Chapter 81: Assassination
As soon as Xiao Yuan's recruitment order came out, it broke the previous routine and caused an uproar in the entire Qin land.
Literati from various counties began to pour into Qinzhou one after another.
For the next period of time, Liu Yuzhi was also busy.
On the other side, Guo Qian's mansion.
Several officials sat together, and the tea on the table was no longer hot, but people didn't have the heart to take a sip, and they all frowned.
"I want to appoint civilians, recruit talents, and serve as an official! This, this is a complete break in the rules! What the hell is he trying to do! Finally, an official broke the silence.
"Can't wait any longer!" Without waiting for others to speak, Guo Qian already said coldly: "It seems that we have to strike first, otherwise, if we continue like this, I will not be able to protect my official position." ”
Hearing this, several other officials couldn't help but slide their Adam's apple, swallowed their saliva fiercely, and some people said in a trembling voice out of fear: "Lord Guo, this, this, kill ...... Kill Taishou? ”
Another human: "If the matter is revealed, we will all die." ”
It is inevitable that someone is afraid, but Guo Qian sneered: "If you don't act, then you will all wait for death!" ”
"This, this ......" An official swallowed his saliva again and said, "Then what is Master Guo's plan?" ”
Guo Qian glanced at everyone and said gloomily: "Now that the mansion is too guarded and heavily guarded, it is almost impossible to assassinate Xiao Yuan, so you can only start from the people around you." ”
"Beside you?" Someone was stunned, and then said: "But those people under Xiao Yuan, such as Peng Shuangye Cheng and others, are all his henchmen, and they can't buy it at all." ”
"I'm not talking about them." Guo Qian explained: "As far as I know, there is only one maid in the entire Taishou Mansion, and Xiao Yuan lives and is taken care of by him, so it can be seen that Xiao Yuan is probably not very fortified against this woman, if we start from here......"
The meaning of his words was already very clear, and the officials present couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard it.
Guo Qian looked at the Lord of Qinzhou again, and said gloomily: "This matter is up to you." ”
"I ...... I? When the Lord Bo heard this, he was so frightened that he stammered.
"What? Don't you have dead men in your house? Guo Qian stared coldly at the main Bo Dao.
"But this, this can be this." The Lord's thin face turned white with fright.
"Nothing! Do you think Xiao Yuan will let you go! Now we're all in the same boat! Only by killing Xiao Yuan can Qinzhou return to the past! ”
Guo Qian is right, Xiao Yuan still trusts Chu Ning more, these days, with her presence in Taishou Mansion, it has become very different, everything is in order.
said that she was a maid, but in fact, she took care of all the work, and she was a housekeeper and a servant.
Two days later, Chu Ning asked Xiao Yuan for instructions, planning to go to the market to buy some things for use in the house.
At this time, Xiao Yuan was with Ye Cheng, chatting while walking in the mansion, and he also nodded directly in agreement with Chu Ning's request, and did not ask too much.
But after he left, he immediately raised his head towards Ye Cheng and said, "Send a few people to follow her." ”
"What do you mean...... Suspicious of Miss Chu Ning? Ye Cheng was taken aback.
"What do you say?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him amusedly, and said, "She is so dedicated, how can she doubt it, it's just that this is an extraordinary time, and it doesn't mean that others won't take advantage of her." ”
"I understand the lowly position, so let's arrange it." Ye Cheng reacted and immediately responded.
Who is Xiao Yuan, how shrewd he is, Guo Qian can think of this, how could he not think of it.
The inner hall of a store in Qinzhou.
"Let go of me! Let me go! Who the hell are you? ”
Right now, Chu Ning has been restrained, and the assassins are two men, one tall and one short.
"Shut up! If you dare to yell again, you will be killed with a sword! The short man scolded fiercely, and at the same time drew his sword in half.
"Huh?" The other person waved his hand, motioned for the short man to let Chu Ning go, then looked at Chu Ning and chuckled: "The girl's name is Chu Ning, right?" ”
The current situation is what Chu Ning didn't expect, she is just a maid in the Taishou Mansion, and if she wants to talk about enemies, there is only Ding Laosi, who has already subjugated the law, how could she be found.
However, although she is a woman, her heart is much stronger than others, and after understanding the situation at the scene, she no longer struggled and screamed, but calmed down relatively calmly, and then asked tentatively: "I have no grievances with you, what do you want to do?" ”
"Hehe, Miss Chu don't have to be nervous, we have no ill will towards you, we just want to ask you for a favor." The tall man smiled again.
"Help? Do I know you? Chu Ning asked again.
"We don't have to know each other, we just need to know that Miss Chu is someone who can get close to Taishou." The tall man continued.
Approaching Taishou-sama?
Hearing this, Chu Ning's heart tightened subconsciously, she was a very smart girl, and she immediately realized something.
Sure enough, before she could ask any more questions, the man had already opened a box, which contained glittering gold nuggets!
A whole box of gold, at the prices of the time, could live a rich life in any country, anywhere, for a lifetime!
It's very tempting!
And gold, it can be circulated everywhere.
There is no one who does not love money, Chu Ning is a woman from a civilian family, in her life, let alone seen it, I am afraid she has never heard of so much money.
No doubt she was a little stunned.
Looking at her appearance, the two assassins couldn't help but glance at each other, and they were quite satisfied.
Then, the tall man said: "How about Miss Chu, as long as you are willing to help us with this, all this gold is yours." ”
Chu Ning reacted, and after retracting her gaze from the box of gold, she also felt her heart pounding, and on the other hand, she also understood that this busyness must have something to do with Lord Taishou.
"Such as ...... How to help. She asked subconsciously.
Hearing this, Gao took out a small porcelain bottle directly from his arms and said, "As long as Miss Chu is willing to pour the things in this into the tea that Taishou drinks, then this favor will be over." ”
"What's this, what's in here?" Chu Ning asked again.
"Hehe, what do you say?" The man asked rhetorically with a chuckle.
Even a fool can understand that there must be poison in the small porcelain bottle, Chu Ning's heart shrank into a ball again, her life was saved by Xiao Yuan, and the revenge of her parents was also avenged by Xiao Yuan.
For the sake of gold, do you want to kill Xiao Yuan?
Her eyes moved slightly, but she didn't speak.
Seeing that she was silent, the man's eyes became a little cold, and he asked faintly, "What, Miss Chu is unwilling?" ”
"No, no, no." Chu Ning hurriedly waved his hand, glanced at the gold again, and said, "It's just that this gold is too little." ”
"What did you say?" When the man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with some annoyance: "Do you know how much gold this is!" ”
"Qinzhou is too guarded, in charge of a place, what kind of identity, his life, is it worth this?" Chu Ning said calmly.
"Huh." Hearing this, the man laughed instead, first chuckling, then laughing, and said, "Good! We didn't find the wrong person! That's only half the story, and there's a box of gold to offer! ”
"If it works out and is too stubborn, then how can I get out of it myself?" Chu Ning asked again.
