Chapter 28 They Appeared!
A whole room of people stood up with whoosh whoosh.

Originally, Chang Ying was the least hopeful of Huang Ji's side, so he hadn't bothered to ask for a few days. Now when the progress is slow, he brought such news, which is undoubtedly exciting!
"Where is the man?" she asked.

"Just follow me!"

……

There was nothing to hide about the pursuit of the thief, and the cooperation of the Yamen was needed, so Cheng Xiao quickly got the news and came over.

Changying led Zhou Liang to the west gate to gather men to help out, and then led Zixiang to lead people to guard the other gates.

The place Huang Ji found was in a private house in the west of the city, half a city away from Zhizhou Prefecture.

Due to the large number of people going, we proceeded in batches.

"How did you find out?"

After arriving at the place, she looked around and asked Huang Ji.

Different from their stronghold that they had grasped before, this was an extremely luxurious looking house, and the neighbors were also very particular about the house. The flowers and trees flourished in the courtyard.

"In the past two days, the government and we have searched door to door, but nothing was found, so I went back to the place where they lived to check.

"It was found that their luggage was a lot less, and the goods they used to cover up their identities were also a lot less. So I guess they are still pretending to be merchants to evade searches.

"Then I offered a small reward and called all the beggars in the city to help with the investigation, but someone told me last night that there was someone I was looking for in this house.

"A few big faces among them are exactly the same as what I said! Then this morning before dawn, I came to have a look, and sure enough, I saw them haunting the backyard!
"The owner of this house is also a merchant, but his family moved to Jinling two months ago, leaving only a few servants to guard the house.

"The house has been entered several times. These people lived in the last courtyard, and the servants only cleaned it every few days, so no one was found."

Changying glanced at him, then at the house, and said, "Send a signal for Shaoqing and Zhou Liang to guard the back door, knock on the door!"

Huang Ji had to be ordered to do so, and then knocked on the door.

After revealing her identity to the servant, Huang Ji led her directly into the backyard.

The door leading to the backyard was closed, and the servants came over out of breath to stop them, but Huang Ji blocked them, kicked the door again, and it opened!
There were two painted-faced men squatting in the yard, startled by the sound of the door opening, looking at this side with frightened eyes.

Changying frowned again, and walked over.

The men immediately knelt on the ground, trembling as if they were sifting chaff.

"This……"

Huang Ji was also puzzled.

The parts of their faces that were painted were the same as those of the people in black that night, but how could such murderous murderers become so seductive?
"Who are you?" Changying reached out and patted one of them on the shoulder.

After pressing down her palms, her frown became more obvious, and she withdrew her hand: "Have you never practiced martial arts?"

"Master, please spare me! Lord please, please spare me!" The man who was photographed collapsed on the ground, prostrated himself on the ground, "The little ones are small people from the neighborhood. Two days ago, someone suddenly came here to arrest the little ones. Also injured.

"Little ones, little ones, I don't know what law I committed, and I dragged us out in the yard again this morning...Mr. Jun, please spare your life! Please spare your life!"

"Aren't there six people? How many more!" Huang Ji suddenly grabbed their clothes!

"In, in the house, they were, their legs were broken..."

The men tremblingly turned their heads and pointed to the house.

Changying's gaze was like lightning, and she glanced at the room behind them in an instant. Sure enough, there were two people lying on the ground and on the kang, with their legs twisted from below the leg cover in a very strange posture!

"It's not them!" Huang Ji's breath became cold, "The paint on the faces of those people is not so neat, it can't be them!"

Changying stared at them for a while, then took a slow breath and raised the sword: "I've been fooled."

Huang Ji splashed paint on their faces, they couldn't wash it off, so the target was conspicuous, but when all people, or some people added to share this characteristic, his "characteristic" is no longer a characteristic, it's like a drop The difference between a drop of ink on white paper and a drop on black paper.

"General!"

Just standing there, a yamen servant from Zhizhou's government suddenly came in from outside: "Something happened at the city gate! Someone took advantage of the fact that the yamen servant was called, and forced his way out of the city gate and ran away!
"Mr. Feng asked the younger one to inform you that he has brought people to chase after him! Our lord has also sent Du Touer and Yang Touer to follow!"

There was a brief moment of silence in the yard, and then Huang Ji slapped his thighs: "Oops! I fell into their trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain again!"

Changying put the sword back into its sheath, and said, "Take them all back to the yamen! Let's chase them!"
