Chapter 182 Kill
The thin monkey listened in all directions and watched all the way, avoiding the maids and women on the road, and finally reached the back door of the target yard.
The most powerful woman in the Zhao Dynasty, she is a first-class imperial concubine!
The thin monkey leaned against the wall. From the stomping and breathing coming from inside, he could clearly sense that there were two women guarding the door. Therefore, it was impossible for him to sneak in from here without anyone noticing.
Moreover, it has long been rumored outside that Mrs. Shen has eight vajra wives, who always carry a feather duster with them. Whenever Mrs. Shen fell out with anyone, all the Vajra ladies would swarm her.
Because of this, the old ladies and ladies of Rongguo Mansion, who were concerned about their face, had to bow their heads in front of her.
Hum~
Shouhou was often slapped by his mother's feather duster when he was a child, and he was naturally afraid of that thing.
He slowly followed the thin bamboos along the wall to find breakthrough points elsewhere.
Along the way, he slowly figured out the tea room, master bedroom, warehouse and other rooms from the layout of the yard, the sounds of voices and breathing in the house.
The study is in the southeast corner of the door. Because the owner is not here, there is no one there.
Just to get in, you have to climb to the roof.
But...
He didn't know what was wrong, but the longer he walked around here, the more he felt like he was being stared at.
But I want to look for it, but I really have no clue.
Logically speaking, this shouldn’t be the case in this cold weather!
Even in Prince Jin's Mansion, the guards are all hiding.
Ningguo Mansion, a deep and complex compound, can't be more heavily guarded than Prince Jin's Mansion.
Although Shouhou suffered a loss once, he still subconsciously belittled this place because of the comparison with Prince Jin's Mansion.
Wearing a white cloak, he tried his best to hide in the snow while observing his surroundings and listening to all the movements in the courtyard.
Time passed little by little, and the thin monkey in the middle noticed Tianxiang Tower, but no one went up to this kind of viewing tower in the inner garden on weekdays.
For example, the Wangyue Tower in Prince Jin's Mansion is more lively in summer, but in winter, no one goes there.
What's more, it's snowing today.
The thin monkey lying in the snow took a look from a distance. Because trees, bamboos, houses, etc. blocked it, he could not see the whole picture. He was soon attracted by the fragrance in the courtyard and couldn't help but take a strong sniff.
Well, like chestnuts or some snacks.
The thin monkey sighed.
He took out a piece of dried meat from his arms, put it in his mouth and chewed hard.
No, next time I go back, I will have to sew a piece of leather on the clothes around my belly.
It’s so damn cold.
"Oh, my sisters-in-law, even though my wife is not here, you can't eat this and bake that!"
In the yard, Mrs. Wang glanced at the red bean cake.
"Mom, don't worry. If your wife asks, we will answer it ourselves!"
Xiaodong happily stuffed the hot red bean cake into Mrs. Wang's hand.
"That's right, mom, don't worry, my wife will never scold us for these little things."
"My wife also said before that the baked sweet potatoes are delicious in the cold weather. She asked us to go to the warehouse to get some."
"Then have you received it?"
Mrs. Xin at the back door seems to have taken it.
Mrs. Wang could smell the fragrance yesterday.
"Get it and leave it at the back door."
"That's no wonder."
Hearing them all warming themselves over the fire and talking, the thin monkey swallowed the dried meat in his mouth, used both hands and feet to jump up to the roof here.
The sound of the snow being pressed was heard. Fortunately, the snow was not thick at this time, and the maid in the courtyard was still talking happily, so no one cared.
The skinny monkey looked around, seized the moment, somersaulted again, silently rolled down and hid behind the pillar.
After confirming that there was really no one here, he let out a breath and looked first at the study door, then at the study window.
He couldn't control the sound of opening the door very well, but this window...
As a habitual thief, he had pushed through countless windows, so he knew how to push them without making any noise.
The thin monkey quickly turned sideways, tried it lightly, then pushed it away, and rushed in.
At the same time, he closed the window with his backhand as quickly as possible.
My hand speed was too fast, and when I felt something was wrong, it was already too late, Dang Dang Dang~~~~
There was a small bell hanging on each side of the window, and the threads that tied them were very complicated. Damn it, it didn't ring when he came in, but it actually rang now.
The skinny monkey knew something was wrong and didn't care about anything else. He opened the window and fled quickly.
However, since the bell rang, Southeast and Northwest naturally heard it. Xiaonan grabbed the fire tongs and rushed out with everyone.
But they were still some distance away from the study, and when they ran out, they saw the thin monkey leaping to the roof.
Xiaonan threw the poker up without any hesitation.
