Chapter 121 Murder and silence (four thousand)

Late at night, in the southwest corner of Anwucheng, Xuanyifang.

Just after the third watch, a few bangs could be heard in the distance.

"Tuk—Tuk! Tuk! Great dreams, no worries, no trouble—!"

Amidst the extremely long shouting, a man wearing a long coat, carrying a lantern and a drum hanging on his waist walked slowly along the main road in the square. The bright tone of the door echoed in the cold moonlight street.

Accompanied by one or two barks from time to time, it was an extremely peaceful night.

The man walked unhappily. When he came to an alley, he turned around and went in. Not far away, the sound of banging sounded again.

"Tuk—Tuk! Tuk! Dreams are worry-free, safe and sound——!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at a closed dark door in the alley. A dirty smile flashed across his face, and he continued to walk forward without stopping.

The alley was not long, only about a hundred feet long. As soon as the man walked out of the end of the alley, he saw two figures appearing out of nowhere, and stepped out to block them.

The man trembled immediately and almost fainted.

"Hey - oh! Hey, hey guys..."

Before I could speak clearly, I heard what someone said.

"Why are you, a watchman, walking through this alley if you don't take the main road?"

The man seemed to have regained consciousness. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed.

"They say people are scary, scary to death! This guy came out in the middle of the night, and I thought he was some kind of strongman. This, this is really..."

One of them interrupted in a deep voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, why are you walking through this alley on purpose?"

The man was startled when he heard this and yelled strangely.

"This is a strange question. I have more people in the workshop, so I can go wherever I like. It's five times a night, so I can just knock it down. How do I get there?"

"A Gengren? Haha..." Another man snorted, looked the man up and down and said, "You are a Gengren, where is your wine gourd?"

The man seemed to be choked by his words. He paused for a moment and immediately answered hurriedly.

"Who are you wronging when you're on duty and drinking and causing trouble? I'm not a regular in this workshop, so why am I?!"

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the man, and his voice turned cold. "You can just say this to others, tell it to me? Haha... As the saying goes, who dares to stay up late at night without the courage of three or three?

Xun? You think I don’t know about the twists and turns of your profession? And you still say you are a watcher? Who are you bluffing?!"

Before they finished speaking, the two men started to take someone, but the man had never seen such a scene before. Just when he wanted to run away, he was grabbed by the neck.

"Someone is coming..."

Before he could shout, the owner of the palm exerted his strength and shouted in a low voice.

"Why did you turn into the alley on purpose? Who ordered you to tell me?"

The man held the man's wrist desperately, his face turned blood red from the suffocation, his mouth kept opening and closing, and he spoke intermittently.

"I, I..."

At this moment, the sound of a steel knife being unsheathed resounded on the long street!

"Zheng——!"

"Anwu City's Night Guard Division is patrolling here at night. Who dares to attack and kill the people in the house!"

The three of them were startled at the same time. They turned around and saw a figure in soap clothes carrying a steel knife. He rushed forward and looked at the arm that was holding the man's neck. He slashed it with a knife!

"I don't know whether to live or die!"

In the blink of an eye, the man shouted low, his whole arm suddenly retracted, and he flicked his finger towards the blade.

"Dang——!"

Amidst the ear-piercing explosions, half of the blade was thrown away, shining with a cold light. The man in soap clothes was directly knocked to the ground by a huge force. After rolling twice, he reluctantly got up.

Although the man who was doing the watch was freed from the restraints of his hands, his face turned pale with fright and he collapsed directly on the ground.

He looked down at the broken steel knife in his hand, and then looked up at the two people standing in front of him with their hands clasped behind their backs. The night watchman's legs were trembling, and a layer of cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.

"You, who are you! You dare to attack and kill, attack and kill the city defense department's night patrol! No, you don't want your life!"

As he spoke, he raised his palm and put a bamboo whistle in his mouth.

"Send your name quickly! Otherwise, the whistle will sound and it will look bad!"

The two people frowned slightly. They didn't expect that the night watchman was a bit difficult, so they spoke.

"The two of us bumped into this man's mysterious whereabouts and pretended to be a watchman, so we wanted to go forward and catch him, and asked him carefully. It was also out of good intentions. Doesn't the City Defense Department still care about others taking action in a righteous manner?"

"Pretending to be a watchman? His whereabouts are secretive?" The pock-marked night watchman was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't believe it.

