Chapter 8: Revenge and the Mystery
Take the gastrodia powder to find a no-man's land, take out a little from the paper bag, try it yourself, he is afraid that this thing is not easy to use, or use it himself first to see the effect, and then he can be sure.
Gastrodia powder is slightly sweet in the mouth, after eating it safely for more than a minute, the body does not feel at all, and when I was thinking about whether I bought fake medicine, I first felt that my tongue was a little numb, then my lips were numb, and then my whole face was numb, and finally I stopped numb until my chest.
After Ping An felt the effect of gastrodia powder, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said that as long as you eat something with gastrodia powder, I can avenge my father-in-law.
An hour later, Ping An appeared at the gate of the mayor's mansion, looked at the magnificent yamen in front of him, snorted coldly, turned around and came to the street near the door, pretending to be a beggar here and waiting for the mayor and others to appear.
Not to mention, these dignitaries who were extremely indifferent before, after coming here, they all seemed to have become "great good people", and they sat here for a long time, and they didn't do anything, but they got more than 30 silver coins.
It's a pity that I didn't see the mayor at all at the end of the day, and until the evening, Ping An looked at the gate of the mansion in the distance, and said in his heart that he might not be able to wait today, so let's come back tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he stood up and prepared to walk out of the city, and just after a few steps out, he heard a voice from behind, and one of them had a loud voice, shouting how the leader was.
Ping'an's body shook after hearing this, and he hurriedly looked back, only to see four middle-aged men wearing guard clothes walking out of the mayor's mansion.
A black-faced bearded man in the center, with a pair of small eyes, makes people look so ruthless, looking at him as if he has seen a poisonous snake, this person is Gao Chao, the captain of the guard of the mayor's family, and he led people to beat Uncle Yang to death.
Ping'an watched the other party walking towards the distance with his subordinates who were talking and laughing, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he hurriedly followed behind them, looked at the superb back, and said ruthlessly: "Let you bury my Uncle Yang for me." ”
After speaking, Ping An tightened the clothes on his body, touched the gastrodia powder in his arms, looked at the backs of the four people, and hung steadily behind them.
The place where the four of them went was not far away, which was a tavern near the mayor's mansion, and after watching the four of them walk in, they turned around and walked towards the back of the tavern.
He knew that this kind of tavern would make some small dishes and let the guests drink, and the kitchen was generally at the back, so he looked around and found that there was a back door behind the tavern, and Ping An reached out and pushed it, and found that the door was locked from the inside.
Looking up at the surrounding wall, he found that it was not very high, and it was not a problem for him to turn over, so he jumped hard, clasped the wall with both hands, and gently crossed the wall with a light kick.
Standing on the wall, his body was lowered, and he looked inside, and found that there was a small semi-enclosed kitchen inside, and outside the kitchen was a small courtyard, and a guy was sitting outside the kitchen washing dishes.
After seeing it, Ping An held his breath and waited quietly, and when he saw that the guy was working hard and didn't notice himself at all, he breathed a sigh of relief, slowly moved to the corner of the wall, and jumped into the courtyard.
The location chosen by Ping An is very good, and the position after landing is just blocked by the stone mill in the middle of the yard, so that the guy can't see here, and Ping An is not in a hurry after landing, and waits quietly.
After a while, there was a sound from the front calling the guy over, and the guy who had just finished washing the dishes, didn't even drink saliva, bowed his head and scolded, and hurriedly walked to the front.
Ping An saw that the opportunity had come, walked out of the hiding place, tiptoed into the kitchen, looked at the vegetables on the ground, and the wine jar stacked in the corner, and sneered. Turn and leave.
Today is too hasty, Ping An is not ready to do it, but to go to the front to observe the tavern, a public place like a tavern, which is not suitable for assassination, after all, there are too many people coming in and out here.
But Ping'an found that since the guards of the Zhang family came here to drink, the other guests saw that it was them, hurriedly got up to settle the bill, and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and he had to wait carefully, these guards of the Zhang family were not something he could afford to provoke. When the guests came in and saw the guards of the Zhang family pushing the cups and changing the lamps, and turned to leave, the shopkeeper was eager to kill the four mourning stars.
