Chapter 1746
When there are people patroling and surveillance in the front yard and back yard.
The best lurking location is on the roof, which is also a place that most people tend to ignore.
The night is dark and the wind is high.
On a night without moon and stars, even if there is a person lying on the dark roof, you can't see it from a distance.
Xiao Lingyue lowered her body, quietly fumbled to the top of the house, and gently pried open the tiles with a dagger, revealing an invisible gap, and looking into the house.
There were five people in the house, one more than expected.
Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows lightly and looked carefully.
The five people were sitting at a round table at this moment, with oil lamps on the table, which made everyone's face look unstable and their expressions look very ugly.
Sitting first was a middle-aged man in his forties dressed as a wealthy businessman.
Next to his right hand was the only old man, his hair and beard were white, and he looked like a accountant.
The remaining three are relatively young, about thirties, wearing coarse cloth clothes, tightened cuffs, hidden weapons at their waists, and each wears iron wrist guards on their wrists.
Xiao Lingyue looked down from the roof and recognized at a glance that the wrist guards on the hands of these three people were the same as "Li Bihuai".
They should be the three mysterious cloaked men who were followed by her and Zhan Beihan last night.
Are they all dead soldiers from Nanyan?
"What the hell is going on?"
The middle-aged man smashed his fist on the table with a grudge and said angrily, "Li Bihuai was suddenly killed, which disrupted our plan. Who did it?"
The old man looked gloomy: "According to the plan, Li Bihuai was responsible for covering it, and it was not convenient to get too close to us, so that after he was killed last night, we could not find the body as soon as possible. We only knew about it if someone from the county government came.
That's all.
But another accident happened to the county government. The imperial envoy who had originally agreed to arrive in the capital half a month later suddenly arrived early this morning.
When he learned that Li Bihuai was killed, the imperial envoy directly blocked Li's house.
None of us can get out!
Li Bihuai's body was also taken away. Before we could take a look, we didn't even know how he died!"
The middle-aged man said boredly: "How come he died is no longer important now! What's even more terrifying is that the house where Li Bihuai lives is not far from us and was killed in the middle of the night. Have you heard any abnormal movements?"
He looked at the three men in strong outfits with a gloomy face.
The three people shook their heads silently.
The middle-aged man laughed furiously: "Baoshi! The master sent you to escort, but you didn't even know that Li Bihuai died in the next yard! If the imperial envoy hadn't sent someone to block the house today, I'm afraid Mr. Yan and I are still kept in the dark, so that's how you do things?"
The three of them stood up and knelt on the ground: "The subordinates were dereliction of duty."
"Now I'm talking about the use of dereliction of duty!" The middle-aged man slapped the table heavily, his face full of anger.
"And Li Bihuai, isn't he very good at it? He didn't even say anything when he was killed. This is called good at it!"
""
The three of them were scolded so much that they couldn't raise their heads.
The atmosphere in the room was particularly solemn.
Xiao Lingyue lay on the roof, holding her face with one hand, and watching them biting the dog with interest.
Start arguing!
Get arguing soon!
She wished them arguing for a while, and the more they talked, the more information they revealed.
Old Yan also looked at the three of them unhappily, then turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Sir, please calm down. Things have happened, and it is useless to blame them any more. Let's think about what to do now!"
The middle-aged man asked, "What do Mr. Yan thinks?"
