Unconsciously, Xiao Guan walked slowly along the way, heading straight for the east gate of the city.And the moment he left the city, there were already 4 figures behind him.

Unprepared, Xiao Guan continued to walk outside the east gate.About 10 minutes later, a purple bamboo forest appeared by the river.

With the purple bamboo forest, there is the Jade Buddha Temple.

Before the Jade Buddha Temple, there was still incense, but it was actually a nunnery.Now, the teacher doesn't know where to go, the abbot looks at the spring breeze several times, and the Jade Buddha Temple has been abandoned for many years.

The moment I came to the gate of the temple, the rain in the sky suddenly became much smaller.Reaching out to test the raindrops, Xiaoguan took off the bamboo hat, and then slowly pushed open the half-hidden temple door with a "creaking" sound.

After that, his figure disappeared inside the door.

This time happened to be the evening that Xiaoguan and the rebel had agreed upon, and the sky had already darkened.

At the same time, there was no need to hide some figures, they slowly walked through the bamboo forest from all directions, and gathered in front of the Jade Buddha Temple.

These figures are all dressed in black official robes, with bamboo hats on their backs, black headdresses on their heads, and various weapons in their hands, including but not limited to iron rulers, iron chains, iron chains, water and fire sticks, sentry knives, simple knives... Wait, there are even two tiger head shields.

The leader among them is naturally the black-bearded Hanyang mansion captor Du Chong.Holding an iron ruler beside him is the prison chief Bao Shinan.

"Master, all three have gone in, let's get someone!?"

It was Du Chong's big apprentice who was anxious.

"What's the hurry, I have to wait for the thief to collude."

In Du Chong's view, since the three thieves met now, there is a chance that Xiao Guan will reveal the exact location of the buried silver to the two Shaanxi people in advance.In this way, after the prisoner is arrested, he may ask for the location from any person, and the workload will be much easier... In case Xiaoguan is hacked to death in a fight, or suddenly dies from fright, Didn't things go wrong?

So Du Chong was not in a hurry at this time: "Is there any arrangement at the back of the temple?"

"Brother Hu Er is guarding the back wall."

"Well, check the equipment. Let me say it again, save the life of Xiao Guan, and watch out for the two gangsters inside. They all cheered up Lao Tzu. I lost my life, but I can't make up for it!"

Because there are two real "high force value" rebels, Du Chong went all out this time.He called all his own private squad.Including the small group brought by Bao Shinan, a total of 12 people were dispatched.

These people are the real team of Du and Bao.If you bring more people, there is a risk of news leaking.

But 12 people is enough.With 2 guards off the back wall and 10 well-armed guards, with mental arithmetic or carelessness, it is definitely more than enough to deal with 2 Jiangyang robbers and 1 war scumbag.

After checking the equipment at the gate of the temple, Du Chong went through the action plan in his mind for the last time. After he felt that there were no omissions, he and Bao Shinan looked at each other and nodded at each other.

The next moment, with a soft shout, Du Chong, who was holding a simple knife, rushed into the Jade Buddha Temple first with his people.

The Jade Buddha Temple has been abandoned for a long time, and the wing rooms and apse of its two corridors have long since collapsed. Du Chong has already asked people to investigate this point.

So after rushing through the door, a group of people rushed to the main hall where the third Buddha was enshrined without hesitation... and only the main hall can still be used for people to meet and rest.

as predicted.After the group of arresters rushed into the main hall, they found that the thieves were sitting at the feet of the third Buddha and warming themselves by the fire.

Without command, the seasoned guards formed a semicircle in an instant, surrounding the three criminals sitting there warming up in a T-shape.All of a sudden, seven kinds of weapons were released, pointing at the thief, and the atmosphere on the field became tense.

The next moment, the three thieves sitting on the rotten bricks slowly raised their heads.

But Du Chong and his gang all took a step back: the three of them all wore a strangely shaped elephant face mask.Except for the two pieces of glass around the eye sockets, a long gray nose was connected to an iron box on the thief's waist.

"What the hell is this?"

