Chapter 388: Night Detective


Cool night, no moon.

The sky is full of stars, the cool breeze is blowing, and the insects are singing.

Outside the west wall of Zhongshan Wangfu, because it is not far from the diagonal side is the "Sanyou Pavilion" restaurant, so until the third watch, the restaurant is closed, and the traces of people are gradually scarce.

This is the third day after Xia Xun boarded the "Three Friends Pavilion" to view the situation of the Zhongshan Palace.

In the past three days, every day, Xia Xun's people dressed up as different drinkers went upstairs, monitored the movement of Zhongshan Wangfu from a high place, and inspected the reality of the mansion, just like other mansions.

There are family guards, and there are no armed patrols every day, unless there are bandits in the capital.

In addition to the palace Ouchi, even the six yamen only had two guards at night, and there were no armed soldiers to patrol the night.

The armed night guards are all on the streets, they belong to Ying Tianfu and the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and it takes about an hour and a half to patrol a street.

Xia Xun spent a few days investigating and confirming these situations.

There is no big mistake in being careful, especially in such a fatal event, he must use the greatest patience and make some preparations as much as possible, there must be risks, it is impossible for Jin Yiwei not to take advantage of this opportunity, the danger of snatching food from the tiger's mouth is quite large, Xia Xun is pinning his hope of success on the limited strength of Jin Yiwei to a certain extent.

He knew that Luo Yiwei had always wanted to regain the emperor's reuse, but the civil and military officials were very jealous of Jinyiwei, a tiger with sharp teeth and claws, and always refused to let go of power, so the power that Jinyiwei could use was extremely limited.

Xia Xun climbed over the first wall very smoothly, as soon as the ladder was removed, the two subordinates also climbed over, followed by the second wall, the second wall was a low wall, Xia Xun jumped on the wall, stretched out his hand, and lifted Xu Ming'er lightly first.

Xu Ming'er was wearing a night suit, her little face was a little pale with nervousness, and Xia Xun patted her shoulder comfortingly.

Xia Xun couldn't help but bring her, whether it was rumors in the market or the news from the Xu family, it was said that Xu Zengshou was placed under house arrest by Xu Huizu in the house, and only four family members were guarding outside the hospital.

If the situation is true, then the reason why Xu Zengshou never had the idea of escaping at all is by no means that he is very strict and has no chance to escape, but that he cannot overcome the wall of family affection and family responsibility in his heart.

He can betray the emperor, just for the sake of family affection, for the sake of his eldest sister, in the same way, he does not dare to escape, because he is worried that it will affect his eldest brother, even if it may make him pay for his surname, Xu Zengshou is undoubtedly a person with great feelings and a strong sense of family.

In this case, Xia Xun may not be able to take him away if he finds him, so he needs Ming'er to convince him.

Even if Xu Huizu is guilty of lax care, and he is not guilty of death if he is pregnant with a Danshu iron coupon, if Xu Ming'er can't convince him, as long as he sacrifices the killer weapon of "the third brother doesn't leave, I won't leave", and then a few tears, Xu Zengshou, who has always spoiled her and loved her baby like his own eyeballs, can only choose to leave with her for the sake of his little sister's life.

After going up the low wall, Xia Xun did not immediately turn over, but smoothed Xu Ming'er down first.

Xia Xun carried a few meat buns in his arms, but this thing may not work for the fierce dogs of large families who care for the house, these fierce dogs are well-trained and may not be willing to be fooled.

When thinking about how to deal with the few fierce dogs raised by the Xu family, Xu Ming'er patted her chest and assured that she was absolutely sure to deal with it, and their puppies were all very tame in front of her, and Xia Xun now only hoped that she was not blowing nonsense.

Xu Ming'er tiptoed only a few steps, and a few shadows jumped over like lightning in the night, Xu Ming'er stopped, waved her hand, and called softly: "Big black, little black, little white" Those half-human-tall fierce dogs froze, only stood for a moment, and then pounced again, the threatening whine was replaced by a cheerful roar, they stood one by one, excitedly pounced on Xu Ming'er, and at the same time wagged their tails desperately, Xu Ming'er, who was petite and immature, immediately became a flat boat in the waves, and was almost knocked down by those "little dogs".

Xia Xun was secretly surprised, he didn't expect that there were so many dogs in the West Courtyard alone, and the meat bun in his arms really couldn't work in advance, as long as a dog barked wildly, tonight's rescue operation could only be canceled.

"I can control them, my sister-in-law said, children are the same as cats and dogs, they can see through people's hearts, and they like to be with kind-hearted people, I don't know if it's true, but my cats and dogs all like me, and the children in our family, no matter what temper, like to be close to me, and can play with me."

Thinking of what Xu Ming'er said, Xia Xun smiled slightly.

Xu Ming'er touched the heads of the fierce dogs who desperately wagged their tails at her, four or five big dogs, all of them were half as tall as Chengren, if they started to have a surname, they could tear her apart with just one pounce, but when they were touched by her little hands, those dogs miraculously quieted down, squatting on the ground one by one, honestly motionless, just looking up at her with their heads and eyes.

Xu Ming'er turned around and beckoned to Xia Xun who was squatting on the wall, and Xia Xun immediately jumped in.

