Chapter 36 Killing
West of the city, Cao Mansion.
"Young Master, it's not good, someone's life is gone!"
Cao Yong suddenly woke up. With the moonlight, he saw Wei Hei standing in front of the bed with blood stains on his chest. He immediately sat down and said, "Are you injured?"
"It's not subordinates, it's the blood of the evil one!" Wei Hei replied.
Cao Yong was drunk and turned over and got out of bed: "Are there thieves entering the mansion? How many people are coming? Can the people in our mansion be injured? How many people have died?"
Wei Hei hesitated for a moment and hit the ground on one knee: "Young Master, please forgive me for your crimes!"
Cao Yong heard that there was no noise nearby and thought for a moment: "What happened in Liufang Hutong?"
Wei Hei nodded and explained his previous feelings clearly.
It turned out that since the two brothers Wei Hei and Wei Bai found out the details of the small courtyard of Liufang Hutong, they have been thinking about how to teach the prince Nersu a lesson and help Cao Yong extricate his anger.
Cao Yong was not easy to act rashly because of the status of Nersu as a prince, but the Wei brothers did not care so much. Cao Yong thought that he could not cover Nersu's head with a sack, and dragged it to the alley to beat him up; the Wei brothers were planning to beat Nersu. But the two of them were in their thirties after all, and they were not the impulsive boys who didn't use their brains. The two of them were planning to do things. Anyway, the woman came from a brothel, so they pretended to be a past benefactor and found an opportunity to teach Nersu a lesson.
The two brothers did not act recklessly, but they went to Liufang Hutong to watch the situation at night and greeted Cao Yong. However, Cao Yong had just returned home drunk at that time and was confused and understood. The two brothers thought that Cao Yong had agreed to this plan, so they went to Liufang Hutong to stare at him.

Zichu (11:00 pm), the Wei brothers wore black clothes to the yard of Liufang Hutong and hid it on the roof of the main room.
When they heard a man talking in the room, the two brothers thought it was the prince here, and they both thought that the opportunity was good. If they didn't want to, they listened carefully, but they vaguely felt something was wrong.
The two people in the room called each other "Yunniang", the other called each other "Mr.". The other said "Yunniang, you have suffered", and the other said "Sir, place me."
The Wei brothers heard something wrong, gently lifted a piece of tiles and looked into the room. The famous prostitute was still the prostitute, but the middle-aged man in his forties was a middle-aged man in his forties, the two brothers who had thought they were accounts or housekeepers.
The Wei brothers didn't expect that there would be such a change. They looked at each other and found it funny. Unexpectedly, the person in the room was still worried. Not only did he sleep with the prince, but he even hooked up with the servants in the courtyard.
Since they could blatantly keep someone in the main house, it seems that they must have received the news that the prince would not come to the evening. When the Wei brothers thought of this, they knew it would be meaningless to wait any longer, so they planned to return to Cao's mansion.
At this time, two extremely short barking sounds of dogs came from afar. Both of the brothers had been mingling in the world and thought the barking of dogs was wrong. It seemed that there were people walking in the night, and they were walking in their direction.
The two brothers watched the sound of quietness and listened carefully with their ears. Both of them were both internal and external, with clever ears and clear eyes far beyond ordinary people, and could hear the sound within a radius of a hundred feet.
I heard someone whisper: "There is a big locust tree in front of the door, it seems that it is this one!"
With the sound of "sudden" sequel, several people jumped into the yard. Suddenly, someone shouted: "Who?" He heard only the sound of swords and swords intersecting. In a blink of an eye, someone shouted "ah" and then the heavy object fell to the ground. It turned out to be two guards in the front yard. He found someone coming in and wanted to stop him, but was killed.
The Wei brothers could see clearly on the roof of the main room and were secretly shocked. There were four people coming, who were vicious, but they didn't know what hatred to the woman in the yard. Both of the brothers were not troublesome, and they didn't have the idea of "helping each other". Judging from the woman's behavior, they were not serious. Maybe someone from the past was annoyed and sent someone to do this. But now they are leaving, there will inevitably be traces. If the person who comes is not good or bad, they will get tired of getting involved. Therefore, both of them have the idea to watch the wall for the time being.
Although the fight time in the front yard was short, it was still shocked to the back yard.
An old woman on duty noticed something was wrong and shouted in her voice: "The thief is coming, come quickly!"
At midnight, everything was quiet, and although the terrified shouts could not be heard far, they were enough to awaken everyone in the backyard.
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a few night walkers came to her eyes and took a knife to her hands. The woman's head had been cut off.
The Wei brothers frowned, clenched their fists but were still patient.
"Mom, mom!" A little maid came out of the wing room and lay on the corpse of the woman crying. She was cut down just after she shouted twice.
The door of the main room opened, and the middle-aged man walked out, saw the body of the woman on the ground, and said angrily: "Where are you thieves from? How dare you commit such a murder!"
The person who came here was a little surprised to see a middle-aged man coming out of the main room and pointed at him with a knife, "Who are you? What kind of green onion are you? The new lover of 'Saixiangjun'? How dare you talk to me like this."
The middle-aged man was so angry that he shivered all over. A petite figure flashed out from behind him and stood in front of the thief: "Since you are here for me, why bother hurting the innocent!"
The one who came out was Lu Yunniang. Although she was so scared that her face was bloodless, her expression was a bit tough.