At the same time, Xiaodong and the others rushed to the gate without any delay.
Bang~
The skinny monkey who went up to the room was hit by the fire pliers, staggered, and the snow slipped, and he fell out with a crash.
Chaotic footsteps were coming towards him.
Slender Monkey knows that if caught, he is doomed.
He ignored the pain in his legs, used both hands and feet to rush out.
But Xiaodong, who rushed out first, had already seen him.
The four of them have no other advantages, but their strength is far superior to others.
When Jiao Da taught them, he considered that they were on duty in the inner house and specially trained their throwing accuracy.
In their purses, each of them had ten heavier coins, one of which had been specially polished.
When running out, Xiaodong already had three in his hand, and of course he would not let the opponent go at this time.
咻咻咻咻~~~~
Three coins, one for the head and two for the legs.
Xiaoxi and Xiaobei followed closely.
Although they are young, their bodies are flexible. When walking through the bamboo forest, especially Xiaobei, they look like monkeys.
咻咻~~
咻咻咻~~~
All the money spent by several people went to the thin monkey.
Shouhou was simply stunned by these little maids.
Fortunately, he has a flexible body. Although he has a few coins on his body, his clothes are thick in winter, so he can avoid spending money on his head. Although he is embarrassed, as long as he is given a few more breaths...
The four guards who were lying in ambush knew that the little girls could not keep up with the thin monkey. One of them took a bow and shot an arrow. As soon as he ran out of the bamboo forest over there, he shot out with a bang.
The thin monkey felt something was wrong and hurriedly turned sideways.
At this time, Xiaobei had also chased him out, but because she was young, she did not dare to pounce on him. She only relied on her strength to break a thin bamboo with a click.
Originally, she wanted to hit the person with the bamboo, but as soon as the person ran away, they were more than ten feet away. With her speed and strength, it was difficult to catch up.
Xiaobei made a quick decision and shot the bamboo diagonally from below with a whoosh.
Her goal is to trip the opponent's feet.
The Slender Monkey guarded everything but his feet.
Bang~
Because he was going too fast, when he tripped, although he used his body flexibility to relieve most of his strength, he still fell a little. Plus the time wasted, it was enough for the two guards who rushed over to use their swords. Up to his neck.
"You guys did a great job!"
Zhou Bo praised the little girls who came after them, wheezing and panting, "You should be the first to take down this person."
They didn't catch up with this person at first.
"Uncle Zhou, he..."
"We have taken this man, so you can leave him alone. But from now on, you have to practice martial arts well."
They are all good seeds, it would be a pity to waste them.
Zhou Bo has decided to go to Tianjin Wei to serve as a small flag officer. This month is his last month in Ningguo Mansion.
He was particularly happy to be able to capture this guy who had been to Ningguo Mansion for two years for his wife and uncle before leaving. "Take it," he took off the bag with the iron pills and threw it to Xiaobei, "Let's use this to practice in the future. ! ”
It’s too little money to spend.
It's okay to deal with people in the inner house, but it's much worse to deal with people outside.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."
From a distance, Shen Ning was satisfied after watching a blurry chase.
Jiao looked at her with disdain and couldn't help but touch his beard proudly.
If he can satisfy his wife, the efforts he put into his four little children will be in vain.
"Madam, the main disadvantage of the four people in the southeast and northwest is that they are still young and do not have the weapons at their disposal."
Mainly because I didn't expect that man to actually run into my wife's yard.
"I know."
Shen Ning nodded, "You will have to worry about their weapons in the future."
What she is most concerned about now is the thief, "It's that person..."
It's cheap to send it to the government.
But if he doesn't send it away, he will deal with it privately, at Prince Jin's place... Shen Ning thought for a moment, "Break his hands and feet, and then send him to Shuntian Mansion."
"...He is from King Jin."
Jiao Da didn't want to let go.
"I know."
Shen Ning said: "I just want Prince Jin to know. I already know that he is eyeing my house. If he wants to save me, just go to Shuntian Mansion! If he doesn't save..., then let him be disabled forever."
"...Yes!"
Jiao Da hesitated for a moment and wanted to say that it would be better to kill him in Shuntian Mansion.
But when the words came to my mouth, I remembered Mr. Dong from Shuntian Mansion, and finally pressed the button.
"Old slave, let's deal with it now."
"...Wait a minute."
Shen Ning thought of something, "This person moves so fast, he must be a habitual thief, right?"
"Yes!"
Jiao Da nodded, "He should handle special affairs for King Jin."
"Such a person should have no shortage of money."
Shen Ning said: "Tell Zhou Bo and the others to spend more and buy a flower for the children at home."
"...Yes!"
