Chapter 42 Not afraid of death
The old lady stared at the gloss at the corner of Uncle Yongqing's mouth: "Do you still want to have dinner?"
Uncle Yongqing waved his hand: "No, I've eaten several biscuits and I'm full."
Old lady: "..."
Unfilial girl!
Greedy old guy!
Qiu Heng, who was resented by the old lady, waited until late at night and skillfully climbed over the courtyard wall.
She became more and more familiar with this capital as she explored it day or night.
Yuan Chenghai was born in the southeast, and his parents, wife, and children all lived in his hometown. There was only one house in the capital, which was where he stayed when he returned to Beijing. He usually lived with two beautiful concubines.
Qiu Heng visited Yuan's house. Yuan Chenghai had not returned to Beijing at that time.
At this time, under the darkness of night, Yuan's house with high walls in Momen was quiet. I don't know if Yuan Chenghai was frightened by the assassination during the day, or if he had rested early.
Qiu Heng watched quietly, watching quietly, and saw a few sneaky figures slowly approaching, counting silently in his heart: one, two, three, four, five...
A figure jumped up and climbed up the high wall. The next moment there was the sound of stamping on tiles, and suddenly there were several more people on the roof, surrounding those who climbed over the wall.
It's Yuan Zhai's bodyguard who has been lurking for a long time!
By the time he reacted, it was too late. As screams rang out, the man fell to the ground.
Several companions ran away.
More Yuan Zhai guards jumped down: "Chase!"
Under the cover of night, Qiu Heng's face didn't look good.
She visited Yuan's house at night before. Although there were guards patrolling around, she did not lurk in the dark like this. That was specially arranged by Yuan Chenghai because he cherished his life.
After a while, Qiu Heng saw the patrol inspector who came after hearing the noise, as well as the Imperial City Department.
It seems that Yuan Chenghai was attacked during the day, and more than one government office was interested.
Qiu Heng no longer hesitated, tiptoed, and followed as lightly as the flowing wind.
She measured this land with her feet almost every day, especially the area where the rich and powerful lived, it was like opening up a map in her mind.
She did not keep running with these people, but when passing somewhere, she turned a corner and entered a long alley, going around and around, taking a shortcut to the front.
Several people running for their lives were rushing in this direction, chasing a group of people ten feet behind.
A hand suddenly stretched out from one side and grabbed the person running at the front.
"Who!" The man started immediately and heard a voice, "Follow me."
Then the hand let go, and its owner ran towards an alley.
Several people looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding in an instant: follow us!
So many people were alarmed, and they were unfamiliar with the capital, so they obviously couldn't escape. It's better to take a gamble and admit it if you lose. At worst, the kid who deceived them will join forces and kill them before those people catch up.
Several people ran following the figure in front of them, and soon found that they had reached the end.
dead end!
"Boy, you lied to us!"
The person in front turned his head and suddenly disappeared.
Several people were shocked: What a ghost! !
But they did not stop, and the next moment they discovered that the dead end was not a dead end. There was a long and narrow gap between the wall on the left and the wall at the end, barely enough for one person to pass through.
At this point, there was no way out, so a few people squeezed in, followed the figure in front of them, ran around, and jumped into a high wall.
What comes into view is desolation.
Overgrown with weeds and dilapidated houses, it looked like it had been left unoccupied for a long time.
"What is this place? Who are you?"
The person who led them here said calmly: "This is a haunted house."
Several people took a step back.
There is no moon in the sky, only a few stars add a bit of light to this haunted house, making the grass and trees shadowy and shadowy, making it even more gloomy.
"Like you, I am the one who wants Yuan Chenghai's life."
As soon as these words came out, several people were obviously relieved, but their eyes were fixed on the person who mysteriously appeared to save them.
This man looked like a teenager, and his face was covered with a black scarf, so he looked similar to them.
"Go there and talk."
Qiu Heng turned around first, took the four of them to a more hidden scaffolding, and sat directly on the ground: "Are the four of you from the south?"
"How do you know?" one person asked.
"There are rumors in Beijing." Qiu Heng's calm tone made the four of them feel relaxed, and at the same time, the rhythm of the conversation was also controlled.
"Why do you want to kill Yuan Chenghai?"
The response was silence.
Qiu Heng waited and then stood up: "Forget it, let's go home."
She saved a few people because of the idea that the enemy of my enemy is a friend and maybe they can cooperate.
