Chapter 37: The First Assassin

"Father-in-law, looking at the current situation, if you want to stop Shen Chongming from re-entering the court, I'm afraid it's impossible, if you want to achieve your goal, the only way is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future!" Song Qingyang said fiercely. Shen Chongming's resurgence is something he must not tolerate.

Feng Bao nodded, "What you said is indeed reasonable, but unfortunately now that the emperor is worried about Shen Chongming, I am afraid that the emperor will not give up if he kills him at this time." In the final analysis, Feng Bao was also afraid in his heart, if he became like this today, how could the emperor not be anxious.

If he harmed Shen Chongming's life, how could the emperor, who had already pinned his hopes on him, let him go, and the previous trust was heavy, but I was afraid that it would be over.

"Hehe, my father-in-law's words are wrong. Now that Shen Chongming's resurgence is not good for his father-in-law, it is even more undesirable for him Zhang Juzheng to see. If Shen Chongming is stabbed to death, I am afraid that the first thing the emperor thinks of is Zhang Juzheng, and you, father-in-law, will be to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Song Qingyang chuckled softly. All kinds of things are powerful here, and he has already thought clearly in his heart.

"This ......" Feng Bao hesitated for a while, "but now that Lei Leopard, the bastard, has also taken refuge in Zhang Juzheng, we want to assassinate Shen Chongming, who is heavily guarded by our side, but we don't have a competent manpower." And once we pass through the Thunder Leopard, this matter will have to fall on us sooner or later. ”

Looking at Feng Bao's helpless face, Song Qingyang smiled and said, "Father-in-law, although this Thunder Leopard Kung Fu is powerful, it is not invincible in the world. There is a way that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, as long as a large amount of silver is used, there is no master to serve. ”

"Hehe, Qingyang, you still see these things very thoroughly." Feng Bao smiled very agreeably, "There is no need to be so troublesome, several stall leaders in Dongchang are all in Jiangnan at the moment, although these people have a personal relationship with Lei Bao and are commensurate with brothers, but as long as we say a word, they will give up their lives and forget about death,"

Seeing Feng Bao so proud, Song Qingyang was also clear in his heart, since the relationship between Lei Bao and Zhang Juzheng was clear, Feng Bao didn't mean to be anxious at all. It's not that he can't provoke Zhang Juzheng, but he doesn't put Lei Leopard in his eyes at all. In charge of the Great Seal of the East Factory, who is appointed as the head of the big stall, that is just a matter of his words.

However, in this matter, he was not as simple as Feng Bao thought, shook his head and said: "Father-in-law, if the manpower of the East Factory is used, it will definitely be set on fire at that time, and if a supervision is not good, it will make a big fuss about the small people." ”

"Yes." Feng Bao frowned and thought hard about countermeasures. If the manpower of the East Factory can't be used, then it will cost money to hire someone to be a killer, and this silver is all his own heart.

Knowing that Feng Bao loves money like his life, he must be distressed by his own silver at this time. Thinking of this, Song Qingyang didn't say anything more, this matter has to be decided by his father-in-law, otherwise the money will have to come out by himself.

After racking his brains for nearly a quarter of an hour, Feng Bao finally thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. I saw the originally sad face,

"Qingyang, come here with your ears." Feng Bao said with a mysterious face. Seeing this situation, Song Qingyang's heart suddenly suddenly, this old eunuch should not have any bad intentions.

After whispering a few words in his ear, Feng Bao smiled and said: "Qingyang, what do you think of our family's strategy, without spending a penny, you can easily take Shen Chongming's life, hahaha." ”

Looking at Feng Bao with a smug face, Song Qingyang couldn't help but have a smoke line on his face, talent, this old eunuch is really a talent.

Putting aside this thought, Song Qingyang nodded and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, this matter will be handled properly, you just wait for the good news." ”

"Well, our family is naturally relieved that you are doing things. Remember, no matter how much money you spent, you must get it back with a lot of money! Feng Bao admonished, and he almost asked for the silver cubs.

Leaving Feng Bao's private residence, Song Qingyang immediately went home and pondered the matter behind closed doors. It's easy to say, but it's not easy to find such a person, especially if you have to act quietly and not leak the news.

After thinking hard for a long time, Song Qingyang finally had a little eyebrows. This matter is urgent, so we can only come step by step, and now what we have to do is to find a way to find out who is the most famous among those assassins who specialize in murder. Since you want to do it, you have to do it safely, and you will take Shen Chongming's life at one time.

After all, he is a court official, although he is not in the rivers and lakes, Song Qingyang's path is still very wide. In just half a day, the case record of Dongchang Yougui fell into his hands, and at the same time, several famous bags in the capital appeared in a famous teahouse in the capital.

There is a way that peers are enemies, and a few guys who thought they were the first to inquire in the capital slammed into each other, and they were immediately stupid on the spot.

However, several of them are all smart people, and when you look at this situation, you can know that everyone is coming to see the same big person. Thinking of these, I can't help but be more curious about the big man I am about to meet, who is this person, and there are not many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital who have this ability.

"Gentlemen, my master is invited." Just as a few people made eye contact, a man dressed as a small servant walked out.

Look at this little guy's arrogant face, a few bags inquired and had a bottom in their hearts, I am afraid that they are people in the officialdom.

"I'm sorry to bother a few people to come late at night. Each of those things outside is a piece of it, it's not a valuable thing, and it's a heart. Song Qingyang, who was invisible behind the bead curtain, said with a smile.

