  Chapter 171 Bull knife

   "Girl, it's snowing!" Xiao Lian reminded Xin You by pointing outside.

  Xin You walked out of the door of the bookstore and looked up into the sky.

  The sky was gray, and the snowflakes were falling profusely. She stretched out her hand to catch them, and they were thin snow particles.

  This kind of light snow has fallen two or three times since the beginning of winter. If Captain Yang has an accident tonight, we will have to see whether it will turn into heavy snow at night.

   But when the time comes, it is obviously too late to arrange for someone to set up an ambush.

   It is unknown how many gangsters there are, Xin You is not going to take the risk of waiting, and arranges for someone to quietly deliver a letter to He Qingxiao.

  If Mr. He's people made the trip for nothing and had money to make up for it, I believe those people would not have too much dissatisfaction.

  He Qingxiao received a letter here, ordering Yan Chao to act.

  Fifty Jinlin Guards put on casual clothes, disguised as book buyers, walked into Qingsong Bookstore one after another, and then quietly dispersed near the warehouse under the guidance of Liu Zhou.

   As for how to hide themselves, these Jinlin Guards have their own experience.

  Xin You met He Qingxiao in the reception room of the study hall.

  He Qingxiao walked in generously, without concealing his identity. This is the benefit of regular customers, and others have already seen it.

"Thank you, Mr. He, for sending so many people to help." Xin You didn't have enough money to ask for help, but I'm afraid she couldn't invite too many people. Jin Linwei had twenty more people than expected, which made her feel tense Relax a lot.

   "Miss Kou, as long as there are too many people." With He Qingxiao's keenness, he could guess that Xin You would have something to say to the subordinates who came to help.

  If it were someone else, you might think that he sent more people here to make a fortune. Fortunately, it was Miss Kou.

   And he took the initiative to increase the manpower, and there is no other reason, he just hopes that her safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

  It's a pity that Ms. Kou only said to borrow from her subordinates...

   "How could it be? With these people, I feel more at ease." Xin You thought it might not be tonight, and her tone changed, "If the criminals don't do it tonight, I will trouble Mr. He later."

  He Qingxiao smiled: "There are few things in the yamen recently, it doesn't matter if Miss Kou borrows it a few times."

   Speaking of which, he tentatively asked: "Do I need to come forward—"

  Xin You declined with a smile: "With Mr. He's subordinates, I can handle it well, so I don't have to bother Mr. He."

  He Qingxiao sighed inwardly after failing to test.

   Sure enough, it was rejected.

   "Then I wish Miss Kou all the best." He Qingxiao replaced the wine with tea and raised the teacup.

  Xin You sent He Qingxiao to the door of the bookstore, watching the black figure disappear into the snowy twilight.

  It was completely dark, and the people in the bookstore finally finished their busy work all day. After dinner, they fell asleep almost as soon as they touched their pillows. Only the guards on duty were left walking outside.

  The lights in all the houses were turned off. Xin You stood in the dark, and by the light from the lanterns under the eaves not far away, she found that the snow that was falling suddenly became bigger.

  It seems that it only takes a moment for the snow particles to goose feather heavy snow, and soon there is a layer of white on the roof and the ground.

  Xin You is 90% sure that the incident will happen tonight.

  She didn't wear much, and she didn't even wear a cloak for the convenience of her movements. She was wearing a black tights that blended perfectly with the night.

   At this time, there must be many people who merged into the night, some of whom she knew clearly, and some who came uninvited.

  Xin You looked calmly, searching quietly.

  The two guards guarding the warehouse shivered from the cold, cursing and hiding under the eaves, stomping their feet to avoid the snow.

   Jin Linwei, who was ambushing nearby, felt even colder because he couldn't move around, and thus became dissatisfied.

   "The boss didn't say how long we have to wait, so why don't we come here to suffer from the cold?" A Jinlin guard complained in a low voice.

   "Shh, there's movement!"

   There is indeed movement.

  Captain Yang is here.

  In order to make a surprise inspection of those guards who were not paying attention when they were on duty, Captain Yang didn't even mention the lantern, and deliberately lightened his steps.

  Xin You held his breath, watching Captain Yang stop suddenly, and ejected the stone in his hand without hesitation.

  The cold light pierced the night sky, and the long knife was deflected when it was hit by a stone, making a crisp sound.

  Captain Yang can be the leader of more than a hundred guards, and his skills are very good. He quickly dodges the sneak attack, and shouts while fighting with the knife-wielding man: "There are villains!"

  The two guards guarding the warehouse looked at each other.

  One of them was surprised when he heard Captain Yang's shout, and subconsciously went to the warning gong.

  The other person showed a ferocious face, and drew a dagger from his sleeve to stab his companion. There was a scream, but it wasn't his companion's, but his.

  Yan Chao, who was standing nearby, put away his bow and crossbow, and rushed over with his knife.

   When Captain Yang shouted out, those gangsters who sneaked in rushed out, and the ambushing Jinlin Guards rushed out afterward.

   On one side were well-armed Jinlin Guards, a total of fifty people, on the other side were armed with knives, sticks, and the thief who guarded the storeroom was no more than a dozen people.

  The number of people is very different, the strength is very different, and the fight is over in less than a quarter of an hour.

  More than a dozen masked men were hacked to death, and the rest were injured and screamed again and again.

   Yan Chao, who was the leader, looked at Xin You who came over with a complicated expression.

   There are only so many gangsters, and fifty or so Jinlin Guards are required to join them, so what?

   "Thank you." In front of the criminals, Xin You didn't directly call out Yan Chao's identity.

   "How do you plan to deal with these people?" Yan Chao asked.

  Xin You asked Xiaolian to put on a thick cloak for her, and uttered a few words from her pale lips: "I will send you to the official tomorrow morning!"

  Early the next day, the capital was covered with snow everywhere, and the road was covered with a thick layer of snow.

  The side door of Qingsong Bookstore opened, and the guards of the bookstore headed by Captain Yang came out in a file, which quickly attracted a lot of attention.

  People watched the two guards lift up a shelf one after the other. The shelf was covered with a cloth, and it looked like a person was covered under the raised cloth.

   Then another shelf comes out, and then another...

   "What's the matter?" Since the cold weather, people who have become more gossip because of less work have been keenly aware that something is wrong.

   "It looks like—" The man suddenly widened his eyes.

  On a raised shelf, a hand slipped out from the cloth sheet.

   "Oh my god, it's really a human!" After a short pause, the man shouted.

  The people watching the excitement were in an uproar.

  Afterwards, several people in black were **** and pushed and dragged out by the guards.

   "What happened?" Someone couldn't help being curious, and boldly approached and asked.

Liu Zhou walked behind with Xin You, and heard the words and said loudly: "So that the neighbors in the neighborhood know that these dozen gangsters broke into the bookstore last night and wanted to rob money. Fortunately, our bookstore has strong guards, hacked and killed nine people, and captured them alive. Five people, all sent to the government now!"

   Once these words came out, it became even more lively.

  In the house, in the alley, in the corner, many people came out at once as if by magic, and followed the people from Qingsong Bookstore to the government in a mighty way.

   "What's the matter, what's the matter?" The people I met halfway asked and quickly joined the team.

   It's almost Chinese New Year, so why don't you prepare some new talking points?

   Thanks to the book friends who rewarded, voted, subscribed and supported.
