Chapter 0332 - Assassination
At this time, Yintian was engrossed in watching the tide of the river, a big wave rushed to the shore and was blocked by the rocks, stirring up a monstrous wave, and everyone stood in a relatively safe place to make exclamatory sounds such as "wow, wow, wow".
Among the people who came to watch the tide today, there happened to be a big official, and he was sitting in a tavern called "Star Picking Tower" in Linjiang, holding his beard, drinking wine, and occasionally chanting two pretentious poems, which was exactly what he looked like.
But his happy days were coming to an end, and a man in a blue robe was slowly walking to the downstairs of the Star Picking Tower with his short gun in his sleeve in the crowd.
He stood downstairs for a moment, making sure no one noticed him, then he nodded slightly, and a few ruffian-like people came out from either side and walked towards the Star Picking Tower.
As soon as a few people entered the door, they went straight upstairs, and the shopkeeper immediately rushed over: "A few masters, someone upstairs was wrapped up today, a few masters——"
"Bang" Xiao Er's face was imprinted with a red handprint.
"How do you beat someone?" asked the shopkeeper with a crying voice.
"Don't hit you don't know what grandpa's surname is! Let's go!"
The shopkeeper came out, "A few masters, it's not that I won't go up for you, there is a big official above who has chartered the second floor to watch the tide, and we can't do anything about it!"
"Are you looking for a fight?" asked one of the ruffians.
The shopkeeper saw that I still didn't want to stop them so as not to be beaten, so he ran upstairs first to inform the official first.
He ran upstairs, intending to report the current situation to the official first, when he saw the official facing him, and a person suddenly jumped in from outside the window behind him, and the shopkeeper pointed behind the official and just wanted to say something, he saw this person with a gun in his hand and was about to stab the official in the throat.
Seeing the shopkeeper's expression, the official knew that there might be something behind him, so he hurriedly drilled under the table, and the assassin's short spear burst into the air, and the assassin planted himself into the restaurant due to inertia.
The assassin volleyed into the air and rolled into the restaurant.
At this time, the official also got out from under the wine table and was running towards the stairs, when the assassin got up and ran forward, and caught up with the official.
A few ruffians came up just in time to see the assassin carrying a gun and stabbing the back of the official, and these ruffians were not weak in kung fu, and one of them pulled the official behind him as soon as he could. One of the other jumped up and tried to pounce on the assassin.
When the Assassin saw someone else at the top of the staircase, he immediately turned to run, but the ruffian who jumped up to pounce on him could not stop him, and only ripped off a corner of his robe.
The assassin was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye he jumped out of the window and disappeared, and several ruffians chased him out and disappeared, and only a piece of cloth ripped from the assassin lay on the ground.
The official picked up the piece of cloth and looked at it, and there were exactly two words embroidered on it: Zizhun.
The official knows in his heart that this is a person's word, as long as he checks it according to this, it is not difficult to find out who committed the assassination today. It's also my own carelessness today, I actually came out alone to watch the tide, if this time it wasn't a coincidence that the ruffians came to make trouble, I'm afraid I would be more than lucky.
Who is this official? It is the current emperor of the court, Lord Yu Shifu, and although he is currently in power in the court, the voice of opposition to him has never stopped.
At that time, he never thought that someone would dare to openly stab himself now, and those who are accurate in this word must find out, even if they dig three feet into the ground!
Yintian and the others who watched the tide by the river didn't know what happened to the Star Picking Tower, and when they were about to retreat with the tide watchers, they passed by the Star Picking Tower and found that there were already heavy guards downstairs.
Feng Ya inquired about the surrounding people, and everyone told different stories, one said that there was a dead person here, so it was sealed, another said that an official died here, so it was sealed, and some said that the shopkeeper here was arrested, so it was sealed. Like the people who are watching the excitement now, no one knows what is really going on.
Feng Qiansheng simply suggested that a few of them find a place to live nearby, who knows if Long Ying's whereabouts will be found here?
After a few people settled down, after the ban on the Star Picking Building was lifted today, a few people went there to eat, and by the way, they asked what happened.
This time I finally learned the truth, it turned out that an official was assassinated, so I sealed the Star Picking Tower for investigation, and I don't know if the assassin has been found now.
As soon as a few people heard that it was about the assassination of the court officials, they immediately lost interest, and the people on the rivers and lakes had never been interested in the affairs of the imperial court, so they were ready to leave the next day.
Early the next morning, several people packed up their things and prepared to set off, and when they passed through the yamen, they happened to see a young lady from a large family, to be precise, a lady was beating drums and shouting grievances at the gate of the yamen.
There was a deacon standing beside her in the yamen, respectfully half-bent over, and kept persuading.
Feng Qiansheng felt a little strange, seeing that this lady's headdress was not bad, she should be a high-ranking official lady, otherwise there would have been a yacha who would have come out to catch up, and the deacon in the yamen persuaded with a smile on his face, which was really surprising.
He glanced at Hyun-ah, who came to a small alley next to the yamen, and listened to the conversation between the deacon and his wife, just like the other people watching the excitement.
"Mrs. Cao, I said you should go back, Lord Cao will be fine, and we will send him back when we finish our investigation!"
"Who are you? Who are your lords, how dare you be a little county magistrate to arrest the leader? If you don't release Leader Cao, I won't leave!"
When Xianya heard this, it turned out that this was the chief's wife, no wonder she could be so domineering. The first level of the leader is already second only to the level of generals, and his subordinates can be regarded as people with soldiers, and those who dare to arrest the leader must have a large rank. But why did you arrest this leader?
Xianya thought to herself, if there is no accident with the leader of Cao mentioned in the mouth, it should be Cao Qiu and Cao Zizhun, then he is a fierce general! If he is arrested, this matter has to be paid attention to.
Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Cao say: "I don't care, if you don't release Leader Cao today, I will beat the drum here until you release the person for me!"
When the deacon heard her say this, he turned around and walked into the yamen.
After a while, a few big men suddenly rushed out of the yamen, and it should not be the officials in their attire, but the clothes of the soldiers in the capital. Several people rushed out and dragged Mrs. Cao into the yamen without saying anything.
Mrs. Cao didn't come by herself, her entourage immediately stepped forward to stop it, and as a result, a team of soldiers came out of the yamen, and even Mrs. Cao's entourage also pulled into the yamen!
