
The man walked straight ahead, taking advantage of the fact that the whole government was busy, and headed straight for the small gate on the north side. However, several guards guarding the small gate stopped him on the spot.
The person guarding the door looked a little unfamiliar when he saw the man in servant's uniform, so he stopped him and said, "Who are you? Why did you leave the house? What are you holding in your hands?"
The man didn't expect it to be easy when he came in. Since there were still people guarding such a remote door, he felt a little trembling in his heart, but after all, people who can do these things are not simple characters. He calmed down and lowered his head.
He replied: "I am a relative from my hometown who has defected to the general for the past two years. I have been following him outside. The general has previously told me that if I return to the west, I will take the contents of this box back to my hometown and not be buried in the land of my ancestors."
Bringing these clothes and other belongings back is a sign of returning home."
Although this sounds reasonable, and according to the people in Jiangxi, they would not touch the general's relics, but it always sounds a little bit wrong, and now is a time of war, no one can be sure.
Is there anyone who would sneak into the house to steal the owner's valuables? The gatekeepers glanced at each other and made some calculations in their ears. Just as they were about to investigate more carefully, they suddenly saw a dark place in front of them.
There are some abnormalities,
Han Si didn't expect that there was still someone guarding the small north door. He looked at the man being stopped for a long time and couldn't help but sigh. It was too stupid to find spies and Xizuo, and he was too lazy to wait any longer, so he
He took out the badge from his waist and waved it to the gatekeepers in the dark.
"Okay, let's go over there. The general treated us well in the past. Don't be slow to transport all these back to our ancestors' home." The guards guarding the gate were also smart. When they saw Han Si's waistband showing out, they started talking to the man holding the box.
The man said something and then let go.
When Han Si saw the man nodded and went out the door, he followed him. He didn't go out from the door, but stayed close to the eaves high up in a place where he couldn't easily find it. He was still wondering just now.
A few people realized that this was to catch someone, and there must be something wrong with that person.
After following the man for a long time, I saw the man walking towards a weedy area outside the city wall. At first glance, I couldn't tell what the clue was, but the man was pushing away the weeds.
Later, he could see a large hole exposed that could accommodate an adult man squeezing out. Seeing that he could not follow the words, Han Si jumped to the top of the tower and hid.
At this time, the weeds had lost their vitality and were full of withered yellow. When the weeds were removed, it was inevitable that fine pieces of dead leaves would fall on the man's head, which naturally made him look particularly embarrassed. However, the man did not go there.
Regardless of this, he bent down and walked out of the cave towards the outside of the city. When he raised his eyes again, he saw another scene.
"How's it going? Have you got the things?" It turned out that there was an adult man standing outside the cave, but because he was different in stature from the Central Plains man in Daliang, he had not entered the city. He spoke with a Beiyi accent, and at this time, he held his hand
He was wearing his sleeves and his face was already dark red from the cold. It looked like he had been waiting outside for a long time.
When the man wearing a royal blue servant uniform saw the Beiyi tribesman, he immediately nodded and bowed and said: "I got it all, I hope you can take a look at it." As he said this, he took out the box he had been holding in his hand.
He handed it to the Beiyi tribesman and said, "Don't worry, sir. Although the people in the house also inquired when I came, they didn't become suspicious, and no one noticed that I stole this object."
The box held in a long black cloth came into the hands of the Beiyi tribesman. After opening it and looking at it, he found that it had a lock on it. He raised his head and nodded to the man and said, "You did a good job. Here
Take some money and spend it first, and don't show up around the general's mansion in the near future, so as not to be exposed." After instructing this matter, he checked around to see if anyone saw him before walking along the wall.
The man in the general's servant's uniform touched his hand and bumped the silver coins. He felt that the portion was indeed quite sufficient and laughed. He went out the same way just now and came back again. After hearing that the Beiyi tribesman just now
He also felt that he should not show his face in the General's Mansion at this time, so he headed towards the City God's Temple in the city. However, before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by Han Si who suddenly appeared...
At this time, Ji Bo'an, who was in the mourning hall of the General's Mansion, saw Han Si's figure hidden among the crowd, so he said something to Fei Bing'an and walked out. Seeing Ji Bo'an coming out, Han Si naturally retreated slowly, and the two
When he reached a corner where there was no one around, he whispered a few words into Ji Bo'an's ear.
After Han Si finished speaking, Ji Boyan just nodded. He pursed his lips and said, "You have to take good care of the people. Don't take them back to the camp. Find a small courtyard. Xiayi and the others don't know about this either. You
Just go and do it yourself. If you find it a bit difficult, just bring Ji You with you." This matter cannot be made public for the time being, and no one in the camp can know about it, so for the time being, he asked Han Si to find a yard where anyone who knows can know.
The less the better.
Han Si took the order and retreated. By the time Ji Bo'an came back, it was already time for everyone to go back. It was originally agreed that Zheng Su would be buried for seven days, and Zheng Su would be buried after seven days.
It is the Zheng family's own business to hold the funeral.
"Song Ming, I have to go back to the inn later. You and Bing'an can go back to the camp first." At this time, the three of them came out together and said to Ji Bo'an, the two people walking in front, but their faces were very different.
No other exceptions.
Song Ming, who was walking in front, heard what Ji Bo'an said, turned around and asked, "But Miss Tang is still angry with you?" After Tang Yiyi's wedding, because Ji Bo'an said he was poisonous,
There had been some disagreements with Ji Bo'an about the matter. One wanted a blood transfusion and the other did not want to. He and Fei Bing'an also knew this. So they said in a rather helpless tone: "Don't argue with her again when you go back. It's too much.
We care about each other.”
Fei Bingan didn't say anything. He saw Han Si when he came. Naturally he knew what he was going to do, so he grabbed Song Ming who wanted to say a few more words and pulled him forward twice and said: "
Regarding the young couple's affairs, you, a bachelor, have to talk a lot every day. If you have this free time, why not go back and practice more soldiers. It seems that the beginning of spring is not far away, and fighting is about to start. Come with me quickly.
In the camp.”
Song Ming was pulled a bit and was about to say that he hadn't finished what he said, but when he heard what Fei Bing'an said, he suddenly felt that he, an old bachelor, was really too careless, so he and Fei Bing'an turned around.
Ji Boyan walked away without a trace, leaving Ji Boyan walking towards the inn alone. However, before he could even walk up to a stick of incense, he was stopped halfway by Ji You.
"Master, Han Si has brought people to a courtyard in the south. Let's go there now."
When Ji Bo'an saw him, he nodded and followed Ji You to the small courtyard. At this time, the door of the courtyard was tightly closed. He went up and knocked three times before seeing Han Si open the door. He saw that it was Ji Bo'an's Han Si.
Then he let the door open and led them together to the room where the man who went to the study of the General's Mansion to steal the box was locked.
The person who had just been kidnapped here by Han Si suddenly appeared was now gagged, and his heart was now cold. When he saw that the person who pushed the door in was Ji Bo'an, his eyes were filled with tears because he had taken the money.
