Chapter 342 Borrowing in the Middle of the Night (Please Subscribe for a Monthly Pass)
Jiayin's group just got off the boat, and they didn't sleep well before, so they fell asleep as soon as they touched the bed, and they slept very soundly this time.

I didn't expect to be woken up in the middle of the night. Just when I was ugly, I heard dense footsteps coming from the street.

Immediately afterwards, voices came from the inn. They must have been woken up, and they opened the windows to look out.

So for a while, the creaking sound of the wooden windows kept ringing, which was especially harsh at night.

The three of Jiayin woke up, moved to the window, opened it and looked down.

Outside the window of the inn facing the street is the main street in the city. People are divided into four rows and keep entering through the city gate not far away.

At intervals, four people held torches to illuminate the street, and the street was brightly illuminated for a while.

Although the inn they stayed in was small, the location was actually not bad, not far from the west gate of Guanhai City.

When they got off the boat, they came in through the east gate, and there was an east-west street in the middle.

At that time, I was walking west while looking for an inn, and when I was approaching the west gate, I found this inn with vacant rooms.

And now these people on the street came in through the west city gate.

Jiayin thought about the layout of Guanhai City. There are four gates in the southeast, northwest, and the east gate and south gate face the sea.

There are piers outside the two city gates, the merchant ship and passenger ship wharf to the east, and the fisherman's wharf outside the south gate.

The north city gate and the west city gate faced the inland side. These people came from the inland side. Could it be the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court to exterminate the pirates?
It should not be the Banyue Kingdom, because the Banyue Kingdom does not establish diplomatic relations with other countries, and has not gone to sea to rob merchant ships during this period, and the death of the Banyue King has been concealed.

Although it can't be kept for a long time, after all, there will never be pirates, and the surrounding countries will definitely suspect and send people to investigate, but it is definitely not now.

These officers and soldiers are most likely to destroy the pirates on Binghuo Island.

After this period of time has passed, Captain Han should have reported the pirates' arrest to the imperial court long ago, and the imperial court should have taken some action.

The Fang brothers also knocked on the door and came in, worried that the three girls would be afraid.

Fang Zhiqiang asked, "Are you all okay?"

Yang Huiyun and Liu Yuer shook their heads, "It's okay, I just don't know what this person is going to do?"

They were too sleepy yesterday, and went to sleep with their clothes on without washing, and now they are still a little confused.

Fang Zhiwen said: "It seems that they are not bad people, otherwise they would not be so blatant. It seems that this battle should be officers and soldiers."

"It can't be that there are pirates in the city, are they here to catch them?" Fang Zhigang guessed.

Fang Zhiwen shook his head, "It shouldn't be, with such a big fanfare, wouldn't those pirates have already heard the news and fled?"

Fang Zhi said: "Is it possible that they are preparing to go to sea? The pirates must be at sea, how could they be in the city..."

The rest of the people nodded in agreement, this is quite possible.

They looked down together from upstairs. Those people were all wearing dark clothes, and only the torches passed by to give them light.

There were quite a few people, the people in front could no longer be seen, and those behind were still entering through the city gate.

It seems that the team should be very long. In fact, the team didn't move too much, and they didn't stamp their feet vigorously. However, because of the large number of people and in the middle of the night, the sound of footsteps was particularly obvious.

Therefore, the people on both sides of the road were basically awakened, and they all looked out of the windows, but they were not bold enough to go out to see.

There were also discussions in the corridor of the inn.

Sure enough, with good eyesight, he saw that it was officers and soldiers, and said: "I'm afraid there must be some action, this is a group of officers and soldiers, and they should use the road to pass from the city.

After all, this is the shortest road from the west of the city to the east of the city, and it is a straight line. If you go around the city, Guanhai City is not small, and you can't go around it in a day.

Especially in the middle of the night, at most, it would disturb the houses on both sides of the road, and the people behind should not hear anything. "

"Brother, your eyesight is really good. You can see officers and soldiers, and I can see so many people. I was shocked just now, thinking it was pirates..." Another person said.

"Me too, I was dreaming, and I was awakened by the sound of footsteps, thinking that I really made a lot of money and attracted robbers." One also said, with some fear in his voice.

"Hahaha... Brother, you are so interesting!"

"Hahaha... yes yes yes."

Someone next to him was amused by him.

