Start Six Maids

Li Yuchun nodded in response, and stepped out of the office.

After a while, Li Yuchun turned around and walked back.

Looking at Chu Ci, Li Yuchun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chu Ci, where is the Huichun Hall you mentioned?"

"Don't get me wrong, it's your elder sister Yu. She has been having a stomachache these two days. I'll go get some medicine for her."

Chu Ci nodded, expressing his understanding.

"It's next to Bird Clothes Lane. Team leader, if you walk south along Ping'an Street, you will see it on your right."

Li Yuchun got the answer, turned around and left.

In the office, the three of Chu Ci were silent for a moment.

Li Baitian was the first to speak, "I bet five coppers, the team leader must have gone to grab the medicine."

Weekend went on to say, "I bet five copper coins that the team leader must be grabbing the medicine for nourishing the essence and strengthening the kidney."

Chu Ci gave the final blow, "I bet five copper coins, the team leader will definitely not dare to return to Xiuyufang during this time!"

After speaking, the three of them looked at each other and laughed.

At three o'clock in the unitary hour, less than an hour before the night patrol, Li Yuchun returned to the office with a few packs of medicine in his hand.

Li Yuchun put the medicine bag away, and said out loud to Chuci and the others, "It's almost time to watch the night, let's set off as soon as we get ready."

Everyone nodded, sorted out their weapons and equipment, and left the headquarters of the Department of Strange Affair.

On Chang'an Avenue, because the curfew was approaching, there were very few pedestrians on the street, and all shops and roadside stalls were closed.

Li Yuchun looked at the sky, and took out an envelope with wax from his arms.

After tearing open the envelope, Li Yuchun took out the letterhead inside.

"This time our night patrol is from Taikang Street to Anyuan Street in the east of the city."

Chapter 94

Li Yuchun stuffed the letter into the envelope, and then put the envelope in his arms.

Looking at Chu Ci, Li Baitian, and Zhou Zhou, Li Yuchun said aloud, "The people living in the area from Taikang Street to Anyuan Street are either rich or noble. There are ministers of the court, and there are also relatives of the emperor."

"This time on the night patrol, everyone should be vigilant, and don't make any mistakes."

The three of Chu Ci nodded and said, "Understood, team leader."

"go!"

Li Yuchun waved his hand and walked towards Taikang Street in the east of the city first.

The three of Chu Ci followed closely behind, and they arrived at Taikang Street within about a stick of incense.

Compared with other streets, Taikang Street is more prosperous and prosperous.

Although there are no pedestrians on the street, but just looking at the restaurants lined up on both sides of the street and the tall houses and rich mansions, one can imagine how bustling this street must be during the day.

The sky is getting dark, and the willows are slightly on the moon.

Chuci and the others took advantage of the moonlight to walk through the streets and alleys.

Under the quiet night sky, everything was quiet, except for the occasional barking of dogs that broke the silence and spread far away.

Chu Ci and the others walked to a mansion, and suddenly there was an exclamation from inside the high wall.

"what!"

"There are mice!"

Immediately afterwards, lights in the high wall came on, and noisy voices rang out one after another.

"Where's the mouse?"

"There! What a big one!"

"Kill it!"

"Run to that house! Go over!"

"Get out of the way, watch me smash it to death!"

"Squeak..."

"Run outside!"

···

Outside the high wall, Li Yuchun signaled Chuci and the others to stop.

Chu Ci listened attentively to the chaotic voices inside, and asked, "Leader, shall we go in and have a look?"

Li Yuchun waved his hand and said, "No need."

"Let's just mind what happens in the street, and don't enter any mansion unless necessary."

Chu Ci nodded, expressing his understanding.

Li Yuchun listened intently for a while, and realized that there were no monsters making trouble inside the high wall, but only a big mouse, and the servants were hunting it down.

"Let's go."

Li Yuchun beckoned, motioning everyone to continue their night watch.

After walking a certain distance, Chu Ci suddenly stopped and looked up at the top of the high wall.

On the top of the wall, a black shadow suddenly appeared, about the size of a tabby cat, turning its head to look into the wall, creaking.

It was the mouse caught by the boys in the high wall.

Chu Ci stared at the big mouse on the wall, and couldn't help sighing secretly.

