The moon was dark and the wind was strong.
The night was a little dark. The moon seemed to be lazy and only revealed half a crescent, hiding behind layers of dark clouds.
Duck and Goose Alley.
In the dim environment, the Embroidered Uniform Guards slowly surrounded courtyard number 77. Their movements were extremely light and slow.
Everyone was very careful and did not make a sound, afraid that they would alert the people in the courtyard.
It had to be said that the Brocade Guard was indeed one of the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. The quality of the personnel was indeed very good.
The first batch of people were all armed with Embroidered Spring Sabers and shields. They used their shields to block the saber light and sneaked into the courtyard.
The second group of people held crossbows and were in charge of providing support and long-range damage.
At this moment, the people in the courtyard did not notice the arrival of the uninvited guests at all. The few sentries were either distracted or sleepy.
He didn't know if it was because he was usually careless, or if he didn't expect someone to attack him.
Even the roof and the courtyard walls were filled with people, but they still did not notice that something was wrong.
"Milord, the brothers are ready.”
"Alright, then let's get ready to move. Tell our brothers to be careful. If they can capture him alive, then do so.”
"Alright!"
In the shadows, Shen Zhan, a centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, stared at the manor below and whispered to his subordinates.
Then, a few rhythmic whistles sounded.
His voice was very soft, but it was extremely loud in the ears of the Embroidered Uniform Guards around him.
This was the signal to prepare to attack.
In an instant, everyone's spirits were shaken, and their hands tightened their grip on their weapons.
"Kill them!"
With a low shout, Shen Zhan set an example by jumping off the wall and rushing straight to the main hall.
Immediately after, dozens of people jumped down one after another and quickly rushed to each room according to the division of labor.
With such a huge commotion, the people in the courtyard were immediately alarmed.
"Attack!"
"Those are the lackeys of the Imperial Court. Brothers, kill them with me.”
"Run quickly. The other party has many people and is already prepared.”
“……”
With a scream, a chaotic battle instantly began. Then, there were flashes of swords and sabers, and angry shouts.
At this moment, the gap between the two sides was immediately reflected.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were all carefully selected elites. They cooperated with each other tacitly and fought in an orderly manner.
As for the orphans of Jingnan, they lacked fighting experience. They fought without any rules and were in a mess.
Other than his loud voice, he had no other strengths.
In addition to the surprise attack, they were beaten silly. In just five minutes, the battle was completely over.
"Take all these people away, including the corpses. Check every corner carefully to see if there are any mistakes.”
"You all know the rules. If anything goes wrong, I won't have a good time, and you won't have a good time either.”
Shen Zhan swept his gaze across the surroundings and wiped the blood off his face. He coldly ordered his subordinates.
The Jinyiwei were all experts at seizing houses, so they knew very well that some people liked to build secret chambers, secret passages, and the like.
The more secrets a person had, the more they were like this.
After warning him, Shen Zhan looked at one of his men and said,""Fourth Bro, you stay behind to deal with the aftermath. I'll go back and settle these guys first!”
"Don't worry, my lord. I will make the arrangements.”
"Okay, I'll leave this place to you.”
After some instructions, Shen Zhan commanded his subordinates to quickly leave Duck Goose Alley with the orphans of Jingnan.
It came and went quickly.
……
The next day.
Han King's Residence.
Second Brother received a report from his subordinates early in the morning and only then did he know that something had happened in Duck Goose Alley.
The dozens of people he had secretly raised had all disappeared overnight.
Without any warning.
"Trash, you're all trash. You don't even know how or when you disappeared. What's the use of raising you people?”
In the hall, Second Brother was so angry that he flew into a rage and smashed the teacup into pieces.
He was already hot-tempered, and now he even had the heart to kill.
Seeing his murderous look, the subordinate who came to report lowered his head and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
He was afraid that his master would kill him to vent his anger.
"Those guys are also trash. They were actually wiped out without a sound. Not even a single person escaped.”
Sitting on the chair, Second Brother was so angry that his face was ashen, and his chest was heaving up and down.
Although the Embroidered Uniform Guards did a good job at handling the back, there were still some things that were left out at the scene, and his men saw the traces.
In fact, he already had some guesses about this matter, but he was angry that those orphans of Jingnan were so useless.
Even if someone escaped, he would not be as angry as he was now.
Or rather, it was embarrassing and awkward.
He was proud of himself. He thought that his methods were powerful, but in the end, they were useless.
Just thinking about it made her blush.
"Get lost. During this period of time, tell everyone to keep a low profile and not cause trouble for me.”
A few breaths later, he glanced at his subordinate kneeling on the ground and coldly spoke.
At this moment, he was in a very bad mood. He needed to calm down and not even look at these trash.
If it wasn't for the fact that the other party had followed him for so many years, he would have hacked the other party.
"Yes, this subordinate will take his leave!"
Hearing this, the subordinate hurriedly bowed and left the room.
"Fourth…"
Seeing his subordinate leave, Second Brother frowned and his pupils dilated slightly. He muttered thoughtfully.
He was very sure that this matter was definitely related to Zhu Gaojin, but he did not expect the latter to act so quickly.
In just three days, they found out about Duck and Goose Alley and even caught them in one fell swoop.
"As expected of Fourth Brother!"
Sighing, Second Brother shook his head, picked up the teapot, and took a big gulp.
This time, he had indeed lost miserably.
"Yo, Second Brother, you're throwing such a tantrum early in the morning. Who are you messing with?”
At this moment, a strange voice sounded. Then, No. 3 walked into the room with a face that deserved a beating.
Even a fool could tell that he was gloating.
Second Brother stared at him for a while before saying coldly,""No wonder Old Fourth always said that he wanted to step on your face when he saw it.”
“……”
The smile on No. 3's face instantly disappeared. He was so angry that the boat of friendship capsized.
"Alright, Second Brother, you've grown up. Now, you don't even care about your own brothers.”
"That's true. After all, you even dared to raise Jingnan's orphan. It's normal that you don't like me.”
In terms of sarcasm, Third Brother was definitely an expert. He was also born with a mocking face.
Second Brother frowned. He was disgusted.
