At this time, the whole Yuqi Building had become quiet.
You may not think that this place is a brothel, but in fact, in ancient times, even a "nightlife place" like a brothel would be noisy until around midnight at most, and no one would get high any later. Moved.
Of course, Hong Wei is still energetic at the moment.
A few hours ago, when he finished chatting with the madam and sent the latter out of the room, he declared that he was tired and wanted to rest early, so he would not let the girl accompany him tonight. .
As soon as the madam heard this, she knew that he had taken the bait, so she pretended to be confused, made a promise and left.
After that, Hong Wei couldn’t wait to start preparations.
At this moment, he had already changed his clothes, packed his luggage, picked up his sword and was ready to go.
From his preparation before going out, it is not difficult to tell that he planned to run away from the second floor directly after committing the crime, so as to save the step of returning to this room to pick up the baggage.
I have to say that his judgment is quite correct - for any criminal behavior, one more step will increase the risk of being caught.
Hong Wei is a veteran after all, and he still has this experience; in addition, he also knows very well that after "picking flowers", a person's body will be a little weak, and his mind will also be weak for a certain period of time. When you become unconscious, you are most likely to be caught at this time, so after the incident is over, the sooner you get away from the crime scene, the better.
To make a long story short, feeling that the time was almost up, Hong Wei opened the door and left the room. After closing the door, he tiptoed along the corridor towards the west wing of the second floor.
This distance is not far, it is almost the same as walking from the classroom to the toilet on the other floor when you were in elementary school... With Hongwei's Qinggong, even if he doesn't make any sound, he can just lift his feet. arrive.
When he arrived at the door of the west wing, he directly reached out and pushed the door open. He did not do anything like "poke the window paper first and put some smoke in".
Because for a master like him, it is too easy to subdue a weak woman. He does not need to use anything like smoke at all. He just needs to quietly approach the other party and quickly cover her lips. mouth, and then put the sword on the opponent's neck, and that's it.
In those days, if an average woman encountered such a battle in the middle of the night, ninety-nine percent of her would be so frightened that her mind would go blank, her whole body would become weak, and she would be unable to scream even if she wanted to... Then Hong Wei After repeated bluffs and scares, the opponent would basically obey in fear and with tears; as for those who were bold, strong-willed, and refused to obey, when he saw that he could no longer scare the opponent, he would just knock them out again.
Gu——
At this moment, in the darkness, Hong Wei pushed the door lightly, but was blocked immediately, and the sound of wood tapping came from behind the crack in the door. .
He was not too surprised by this. It was nothing more than the door being bolted from the inside.
Although most brothel doors are not locked from the inside even at night, according toThe Madam's previous description of the girl "Zhi'er" suggested that the house would be locked, which was reasonable.
"Heh..." Hong Wei smiled when he saw this, because the door that was bolted from the inside made the Madam's story seem more real.
So, becoming more and more anxious, he immediately mobilized his inner strength, grabbed the door latch through the door panel, and removed the latch.
To prevent you from misunderstanding, I have to make a digression: Actually, this door... does not have to be opened this way. This is the most difficult way to open it.
Generally speaking, for a door with a relatively simple design like this, which is bolted from the inside with a small wooden wedge, take a thinner weapon that can be stuck into the crack of the door, and add a little Anyone can do it with patience, it just takes more time.
Hong Wei no longer had that patience, so he used a more laborious but more time-saving method.
However... as we have mentioned before, it is easy to release internal force to the outside, but it is difficult to use internal force to absorb external objects and move them; therefore, don’t look at him because he is only separated by a not-so-thick door panel. , moved a small piece of wood, and in just a few seconds, he was very tired.
Of course, Hong Wei is now in a state of ecstasy and can no longer care about that. After he successfully opened the door and entered the house, he closed the door again, and then used the weak light that spilled into the house from the window paper to Moonlight walked toward the house.
Soon, he walked around a screen and saw the bed.
It was at this moment that he realized belatedly that there was a strange fragrance in this room, and the further he walked in, the more obvious the fragrance became.
He took a closer look and found an incense burner placed next to the girl's bed, about three steps away, with white smoke rising from the burner.
In the past six months, Hong Wei has also smelled various good incense, and he even recognizes the smell of ambergris, but compared with the incense in front of him, the previous ones are inferior. Quite a few.
At first smell, this fragrance seems to be very strong, but it is not pungent at all.
"Haha... the strange fragrance matches the beauty, wonderful, wonderful..." Hong Wei muttered this in his heart, and went to the bed with a lewd smile.
At this time, his expectations for this "branch" have been raised to an unprecedented height. He hasn't seen anyone yet, just looking at the bulging and slightly undulating quilt, he I already felt dry mouth and flushed face.
This feeling... He has not seen it for a long time. When he first started working as a flower picker, he was pursuing this excitement.
It was in this state of extreme excitement that Hong Wei opened the quilt, and then...he saw a mollusk squirming under the quilt, or to be precise - a pile of flower branches.
From a certain perspective, this also explains the name "Zhi'er".
This scene left Hong Wei stunned on the spot. For a moment, he even suspected that he was dreaming.