While taking a deep breath, Du Chong suddenly realized that his family had shown their cowardice.So he didn't care about 21, and opened his mouth to let out a loud shout to boost morale: "Good thief, use a mask to play tricks! When things happen, hurry up and let go!"

"Hehehe, Mr. Du, I never heard that someone who warms up by a fire commits crimes. What kind of kingly law is this brother breaking?"

At this time, sitting between two Shaanxi big men, leaning against the small tube of Shakyamuni Buddha, he opened his mouth in a leisurely manner.It's just that the voice came out through the mask on his face, so it was inevitable that it was a little muffled.

"This little tube actually recognizes me?"

Although Du Chong felt that something was wrong, but now is the tense moment of arrest, so he can't allow him to think too much.So he continued to yell: "Guancai, it happened that you hooked up with these two rebels, and you still dare to make excuses, shut up and follow me to the official!"

"Master Du, if it's what you said about Yun Ke Lai...hehe, Xiaogan has no money, who would have the patience to ask Tian Da about such nonsense."

Having said that, Xiao Guan stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of sundries mixed with joss sticks, paper, money, wood, and straw, and put them into the clay pot in front of him, making the fire more vigorous: "That's what my station master taught me. The nonsense that I made up is really countless...Master Du, I really am not a traitor."

"Nonsense?"

Hearing that Xiao Guan already knew what his family was doing, and looking at the three rebels in front of him, Du Chong's back felt cold, his scalp was numb, and his head was even a little dizzy.

Years of experience in participating in various ghosts on the front line made Du Chong instantly realize an impossible answer: he fell into an unknown trap today.

Forcibly calming his mind, Du Chong leaned on the plain knife with both hands, tried hard to control his shaking body, and asked in a difficult voice: "Stationmaster... who is your stationmaster?"

"My stationmaster... is the stationmaster. I can tell you that he is an old man, codenamed 'chemist'".

Having said that, Xiao Guan pointed to the brazier in front of him: "No, this is the meeting gift that the station master entrusted me to give to Master Du. How about it, is it delicious?"

Accompanied by Xiao Guan's voice, there were two big men from Shaanxi laughing loudly: "It's true, it's true, it's true!"

The next moment, the sound of "dang bang bang bang" sounded.All the guards, including Bao Shinan, first dropped their weapons one after another, and then stretched out their hands to grab their own throats, their eyes protruded, they said "ho ho", their legs kicked wildly... after a few times, they all not moving.

"Why...why?" The only person on the field who was still persisting was Du Chong, who was leaning on a simple knife, salivating, and stubbornly wanting to know the answer.

"It's easy to teach Master Du to know." Xiao Guan stood up slowly at this time, slowly stretched out his arm, and gently touched Du Chong's forehead: "You are a public figure, but you are cheating and cheating, and you should be deceived out of the city." Done...colleagues are going to save the rebels tonight, it's more convenient without the headhunters!"

"Uh..." Following Xiao Guan's finger, Du Chong fell on his back.

At the same time that Du Chong was dying, the two brothers Hu Er, who was watching the wind behind the temple, were also killed by the hand crossbow from the back.

At this time, the action team members who had been in ambush appeared one after another.They met outside the temple, waiting for the three of Xiaoguan to carry the body out of the back gate of the Jade Buddha Temple.

Not far from the back door is the river bank.At this time, a fishing boat had already approached.

Soon, the corpses were loaded onto the boat... Tied stones to feed the fish This is the oldest traditional handicraft, an intangible cultural heritage, commonly used both at home and abroad.

After finishing all this work, I changed into a clean outfit and hurriedly boarded the large transport ship of the Intelligence Bureau at the big pier outside Hankou Town just before dinner time.

After boarding the boat, Xiao Guan looked back.A dimly lit place, misty with rain and mist, is in the direction of Hanyang City.

I know that tonight in Hanyang City, there will be a key operation to rescue the rebels, but Xiao Guan is already in Hankou at this moment, and the gate of Hanyang City has been closed, so he will definitely not be able to catch up with this operation.

After sighing, Xiao Guan got off the cabin and saw his mother in the cabin.

"Mother, we're really going on a long trip this time. Rong'er will tell you in detail."

