Chapter 172: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
Did you sleep?
I couldn't help but be angry, you slept peacefully, but you know we didn't sleep last night!
The red-jacketed boy smiled and said I'm sorry, like this, when I kill you for a while, I will try to be as gentle as possible, and if the master is happy, I may leave you a whole corpse. I sneered, then I can thank this young master.
The girl in purple looked at me and said, Are you Su You? I thought it was three heads and six arms, but it turned out to be a head and two legs. I'm talking nonsense, the three-legged one is the bench.
The young man said, "Someone has given you thirty-eight taels of silver, let us kill you." After the deed is completed, the final payment will be paid another eight taels of silver.
I said that the man really looked up to me, and there were still zeros and whole numbers, and he didn't make up whole numbers.
Zhang Youqian laughed heartily, tears were about to fall.
I don't have a good airway, is it funny?Zhang Youqian nodded.
I took out fifty taels, pointed at Zhang Youqian and said, you want to kill me, and by the way, you will also kill this person. Zhang Youqian said angrily, Lao Tzu's life is only worth fifty taels? I snorted and said, you are content, four taels more than me.
I asked again, this young man, since we are all dying, we must tell us who sent you to kill me, and it is more than forty taels of silver, so let's die to understand.
The third child, what do you ink with them, just kill it.
Zhang Youqian said Ouch, this girl is not very old, but her temper is not small, if you want to move my brother, you have to ask me if I agree with the knife in my hand.
The girl asked, "Do you agree with your knife?"
Zhang Youqian laughed, and then said seriously, it said that there was no opinion, but there was one condition.
What conditions?
Zhang Youqian said that it said that if it agrees, it is no problem, and first remove the veil that covers your face.
The girl in purple said angrily, you entertain me, look at the sword.
When Chang pressed the sword spring with his hand, two peerless swords popped out, and with both swords in his hands, he attacked Zhang Youqian. At the same time, the boy also burst out, and two full moon scimitars slashed at them from an extremely ingenious angle.
I shouted, what a handsome swordsmanship.
This man and woman, one makes two swords, one makes two swords, the moves are strange, and natural, although the internal force is slightly inferior, but it is not like an ordinary martial artist, it should be a shallow background of the sect, look at their subtle moves, but the murderous spirit is insufficient, it seems that it should be just out of the rivers and lakes. I muttered to myself, I haven't heard of such two people in the rivers and lakes recently.
In a trance, the young man grasped the flaw, drew two arcs in the night sky with his double knives, and slashed his head. At this moment, on the blade of the knife, there was a brilliant glow, as if in an instant, his realm suddenly soared.
I was taken aback, it turned out that this young man had been hiding clumsy, and the internal force of the Star Sea instantly poured into the blade of the knife, and the two of them collided.
When!
The boy stepped back five or six steps. My chest was tight, and the true qi in my body swirled, dissolving this true qi.
In that room, Zhang Youqian was also very difficult to deal with the girl in purple, but his mouth was broken and chattered, girl, you have a good figure, and your face must be good. By the way, your veil is very beautiful, it should be pure cotton, well, I saw a similar model in Ruifuxiang, it doesn't seem to be cheap. Why are you sweating, do you want to wipe the sweat first.
The girl in purple was angered by Zhang Youqian, and her sword moves became even more aggressive, making Zhang Youqian clumsy. The girl can't attack for a long time, and with a coquettish sound, the sword is combined!
When the young man heard this, one turned sideways and joined the purple-clothed girl, and the two of them attacked us with two swords and two swords. The scene changed suddenly, it turned out that these two people joined forces, and this swordsmanship was so exquisite. Zhang Youqian also shouted, knives and knives together!
I said in my heart that we haven't practiced again, where did the combination of two knives come from. I laughed and looked at the magic sword!
The two of them were together, Zhang Youqian broke away from the battle circle and wandered around the courtyard, and the two couldn't catch up with Zhang Youqian, so they joined forces to attack me. I said in my heart that I was joking, on light work, I was Zhang Youqian's grandfather, so I took a lost step and ran wildly in the courtyard.
In the courtyard, the four of them launched a fierce competition.
Zhang Youqian shouted, running with the wind is the direction of freedom, chasing the power of thunder and lightning, and putting the vast ocean into my chest, ouch, I didn't hit it......
Where have these two seen such a scoundrel play, especially the woman, who shouted angrily. After all, the two of them were young and their internal strength was insufficient, and after half an hour, the two of them finally exhausted their strength and sat on the ground panting roughly.
Seeing this, the two of us hit the acupoints of the two of them. I carried a steel knife in my hand and came to the two of them, the young man's face changed greatly, what do you want to do?
I snorted and said, "Just now you wanted to kill me, and you delayed my sleep all night, and now you ask me what I want to do?
The young man shouted, you dare to kill me?
I put my hand into the boy's arms, and while groping, I said, Who rarely kills you. After groping for a long time, he didn't find what he wanted, so he turned to the woman in purple and reached out.
The young man said angrily, he has the ability to rush at me. Don't do anything to my sister.
The woman was annoyed and angry, but the acupoint was pointed, she couldn't move, and shouted, "If you want to touch me, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself."
