Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 161 Operation Thin Horse ([-])

In the evening of this day, the sky began to turn cloudy.At seven o'clock, the slightest drizzle fell into Yangzhou City.As the rain intensified, pedestrians on the street went home one after another, and shops began to put up boards and close their doors.In this weather, there is no business to do.

Yangzhou City gradually fell silent from the hustle and bustle of the day.At this time, only the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in Liuxiang in the city was still brightly lit.On the picture boat on the Slender West Lake, literati and singing prostitutes chatted with each other, and the wine was hot.

When it was almost ten o'clock, a group of masked men in dark gray night uniforms emerged from the darkness near the Yanyi warehouse in the northeast direction outside the Benyi Gate.Several people were carrying a large backpack with a strange style on their backs. When they walked, there would be a slight metal knocking sound in the bag.These people walked very slowly, almost stopping every step, and gradually approached under the outer wall of a house.

The outer wall of this courtyard is about three meters high. When Xu Dayong was surveying the situation here, he was always curious about how Zhao Xin and others would climb up.In his opinion, to climb over such a high courtyard wall, one must use a grapple or a ladder; otherwise, one needs to find a big tree near the high wall, throw the grapple from the tree and then slide over.But there are no big trees here!

Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and Lu Shoushan got up and faced the wall, bent down and put their hands on the wall.Ding Guofeng stood behind Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng, squatted down and hugged the two legs that were close together; Pan Xiucheng stepped on Ding Guofeng's back and stood up to Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng. On Liu Sheng's shoulder, Wu Siyu also stood on it.

Wang Yuanfang carried a veterinary anesthesia air gun on his back, took four or five steps back, and sprinted. The first foot stepped on Ding Guofeng's back, the second foot stepped on Liu Sheng's shoulder, and the third and fourth feet reached the ground. Pan Xiucheng and Wu Siyu's knees; immediately after the two hugged his thigh and pushed hard, Wang Yuanfang went up to the wall.

Xu Dayong opened his mouth wide, looking dumbfounded.This is too easy!Could it be that these grown-ups used to be gangsters who jumped over the wall and entered the house?
Wang Yuanfang, who was squatting on the courtyard wall, gently removed a few gray tiles under his feet, and then handed them to Wu Siyu below, and Wu Siyu handed them to Liu Sheng and Ding Guofeng below.

After uncovering the tiles with a width of about 1.5 meters, Wang Yuan conveniently raised the pneumatic rifle with an infrared night vision scope to carefully check the movement in the courtyard.Not far away, the figures of two dogs appeared in sight.Seeming to have noticed something, the two dogs that were lying on their stomachs suddenly stood up and turned to look at Wang Yuanfang.

"Bang~bang~" There were two consecutive soft air gun sounds, and the tranquilizer dart hit the dog.The anesthesia dart that Zhao Xin took was used to hit tigers and bears. With such a large dose, it would not take too long to hit a dog.

After the two dogs were shot, they let out a whine of "whoosh", and soon began to stagger, and then fell to the ground, leaving only their chests heaving together.Immediately afterwards, a man's shout came from the yard.

"Li San, what happened to the dog outside? Go and have a look."

"Oh." The other man responded.

Wang Yuanfang quickly put the air gun on his back, took off the grapple from his waist, and found a good place to put it on the top of the wall; then he turned over the top of the wall, rushed out with his upper body, leaned forward and pulled Wu Siyu up, followed by Pan Xiucheng; Quickly slipped into the yard along the rope.

At this time, the courtyard door squeaked, and a man came out with a lantern.Holding up the lantern, he saw the two dogs lying on the ground, but there was no response when he heard the movement. He was startled suddenly, and just about to call out, an arm like an iron hoop suddenly appeared behind him and hugged his neck fiercely. , another big hand covered his face.After struggling, he gradually passed out.

Ding Guofeng outside the wall also made a sprint, kicking on the hands of Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng, and the two immediately supported Ding Guofeng against the wall. Wu Siyu and Pan Xiucheng grabbed Ding Guofeng's hands and lifted him up. It was lifted up.

Then there was Liu Sheng, who kicked on the knees of Zhao Xin and Lu Shoushan and then stood on their shoulders; the two below gritted their teeth and pushed hard, Wu Siyu and Ding Guofeng helped and went up.At this time, only Zhao Xin, Lu Shoushan, Liu Siting and Xu Dayong were left outside the wall.

In the third entrance of the main room, Chen Songyuan and his wife just fell asleep.When he heard the dog barking outside the yard, he yelled a few words to a nursing home in the second entrance yard, asking him to take a look; then he got into bed by himself.

At noon today, Jia Wang approached him and told him the bad news that Mr. Zhao from the capital had gone back because of an urgent matter.Seeing that the vain money could not be earned, Chen Songyuan was very unhappy.He felt that the girls he raised were careless that day and didn't seduce Master Zhao.As a result, the girls in the west wing had nothing to eat tonight.

