If it weren't for the soldiers from the Palace Front Department maintaining order, the two-person-high wall would not be able to stop these people.
A tall, strong man asked from the back of the crowd, "Why are there so many people here?"
"Master Zhang has moved the fairyland to the mortal world. I heard he even invited fairies to sing."
"The fairyland has moved to the mortal world? And there are fairies?" The tall man thought he had heard it wrong.
"Yeah, listen."
Someone in the crowd said dissatisfiedly: "Don't talk, you're delaying others from listening."
The tall man had a sinister look on his face and listened attentively with his ears perked up.
The singing was really beautiful, much better than the one in the tile house, and the voice was so loud.
The tall man listened for a while, then quietly turned and left.
He walked for half an hour and came to the back door of a house. He stopped to look around and then knocked on the door gently.
After listening for a while, the small door opened from the inside and a tall man entered the yard.
Then, a thin figure appeared at the back door. He first lay on the door and listened, then fiddled with it for a while, and the door was quietly opened.
He looked around, slipped into the yard, and closed the door.
I tiptoed forward and soon arrived at a study.
The light was on in the study and someone was talking inside.
The thin figure groped to the bottom of the window, licked his fingers, then made a small hole in the window paper and peeked inside secretly.
A middle-aged man with blond hair stood with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy. "Wei Tong, so you didn't accomplish what I asked you to do?"
Wei Tong was the tall man. He replied, "My lord, Tianshi Zhang has summoned all the courtesans to the backyard of Fanlou, and Madam Ding is among them."
"What? Is Fanlou a den of dragons and tigers?"
Wei Tongdao said, "Fanlou was completely surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the Palace Front Division. The defense was extremely tight. Yang Tianwang and his men circled Fanlou several times but couldn't find any opportunity."
"Officers and soldiers of the Palace Front, are you sure?"
"Reporting to the Prince, I have inquired clearly and it is indeed the officers and soldiers of the Palace Front Department."
"That's strange. He's just a deputy envoy of the Jiaofang Bureau, but he can actually hire the guards of the Palace Guards."
Wei Tong leaned forward and said, "Prime Minister Wang, I heard that Tianshi Zhang has moved his fairyland to the backyard of Fanlou and invited fairies to join in the fun."
"Bullshit! You're talking about fairyland and fairies. Do you think I'm just a commoner in the market who's so easy to deceive?"
Wei Tong was so frightened that he bent even lower and said, "Prime Minister Wang, this is true. Although I can't get in, I went around to the back wall of Fan Tower and saw immortal light shining in the air, flickering, and immortal music coming out. The sound is very loud, and no mortal can sing that loud."
"Oh! Is there such a thing?"
"It's absolutely true! I can guarantee it."
The white-haired man pondered for a moment, then asked, "Since the matter has not been completed, why did you look for me?"
"Yang Tianwang and the others asked me if kidnapping Ding Dusai would be possible, but it would be impossible to do it in a short time. Could we kidnap her family?"
"Kidnap his family?"
"Ding Dusai has both parents, you see..."
"You bastard! Zhang Shixun likes Ding Dusai, not her parents. If you kidnap them, Zhang Shixun might be happy about it. Without his parents-in-law, he would have fewer troubles. He might even wake up laughing in his sleep... Tell Yang Tianwang that he only wants Ding Dusai, and don't try to fool me with anyone else."
"Yes, I understand." Wei Tong hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll ask Heavenly King Yang to think of another solution."
"If you can't get it done, don't come to see me."
"Then... the little one will go."
"Go away."
Wei Tong had just opened the door when he heard the man inside calling him again: "Remember, you must not let Yang Tianwang know about me, understand?"
"I know, but I will never let him know."
"Hmph! If anyone finds out, watch out for your hide."
After Wei Tong left, the man under the window also quietly walked towards the backyard and his figure disappeared into the darkness.
This person is the lazy monkey.
He went out of the back door and ran eastward. Soon, his figure appeared on the Tianwu Army's parade ground.
The barracks was quiet. The lazy monkey walked straight to Han Shizhong's window and knocked on the door gently.
"Who?" Han Shizhong's voice came from inside.
"It's me, Slow Loris."
"Slow loris?"
Then the door opened, and Han Shizhong grabbed the slow monkey by the collar and dragged him into the house.
"Tell me, who are you?" Han Shizhong asked in the dark without lighting a lamp.
"Little Slow Monkey, is he the spy sent out by the military commander?"
"Spy?" Han Shizhong quickly found a tinder and lit the oil lamp.
The oil lamp was powered by soybean oil, the wick was very small, and the flame was the size of a mung bean, barely enough to illuminate most of the room.
Without waiting for Han Shizhong to ask, the lazy monkey rushed to speak: "The thing is, I have something important to report to the military commander, but the military commander is in Fanlou, and there are soldiers from the Palace Guard outside, so I can't get in."
"Why did you come to see me?"
"Because I know you are Madam Ding's uncle?"
"Huh? How did you know?"
"This...don't ask."
"Okay, then I won't ask. Tell me the truth. What are you doing here in the middle of the night looking for me at the military camp?"
"I just heard someone wanted to kidnap Madam Ding."
"Ah!" Han Shizhong was shocked. He grabbed the lazy monkey's collar and shouted, "Which thief wants to kidnap our Saisai?"
"Yang Tianwang!"
"Ha!" Han Shizhong laughed instead of getting angry. "I didn't go looking for him, but he came all the way to the capital instead, even trying to kidnap my Saisai. What a jerk! He's really like a mouse marrying a cat, and now he's just craving his life... Let's go! Take me to find this Heavenly King Yang."
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I have something else to say."
"explain!"
"This Yang Tianwang is not the mastermind."
"Ah! Is there someone behind him?"
The lazy monkey nodded quickly: "Someone paid a large sum of money to let Yang Tianwang kidnap Madam Ding."
"Who is this person?"
"Yes..." The lazy monkey rolled his eyes, "Please don't blame me, Grandpa. I can only tell Commander Zhang."
Han Shizhong grabbed his chest and asked angrily, "Why didn't you tell me?"
The lazy monkey said with a sad face, "This is a serious matter. I can't tell you. I can only tell Commander Zhang in person."
"You little bastard, you..." Han Shizhong raised his palm as big as a palm fan and pretended to slap him.
The lazy monkey shuddered with fear and hurriedly explained: "You can't afford to offend the person behind this. Even General Zhang might not dare to offend him."
"Huh? So powerful?" Han Shizhong released his hand and asked, "Could this person be someone from the imperial court?"
The slow loris nodded vigorously.
"Let me think about it." Han Shizhong stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and clapped his hands: "I know who it is."
"This..." The lazy monkey didn't believe it. I haven't even told you yet, and you know it now?
"Let's go! Let's go find the military commander." Han Shizhong said, taking out a dagger from under the bed and putting it in his arms.