Everyone laughed for a while, and the person before him explained: "The reason why I immediately saw that they were officers and soldiers.

I didn't see anything else clearly, except that they were wearing soap boots under the torches. You must know that only officials in the government would wear these soap boots. "

"So that's it, that brother's eyes are pretty good..."

Then there was another exchange of compliments, followed by guesses about what the government was going to do.

It is roughly guessed that the troops were sent to wipe out the bandits at sea. After all, anyone who lives on the sea knows it, especially the merchants in Guanhai City. In recent years, the pirates have been rampant.

Although everyone didn't know about the pirates taking captives, there were quite a few merchant ships that were robbed before.

Coupled with the rumors of the Banyue Kingdom, and Binghuo Island took advantage of the fire to rob, many people who didn't know the inside story thought they were the same group.

Jiayin's eyes rolled, since the court didn't know about the death of Banyue's monarch, she could reveal a thing or two and help cheer.

Hey, I don't know if the imperial court finds out, it will help the neighboring small countries attack the Banyue Kingdom, or watch the fire from the other side.

Jiayin thought about worshiping the Lord of the Moon again. Now that they have entered Guanhai City, Jiayin decided to wait for the daytime before using her consciousness to look for it in various inns.

Of course, we should also take a look inside some remote or strange small courtyards, in case, like the other side of Jiangcheng, this moon worship leader also has internal support in Dayan.

This group of officers and soldiers was indeed quite a lot, and it took half an hour to finish their journey. It was already Yin time, and it would be dawn in another hour.

It was still early, and everyone went back to the room to get some sleep.

The three lay on the bed again, Yang Huiyun and Liu Yu'er fell asleep again after a while, but Jiayin couldn't fall asleep.

Her consciousness was floating around, and she went to Banyue Kingdom for a while, and saw that there was nothing unusual there, and there was still no boat to go back.

I looked at Binghuo Island again, and found that there were a lot fewer people on the island, and there were no people in many yards, especially a few larger yards that seemed to be where the boss lived.

Could it be that he got the news and ran away early!

This is very possible, not to mention that the pirates seem to have arranged internal responses in each city, let alone the third and fourth masters did not go back.

There is a lot of movement in the court, and the pirates have another bird to send a letter, so it is not surprising that they got the news soon.

Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Jiayin tried to cover Guanhai City with her spiritual sense to find suspicious courtyards.

This time, we searched from bottom to top, first looking for cellars and darkrooms, especially darkrooms and tunnels. Yards with these are more suspicious.

This search was really quite a lot, and I found no less than twenty courtyards with darkrooms and tunnels.

You must know that unlike the north, few people dig cellars to store grain at the seaside, so these darkrooms and tunnels are quite problematic.

Jiayin didn't search one by one. Some people had hidden gold, silver and jewelry, so she would scan them roughly first.

Take a look and ignore it, focus on the kind of dark room that seems to be inhabited below, especially the authentic ones.

Of course, it doesn't mean that those hidden rooms with gold, silver and jewelry are not suspicious. It's just that those are basically big mansions, which look like rich families at first glance, and it's normal to hide some gold, silver and jewelry.

If you don't find anything else, you can take another look.

Among the twenty places, three of them are authentic.

One is the location near the center of the city, and that street is full of big houses, which should be official mansions, or rich families with more background.

The tunnel in the mansion is very strange, it does not lead to the outside, but leads from one courtyard in the mansion to another.

Jiayin took a look at the entrance of the tunnel. The room looked like a study room, with many bookshelves inside, and the tunnel entrance was behind the bookshelves.

And the exit is another yard, which looks like the backyard of this mansion.

As soon as Jiayin entered, she subconsciously wanted to cover her eyes, but she just raised her hand before realizing that she was watching with divine sense.

Jiayin blushed and felt uncomfortable.

hateful!I saw something I shouldn't have seen!That obese lump is too hot for the eyes...

He hurriedly moved his consciousness outside the house, but he could still hear the sound of um, huh, huh, so he had to isolate his hearing first.

After observing the courtyard, there are two entrances, the front should be where the servants live, which is relatively simple, and there is only this one in the backyard, but the decoration is very luxurious.

There are two courtyards between this and the study just now.

In the yard with the study room, there are only two servants on duty. There are many servants in this yard, but they are all in front.

There is only one servant girl outside this room, and she is sleeping soundly now.