"That's right. This man will do it when he's on duty. But who has ever seen a watchman who doesn't take the main road but goes to the front and back of the house and hides in the narrow alley? Is it possible to deliberately seek death?" one of them said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, the pock-marked night watchman turned his head and glanced at the man on the ground, and his expression suddenly darkened.

"Cao Si, what did you do? Make people suspect that you are a fake, and they want to take action against you?"

When the two people heard this, they looked at each other and thought to themselves that this man is really more humane?

But when the man named Cao Si heard such questioning, he seemed to be asked about something that hurt him. He was speechless and big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

"I, I..."

"Give it back to me! If you don't tell the truth again, the prison cell of the City Defense Department is not an easy place to play. If you go in, you will be bruised and bruised, and you will not come out alive! Speak quickly!"

The night watchman was immediately furious and kicked him. However, because his legs were weak and he had no strength, the kick not only missed Cao Si, but also staggered him to the ground.

Cao Si shrank back, took two steps sideways, and quickly begged for mercy.

"Sir, don't fight, don't fight! I said, I said it's not enough!"

The two people frowned when they saw such an ugly appearance in front of them, and then heard one of them shout.

"Stop your nonsense and tell me now!"

"Hey, yes!" Cao Si got up, bowed and bowed, and said: "To tell you the truth, I, indeed, took other people's money and turned into that alley specifically.

Big banger..."

When the two men heard this, their brows furrowed even deeper, and one of them shouted: "You took the money and went to the alley to knock it? What did the person who gave you the money look like? Why did you have to go to the alley to knock?

Which one is it? Tell me quickly!"

"Yes! Say it quickly!"

The night watchman picked up his hat, put it on his head again, and holding a broken knife, he also shouted. However, as soon as he said this, he was glared at by the two men and suddenly shrank his neck.

When Cao Si saw that neither side of the two parties could afford the punishment, he immediately replied obediently.

"Reply, sir, the man who gave me the money is probably in his early forties and has a strong build. He asked me to knock at the entrance of the alley. The third house in there is the one with the dark door. As for why, for what..."

The night watchman's face became angry and he shouted hastily: "Say it! Why!"

"Because, because the man said he gave me a tael of silver and asked me to give him a heads up in the middle of the night. He, he wanted to hang out with the Widow Liang from that household, and he was afraid that that bitch would be too fat for him.

I can’t stand it anymore. If I come out after the fourth watch, I’ll be bumped into by someone who got up early, and my face will look ugly..."

After hearing Cao Si's reply, the two men looked relaxed, and then sneered rather disdainfully, but said nothing.

But they don't speak, but someone has something to say.

"What?!"

The night watchman roared and kicked him, but Cao Si dodged and kicked him in the air. He then cursed loudly: "You are such a talented person who has killed a thousand people! You usually don't do anything like eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, but now you can't do anything."

You're lying on the bed! You can make such a wasteful amount of money, you're so stupid! Where's your gourd of wine? Where's the wine!"

Cao's face turned red and he whispered: "Wine, I'm afraid that drinking will cause trouble. I, I didn't, I didn't dare to drink tonight..."

"Damn you, you really want to embarrass Yashisi's face in one night! Follow me, go back to the office, and see what Si Zheng does with you! Let's go!"

The night watchman kept yelling and cursing, grabbed Cao Si, and was about to pull him to the street. When he saw a few lights in the distance light up and the barking of dogs getting louder, he heard a man standing next to him yell.<

/p>

"Enough!"

Cao Si and the night watchman immediately shrank their heads and became as silent as cicadas. They all closed their mouths and did not dare to say anything again.

"Listening to this scandal just made my ears dirty. How you two solve it is your business. If you picked up the things, get out of here and don't be an eyesore!" One of them yelled.

"Hey! Yes, yes, the villain will get out of here right now, right now..."

Cao Si and the night watchman nodded quickly, picked up the hammer from the ground, thanked them profusely, turned around and left.

But just after taking a few steps, the night watchman grabbed Cao Si, holding the half-cut knife, and turned back.

I saw him crying and not daring to raise his head, and said carefully to the two people: "Young man, if you dare, I guess these two adults must be the immortal masters from Zhushanfang..."

It seemed that the first two people did not deny it, so the night watchman continued.
To be continued...
