Chapter Five Hundred and Eighth Night of Sin

The room was dark and messy, but it was not like a dusty appearance like a abandoned temple, but it was like a lazy person who never cleaned and scrubbed.

"This guy is useless and can't be kept." Li Dutou said coldly.

Another man said: "Kill his son, and his wife is a little ugly, but we haven't been involved in meat for a long time..."

Lu Hanzi, whose left hand was broken, had a change in his face. Seeing that these three people were big and thick, and they looked fierce after turning against each other, Lu Hanzi was extremely afraid and begged for a while, and suddenly thought of something: "Although I don't understand, I know where Sun Fangtou lives..."

"Oh?" Li Du looked at him.

Lu Hanzi said: "When I was working in the workshop, Sun Fangtou was the one in our Sixth Floor. He knew how the things in the workshop moved, and he would instruct everyone to repair and replace parts from time to time. Several old men wanted to know how to build armor. As long as they caught him, they would definitely make it!"

"Where does he live?" Li Du asked anxiously.

Lu Hanzi replied: "I also live in the town. The craftsmen who brought their families live there. The workshop is too noisy."

After hearing this, Li Dutou gave a wink. A man next to him found a crossbow and another hid a short knife in his arms. Li Dutou said coldly: "It's better to be more regular, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."

Several people stayed in the broken yard until the hour of You, and then boldly took Lu Hanzi to the market in the south. When they arrived, the sun had set the horizon, and the market was in a messy light and dark. There were also official shops at each street entrance, with officials and soldiers inside, but no one caused trouble in the market, so no one deliberately checked them.

Li Dutou observed the atmosphere and felt that there was no big problem. Mr. Lu went out to drink last night but did not return, but a person with his identity disappeared. I am afraid that only his family would be anxious, and he could not even be shocked by the prodigal son in the local area.

With Lu Hanzi's fingerprints, Li Dutou and others drove a carriage to the front of a newly built house. This house is larger than an ordinary house and has a yard, which really looks like a place where a leader lives.

A man on the carriage said in a deep voice: "Do you ask this guy to knock on the door and ask if the person is there?"

Li Dutou said, "No need. The Sun surnamed will always come back. There are four people in total, including Sun Fangtou, and there is a boy of a few years old, a woman and an old servant. You stay and look at the carriage and this guy; let's climb over the wall, except Sun Fangtou and the boy, the other two will kill first when they see it."

The man next to him said, "The woman should be the wife of Sun Fangtou. We want to kill his family?"

Li Dutou sneered: "A woman will be killed if she kills her. If Sun Fangtou goes to Northern Han Kingdom in the future, he will find him ten or eight young and beautiful people. If he doesn't die, the woman will be incompatible with us. But that boy cannot be killed. If the Sun family's incense is cut off, it will be more troublesome at that time."

After several people discussed it, Li Dutou and a subordinate holding a crossbow touched the wall of the courtyard. Li Dutou was not afraid at all at this time. He was a personal military general under Zhao Kuangyin and had been killed on the battlefield for a long time. He had never done such a thing, but it was not a big deal in his eyes... He even thought it was easy, and thought that as long as he planned it properly, he would do it without knowing it. Where would he catch me when he left?

Li Dutou has been in Tokyo until now and has done his funeral. He feels it is easy to commit crimes and laments what happened to those who were caught by the government. Maybe he is too stupid and stupid and doesn't know how to plan.

The two of them easily climbed over the courtyard wall. As soon as they jumped down, they suddenly let out a "woof" sound, which scared Li Du's head. A black dog was barking, but was grabbed by a rope tied to a tree, and was yelling there.

"Swoosh!" A crossbow arrow flew over, very accurately. The dog fell to the ground immediately and twitched with all his legs.

At this time, a door sounded a "creaking", and an old woman poked her head out with a lantern. She soon found Li Dutou and others standing by the wall. The old woman shouted first: "Who is it?"

The man holding the crossbow hurriedly took a crossbow arrow and was busy lifting the strings. Li Du rushed up with a short knife on his head. Only then did the old woman react and shouted in fear: "There are thieves!"

Damn! Li Dutou heard the shout and his forehead was dark. Mom's matter was messed up! There is an official shop in this place. How can I get rid of it when the official sends him?

Li Dutou ran after him without thinking too much. The old woman ran slowly and was caught up in an instant. Without saying a word, Li Dutou went up to accurately cover the old woman's face, raised his hand and stabbed her into her chest with one knife, then put her hand and threw her to the ground.

At this moment, a relatively young man walked out of the inner door and saw the bloody knife in Li Dutou's hand, and was stunned. At the door of the main hall behind, Li Dutou's subordinates also caught up with him and pointed the crossbow at the man.

"Don't kill randomly!" Li Du said.

The man holding the crossbow said, "Don't move around, or I will kill you with one arrow!"

