The night wind of the cold winter wax moon is as sharp as a knife, blowing on the face as if it can cut an invisible wound slightly stinging, the wind blows the trees, the roof tiles fly, until the time suddenly the wind stops, the trees stop, and the alleys are quiet.The main hall of Yanshengtang is the tallest building in the center of the town, standing on the roof of the main hall in the snow and cold on a winter night, overlooking the town in the dark paint, as if you are in the ghost domain Fengdu City.The cold wind rose again, and Li Haitang stood stubbornly, wrapping the ink fox tightly to prevent the wind from penetrating the slightest."
Little master, go back, what if it freezes?"
The leader of the shadow guard persuaded bitterly, annoyed why he promised to stay with the ghost hand to protect the safety of the little master.Looking at the vast night again, I envy the group of little rabbit cubs who are running around and busy performing tasks, and they must be holding treasure money for gold with a strong face and a happy heart at this moment.Li Haitang had no intention of going back, and stood straight on the ridge of the roof looking at a bland alley in the southernmost part of the town.After the spies secretly investigated, the Yan clan leader came to deliver the treasure money with fanfare, and generously promised that she could go to the Yan family silver village to exchange gold at any time.But after leaving, the patriarch Yan ordered all the gold from each silver village to be secretly sent to more than a dozen private houses in Nanxi Alley, and even proudly said that if Li Haitang could find a private house, he would exchange gold, and if he stupidly ran to Yinzhuang to exchange gold, he lied that the silver inventory was insufficient and could not be exchanged.The entire Ciyu Town was as silent as a wilderness, and a group of black-clothed people quietly and silently ran through the empty streets and alleys.On the rooftops of countless houses, countless shadows flashed into the dark night, and disappeared in an instant towards the depths of the ten quiet alleys of Ciyu Town.Nanxi Alley is made up of more than a dozen criss-crossed alleys, each of which has about more than 10 houses and two large houses.After a hundred years of changes, Nanxi Alley, where the people originally lived, was gradually replaced by the side tribes of the Yan clan.Some of the dignified minions also quietly bought a small mansion here as a retirement place.Over time, Nanxi Alley became the Yan clan village in Porcelain Yu Town.Not only will the Yan clan seize the alleys in the town, but the clansmen of several other big clans will also abandon their old houses and move to the town after they have money, one is to do a small business, and the other is to consider the marriage of their children.At this moment, located in the center of the most prosperous street in the town, Patriarch Yan and the wordless prince chatted all night, talking about the wind and the moon, squandering ink and danqing, and did not worry at all about the 200,000 taels of gold that he secretly moved to the private house in Nanxi Alley.The wordless son did not reveal the ghost mind of Patriarch Yan, and waited for the ending of tonight quietly.He also wanted to know if without Zhuge Yi's hands-on teaching, that eleven-year-old girl could beat the smiling tiger Yan patriarch.Staring out the window at night, there is no moon or stars, only the howling wind is roaring, rolling up the ruined fallen leaves and the dust and sand in the sky without direction.Tonight's Nanxi Alley seems to be calm, but in fact, the waves are surging.A panicked shout came from the largest mansion at the end of the first alley, and the people in the courtyard were forced back into the house by five masked black-clothed men with big knives, and a masked black-clothed man led by him took out a treasure note from Yan's Yinzhuang.When the cowering man saw the treasure banknote, his face immediately changed, he reluctantly stood up straight, and said sharply: "Go to Yinzhuang to exchange money, what are you doing at my house?"
Get out of here!
”The masked black-clothed man holding the treasure money shook the big knife in his hand, and the iron ring on the big knife made a "bang, bang, bang", which was intended to threaten.The man swallowed his saliva, but still pretended to be tough and said, "Get out!"
Patriarch Yan owes money, what are you doing in my house?
If you don't get out again, I'm going to report to the official!
”The masked man in black stood still, and the big knife in his hand still "clattered" to intimidate the dozen or so people who were about to be huddled together.Suddenly, a pleasant bird's cry came from the courtyard outside the door.The masked man in black stepped forward, slapped the treasure money on the man's chest, and turned around and walked away.The man clutched the treasure note on his chest in shock, and only noticed something strange when he came back to his senses."