A few bags who were originally beating drums in their hearts inquired and looked up, but saw several plates of white flowers of silver neatly placed on the table on the side, and at a cursory glance, the silver stacked on a plate was probably no less than two hundred taels.

There was a big gesture in his heart, and the expressions of several people became more respectful.

"Let's get straight to the point, let's invite a few people here today, in order to find a few famous assassins in the rivers and lakes, I don't know if you know such a person?" Song Qingyang asked while looking at the case record of the East Factory in his hand.

According to the case record, the number one is the star picking saint Sikong Wang. It's not that he's been an assassin, but Dongchang ranks him according to his strength, and finally comes to the conclusion that if Sikong wants to be a killer one day, then he is definitely the most powerful one. After all, the thief who comes and goes without a trace, and the unguardable thief kills people, which is definitely the biggest threat.

However, this is not in Song Qingyang's consideration, he wants a bounty killer, not a theoretically existing number one assassin! It is precisely because of this that Song Qingyang is faintly disappointed with these things recorded in Dongchang, and wants facts, not inferences!

"This gentleman, the villain knows such a person. But the law doesn't pass on to the six ears, you see ......" was silent for a while, and a bag inquired cautiously. This person, let's call it No. 1 bag and inquire.

Song Qingyang was happy in his heart, it seemed that he was on the right path. "A few gentlemen, I have ordered someone to prepare a supper in the private room next to me, and I invite you to go and enjoy it."

The rest of the bags naturally knew the rules when they inquired, so they thanked them and retreated.

Seeing that only he and No. 1 bag were left in the room to inquire, Song Qingyang couldn't wait to ask, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

No. 1 Bao inquired about what it should be, and whispered: "This gentleman, if you want to say that the most powerful assassin, you should be a plum today." ”

"A plum?" Song Qing raised his eyebrows and frowned, and immediately rummaged through the case record in his hand, he had seen this case record himself, and it seemed that there was no such number one person.

After a hasty flip through it, Song Qingyang was sure that there was indeed no such number one person on the case, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is this person very famous?" ”

"Mr. Hui, do you think a real assassin will be famous?" Bag No. 1 asked with a smile.

Song Qingyang's expression was stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing: "It makes sense, it makes sense." Tell me, sir, how did you know about this person? ”

"Hehe, sir, you've broken the rules. There is no need to get to the bottom of the matter, but you can clearly tell Mr. that the villain has never seen his true face. However, the villain can know one of his characteristics, every time he succeeds, he will leave a plum blossom next to the target, and he has never missed so far! This is where his nickname comes from. No. 1 Bao's smile did not decrease, but he blocked Song Qingyang's question.

The more interested Song Qingyang became, the more he believed the words of this pack, after all, if an assassin became famous, then he would not be far from death. And this man can even be an assassin so elegantly, so cautiously, he is definitely a master among masters.

"There is a deal right now, I wonder if Mr. can teach me to find a plum?" Song Qingyang pretended to be flat and asked. In fact, he already knew in his heart that this guy in front of him must have a connection with Zhimei, and maybe he was also trying to solicit business for him.

No. 1 Bao hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "If Mr. Hui says, it is not difficult to find a plum. It's just that this person has always asked for a high price, I'm afraid that you don't want to do this business, sir. ”

Song Qingyang laughed and said, "Silver is not a problem, you can afford any price." ”

"The starting price is 50,000 taels, and the price will increase depending on the difficulty of the target!" The No. 1 package inquired and said that the starting price of 50,000 taels of silver was one mouth. At this number, even Song Qingyang was a little taken aback, with such a big appetite.

But in this way, he believes a little more in his heart, master, the asking price is naturally high. "Hehe, 50,000 taels of silver is not a big amount. As long as it can be successful, you can pay double afterwards. ”

"This plum has always been clearly marked for trading, but this double is not necessary. It's just that you have to pay a deposit of 20% before you start, which is not a penny. No. 1 Bao finally revealed his true face, and he really solicited business for Yizhimei.

At this time, Song Qingyang had basically concluded in his heart that this Yizhimei was the candidate he wanted to find, and said loudly: "This is not a problem, I will give it to you now." ”

With that, he took out ten silver tickets worth one thousand taels from his bosom and stretched out his hand to hand out the bead curtain.

No. 1 inquired about the excitement in his heart, and without thinking about it, he stepped forward and took the silver ticket. "Sir, who do you want to target?"

"Nanjing City, Shen Chongming, the Duke of Zhongguo!" Song Qingyang said with a murderous face, I want to see if this guy in front of him dares to take over this business for Yizhimei.

The No. 1 bag that had just put the silver ticket in his arms couldn't help but pause, and his face changed instantly, but then it returned to normal. "This gentleman, the price has risen to 80,000 taels."

Upon hearing this, instead of being angry, a smile appeared on Song Qingyang's face, he Shen Chongming was worth this price!

"That's six thousand taels." Six silver tickets with a face value of 1,000 taels were thrown out, and Song Qingyang said indifferently: "The deadline is twenty days, can it be done?" ”

"Sir, rest assured, in twenty days, the news of Shen Chongming's assassination will spread all over the world." No. 1 inquired and said with an affirmative face. This is completely guaranteed.

"Okay, the ...... I'm waiting for good news. Song Qingyang said a little excitedly, listening to this, this is called a master's demeanor. A contact task bag is so imposing, and that Yizhimei is afraid that it is even more so.