As Miss Qiu Liu of the Yongqing Uncle Mansion, there are too few people she can use. Qing Luo, Wang Mama and others are okay to cover occasionally, but it's not appropriate to get involved.
One thing is clear to Qiu Heng: Miss Qiu Liu's identity cannot be defeated in front of the world. Miss Qiu Liu is an outspoken, simple and somewhat talented girl.
But after all, it was a chance encounter, and they were unwilling to put down their guard or force it.
"Stop!" One person stepped forward and stretched out his hand to block Qiu Heng.
Qiu Heng chuckled: "You want to repay kindness with hatred?"
The man covered his face with a black scarf, leaving only one eye exposed. After hearing what Qiu Heng said, his eyes showed a bit of embarrassment.

Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
"How can we be sure that you won't turn around and report it to the official?"
Qiu Heng shook his head: "Before, I was surprised that you only carried out the assassination during the day. Yuan Zhai would obviously be more vigilant, so why did you do it at night? Now it seems that it is really not smart."
"What do you know!" The person who stopped Qiu Heng seemed to have been stepped on a painful spot, and became excited, "So many of us are dead, all dead, and only a few of us are left! If we don't hurry up, we will be here If you’re not familiar with the capital, you won’t have a chance!”
"Chen San, don't say that. Little brother is kind to us." Another person handed over to Qiu Heng, "Little brother, don't argue with him, he has a short temper."
"Then should I go or not?" Qiu Heng asked.
"Little brother, please sit down." The man introduced himself, "My surname is Tao, and they all call me Tao Da. This is Chen San, this is Liu Er, and this is Nie Sanniang."
Qiu Heng wrote them down one by one and took another look at the masked woman.
"Yuan Chenghai has been plundering in the southeast for many years, forcing countless people to lose their homes and become homeless. Gradually some righteous people gathered together and vowed to take the life of this thief..."
Tao Da's talk about Yuan Chenghai's evil deeds in the southeast was far more shocking than the few records in the book.
"But there are more and more guards around him, and the protection is getting tighter and tighter. There is no chance at all in the south. A group of us secretly followed him north, looking for opportunities to attack along the way. By the time we entered Beijing, there were not many left. Today is daylight Seeing that there were not so many guards around him, he finally made a desperate move..."
Chen San listened to the side and simply pulled off his black scarf, revealing a very young face. His whole person showed the dejection of a broken pot: "I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that the thief will not die! He harmed my family. We lost our place to live, and my three-year-old sister froze to death on the street... I hate it, I won’t let it go.”
The young man punched the ground, tears dripping down his face.
Nie Sanniang, the only woman among the four, put her hands around her knees and said in a cold tone: "Even if the thief dies, I will not let him go even if I am a ghost!"
Tao Da whispered: "Sanniang also has a younger sister. At the beginning of the year, Sanniang took her sister out to play and met a dog thief. The dog thief kidnapped Siniang directly. This time he brought Siniang with him to Beijing..."< br>
"It's my fault. I had some skills and insisted on dragging my sister out to play. As a result, my sister fell into a tiger's mouth..." Nie Sanniang raised her hands to cover her face.
The most silent one was Liu Er, who never said a word.
Tao Da tried his best to hold back his emotions and said: "The person who was left behind just now is called Liu Da...Liu Er's biological brother."
"My condolences." Listening to these words, Qiu Heng's heart was heavy, but surprisingly calm.
I've known it for a long time, I've seen it a long time ago.
After the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, the Xia people became like pigs and dogs.
"Little brother, what do you call me?" Tao Da asked.
Naturally, he didn't really trust this mysterious boy. But what if you don’t trust it?
The vigorous and vigorous assassination operation, regardless of life and death, at this time is not so much about taking the life of the dog thief, but it is better to say that it is like a moth flying into the flame, although there is no regret in death.
After so many companions died, they deserved to die together for a common goal.
"You can call me Magpie."
"Magpie?"
"Yes, the magpie's magpie."
"The good news bird——" Chen San suddenly laughed, a sarcastic smile.
Could this young man be deliberately disgusting them?
Tao Da was much more stable: "It seems that my little brother has a pair of parents who love you very much."
"Yes, but they are all dead." Qiu Heng spoke softly, as if he was talking about something insignificant, "They died in the hands of thieves like Yuan Chenghai."
She looked at the four of them and suggested seriously: "Why don't we cooperate?"
Since you are not afraid of death and don't hesitate to die, then let's try again with her Ah Heng.