The couple fell into a dream soon, when there was a "shua" sound in the yard, like a handful of soil being sprinkled; Wang Yuanfang and Liu Sheng climbed over the wall and came in.

Zhao Xin and the others hated these prostitutes, so his request for this operation was to kill all of them except those girls.As a result, in the side rooms on both sides of the main courtyard, "da da" gunshots could be heard endlessly; those thugs who usually waved leather whips and strips in front of the "skinny horses" were shot to death one after another.

"Who?!" Chen Songyuan's wife was suddenly awakened from her dream.This woman has always been a light sleeper, she pushed the man who was sleeping like a dead pig beside her, Chen Songyuan asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"

"There seems to be someone in the yard!" The woman whispered in her ear.

"Hey, it's Li San and the others watching the night. Go to sleep."

"Sleep with your dead head! Can Li San enter the inner house?"

Chen Songyuan "teng" and sat up from the bed. "That's right! Li San and the others are watching the night in the second courtyard and the hatchback. They can't get in the back house because the door is locked!"

In the field of vision of the hunting infrared night vision goggles, the moving target in the dark night appears as a black shadow against the gray and white background.Liu Sheng squatted in the yard, aiming the gun at the door of the house.Suddenly, a black shadow began to shake behind the door of the main room.Soon, the shadow moved to a window.When he heard the sound of flint beating, Liu Sheng pulled the trigger of the pistol at the black shadow behind the window without hesitation.

The pistol equipped with an expensive silencer from another time and space only made two consecutive "da da" sounds in the silent yard, but immediately there was a "crash" in the house, followed by a The woman started screaming.

"Damn it!" Liu Sheng cursed in a low voice, quickly got up and rushed to the window.Using force with one hand, with a "click", the corrugated frame of the wooden window was snapped.Immediately, he continued to pull the trigger on the huddled black figure in the room.The screams in the room quickly fell silent.

In the courtyard on the west side, the girls went to bed early because they had nothing to eat at night and worked as female celebrities for a while after dark.They have to get up before dawn every day to freshen up, and then, under the leadership of their mother-in-law, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, arithmetic and bookkeeping, or cooking skills from the invited instructors.

Zhao Xin, Liu Siting and the other four sneaked in after Ding Guofeng opened the courtyard door.Just like before, Ding Guofeng splashed a lot of soybean oil on the door shaft for lubrication.After entering the yard, Zhao Xin pointed in the direction, and the four of them slowly moved towards the girls' bedrooms.

Liu Siting went to the yard, turned around and took out two metal cans from the backpack on Xu Dayong's back, and took out two aerosol nozzles to put them in.Inside the jar was a sleep-promoting sedative she had prepared in advance.

Zhao Xin took a jar with a nozzle installed and slipped gently into the yard.Ding Guofeng knelt on one knee in the yard and was in charge of vigilance.Zhao Xin took out a knife, poked a small hole in the window paper, then inserted the nozzle of the aerosol can, and then slowly turned on the switch on the metal can.A soft "sizzling" sounded in the house, and the girls were still sleeping.Liu Siting did the same thing outside the window of another room.She had practiced many times in advance so that the sound of the spray could be kept to a minimum so that no one inside could detect it.

Xu Dayong looked at Zhao Xin and Liu Siting bitterly.In order to achieve the effect of action, he was repeatedly rehearsed as a test product several times; each time he was vomited and dizzy.

After the sedatives were sprayed in several rooms, Zhao Xin and others quietly exited the yard.

In other words, whether it is the 21th century or the [-]st century in another time and space, there is no anesthetic that can be poured without any side effects.That's all bullshit!If anyone can invent this, anesthesiologists all over the world will recommend this person to win the Nobel Prize.

It takes time for any sedative drug to take effect, a few minutes or even ten minutes.Moreover, gas stabilization also depends on the size of the space, the speed of air circulation, the dose of inhaled medicine, and so on.Some anesthetics require the target to wear a mask to be effective; others have a muscle relaxant effect. Once the target is anesthetized, the muscles of the whole body relax and incontinence. Hehe, the taste is really touching!

So don't believe the scenes in those movies unless the target's life or death is not considered.The reason why Zhao Xin used halothane is because this drug does not produce muscle relaxation effects.

Several people waited for about 15 minutes, and Liu Siting patted Zhao Xin on the shoulder, indicating that the time was up.The four of them quietly walked into the courtyard again. Zhao Xin and Ding Guofeng took out their daggers and slowly pried open the door latch of the girls' bedrooms.

From the backpack behind her, Liu Siting took out three gas masks, the anesthetic prepared in advance, and a piece of thick gauze.The three put on the gas masks first, and then Lu Shoushan took out a roll of adhesive tape and a pair of plastic cable ties that Zhao Xin had given him from his bag; he had already learned how to use them.

