Chapter 21 Rainy Night

It was just dawn, and there were a few faint smoke rising from the city.
"It's broken! It's broken!"
The boy rushed into the inner room in panic. The shopkeeper stood up suddenly, and several strong men quickly came out and stood in the room.
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to ask, the boy hurriedly said: "It's bad, head of the house, the weapons we hid in Hunfan were found! I counted them, and a knife was lost!! Your knife!"
Several strong men around him suddenly panicked, looked at each other for a few times, and then rushed out.
But the shopkeeper stopped them.
He gently stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.
The boy asked again: "Did the Qi people discover us?"
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.
"You guys just wait here."
"No matter what, you are not allowed to go out."
After he ordered the strong men, he led the young men out of the door and walked in the direction of Huo Fan.
The Hun Fan exudes a strong stench. Normally, no one would be willing to get close to it. But at this moment, a bunch of swords and crossbows were randomly placed around the Hun Fan.
The shopkeeper stood here and said nothing for a long time, but the boy became more and more panicked.
"Is the Qi people trying to force us to see who we are contacting? Is someone taking it to report to the official?"
The shopkeeper didn't answer, he knew it wasn't the case.
In his mind, a person quickly appeared. After this person appeared, his figure began to grow in size in his mind. The shop owner was almost certain that it was this person.
Just a few days ago, a bully came from the countryside. He didn't seem right, and he even used their family's clan.
Who is that person?
He looked at the boy beside him and said, "Liu Taozi."
"Ah?! Did that savage do it?!"
"There's something wrong with this guy."
"Didn't you check him out?"
"I checked, it's from a small village outside the city, Son of Orion, simple"
"But the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong."
The shopkeeper pursed his lips and said, "Don't be anxious yet. The matter is now over. Even if you are discovered, you will just die for the general!"
"In these years, we have made a lot of achievements, and we will die without regrets."
The boy also calmed down and nodded, "That's right."
"Let's wait in the store for a few days to see the changes. You can hide these weapons first."
"Things have gone too smoothly over the years and we have all become lax. We can't do this again."
"only!!"
The boy stepped forward to bury the weapons.
The shopkeeper turned around and walked out of the side yard, picked up a long pole for beating fruit in the front yard, and placed the pole on the fruit tree. The tip of the pole could be seen from outside the wall.
A carriage passed by on the road in the distance.
A farmer carries dung and heads forward.
Soon after, the pigeon flapped its wings, said goodbye to its companions, and flew out of the city.
It jumped over buildings one after another, flexibly changed its trajectory, and completed one difficult action after another in mid-air.
When the pigeon spread its wings and was about to fly over the city wall, a sound broke through the air.
“Whoosh!!!”
The pigeon's body was directly penetrated by the arrow, and its petite body fell straight from the air.
One person bent down and found the letter from the flesh and blood.
He is covered in armor and has a mask on his face, which is the mask that Taozi is most familiar with.
I spread out the small letter, but there was a series of ghostly symbols on it, which was difficult to understand.
Several knights stood on the left and right respectively, watching eagerly.
"It's Wei Xiaokuan's bandit army!"
A masked knight said angrily: "This beast can only use such dirty tricks! But he has no other abilities!"
The leader didn't say a word, and it was impossible to tell what his expression was under the mask.
"It's already the third one. Something big must have happened in the city."
Law room.
"Unfilial piety and disharmony are both unforgivable, but what if the two conflict?"
"Previously, there was a son in Yangping who insulted his father, and his younger brother tied him up and beat him. If someone reported it to the official, what should I do?"
Everyone fell into deep thought.
"It is a serious crime to beat one's father."
Someone said.
Lu Qubing shook his head.
"I'm not here to teach you how to judge. We cannot judge such a serious crime."
"As an official, you should know that there are serious consequences for not being pardoned. After reporting to the official, the officials rushed to the local area, arrested the two brothers for unfilial piety and disharmony, and brought them to trial."
"This actually made the onlookers shocked and angry, and some scholars reprimanded: Why arrest a filial and righteous person?"
"They jointly signed a letter and the three officials involved in the arrest were dismissed, and even the local county magistrate was demoted."
Lu Qubing told many details, as if he was at the scene at that time.
"Therefore, when making arrests and other matters, you must pay more attention to the reactions of the people around you, especially when there are many people watching, and you must pay more attention to their emotions. You must not go against the will of the people and let the situation slip."
What Lu Qubing said are very simple principles, but they are still very useful for newcomers who have no experience.
Everyone listened very seriously.
Lu Qubing felt his voice was hoarse. He looked up at the time and then stood up and decided to end today's class.
