Chapter 383: Assassination
Sayue was so frightened that her face turned white, they entered the city in advance, there were no old guards by her side, this man was not easy to mess with at first glance, Shen Manzhi rushed up like this, it really made her very embarrassed.
Shen Manzhi himself didn't feel the danger, stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm tightly, and threatened sharply: "If you dare to do it again, even if the government doesn't dare to take care of your housework, I will teach you a good lesson, a big man, making such an embarrassment on the street, you really don't want to lose face at all, isn't it, between husband and wife, is there anything that can't sit down and talk slowly?" ”
She persuaded her with good words, but the man didn't appreciate it at all, not only that, but also threatened Shen Manzhi loudly: "Come over to Lao Tzu, be careful that Lao Tzu will beat you together." ”
He pushed Shen Manzhi away, stretched out his hand to grab the money bag in the woman's hand on the ground.
Shen Manzhi squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes were cold, he couldn't bear it anymore, he grabbed the man's collar from behind, tore him away with force, and smashed him in the face with a punch: "I don't understand what people are saying, don't you, you still want to do it." ”
The man also looked at the strong man, in fact, he was a bully who was afraid of the hard, and he was punched, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't stand steadily.
Shen Manzhi was still about to continue to intimidate the other party and promised not to do it, but the woman on the ground did stagger to her feet and pushed Shen Manzhi hard: "Who are you, who is allowed to beat my father-in-law, you are sick!" ”
She yelled hysterically at Shen Manzhi, and the submissive appearance just now disappeared completely.
Shen Manzhi's head buzzed with a roar, and he forgot to react for a moment.
Sayue was also full of surprise, and pointed to the woman and said incredulously: "Hey, eldest sister, are you reasonable, my young master just came to help you, otherwise you will definitely be killed by this man." ”
But the woman had apparently healed her scars and forgotten the pain.
I didn't know what to do, but I beat him upside: "Who wants you to be nosy, this is our housework, and my father-in-law is just playing with me, but you really beat him, if there is a problem, can you afford to pay it?" ”
There is no help.
Shen Manzhi finally reacted to what was happening, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a cold and mocking smile: "It's me who is nosy, I'm sorry." ”
Then, she took out the silver bag from Satsuki's arms, turned around and threw the broken silver inside on the man: "I beat you with my hands, and this little money will be your medical expenses." ”
After saying that, she dragged Sayue and turned around and left, her face gloomy and terrifying to the extreme.
The voice of the man continuing to insult the woman could be faintly heard in the following movements, but instead of making the woman hold a grudge, this insult became more and more dependent on her husband, which was really deformed.
Sayue was indignant, and when she walked to a place where there was no one, she reluctantly opened her mouth: "County Lord, it doesn't matter if she doesn't know what to do, why do you give them silver in turn?" ”
Shen Manzhi rubbed his wrist and said in a calm tone: "Even if I don't give it, they must say that they will go to the hospital for an examination in the end, that man is a gambler, how could he miss the opportunity to blackmail us, it is better to take the initiative to give it and save trouble." ”
"Why is this Western Sage like this, it's disgusting, it's not refreshing at all." Satsuki was very angry, frowning and unhappy.
Shen Manzhi sighed slightly, his face was solemn, and his tone was a little slight and imperceptible loss: "I originally thought that there was a Luwu Academy, and I heard that the person in charge of the Luwu Academy, the princess regent, was a very gentle person who was good at teaching sentient beings, but I didn't expect that the people of the Luwu Academy had not received much education. ”
Sayue heard that she was in a bad mood, and she didn't dare to answer, so she asked tentatively and cautiously, "Then let's go to the academy to have a look?" ”
Shen Manzhi lost his mood: "I'm not going today, let's go back to the inn." ”
Although it is only one or two ordinary people, it does not represent the morality of all the people in the Western Saint, but today's incident still makes Shen Manzhi feel very disgusted and disgusted.
Su Mian arrived at the gate of the Lu Mansion, but heard that Lu Zhe was not in the mansion, and the subordinate said: "Tomorrow the convoy of the county lord of Mengke will enter the city, and our lord was asked by the prime minister and the emperor to be transferred to maintain law and order in the capital." ”
Su Mian frowned, not quite understanding the clue of this, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't there a special person in charge of public security in the capital?" ”
The subordinate replied softly: "Niangniang doesn't know, although there are Jingzhao Yamen and patrol battalions in the capital, but it is still not enough to endure it, and there are not many people who can really call the shots." ”
Su Mian vaguely understood that Lu Zhe should have his own ambitions and plans, so he listened to Liu Ce's arrangement and took the patrol battalion to maintain law and order in the capital.
