Chapter 52 Visiting the Magistrate's Office at Night (2)
It was already late at night, and the moon quietly hung on the treetops. The city was quiet, and occasionally there were a few barking sounds of dogs.
Two figures flashed through the street behind the county magistrate's mansion in Chengzhengzhong, and rushed towards the backyard of the county magistrate's mansion. A figure was still chewing something in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Okay, it turns out that you are also good at martial arts. No wonder those gangsters can't catch you."
The figure in front said with a giggle and cry: "You are so embarrassed to say that you run the fastest and cause me to be chased three streets."
The figure behind said, "Who asked you to take so much? Take half of the 'kaka' and give them a bowl of soup. If you don't worry about it, who will you be anxious about it?"
The man in front said, "Then you still eat so much, look, you still have more than half in your arms now."
These two people are Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shisan. They have just finished getting things, or snatching things.
Mei Shinan stuffed a sesame ball into her mouth again and said, "There is no way, you can't waste it. It's hot and I can't eat it tomorrow."
Zhu Qingsheng had no choice but to turn around helplessly, and saw a wall covered with vermilion tiles in front of him, and said, "Is that the case?"
Mei Shinan reluctantly swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "That's right, even the walls of the backyard are covered with tiles. There is only one in the city, so it's impossible to make a mistake."
"Okay, let's go in quickly while there is no one now."
While they were talking, the two of them had already run under the vermilion wall. Zhu Qingsheng looked around and found that there was no one. After he jumped, he jumped onto the wall and stepped on the vermilion wall without any sound.
"And I, I won't be as good as you." Mei Shinan said lowered her voice.
"I understand." Zhu Qingsheng leaned on the wall and stretched out his right hand.
Mei Shinan hurriedly stuffed the pastry in her arms and put her hand into Zhu Qingsheng's hand. Zhu Qingsheng tightened his clench and suddenly felt that his hand was extremely greasy and sticky. I don't know how much oil and meat were stained, so he hurriedly pulled him upwards. Unexpectedly, Mei Shinan's hand was greasy, and his strength was wrong. He pulled his head over and couldn't control himself. The two fell into the wall together.
With a "thump", the two of them fell firmly to the ground.
Fortunately, both of them knew that this was in the county magistrate's mansion, so they didn't dare to let out a breath. They could only grin and endure the pain, and lay on the ground for a long time but didn't get up.
Mei Shinan never saw no one coming, and said in a voice: "What did you do with such a strong force? My arm hurts when I fell."
Zhu Qingsheng said: "You are so embarrassed to say that if you hadn't eaten so much and your hands were not slipping properly, I wouldn't have used the wrong force."
Mei Shi was quite embarrassed when she heard the ugliness. She hurriedly grabbed two handfuls of soil on the ground, grind away the oil in her hands, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Okay, I see no one is coming at this time. Let's go quickly. Don't you say you still have to look at the body?"
The last sentence is the most effective. Zhu Qingsheng remembered the three eunuchs' bodies, and did not pursue this little matter and said, "That's right, let's go."
The two of them stood up and walked carefully along the wall to the front. It turned out that this was the back garden, with flowers and plants in rockery, but they couldn't see clearly in the dark night, so they could only see a vague outline of the black shadow.
Mei Shinan kept turning around and looked around, and said enviously: "This is the county magistrate's mansion. Look at this mountain and this pond, these officials will enjoy it."
Zhu Qingsheng whispered: "It's good, but I don't know how much money and money have been spent. Slowly, we're going out." As he said that, the two of them had already run to the entrance of the garden. After passing the entrance, the back hall, where the county magistrate and his family lived.
It was the first time that both of them did such a night trip. They were still a county magistrate's government office, and they couldn't help but be nervous and scared.
Zhu Qingsheng stretched his head and looked around twice, and was sure that no one came over. He waved his hand and signaled that the two of them tiptoed under the nearby house. They kept walking along the window again with broken steps.
Zhu Qingsheng was fine. Although it was the first time he entered the county magistrate's mansion at night, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he was not very panicked. Mei Shinan was extremely nervous. He was used to wandering and begging since he was a child. He had never entered the yamen and other places. He had only felt excited and fun before, but he didn't expect that now he came in and was so close to the county magistrate so much that he felt that his heart was beating and his legs were weak. If it weren't for not making any more embarrassment in front of celebrating the birthday, he would have quit.
Bypassing the row of houses, the two of them then leaned southward and walked under a bright window. Both of them held their breath, hugged their waists, slowly, gently, with almost no sound left.
As soon as the two of them walked over, they were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard a creaking sound. It seemed that some wooden door and window had been opened. A hoarse and bitter voice in the room said, "You are here."
Oh no, found out?!
The two of them were so angry that they didn't dare to take a breath. They slowly turned around, and there was no one in front and behind.
It turned out that they were not saying it to them, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this sound was very familiar. Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shinan remembered it. This sound was exactly the headmaster who led the constable at noon today.
A soft and sweet female voice chuckled: "Why, why is Captain Yu so nervous? Could it be that I can still eat you?"
The voice was soft and charming, with a deep affection and a bit of teasing, without any concealment, and clearly came over. Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shinan under the window suddenly blushed and were at a loss.
Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shishidao looked at each other. Could this woman be the wife or concubine of Captain Yu?
The man, known as Captain Yu, said impatiently: "When is it now? You still have the intention to talk about this. As the disaster is coming, it's better to quickly discuss countermeasures."
The soft voice chuckled, "My Captain Yu, I am just a little girl. What can I discuss with you? Do I discuss how to take me away?"
There was only a sound of pouring water, and the woman said, "Come on, Captain Yu, I'll drink this cup with my family first."
Captain Yu said bitterly: "My aunt, stop making trouble. Lord Zhou is not sleeping yet, so we have to be careful."
The woman smiled and said, "What can he do when he sleeps? So what if he doesn't? At that time, Captain Yu didn't care about this. He took advantage of his time to do business and would kill me at noon...why? Are you afraid now?"
Captain Yu sighed, "It's not this. You don't know. Three father-in-laws died here yesterday, and they died, but they even brought the Dongchang brand. The disaster is a big deal. Let the superiors know that we will definitely not be able to take advantage of it."
The woman said, "It's just right for the old man to carry the woe. Anyway, I have been with him for too long. Year after year, I have to be angry with his original wife. I've had enough of it. You can take me with you."
Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shinan immediately understood and looked at each other in disbelief. It turned out that Captain Yu had an affair with the concubine of County Magistrate Zhou.
