Then a voice said: "You are too late. We are surrounded."
After the voice fell, Mu Qing and Ming Yue stood on the roof, both wearing official uniforms. Mu Qing himself was of a certain rank and had his own official uniform.
Mingyue was wearing the uniform of the local prefect's constable.
The woman in black saw that it was Mu Qing and Ming Yue and said through gritted teeth, "You again?"
Mingyue smiled and said, "How is it? Every time I see you, you scheme against me. This time, we schemed against you, right?"
Pang Hu said from the side: "Sister, can you please stop talking nonsense? Talking nonsense will easily give people an opportunity to take advantage of you. If you let him get away, all our efforts will be in vain."
Mingyue looked at Pang Hu and said, "I understand."
Then he raised his hand and shouted "Shoot!" Mu Qing and Ming Yue hadn't remembered that Ye Chen's letter had instructed them not to spare the most heinous criminals. This was what he had promised to do.
Arrows rained down, and the people in the yard became sitting ducks.
But those people still blocked Fuxia behind them and pushed Fuxia into the house.
When Mingyue and Mu Qing chased down, the people who were prepared outside had already broken in. When the two groups came in, they only saw a dozen men, but Fuxia and the little girl were nowhere to be seen.
After a struggle, some were killed, but a few were captured. Mingyue said, "It's in this room. There must be a secret room or something. Search it!"
Mu Qing asked Pang Hu to take people and bring the captured people back to the prefectural government office. He and Mingyue stayed to continue hunting Fuxia.
Finally, they found the mechanism under a painting, but it was just a small secret room with nothing inside except a chair covered with tiger skin.
Mu Qing went in to check, and Mingyue continued to look outside. However, when Mu Qing walked to the chair, his feet suddenly slipped and he fell down. He didn't even have time to shout before he disappeared.
Mingyue was talking: "That shouldn't be the case. Since there are no other secret rooms or secret passages, it must be in that secret room."
As he spoke, he looked up to find Mu Qing, but he didn't see anyone. He hurriedly asked the people around him: "Have you seen Mu Qing?"
Everyone around him shook their heads and said, "I didn't see it. Aren't they checking in that secret room?"
Another said, "I only saw him go in, but didn't see him come out."
The people who went in together were all checking the wall and didn't notice Mu Qing falling. They all shook their heads and said, "We didn't see it, but Guard Mu was checking the chair."
The man said, pointing to the ordinary chair.
Mingyue went forward to check, and everyone followed. They gathered around and looked for a long time, but they really couldn't see anything different.
Suddenly, a voice said: "Ah"
Mingyue turned around and saw a man pointing at the ground with his eyes wide open. He asked, "What's wrong?"
The man said, "A Liu fell down!"
Mingyue looked at the man, then at the ground and said, "Where did it fall? Where did it fall from?"
The man pointed to a patch of floor next to Mingyue's feet and said, "There, a mouth suddenly opened, and Liu fell down."
Mingyue looked around the floor, then took a knife from the captain behind him and knocked on the brick. It was indeed empty. She knocked on the brick next to it, and it was also empty.
Mingyue said: "Bring me a bamboo pole."
After a while, someone came in with a bamboo pole. Mingyue placed the pole horizontally in front of herself, and then stood on the two pieces of floor. Sure enough, the floor broke, and Mingyue fell down all at once.
Fortunately, Mingyue was prepared. She placed a bamboo pole on the ground and held the pole with both hands. She did not fall down and the two bricks did not close together.
Mingyue originally thought that there was a vertical secret room below and that she was falling in the air, but she felt that she was not falling, but half lying.
I pushed hard, but my feet were very slippery and I had no foothold. Then Mingyue said, "Find another bamboo pole to support the two floors, and then pull me up."
After the moon came up, he took the torch and looked at the hole carefully.
It really was a hole, but it went straight down, and the surface was very smooth, which should be convenient for people to slide down.
Mingyue asked someone to remove the bamboo pole, then took a hammer and smashed it at the two floors. With two "clangs", the two floors were shattered into pieces.
A group of men looked at Mingyue's actions and opened their mouths wide. Is this a woman?
Mingyue ignored their reactions, threw the hammer away, dusted off his hands, and said, "Could you please come with me and take a look?"
Several people looked at each other, unwilling to go down, and then suddenly said: "I'll go down with you."
Mingyue saw that it was Captain Zhou Yang and said, "We still need Captain Zhou to take care of it up there. Just send a few brothers to accompany me down there."
Seeing that no one stood up, Mingyue smiled and said, "Captain Zhou, please make sure this place is clean. We'll meet at the yamen."
Then he jumped into the secret passage. Just as he thought, this secret passage was designed for easy escape, and it was very fast to go down.
Seeing Mingyue jump down without hesitation, Zhou Yang raised his hand and slapped the two people beside him, saying, "What a shame! You are so shameless! You are so brave, but you can't even compare to the courage of a little girl. I wonder how you can brag about it in the future."
Mingyue slid down all the way. The path was very long and it felt like she had been sliding for a long time. However, she soon reached the end. Mingyue stood up, blew out the fire stick and looked around.
Looking closely, it was a dry well, with moonlight faintly shining through the wellhead.
"Who?" Mingyue suddenly heard someone approaching and drew out the soft sword in her hand.
"No, Guard Mingyue, I'm A Liu." Mingyue raised the fire starter and saw the man.
Mingyue asked, "Did you see Mu Qing when you came down?"
Ah Liu shook his head and said, "No, I don't have any lighters with me, so I can't see clearly and I didn't hear anything."
Mingyue put away his sword and said, "Let's go up first. We can search this place thoroughly when daybreak comes."
Maybe Mu Qing will go back too when I get back.
Ah Liu looked at the well mouth and said, "It's so high, how can we get up without a rope?"
Mingyue smiled and said, "I'll go up and throw you a rope down, and then you can go up again."
After saying that, without waiting for Ah Liu's reaction, Mingyue jumped up and climbed onto the wall of the well below the well mouth, then stretched out her arms and legs, climbed on the wall of the well, and then climbed up little by little.
When she was climbing, she saw traces of someone climbing, and she knew that Mu Qing must have gone out.
After going up, I found that this was an abandoned courtyard that had been abandoned for a long time. It felt eerie when the wind blew.
He found a rope, threw it down and pulled Ah Liu up, and the two of them returned to the government office together.
When they came back, Zhou Yang and the others had not returned yet, and Mu Qing was not there either.
Mingyue turned around and ran towards the casino again. As soon as she entered, she saw Mu Qing standing at the entrance.
Mingyue called out: "Mu Qing"
Mu Qing turned around and ran to Mingyue to check if Mingyue was injured. It turned out that Mu Qing was afraid that Mingyue would worry, so he ran back to the casino in a hurry after coming out. Unexpectedly, Mingyue jumped down by herself. He was afraid that the two of them would get into trouble, so he waited here.