Oops!
This is a cover-up method for them to make noise.Quick, go to the dungeon and have a look. ”The man urged the servants to run to the dungeon in the backyard to see if the gold hidden in the dungeon was still there.In just three sentences, 10,000 taels of gold disappeared, leaving only a large box with an open lid and ......
"Master, this is a letter." ”"Quickly send it to Huajian Building and hand it over to Patriarch Yan.""
Yes."
The little guy took the letter and rushed out of the dungeon.The male owner looked at the empty big box, thinking of the cruel temper of Patriarch Yan's smile hidden in his sword, and felt that his life was in danger.Countless masked black-clothed people in Nanxi Alley are busy, like ants under the big trees in summer.According to Li Haitang's method, they sent two groups of people to each large mansion and small house where the gold was hidden, and according to the number of owners of the house, they sent three to five people to "repair the plank road in the light", and then sent five to ten people to "secretly Chen Cang".With this cooperation, it was agreed that 200,000 taels of gold would be delivered intact to the spies' nest in Beimin Alley before dawn, and then the plan to transport Wuxinyuan through the dry well secret passage could be successfully completed.On the roof of the main hall of Yansheng Hall, Li Haitang and the leader of the shadow guard stood in the cold wind of the winter night for a whole night.Suddenly, a lot of pale green fluorescence suddenly flew out of Nanxi Alley, like fireflies on a summer night.The leader of the shadow guard was so excited that he roared "It's done", looked up at the sky, there was still half an hour before dawn, Li Haitang said softly: "Send someone to send a letter to Qingluo, she can move." ”"Yes."
As soon as the leader of the shadow guard raised his fist, the shadow guard hiding in the shadows immediately ran silently towards the burned down middle courtyard of the Shadow Guard Pavilion.When she was young, Qingluo disguised herself as a young craftsman and sneaked out of the backyard door of the Xiqiao Pavilion, and went down to the Beimin Alley across the street under the watchful eyes of spies from various prefectures.The spies in various provinces are not suspicious, and there are many secret prostitutes in the alleys of Beimin, which are frequented by traffickers and poor men.These spies will also look for flowers and willows in their spare time, and even often joke about coquettish and amorous prostitutes in private.Little did they know that it was the people who slipped under their noses who were watching here day and night.Qingluo walked through the alleys of Beimin towards the largest beggar's nest in Ciyu Town, and the spies and thieves led by Ghost Hand Leng, Qianye and Huangshi had already dressed up as beggars and waited for a long time.Leng Yan stepped forward to take the vegetable basket handed by Qingluo and asked, "How is it over there?"
Cashed it out?
”"Yes.The eldest girl instructed you to pretend to pass by the high wall of the Wuxin Courtyard, pick up the purse containing the gold, and then go to the Ping'an Alley to find the old housekeeper Uncle. ”"Good idea."
Leng praised it and said to Qianye and Huangshi: "Let's go our separate ways and meet here at noon." ”"Okay.""
Yes."
Qianye and Huangshi saluted Leng Yan with their fists, and led their subordinates to find a place to lean against the wall, and waited until dawn to take advantage of the increasing number of pedestrians on the street.Qingluo disguised herself as a young craftsman and returned to the backyard of the Pavilion, and happened to bump into the black silver bell that was waiting for her.Wu Yinling had a half-worn blue cloak on her arm, and when she saw Qingluo coming back, she immediately opened the cloak and draped it over Qingluo's body, and whispered, "The eldest girl is back, waiting for you to reply." ”"Good.Sister Yinling went to ask Chef Liu to boil a bowl of ginger soup, the eldest girl would definitely be infected with cold if she stood in the cold wind all night. ”"What's the use of your nagging, as soon as the eldest girl came back, she was stared at by Yang Yanyan and Chef Liu after drinking two large bowls of ginger soup, and even the leader of the shadow guard didn't escape."
Wu Yinling took Qingluo's arm and walked together to the hanging flower gate of the west courtyard.() Glory to the end