She didn't want to run in vain, so she asked her subordinates to report and said that Lu Zhe would go to the academy to find her. dm
After going back, Su Mian told Gu Zhixing about this matter, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "After the general is gone, Lu Zhe's life is indeed a little difficult, but he is also a son of a scholar clan, why is the emperor unwilling to even hand over the patrol battalion to him?" ”
Gu Zhixing's tone was indifferent: "What is there that can't be understood, Ah Mian, don't be stupid to be the emperor, when General Lu was still alive, it was faintly rumored that he was a master of high merit, and his death was only beneficial to the emperor." ”
Su Mian nodded as if she didn't understand.
Gu Zhixing looked at her confused appearance, he only felt cute, and lowered his voice to explain: "Now that the general has finally fallen, how can the emperor trust and reuse his son, and Lu Zhe has been drunk and dreamed of death in Baoyue Tower before, although he is the son of the scholar clan, he has no merit, even if someone wants to pull him, he will make some achievements first." ”
Now Su Mian understood, and quickly continued: "So Lu Zhe has not been motivated before, so he has no chance, and now he has finally figured it out, as long as he makes achievements, he should give it, and the emperor has no choice but not to do it, right?" ”
"That's right." Gu Zhixing glanced at Su Mian appreciatively, and quickly said, "Don't torture and worry about other people's affairs, tomorrow the county lord will enter the city, I will be a little busy, so I won't come to the academy to help you, what are you going to do with the academy?" ”
Su Mian's eyes lit up suddenly, and when he mentioned the academy, he felt that he had gained strength, and his tone was relaxed: "Tomorrow is a lecture hosted by Fuji Zixing, and the notice has already been posted, so let's see the effect tomorrow, if the effect is good tomorrow, the next few sessions, I still want to increase the scale of it, so that after a few sessions, I believe that the reputation of our academy will soon be launched." ”
Gu Zhixing nodded: "Then tomorrow I will send some people from the mansion to come over, and the people who will come tomorrow will be mixed, and I don't have time here, so let them come over and watch you, I can rest assured." ”
Su Mian did not refuse this kindness, and pushed Gu Zhixing to discuss the details of the military class.
The next day, when the county lord of Monco came, there was still a lot of uproar, but no one expected that what pushed this matter to a climax was a long-planned assassination.
When the convoy entered the city, Shen Manzhi was on his way to listen to a lecture at Yuwu Academy with Sayue in tow.
When they got to the street, they found that the inn had to pass through the main street to get to the academy, which meant that they were going to collide with the convoy.
Sha Yue originally thought that Shen Manzhi would hide, but who knew that she was interested instead, she must squeeze to the front to take a look, and comforted the frightened Sha Yue: "Don't worry, I just want to see who Xisheng sent to greet me, it's just a good show, join in the fun, it's all here." ”
As a result, as soon as they squeezed out of the crowd, countless arrows pierced the sky and shot towards the carriage in unison.
Lu Zhe was the first to notice that something was wrong, but he only had time to remind: "Be careful!" ”
Bai Xingxing was so frightened that he scurried around and screamed, and the crowd was so noisy that he couldn't hear any movement, and could only hear a frightened scream: "Ah...... There are assassins! ”
Lu Zhe jumped down from the horse, his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction where the arrow was fired, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Don't mess around, make sure to be calm, don't run around, you guys go upstairs to see what's going on, you guys protect the county lord!" ”
The guards sprang into action, surrounding the carriage in circles.
Sayue followed your Shen Manzhi closely, pulling her to prevent her from going to the carriage: "County Lord, let's find a safe place to hide first, it's too chaotic here." ”
Shen Manzhi struggled for a moment, trying to shake off Sayue's clamp and rush out: "No, the creek is still in the carriage, I have to go over." ”
Xiaoxi is a maid who replaces her in the carriage and intends not to get by, just like Sayue, she grew up with her since she was a child, but her personality is not as jumpy as Sayue, she is a very quiet girl, so she was chosen to pretend to be the county lord.
But Shen Manzhi didn't expect to encounter danger.
Sayue exerted all the strength of her body, firmly dragged Shen Manzhi towards the crowd, and did not forget to remind in a low voice: "County Lord, these assassins are obviously coming for you, you are now recognizable in the past, what if you are out of the pool?" ”
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are still assassins who dare to openly assassinate, who can really believe that these guards can protect Shen Manzhi's safety?
Shen Manzhi struggled even more violently, and scolded sharply: "Shayue, this county lord ordered you to let go of me, do you want me to die for me in front of my eyes?" ”
Her voice was too loud, and Satsuki, fearing that her movements would attract assassins in the shadows, reached out and covered her mouth tightly, pulling people to hide behind a stall.
The streets were already in complete chaos, and the assassins in sunspots were obviously only five people, but they had brought down all the guards along the way, and at first glance they were all masters.
Not only that, the people hiding in the shadows did not stop the arrows, Lu Zhe stood firmly on the carriage, and the sword in his hand blocked a lot of feather arrows, but when he couldn't prevent it, in the place where Lu Zhe was not careful, a feather arrow had already hit the people in the carriage.