This is a mouse?

Good guy big enough!

"It climbed up the outer wall!"

"Shoot it down!"

Inside the high wall, there was a shout.

Immediately, bricks, stones, brooms and other sundries smashed against the wall.

But none of them hit.

"Squeak..."

The big mouse on the wall squeaked for a while, as if mocking the boys who threw things at themselves.

In the next second, the big mouse turned to look outside the wall, and jumped down.

Whoosh!

A black shadow flashed, and the big mouse had already come to the street.

"Huh!"

Li Baitian looked at the big mouse that suddenly ran into the street, and said with a smile, "As expected of a big mansion, the mice raised are so big!"

"Squeak..."

The big mouse looked up at Chu Ci and the others, then turned around and ran away.

Chu Ci subconsciously took out a crossbow and shot an arrow.

Whoosh!Dole!

The crossbow arrow accurately hit the big rat's head, nailing it to the ground.

The big rat's body twitched twice, and then it didn't move.

"Chu Ci, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Li Yuchun asked Chu Ci aloud, "What did you find?"

Chu Ci shook his head slightly, and said, "This mouse is so big, I thought it was a monster."

Chu Ci didn't hear the voice in his head, indicating that it was just an ordinary mouse, but the size was different from normal mice.

Li Yuchun patted Chu Ci's shoulder, and said with a smile, "How can there be so many monsters? In the past, you might not come across any of them during night patrols for a month."

Chu Ci walked up to the dead rat, leaned over and pulled the crossbow bolt from his body, and rubbed the blood on his hair by the way.

Withdrawing the crossbow, Chu Ci said with a smile, "Leader, today is different. A few days ago, a monster attacked the city, so you better be careful."

Li Yuchun was startled when he heard the words, nodded and smiled, "Yes, there is no harm in being vigilant."

squeak-

The sound of the door shaft turning sounded, and a gap was opened in the closed door of the mansion.

A head poked out from inside and looked out. When he saw the three of Chu Ci, his face was stunned.

"Several adults!"

"I just want to see where the big mouse went just now, it's nothing else."

Chu Ci pointed to the quiet mouse on the street, and said, "Where is it? It's dead."

Chu Ci raised his hand to beckon, and then said, "Come here, I'll ask you something."

"Yes, my lord!"

squeak--

The door was opened again, and a servant in blue-gray servant clothes came out.

The servant walked up to Chuci and the others quickly, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen some adults!"

Chu Ci took a look at the young servant and asked, "Who is the owner of this mansion?"

The servant replied, "My lord, this is the mansion of Mr. Wei Tingwei, Sima Wei of the Household Department."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and asked, "It's so lively in the middle of the night, just to catch this mouse?"

The boy nodded and replied, "A big mouse came from nowhere and frightened Madam, so he ordered us to kill it!"

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then asked again, "Are there often rats in the mansion?"

The boy shook his head and said, "Lord Wei and Madam both love to be clean. We clean diligently on weekdays. We rarely see mice, let alone such big ones!"

"This mouse popped out of nowhere, and that's what surprised Madam."

Looking at Chu Ci and the others, the young man cupped his hands and said, "My lords, since the mouse has been killed, shall I return to my wife?"

"and many more!"

Chu Ci stopped the boy, pointed to the dead mouse on the street and said, "Take it away, don't put it here as an eyesore!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The little servant echoed, carefully carried the mouse, and returned to Wei Mansion.

Chapter 95 The family is poor, not even a mouse!

Chu Ci glanced at the closed Wei Mansion, and then said to Li Yuchun and the others, "Leader, let's go."

The crowd continued to watch the night along the street. Li Yuchun asked Chu Ci in a low voice while observing the surrounding situation vigilantly.

"Chu Ci, did you find anything when you asked the boy those questions?"

Chu Ci shook his head and smiled, "Be prepared."

Li Yuchun also nodded with a smile, and stopped asking further questions.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, and a thin layer of clouds drifted with the wind, which happened to block the moonlight, making the surrounding environment even darker.

Chuci and the others patrolled the street and passed several mansions.

Coincidentally, rats were also infested in three of the mansions.

However, the mice were either killed, or escaped, and soon died.

"Coincidence?"
