Chapter 238 Im afraid something might slip through the net
The shrill cries seemed to contain the deepest despair in the world, and in the middle of the night, everyone who heard it was horrified.
Huang An felt that the crying sound was somewhat familiar. After distinguishing it carefully, he immediately understood it, covered himself with the quilt and continued to sleep.
"Let me out, let me out."
"Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I never dare to do it again!"
The sound came from the backyard of the martial arts school. It was dull and shrill.
The voice was filled with desperate cries, which shocked everyone who heard it. After the initial panic and anger, they quickly came to their senses.
This sound was made by two unlucky brothers locked in a dark cellar.
When they thought of this, they felt speechless and very resentful after being woken up.
After all, I slept well most of the night, but I was still very angry when I was woken up.
Especially on such a dreary, rainy night when it is easiest to doze off.
As for that?
Called so miserable?
Isn't it just to close the cellar?
Could it be that the two of them deliberately committed misfortune and joined forces with Brother Huang to scare them?
Or don’t you want these brothers to sleep well? Do you want to suffer with them?
They decided to ignore it for the time being and let them continue barking. They would deal with the two of them when they got up during the day tomorrow.
No one paid attention to him, and the sounds of begging for mercy and shrill screams finally disappeared after more than half an hour.
...
At three o'clock in the morning, Huang An opened his eyes on time, washed briefly, then called Chen Yu and Zhang Yi, and the three of them went straight out of the courtyard.
Before he reached the door of the martial arts hall, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.
Even without looking back, Huang An knew who was coming.
Hearing the footsteps, he knew that the person coming was Luo Feiyao.
Looking back, it turned out to be Luo Feiyao, and she followed him again.
If this girl doesn't sleep, what on earth is she going to do with me?
Huang An was confused, but the expression on his face did not change. Instead, he raised his hand and said:
"morning!"
Huang An said hello. After all, he borrowed her name yesterday and was going to use her today. He couldn't be reluctant to even say hello, right?
Luo Feiyao was also stunned and replied "Morning."
She didn't expect that this guy who had ignored her for so long would actually take the initiative to say hello to her.
His eyes were surprised and his thin lips parted slightly.
"What are you doing so early?"
She asked again.
There is nothing to hide from her about today's actions.
Huang An motioned for her to follow him, moved his feet, and continued walking forward, explaining something by the way.
"Send people to guard the southern area of the city and watch the Li family and don't let them escape!"
Huang An's words were concise and concise, but Luo Feiyao and the other three immediately understood the meaning behind Huang An's words.
Huang An is going to take action against the Li family today!
Are you going to cause trouble at the banquet by sending people to surround you?
The three of them looked at each other and saw the eagerness in each other's eyes.
They are all people who have come into contact with the Li family’s criminal files. How can they not know about the existence of such a cancer in the Li family?
Although no one can be said to be a good person, those who have read the records and have a little bit of humanity will not feel sympathy for the Li family.
The Li family has their own fault for what they have ended up in!
A group of people followed Huang An and soon arrived at the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.
The road was full of mud, but no one paid much attention.
In this era, cement roads are a luxury, and stone roads are not something ordinary people can afford.
On rainy days, the road was full of mud, but they were used to it.
Not to mention, even Huang An himself felt that he was no longer as disgusted as he was at the beginning.
In front of a side door of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Yan and more than ten people were already waiting.
The crowd was quiet, no one spoke.
And inside the mansion, separated by a wall, more than seventy people were also ready to go.
They took off their military uniforms and put on the coarse linen clothes they wore every day, just like ordinary people making a living in the city.
Liu Long and seven bronze-skin realm warriors followed Zhao Yan and stood under the wall, talking quietly and waiting quietly for Huang An's arrival.
It seemed that they had just come out not long ago, and the team was not ready yet.
"Little junior brother!"
Zhao Yan heard someone coming from afar, and kept staring at the direction Huang An and the others were walking in. When he saw Huang An appear, he immediately came forward to greet them.
The two have not seen each other for two days. Although they have a lot to say when they meet now, today's task is really urgent and cannot be delayed.
So after a brief exchange of greetings, the two stood in front of the team.
Zhao Yan gave Huang An the right to speak, so naturally no one would have any objections.
"Listen to me for all arrangements today!"
Huang An directly issued the order, then took out the map given by Zhang Yi and began to arrange the mission.
"Please keep it secret. Regardless of whether today's mission is successful or not, each person will get two taels of silver from me! If it succeeds, five taels of silver!"
Huang An's verbal assurance made everyone present look overjoyed.
His generosity and commitment have reached these people's ears.
Rewarding money is always the best way to boost morale.
The mission had been planned a long time ago, and Huang An, Zhang Yi and the others planned it carefully.
Now all that remains is to assign and notify these people.
Although it is simple, it is also time-consuming.
Looking at the map, there were three people in a team. Huang An and the others made very detailed arrangements.
This group of people, numbering more than seventy-two in total, were selected one by one from among the more than three hundred people led by the border troops belonging to the Firearms Department.
They are not from Feng'an, Changluo, and Fen County, but from other Youzhou cities, and even from other major states.
The reason why they were selected is simple.
The Li family is a local snake in Feng'an City, with many informants and a dense network of connections. It is difficult to guarantee that they will have informants in the team. If the specific actions are revealed, it will be a big trouble.
Therefore, everyone did not stay here for long. After settling down their tasks, they dispersed in batches and followed the established route to besiege the Li family.
The heavy rain stopped last night, the sky was completely bright, and more and more people in the city got up early.
They put on simple disguises and blended in with the crowd inconspicuously.
The reason why they were asked to take action so early was to give them enough time to become familiar with the route.
Of course, the area where the Li family lives is very large, and it is far from enough for more than 70 people.
They also have helpers.
Their mission is to stop all the Li family members who are waiting for an opportunity to escape after noon tomorrow.
If the Li family had not noticed and had no intention of escaping, they would not have exposed their identities.
That area is a mixed bag of people and there are a lot of small vendors doing business. There are usually as many as two to three thousand people living there. If more than seventy people are crammed into it, it will be like pouring a bottle of ink into the sea.
It aroused the vigilance of the Li family.
After everyone had memorized the mission route clearly, they had breakfast again.
After collecting lunch money from Huang An, we finally dispersed. It was already past six o'clock in the morning.
In the city lord's palace, Huang An, Zhao Yan, Luo Feiyao, Zhang Yi, Chen Yu and Yan Long all gathered together to have breakfast.
Seeing Huang An eating without any explanation, Zhao Yan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said worriedly:
"The more than seventy people just now are not enough!"
Everyone present understood what Zhao Yan meant, and they all had the same idea.
More than seventy people were sent to guard an area where thousands of people lived, but they were probably too weak to do so. If trouble occurred, this number of people would definitely not be enough.
Even if there are seven copper-skin realm warriors in charge, someone will probably slip through the net.