What’s even weirder is... Logically speaking, these seafood are piled here. Even if they are wrapped in quilts, they should smell fishy when they are opened. But at this moment, Hong Wei’s nose still only has that strange smell. No fishy smell at all.
“Oops!”
Finally, after being stunned for about thirty seconds, Hong Wei came to his senses. When he exclaimed, he quickly covered his mouth and nose, and then He took a few steps forward, kicked over the incense burner, and stepped hard on the incense scattered on the ground, stamping out the sparks inside.
Unfortunately, his response was too slow. When he thought about it, he began to feel weak all over and dizzy.
"What the hell! How dare you plot against me!" Hong Wei, realizing that he had fallen into the trap, immediately opened his voice and yelled.
Before he finished his roar, a distinctive burst of cheap laughter came from outside the house: "Hahahaha! Hahahahaha..."
Sun Yixi finished laughing. Then he suddenly changed his tone and cursed: "You are a gangster, a thief who picks flowers, and you are worse than a pig or a dog... but you have the nerve to call others a fool? Today, I, Sun Yixie, will do justice to God!"
"Huh! It's just you?" Hong Wei snorted, immediately pulled out his sword, strengthened his inner strength, and sprinted towards the door.
Unexpectedly, before he could step out from behind the screen, dozens of crossbow arrows covered him like rain.
"Tsk!" Hong Wei reacted promptly. He just heard the sound of wind and saw the shadow of arrows through the screen, and immediately stopped and rolled, and kicked over something in the room. A table stood in front of him.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk...
After a breath, the crossbow arrows pierced the screen and were inserted into the floor, the wall, and the person in front of Hong Wei. On the overturned table.
"I definitely can't do it alone." The next second, Sun Yixie's mocking words followed the arrow, "But coupled with all the officers and soldiers and policemen from our Hangzhou Prefecture, , I guess it’s more than enough.”
“You fart!” Hong Wei also scolded, “If I hadn’t been careless and you used poisonous smoke to plot against me, you would have blocked a hundred people at the door today. I can still kill you all!"
"Ha!" Sun Yixie sneered when he heard this, "What do you mean, who plotted against you?" He said, gradually raising his eyebrows. He raised his tone and said, "I'm telling you~ this smoke is the unique secret recipe of Yuqilou. It's what you mentioned when chatting with the madam today about 'forcing girls to submit'... I'm kind-hearted and I brought it to cheer you up." "
His words sounded sarcastic, but the truth also revealed a message, that is - I know everything you Hong Wei said to the madam today.
Thinking further from this, it is not difficult to guess that Hong Wei’s every move in the past few days is all under Sun Yixie’s control.
Previously at the construction site of "West Lake Elegant House", Sun Yixie did not directly set an ambush for Hong Wei. The biggest reason was because he did not have enough information at hand: at that time, in addition toIn addition to the opponent's high martial arts skills, Sun Yixie knew almost nothing about this "blackmailer" and did not know whether the opponent had any accomplices. In addition, the surrounding terrain of the construction site was open and close to the lake, making it too easy to escape. Sun Yixie did not take action, but chose to use a delaying tactic, trying to lock the opponent's identity first and then make calculations.
This is called - before I have the strength to kill you, everything is a misunderstanding.
But now, Sun Yixie has found out who Hong Wei is, and even knows his psychology, personality, and even many of his daily habits. This does not count him. Brother Sun, don't mess around.
"You sharp-tongued boy..." But it was impossible for Hong Wei to deduce the above-mentioned things at this moment. He was dizzy and angry, and he was trapped. In such a small space, the only door was blocked by a crossbowman. Naturally, all he could think of was to escape first and then say, "I'll count you as the winner today. We'll see in the future!"
After saying these cruel words, he flew up, raised his sword and struck at the window on one side of the room, preparing to jump out of the window and escape.
Unexpectedly...
"Ah!" Hong Wei was only halfway through this continuous movement when he was surprised to find that outside the split window... there was actually a picture The net is an iron wire net with extremely high toughness and is difficult to cut through with ordinary swords.
This net was undoubtedly custom-made for this room. The net pattern is almost the same as the shape of the window panes in this room, so it will not be exposed when the moonlight comes through.
锃——
Hong Wei's sword broke the window and struck the net with the remaining force, without even breaking the net wire. Just this... was already shaken His arms were numb.
“I hired some of the best blacksmiths and weavers in the city, and mobilized dozens of my skilled fishing net weavers to put this net out overnight. Isn’t it a little tough? ?" Sun Yixie saw the guy being bounced back at the door, and immediately smiled, "As far as I know, your sword is not a precious weapon, so I'm afraid you won't be able to open this window for a while. Oh."
Hong Weixin said: If I hadn't been hit by the poisonous smoke and my whole body was weak, I would still have been able to tear open a hole and run away even if I didn't have a precious weapon in my hand.
He was very angry just thinking about it, but it was useless...
In the blink of an eye, along with Sun Yixie's mocking words, another round of arrows rained from the door coming from the direction.
This time, without the obstruction of the screen, the crossbowmen could aim more accurately.
