Chapter 201: , what's in the box?
Ji Yushu and Ji Linfeng were hiding in the dark, waiting for Wei Chen's move.
The two of them saw Ji Houye and Yin Zheng as soon as they lurked. "Dad, this way." Ji Linfeng called out to Lord Ji.
Hearing the commotion, Ji Houye flashed to the dark alley where the two men were hiding. "Did you find anything?"
Ji Houye looked around cautiously, and listened to Ji Yushu say: "I found three men in black sneaking into the drug store and stuffing the Ministry of War's crossbow blueprints into the box."
“What?” How could Lord Ji not know that this was a frame-up? "Who is the buyer?"
“Westerners.” Ji Linfeng said angrily.
Yin Zheng looked shocked: "Are you not collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?" Only Shengjing has developed a repeatable crossbow.
In the future, we will rely on it to conquer all corners of the world. This Wei Chen is so hateful, he doesn't even care about his family and country.
"Master Hou, this Weichen must be eliminated, otherwise, the brothers under the Quanxia will be sacrificed in vain." Yin Zheng spoke sincerely.
Jihouye understood what he meant, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this Weichen won't live long."
In the darkness, Yin Zheng's eyes were red, probably recalling the brotherhood on the battlefield. The brothers around him fell one by one, and he who survived was in the most pain.
After his death, Gou Yuan also thought about what happened that year and felt sad.
A group of five people were lurking not far away.
It took about more than an hour. Two Western businessmen knocked on the back door of the drug store.
The guard in charge woke up in a daze, heard a knock on the door, and hurriedly called Guan Qing. "Big shopkeeper, people are here."
Guan Qing woke up when he heard the knock on the door and rubbed his sore forehead. "Here you go, open the door first and call people in."
“Yes.” The boy responded and went to do it.
Guan Qing woke up another boy and carried out the two boxes from the house with him. "Would you like to open the box and take a look?" Guan Qing said.
They quickly refused: "No, we can trust Guan Qingyi." They were afraid that Guan Qingyi would spoil the plan. Then he asked the head shopkeeper to take them to the carriage at the city gate together with the waiters.
"The city gate has been closed for the night. Can you two leave at this time?" Guan Qing then remembered that the city gate would be closed for the night.
“Hehe, there’s no need for the big shopkeeper to worry about this. The two of us have already taken care of everything.”
Guan Qing frowned, feeling like something was wrong. "I'd better open the box and take a look, just in case."
One of the Westerners looked displeased when he saw Guan Qing insisting on opening the box. He heard him say: "Guan Qing, we are in a hurry. Please ask Guan Qing to send our goods out of the city as soon as possible. Besides, the money for the goods has already been paid." , this batch of goods is ours.”
“The manager has no right to open the box without our permission.”
Guan Qing is also a shrewd person. After these two people said this, he really felt that there was something wrong with the box. It's about to open. "You two don't leave the city during the day, but go out at night. I'm afraid there's something wrong with you. I must open this box today."
After saying that, Guan Qing was about to take action.
Unexpectedly, the two Westerners moved faster. An Arrow quickly stepped forward and put the dagger on his neck.
He said viciously: "I told the boss to spare your life, but you didn't cherish it, but you forced me to take action."
At this time, Guan Qing knew that he had been fooled. "What do you want to do?" Guan Qing's face darkened, and he was very frightened. He can't harm the Ji family, nor can he harm the young master.
Ji Yushu on the other side was a little worried when the box was not brought out yet. "Is it possible that Guan Qing discovered something? Is he, will something happen to him?"
Ji Linfeng’s eyes changed slightly. "Brother, I'll go take a look. Don't worry, I'm very good at concealment." Ji Houye and Ji Yushu looked at him and knew at a glance that the person at this time was An Yan. "Okay. Brother believes in you."
After saying this, An Yan raised his spirits and flew up to the roof. A few vertical jumps to the roof not far from the medicine shop. I saw the two people standing in a stalemate inside. His expression changed. Want to take action. As a result, Yu Guangxian noticed that there were many city defenders lurking in another alley.
Think about it for a moment, then turn around and go back.
As soon as Ji Linfeng appeared, Ji Yushu asked nervously: "How?"
"Guan Qing was kidnapped. He probably realized something was wrong and didn't want to sell the medicinal materials to two foreigners anymore. Don't go out. There are many defenders hiding in the northwest. They are probably Wei Chen and the second prince's people."
Ji Houye and Ji Yushu have already guessed this. I just don’t know where to hide.
Ji Yushu was extremely anxious. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a secret code. "Second brother, you go again. Make two dog barks, two long and one short." I hope Guan Qing can understand.
When Guan Qing was bullied by someone, that person made Guan Qing bark like a dog in order to humiliate him.
Ji Linfeng understood and set out again.
Here Guan Qing was determined to die. "Huh, today, you can't take this box away under any circumstances unless you step over my body."
Without Guan Qing, the contents of the box cannot be corroborated. The two knew that Guan Qing was an important witness. Just as I was thinking about countermeasures, several dogs barked suddenly at the back door.
Guan Qing stiffened. These two barks hit the closed door in his heart. However, he also understood.
Just when the two were about to knock Guan Qing unconscious and take them away with him, Guan Qing suddenly softened his attitude. "You can leave if you want. As a businessman, what matters is profit. The two of them are blocking me like this, so the things inside must not be simple. I took the risk, too. So I have to pay more."
The two of them breathed a big sigh of relief. If you want money, you should have said it earlier, why bother going around.
"Okay, I have exactly 10,000 taels of silver notes with me, which is twice the price. If the manager is in trouble, it would be a bit unethical."
Guan Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "How could that be?" He collected the money and ordered the two frightened men to carry the box together and walk out.
Two Westerners followed one after another.
I saw someone finally carrying the box out. The second prince couldn't wait to order the people behind him to take action.
“Go, stop them, and say that you want to search for the fugitives.”
Weichen also motioned to the people behind him to come forward.
The two of them hid in the dark and did not show themselves.
Ji Houye also saw Guan Qing coming out of the house. He also gestured in a certain direction. Ji Yushu knew he understood.
I was really worried about him just now.
Not long after the group left the medicine store, two groups of officers and soldiers rushed over and stopped the group. The two guys were so frightened that they immediately squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. Guan Qing had a serious face. Suddenness flashed in his eyes.
So the plan is here!
"No one is allowed to move. Two important fugitives have just escaped from prison. We need to conduct routine inspections."
The leading officers and soldiers pointed at Guan Qing with red cherry blossoms. "You, go and open the box."
Guan Qing thought about it, judging from the weight of the box he just lifted, there was no fugitive in it at all. Therefore, the purpose of these people is not to catch fugitives.
What exactly is in the box?