Everyone thanked me again.
Lu Qubing was in a really good mood. He looked around and walked to Taozi's side.
"Ha, that guy knew that his strategy was useless, so he didn't want to disturb us! You see, he didn't even go out today!"
Lu Qubing looked in the direction of Kou Liuwu.
"He also knows that he has been exposed!"
Liu Taozi ignored him, put away the book, turned around and returned to the house.
Taozi usually went home to read, but today, he rarely put the book aside, closed his eyes and started to sleep.
Lu Qubing followed him into the house. He originally had a lot to say to him, but seeing Taozi's appearance, he could only hold it in his heart.
If I hold it in like this, I will hold it in until night.
Lu Qubing was particularly surprised. He had never seen Taozi sleeping for such a long time. Several times, he couldn't help but want to stretch out his hand and sniff.
But seeing Taozi's belly rise and fall slowly, he gave up the idea.
He is a little afraid of Taozi.
Tao Zi is different from his father, not as fiery as his father.
But everyone thinks that Taozi has a bad temper, even though he has always been taciturn and always calm.
Lu Qubing's mood also became a little bad. He was so full of words that he couldn't talk to him!!
He sat aside and looked at Tao Zi eagerly, hoping that he would get up early.
Until night, Tao Zi got up once, went to the toilet, and then lay down again.
At some point, a strong wind blew outside.
The strong wind howled by, and the newly built Hefan Tower also groaned in the wind.
The weather is terrible, but it's perfect for sleeping.
Amidst the sound of the wind, Lu Qubing quickly fell asleep.
Taozi walked out of the door, the sound of wind mixed with the drizzle of rain, washing his body.
Kou Liu had been waiting for a long time. He walked out of the shadows, opened the package in his hand, and revealed the knife inside.
The knife looked extremely ordinary, with no carvings on the handle and no unnecessary patterns on the blade.
"This is definitely a precious sword, with this blade and this strength!"
Kou Liu admired and handed the knife to Tao Zi.
Hold the knife on the peach side.
"Are you going to Fei Zongxian's house? I can show you the way."
"No need, I already memorized the way when you went there several times before."
"ah??"
Taozi turned around, held the knife to her side, turned her back to him, walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped, "Go back to your room, pretend you don't know anything, and don't say anything."
Kou Liu watched Taozi's body disappear into the night step by step.
After returning to the house, Kou Liu couldn't sleep.
The wind was strong and crackling sounds came from the courtyard.
Suddenly there was a flash of lightning, and under the flash of light was Kou Liu's slightly frightened face.
Thunder resounded across the sky.
The heavy rain poured down, and Kou Liu couldn't sleep at all.
Thunder and lightning pierce the sky from time to time, and the sky changes constantly.
There was already a curtain of rain outside the door, making it difficult to see anything.
Kou Liu slowly lay down on the bed.
Did he succeed?
If you fail, will you be killed together?
Amid the complex overlapping of emotions, Kou Liu's consciousness gradually blurred.
"Ah~~~"
Lu Qubing yawned and stretched lazily.
He sat up and rubbed his eyes.
He looked aside and saw Tao Zi sleeping soundly.
"Brother Taozi! Get up!"
Lu Qubing shouted.
Liu Taozi slowly opened her eyes and sat up.
He finally changed out of his original clothes. He looked strange, but Lu Qubing couldn't tell what was wrong.
Lu Qubing walked out of the door, it was extremely refreshing outside.
The heavy rain has stopped, but the courtyard is extremely muddy and dirty, with almost no place to stay.
Lu Qubing frowned and muttered, "It's raining more and more frequently recently. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."
The students walked out of the house one by one, and the old man came with things to deliver meals, also complaining.
At this moment, the heavy sound of horse hooves came from a distance.
ps: Xiaokuan was deeply troubled, so he sent spies to find Daoheng's handwriting, and ordered people who were good at calligraphy to forge Daoheng and Xiaokuan's letters to discuss the meaning of the returned money. They also left embers and burnt traces like fire.
Order the spies to be sent to Chenying.——"Book of Zhou·Biography of Wei Xiaokuan"
Xiaokuan was good at caring for the emperor and could win people's hearts. All the spies he sent to Qi did their best. There were also Qi people who obtained Xiaokuan's gold goods and read books from afar. Therefore, the court knew the movements of Qi. Sometimes the commander Xu Pen, Xiaokuan,
Kuan Tuo used his heart and body to guard a garrison. The basin entered from the east of the city. Xiao Kuan was angry and sent spies to take it. The Russians beheaded them and returned them. This can lead to such a situation. - "Book of Zhou·Biography of Wei Xiaokuan"
