Chapter 5: Night visit to Yang Mansion

When Dakui saw Tang He going out, he stood up and said, "I'm going too." Without waiting for Lao Huang to stop him, Dakui picked up the pole rope by the door and ran out, chasing Tang He all the way.

Dakui often walks in the mountains while chopping firewood, and is said to have extraordinary foot strength. Along the way, he could see that Tang He was more than ten feet away, but he couldn't catch up. Dakui became furious and ran with all his strength. However, the distance between the two was always more than ten feet away.

Zhang, they chased him for more than ten miles until they reached the foot of Jeju City, and Tang He just stopped. Da Kui finally ran to Tang He. He threw down his pole and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily from exhaustion, and looked up again.

Tang He looked calm.

Tang Hexiao asked: "What are you doing here, little brother?"

Dakui gasped and said: "I... took more of your... money. Whatever you do... I have to help... with you!"

Tang He smiled and said, "You can't do what I want to do."

Dakui said: "I don't believe it, I... just follow... you. Whatever you do... I will do it."

After Da Kui took a breath, Tang He said: "Okay, I'll make a bet with you. If you can follow me into the city, how about I lose you ten taels of silver?"

Dakui was surprised: "How much...how much?"

Tang He said again: "Twelve taels of silver."

Dakui thought to himself: "As soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning, just follow him into the city." Then he chuckled and said: "I'm here to help you, what's the difficulty in entering the city?"

Tang He smiled slightly: "If you can do something for me, I will give you fifty taels of silver."

Dakui was immediately stunned, "My dear mother, fifty taels is enough for me to marry a wife and build a big house." He immediately agreed hurriedly: "Zhongzhongzhong, we have agreed not to be a swindler!"

Tang He said: "A gentleman's words are hard to chase." After saying this, he took out a black scarf from his arms, covered his mouth and nose, and tied it behind his head, only exposing his eyes and above. Then he took off his coat, revealing the black clothes underneath. The coat was thrown away.

Throw it on the ground.

When Dakui saw it, he asked, "Don't you want it? What a nice coat." After saying that, he picked up the clothes and stuffed them into his arms.

Tang He didn't say anything. He walked to the corner between the city wall and the tower. He put his hands on both sides to make his body hang off the ground. Then he put his feet on both sides. He stood up and repeated this process. His body climbed up little by little.

In just one cup of tea, Tang He had already reached the top. He kicked off his left foot and grabbed the edge of the city wall with both hands and climbed onto the wall.

Da Kui was dumbfounded, "Aren't you going to the city tomorrow morning?", but he risked his life for ten taels of silver. Thinking of this, Da Kui picked up the pole and tied it to his waist with a rope. He walked to the base of the city wall and planned to imitate cats and tigers, but it started to rain and the wall slipped.

He didn't hold back his hand. After trying more than a dozen times, he only climbed less than a foot and fell down. His hand was cut and painful. Tang He spent a long time on the city before he poked his head out. Xiao You looked at it with interest.

With Dakui.

Dakui gritted his teeth and said: "After helping Brother Tang do the work, I have fifty taels of silver. Let's fight for it~!" This time it was much better, although it was very slow. At least Dakui climbed up little by little, holding up his hands every time

His feet used all his strength to prevent them from slipping. After nearly half an hour, Dakui finally reached the top. Tang He reached out and grabbed Dakui's collar. He carried Dakui into the city wall like a chicken.

.

As soon as Dakui's feet landed on the ground, he felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body, and he immediately collapsed to the ground.

Tang He saw it and smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to actually come up. This is not a place to rest. Let's go!" Dakui tried to stand up, but there was no strength around him. Tang He had no choice but to carry him along.

The city defense ladder went down the city wall.

Tang He and Da Kui walked along the street for a while. It was probably raining. There were no patrol soldiers on the street, and there was only the sound of light rain hitting the roof. Da Kui took out a pole from his waist and leaned on the ground.

, walking in circles with both feet still moving. Not long after walking, the sound of gongs was heard in the distance.

'Boom---boom-boom-boom', a watchman wearing a raincoat, holding a gong and a wind lantern. As he walked, he shouted: "It's the fourth watch," followed by "boom---boom-boom-boom" and "Close the door tightly.

Strictly guard against bandits"'boom---boom-boom-boom'….

Tang He picked up Dakui and ducked to the shadow of the street, waiting for the watchman to walk in. Tang He ducked out, but the watchman didn't have time to scream. Tang He had stretched out his hand like the wind to pinch the watchman's throat, and held him behind with the other hand.

The collar drags into the shadows.

Tang He said coldly: "You answer whatever I ask. If you dare to scream, I will strangle you to death." The watchman nodded hurriedly when he heard this. Tang He slowly let go of the watchman's neck. As expected, the watchman was honest and did not scream.

Tang He asked: "How to get to Lord Yang's mansion in Jeju Province?"

The watchman hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed to the far side of the long street: "Go along the street and turn right at the intersection. There are two stone lions in front of the door."

"Thank you very much" Tang He said and struck the watchman on the back of the head with his palm. The watchman fell to the ground exhausted without even making a sound.

Seeing this, Dakui asked hurriedly: "Did you beat him to death?"

Tang Heqi said: "I just fainted, give me the rope"

Dakui asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?" But he still obediently took off the rope and handed it to Tang He.

"Don't ask any more questions." Tang He tied up the watchman, then reached out and grabbed Dakui's sleeve, pulled off one sleeve from Dakui's body with a 'squeak' sound, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into the watchman's mouth. After doing this, he dragged Dakui to the toilet.

Walk.

Dakui said aggrievedly: "I only have this good coat, why don't you pull your sleeves?" Tang He said nothing and just walked forward.

Not long after, the two found Mr. Yang Luji's mansion as the watchman said. Dakui followed Tang He to the gate and walked along the courtyard wall to a remote area. Tang He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at

In the courtyard, the sound of pebbles falling to the ground came and there was no movement for a while.

Tang He then said to Dakui: "Wait for me here, I'll come back as soon as I go." He looked up at the high wall, jumped up on the wall, turned over and entered the yard.

Dakui couldn't help but said to himself doubtfully: "Brother Tang came here late at night, wouldn't he be stealing money?"

Just at this time, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the moon showed its head. Dakui hugged his arms and huddled in the shadow of the corner. It was late autumn at this time, and the coldness was more intense. He had not felt it when he just walked on the street. This was in the corner of the wall.

After waiting quietly, he felt cold. Da Kui couldn't help but shiver. He couldn't help but feel afraid, "If Brother Tang steals people's money, I am what they call a lookout here. If the government finds out, I will be slapped with a stick and thrown into jail."

.'

Heaven and man were at war in Dakui's heart, and nearly half an hour had passed before he knew it. Unexpectedly, something flew out of the courtyard with a 'dong' sound, and then fell to the ground with a 'dong' sound and rolled twice. Dakui was startled.

Taking a closer look under the moonlight, I was so frightened that I sat down on the ground. Just as I was about to speak out, a hand covered my mouth and nose. Brother Tang's voice came from behind: "Don't speak out, it's me."
