Chapter 979 Yellow Bird
The leader left Lan Xue's yard, carefully dodged a group of servants on night watch, and dodged two women passing by. He came to the base of the back wall of the house in the dark, and then pretended to make a cat meow. After a while, something appeared outside the wall.
There was also the sound of a cat meowing, and he knew that it was his companions telling him that everything was ready outside and he could climb over the wall and leave.
There was no one around and it was pitch dark, so it was a good time to escape. He touched the wall he had stepped on when sneaking in, checked the position of the two slightly protruding brick corners on the wall, took a few steps back, and started running.
He walked for a short distance, then jumped slightly, using the two protruding corners of the bricks as leverage points, and successfully climbed up the wall.
On the other side of the wall, two of his capable subordinates were waiting for him. One was on guard and the other was responding. The responding person stepped back a few steps, and the leader gently landed on the ground. He escaped smoothly without any danger.
The three of them immediately retreated, walked through the long dark alley, and ran to the other side of the alley.
On the way, the leader asked two subordinates: "Has anyone approached here tonight? Has anyone over at the concierge noticed something is wrong?"
They both shook their heads: "Don't worry, chief. We first asked someone to speak rudely in front of the woman guarding the back door to make her angry. We misunderstood that it was the night watchman sent by Zhao Mo who ordered it, and then we asked another group of people to appease the woman.
, push her away from the back door. Except for us, no one will find out that anyone has entered Lan Xue's yard!"
The leader felt a little relieved. At this time, the three of them had already run to the other side of the alley. They saw a carriage already parked there, sealed tightly. The driver was sitting upright, holding a whip in his hand, as if he could be ready at any time.
Set off and quickly got into the carriages one after another.
The wheels of the carriage were specially made and were fully oiled, so they turned very quietly. The four hooves of the horse pulling the carriage were also wrapped in cloth to reduce the sound of the horse's hooves. The driver who had been waiting for a long time flicked his whip.
They drove the carriage quickly away from the alley. They walked through alleys and turned around. If anyone followed them at this time, they would definitely be stunned.
In the carriage, two subordinates finally took the time to ask the leader about Lan Xue. The leader briefly explained how the two met, and said unfavorably: "This woman is so stupid! In the past, when Lan Fu was born,
She was doing things smoothly. Later, without Lan Fusheng and Zhu Er, although she was no longer as handy as before, she still didn't make any big mistakes. Now that even Zhu Er is gone, Zhen Er Niang can no longer stay in the mansion as an errand.
, just count on Lan Xue? I dare not expect her to do anything good!"
Subordinate A said angrily: "Since she admitted in front of Zhao Shuo that she had done nothing good, why did she throw dirty water on Zhen'er and her daughter's heads before?! There is also the matter of the medicine. If she wanted to give it, she would do it.
, why did she hesitate to take action when the medicine was in her hands? If she hadn't refused to take the medicine and was careless and not careful about Xiao Wang's people, how could such a big thing have happened?! Now!
Even Zhu'er is dead, and Zhu'er is a hundred times more useful than Lan Xue! She's already dead, how can Lan Xue still live so easily?!"
Subordinate B thought more: "Chief, Zhen'er and her mother are still alive, but with Zhen'er's temper, she probably won't confess and tell the truth. Should we try to save them? Or should we just pretend that it's not a problem?
Like, completely ignoring them?"
The leader said: "We can't save! If we don't save them, it will make it appear that they are just following Lan Xue's orders and not her accomplices. But if we save them, it will clearly tell people that there is something wrong with their origins. We are still in Zhao Shuo's house.
We have people, just not in the inner courtyard. Don’t arouse Zhao Shuo’s suspicion again, lest he kills the only remaining ears and eyes!”
Yes, he does still have people working as servants in Zhao Shuo's mansion, otherwise how could he pretend to be a doctor so easily and get in? But now they have lost too many people in Zhao Shuo's inner courtyard, and he can't
Taking another risk and sacrificing the remaining people would not only make all the efforts they have spent on Zhao Shuo in the past years in vain, but it might also alert the enemy and allow Zhao Shuo and his son to guess which force is behind them. They are now
The success of their plans all depends on the word "surprise". Because no one thinks of them, they will always go smoothly. But after all, such luck will not belong to them forever.
Both subordinates can understand the leader's concerns, but they will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable when they think of their companions falling into the enemy's hands and being helpless.
Compared with Lan Xue, Zhu'er, Zhen'er, mother and daughter, who were managed by Lan Fusheng to get into the Liao Palace as maids not long after entering the Jokhang Kingdom, they spent more time with them, and their affection for them was deeper.
Lan Xue easily pushed Zhen'er and her daughter out to be scapegoats, and they all felt a little resentful. Zhu'er committed suicide, and even her body was not known to be disposed of. Her companions could not handle her funeral arrangements, and Zhen'er, mother and daughter could not help her.
They don't know when they will see each other again, but the culprit is still alive and well, lying in bed and enjoying happiness. Is there anything more unfair than this in the world?!
