Chapter 146: A Horrifying Night at the Ge Mansion
As soon as they arrived at the Ge Mansion, they saw two guards at the door. Jiang Yuwei said to Ning Huaizhi:
"Go to Mr. Sun's mansion and get a few people over. Have them pretend to be drunk and cause trouble in front of the door to delay time. You will wait for us at the back door in a while."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Tiezhu again and said:
"The three of you sneak into the mansion to look for him. You can go to the courtyard where the servants live. A man like Master Ge would definitely not know which woodshed or servant's room he has locked up Lao Cao in. You go look for him one by one, and try not to alarm others. If you are discovered, just cover his mouth and nose with this handkerchief soaked in sleeping pills to make him unconscious. If the sleeping pills are gone, just chop him unconscious with your knife."
Jiang Yuwei was afraid that the three of them were not experienced enough, so she explained in more detail, then turned to the fool and said:
"After you enter the mansion, follow Tiezhu. Do whatever Tiezhu tells you to do. Don't make trouble. If you are obedient, I will allow you to keep a puppy. If you are not obedient, not only will you not have dinner tonight, but I will also throw the puppy away!"
The fool frowned and looked at Jiang Yuwei blankly and said:
"Got it, don't throw my puppy!"
Jiang Yuwei then told Tiezhu:
"You must be flexible and don't panic when you get in. If you really can't save Lao Cao, just run away and we'll make a long-term plan later. Remember, your safety is the most important. Cover your faces and don't let them see your faces. I'll be on guard in the backyard for you. Go out through the backyard when you come out."
Tiezhu and Ning Wu both nodded. Before Tiezhu could say anything, the idiot couldn't wait any longer and simply flipped over and jumped into the backyard wall. Seeing this, Tiezhu also wanted to flip over in a hurry, but they didn't have any light work skills and couldn't get over. At this moment, the door to the backyard creaked open.
Jiang Yuwei was startled, thinking that everyone was going to die before they could accomplish their mission. Unexpectedly, the idiot stretched out from the backyard door, looked at the two people who were still climbing the wall, tilted his head and said in confusion:
"Are you guys climbing the wall?"
Tiezhu and Ningwu also felt a little embarrassed so they quickly jumped down and quietly sneaked in through the back door.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, they met a night watchman walking towards them. Tiezhu hurriedly grabbed the three of them and hid in the bushes nearby. After the night watchman passed by, the three of them took a breath and crawled out of the bushes. It was the first time for Tiezhu and Ningwu to come to such a large courtyard, and they had no idea where to go.
The fool ignored the two people who were standing there in a daze and walked straight towards a small path. Soon the three of them saw some servants coming in and out. Tiezhu thought that this should be where the servants lived, so he quickly signaled the two to go and look for them separately.
The three of them hid in each room and searched from house to house. Ning Wugang saw a man tied to a pillar in a woodshed and wanted to open the door to take a closer look. Suddenly, a big hand patted his back, and he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. After all, it was the first time he did such a thing.
"What are you doing?"
A deep male voice sounded.
Ning Wu smiled and said:
"Ha...haha, I, I'm a new servant. I got lost and can't find my room."
The male voice was confused:
"I haven't heard of any newcomers coming to the Ge Mansion these days. Forget it, just come with me."
Ning Wu had his face covered and didn't dare to turn around. When he heard the man turning around, he quickly turned around and covered his mouth and nose from behind with a handkerchief soaked in sleeping pills. This was what Sister Yu Wei taught him, and it was correct. After a while, the man's body really went limp.
Ning Wu was very happy as he let go and prepared to go into the woodshed to save the man. However, when he looked up, he saw servants in the yard staring at him in confusion.
Ning Wu froze in place. He was so nervous that he only focused on the man in front of him and didn't notice the people around him. After Ning Wu stared at everyone for a few seconds, one of the servants reacted and shouted:
"Come here, there's an assassin!"
After hearing this, Ning Wu saw that there was nowhere to hide, so he pushed open the door of the woodshed and went in. Then he immediately turned around and bolted the door. Then he went to untie the man who was still tied to the pillar. Although the man had been beaten black and blue, Ning Wu still recognized that the man was Lao Cao based on the portrait that Jiang Yuwei showed him.
Seeing this, he hurriedly helped the panicked Lao Cao up and said:
"You must be Lao Cao, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
Lao Cao nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, I am Lao Cao. Who asked you to save me? Is it my wife?"
Ning Wu listened to the noise outside the door getting louder and louder, and he had no intention of helping Lao Cao to answer his questions, so he simply said:
"Let's talk about it after we can get out!"
The fool and Tiezhu outside heard the noise and rushed over to check the situation. Seeing several servants gathered at the door of the woodshed and didn't dare to go in, they knew that Ning Wu might have been arrested. Tiezhu didn't care about anything else and rushed forward and shouted:
"Hey! Watch me!"
Everyone who had been gathering at the door turned around and looked at Tiezhu. Tiezhu did not hesitate and directly took out the chili water that Jiang Yuwei had given him and sprinkled it evenly on everyone's face.
Seeing this, the fool rushed forward and knocked the servants surrounding the door to the ground. Ning Wu, who was inside, heard the noise outside, and hurriedly opened the door and rushed out with Lao Cao.
When Tiezhu saw that Lao Cao had found it, he hurriedly shouted to the fool:
"Fool, retreat!"
After hearing this, the fool muttered in dissatisfaction:
"I haven't had enough!"
Although she said she was unwilling, but when she thought of the furry little dog in her room, she had no choice but to listen to Tiezhu and escort them out.
The fool was responsible for covering the rear. Ning Wu was responsible for leading Lao Cao to run to the back door, while Tie Zhu turned back and called out to the fool as he ran, fearing that he had taken the wrong road.
As the three ran out of the backyard, they heard someone shouting behind them:
"I saw it! They ran to the back door!"
At this time, Jiang Yuwei, who was on guard at the back door, also heard the noise in the yard. She hurriedly opened the back door, aimed her bow and arrow at the people chasing her and started shooting indiscriminately.
Jiang Yuwei looked outside anxiously while shooting. Ning Huaizhi's ox cart had not arrived yet. If they ran out later, they would have to find a place to hide first.
It happened so quickly that the three of them just ran out of the door and saw a big dog rushing out from the backyard and rushing straight towards Jiang Yuwei's face. Jiang Yuwei was about to take out the bow and arrow to shoot, but found that all the arrows she brought were used up, and she immediately panicked.
Seeing that the tall black dog was about to rush up, Jiang Yuwei wanted to hide backwards, but because she was too nervous, she tripped and fell directly to the ground.
Jiang Yuwei opened her eyes wide and looked at the black dog that had rushed in front of her. She felt endless sadness in her heart. She was afraid that she would have to die here tonight...
