Chapter 41

There are nine people in Chen Xun's team, which is the main force, and there is a reserve team of five people behind them. They are responsible for blocking the front and back doors of the inn when the main team is in action to prevent anyone from leaking information or reporting to the officials.

After leading the people to the west wall of the inn, some guards stepped forward and set up a human ladder. Lu Hui climbed into the wall first. After confirming that no one was inside the wall, the others climbed in one after another, and the human ladder behind was also hoisted in.

After entering the hospital, they first looked at the door number of the room next to them to make sure the location was correct. Everyone tiptoed through the three rooms to the east and came to the door of the middle room.

Chen Xun poked a piece of window paper with his hand and looked inside. It was pitch black and couldn't see anything, but he could hear the snores of the people inside sleeping.

He patted Lu Hui on the shoulder and signaled Lu Hui to take action.

I saw Lu Hui pull out a short knife from his waist. The blade was only four inches long and very thin. He gently inserted it into the crack of the door. He pulled it sharply from top to bottom. He heard a click and the door bolt broke. .

Others were watching outside the door. Lu Hui and Chen Xun went in personally and walked into the bed. There were two people on the bed, a man and a woman. The man was Le Zhi, and the woman was unknown. He probably came from there. Looking for a temporary lover.

Maybe it was the sound of the knife breaking the door bolt that woke up Lezhi. Lezhi woke up in a daze and was opening his eyes to look outside.

Then under the bright moonlight, many more figures could be seen in the room.

"what!"

Le Zhi's exclamation just started, but it was stopped by Lu, and then he felt a chill on his neck.

This action naturally woke up the woman on the inside of the bed. One of the guards went up and slashed her neck with a knife. The woman who just opened her eyes rolled her eyes and fainted again.

"Tie this little lady up and gag her." Chen Xun ordered.

It's hard to control the time of being knocked unconscious. If she wakes up right after he leaves and yells at the police, he will be passive.

One of the guards came forward and started tying up the person, and at the same time tied Le Zhi's hands tightly.

"Tie his mouth up as well." Chen Xun pointed at Le Zhi without calling him by name. After all, he and the others were burglars and they should not know the identities of the two people in the room.

A long strip of cloth was strangled between Le Zhi's upper and lower lips and tied tightly to the back of his head, making it impossible for him to push it out with his tongue. At most, he could only make a whining sound from his abdomen.

"Search everywhere and take away anything valuable."

Several personal guards dispersed and searched the inside and outside of the forty to fifty-square-meter room carefully. I never thought that the harvest was not small.In addition to more than a dozen taels of broken silver and some copper coins, there is also a stack of jiaozi (bank notes) from a silver shop in Guangzhou. The value is very stable, unlike the money issued by the government, which has now been replaced by the old money. Paper is no different.

"It's almost more than 2000 taels. Why does he carry so much money with him?" Lu Hui said in surprise.

"He just came to spend money to ward off disasters." Chen Xun could understand. It is estimated that Lezhi brought almost all of his wealth with him this time.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Chen Xun directly ordered the evacuation. Two guards supported Lezhi, and one guard threatened him with a knife on his neck. Lezhi followed the others out honestly.

It was also a matter of climbing over the wall to get out, because it took a while to take Le Zhi out, but fortunately the whole process went smoothly.This is an inn. If there is movement outside in the middle of the night, no guest will come out to check, which saves a lot of trouble.

After a few people went out, they didn't stop and headed directly towards the identified residence. On the way, they encountered a wave of patrolling soldiers and were almost discovered.Because when he saw the soldiers, Le Zhi struggled fiercely. One of the guards failed to catch him and let him break free. The other guard was brought to the ground and made a noise.

Fortunately, Chen Xun was smart and learned a few meows. The soldiers were at ease for a long time. Although they stopped, they did not come to check and continued to move forward along the patrol route.

Chen Xun and the others breathed a sigh of relief after the patrols had gone away.

Looking back, Le Zhi was pinned down by four personal guards. Lu Hui pressed his head with his legs and covered his mouth and nose with his hands. Holding his breath for such a long time made Le Zhi Already rolling his eyes a bit. "Okay, let him go." Chen Xun ordered in a low voice.

Lu Hui let go of his hand, and Le Zhi immediately took a big breath, like a drowning person being rescued from the shore, desperately breathing fresh air.

Several of the guards who were holding him down also got up and began to punch and kick him.

Chen Xun quickly stopped him, lest the movement here would attract the attention of outsiders.

"Stop being so troublesome, or I'll kill you immediately!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Le Zhi nodded frantically.

Several people quickly arrived outside the residence. A guard climbed in through the low wall, opened the door from the inside, and everyone filed in.

"You go control the people inside, Lu Hui comes with me."

After several screams, the yard became quiet again. Chen Xun and Lu Hui dragged Le Zhi to the kitchen: "Get a basin of water."

Lu Hui obediently went to find the water vat, then took a basin of water from the kitchen basin and brought it to Chen Xun.

Chen Xun took out a stack of rice paper from the small package behind his back, which had been cut into a one-foot square size.

After all the preparations were done, Chen Xun looked at Le Zhi and said:

"I'll take the strip off your mouth now. Can you promise not to yell?"

Lezhi looked at the two people who had their faces tightly wrapped in cloth towels. He knew that he didn't have much choice now, so he nodded quickly.

Chen Xun stepped forward and untied the cloth on the back of his head and removed the cloth from his mouth.

The cloth was tied tightly and for a long time. As soon as it was taken off, Le Zhi immediately moved his mouth up and down. It took a while before the sore and numb feeling was relieved.

"I have some questions to ask you. You'd better cooperate with me and answer truthfully?" Chen Xun said cheerfully.

"Who are you? Your voice sounds familiar to me. We had a grudge before? Or is there some misunderstanding? You can't leave the city even if you kidnap me. If you have any conditions, just tell me. As long as it doesn't hurt my life, I promise to agree. You guys." Le Zhi said a series of words quickly like a chatterbox.

"Now I'm asking you. If you cooperate, it will be easier for everyone to talk. If you don't cooperate, I will use some means to ask you again." Chen Xun said.

"I remembered, you are Chen Xun, you are so brave! Are you going to rebel?" Le Zhi is indeed a seasoned veteran who has become a county captain. He is very capable, and he recognized Chen Xun just by his voice.

"Give me a hand and tie him up tightly." Chen Xun said directly to Lu Hui.

The two blocked Lezhi's mouth again, then tied up Lezhi's hands and feet, and finally tied him to a bench so that he could not move.

"Hold him down." Chen Xun said to Lu Hui.

Lu Hui walked up to Le Zhi's head and fixed his head firmly.
