Fang Jinshi walked to Jinxian Village and talked to Gao Chong. Gao Chong readily agreed. Shi Quan heard from the side and wanted to go. Fang Jinshi said no and went outside with Gao Chong.
Fang Jinshi walked to the carriage, opened the curtain and said to Liu Rumei: "You go back first, I will accompany her."
Liu Rumei poked her head out and said, "I'm going too, to be with Sister Cui. It's hard for you two grown men to watch in the middle of the night."
Fang Jinshi said: "Am I so unbearable in your mind?"
Liu Rumei said with a smile on her face: "I don't know about other women, but she is the world-famous Miss Cui, so it's hard to say."
Fang Jinshi was a little helpless, sighed and shook his head: "Okay, just take care of yourself and don't get into trouble."
Liu Rumei put down the car curtain and stepped back into the carriage, saying, "It's not sure who will take care of whom if something happens."
Of course, Gao Chong was embarrassed to sit in the carriage, so he sat in front and drove the carriage with Fang Jinshi. Liu Rumei's two subordinates drove her carriage and followed behind. Cui Niannu pointed out the road along the way, and after twists and turns, they arrived at the inner city in the south of the city. Under the wall, he stopped in front of a narrow alley.
Cui Niannu got out of the carriageway: "It's just ahead. The alley is too narrow to pass. Let's walk." Fang Jinshi agreed and parked the carriage. It was already late at night. Fortunately, there was a large family at the entrance of the alley with a lantern under the door. Faces can be vaguely seen through the light.
Cui Niannu stood on the carriage and wanted to get off. She had an injury on her foot, so of course it was inconvenient. Fang Jinshi walked closer and stretched out his arm: "Come on, I'll help you get off."
Cui Niannu hit him on the wrist that was stretched out in front of him, and cursed in a low voice: "Go away, I will do it myself." She squatted down slowly, stretched her legs and feet to slowly explore the ground, and then Fang Jinshi stepped forward. Without any explanation, he even hugged her down together with the money box she was holding. Cui Niannu stood on the ground, reached out and hit him on the shoulder, and said softly: "You are so annoying." Although it was She scolded him, but the spanking was only gentle, more like being coquettish.
Liu Rumei followed her out. Fang Jinshi was worried that she would be jealous and say strange things, so he took the initiative to help her down. Cui Niannu let him hold her down, and she almost dropped her shoes. She put the money box at her feet and squatted down. When I came to put on my shoes again, I heard someone in the darkness sneer, "Hey, hey." A slight breeze blew by, and a black shadow suddenly appeared from the corner of the alley, quickly passing by Cui Niannu, and grabbed the money box on the ground. Just run away.
Gao Chong was already alert, and he caught up behind this darkness in a few steps. He reached out and put his hand on the man's shoulder, and shouted: "Where are you going!"
The man who snatched the money box turned around sharply and kicked out two quick and fierce moves. Gao Chong fought with him several times in the dark and was immediately impressed. He held the money box in his left arm and only used I came to fight him with one arm, but after three moves I couldn't defeat him.
Two of Liu Rumei's subordinates rushed over, intending to surround the man and capture him. Seeing the two men running over, the man shouted, "Watch the escorts." Gao Chong was immediately alert, and in the gloom he saw that the man seemed to be taking out a weapon. An object was thrown heavily on the ground, and sparks immediately appeared on the ground, followed by a crisp sound, like firecrackers being set off during the New Year. There was a spicy smell in the air with the wind, but this was an open place, and the smell dissipated quickly. It was just that this man took advantage of Gao Chong and others to be stunned and ran away into the alley.
Gao Chong followed and wanted to give chase, but Cui Niannu said from the side: "No need to chase." Gao Chong was stunned after hearing this, and clearly heard Cui Niannu say again: "Stop chasing." In a moment, the escaping person took advantage of the familiarity of the terrain and soon disappeared.
Liu Rumei walked up and said, "Why don't you chase me?" She ordered her two subordinates, "Go to the front and have a look." The two subordinates listened to her order and were about to move forward to search again. Cui Niannu came third. Ci said: "There's no need to chase him, this money is just for him."
Fang Jinshi came over and said, "The one just now was Cui Wenyu?"
Cui Niannu defaulted to silence, which meant she admitted it. She paused for a moment and turned to the other person and said, "You go back, I will handle my own affairs."
Fang Jinshi said: "How can you, a woman who is so reckless, let us go back with peace of mind? I at least want to see with my own eyes that you are safe."
Cui Niannu gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you guys wait here for a while, I'll come when I go." After saying that, he turned and walked to an alley next to him. Fang Jinshi followed, and followed closely and said: "I'll go have a look."
Cui Niannu kept moving and said, "You really want to die but you are not afraid of death. It's up to you." Gao Chong also followed. Liu Rumei asked someone to guard the carriage and led another subordinate to follow.
Cui Niannu led a few people through the alley, and then crossed a very small river bridge, and came to a house. Although this house could not see clearly in the dark,It is very clear that the door is dilapidated and there is a lot of grass growing on the wall.
Cui Niannu stepped forward, banged the door a few times, and shouted: "Open the door, open the door."
There was silence in the darkness, and there was no echo. Cui Niannu suddenly became furious. Regardless of his injuries on his legs, he kicked the door a few times and shouted even louder: "Open the door, open the door." But everything was still quiet. Quietly, no one responded.
Cui Niannu turned her head and went to look for something at the base of the wall. Fang Jinshi guessed that she must be looking for a stone or something to break down the door, so he persuaded her in a low voice: "Don't be so impulsive. I'll try to scream."
Cui Niannu ignored him and searched for more than ten steps along the wall. He suddenly squatted down and stretched out his feet to stamp on the wall. Fang Jinshi came closer and could vaguely see that there was water on the ground and a hole at the wall. The hole was small. I don¡¯t know if it was a dog hole or for drainage. The hole was very small, and a small wooden fence was woven to separate the inside and outside of the wall. Cui Niannu was kicking the wooden fence with his feet. This small wooden fence was very weak. , kicked her down a few times, Cui Niannu squatted down and tore off the small wooden fence from the root, took it out and threw it aside, then lowered his head and got in through the small hole.
Fang Jinshi was stunned. It was unimaginable that a delicate woman like Cui Niannu, one of the two concubines in Beijing with unparalleled beauty and top-notch piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, would one day sneak into someone else's house through a dog hole in the sewer.
Fang Jinshi didn't dare to neglect, so he also drilled into the hole. Fortunately, the hole was not too small, and he could barely get through. He climbed through the wall and came to the yard. The yard was covered with leaves and there were many piles of them. There were no clutter, everything seemed messy and disorderly, and there was a faint smell of Chinese medicine floating in the air.
