At this time, the guards around Jia Cong included Long Aotian, Zhong Yin, Wu Sange, Wu Zhuangyuan, and several sailors on the ship, Liu Xianglian and others were in the shift, fortunately, the above four were all good hands, but today's incident made Jia Cong extremely angry.

Borrowing a knife to kill someone, or buying a murder, he has done this kind of thing a lot, but today he finally tasted it.

It is not surprising to say that officialdom will inevitably have open guns and hidden arrows, depending on what the individual has done and to what extent.

Like when Wei Zhongxian's minions were rampant in the world, Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei were all instigated by the people of Suzhou and beat them to death on the spot!

Sending someone to assassinate an official of the imperial court, did this kind of thing not exist in ancient times? No, it depends on whether the person is clean or not.

But, in general, this is doomed to leave no room for error!

Now is not the time to think about the murderer behind the scenes, Jia Cong pressed down the anger that rose to the extreme, and asked calmly, "How many assassins are there?" What about the casualties here? ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, and the adults are frightened!" Zhong Yin Cheng replied in fear: "There are three assassins in total, one was killed, two escaped, and the two who escaped were wounded in the abdomen and back, and these two people's swordsmanship was good, but the water nature was excellent, so that we couldn't find out...... Two sailors died on our side, Wu Zhuangyuan was seriously wounded, and the rest were only lightly wounded......"

"The two sailors who died, ask if they have any family members, and pass on a pension of thirty taels, and if they have no family members, they will be regarded as burial expenses, and the rest will receive ten taels each after they go back...... Collect the corpses of the Assassins and go back and look at ......"

Wu Zhuangyuan and the others looked grateful, they originally thought that the adults would punish them, but in fact, it was useless for Jia Cong to punish and get angry at this time, he couldn't solve the problem, he had to calm down.

Treating the subordinates of the soldiers, Enwei is simple to say, but it is always the word "En" first, Qi Jiguang has compared it, Wei is a ship, En is the rudder, and they are enough to work hard.

Every time he sweated profusely for days, especially this time he was frightened and escaped from death, Jia Cong was also in a cold sweat, no one was not afraid of death, but there was a little good thing that his wind chill quickly improved, but his left arm was injured again, and it was only a little away from the bone.

Second Sister You pierced the wound in the back, and Third Sister You was also helping, and she put on a cloak for him at the moment, so that he would not be ridiculous.

Jia Cong saw a hundred households with two general flags, and rushed to this side with heavy and powerful steps, he gritted his teeth and insisted, and said softly: "You guys go back, I have something to do......

The two women stopped in place hesitantly, those two pairs of beautiful eyes had a touch of distress, and tears were still in the corners of their eyes, but the next thing should not be seen by women, Second Sister You cried: "Don't say it, let's go back." ”

Third Brother Wu took them out and walked on the gravel road, Third Sister You walked for a while, crossed her hands on her waist and said, "I'm like that, what else are you doing?" Since you're going to be strong, go for it yourself! ”

After speaking, she threw herself into Second Sister You's arms and cried, Second Sister You moved her lips and patted her back gently.

"It's too late for the last general! Forgive your sins! Han Baihu came closer, knelt on one knee from the distance, gave a military salute, and did not dare to raise his head.

Jia Cong is still the imperial history of the prison army, whether it is the Zhenjiang camp or the Jiangbei camp, they will not offend him, but will please him.

Ten soldiers of the Dashun battalion are a small flag, five small flags are a general flag, two general flags belong to one hundred households, and there are two general flags under Han Baihu.

"It's not too late, it's just in time." Jia Cong sat on a chair and said lightly: "Who threw the mine?" How did you get in? What about the people in the water? ”

When the lowly saw the flare, he immediately ordered the people to come in. In order to prevent the assassins from escaping, the mines were thrown by the subordinates. ”

Jia Cong knew that mines had been there for a long time and could explode in the water, but he didn't know what the effect was, after all, he hadn't experimented in person.

Yangzhou is one of the nine major banknotes in the world, and it is a land and water metropolis that travels from the south to the north, so it naturally has heavy troops.

It was also the battalion soldiers who defended outside the Slender West Lake in order to curry favor with him, and Han Baihu said uneasily: "The lowly rank was negligent, because the lord did not give orders, so he did not evacuate the crowd here, and those assassins must have mixed in like this......"

It also means to shirk responsibility, but Jia Cong doesn't care about this, and after a while they salvaged two people, it turned out that an assassin was really killed, and the mines were really powerful, and many of the soldiers in the south were sailors, familiar with ship operations, and equipped with water weapons, but firearms were scarce.

The other assassin was the one who almost killed Jia Cong, who was brought up by the two general flags, kicked him brutally in the back foot, knelt in front of Jia Cong, and cursed: "Dog officer! Fish and meat people, grass and human life, don't want to ask something from the uncle! ”

Jia Cong's gaze suddenly became vicious, and thousands of ways to rectify people had just come to mind, but this majestic strong man had a trace of black blood flowing from the corners of his mouth on both sides, and the blood was still sticking between his teeth: "Hahahaha......"

The scene fell silent.

Looking at the assassin who fell to the ground and died, Jia Cong took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Take them back to the post station and ask someone to dissect their corpses and take a look!" ”

Han Baihu's heart was cold.

……

"Who sent the Assassins?"

"Who wants to kill him the most?"

“…… It may not be the case, it is also possible that someone is secretly muddying the waters......" Jasven sighed and said: "But no matter who it is, this matter is a big problem, the dignified emperor Qin sent a patrol to press the imperial history, and he was killed during his illness, not to mention the level of the imperial court, from our point of view, who can stand this kind of means?" The person behind the scenes is too stupid! I don't know which side to take! ”

"Sometimes the easiest way is the best way to do it...... Now the most dangerous is the prefect of Yangzhou, and this kind of thing happened under his rule...... It can be seen that the bones of our salt road are not easy to gnaw, and whoever touches them will die...... Hey, hey, hey......" Yan Ming was laughing tremblingly, but he was a little worried.

Because, now Jia Cong is a victim, and righteousness is on his side, no matter which official at this time, he will come out to support Jia Cong, at least on the surface, who can bear to be assassinated by someone when an official of the court takes office? Isn't this an encroachment on the interests of the entire gentry class? No! It's a threat to their lives! How!

The officials of Yangzhou City, large and small, including Jia Siwen and Yan Ming, who were secretly hostile, all expressed their condolences to Jia Cong's injury, and basically everyone gave gifts routinely, and they left the post station at this moment.

Jia Cong was assassinated, the people are nothing, but the officialdom of the entire Yangzhou City seems to have a nine-magnitude earthquake! It is said that the prefect of Yangzhou got up from his wife's bed, and after hearing the news, he fainted directly!

"So...... Who sent the Assassins? ”

Miaoyu's jade hand pressed on Jia Cong's shoulder, looked at the wound a few times, turned her head, and her eyes were hazy with tears.

"They did it cleanly...... Jia Cong sneered: "It's all disemboweled, and nothing is found...... The people who want to kill me the most are none other than those salt merchants and the people behind them, who have colluded with officials and businessmen since ancient times, and cannot escape......"

"Could someone deliberately fanning the flames......

"No matter who it is, after today, don't blame me for turning the sky in Yangzhou upside down!" The corners of Jia Cong's mouth were cold, and this time his heel was bigger, "The salt administration belongs to the Jiangsu Department of the Ministry of Households, and now it is my people who are acting as agents." Since there are people who leave no room for it, from today onwards, I will not leave room for anything and be a bad person through and through! ”