Seeing this, Ping An breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in his heart that God is helping me, wait, you will soon be able to pay the price for what you have done.
The four of them drank until midnight before leaving, waiting quietly outside, and after the four of them left, they began to circle around the tavern, thinking over and over again the various situations that would be encountered after the implementation of the plan.
In addition to eating and sleeping, Ping An has been squatting here for three days, and after making sure that these guys come basically every day, he began his own plan, and at night, the sky was dark as if a giant was holding a huge black curtain to cover the whole sky.
Ping An watched Gao Chao and others drinking at the main gate, sneered, came to the backyard, skillfully jumped over the wall, tiptoed into the kitchen, took out gastrodia powder from his arms, came to the wine jar, opened all the seals on the wine jar outside, and poured some gastrodia powder into it one by one.
After doing this, he covered the cloth and walked out of the kitchen, Ping An found that there were a few jars of wine piled up outside the kitchen, and he said that it might be that the guy took it out in advance for convenience, and Ping An saw this, so he quickly took these jars of wine to the kitchen and put them in the corner, took out the jars of medicine and put them outside.
After doing this, Ping An returned to the corner and waited quietly, and after more than ten minutes, the guy entered the backyard and walked towards the kitchen, and after coming to the kitchen door, he picked up a jar of wine placed there, and hurriedly walked out.
Seeing this, Ping An was relieved and crossed the wall and returned to the alley. Slowly walked towards the main entrance of the tavern, and by the time Ping An came to the main entrance, it was already completely dark, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road.
Ping An hid in the shadows, quietly waiting for the effect of the drug to take effect, and while waiting, Ping An found that his legs began to tremble, and a huge sense of fear filled his heart, and he knew that he was afraid.
Before the action, Ping An thought very well, as long as he saw the four of them fall in front of the tavern, the guys in the store would definitely go out to find the doctor, and the shopkeeper would definitely not be idle, once the two left, it would be their own opportunity.
But when it came to the end, he knew how difficult it was to kill someone, looking at the trembling of his legs, Ping An gritted his teeth, and slashed at his thigh, stabbing it, and the thigh was cut by a firewood knife, and blood flowed down the thigh.
Ping An scolded himself over and over again in his heart for being unproductive, so cowardly and wanting to avenge his father-in-law, dreaming!
It may be that the pain and scolding have overcome the fear, Ping'an's legs are no longer trembling, and the hand holding the firewood knife is tighter.
casually ripped off a piece of cloth from his pants to wrap the wound, looked at the main entrance of the tavern with a murderous face, and waited for about ten minutes, and the tavern guy ran out in a hurry.
Ping An guessed that the medicine might have flareed up, and it was a good opportunity to walk quickly to the door of the tavern and see the four captains of the guard lying motionless on the table.
The tavern shopkeeper didn't know where he went, he probably went to the mayor's mansion, after all, these four people were wearing the Zhang family's guard uniforms, and the tavern shopkeeper couldn't afford to offend at all, so he still called the people of the Zhang family early, and he had an explanation.
Ping An looked at the empty tavern and the four enemies lying on the wine table, took a deep breath, walked into the tavern, came to the four people, looked at the captain of the guard lying there, laughed cruelly, slowly raised the firewood knife in his hand, snorted, and slashed at the neck of this person with both hands.
With a click, the blood light collapsed, and the heads of the big people rolled all over the table, and Ping'an raised the firewood knife and shouted: "Father-in-law, Ping'an is the first enemy in your hand, don't worry, the remaining three will go down to atone for their sins immediately." ”
Before Ping'an's words fell, one of the three guards lying there got up and kicked Ping'an hard, and Ping'an was kicked directly by the other party, and he didn't stop until he flew into the corner.
After stopping his figure, he hurriedly got up, and when he saw the guard with a firewood knife in his hand and looking at his guard with a smile on his face, his heart was finished, the other party was not paralyzed, and this time he had to die.
If you want to blame Ping'an for being too noticeable outside, he slashed himself with a knife, and looked at the tavern with hatred, you must know that there were only four of them in the tavern at that time, plus the shopkeeper, and the appearance of the other party was likely to be running for them.