Jiao Da strode over.
……
Jin Palace.
The heavy snow that King Jin was waiting for did not arrive.
Seeing that it was getting dark and the person he was waiting for... never came back, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
The skinny monkey won't be caught, right?
He should not be running so fast!
He was able to run away from Jia's house last time, so this time... there should be no accidents.
But why haven't you come back yet?
King Jin was pacing back and forth anxiously.
Time is passing quickly.
At this time, he didn't know that Shouhou's three 'homes' scattered in the capital were all visited by Zhou Bo and the others.
As a capable general who does secret work for the King of Jin, Shouhou not only receives enshrinement from the King of Jin's Palace, but also often receives rewards from the King of Jin.
He clearly earned the money on the surface.
But when it comes to 'stealing', when you see something good, don't be too normal about grabbing it.
Therefore, there are many treasures hidden in each of his three 'homes'!
The carriages rattled, and everyone loaded up their boxes and headed back home one after another.
What Shen Ning didn't expect was that she, the first person to see Slender Monkey, would also receive dividends!
"Mother~"
Jia Zhen was particularly scared.
King Jin took action again and again, obviously he would never spare their family.
If mother hadn't suddenly decided to go to Tianxiang Tower this time, even if the bastard still couldn't steal anything, he would have been able to escape based on his speed.
"If something like this happens again in the future, you should tell your son first."
Without saying a word, she just did it on her own.
What if something goes wrong...
"Tell you, don't I want to share your fat?"
ah?
Jia Zhen was dumbfounded.
He looked at the box of pearls in his mother's hand and couldn't help but feel depressed.
The cunning rabbit has three caves.
Zhou Bo and others worked separately and brought back four large boxes in total.
Gold, silver, beads, jade...
Coupled with more than two thousand taels of silver notes, this thief is really a fat thief.
What a pity, they all shared the money, but he, the head of the family, could only watch.
"In addition to asking about his money, what else did you ask about?"
"Asked a few greedy people."
Jia Zhen said: "But this matter is not our responsibility. Let's send it to Shuntian Mansion for Mr. Dong to investigate!"
"Over at Prince Jin's Mansion...what didn't you ask?"
Shen Ning wanted to know something about King Jin most.
"I asked, but his mission is quite special, stealing and delivering letters."
Jia Zhen said: "The only person who has interacted with him is the Prince of Jin, who is particularly good at copying letters. According to his confession, he stole the letter and went back. To prevent others from discovering it, he would send back another fake letter that was almost the same as the real one."
"..."
Shen Ning's brows couldn't help but frown.
If you can create false information, you can also use it to frame someone up.
Hiss~
She couldn't help but think of the years when the prince was still here...
"No need to wait any longer."
Shen Ning took a long breath and said, "You will have him sent to Shuntian Mansion immediately."
"Now?"
Jia Zhen also wants to take advantage of tonight to buy something more.
"Now!"
Shen Ning said: "Let Mr. Dong investigate the official affairs!"
Leave it at her house... If you want to give it away tomorrow, it might be too late.
If King Jin reacts, there may be several waves of killers on the road from Ningguo Mansion to Shuntian Mansion.
At that time, officials who have relations with King Jin will probably only accompany him to take the initiative to deal with their Ningguo Mansion.
"Ask Zhou Bo and the others to bring a few more people with them to prevent any accidents."
"...Yes!"
Jia Zhen understood somewhat and hurriedly ran out to see people off.
Within a moment, a carriage quietly exited the back door and drove quickly to Shuntian Mansion.
At this time, King Jin finally couldn't wait any longer, "Here comes someone."
He shouted for someone.
The housekeeper came over and said, "Your Majesty!"
"Skinny Monkey went to Ningguo Mansion and hasn't come back yet. Maybe there was an accident."
ah?
The housekeeper was stunned.
Of course he knew the consequences of Shouhou's accident.
But...
"My lord, are you going to kill him?"
"Kill!"
Kill cleanly.
If you kill him, there will be no evidence for everything Shouhou said.
Although King Jin felt that Skinny Monkey did not dare to talk nonsense, but if he didn’t say anything today, what about tomorrow?
Once you can’t stand the punishment...
"Send a few more people."
The King of Jin said: "We should keep an eye on Ningguo Mansion, and we should also keep an eye on Shuntian Mansion."
The Jia family might also beat him to death.
But there is also the possibility of being tortured to extract a confession before being beaten to death.
"Anyway, I'm going to hear about his death within three days?"
"Yes!"
The butler hurried out.
But King Jin was still worried.
This guy who has done a lot of things for him really cannot fall into the hands of Dong Xiaoquan!
