Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 103 Shen He in the Rain

All the soldiers from Guoxin Police Station immediately surrounded them and finished them off one by one.

They killed not only the people from the Imperial City Bureau, but also those "three-watch" killers who were seriously injured and unable to move.

They stabbed the knives into the bodies of the Imperial City Secret Agents one by one as if they were killing a chicken, with no emotion on their faces.

The Bingjing spy who was still breathing, with a look of astonishment, confusion and anger, was completely silent as they attacked him.

"Who dares to cause trouble in Longshan Ferry?"

Suddenly a loud shout came from the distance. Shen He frowned and slowly turned around.

On the long street, Yan Ke, the ferry supervisor of Longshan Ferry, ran over with his sleeves rolled up, cursing.

Behind him followed several minor officials from Longshan Ferry, as well as a large group of ferrymen, sailors, and laborers loading and unloading cargo at the dock.

They were holding a variety of weapons and following the ferryman.

On the other side of the street, a group of people also rushed over and joined them.

That was Jia Mohan, the mayor of Longshan's "Municipal Affairs Office".

Jia Mohan also brought with him a group of minor officials and many merchants he had called along the way.

Among the merchants, there are many strong and powerful men, and many of them are good at fighting.

In addition, many foreign merchants have thugs and bodyguards, and the combined momentum of these people is no less than that of the group of rough guys who came over from Longshan.

When he saw these people, Shen He's face became even uglier.

You bastard, you came so quickly!
With such a large-scale fight going on in Longshan Warehouse, how could it be possible that no one outside would notice anything?

Someone had already reported to the officials of Longshan Ferry and Longshan City.

Officials from Longshandu and the Municipal Trade Bureau thought that another fight had broken out in the storage area.

This kind of thing happens quite often.

Yours has bumped into my goods, and mys has taken up the space where you put your goods.
There were even quarrels between the warehouse managers from the two companies, which would lead to fights from time to time.

They also often have to deal with these things, so they come very quickly.

Shen He frowned and turned around suddenly. He saw corpses lying on the ground, silent and motionless. His brows relaxed again.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on Yang Che.

He remembered that this man was unconscious at the beginning and covered with wounds, so he was ignored. It seemed that no one killed him?

Yang Che fell on his back on the ground, the rain washing over his body. The blood had not yet been washed away and his face was already as pale as paper.

Shen He had a feeling that this person seemed to still be breathing.

He wasn't sure if it was his illusion, so to be on the safe side, he walked over anyway.

Shen He knelt on one knee beside Yang Che and reached out his hand to feel his breath, which was barely detectable.

Despite this, he still reached for a knife nearby and stabbed it without hesitation.

With a "puff" sound, the knife pierced diagonally into Yang Che's ribs.

Based on Shen He's experience, this knife would be able to penetrate his internal organs.

"What's going on? What...what happened here?"

The ferry inspector Yan Ke and the mayor Jia Mohan rushed into Longshan Warehouse with a large group of people. When they saw many imperial officers and soldiers standing there and many corpses on the ground, they couldn't help but feel terrified and their shouts lost their momentum.

Shen He turned his back to them, a faint smile escaping his lips.

He slowly loosened his grip on the knife, put his hands under Yang Che's body and lifted him up.

Shen He supported Yang Che, slowly stood up, turned around and walked towards Yan Ke and Jia Mohan step by step.

His sinister smile had turned into a look of deep sorrow:

"The imperial guards were here to catch a thief, but unfortunately they were killed by him!"

Mayor Jia Mohan asked in surprise: "Who are you..."

"I am Guo Xin's agent Shen He."

Shen He turned around and looked at the bodies lying in a pool of blood, and said with a sigh: "We are too late!"

…Outside the high wall at the northeast corner of Longshan City’s storage area, there are rolling waves.

Here is the canal.

There is a huge juniper tree inside the wall, which is probably five hundred years old.

The juniper is several arms thick, and its entire trunk twists and turns like a dragon. The tree is old and gnarled, but its crown is still full of green.

Six masked crossbowmen approached and immediately raised their crossbows to the sky, aiming at the big tree.

Although the juniper is tall, its twisted branches and emerald green leaves are not large enough to hide a person without being discovered.

One of the six crossbowmen immediately handed the crossbow to someone else and climbed up the juniper.

The twisted tree trunk provided him with a good foothold. This man was also an extraordinary climber and climber. He climbed up the tree trunk as if it were flat ground, stood at the fork and looked out.

Outside, the surging river water occasionally hit the foundation stones under the high wall, but there was no trace on the dark water surface.

Suddenly, he noticed a fresh footprint on the branch. Although the mark was not very obvious, it was obvious that it had just been stepped on.

"The man jumped into the canal from here."

He spoke loudly and looked at the river again.

The canal is very wide and can accommodate large ships.

The plum rain had just stopped and there were no ships on the water. Only the waves were pushing against the embankment restlessly, making a rustling sound.

The man jumped down from the tree and said in a deep voice, "If that person is a good swimmer, he might be able to escape with his life.

"However, he is already injured and has no strength left. I think he will most likely die in the river."

The leader was none other than Di Jiuzhou, the vice-chairman of Qiyun Jinbiao Society.

Di Jiuzhou frowned slightly. The mission they received was to kill both of them.

Now there is one person whose body is missing.

But what can he do in the current situation?
Di Jiuzhou did not hesitate any longer. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Retreat!"

The group of six quickly turned around and left.

The rain was almost stopping. A full cup of tea after they left, Kou Heiyi's figure slowly emerged from the bushes not far away.

It’s not a question of whether he is good at swimming or not, but... he can’t swim at all.

Even if he could swim and was wearing a soft armor woven from metal silk, it would be difficult for him to swim out of the canal alive.

So, after he climbed up the juniper and saw the situation outside the wall, he quickly left a footprint and jumped into the river.

Then he jumped down from the tree, rushed to a patch of grass with a pit not far away and lay down prone.

If those killers took a few more steps towards this side, they would be able to see him.

But they obviously had not thought that a person who lived in the water town of Jiangnan and had extremely superb skills would actually not be able to swim.

So, they took it for granted that someone had jumped into the canal.

Kou Heiyi's adventure was successful.

The wound on Kou Heiyi's face was not that big, but the injury on his arm where a large piece of flesh was cut off was quite serious.

He sat on the wet grass, tore off a piece of his clothes, and used his hands and mouth to simply bandage his injured arm.

Then he looked at the crossbow arrow that had pierced his leg. The arrow had penetrated his calf.

He stretched out his legs, picked up a stone from the grass, placed it under the arrow shaft, and chopped at the arrow shaft with his sword.

After the arrow shaft was cut off, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow shaft that was pierced through his calf.

Blood gushed out, and Kou Heiyi hurriedly wrapped his leg wound with a piece of cloth that he had already torn off as a spare, then stood up with his sword in hand.

When I looked up, I saw a sail passing by outside the high wall.

Kou Heiyi was anxious.

He had precious armor to protect him and a precious sword to break through the enemy's formation, yet he still managed to escape death.

How is Yang Che now?