Chapter 663 Rescue the thief ([-])

It was night, the lights were dim, and it was raining heavily.

The rain, which had already fallen in the afternoon, became more and more intense after nightfall.Not long after, the three towns of Wuhan were firmly covered by heavy rain.

Under such bad weather, the entire Hanyang City is tightly closed.Except for a few lights, the whole city has been plunged into deep darkness.

But there are always exceptions.

After midnight, a file of men in black appeared on the street.

The five men in black wore black hats, black ponchos, and black cowhide thick-soled imitation official boots.

The first person, with a strong figure and a Yukon night vision device made in Belarus, was Mao Tai, the captain of the Wuhan Station.

Night vision devices that rely on the principle of thermal imaging can also function in rainy nights.

In fact, Mao Tai did not need to identify the target at all.At this point in time, the infrared figures that could still appear in his line of sight, except for the night guards at various gates, were the night watchmen.

So he just needs to order to avoid in advance.

In fact, Mao Tai and his party went smoothly today: the heavy rain almost wiped out the number of patrols, and there were a small number of night watchmen and watchmen. Under such low visibility conditions, it was impossible to find the ghostly action team members.

In this way, it took less than 12 minutes for the action team, which started at 30 midnight, to arrive at the familiar Yaxi Street, outside the West Bianmen.

Here, it is necessary to use some "hard" moves.

Because the west side door was locked inside, it couldn't be opened from the outside, so after arriving at the ground, Mao Tai finished looking around, then took out a delicate bright flashlight from his arms, and made a gesture of climbing over the wall.

Flying out with the light of the flashlight was a steel claw with a tail rope.

After the three-legged claws firmly hooked the wall, the team members who had been prepared took off their cloaks to reveal their tights.This team member came prepared. His hands, arms, chest, abdomen and crotch were all covered with cowhide soft armor.The next moment, the team member quickly climbed up the rope.

After climbing up, the team member first used the protection on his body to forcibly erase some broken porcelain stuck in the wall, and then he sat on the wall.

Although it is impossible to equip the outermost lane with night watchmen and secret sentries, it is better to be careful in everything.So according to the plan in advance, after stabilizing his figure, the team member at the top of the wall took out the night vision device from his back waist and began to observe.

Soon, after observing the lane below, the team members lowered the steel claw rope from the other side of the wall.

The next thing is easy.The traditional old-fashioned door lock, the thin metal beam on it, can't stop the chrome vanadium steel blade of the Continental wire cutter.

With a speed comparable to that of the electric car thieves of later generations, the team members who climbed the wall cut the door lock in a few seconds, and then opened the west side door from the inside.

After the door opened, the four of Mao Tai entered in a file.

After closing the door and bolting it, Mao Tai and his party turned around and walked through the narrow passage to the second gate.

This door is easier to solve, because the door lock is out of the way.Draw a gourd according to the ladle, cut the door lock with wire cutters, and the lens of the night vision device slowly protruded from the crack in the door.

Observing the outer room clearly, 5 black shadows slipped in through the second door.

Next, Mao Tai still took the lead, wearing night vision goggles and walking in front.Soon, bypassing the narrow passages and corners, the action team stood in front of the prison gate.

As expected, no secret sentries or patrols were found in the short distance - secret sentries usually protect officials and family members in the back office.The soldiers patrolling the front office will not frequently come to the prison to help the prisoners guard against thieves on this rainy night...

But that doesn't mean it's safe.Mao Tai knew in his heart that even if it was a rainy night, the inspectors would definitely inspect all the places in the front office, sooner or later, so time was tight.

So, the next moment, a team member stretched out his hand and knocked on the copper ring on the side door of the prison.

The sound of clanging copper rings lasted for several minutes.

During this period, the anxious Mao Tai, with his back to the gate, has been trying to observe the surrounding environment with the night vision device.

"Bless the general, God is beautiful..." Finally, Mao Tai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the small window at the door opened, and prayed secretly.

In the pre-deduction, the link of knocking on the door is the most dangerous, because it is the only uncontrollable link and is easy to be exposed.

So Xin's rain helped a lot tonight, covering up part of the sound.