I said that it is none of my business whether you die or not, so I will ask a question, what about the thirty-eight taels and three coins? The young man said don't touch her, it's in my boots. I punctured his boot with a knife, took the silver ticket out of it, and kicked it into my arms.
The young man said, okay, you take the silver, let us go.
I asked, "Who are you, and who commanded you to come and kill me?"
The teenager hesitated, I can't say.
I put a steel knife on the woman's face and said if you don't say it, I will scratch your sister's face. Look at this little face, it can be broken by blowing, if you come to a knife, how can you marry someone in the future.
Although the woman in purple only showed half of her face, she also looked like a beauty. It is a woman's nature to love beauty, these women can see death as home, but they can't accept being disfigured, I cheated like this, the woman was tearful, and she actually cried.
The young man couldn't see his sister being bullied, so he said in a loud voice, I said, I said, my surname is Xu, my name is Xu Feng, this is my sister Xu Jiao.
When Zhang Youqian heard this, he said strangely, Xu Yufu is your father?
Xu Yufu is an important minister of the imperial court, and his two children are well-known gentlemen in the capital, and this gentleman is not Zhang Youqian's son, Zhang Youqian is the son of the richest man, although he is known as the four princes, his status is still much worse than these two.
When I entered the capital at the beginning of last year, I heard rumors about this sister and brother, the two of them are good and chivalrous, and they are well-known in the capital. Unexpectedly, I met two people here.
When the young man heard this, his expression immediately became different, since you know, why don't you let us go quickly?
I said you're here to kill us, does your dad know?
The boy said, how do you know, but what if you don't know?
As soon as I heard it, I knew that these two guys were being used, Xu Yufu loved his baby children very much, how could he let them do such a thing, the only possibility was that the two of them were used by others and came to test our reaction.
Someone shouted, kill someone!
Zhang Youqian suddenly reacted, oh no, turn the tiger away from the mountain!
The two of them didn't care about the brother and sister, they hurried all the way and came to Sipingyi. The reason why this post station is called Sipingyi has two meanings, one is the Sifang Shengping, and the other is the Siping and eight stable, but now, in the Sipingyi, it is full of corpses.
More than 20 masters of the Cao Gang, as well as 30 officers and soldiers, were poisoned together. The nine cars escorted were nowhere to be found. searched around, but did not find the bodies of Feng Bao and Lu Congjiang.
In Siping Yi, someone walked out tremblingly, it was the Yicheng surnamed Song. I stepped forward and pulled Song Yicheng and said, Who did it? Song Yicheng's whole body trembled, they were all officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers! I looked around, but I saw a steel knife in the field.
This steel knife is generally long in handle and blade, and is forged from fine iron.
I know this kind of knife, this is a wolf knife, which is the standard configuration of the Western Army, that is to say, the tribute silver was robbed, and it is related to the Western Army. There are only two possibilities for deliberately leaving a wolf knife at the scene, either it was accidentally left by the Western Army, or someone deliberately framed it for the Western Army.
When they went back, the Xu siblings were nowhere to be found.
The two looked at each other, and Zhang Youqian asked, what should I do?
I secretly thought in my heart, escorting Gongyin into Beijing, although the Jinling garrison is the main force, but the Six Gates and the Weaving Bureau will not escape the blame. I think things are a bit strange, if some people have intentions, there are opportunities along the way, why do they choose to be in the official post less than two days away from entering Beijing?
The two discussed and decided to stay here and let Song Yicheng go to report to the official.
There were no traces of a fight at the scene, and after investigating for a long time, it was concluded that these people were poisoned to death, and as for the wounds on their bodies, they were mended after death, which can be seen from the blood stains on the corpses and the injured parts of the officers and soldiers and the masters of the Cao Gang.
So the question is, what role did the Xu sisters and brothers play in it?
The robbery of Gongyin shocked the government and the public.
Under the nose of the capital, some people intercepted and killed fifty or sixty people and robbed the tribute silver, which was no longer a matter of the amount of money, but a very bad nature.
Sifangyi belongs to Hejian Mansion, when we entered Hejian Mansion, we reported to Hejian Mansion according to the process, this incident happened in Hejian Mansion, according to the principle of territorial management, Zhao Xingde, the governor of Hejian, can not get out of the relationship.
For a time, the impeachment of Zhao Xingde was like snowflakes, saying that Zhao Xingde's negligence in management led to this tragedy.
In desperation, Zhao Xingde wrote to resign.
Hejian Mansion is the hometown of the elder Xu Yufu, and this Zhao Xingde is also a student of Xu Yufu. Song Siqi, the current cabinet assistant minister and the Ministry of Industry, is about to give office, and it is rumored that Zhao Xingde is the most promising replacement, and he has set the tone in the cabinet deliberations.
But now this incident has happened, and Zhao Xingde's road to the cabinet has taken a turn.
Emperor Zhu Runze was furious and ordered the three major secret agencies of Jinyiwei, Liumen, and Dengwenyuan to work together to solve the case, and ordered the case to be solved within ten days.
As the key figures in the silver robbery case, we were also asked to stay in Hejian Province to cooperate with the investigation, although there was no restriction on personal freedom, but the officers and soldiers around us could not enter and leave freely.
Three days later, the joint case-handling team arrived in Hejian Mansion, and the person sent by the Six Doors to investigate the case was Chen Qingyang, a jade-faced Rakshasa widow.
