Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Assassins
When he was there, these people got into a lot of trouble.
He's gone now, and God knows if they're going to get into any more trouble.
And when he's gone, there's no one to support them. After all, Zhao Mu also wants to go to Yongdu with him this time.
"Brother Xu, don't worry, during your absence, I promise that no one will offend, take care of my beggars honestly, and try to prepare a large number of people for you who can be dispatched at any time before you come back." Huzi said with an oath.
"You don't need people, you just need to manage the affairs of the beggars." Xu Wen raised his head and glanced at the gray sky.
"Look at this, it's going to rain soon, let's go, go back first." With that, Xu Wen turned around and left. Huzi greeted a few times, and hurriedly followed behind Xu Wen and left quickly.
Back at the inn, it was already noon.
During this time, the inn is closed, but there are often some customers who come to inquire.
Xiaoqing cleaned up Xu Wen's things in the room.
Wang Hong claimed to go with Xu Wen, but Xu Wen refused, because Xu Wen still had a very important task to give him.
After explaining the matter to Wang Hong, Xu Wen looked at him seriously and asked, "Are you sure what I asked you to do?" If not, you can say it now, and you can't go wrong with that. ”
Wang Hong nodded, and said with a solemn oath: "Engong, don't worry, what you asked me to do, even if I go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will definitely complete it." ”
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, okay, I'll go cook and have a drink together before we leave." After speaking, Xu Wen left and came to the kitchen to cook.
In the evening, Xiaoqing had already packed Xu Wen's luggage, and according to Zhao Ping, at dawn tomorrow morning, a carriage would come to the inn to pick up Xu Wen and leave.
Xu Wen sat inside the inn and raised his head to look at the top of the inn.
At this time, a man walked in at the door, a man dressed in black.
As soon as the man saw Xu Wen, he hurriedly walked over, "Young Master Xu." ”
"It's you!" Xu Wen knows this man, he is a catcher in the Yamen, and he has been following Li Zhutou before, and he can be regarded as a confidant by Li Zhutou's side.
"Oh no, Xu Gongzi, Li Zhutou has an accident, and now only you can save him." The man looked anxious.
"Something's wrong?" Xu Wen stood up, "What can happen to Li Zhutou?" ”
It stands to reason that it is impossible, Li Zhutou is a head catcher in Xianyang City, although the position is not high, but it is not low.
"That's right, after we finished our errand today, Li Zhutou took us to Chunhualou to drink, and when we came back, we met a group of people, who were officials from the north side of the city. They wanted to repair Li Zhutou, and I finally ran out and hurried over to report to you. Now only you can save Li Zhutou, otherwise, they say that they will break Li Zhutou's leg! The more the man spoke, the more anxious he became.
Xu Wen nodded, this is very possible, now the entire Xianyang City is competing for the position of the chief catcher, this kind of thing could not have happened before, but now it is difficult to say.
"Okay, you can take me there now." Xu Wen stood up and paused, then called Wang Hong over and said, "You can bring some people over in a while, and you can deal with it if something happens." ”
"Okay." Wang Hong nodded.
Xu Wen quickly followed the man and left, walking in the direction of Chunhua Tower step by step.
After walking for a while, it was pitch black and there were no lanterns to illuminate it.
He followed the man and asked, "How much longer?" ”
"Right ahead." The man gritted his teeth and said: "That group of people is really too much, they forced Li Zhutou to leave Xianyang City, and said that they would not only deal with Li Zhutou, but also deal with Li Zhutou's wife and children, so that Li Zhutou could make a choice." ”
"Okay, let's stop talking about that, let's hurry over." As he spoke, Xu Wen quickened his pace again.
This Li Zhutou, although he is not an absolutely good person, has a conscience. He is not a bad person, and it is much better for such a person to be a headcatcher than a headcatcher for those who only think about themselves.
This world is like this, it's not easy for you to find a really good person. Even those Confucian scholars who read, some of them are all sanctimonious. What do you say, you have to be fair, but in fact? Even they themselves don't have justice.
After following the man for a while, Xu Wen noticed that something was wrong.
He looked around and said, "This is not the way to Chunhua Tower!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Xu Wen felt that things were not simple.
Li Zhutou was beaten by the officials of Beicheng, is it possible?
Dare to catch heads? Even if they want to beat Li Zhutou, they will not appear as officials. And if Li Zhutou was really beaten, this man should go back to the yamen and call someone over as soon as possible, instead of coming here to call him over.
Xu Wen stopped, and at the same time, the man in front of him also stopped.
Scold!
The man pulled out the long knife in his hand, turned around and looked at Xu Wen with a sneer, "It seems that you have found out." ”
Xu Wen frowned, he had been deceived.
There was a majestic murderous aura on the man's body, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
He walked towards Xu Wen step by step, the ground was a little slippery because of the rain today, and there was a smell of earth in the air.
Xu Wen looked around, he had no way to escape now, he looked at this man and asked, "Is it Li Zhutou who asked you to kill me?" ”
The man sneered and did not answer.
After a few moments, Xu Wen dismissed the idea. Li Zhutou would never dare to kill him, even if others gave Li Zhutou a lot of money, Li Zhutou would never dare to make a move.
Besides, Li Zhutou still needs him now.
"No, it's not Li Zhutou. Who's that? Xu Wen asked again.
The man laughed and said, "Since you are going to die, then tell you before you die, it was Lord Wu who asked me to kill you, as for who this Lord Wu is, you can think for yourself." ”
Xu Wen racked his brains, Lord Wu? In today's Qin State, the powerful Lord Wu can only think. Wu Sheng, the great history of Fengjiang!
And this person is the person under Chang Yu's hands.
In this way, Xu Wen understood that it was Chang Yu who wanted to kill him.
"That means I'm going to die tonight, right?" Xu Wen turned his head and looked around, "Lord Zhao is behind me, and he has arranged a few powerful masters, you won't know this." ”
"Those masters, I'm afraid they're in trouble right now." The man held the official knife in his hand and approached step by step, "Master Xu, don't blame me, I don't want to kill you." But they have given me too many things, as long as I kill you, they will help me kill Master Li, and from now on, I will be the head catcher in the east of the city. ”
