It rained like the sky was leaking.
Zuoqiu Jinqian squatted in the shadow of the eaves, his black clothes soaked and clinging to his skin. He stared at the illuminated carved wooden window thirty paces away, his knuckles turning white.
That's tonight.
The figure shaking in the window was exactly his target - Salt Luck Envoy Zhou Papi. This bad official had embezzled river bank money for three years, and seventeen villages were destroyed by floods. It was better for him to sit in the mansion with his concubine in the seventh room in his arms, listening to the rain and listening to music.
Zuoqiu Jinqian spat out the grass stems he was biting.
Moved.
He ran through the rain like a panther, his toes making no sound on the bluestone. Turn over, go up the wall, hook the corner of the eaves, the whole movement is smooth and smooth. The dagger slid from the boot to the palm, feeling cold.
"Sir, why don't you have another drink~"
"Hey, little beauty..."
A lewd smile penetrated the window paper.
Zuoqiu Jinqian's eyes turned cold. The wrist exerted force, and the dagger broke through the window——
"Pfft."
Muffled sound. The laughter stopped abruptly.
He turned over and jumped into the room. Zhou Papi fell on the couch with his eyes wide open, blood blooming from his throat. The concubine next to him opened her mouth to scream, but he knocked her unconscious with a knife from his hand.
Mission accomplished.
Zuoqiu Jinqian turned to leave.
At this moment——
The night sky outside the window suddenly exploded into a dazzling white light! It wasn't lightning. The light seemed alive, twisting and tearing through the rain curtain, and crashing straight towards him!
"What the hell?!"
He could have retreated, but the light was too fast. There was a loud bang, a big hole was smashed through the roof, and tiles and sawdust mixed with heavy rain poured down.
Zuoqiu Jinqian was knocked to the ground by the air wave.
Dust and smoke filled the air.
He coughed and pushed himself up, his pupils shrinking suddenly.
Directly below the hole, someone was lying.
It's a woman.
Zuoqiu Jinqian's scalp was numb.