Subordinate A felt depressed thinking that Zhu'er had died like this. He asked the leader: "Now there is no hope for Zhao Shuo, and we have lost too many manpower, why not simply abandon this line?"
? As long as Lan Xue is dealt with and she is not allowed to leak the information, Zhao Qi, who is left unaware of his life experience, will not be able to find out anything. And once Lan Xue dies, Zhao Shuo will naturally no longer be in trouble with Zhen Er Niang and the others.
.We can free up our hands and find ways to do other serious things!"
Subordinate B frowned and looked at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Although Lan Xue is a bit stupid, she is still one of our own. If we really want her to shut up, we don't have to kill her, right? She did make a mistake, but she didn't betray her?"
!”
Subordinate A sneered: "Isn't this called betrayal? She has really stayed in the prince's palace in Jokhang for too long. She has forgotten who she is and her responsibilities. She only thinks about how to compete with others and be jealous. Why?
How many things will happen if she is favored by Zhao Shuo?! We just asked her to be an spy, and as long as she stayed in Zhao Shuo's backyard and gave birth to a son for him, she wouldn't have to worry about anything else.
What was the result? Because of her selfishness, Lan Fusheng also manipulated her. Zhao Shuo failed to enter Jidong Palace as we wished, and now he has lost power! Lan Xue was caught by the little Wang family, and she immediately killed her.
All the companions around her were pushed out to die. As long as she still has a sense of responsibility, she should know that she should admit the crime at this time. Anyway, she has a son, Zhao Shuo will not kill her anyway, but
It’s just that they fell out of favor, what’s the big deal? Zhu’er and the others can still act as usual, snooping around for information, instead of losing their lives inexplicably! If Lan Xue is not betrayed like this, then what is betrayal?!”
Subordinate B has worked with him for many years and knows that he has been mistreated by Lan Xue a lot. He has always been close to Zhu Er, so he has been holding back a belly of resentment in his heart. In fact, Lan Xue's temperament and scheming have really impressed them.
He has caused a lot of trouble. Regardless of his companion's identity, he doesn't have a good impression of him.
Therefore, subordinate B also turned to the leader and said: "Brother Jia's words are rough, but the truth is clear. Lan Xue is no longer useful now, she is easy to do bad things, and she is selfish. Keeping her, for us,
The risk is too great. Although we still have people in Zhao Shuo's mansion, there is no manpower in the inner courtyard. If Lanxue is dazzled by wealth and glory, or she only thinks about her son's success and deliberately betrays us, we are afraid that there is nothing we can do
You know. If you regret it by then, it will be too late!"
The leader shook his head: "Now is not the time, there are still places where she is needed, so we can't do anything to her."
The two subordinates couldn't help but look at each other, with a question in their minds: "What does this mean?"
The leader smiled: "We will soon have a noble ally. He needs us to help him deal with a few people. Zhao Shuo is a very suitable candidate for the scapegoat, and he can contain Zhao Mo. Since Lan Xue is here
She will come in handy sooner or later in his house, so why rush to deal with her?"
Although the leader did not go into too much detail, the two subordinates understood what she meant, exchanged glances with each other, and smiled: "Since the leader has a perfect plan, it is naturally the best thing to do. We are too worried about it."
Too much."
The carriage quietly drove into a dilapidated alley, turned two corners, and stopped in front of an ordinary courtyard house. The three people in the car quietly got out of the car, and one of them stepped forward and knocked on the door. He
I knocked very regularly and only after repeating it twice, the door was already opened.
The three of them quickly got into the door, and the person who opened the door immediately closed the door. The coachman drove the carriage out of the alley and ran towards the other side of the alley.
Calm returned to the alley again, and the surroundings were dark.
Several young and strong men in plain clothes emerged from the darkness, stared at the house that the three people had just entered, took note of the location and the surrounding environment of the neighbors, and then separated out two
The companions followed the direction in which the carriage left, leaving two more companions behind to continue their surveillance work in a secluded corner, while the remaining people turned back to report to Zhao Mo.
"Oh? Did you find their whereabouts?" Zhao Mo raised his head with a smile on his face, "This is a good thing. You can try to check again tomorrow to see who rented the house. Keep an eye on it.
Keep an eye on them and see how many of them there are, what they look like, who they meet and talk to, and what they plan to do."
Everyone was busy patting their chests and promising that they would never let this group of people with unknown origins and ulterior motives stir up trouble in the capital city again.
Zhao Mo smiled slightly and looked away. He was holding Lan Fusheng's latest confession in his hand. Although Lan Fusheng still cunningly refused to tell his true origins, he had been pampered for many years after being tortured many times.
He still couldn't bear it anymore, and began to make some confessions that were difficult to distinguish between true and false. Unexpectedly, Zhao Mo could always find flaws in these confessions, deduce useful clues, and defeat Lan Fusheng's wishful thinking. Now.
, Lan Xue has lost power, lost all her confidants, and betrayed her parents and children. Will the change in the situation make Lan Fusheng give up and truly think about his own safety and tell more truth to the interrogators?
Zhao Mo is already looking forward to the next new confession.
