Chapter 119 The calm before the rainstorm [8000 words](3/3)
Even in Edo, the largest city in the country, once night falls, all areas will become dead and silent, with the exception of Yoshiwara, the only legal red light district in Edo.
This completely silent atmosphere was indeed quite drowsy, and Qingdeng himself felt a little unfocused.
Leading his men through a quiet street, Qingdeng suddenly saw a few lights in front of him - not far away, there were lights from inside a very large mansion not far away.
This is the only place in the entire street where lights are shining. Against the surrounding darkness, the lights in this mansion look lonely like three or two flying fireflies on a summer night.
Qingdeng knew this mansion, which was the famous Fanshu Tiaosuo.
For those who admire foreign learning or want to rely on advanced foreign learning to revitalize the country, the Fanshu Diaochang Institute is a place like a holy place.
Therefore, the most indispensable thing in Fanshu Diao Institute is the kind of people who are full of love and motivation for foreign learning.
A large group of people voluntarily stayed at the Fanshu Diao Institute to work overtime, translating foreign books or studying foreign languages from dawn to dusk - this was one of the most common scenes in the Fanshu Diao Institute.
Because the Fanshu Diao Station happened to be located in the defense area that Qingdeng was responsible for tonight, Qingdeng and the others had passed by the door of the Fanshu Diao Station countless times tonight.
No matter when they passed by the gate of Fanshu Adjustment Institute, there were always lights flashing inside Fanshu Adjustment Institute.
When Qingdeng saw this, he couldn't help but sigh: Don't all the people at Fanshu Diao Institute who are working overtime need to take a break?
After taking a few glances at Fanshu Adjustment House, which looked normal, Qingdeng and others passed through the gate of Fanshu Adjustment House and turned into the next dead street.
——Why has the anti-barbarian group not taken any action until now...
Qingdeng turned his head left and right, looked around, and frowned slightly.
If an anti-barbarian group is found on Ryogoku Hirokoji or elsewhere, Susui and Atsukawa, who are currently in charge of the Kitabansuo, will send messengers as soon as possible to inform various people scattered throughout Edo that "
Find the news about the "anti-barbarian group".
However, Qingdeng has not seen the person who came to deliver the order to him until now... This shows that other places are also calm, and no trace of the anti-barbarian group has been found.
——Did the anti-barbarian group find out that their plan for tonight has been known to us "three times", so they retreated and canceled tonight's plan...?
——Or...it's not yet the time they planned to take action...
Qingdeng's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
For no reason, he has always felt uneasy since just now...
…
…
At this moment——
Edo, Ryogoku Hirokoji——
The "Sanchai" from the Nanban Institute were lurking in the dark alleys of Ryogokuguang Alley, staring at the street outside the alleys with bated breath.
In terms of the level of hardship... the Nanfang Station, which is responsible for garrisoning Ryogoku Hirokoji, may be more difficult than the Northern Station, which is responsible for garrisoning various parts of Edo.
At least the people in the North Station can still patrol and move around, while the people in the South Station can only stay in the hidden dark alleys, unable to move or make any noise.
Many people are now exhausted because they can't stand this intense physical and mental torture, with tired faces and twitching eyelids.
But, at this moment - the silence of the Ryogoku Hiroko Street, which had nothing but the night breeze that blew through the alleys from time to time, was suddenly broken by the sound of a series of footsteps!
Everyone in the Nanban Institute was stirred up by the sound of footsteps. They quickly raised their sights and looked out of the alley, towards the direction from which the footsteps came - the east intersection of Ryogokuhiro Trail.
Only two or thirty figures were seen sneaking out from the shadows at the east intersection.
They formed a formation without any formation and hurriedly rushed into Ryogoku's wide alley.
After shaking their heads and looking at the shops neatly arranged on both sides of the street, they scattered, split into more than ten "groups", and rushed towards the surrounding shops!
If you look carefully, you can see that each "group" has a person holding a huge mallet. These people hold the mallet high in their hands and are ready to smash open the tightly closed shops.
Posture.
The "Three Chapters" of Nanfansuo who have been lurking in the dark alley until now all feel mixed feelings now.
The information is correct!
The people from the anti-barbarian group are really planning to rob Ryogoku Guangxiaoji’s money tonight!
After waiting so long in the damp and dark alley, my efforts were finally not in vain!
Now that the anti-barbarian group has appeared... there is no need to continue to lurk!
"Follow me!" One of the soldiers pulled out the Jushou from his waist and rushed onto the Ryogoku Hiroko Trail at the head of the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people rushed out from their respective hiding places one after another.
The members of the anti-barbarian team looked at the officials who suddenly appeared, and they all looked shocked.
"Run away! Run away!"
"Why are the officials from the execution office here?"
"Don't worry about it! Run away first!"
…
The guys who had just been trying to smash open the shop aggressively threw away the mallets and other equipment in their hands in a hurry, trying to break out of the encirclement.
But they were unprepared for the encirclement and suppression of the officers and men. How could they be the opponents of the Nanfan Institute who had already made all the preparations?
I saw people from Nanfansuo dividing and surrounding the anti-barbarian group from different directions, and one after another members of the anti-barbarian group were knocked to the ground.
"Don't run away!" A certain colleague held down a young man with a lot of moles on his face, "You bunch of scum from the anti-barbarian group, why don't you just catch us without mercy!"
"The anti-barbarian group...?" The young man glanced at the Tongxin in surprise, and then said in fear, "Wait, wait a minute! We are not from the anti-barbarian group! We are not from the anti-barbarian group!"
