There was no need for Song Jingchen to appear. One Dot and the others could have done it.
Song Jingchen came because Shen Yijia was too bored at home. Now that he was watching from the side, he naturally wouldn’t restrain her.
He looked at One Dot, who nodded.
One Dot the way to the back door of the residence and climbed over the wall. Soon, the back door opened from the inside.
Song Jingchen held Shen Yijia’s hand and led the way in.!!
The others followed.
The few of them had long figured out the layout of this residence. They arrived at the temporary warehouse in the backyard without alerting anyone.
From a distance, in addition to the guards patrolling the area with torches, there were two guards standing at the door.
“So many people?” Shen Yijia muttered, “We have to…”
Shen Yijia reached out and gestured at her neck.
Song Jingchen kept silent and carefully observed her expression. Seeing that there was no change in her expression, he nodded. “Try not to alarm the others.”
Finally, he added, “It’s fine if you just knock them out.”
Shen Yijia glanced at him, indicating that she understood.
She took off two pouches from her waist and handed them to Song Jingchen with a smug expression. “I got them from Lin Shao. We can knock them out before killing them.”
Psychedelic powder was the simplest. Previously, there were many herbs that Lin Shao had picked.
Shen Yijia was a little afraid after being drugged several times. She had asked Lin Shao to concoct a lot of drugs in the past few days. Just in case, almost everyone in the family had a pouch like hers.
One of them was prepared for Song Jingchen, but she hadn’t had the time to give it to him yet. She had always carried it with her, but she didn’t expect it to be useful today.
Song Jingchen paused for a moment and silently took out his hand that had just reached into his sleeve. He took the pouch from Shen Yijia and praised, “You’re so thoughtful.”
One Dot and the others were speechless.
Under Song Jingchen’s gaze, she quickly put away the paper bag in her hand.
Shen Yijia grinned and scratched her head. She said humbly, “It was just a coincidence.”
Song Jingchen smiled. It was indeed right to praise her.
The two pouches Shen Yijia gave him were stuffed to the brim. Inside were many paper bags that Yi Tong and the others found familiar.
Song Jingchen gave each of them a bag and instructed them on how to use it.
She cooperated with him and acted out the instructions.
There were a total of five patrol teams, and they split up. Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia were in charge of taking out the guards.
Although there were only two people standing guard, they had to be taken out swiftly.
This was because once someone collapsed from the drugs, they had to take care of the guards before they realized that something was wrong. This was to prevent them from releasing the signal flare.
The few of them hid in the shadows that each team had to pass through. After a few breaths, more people fell one after another.
One of the guards realized that something was wrong and immediately took out the signal flare from his pocket. However, before he could release it, a black shadow quickly flashed past.
At the same time, there was a piercing sound in the air. An arrow flew straight at the other person’s face.
“Who’s there?”
The person only had time to say two words before a small hand grabbed his neck. With a crack, the person died.
As he fell, the last thing he saw was his companion with an arrow stuck in his forehead.
The two of them died almost at the same time, but in different ways. It could be seen how fast Shen Yijia was.
This happened in the blink of an eye. One Dot and the others thought that their eyes were playing tricks on them.
When he looked at Shen Yijia again, there was no longer any contempt in his eyes. There was even a hint of admiration.
Even Song Jingchen, who had already witnessed Shen Yijia’s speed, was shocked.
He glanced at One Dot and the others coldly, his warning obvious.
He had been careless and forgotten about Shen Yijia’s extraordinary skills.
He took a few steps over and held Shen Yijia’s hand. He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it clean for her. When he saw Shen Yijia’s expression, which looked like wanted him to praise her, he rubbed her head.
However, he decided to nag at her later.
The few of them did not waste any time. One of them stayed outside to deal the finishing blow to anyone outside, while the others pushed the door open and walked in.
When they saw the food that had yet to be unloaded, they were speechless.
They had heard a lot about the watery porridge being distributed in the past few days. However, there was clearly food available here.
They had already been in the city for a few days, but the food had yet to be distributed. The few of them were not stupid, so they understood immediately.
All of them hated the two corrupt officials even more. Only the poor suffered in natural disasters, being taken advantage of by these greedy officials.
“Master, what should we do with these grains?” South Wind could not help but ask.
He hoped to steal these grains and send them to the commoners.
Song Jingchen could tell what he was thinking, but he said indifferently, “Send it to Cao Dezhi’s private residence!”
“Wouldn’t that be returning it to them? In that case, why should we do anything unnecessary?” the Mahjong Brothers thought.
Although they were puzzled, they did not dare to ask further.
At this moment, they could not help but be glad that there was heavy snowfall. The rumbling sound of the cart’s wheels was muffled by the snow.
Seeing them push the grain out one cart after another, Shen Yijia wanted to help, but Song Jingchen stopped her. “We should go back.”
Staying up late was not good for her health. Today was an exception.
Early the next morning, Hong Jianzhang opened his eyes and saw the beauty in his arms. He enjoyed that moment.
A servant broke in without knocking. He said breathlessly, “Master, something bad has happened.”
This sudden situation frightened Hong Jianzhang. He was about to scold him when he heard the servant’s words. His heart skipped a beat.
He kicked the woman away and got out of bed. “What happened?” he asked anxiously.
“The rations are all gone…” the servant replied fearfully.
Hong Jianzhang’s eyes widened. He ignored the fact that he was not dressed properly and walked out.
When he returned to the residence, he saw the corpses neatly arranged in the courtyard. Hong Jianzhang staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, the servant behind him helped him.
“Bastard, who did this?” he roared.
A guard stepped forward and reported, “When I went to change shifts, I saw the corpses of these brothers. They were all killed with a single strike. There were no signs of a fight at the scene. I suspect that it was done by an acquaintance.”
Hong Jianzhang kicked them. “They’re all trash.”
After cursing, he asked again, “What about the grains?”
The guard lowered his head even more. “There are traces of wheels in the courtyard. They must have been transported away through the back door.”
Hearing that it was really gone, Hong Jianzhang fell back in anger, his head buzzing.
“Sir, this person was on duty at the back door last night.” A man who looked like a steward led an old woman over.
The old woman fell to her knees in fear and hurriedly said, “It has nothing to do with me, my lord. I was guarding the back door last night when I was suddenly knocked unconscious from behind. I don’t know anything else!”
Hong Jianzhang calmed himself down. The most important thing now was to find the food. He stared at the woman and asked, “Do you remember what time you were knocked out?”
The woman racked her brains for a moment and replied, “Around midnight.”
Hong Jianzhang waved his hand and summoned the servant who had accompanied him to the Drunken Red House. “When did Cao Dezhi leave the brothel yesterday?”
