Chapter 185 Murder and Arson

Zhu Da had heard of Fang Ming, but he didn't know that when he came to Huairen County, the heroic plot of the county town was not talked about when he was in Zheng Family. This Uncle Fang was qualified.

When Yang Shouwen published this name, he was somewhat looking forward to it. He hoped that the two big figures of Bai Dao could shock the two masked men who suddenly appeared, but the eyes of these two were indifferent and there was no fluctuation.

Could it be that it is from outside? Yang Shouwen was not at all relaxed when he thought of this, but was even more frightened. Such desperados from Chuanzhou and the Prefecture did not have any scruples in doing things. They had no involvement in the local area, so of course they were unscrupulous.

"Second masters, did Zhu Da hire you here? You don't need to answer. Do you know how much money Zhu Da has, more than 10,000 taels of money. They did a big business in Zhengjiaji back then, and this time they dug back the money. The young ones shouldn't have become greedy, but think about it, how big is this, and the two of you can take action against Zhu Da..."

The more he spoke, the louder the sound became. Zhu Da grabbed a ball of rag and stuffed it into his mouth, and said to Zhou Qingyun next to him: "I'll go and ask his wife."

Zhou Qingyun nodded, Yang Shouwen's whole body was frozen. Although he was bound firmly, he could still move his body. What really made him froze was fear. He noticed the eyes of the two masked men. Yang Shouwen looked familiar to such eyes. This was the case when the executioners in the yamen went to the court to execute. Their eyes looked at the death row prisoners were the same as those of these two young men looking at themselves.

I'm so unfair. I just want to make progress. Huang Bantou's backer has been defeated. Lao Liu has another house. Lao Zhou is the backer. Besides, you are an alien junior who has died. Isn't it just a pig or sheep with so much money? Is there anything wrong with my intention to make progress? Isn't this not done yet? The more Yang Shouwen thinks about it, the more excited he becomes, the more he becomes, the more he is afraid he just wants to make excuses, otherwise...

Yang Shouwen's wife was dragged into the main hall, and she could hear short crying and question-and-answer, a scream that stopped when she said it, and a muffled sound. Yang Shouwen had heard this sound several times, and the sharp blade cuts the flesh.

I saw the masked man lifting the cotton curtain, looking at him who was struggling, and making a chopping gesture to the other person. Yang Shouwen tried all his strength to struggle, but the masked man who was guarding him pressed him tightly and stabbed him in the chest with a dagger. Three other squads everywhere were doing this as the prey of the weak. Why... Yang Shouwen realized this until he realized it.

Zhu Da dragged the woman's body from the main hall and threw it back onto the kang. Zhou Qingyun used a dagger to cut the two of them away.

"I'll find the oil first." Zhu Da whispered.

Household lamp oil is often placed in the corner of the main hall, which is easy to use and easy to find. Zhu Da quickly got it and sprinkled directly on the Yang family's kang.

"Do you want to burn outside?" Zhou Qingyun asked in a muffled voice. Seeing Zhu Da nodding, Zhou Qingyun tore off some cloth strips from the kang, tied them to the legs of the disassembled chair, and rolled in the oil.

After Zhu Da finished all this, he threw the lights on the windowsill on the kang. The oil-dunked quilt was easily burned and immediately caught fire. Zhou Qingyun put the temporary torch on the fire and ignited it, and left the house with Zhu Da.

Datong is a border town in northern China. Every family has the habit of storing firewood. The more decent people are, the more they will save. The Yang family also has a lot of firewood and coal, which are piled by the wall. Zhou Qingyun quickly built a nest with firewood and threw the torch inside. It won’t take long to burn the firewood and the coal will burn as well.

There is no wind in the city at night, which is more appropriate for setting fires, because the fire will not be too big at the beginning, and it will be too late when it gets burned and is discovered.

After all this, the two of them listened to the snoring in the front yard. There was no change. They probably were not awakened. The two of them climbed over the wall and left the yard. After going out, they didn't say anything. They just walked quickly along the wall and turned two streets before they slowed down. Looking back, they could see a vague fire there.

"How many can you escape when the fire burns?" Zhou Qingyun asked suddenly.

Zhu Da walked forward in silence for two steps, without looking back, and continued to move forward, "I guess no one can escape. When I was discovered, all the houses should be burned."

"The two members of the Yang family deserve to die, but aren't the others? Do you want to destroy the whole family?"

Zhu Da didn't say anything about this question, and walked forward again. When Zhou Qingyun thought there was no answer, Zhu Da spoke: "If we want to protect ourselves, we have to kill people. Will the family of the killed person take revenge like us? In order to protect ourselves, we will put aside all the money..."

