across the heavens

"I said, I said, the admiral lives nearby, only one street away from the yamen!"

Han Dong said in a deep voice:

"You show the way, take me there!"

Yamen servants dare not refuse.

At that moment, Han Dong carried the sack in one hand and the yamen servant in the other, and ran in the direction the yamen servant said.

After a while, they came to a courtyard with high walls.

Outside the door, there is a pair of stone lions that are only available to rich and noble families. The door is closed tightly, and the words "Admiral's Mansion" are mentioned on it.

Looking at the admiral's mansion, he stepped back behind a big tree, Han Dong put down the servant and looked at him.

The yamen servant looked at Han Dong in horror, and begged in a low voice:

"Heroic man, spare your life, heroic man, spare your life, the young one has nothing to do with the admiral, the young one is a local, and he just lives in the yamen."

Han Dong remained silent, took off the yamen servant's clothes and belt, tore them into strips, tied his mouth, then tied his hands and feet, and carried him back to the yamen.

Finding a secluded and unoccupied hut, he put down the servant and said in a low voice:

"Don't struggle at night, you can only go out and call for help tomorrow, otherwise"

The mouth was tied, and the yamen servant who couldn't speak immediately nodded repeatedly.

Han Dong was tied very tightly, and he guessed that even if the yamen servant struggled, he wouldn't be able to break free within two or three hours.

After threatening the yamen servant, Han Dong jumped out of the yamen's wall and went outside the admiral's mansion again in the heavy rain.

Walking around the fence of the Admiral's Mansion, Han Dong climbed up the tree closest to the fence and looked inside.

The admiral's mansion is no better than a yamen, not only has a large number of family servants, but also a team of personal guards patrolling the mansion.

At this time of night, most of the servants rested, but the patrolling guards were still there.

The point is, these personal guards are not the ones with knives and guns, but all of them are holding foreign guns!

However, because of the heavy rain, the patrolling guards did not walk back and forth in the mansion, but hid from the rain in the corridor under the eaves.

Han Dong observed carefully, got down from the tree, came to a deserted place in his memory, and jumped in with a sack in his hand.

The place to enter is remote, and it is difficult for the guards to find it without walking around and patrolling.

Han Dong lurked inside and searched for a long time.

The Admiral's Mansion is larger than Baozhilin, and it is raining heavily, the search progress is very slow, and the results are not satisfactory. After half an hour, the admiral's residence has not been found.

On the contrary, in a warehouse-like room, a large amount of food and two large tanks of oil were found.

While searching a corridor with a garden, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and Han Dong quickly turned around and hid in the garden outside the corridor.

When the footsteps came to Han Dong's hiding place, he stopped, and a sharp voice said:

"Xiao Cui, the master just finished smoking opium and is going to sleep. You go to the master's room tonight. The master is going to watch a theater with foreigners tomorrow. Remember to wake him up in the morning, you understand?"

Another woman's voice sounded:

"Housekeeper, I understand!"

Then, the footsteps gradually moved away.

It didn't take much effort, Han Dong thought to himself.

Get up from the garden and quietly follow behind the two.

It is probably due to Xiaocui's special status, coupled with the company of the butler, the guards on duty are freezing outside, so they just glanced at it from a distance and didn't care.

The heavy rain was getting heavier, and the surroundings were completely dark, except for the lantern in the hand of the housekeeper in front of him, which had a little light.

Han Dong was dressed in black, deliberately avoided, and followed all the way, but he was not noticed.

After a while, when they arrived at the door of a house, the two people in front stopped, probably arriving at the place.

The butler reminded Xiaocui again not to forget to wake up the master tomorrow, and then turned around and walked back.

As soon as he turned around, the butler saw a masked man in black behind him, who opened his mouth and was about to shout.

How could Han Dong allow him to yell, he rushed forward, and before he yelled, he reached out and grabbed his neck, exerting force with his five fingers.

With a sound of "gaba", the butler's neck was snapped off, his eyes widened and he died slowly.

Han Dong let go of the butler.

Xiaocui in front heard the sound of heavy objects falling behind her, and turned her head to look.

Han Dong stretched out one hand to cover her mouth, and chopped her neck with the other, causing Xiaocui to faint.

After dragging the corpses of Xiaocui and the housekeeper to the far wall and putting them away, Han Dong walked outside the gate and knocked on the door with his hand.

"Is it Xiaocui? Come in!"

A person inside yawned and said.

The voice was very familiar, it was the admiral.

Han Dong pushed the door open, then closed it behind his back.

The room was filled with smoke, and the admiral had already taken off his coat and was lying on the bed, probably waiting for Xiaocui.

The life of the feudal officials is really corrupt!

Han Dong cursed secretly and looked at the admiral.

The admiral didn't look at the gate, but when he saw Xiaocui enter the gate but didn't come in, he looked over in surprise.

At a glance, he saw a man in black clothes and a black cloth mask, looking at him with piercing eyes.

The admiral was shocked, shouted that there was an assassin, quickly put his right hand into the pillow, and took out a musket, the reaction was quite unpleasant.

But Han Dong was faster than him, and with a whoosh, he threw a stone out, hitting the admiral's forehead.

At the same time, there was a rumbling thunder, but the admiral's voice did not come out.

There was a lot of blood on the admiral's head, but he was still alive, struggling to shoot Han Dong.

Han Dong immediately added a few stones, each of which hit the admiral on the head.
