Chapter 11: Breaking into Xie Mansion at night

In the evening, at the Prince's Mansion in the capital.

Butler Wang knocked on Yang Dejin's door: "My lord, I have your letter."

After two or three seconds, no movement was heard, and Steward Wang was about to knock on the door again, but Yang Dejin's door was suddenly opened.

"Give me the letter."

"okay."

Yang Dejin returned to the room, opened the letter and looked at it, nodded while reading it, and finally lifted the letter paper to the burning candle. The flames on the outer layer immediately licked the thin paper, turning it into a few pieces of ashes.

Yang Dejin went back to the main house to change clothes, found Steward Wang and said that he was not going to eat in the mansion today, and hurried out in the night.

In a certain restaurant in the capital, Yang Dejin was stunned for a while looking at the gorgeously decorated and brightly lit building, and then went straight into the restaurant.

The servant at the restaurant recognized Prince Yu's face, and led her directly to a box on the second floor without saying much. Yang Dejin pushed open the door, and there were already people feasting inside.

The man was a burly and sturdy man with a square face and a rough and vicissitudes face.

how to say? When Yang Dejin saw him for the first time, she recalled that when she was a child, she spent summer vacation in the countryside. The angry-eyed King Kong statue in a small ancestral hall a few hundred meters away from home scared Yang Dejin to tears every time he passed by.

When the man saw Yang Dejin coming, he put down his job and said in a rough voice, "Come?"

Yang Dejin nodded, moved a chair and sat opposite him: "Did you find him?"

The man nodded, put a piece of pork knuckle in his mouth, and said after chewing: "I believe you have seen it, the place is in a big house, not far from here, brothers are all staring there now." .”

Yang Dejin smiled and said, "Great, then take me there after you finish eating."

The man directly took the jug and drank it to his mouth. Halfway through the drink, he said, "I can take you there now, but Yang Langjun, are you sure that you are not looking for someone to do something bad? Although Kuai is a reckless person, But I also know that such despicable and vile things can't be done."

The scrutiny in the man's eyes, coupled with his vajra's angry face, really made Yang Dejin shiver.

Yang Dejin smiled shyly when he heard the words: "Of course I won't do anything bad. Dasheng people don't lie to Dasheng people."

Kuai Gang took a look at Yang Dejin's trembling look, and snorted, "It's really useless!" He had never been used to such bullying landlords and local tyrants, so he continued to drink after speaking.

Yang Dejin smiled with a stiff face: "..." It's obvious that you, a reckless man, are too scary, okay!

After drinking a jug of wine, Kuai Gang pressed the jug heavily on the table, which shocked Yang Dejin again.

"Walk!"

Yang Dejin was instantly happy: "Hey, okay, brother."

Kuai Gang glanced at her: "Charge it to your account, then pack three tables and take it to my brother."

Yang Dejin: "...Huh? Oh, this, of course, haha."

Kuai Gang: "Hmph!"

Yang Dejin: "..."

The two walked out of the restaurant, walked around three or four streets all the way, passed the intersection where the Prince's Mansion was located, and came to the outer wall of a three-entry courtyard. There were a few people watching in the dark.

Yang Dejin estimated the distance, and found that it was only about ten minutes away from his Prince's Mansion.

So close, is it really where Mrs. Bai is?

As soon as Kuai arrived, his brothers who were hiding in the dark all appeared one after another, shouting, "Brother!"

Kuai Gang nodded and said yes, then turned to look at Yang Dejin, who was two heads shorter than himself, and said, "Shall we go in?"

"Just... just the two of us?" Yang Dejin asked carefully.

"Otherwise? I can't let my brothers do this kind of thing of breaking into private houses." Kuai Gang gave her a sideways glance.

"...Okay then." Yang Dejin said with a curled lip.

"You stay here, and Yang Langjun and I climbed in from the back wall. You come in and look for us before the time for a stick of incense. Be careful not to be discovered by irrelevant people."

"Brother, let me go in with you!" a voice said.

"Stop talking nonsense, stay here, and go in before I come out by the time."

Kuai Gang was tall, but his movements were surprisingly agile. He climbed onto the wall in two or three strokes, and Yang Dejin, a weak chicken, couldn't fix it.

Yang Dejin spoke weakly: "What about me?"

Kuai Gang squatted on the top of the wall to inquire about the situation inside the house, and when he looked back, Yang Dejin was still looking at him with a chin.

Kuai Gang: "Tsk! Bring him up!"

A young guy with a shaved body came forward upon hearing this, put his hands on his knees, and said, "Come on."

Yang Dejin didn't understand a bit: "...what's coming?"

The guy replied: "You step on my hand, I will lift you up, and the elder brother will hold you."

Yang Dejin: It sounds a little dangerous.

But now she could only do as she wanted, the young man was very strong and sent her into mid-air, Kuai just picked her up with one hand.

"Brother Kuai, Brother Kuai, you have to protect, protect, protect me when you go down later." Yang Dejin grabbed the wall, his voice trembling.

"Understood, big man Leng, really worthless." Kuai Gang scolded contemptuously.

Yang Dejin: ...Hold on, they are in the same boat now.

Kuai Gang looked inside, and found that the courtyard was very large, only the front hall was lit, and the area near the backyard was pitch black, not even a servant.