The two left silently for a while again, and Zhu Da said again: "Don't think about it after doing it. Master Yuan has said so many times. If you always think about it, you will get sick and you will be ruined. Besides, we have not finished killing tonight, and we still have to go to the Fang family."

The powerful people in the city are always lax and arrogant than those outside the city. They are protected by the city wall and always feel that they are safe and have no precautions for many dangers. Compared to them, Zheng Jiaji and the villages outside are different. There are many things to pay attention to in those places.

Of course, it is indeed much safer to have city protection. For most people, including many people with strong martial arts skills, towering city walls, patrolling strong team training, these are insurmountable obstacles. When they want to do something, they always have to think of risks. They can run outside the city, in the wilderness, in the wilderness, with continuous mountains and vast places. When they run out and hide, there is nowhere to chase. But in this city, you can have great skills. Once the city gate is closed, people gather to search, there is nowhere to escape or hide.

For the leaders of civil servants, the people have become accustomed to fishing and meat. They think they are tigers and wolves, they think they are born with strength and are naturally stronger than others. They take the precepts of the weak and the robbery as their own rules, and they regard the power of the government and the king's laws as their own strength. They think that ordinary people, helpless people, etc., have to slaughter them. They think that the fish on the chopping board are not resisting or any danger.

It is not wrong to say that all the people in the world in the Ming Dynasty have natural fear of the government and the king's laws. No one is willing to fight against the forces related to the government. They are tolerant when they can, and tolerate when they can. For civil servants and servants, this is their daily life and their natural law.

But there are always exceptions in everything. Everyone plays chess on the chessboard, thinking that everything can only be done according to the rules on the chessboard. Zhu Da directly overturned the chessboard. Since you are going to fish in the dry pond, you will be able to break the net to death. Moreover, relying on their skills over the years, if you break the net, you won't know where the fish is.

They didn't know where Fang Ming lived, but it was easy to ask. They followed the updater quietly, stopped a Min Zhuang who was at the end of the team, asked a few questions and got the answer, knocked the person unconscious and stuffed him on the corner of the street, and then went straight over.

Surprisingly and unexpectedly, Fang Ming's residence is not far from the house where Zhu Damai was, just across the street.

The area where the Fang family is located is much brighter than that of the Yang family. There are lanterns hanging in front of the door and there is also a door on duty. However, in the front door, the two sides are not so bright. Looking for a relatively dark and uninhabited position, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun support each other and easily flip into it.

As soon as the two of them landed, there were no people around them, but almost at the same time, dogs barking in the yard. The Fang family was a county tyrant who had been passed down for several generations. The rules of the houses were much larger than those of Yang Shouwen's family. However, this was not complicated. Unless the Fang family had a house or lived in another family, there were fixed rules for people of any identity to live in, and there would be no exceptions. Although they were just a lowly servant, they would always follow the etiquette rules of the gentry.

"Don't worry about the dog, find Fang Ming." Zhu Da whispered. He was used to saying a few words to resolve the situation in such an action. It was not that Zhou Qingyun needed him to give advice, and the two of them had a tacit understanding long ago.

Despite the commotion in the yard, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun still only took out the daggers and did not speed up their pace. They just moved forward along the base of the wall.

When passing by Er's ear room, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun stopped for a while because there were people here on night. This is the rule of wealthy families. Not everyone sleeps at night, and there are special people watching them all night.

"Why do dogs still bark?"

"Has the Zhu family been making trouble and alarming the dog?"

"It doesn't make sense to scream again at this time!"

There were already people in the yard talking so lowly, and some servants got up and started patrolling, but no one expected anyone to sneak in, and they could not think of this at all.

But Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were still moving slower and slower. It was not because the terrain was complicated, but because the dog kept barking, more and more people were getting up. No matter how big the houses in the county were, they were not big. Everyone walked with the lights, otherwise they would not be able to see clearly, but the risk of exposure was greatly increased.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun looked at each other, and whether to continue to sneak in or forcefully, exposing how to deal with it, it is all about chasing it in front of you.

At this moment, I heard a rapid gong and gong outside the yard. The sound suddenly came. The yard became quiet, and only the dogs continued to bark.

"Have you gone to the water? It's east!" Many people in the yard were alarmed.

This is the water gong that the updater sounds. In fact, it is the fire alarm in the city. Most of the houses are civil buildings and wood is used especially, not to mention that people in the north store firewood. Once a fire breaks out, it will be a big deal. If it spreads and burns to other houses, it will be a big problem. Therefore, warnings are given at night, and civilians and everywhere in the city will rush to put out the fire.