Originally, this person wanted to tell the captain, but after thinking about it, he suppressed this idea, deliberately pretended not to know, and waited for the situation to change.
Fortunately, he was alert, he didn't eat anything, he didn't drink anything, just now when he watched the other party cut off the captain's head in front of him, he was shocked into a cold sweat, if it was someone else sitting here at the time, he was the one who died.
But in reality, there are not so many ifs, looking at the little beggar lying there and unable to get up, this person sneered, first came to the two paralyzed colleagues, waved the firewood knife in his hand, and easily cut off their heads.
Then he turned to look at Ping'an, and sneered: "Boy, what a dog, you actually slashed and killed the captain of the Zhang family's guard and two guards, I think you are impatient." ”
When Ping An saw the other party slashing and killing two companions in front of him, he knew that it was over, and when he heard what the other party said, he smiled bitterly and scolded: "Don't be a bitch and still want to build an archway, if you want to kill, hurry up." ”
The rest of the guards laughed wickedly, and to avoid a long night's dreams, one of them walked up to Ping'an, drew a steel knife from his waist, and slashed at Ping'an's neck.
Ping'an snorted coldly, reached into his arms and sprinkled the remaining gastrodia powder at the guard, this is his last trick, if ......
Before Ping An finished thinking about it, he watched the coat on the guard's left hand take off instantly, and then threw the things that Ping An spilled over, instantly covering the gastrodia powder.
Seeing this, Ping An was finished, and was about to make the other party happy, but he didn't expect that the guard was like an angry bull, rushing up and punching and kicking him, Ping An held his head in his hands, and endured the pain without saying a word.
It wasn't until the guard's anger was gone, that he picked up the steel knife on the ground again, and slashed at Ping'an, who was lying there motionless.
Ping An had been knocked unconscious by the other party, and he didn't know anything at all, and when he saw that the steel knife was about to slash at Ping An's neck, a red light suddenly flashed in the tavern, and the guard's slashing action stopped in an instant, and with a grunt, the guard's head rolled down from his neck.
Looking at the expression on his face, he still had an excited look, obviously he didn't realize that the danger was approaching and he was already dead, and a red-robed mysterious man standing behind the guard saw this, and said disdainfully: "The scheming is okay, the strength is too low, and it is still a waste." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Ping An who was lying there, snorted coldly, picked up a flash and disappeared into the tavern, and another red-robed mysterious person on the roof saw this, and his body moved and disappeared here with his companion.
The mysterious man holding Ping'an checked Ping'an's physical condition by the way while on the way, and found that the kid was seriously injured, several bones in his body were broken, and the bones pierced the internal organs, causing the internal organs to bleed, and if not treated in time, he would definitely die.
Their task is to protect this person, thinking of this, the red-robed monk was quite reluctant to take out a pill from his arms and feed it to Ping'an, and then used his strength to straighten the bones in Ping'an's body, and by the way, he helped him dissolve the pill, and the two of them happened to come to the vicinity of the main street after they were busy.
After the red-robed man casually put peace on the ground, he disappeared into Yong'an Town with his companions.
When the tavern shopkeeper appeared in the tavern with the people of the mayor's mansion, the four unconscious drunks turned into four headless corpses, and the guards who followed the shopkeeper were almost frightened to death when they saw this, and hurriedly searched in the house, and found that there was nothing in the house except for some traces of fighting, and the only evidence left was the firewood knives scattered on the ground, but such ordinary knives could be seen everywhere, and there was no way to check them.
The doctor he found didn't waste it, and pulled the frightened half-dead shopkeeper back from the ghost gate, but looking at the appearance of the tavern shopkeeper, he didn't seem to be excited at all about being rescued, but lay on the bed with a dead face without eating or drinking.
Such a big thing happened in the tavern, and the guards who followed him couldn't be the master at all, so they could only control the shopkeeper and his guys, and they hurriedly ran to the mayor's mansion to inform the mayor.
The mayor didn't get up at all after hearing this, and directly asked them to find the yamen to quickly investigate the matter, he was busy with other things, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the matter of the captain of the guard.
On the other side, Ping An lay there alone, like a frozen kitten, curled up together, no one cared about it, no one cared about it.