There were two people behind him, and the four of them touched forward together, and every few steps, they all spread out to the left and right, as if they were checking for an ambush, and they looked like they were walking in a serpentine shape, which seemed a little weird.

"A good man, a good man spare his life, if you want money, take all the money, just ask you not to hurt our surname" It's really unlucky, seeing that it's almost the third watch, there is still a table of drunk guests on the second floor, and there is also a table near the window on the third floor, most of the guys and chefs in the store have left, and only a few are left to work overtime tonight.

The shopkeeper and the guy talked about it, and reduced some wine money, so that the drunkard on the second floor was coaxed away, not wanting to go up to the third floor, the few wines did not drink a few sips, and the dishes did not move a few sips, but a few guests who had been soaking here all night suddenly turned their faces, showed bright knives, and drove the people in the restaurant together, and then they went to the door first, leaving only one doorway, and turned off the lights outside, and then they were busy inside and outside the building, and they didn't know what they were doing.

In the "Sanyou Pavilion", the shopkeeper, the running hall, and the master chef of the back kitchen all squatted on the ground tremblingly, and the shopkeeper was afraid that they would demolish their own restaurant, so they couldn't help but beg for mercy from the murderous man.

"Phew, who is scarce about your little money" The big man with a meaty face slapped the knife on the table, sat down and said: "Shopkeeper, you are afraid, the brothers are only borrowing your brother's envoy for today's business, and we will leave when we are done, and we will not leave you alone, nor will we take a penny from you."

Of course, you also have to know each other, if anyone dares to move their hearts, this knife will be opened today."

"Yes, yes, yes" The shopkeeper nodded like pounding garlic, and his face was full of bitterness and he didn't dare to say any more: "Borrow my place to make them mix with the underworld or the green forest, no matter which way, what kind of business do you do with this tavern by me?"

Outside the wall of the west courtyard of the Zhongshan Palace, near the long street in front, there was a carriage parked, and the carriage was parked in the recess of the wall, and the tail of the carriage was against the wall.

The watchman who was on the night guard walked through the street with a bang, and glanced at it casually.

There was a groom sitting at the head of the carriage, drooping his head as if he was dozing, and the horse was still on the wheel, and it seemed that he was going to leave at any time, and if he borrowed this place for the night, it would be impossible for the horse to hold the station for a night, who did not care for the livestock so much.

Tsk, there are four horses on the set, the sky is dark, I can't see whether it is a sturdy mule or a steed at the bottom, anyway, the horse is high, it is not an ordinary person, no wonder it will stop outside the wall of the Zhongshan Palace, I think there is a noble person visiting the country at night, this is not something that ordinary people should inquire.

The husband smacked his mouth and walked over with a bang.

Entering the courtyard, Xu Ming'er was familiar with the road, and led them to the Pavilion after a while.

The Jingmiao Hall in the center of the Jingmiao Pavilion and the garden used to be where Xu Ming'er studied, and the other was her boudoir, so they each took one of the words in her name and took these two names.

The Pavilion was closest to the west wall, a small building with a wavy wall and a moon gate.

When he arrived at the door, Xia Xun gestured to Xu Ming'er, then flashed to the left and right, and hid under the low wall, while the two Xia Xun's subordinates cleverly climbed over the low wall, and quietly moved forward under the cover of flowers, plants, mountains and stones.

Soon, a few unobtrusive muffled snorts came, and a man in black flashed out and beckoned to Xia Xun.

"It's going so well."

Xia Xun faintly felt that something was wrong, the two subordinates he brought were extremely skillful, they were the first-class masters of the three guards of Yanshan, and it was said that they had also been instructed by Master Daoyan in martial arts, and it should be easy to deal with a few unsuspecting generals, even if he was the general of the Zhongshan Palace.

However, I don't know if the psychological shadow left on him by Luo Kedi's slashing knife is too strong, he always feels that Luo Kedi can't let go of Xu Zengshou, a good bait, with Luo Kedi's skills, if he wants to use Xu Zengshou as bait, it is impossible to deploy the guards so loosely.

But now, although there are doubts, I can only take a step and take a step.

Xia Xun and Xu Ming'er entered the courtyard, the strange thing is that the four generals who were said to have been sent by Xu Huizu to take care of Xu Zengshou have been solved by his people, but Xia Xun still does not leave the courtyard door, he climbed over the low wall, stretched out his hand to Xu Ming'er, Xu Ming'er ran over, took his hand, was lifted to the wall by him, and then gently put it into the courtyard, and then Xia Xun himself jumped in.

Since they climbed into the courtyard wall, walking, movements, has been a little weird, including the two subordinates, the four of them have to raise their hands from time to time, I don't know what they are doing, now put the gate to jump off the wall, it is even more strange, but tonight there are stars and no moon, the light is dim, but I can't see what the hell they are doing.

Three watches, the main room is still lit on the lamp, the door is Nanmu rhombic fan, the upper half is hollowed out rhombic flower, pasted with silk silk, the light reflects a messy shadow on the door, it looks like a person lying on the rocking chair, is shaking slightly, seems to be full of sorrow and difficult to sleep.

Xu Ming'er wanted to shout out unwillingly, and then saved herself from shouting here.

Suppressing her excitement, she threw herself to the door To be continued:
