Fang Kai waited for a while and saw that there was no movement behind him. He bravely looked back slowly and found that the courtyard door was wide open and the knife was placed along the wall, but Huazhu had disappeared.

Fang Kai ran to the door and took a look, then yelled at the soldiers: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you pick up the weapons and chase them?"

"Still chasing!"

A soldier rubbed his neck that had been split by a beech tree with his hand and said with a grimace: "Du Tou, that man is so powerful. We are no match for him. Even if we catch up, we can't catch him. Why are we chasing him?"

."

"Furthermore, he also said that he was an imperial envoy. Although I don't know whether what he said is true or not, but if what he said is true, wouldn't we be in trouble? So it's better not to pursue it.

Let him go."

Fang Kai went over and kicked the two soldiers and said, "Who told you to really pursue me? It's just a show of pretense. Otherwise, the prefect and Vice General Wu would know that we let him go, and would they be able to spare us?"

"Oh, I understand, I understand."

The two soldiers reacted, then picked up their weapons from the ground and said to the other soldiers: "Brothers, let's chase."

The soldiers chased him out one after another. Fang Kai walked over, picked up his knife and was about to leave. Just when he was about to step out the door, he suddenly looked at Ma Liu who was still unconscious and lying on the ground. He thought that this kid was not a good person.

Damn it, if he goes out and makes a noise and lets Wei Mao and Wu Rong know that he is the one who let Hua Ju escape, then he will be in trouble.

He checked that there was no one else around, then dragged Ma Liu into the house, took off his belt, hung it on the beam and tied a lock knot, then picked up Ma Liu and put his head inside, and then released his hands.

, Ma Liu's body sank, and the belt immediately tightened his throat.

At the moment when his throat was locked, Ma Liu's eyes suddenly opened, and he found Fang Kai standing in front of him, and he had been suspended in the air. His hands hurriedly reached up to untie his belt, but the belt hit him.

It's a lock knot, and the more you struggle, the tighter it gets.

Ma Liu stretched out his hand to grab Fang Kai, but couldn't reach it, so he kicked his feet in a hurry.

Fang Kai just stood in front of him quietly and looked at him, and said: "Ma Liu, don't blame me for being cruel. You have seen it. If the prefect knows that he ran away from me, then I will

It's time for you to be unlucky, so I have no choice but to let you go. But don't worry, I won't let your death be in vain. From now on, every year during the holidays, I will burn a lot of paper money for you, so that you can live a prosperous and prosperous life in the underworld.

."

Ma Liu's intestines are now green with regret. He hates himself for being so greedy. If he hadn't thought about reporting and receiving a reward, he wouldn't be in this situation now.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, and it is already too late now.

After struggling for a while, Ma Liu stopped moving and just hung there upright, turning slowly like a wooden stake.

Fang Kai put a chair at his feet with an expressionless expression, and then gently pushed it down, creating the illusion that he had stepped on the chair and hung himself.

Then, he came out of the courtyard, turned around, closed the courtyard door, looked both ways to see if there was no one, and then walked towards the right side of the alley.

Hua Ju left the alley and walked forward along the road to Wei Mao's mansion. Suddenly someone called him. He turned around and saw that it was Zhang Ding, and he walked over immediately.

"Are you all okay?" Hua Ju asked.

"fine."

Then Zhang Ding took him to meet Liu Bo, Zhou Yuandi, Zhong Daming and others, and then went to Wei Mao's house together.

In front of the window of the street-facing room on the second floor of Yuelai Teahouse, Wu Rong looked at the pedestrians passing below, his brows furrowed and his face full of sadness.

The time Wei Mao gave him was almost half over, but so far he didn't even have any clues about Hua Ju. He was really worried.

He knew that Wei Mao was a very vicious person. If Hua Ju could not be caught within the stipulated time, Wei Mao would really have him tattooed and sentenced to death.

At this time, he saw his men running over there in a hurry with their heads raised, and his heart moved, and he thought: "Could there be news about Huaju?"

Soon Fang drove into the teahouse, ran upstairs with a bang, pushed open the door of the room, and gasped: "Sir, have we found traces of the thief?"

Wu Rong asked excitedly: "Where is it?"

Fang Kai said: "Near the South City Gate, it seems they want to go out, but they are very cunning. They ran away separately when they saw us. My subordinates have already asked their brothers to chase after us."

When Wu Rong heard that Hua Ju had escaped again, his joy suddenly disappeared, because if this escape was not found again, he would still be unable to escape the fate of being tattooed and sent away.

"asshole."

Wu Rong scolded: "Didn't I tell you to tell me immediately if there is a situation? Don't act on your own to alert others? Why didn't you listen?"

Fang Kai quickly defended: "It's not that the villains wanted to scare the snakes, but we happened to run into them, and they scattered and ran away as soon as they saw us."

Wu Rong knew that it would be useless to kill him now. The top priority was to find Huazhu quickly so that he could report to Wei Mao, so he did not scold him anymore. He turned to one of his accompanying soldiers and said: "Inform everyone to Nancheng immediately.

, I have to dig three feet into the ground to find him."

"Yes." The soldier left.