Kuai Gang frowned his thick eyebrows, but he didn't hesitate much, and jumped down with Yang Dejin.

Before Yang Dejin said "ah", Kuai Gang covered his mouth.

Yang Dejin: ...All right, covert action.

As soon as the two of them landed, Kuai Gang felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird almost instantly, and Kuai Gang quickly moved Yang Dejin to the front yard.

But when passing the garden, Kuai Gang still heard the sound of the blade unsheathing.

He said badly to himself, grabbed Yang Dejin by the collar of his back and was about to run away.

But it was too late, there was already the sound of a long sword piercing through the air, and a sharp weapon was swung at him, so Kuai Gang had no choice but to let go of Yang Dejin and block the ill-intentioned sword.

I was shocked, I didn't expect that there were so many experts hidden in this ordinary house, and I could hardly feel the breath of the other party.

Yang Dejin had never seen such a posture before, and after she let out a low cry, she was knocked down to the ground and knelt. Although Kuai Gang on the side was very skilled, in the end he was outnumbered by two fists and four hands. He was surrounded by more than a dozen young servants in Tsing Yi holding swords, and he and Yang Dejin were taken together.

"Don't hurt your life." A flat voice sounded in the night sky, "I didn't believe it when the guard told me that there were suspicious people wandering outside the mansion..." The voice slowly approached.

Yang Dejin felt that the voice was very familiar, and knelt on the ground in a daze for a moment.

"I didn't expect that someone would dare to break into the mansion at night."

Yang Dejin yelled again in his heart, lowered his head and whispered to Kuai Gang, "Why didn't you say this is Xie Zhi's home earlier?"

Kuai Gang turned his head and glared at her: "How do I know who lives here? I've fallen here today." He spat angrily.

"Leave the little things to me." Yang Dejin was suddenly relieved.

Surrounding Yang Dejin and Kuai Gang were a group of ordinary-looking servants dressed in servant clothes, but each of them held a steel knife in their hands. No matter how dull Yang Dejin was, he knew that they were all guards in disguise.

Someone held up a torch to light the way for the master, and the guards in front stepped aside one by one.

Xie Zhi stopped in front of the two of them, looking down at them.

One is a burly man with five big and three thick, wearing a coarse cloth bunt and knowing martial arts, he is obviously a man in the world. And another...

Xie Zhi paused, frowned, looked at Yang Dejin and said, "Why are you?"

There was no humility in his tone when he spoke to Yang Dejin inside the palace gate, only coldness and guard.

Yang Dejin was a little frightened by his tone, was silent for a while, and then raised a big smile: "Thank you, sir, you are safe."

Xie Zhi raised his hand, signaling the guards to let go of the two of them first. Yang Dejin stood up and patted the dust on her body, and shrugged the painful shoulders that were pressed just now.

"Master Xie, since you have caught this king, let's talk about it?" Yang Dejin said calmly.

Kuai Gang on the side looked at Yang Dejin in shock when he heard the words.

Xie Zhi fixed his eyes, trying to see something from Yang Dejin's face, but saw that she was no longer flustered at all, Xie Zhi looked away and said, "The front hall, please, Prince Yu." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture Please move.

"Oh, and he's just a helper I found. He doesn't know anything, so let him go." Yang Dejin pointed at Kuai Gang and said.

Xie Zhi: "Don't worry, when His Royal Highness Prince Yu clarifies the reason for the late-night visit, I will naturally let you go."

Yang Dejin: "You're really cautious...Then you ask him to send a signal to his brother, otherwise people outside will rush in when they are in a hurry, and Master Xie will not be able to handle it, right?"

Xie Zhi glanced at Kuai Gang again, but didn't say anything, just turned around and led the way.

When he acquiesced, Yang Dejin turned around and gestured to Kuai Gang to hand it over to me, then followed Xie Zhi, leaving only Kuai Gang and the guards in place.

Kuai Gang: No? what does it mean?

"Tell me, the reason for His Royal Highness Prince Yu's visit to this residence is not because he wants to be friends with you?" Xie Zhi stared at Yang Dejin with piercing eyes.

Yang Dejin: "..." He still remembers that embarrassing reason...

Yang Dejin didn't answer his question, but looked around at the furnishings in the hall, pretending to be casual and asked, "Which room does Mrs. Bai live in?"

Xie Zhi's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"Pretend to be, the king has already found this place." Yang Dejin said while holding his left hand behind his back, and fiddled with the bonsai next to him with his right.

Seeing that the other party had pierced him, Xie Zhi's face darkened even more.

The teacher's wife took it back from Qinzhou with great difficulty. She didn't know how the person in front of her knew, but she would never allow anyone to hit Mrs. Bai, even if it was a dead end.

Yang Dejin saw that Xie Zhi's face was frosty, and his masseter muscles were tense. Knowing that Bai Qingyang's mother was indeed in Xie Zhi's residence, Yang Dejin heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xie Zhi was protecting her, so she was safe.

"Master Xie, don't worry, this king will not do anything to the current queen's mother. This king also knows that you will protect her very well."

"..."

"This king is here to make a deal with you."

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Xie Zhi: I didn't expect you to be interested in breaking into a private house at night.

Yang Dejin: Huh? This is a surprise check on how well your home security is doing.

Xie Zhi: How did you do?

Yang Dejin: Too good.
