Chapter 35: The Day of Murder and Arson
Feeling that Han Dong's hand on the collar was gradually tightening, the Yamen servant was shocked and hurriedly whispered:
"I said, I said, the Admiral lives nearby, only one street away from the Yamen!"
Han Dong said in a deep voice:
"Show me the way and take me there!"
Yamen servants dare not disobey.
At that moment, Han Dong held the sack in one hand and the yamen servant in the other, and ran in the direction the yamen servant told him.
After a while, we arrived outside a high-walled courtyard.
Outside the door, there is a pair of stone lions that only belong to wealthy families. The door is closed, with the words "Admiral's Mansion" written on it.
After looking at the Admiral's Mansion and retreating behind a big tree, Han Dong put down the officer and looked at him.
The yamen servant looked at Han Dong in horror and begged in a low voice:
"Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life. I have nothing to do with the admiral. I am a local. I just work in the Yamen to earn a living..."
Han Dong said nothing, took off the yamen servant's clothes and belt, tore them into strips, tied his mouth, then tied his hands and feet, and carried him back to the yamen.
He found a secluded and uninhabited hut, put the yamen servant down, and whispered:
"Don't struggle at night. You can't go out to call for help until tomorrow, otherwise..."
The yamen officer, whose mouth was tied and unable to speak, nodded immediately.
Han Dong was tied very tightly. Even if the officer struggled, he would not be able to break free for two to three hours.
After threatening the yamen officer, Han Dong jumped out of the yamen wall and arrived outside the admiral's mansion again in the heavy rain.
After walking around the wall of the Admiral's Mansion, Han Dong climbed up the tree closest to the wall and looked inside.
The Admiral's Mansion is no better than a government office. Not only does it have a large number of servants, but there is also a team of personal guards patrolling the mansion.
It was late at night and most of the servants were resting, but the patrolling guards were still there.
The key is that these personal guards are not the ones carrying knives and guns, but all of them are holding foreign guns!
However, because of the heavy rain, the patrolling guards did not walk back and forth in the mansion, but took shelter in the corridor under the eaves.
Han Dong observed it carefully, got down from the tree, came to a deserted place in his memory, and jumped in with a sack.
The place you enter is in a remote location, and it is difficult for the guards to find it without moving around and patrolling.
Han Dong lurked inside and searched for a long time.
The Admiral's Mansion was much larger than Baozhilin, and it was raining heavily. The search progress was slow and the results were not ideal. Half an hour later, the Admiral's residence was not found.
Instead, in a warehouse-like room, I found a large amount of food stored up, as well as two large tanks of oil.
While searching in a corridor with a garden, footsteps suddenly came. Han Dong quickly turned around and hid in the garden outside the corridor.
The footsteps stopped when they arrived at Han Dong's hiding place, and a sharp voice said:
"Xiao Cui, I've just finished smoking and am getting ready to go to bed. You go to my room tonight. I'm going to watch a play with foreigners tomorrow. Remember to wake me up in the morning. Do you understand?"
Another woman's voice sounded:
"Butler, I understand!"
Then, the footsteps gradually moved away.
It takes no effort at all, Han Dong secretly thought.
He stood up from the garden and quietly followed the two of them.
It was probably because of Xiaocui's special status, the fact that she was accompanied by a housekeeper, and the guards on duty were freezing outside, so they just glanced at her from a distance and didn't pay much attention.
The heavy rain became heavier, and everything was dark. Only the lantern in the hands of the housekeeper in front had a little light.
Han Dong, dressed in black, deliberately avoided and followed all the way without being discovered.
After a while, when they arrived at the door of a house, the two people in front of them stopped. They must have arrived.
The 'housekeeper' reminded 'Xiao Cui' again not to forget to wake up the 'master' tomorrow, and then turned around and left.
As soon as he turned around, the 'housekeeper' saw a masked man in black clothes behind him, and he opened his mouth to shout.
Han Dong didn't allow him to shout, so he rushed forward and before shouting, he reached out and grabbed his neck, using all his fingers to force it.
With a "Gaba" sound, the butler's neck was scratched, his eyes widened and he slowly died.
Han Dong let go and put down the butler.
'Xiao Cui' in front heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground behind, and turned her head to look.
Han Dong stretched out one hand to cover her mouth, and slashed her neck with the other hand, causing Xiao Cui to faint.
After dragging the bodies of Xiaocui and the housekeeper to the far wall and placing them, Han Dong walked to the door and knocked on the door with his hand.
"Is it Xiaocui? Come in!"
A person inside yawned and said.
The voice was very familiar, it was the Admiral.
Han Dong pushed the door open and closed it behind his back.
The room was filled with smoke. The admiral had already taken off his coat and was lying on the bed, probably waiting for Xiao Cui.
The life of a feudal official is really corrupt!
Han Dong cursed secretly and looked at the admiral.
The admiral didn't look at the door at first, but when he saw Xiaocui entering but not coming, he looked over in surprise.
At a glance, he saw a man wearing black clothes and a black mask, looking at him with bright eyes.
The admiral was immediately frightened and shouted, "There is an assassin." He quickly reached into the pillow with his right hand and took out a musket. His reaction was not unpleasant.
But Han Dong was faster than him. With a whoosh, a stone was thrown out by him and hit the admiral in the forehead.
At the same time, there was a "rumbling" sound of thunder, but the admiral's voice was not heard.
There was a lot of blood coming out of the admiral's head, but he was not dead yet and struggled to shoot Han Dong.
Han Dong immediately added a few more stones, hitting the admiral on the head one by one.
The admiral quickly died, tilted his head, and fell on the bed.
With a "pop" sound, the musket fell from his hand and fell to the ground.
Looking at the admiral who died after being hit by five or six stones in the head, Han Dong shook his head when he recalled that in the movie, Huang Feihong easily killed Ji Shan with just one bullet ejected from his finger.
If your skills are not enough, you still need to work hard!
Han Dong, who had read countless novels, naturally wanted to prevent the admiral from dying, so he stepped forward and pinched the admiral's neck. In this world of low martial arts, it is impossible for a person to break his neck and still survive.
Looking at the admiral's body covered in blood, Han Dong remembered the two large tanks of oil he had seen before.
"We still need to light the fire, and we need a complete set of services!"
After picking up the thrown stone and putting it back into the sack, Han Dong turned around and left the house. In the heavy rain, he found the warehouse where two large tanks of oil were found.
The guards of the Admiral's Mansion were all taking shelter from the rain. The heavy rain made it easier for Han Dong, who was dressed in black, to move around.
Han Dong poured a tank of oil evenly in the warehouse, took another tank of oil to the admiral's bedroom, sprinkled it everywhere, and then dragged the butler's body in and threw it into the oil.
After doing all this, Han Dong clapped his hands with satisfaction.
With so much oil, no matter how hard the rain falls, the fire will inevitably start!
After groping in the dark for a while, he found a fire seal in the admiral's bedroom. Han Dong knew how to use this gadget a long time ago, after all, he had been in this world for a few months.
