The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 466 Catching the Thief
Mother Li has been observing the soldiers patrolling outside the house these two days. There are a total of twenty people, on duty in two shifts, ten during the day and ten at night.

Three walls of the Lin residence face the street and alley, and the other wall is next to another house, separated by a distance of two people's width. There is a cesspool between the two walls. The patrolling soldiers do not come here for patrol, and they cannot come in, as this is an uninhabited area.

The thief obviously discovered this and climbed over this wall into the yard at night.

After Yan Ning learned of Aunt Wang's plan, he decided to use the same trick on her, so he dismantled the formations inside and outside the house so that the five thieves could sneak in quietly.

The ten patrol soldiers were divided into three teams, each with three people. Brother Zhang, the leader, appeared as a guerrilla in the three teams.

Brother Zhang is at the side door today.

Mother Li rushed over to stop him and said that again. Zhang Ran narrowed his eyes and glanced towards the side door.

People said that this house was haunted, and Zhang Ran was half-believing and half-doubting.

The instructions given to him by his superiors were to patrol, protect and monitor.

He had no intention of entering the house, and only asked, "Mother Li, is the fourth young lady awake?"

Mother Li thought to herself, Tan Lianxin has indeed woken up, but my queen doesn't allow me to tell anyone else, so I can't say it either.

Mother Li shook her head: "He's not awake yet, but my wife has something to tell Zhang Xiaoge, Zhang Xiaoge, please come in."

He glanced at the three soldiers following behind him and said, "They are coming in with us as well."

Zhang Ran narrowed his eyes again. Although he was just a small soldier, he had led a team for many years and had participated in the national war between Qi and Jiang.

He was from Lucheng, a genuine Jiang citizen. After Lucheng was annexed by Qi, although Tan Lin was made the commander-in-chief to manage the entire Lucheng, His Majesty also sent three Qi guards over.

There are soldiers from Qi and soldiers from Jiang here. Oh, now they are all soldiers from Qi.

Zhang Ran follows Tan Lin and is considered Tan Lin's confidant. Even though he is a small soldier, he is still Tan Lin's confidant.

He is loyal to Tan Lin and is considered to be a man of some ability. Tan Lin values ​​Tan Lianxin very much, so he sent Zhang Ran to patrol.

Zhang Ran is neither stupid nor foolish. After listening to what Li's mother said, he knew there was a problem.

Zhang Ran was silent for a while. Although it was a haunted house, the Fourth Miss was inside. If necessary, he had to break in.

Zhang Ran quickly made up his mind and said to one of the soldiers, "Stay here and don't let anyone out."

Then he said to the other two, "You two follow me in and see what's going on inside."

Mother Li didn't say much after hearing the instructions, but she praised Zhang Ran in her heart for his ability to make arrangements.

Mother Li led the way. As the three of them just passed through the second gate of the middle courtyard, they saw flames all over the kitchen, and a woman's scream was heard from the backyard, but the scream disappeared in a moment.

Mother Li's face changed drastically and she immediately rushed to the backyard.

Zhang Ran's expression changed. He ordered a soldier to go to the fire to see the situation, and he took another soldier to the backyard.

A woman's scream was just heard from the backyard. The Fourth Miss must be there too. He had to protect her safety first.

Mother Li rushed into the bedroom and saw Yan Ning lying on the ground. Her pupils trembled. Just as she was about to pounce on him, two big men in black clothes and masks stopped her.

She was so scared that her face turned pale and she turned around to run, but a big man raised his hand and knocked her unconscious.

Mother Li also fell to the ground.

The big man was about to speak when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

There were a few loud explosions outside, and then it started to rain.

Raindrops hit the eaves and the ground with a crackling sound. There was almost no transition, and it was a fierce storm right away. Five masked men, two went to the kitchen to make a fire, and three were here. Among these three people, there was a leader. When he heard the sound of rain outside, he immediately ran to the window and opened it.

As soon as the window was opened, the biting cold wind blew in, and with it came heavy rain.

In the distance, the flames that had just been ignited were also smashed into pieces by the heavy rain, and in the end only thick fog was left. Under the rain, the thick fog gradually disappeared, leaving only a misty water.

The leader felt uneasy. He asked, "It hasn't rained in the past few days. Why is it suddenly raining so heavily?"

The two companions were also a little uneasy. The rain came at such a coincidence. Moreover, before they came to do the work, they had someone calculate the weather. It didn't say tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but only today, so there would definitely be no rain.

Haizhou is close to the sea and everyone makes a living on the sea. As pirates, they deal with the sea all year round.

When dealing with the sea, you have to understand the weather, otherwise you won’t know when you will die.

There was a very powerful sorcerer in their pirate group who knew astronomy and geography, and his calculations of the weather were almost never wrong.

But this time something went wrong.

Just when the three of them were feeling uneasy and puzzled, Zhang Ran came in with his men.

Zhang Ran only had two people, while the other side had three.

The other side was a pirate who killed people without blinking an eye, and Zhang Ran and his companion gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Yan Ning, who was lying unconscious on the ground, opened his eyes.

As her eyes opened, the fight in the bedroom had clearly taken a different direction.

Zhang Ran and his companion, who were at a disadvantage, gradually gained the upper hand and finally defeated the three masked men.

One big man died, another was seriously injured and could not get up. Another one covered his wound and tried to escape, but was hit by a chair kicked by Zhang Ran. He fell from the window, hit the ground, and fainted.

Zhang Ran and the soldiers went to check the clothes of the three men. After discovering that they were pirates, both of them changed their expressions.

Yan Ning pretended to be awake, touched his head, and asked in a daze: "What happened?"

As soon as Zhang Ran heard Yan Ning's voice, he ran over immediately.

Yan Ning was in the bedroom without wearing a hat. Zhang Ran saw her face and was stunned for a moment.

It’s not that Zhang Ran knew her, but she was so beautiful and looked very young.

I didn’t expect such a young girl to become a widow.

Zhang Ran helped her up and asked, "Doctor Lin, are you okay?"

There were three people in the bedroom, and the one lying on the bed was Tan Lianxin.

Mother Li collapsed at the door.

Then this is Doctor Lin.

Yan Ning stood up with the help of his arm and sat down in the chair tremblingly.

She patted her chest, looking frightened. "I applied medicinal mud to the fourth young lady at night. It's for her face. The mud needs to be applied for two hours. I have to keep an eye on it during these two hours, so I stayed here. I didn't expect someone to suddenly break in."

Zhang Ran was a little bit unconvinced. He always felt that she knew these people would come in advance and deliberately asked Mother Li to call him.

He asked, "You asked Mother Li to call me in, saying that you had something to tell me. Didn't you know that someone broke into the house and wanted me to catch the thief?"