"Stop being stuck here, go back and search with them quickly. If you can't find anyone, I'll ask you." Wu Rong pointed at Fang Kai and said.

"Yes, I will go back immediately." Fang Kai saluted him and left.

Wu Rong punched the table hard and sat down in annoyance. Then he thought about it carefully and felt that he should tell Wei Mao about the situation.

Then he stood up and left the teahouse.

Hua Ju and others will take you down from Liu Shui to the back door of Wei Mao Mansion. There are no other residents here. There are many big stones and many bamboos planted around it, making it very quiet.

"Are there many people coming in and out of this back door?" Hua Ju asked.

"Except for Tang Zhan and a few stewards in the Wei Mansion, and their close servants who use the front door, most of the servants use the back door," Liu Shui said.

As soon as he said this, he heard the sound of the door latch of the back door, and Hua Ju waved his hand for everyone to hide behind the big stone.

Soon, a man in his twenties came out with a bucket of water and placed it in front of the bamboo forest on the left, where there were a row of buckets.

After the man put the bucket there, he was about to go back. At this time, there was a sound of a wheelbarrow coming from the direction Hua Ju and the others came from. Hua Ju quietly poked his head out and saw three people pushing three wheelbarrows.

Walking this way, there was also a middle-aged man in his fifties and rather well-dressed behind him.

"Manager Yang, why did you go through the back door today?" the man asked.

The middle-aged man, Manager Yang, said: "Isn't it because I bought a lot of things for the convenience of moving things? Otherwise, why would I go around so far?"

"You bought so many things." The man looked at the contents of the three wheelbarrows and said.

Manager Yang said: "There is nothing I can do. The house uses so many things every day. If anything is missing, the adults will punish me, so I have to buy more to prepare."

"Yes." The young man nodded.

The three men parked the wheelbarrow next to the back door. Manager Yang said to the young man: "Go and ask a few people to come out and help carry the things in."

"yes."

After the young man went in for a while, six or seven servants came out and moved the things in. Yang Guan then took out a dozen copper coins from his body and handed them to the three cart pushers.

The three people counted the coins in their hands, and one of them said: "Manager Yang, this money is wrong."

Manager Yang said angrily: "What's wrong?"

The man said: "We agreed just now on twenty cents, but now you only gave us six cents each, and we are still fourteen cents short."

"Which of your ears heard that I am going to give you twenty coins?"

Manager Yang sneered and said, "I'm obviously talking about Liu Wen. Don't talk nonsense here. Get out of here."

As he said that, he was about to turn around and go in. The three people quickly stopped him and said, "Manager Yang, you can't do this. We made an agreement, how can you go back on it?"

"Yes, we came all the way to help you push it back, you can't hold our money back."

"Manager Yang, just give us the money."

When Manager Yang saw the three people holding on to him, he immediately became angry. He stared fiercely and said, "What are you doing? Do you want to blackmail me?"

"Manager Yang, look what you said, even if we have the courage, we would not dare to blackmail you. We just want to get back the wages we deserve."

"We are all poor people. We earn some money to support our families by pushing things for others. Please give us the money."

Manager Yang snorted heavily and said: "You poor guys, are you crazy about money? You actually blackmailed me. If I don't show you some color, you don't know how powerful I am. Come on.

People."

The men who had just moved things ran out of the back door and said, "Manager Yang, what are your orders?"

Manager Yang pointed at the three cart pushers and said angrily: "These three stinky poor guys want to blackmail me. Give them a hard lesson."

"yes."

The men rushed up, pushed the three people to the ground, and beat them severely.

"We are not blackmailing, we just want our hard-earned money back..."

"You bully others by taking advantage of your power, and you will be punished..."

"Your dignified steward in the magistrate's house actually cheated us of our hard-earned money. Can your conscience be at ease?"

When Manager Yang saw the three people still talking, he pointed at them angrily and cursed: "The damned people are still talking nonsense, beat me, hard, let them know the consequences of provoking people from the Wei family?"

When Zhang Ding, Liu Bo and others saw Manager Yang being so bullying, they were so angry that they wanted to rush out and teach him a lesson, but Hua Ju gently shook his hand.

As the saying goes, a little impatience will ruin a big plan.

Now for Hua Ju, the most important thing is to sneak into the Wei Mansion and capture Wei Mao. As long as Wei Mao is captured, not only the passive situation can be reversed immediately, but these minions who rely on Wei Mao's power to oppress the people can also be dealt with.

There are punishments.

Therefore, although Hua Ju himself wanted to rush out and avenge the three cart pushers, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only endure it temporarily to avoid alerting the enemy and ruining his plan.

Seeing that the three cart pushers were beaten to death, Manager Yang asked those people to stop and said with a sneer to the three of them: "This meal is for you to remember. If I hear you outside,

If you talk nonsense and ruin my reputation, I will skin you. Get up and get out of here."

The three cart pushers knew that Manager Yang was backed by Wei Mao, so they did not dare to argue with him anymore. They endured the pain all over their bodies and stood up, pushing the wheelbarrow away.

"Humph, you are such a bitch, you won't obey me until you beat me."