Soon, a woman also walked out. The man holding the crossbow turned around and a string sounded "bang". The woman didn't even hum, and a crossbow arrow was inserted into her eyebrows and fell down. The scared young man should be Sun Fangtou. Seeing this, he stared at the woman with wide eyes.

Li Dutou ran up with a knife. Sun Fangtou was so scared that he took two steps back, put his back on the wall, and said in fear: "Who are you...? Why did you harm me?"

Without saying a word, Li Du pressed his neck with a bloody knife: "I told you to do anything, or you will die! Let's go!"

The two of them hurriedly left the main hall and left the hospital door. As soon as they came out, a woman was looking out of the door. Li Du turned his head and saw that there was no crossbow arrow on his subordinate's crossbow, and Sun Fangtou's arm was turned on his back. Li Du immediately rushed up. The woman screamed and turned around to run away. She was immediately strangled. Li Du stabbed his chest with one knife. Killing him with one knife was very accurate.

Li Du cursed, "Hurry up and put that guy on the carriage!"

"Here." His subordinates pushed Sun Fangtou, who was stunned.

Li Dutou grabbed the corpse's arm and dragged it into the gate of the Sun family's yard. As soon as he came out, he saw two figures coming from the alley. He didn't dare to stay, so he quickly got on the carriage and slashed Sun Fangtou dizzy with one palm. He said to the man who was driving the car in front: "Go away! Mom's like this..."

...

When Zan Jurun, who was in the workshop area, heard something was wrong and rode over overnight. Zan Jurun was a guest servant, and the armor had nothing to do with his position, but he was very interested in the new armor and changed the design of the new armor several times. Recently, he had a sudden idea, thinking that the plate armor was forged quickly, and the chain mail connecting the moving parts was made slowly by hand, and wanted to re-insert leather armor to forge some armor faster. So he was staying in the workshop area.

He rushed to the market, saw a leader of Zao Li, and asked, "Have you sent someone to chase the murderer?"

The leader responded.

Zan Jurun rushed to the scene of the murder first, where he found two crossbow arrows, which were on a woman and a dog. The crossbow arrows were shot very accurately, both of which were only on the head; and both were killed by killing them with one knife. Zan Jurun said immediately: "The murderer is definitely not an ordinary person."

At this moment, an official clerk clasped his fists and said, "There was another incident yesterday. A woman came to the official shop to report to the official and said that her man went out to drink with someone the eve of the past and has not returned yet. Bei Zhi asked and said that he was a disabled craftsman in the workshop... After all, he didn't care much about this. Bei Zhi didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so he asked her to go back and wait, and maybe the man would come back."

Zan Jurun walked two steps and ordered: "Wang Shu Ling, you will go back to the workshop area immediately, sign a consultation on Cinnabar, and transfer the soldiers stationed in the workshop to each ferry crossing in the Yellow River to guard the ferry crossings, and strictly investigate the people who cross the north!"

The Afang Office Order Wang Hong whispered: "The murder happened, Kaifeng Mansion knew to investigate. Are we meddling in other people's business like this..."

"Of course, Kaifeng Prefecture needs to be in charge, but now we have to do emergency work regardless of the cost." Zan Jurun said in a deep voice, "Look at this situation, if it is a spy sent by the enemy country to steal our armor-making technique, it is of great importance!"

He said to a green robe official: "You sent a constable to investigate clues in the market, are there any suspicious people interacting with the disabled craftsman? If there is any witness, draw the portrait."

Zan Jurun was paced back and forth there, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

But he was the envoy of the guest province and could not control the officials responsible for arresting criminals or guarding the gates; even the Jiafang Office Ling Wang Hong, who was familiar with him, had no authority, and he had only a small number of people stationed in Kaifeng Prefecture to transfer to them in the workshop area... In this matter, at least people from the Kaifeng Prefecture government office would have to come forward to launch a comprehensive search.

Zan Jurun, a person from Kaifeng Prefecture, was not familiar with him. But he knew even better, that is, when Guo Shao, his son Guo Shao, and Zuo You, a confidant aide, left the murder case, and said, "I will write an urgent report to the city and submit it to the Privy Council; then I will visit Zuo Shaoqing of Taichang Temple at night."

When everyone heard that they were all very high-ranking official offices and figures, they all looked in awe.

Zan Jurun took the seal and went straight to Tokyo City with two followers. He handed over the seal and checked it, claiming to have an urgent report. He, a guest provincial envoy, was also a minister of the court, so he took a hanging basket into the city.

After Zan Jurun returned home, he wrote a report first and asked someone to send it to the branch of the Privy Council outside Xuande Gate. There were people on duty at that yamen for twelve hours a day... However, the usual urgent report could not be sent to the imperial city at night, unless an enemy soldier entered the Central Plains and had such a major event.

Zan Jurun then went to Zuo You's house and went there overnight. Even if it was a friend, it was inappropriate to visit him in the middle of the night. Moreover, Zuo You was not a friend of Zan Jurun, just met him. But Zan Jurun felt that this matter was very serious and he didn't care much about it.