"Nonsense, let you hide well, why are you still coming out?" The middle-aged man angrily scolded and took a step forward, trying to protect Lu Yunniang behind him.
Lu Yunniang whispered softly: "Husband, even if you can be married to you for only two days, I will feel happy and will not be in vain for this life."
"Yunniang, if I had known that my fate was short, I would never let you wait for half a year!" The middle-aged man saw the fierce and evil people in front of him, and knew that he could not escape with his own and a few women and children, so he sighed.
The visitor sneered, "What a good show of separation between husband and wife. 'Saixiangjun', I'm useless to treat you like my master, but you are so ungrateful. I will definitely help you and let you live and die together." As he spoke, he raised his knife and approached the middle-aged man.
The Wei brothers were originally disgusted with this kind of slutty, and were unwilling to meddle in other people's business, but how could they remain indifferent when they saw an innocent woman and child die? They just took care of Cao Yong and were unwilling to cause trouble to the Cao family for their own reasons.
I didn't want it, there was another change on the field.
With his soft waist, Lu Yunniang turned to the middle-aged man and blocked him a knife. The blade slid over her face, slashed on her shoulder, and half of her forearm flew out. Before everyone could react to what was going on, Lu Yunniang's body fell down softly.
The yard was so tragic that even if Wei Hei and Wei Bai were so hard-hearted, they couldn't stand it. The brother, Heihuo, jumped out of the room and stood in front of Lu Yunniang and the middle-aged man.
The thieves saw two people jumping out of the room, and they looked like Lu Yunniang and surrounded them. The Wei brothers blamed them for being vicious and were not polite to take action. However, the other party had some skills and started fighting for a while.
After ten moves, the other party gradually became dissatisfied. The leader had seen the world and could not do anything. He entangled Wei Hei and shouted: "Brothers, please withdraw quickly and notify the master, that there is a master from the Prince Ping's Mansion here, and ask the master to avenge the five!"
Wei Hei and Wei Bai would not allow them to escape and leave disasters. They tried their best to intercept them, and finally killed all the three people who were planning to escape. The person who claimed to be "No Five" in the yard was seriously injured. It was obvious that the Wei brothers were asking for confessions. They sneered twice, and a wisp of blood flowed out of their mouths, and they died immediately.
Brothers Wei Hei and Wei Bai looked at the yard's corpses, feeling indifferent, but the two had not forgotten to clean up their funerals. I remember that there should be an old lady and a little maid who had not appeared yet. It seemed that they had been hiding. Sure enough, in the wing room, the two people who were scared and trembled were found. In the yard, the middle-aged man hugged Lu Yunniang's body and eyes were dissipated.
Wei Hei said coldly: "She is not dead yet. If you don't help her stop bleeding, you will be really dead!"
The middle-aged man woke up like a dream and quickly tore off half of his clothes to wrap his broken arm for Lu Yunniang.
When he saw that Lu Yunniang was indeed alive, the middle-aged man realized that he had not yet thanked his benefactor, and immediately thanked him: "Lu Dai thanked his two benefactors!"
"Who are you and what is your relationship with Lu Yunniang?" Wei Hei asked with his eyes narrowed.
"Lu is the seat of the Prince Ping's Mansion, and Yunniang is a slut!" Lu Dai replied.
Wei Hei and Wei Bai are not fools. Since those evil people dare to destroy the whole family at the feet of the emperor, they naturally have some support and say "Master Master". The person behind them must be the Manchus. The water in the capital is too deep and cannot be solved by force alone. Maybe they will implicate the young master and implicate the Cao family.
What should the four living people in the yard do? The two brothers were puzzled for a moment. Finally, Wei Hei glanced at Wei Bai and went back to Cao's mansion to ask Cao Yong for instructions.
Lu Dai was worried about Lu Yunniang's body and wanted to go out to find a doctor in the clinic, but was stopped by Wei Bai. Now it is time for curfew. If he goes out, he will not be looking for a doctor, but he is afraid that he will have trouble.
Lu Dai was not pedantic and didn't say anything he wanted to report to the official immediately. Now, there are not many good officials in the yamen. Such a big case has been committed in the capital. If no one takes the blame, when will it be completed? If you report to the official, it would be fine if you encounter someone with a little conscience, otherwise you might be bitten back.

West of the city, Cao Mansion.
After listening to Wei Hei's story, Cao Yong's expression was a little solemn.
"Young Master, it's all the faults of my subordinates, so you shouldn't be too troublesome!" Wei Hei felt a little guilty.
Cao Yong smiled and patted Wei Hei on the shoulder: "When you see innocent women and children being massacred, how can there be a few passionate men who can remain indifferent? If it were me, I'm afraid you would be as calm as your brothers!"
"But, what should those people do? They have seen our brothers take action!" Wei Hei was not a timid person, but he was unwilling to be found by Cao Yong because of his own reasons. He just took action just now, but now he feels troublesome.
"Never mind, wait until dawn is secretly escorted to Prince Ping's Mansion, and they probably will go there; if they go to the government after dawn, they will follow them. Anyway, your brothers have not shown their appearance, and at worst they can go back to Jiangning." Cao Yong said relaxed, but his heart was a little heavy.
Since we know that the yard is from the Pingwang Mansion and sent killers unscrupulously, the power behind it is so huge. Only higher-grade princes or princes can be ignored.