The next moment, the small window opened, revealing an old wrinkled face with a large mole on the cheekbone, and a beam of lantern light from behind the window at the same time: "Who is knocking at the door in the middle of the night? I don't know if it's the prison." Is it heavy?"

"Hehe... heavy ground?" A sinister laugh sounded: "You are a janitor, you are like an ant, and you dare to brag in front of the boss?"

Speaking with a pure Wuchang Mansion accent, slowly raising his face, and looking fiercely at the prisoner, it was none other than Zhou Yi.

Hearing the condescending sarcasm from the people outside the door, the prisoner with a mole behind the door spoke politely instead.In fact, the tone of the other party is exactly the attitude of a serious civil servant in Ming Dynasty that Laozi has been accustomed to for many years: "Oh... I don't know where the job came from?"

"Humph."

At this time, Zhou Yi slowly took off the bamboo hat, and then untied the cloak, revealing the black gauze headdress and a formal official robe.The next moment, a roll of documents was thrown into the small window, and immediately after, a black lacquer waist plate was directly on the face of the prisoner with a mole: "This official is Wuchang. , I’m here to interrogate the key criminal, you open the door quickly.”

In the prisoner's subconscious mind, the official who was able to knock on the door swaggeringly at this time, first of all, must have been checked by the guards at the main entrance of the government office, and his identity is no problem.

With this subconsciousness, coupled with potential factors such as the other party's unintentional attitude, official robes, etc., the jailer let down his vigilance.

In the end, the illiterate prisoner glanced at the paperwork and waist badge, and opened the side door of the prison under Zhou Yi's impatient urging.

What the black mole prisoner didn't know was that two team members had already prepared hand crossbows on both sides of the door where he couldn't see... According to the plan, once Zhou Yi bluffed and failed to open the door, there would be It is necessary to shoot and kill the prisoner quickly, and use equipment to break through the side door and attack.

After the door was opened, five strange officials broke in silently.

Just when the last person gently closed the door and bolted it, the black mole prisoner died...Zhou Yi strangled him to death behind the door with his own arms.

Although Zhou Yi only scored 60 points in hand-to-hand combat in the training class, that was the standard among secret agents... Against ordinary people, Zhou Yi was at least at the silver level.

This is impossible.Tonight, anyone who has seen the faces of the action members must be eliminated.Otherwise, Zhou Yi and the others would just be sitting on landmines and working.

The first step is to knock on the door, and the next operation will be much smoother.

According to regulations, there were originally only four people on duty at night in the prison.Among them, there is one guarding the gate, two on duty in the second prison, and one in the final death cell.

In the office room behind the gate, there was originally a key to the second door.After solving the black mole jail, Zhou Yi and the others left one person to watch the gate, then lit the lantern, lifted the corpse, and swaggered open the second gate.

The two prisoners on duty were sleeping soundly in the office room. How could they have expected that the God of Death had come to the door, and the two were suffocated to death on the bed without a sound.

On the wall of the second class room, hanging on the wall is the key to the death cell.

……

After years of rogue life, living in the wind, sleeping in the open, and running wild, some people have already tempered their sensitive perception.So despite the constant rain, Tian Da, who was preoccupied, heard the sporadic noises outside right away.

Opening his eyes suddenly in the dark cell, Tian Da sat up slowly while listening carefully.

And there was a rustling sound from the opposite side——Tian San also woke up.

At this moment, the prison door suddenly opened.Rain, moisture, and the light of a few bright lanterns all rushed into the death row, catching Tian Da and his wife off guard.

Immediately afterwards, the fence behind the door was also opened.

Tian Da, who had already been prepared, jumped up and stared blankly at the visitor in official robes, not knowing how to answer... At first, he thought that there would be at least one Shaanxi brother among the visitors, but Tian Da did not find one of them. Familiar faces.

"Hahaha, brother is late, you two have suffered!"

Zhou Yi, who walked in quickly, stepped forward and began to use the key to untie the shackles on Tian Da: "Brother Tian, ​​brother's surname is Zhou, and he was entrusted to come here to rob the prison. Right now we are in a dangerous place, so don't ask about anything else. The most urgent thing is that the two of you will follow me out of danger first."
