Chapter 161 Late Night

Besides, Di Chun returned to the Governor's Mansion and hurriedly reported the results of the investigation to Duke Di. Di Chun took a sip of water and said, "They went out in three groups, but none of us followed them. We were all lost."

Di Gong sighed and said, "I'm sorry for you, go down and have a rest." Di Chun stood up and walked out.

Di Gong said to Chang Shi beside him: "The most urgent task now is to find out the specific time and details of their actions. We have no time to investigate secretly. To capture the thief, capture the king first, and immediately ordered the arrest of Yu in the Tianbao Silver No. Feng and others learned the details from their mouths."

Chang Shi hesitated and said: "Once we take action, we will definitely alert other enemies hidden in the city. If we scare the enemy and cause a large number of rebels to escape, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Di Gong pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "Soldiers never tire of deceit. Go back immediately and order the army and horse department to close the four gates. The Yamen issued orders to ban the market and clean the streets. Then they said that the Turkic army has arrived nearby. All shops and shops should be closed and pedestrians should go home. , Anyone who violates the order will be punished as a spy!"

Chang Shi slammed the table: "What a brilliant idea! Clean the streets first, then catch the thieves, so the news won't leak out! I'll do it right away!"

After a while, more than a dozen city guards pushed the thick city gate and closed the north gate with a bang. On the street, the officers and soldiers galloped on horseback, shouting loudly: "The Turkic army has arrived outside the city. All buying and selling shops have been closed, and pedestrians should go home. Those who disobey the order will be punished as spies!"

Zhang Yang also heard the news passed by the officers and soldiers, and Di Renjie's methods were indeed powerful.

"Evil comes, tell brothers not to panic, keep an eye on the situation in the Governor's Mansion, and if any thieves attack the Governor's Mansion, they will do it for me."

"Yes, Master." After saying that, he went to deliver the order.

Zhang Yang looked at the sword in his hand, success or failure depended on it. He hoped that Jin Mulan would not jump over the wall in a hurry.

……

There was a commotion in the street. Shops on both sides of the street were closed; pedestrians left the street. Patrol teams of the government and the army shuttled back and forth. When passing Tianbao Bank, a waiter closed the door in a panic. Ma Wu asked: "What's wrong?" The clerk said: "The Yamen issued a city ban order and a street cleaning order. It is said that the Turkic army is nearby."

Ma Wu was surprised: "It's only the third day. Didn't we agree to arrive in five days?"

The waiter beside him said nervously: "Fifth Master, the street cleaning order has been issued, and the contact with the brothers in the city has been interrupted!"

Ma Wu pondered: "This is not a problem. The time for the operation has been determined, and there is no need to contact us again. The strange thing is, how could the Turks arrive so quickly?"

At this moment, suddenly, the ground began to tremble, smoke and dust were everywhere in the distance, horses' hooves were like thunder, and a large group of people rushed towards Tianbao Silver.

Ma Wudao: "No, they must have discovered our traces! We must immediately try to notify General Yu and cancel tonight's operation!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" in front of him, and Ma Wu was shocked: "What's going on?"

It was too late, but soon, a large group of officers and soldiers had already rushed in with shouts and pushed everyone in the room to the ground. Ma Wu jumped up, smashed through the window lattice and flew into the courtyard. In the courtyard, dozens of archers shouted loudly, pointed their eagle bows at him. Ma Wu was so frightened that he lost his mind. Judge Dee stood in front of the door surrounded by guards, looking at him quietly.

At night, in the garden of the Dudu Mansion, the princess was walking among the flowers, accompanied by several maids.

Li Yuanfang stood in the distance and looked at this side warily. The princess glanced over inadvertently, and Li Yuanfang quickly lowered his head.

"Yuanfang." Duke Di's voice came from behind, and Li Yuanfang turned his head: "Sir, you are back."

Judge Dee nodded and whispered: "The news we just got is that they will take action at midnight tonight."

Li Yuanfang was shocked: "It's midnight tonight? There's less than an hour left!"

Judge Dee nodded: "The killers have been scattered in every corner of the city. They will attack immediately when the time comes." Li Yuanfang gasped: "Then, what should we do?"

A smile appeared on Judge Dee's face: "Don't worry, everything is ready."

At this time, the princess in the distance saw Duke Dee, walked over quickly, and called "uncle". Judge Dee smiled and nodded: "Qingxia, how are you these two days?"

The princess nodded: "What's wrong? You two look so mysterious. What are you talking about?"

Judge Dee said: "Oh, it's nothing. Let's talk some gossip."

The princess smiled and said: "Why do I feel that everyone is so weird today?"

Duke Di said to Li Yuanfang: "In a moment, please come to my room, Princess. I have something to say."

Yuanfang nodded. Judge Dee walked quickly to the main hall.

The rebels have made all preparations and are waiting for the right moment to act.

Zhang Yang was wearing his own clothes. Tonight he was wearing a gray Taoist robe, a purple sun crown on his head, and a sword in his hand. Evil Lai saw it and said, "Young Master really looks like an immortal from heaven."

"Don't talk nonsense, the young master of your family hasn't had enough time in this world."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Let's go, you all do your job tonight."

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Yang came to a large locust tree in the governor's mansion and sat on it.

Watching the people coming and going below, it’s so lively.

……

On a quiet night, a large room was filled with people in black, and Yu Feng sat cross-legged in front of the window.

There was a banging sound outside, and Yu Feng's eyes suddenly opened. This group of men in black, led by Yu Feng himself, was tasked with attacking the governor's mansion.

A group of men in black who were responsible for the prison robbery quickly came to the wall of the prison, and under the cover of night, they quickly ran along the city root towards the north gate. Officers and soldiers on patrol appeared in the distance. The leader waved his hand, and the people in black stopped and quickly clung to the city wall.

On the prison tower, two officers and soldiers stood quietly, motionless. The man in black "swish" two large spiked arrows, piercing the chest of the officer. The two sergeants fell to the ground without saying a word. How did the man in black know that they were two straw men! A group of men in black quickly jumped out of the shadows, threw the rope and hook onto the high wall, pulled the rope, quickly climbed up, and rushed into the prison courtyard. There was no one in the courtyard, and there was dead silence. The leader suddenly stopped and said, "No. There is an ambush! Escape quickly!" Before he could finish his words, there was a "boom" and ambushes appeared all around. The archers on the enemy tower aimed at the man in black below.

The traitor responsible for seizing the North Gate put on makeup and sneaked to the city gate quietly. The city guard sergeant noticed the movement and yelled, "Who is that?" Dozens of people in official uniforms walked out of the night. The officer in front replied, "We are one of our own, checking the night!" The city guard sergeant came up to greet him. Unexpectedly, the officer suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed it into the sergeant's chest. The people behind him swarmed forward, and in the blink of an eye, they chopped down the stunned officers and soldiers in front of the north gate to the ground. The officer waved his hand fiercely into the darkness, and the people in black hidden under the city wall quickly rushed to the tower.

The fake officers and men in black quickly rushed to the city tower, but there was no one on the city. There were no officers and soldiers guarding the city, nor any sergeants on patrol. Everything was quiet. The leader whispered: "Why is it so quiet?" The fake officer behind him suddenly yelled: "Fell into the trap!" Suddenly a rapid bang sounded, followed by a harsh sound piercing the air, and wolf-toothed arrows like flying locusts. Usually shot at people in black. Suddenly, screams rang out from the tower. The men in black fell one by one.

With a "boom", the cannon soared into the sky. The quiet Youzhou City suddenly became noisy, with the sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing shaking the earth. Time has come!