I can fall asleep with such a loud sound, if I am not too excited, or I have been drugged.

Jiayin is more inclined to the latter.

From this point of view, the relationship between these two people must be improper, otherwise there is no need to be so sneaky.

I looked at the yard again, and found nothing wrong, so I looked at the study again.

I scanned the study and found that not only is there a tunnel, but there is also a dark room behind a bookshelf in a corner!
This darkroom is very small, the size of a bed can be accommodated.

Passing through the wall with his spiritual sense, he saw a tall cabinet on one side, and on top of that cabinet was the Duobao Pavilion, where many valuable ornaments were placed.

Because there is no Jingjing, Jiayin is not interested at all.

Instead, there was a stack of letters in the dark compartment under the cabinet, and Jiayin used her spiritual sense to get the letters out.

Because there was no light inside, it was impossible to see the words written on the letter with the sensory sense, so it was directly received in the space of the Boundary Breaking Bead.

The space is very bright no matter day or night, so it is no problem to read letters.

After reading the letters, I found that they were all letters from some officials, but there was no information about treason or collusion with foreigners.

But you said he was normal, and Jiayin saw a few letters in it saying bribes to go to the peak.

Put these letters back intact, and then silently write down the location of the mansion.

He thought about going out to find out who the owner of this mansion is during the daytime, and then secretly investigate.

If it's something that harms one side, Jiayin will send these letters to the third prince and ask him to check the officials under his rule.

If he is still a good official, good news will be ignored.

Although Jiayin doesn't know the way of being an official, she still knows that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

There are no pure and clean officials who are officials in the court. Such officials will not last long at all. As long as they don't fish and meat the people, they are considered good officials.

Moreover, those who are greedy for money and lustful may not be able to do good deeds, and sometimes they can do more practical things than those officials who do nothing.

Because they ask for something, they are more conscientious, but those officials who seem to have nothing to ask for are sometimes more terrifying behind the scenes.

How can there be so many upright and upright people who are dedicated to serving the people, either for fame or profit, even gods are fighting for incense, let alone human beings.

And in Jiayin's eyes, the so-called distinction between good and bad is as long as it doesn't harm living beings.

Therefore, Jiayin is generally more tolerant of those who do not have lives in their hands, but those who have lives in their hands will be more serious.

Of course, it doesn't mean that someone who has a life in his hands is a bad person. In addition to whether the opponent has a life in his hands, it also depends on the breath on his body.

Like the soldiers who serve the country and the people, they have a lot of lives in their hands, but their aura is red and murderous, and it will definitely not be the kind of dark and dark aura.

Because no matter how many people they kill, it is allowed by the rules of heaven, and they will not be haunted by wronged souls.

The people who died under their sword may not be bad people, but they must all be enemies. Those people will not leave obsessions and want revenge.

Dying on the battlefield can be regarded as defending the country, so those people will not suffer in the underworld, and will be reincarnated quickly.

……

The second courtyard with a tunnel is in the south of the city, and the tunnel leads directly to another remote courtyard in the south of the city.

This yard is separated from the small courtyard by several families, so the tunnel was dug very long.

The courtyard is much smaller than the previous mansion, and it looks like a family with a little wealth.

The courtyard has two and a half entrances, and the other half is at the back, which should be used for servants and animals.

There are six rooms in which people live, like a big family, including the old, the young and the children.

Because it was still early and I was sleeping, and it was not easy for Jiayin to poke under the quilt to see, so after roughly scanning it, I poked my spiritual consciousness into the tunnel.

This is just a tunnel without a dark room. The entrance to the tunnel is in one of the half-entered houses.

The entrance is very concealed, inside a cabinet, which looks like an ordinary cabinet from the outside, even if you open it, you can't find it.

Only by removing the wooden board behind the cabinet can the tunnel entrance behind it be found.

The tunnel was obviously not dug in the past two years, and the green bricks inlaid inside have been seriously worn out.

Nothing was found in the tunnel, and the spiritual sense went directly to the remote courtyard connected to the tunnel.

The reason why it is said to be remote is because it is a city wall on one side, and the house on the other side is a deserted house.

The house must have been caught on fire, and the whole thing was burnt, leaving only an empty shell. I don't know if there was no one there, and it didn't turn over after that.

It was already daylight now, and the dark courtyard looked very eerie under the gray light...