Hong Wei has just been bounced from the window and his footing is unstable. In addition, the poison on his body takes effect faster after he moves, making him even more powerless... Under many unfavorable factors He hurriedly blocked with his sword, but only the vital parts of his body were protected. He was hit by an arrow each on his left calf and left shoulder.
"Uh-" Within a few seconds after being hit by the arrow, Hong Wei knew that the arrow was also poisoned, because the pain from his two wounds was almost immediately replaced by a gradual A spreading numbness took over.
At this moment, Hong Wei reallyStarted to panic.
Originally, he thought that even if he could not kill all the people who ambushed him, just escaping would still be safe, but now the situation was quite pessimistic.
But he is not desperate yet, because he knows there is another way...
Bah, blah, blah, blah...
Obviously, after this house, In the era when brick and wood structures were the mainstay, most warriors knew the routine of "breaking the floor or ceiling to leave or enter a room"; unlike walls filled with bricks, the upper and lower sides of the house at that time were easier to destroy.
Hong Wei did succeed in using his sword to open the floor, but what was waiting for him underneath was...
When——
On the wooden board After the sound of shattering, there was the sound of the sword tip hitting the iron plate.
Obviously, Sun Yixie must have thought of everything Hong Wei could think of at the moment - if he hadn't been fully prepared, Sun Yixie wouldn't have let the old bustard do it. Hong Wei set a trap.
Today, the west wing of the second floor is a "bird-killing cage" specially built for Hong Wei. As long as he enters, it will be filled with poisonous smoke, iron nets, iron plates, crossbows, and spirits. The attacks...are called out one after another, whether calculated mentally or unintentionally, no matter how powerful you are in martial arts, you will still die.
"Huh? This..." Seeing that he couldn't get out from the floor, Hong Wei finally showed an expression he hadn't shown for a long time.
Fear, an emotion he had not experienced for a long time, visited him again.
This was the first time that he felt that his life was under a major threat since he quickly became a first-class master due to an unexpected encounter.
It was only then that he discovered that he was not that powerful after all - it didn't mean that as long as he didn't meet the top masters in the world, he would be able to face any situation with confidence.
It turns out that as long as they are well prepared, even a group of close to ordinary people can kill a martial arts master without any damage.
"Wait...wait!" When the third round of arrow rain came, Hong Wei staggered and hid behind the table, "Sun Shaoxia! We have something to talk about!"
"I have nothing to say to you." Sun Yixie replied coldly without even thinking about it.
"Sun Shaoxia, I can repay your money in full... No! Double it!" Hong Wei said, "I only have a few hundred taels left in my bag now. You can bear with me for the rest. Day..."
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk...
Before he finished speaking, another round of crossbow arrows came.
Since this round was a concentrated shooting, the table in front of Hong Wei was immediately filled with holes. Several arrows had even poked half of the table through. He looked at the table. The board is about to break.
"Is it a matter of money between you and me?" At this time, Sun Yixie said again, "In order to catch you, I have already spent more than what I gave you. Do you care about what you have in your hand?" He paused and then said, "TodayGod, I just want you and everyone in the world to know that... a thing like you... dares to run wild on my land, Sun Yixie, what will happen! ”
After saying this, the next round of volleys was released.
The table in front of Hong Wei could not withstand it after all, and there were several more arrows. It pierced through the riddled tabletop and pierced Hong Wei's torso and limbs.
"Ah! Ah——" Hong Wei began to scream, "No...don't kill me...I'll capture you without mercy! Sun Shaoxia! Grandpa Sun! Spare me! Spare me! ”
At this moment, he seemed to have changed back to the person he was before he was twenty-five years old, back to the timid and fearful ordinary citizen.
He regretted
He couldn't help but have this thought flashing through his mind: If he had not fallen due to adultery, but had stuck to his moral bottom line and continued to be a good person, maybe he would not have ended up like this. .
But it is too late, he has already committed too many sins and owed too much blood debt.
When a big thief like Hong Wei and a flower picker are offered a reward. It has always been "life or death", because the government also knows that this kind of person is difficult to catch. If the government requires that he be captured alive, or the reward for being captured alive is higher, it will increase the possibility of his escape.
< p> Therefore, the officers and soldiers who came here today were ordered to "die and be steady". They only need to take the body back. It doesn't matter even if the body is not complete, it is the same as taking the head back. < /p>Taking a step back, even if Hong Wei is cut into pieces... Sun Yixie has already confirmed his identity before that, and the government is fully confident.
Ever since...
In Hong Wei's pleas, the officers and soldiers holding crossbows at the door slowly gave way to some gaps, allowing the team behind them to wait for a long time in the corridor, holding long guns. The officers and soldiers entered the room...
After entering the room, these soldiers with long weapons formed a formation, kept a distance, surrounded Hong Wei, and approached step by step.
At this moment, Hong Wei was injured in many places on his body and had been poisoned by at least two kinds of poisons. He had no strength to resist. He looked at the gun heads getting closer and closer to him, his face turned pale with fright, and he was in despair. He let out a hoarse wail.
Until he was stabbed to death until his flesh and blood were mutilated and he could no longer move, the miserable sound seemed to still be echoing on the beam.
