Phoenix in the sky

Chapter 378

Ten days ago, the night was pitch black and the stars were dark.

As a border city, Yunzhou is not as prosperous as the capital city, nor as prosperous as Jiangnan.The people are simple, and there are no activities at night. Except for the brothels in the city, even the taverns do not do business at night.

Ordinary people in Yunzhou close their doors and go to bed early as soon as night falls and as soon as it gets dark.

So as always.

But that day was a special day.

What's so special?That day was the birthday of He Feiyun, the magistrate of Yunzhou.

Don't underestimate this little prefect of Yunzhou, he is a person with status and background, the prime minister of the court is his mentor, and the minister of household department is his father-in-law.It can be said that he has two big backers. If he hadn't made a mistake and demoted Yunzhou, he could be said to be in the capital for wind and rain.

Yunzhou is originally a remote city, and generally there are very few lively times.It will be lively for a while except when there are important figures in Beijing visiting.

As for the magistrate, although he has only been in Yunzhou for a year, everyone in the city, whether it is ordinary people or officials big and small, knows that this person has a lot of background.

They have already given birth to the meaning of flattery.

And this birthday just happened to be a bargaining chip used by those who are interested, and they wantonly celebrated the birthday of He Feiyun, the magistrate, in Yunzhou.

Although the scene was not as grand as the royal family, it was still extraordinary.

The entire magistrate's mansion was covered with red silk, and it was full of joy.There is an endless stream of people who give gifts, celebrate birthdays, and congratulate.

While accepting the gift, the prefect's family narrowed their eyes and closed their mouths from ear to ear.

On this day, the magistrate was so happy that he invited all the guards of the city to his house for a drink, and the drink lasted until midnight.

In the middle of the night, except for the bustling magistrate's mansion in Yunzhou City, the rest of the place was silent, and the night was dark and windy.

Somewhere in the city, black shadows began to move one by one, masked in black and holding sharp knives.

They waited for the arrival of their prey on the road.

Finally, one by one people began to come out from the prefect's mansion, hidden in the darkness.

At this time, the men in black moved, and they followed the guards one by one.

When walking to a secluded place, the knife flashed, and a person fell down without a sound.

With such a quick killing method, those guards who hadn't fought all day had no time to react, and they became the souls of the sword one by one.

After a successful blow, the man in black went straight to the gate of the city without even looking at the fallen people.