After the door of a room was pried open, Liu Siting and Xu Dayong crept in.With Zhao Xin's weak flashlight, Liu Siting estimated the weight of the girl sleeping on the bed in front of her.It is necessary to calculate how much weight and how much medicine to take. I saw that she poured some anesthetic on the gauze, and then she quickly covered the girl's face with the gauze.

After 1 minute, Zhao Xin poked the girl with his finger and breathed again.Finding that everything was normal, he patted Lu Shoushan lightly. With a sound of "stab", Lu Shoushan tore off a piece of tape and sealed it on the girl's mouth, and then tied the girl's hands and feet with plastic cable ties.

Liu Sheng has already dealt with it, and he, Wang Yuanfang, Wu Siyu, and Pan Xiucheng have all come to this courtyard to wait.Every time Zhao Xin and the others dealt with one girl, Liu Sheng and the others carried a girl out, walked to the river bank tens of meters away, and put her into the cabin of the high-speed official boat.

It took more than an hour to finish the three rooms one by one in this way.During this period, two or three girls had woken up.But when they found that their hands and feet were bound and their mouths were sealed, and they couldn't make a sound even if they shouted desperately, they could only shed tears and wait for the unknown fate.

When Zhao Xin and others retreated from Chen Songyuan's house, they looked at their watches and found that the time had passed 12 o'clock.He was a little anxious, because they had to help Shen Jingdan deal with the salt merchant surnamed Wang, and they had a lot to do tonight.However, everything must be done before dawn, otherwise, if there are too many boats on the canal, even a high-speed speedboat will not be able to escape.

With a buzzing sound, the 25-meter-long official boat, driven by the motor, drove along the canal to the east of the river in the south.Along the way, many boatmen were woken up by the hum of motors as they passed the awning boats that were moored on the shore for the night.When they got out of the cabin and checked on the deck with a lantern, there were only two white wave marks left on the canal in the night.

The Li family in Hedong District is Zhao Xin's second target.There are sixteen "skinny horses" raised in this house, ranging from first to third class; there are even a dozen four- or five-year-old girls who have just been bought from Xuzhou.

After knocking out a night watchman, the same steps and operations were performed again.The only difference is that when Zhao Xin and Lu Shoushan killed the mother-in-law who guarded the girl respectively.He took off his mask, and under the light of the flashlight, he squatted down with a smile and said to the little girls who were awakened: "Go with uncle, uncle will take you to a place where no one bullies you, and you can have enough food every day. "

The children of farmers' families mature relatively early. Although a dozen or so children are only four or five years old, they have been helping the family since they were three years old.Years of hunger and poverty have brought them into contact with the joys and sorrows of the world, the inconsistency of the world, and learned some ways of the world.

A girl sat on the bed, looked at Zhao Xin's smile, and after a while suddenly begged in a low voice: "Uncle, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, the other children also begged.Liu Siting had never seen this before, her eyes turned red, and tears fell down.She took out two pieces of chocolate from the pocket of her coat, tore them apart and handed them to the children.Then, he picked up a child in his arms.

"Go with Auntie! Who dares to bully you again, Auntie will kill him!"

"Everyone is obedient, be good, don't make a sound, follow quietly~~" Zhao Xin told each child to lead the clothes of the person in front of them and walk slowly towards the gate of the courtyard.

The "skinny horses" in the yard have been carried into the cabin by Liu Sheng and others.Liu Siting and Zhao Xin are just like the aunts in the kindergarten, holding one and holding the other.The rest of the children, led by Xu Dayong and Lu Shoushan, quietly walked towards the shore.

Suddenly, the lights flickered not far from the alley, and two soldiers who were watching the night walked over unsteadily.

"Who's there?! Stop!"

In the quiet street at night, when the soldiers shouted, Xu Dayong panicked, took the child's hand and pulled it hard, and the girl fell into the muddy water with a "plop".The sharp edges and corners of the cracked stone slab broke the little girl's knee, and the sudden pain made the child cry out with a "wow".Xu Dayong was shocked, picked up the child, and rushed to the speedboat in a few steps.

"Tell you to stop and run away! You are looking for death!" The night watchman was furious, and he picked up the copper gong under his arm and was about to beat it. "Da da da da" four gunshots rang out, Ding Guofeng and Wu Siyu shot at the same time, killing them 20 meters away.

However, they all forgot the gong in the hands of the soldiers!
With a sound of "Duang~~", the gong fell on the stone-paved ground, echoing in the narrow streets and alleys, which lasted for a long time.

"Wow, woof, woof!" The dogs raised by several families in the distance began to bark; and then, the oil lamps in the houses of one family after another were lit.

"Go!" Ding Guofeng and the others rushed over, picked up a little girl in one hand, and ran quickly towards the shore.

The male owner of a family opened the courtyard door, holding an umbrella and holding a lantern, and saw two official servants lying prostrate in the rain. The blood from rinsing mixed with the rainwater flowed to his feet.The man noticed something different, and raised his foot to take a light with the lantern.

"Dead! Come on! Come on!"
