Ma Wu didn't understand what he meant, and answered honestly: "Master Hou lives in Wharf West Street."
Zhao Han continued to inquire: "Is that the old den of your Lotus Society?"
Ma Wu shook his head: "The old house of the Lotus Society is in South Street, just under the city wall. In the past, when there was a flood, a section of the north city wall collapsed, and many houses were also destroyed. The brothers of the Lotus Society lived in dilapidated houses."
Zhao Han asked again: "How many people are there in Lord Hou's family?"
Ma Wu said: "Only his family."
Zhao Han said unhappily: "I'm asking you, how many people are there in Lord Hou's family? How many are men, how many are women, how many are old people and children! Is there a guardian?"
"There is no nursing home, only a woman who cooks." Ma Wu thought for a while, counting his fingers and said, "There is Lord Hou at home, his two wives, and how many children. Are the children three? Or four? ? Or maybe five."
The situation has been ascertained, and it seems that we can give it a go.
"Stand up and take me there!" Zhao Han scolded.
"Where are you going?" Ma Wu was a little confused.
Zhao Han said: "Go to Lord Hou's house!"
Boom!
The thunder is louder, the lightning is brighter, and the rain is heavier.
When they came to West Street, brother and sister Zhao Han were soaked through.
"This is the house." Ma Wu pointed to the courtyard door.
Zhao Han ordered: "Look more clearly!"
Ma Wu took a closer look, he has night blindness, how can he see clearly? He just fooled around and said, "I won't admit my mistake even if I close my eyes. Little ancestor, I brought the place, can you let me go?"
Zhao Han tore off the guy's belt, tied his hands and feet, then tore a rag to cover his mouth, stuffed it under the eaves of the door, and said to his sister, "Wait for me to come out, don't wander around!"
Zhao Zhenfang nodded and said, "Second Brother, I know."
The courtyard wall is not high, but it is very slippery after being exposed to the rain, and Zhao Han is young and short, so he failed several times and finally gave up climbing the wall.
He went back to check the courtyard door, and found that the gap in the door was narrow, and if he wanted to push the latch inside, he had to insert a very thin blade into it.
The scene was a bit embarrassing, Zhao Han made up his mind to kill, but he couldn't even enter the courtyard wall of other people's houses.
Being drenched by the heavy rain, Zhao Han's thinking became more and more calm as the icy rain slapped his cheeks. He searched carefully around the base of the wall, trying to find the low part of the courtyard wall, walked back and forth more than ten times, and saw a small hole not far from the threshold!
This thing is called a dog hole, cats and dogs can come in and out, but the real function is to drain water.
At this moment, the rainwater accumulated in the yard is flowing out from the dog hole rapidly.
The hole is so narrow that adults cannot pass through it, but children can.
The dog hole is a vertical rectangle. Zhao Han tried it, but found that he couldn't get in if he lay on his stomach. So, he lay on his side and rubbed in again, the height and width were just right.
The stagnant water gushing out of the dog hole made it difficult for Zhao Han to open his eyes and breathe, and was almost stuck there halfway, unable to move.
After finally getting in, the sleeves were scratched, and the arms were also worn out and bleeding.
This is a small courtyard house with only the main house (north house) and east and west wing rooms, and no inverted house (south house) was built.
There is a big tree in the courtyard and a large stone water tank.
Zhao Han ran quickly to the eaves of the north house, pierced a frame of paper on the door lattice, and lay there quietly waiting for the lightning.
Lightning came again, and Zhao Han could barely see the situation inside the house with the faint light.
There were tables, chairs and benches inside. It was obviously not a bedroom, but the main room of an ancient folk house. He immediately turned and walked to the next room.
He also punctured the window paper of the house on the left, Zhao Han listened closely, and there was a faint snoring sound coming from inside.
The child's arms are small, just enough to fit into the window lattice, and Zhao Han quickly touched the window latch inside. However, because he was too short, he had to push up with his fingertips, and within a few pushes, the wooden bolt fell off.
"Wow!"
The window latch rolled to the ground, making a loud noise, and Zhao Han was so scared that he quickly ducked down to hide.
The people in the house didn't wake up, they just turned over.
Zhao Han carefully opened the window sash, climbed into the room through the window, and tiptoed to the bed.
There was only one man on the bed, the long beard under his chin could be vaguely seen.
Zhao Han felt a little wrong, because he learned from Ma Wu's mouth that "Master Hou" has a wife and a concubine in his family, and it is common sense that he should not sleep alone.
He put the point of the spear to the man's throat, and put his hand on his muzzle.
Soon, the man had difficulty breathing and woke up with his eyes open. He subconsciously panicked and struggled, and his neck was hurt by the spear point.what? "Zhao Han touched a knife and ax on the table.
The woman replied: "Fire sickle."
Zhao Han stuffed the scythe into his arms, and blocked the woman's mouth.
After groping again, I found the woman's dressing table and put away all the jewelry. Before leaving, he found a comb and a pair of grate. He thought of the messy hair of the little sister, so he took the comb and the grate with him.
It was still raining heavily at the moment, Zhao Han took his younger sister out and found Ma Wu not far next door. He untied Ma Wu's rope and said, "Go by yourself, Lord Hou was killed by me. You led the way. I am the main criminal and you are the accessory. Do you know what that means?"
Ma Wu was shocked, and quickly replied: "I don't know anything."
"Smart." Zhao Han praised.
Ma Wu regained his freedom and immediately ran away in a panic.
Zhao Han took his sister's hand and ran all the way to the city wall in the rain. He didn't dare to hang out in the dock area because Deng Gui was covered by someone above him.
As for the recruitment of beggar gangs, don't talk nonsense, you have to deal with officials and generals, and you have to compete with other beggars for territory. If Zhao Han was an adult, he might still be able to play around, but he is only a ten-year-old boy now.
The north city wall of Tianjin collapsed tens of feet, and it has not been repaired for 20 years.
The two brothers and sisters waded through the muddy water, climbed in from the gap in the city wall, and came to Tianjin City quietly.
