Chapter 212: Aftermath

"Keep your mouth alive!" At the moment when the crossbow bolt was activated, Lu Zhen blurted out.
It's a pity that he said this a little late, the arrow had already been shot, and it was too late to change direction, so he directly shot all the six brocade guards through the body, and then fell to the ground and died.
Of course, even if he could have warned earlier, these crossbow-wielding guards around him might not have listened to his orders, and after seeing their own son being assassinated by these guys and almost dying, they had nothing else to think about, and only one thought remained, that is, to kill the assassin on the spot to ensure the safety of the son.
While the assassins fell to the ground, the other guards finally surrounded them, blocking Xu Chengzong behind them, while their eyes kept scanning the ship and outside, obviously fearing that another assassin would suddenly come out and attack Childe. But at this time, the people on the ship were so frightened by the sudden killing in front of them that they could only exclaim, but they didn't even dare to move. As for the river outside the boat, it was a mess at this time, and all the big and small ships were in a mess, and everyone seemed to want to leave the place of right and wrong, but because of the haste and haste, they did not even have time to put away the anchor ropes, and as a result, many ships were crossed, and even capsized, and the shore was in a mess, and it was impossible for anyone to come over again.
On the entire deck, there are only three people left who can remain calm at this time, that is, Lu Jin, Xu Chengzong, and Ah Hu, who is still blocking in front of him.
Although Xu Chengzong's face was pale, he was not frightened by the danger just now, but because he was angry. He really didn't expect that when he knew his identity, these brocade guards would dare to kill him. If Ah Hu hadn't made a timely move, I'm afraid he would have really hit that flying knife.
Under the fear, he was more angry, he stared at the dead corpses on the ground for a long time, and then turned his head to look at Lu Jin: "Why do you want to keep them alive?" At this time, he has long lost his previous style, faintly like an angry lion showing his sharp fangs, it seems that as long as Lu Jin's words are wrong, he will be ruthless to this so-called friend.
Lu Zhen was not frightened by his murderous deterrence, and smiled bitterly: "Now things can't be explained." If you leave them alive, it will be easy for Xu Gongzi to find someone to settle accounts, but now, ......" said with a helpless sigh.
Xu Chengzong is a smart person, and just now he was just a knee-jerk reaction after a sudden attack. Now that Lu Zhen is so a little bit, he suddenly understands, his face has changed slightly, but he is still heavy: "It is true that they should be left with one or two live ......" has a living mouth, even if the lawsuit is brought to the court, he will be justified in front of the Son of Heaven, but now, it has become a dead and unopposed.
Restraining his temper, Xu Chengzong remembered the other two protagonists, and immediately said: "Go and see, how are Xu Gong and the two of them!" β
The guards then remembered that there were still these two victims, so they hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to check, and at a glance, their expressions became solemn: "Childe, both of them are seriously injured, and Xu Dudu's situation seems to be very bad......
"Hurry up and get help. Presumably, the people in the city will also rush over when they hear the news. Xu Chengzong, who had regained his composure, said softly, and then his eyes fell on the song and dance girls, boatmen, and the three scholars who were still shrunk and trembling on the side.
These are the most ordinary ordinary people, but they have never encountered such a bloody incident. Watching these people continue to die tragically in front of them, the impact on their hearts was too great, and some of them even got a little wet under their crotches. And now, swept away by Xu Chengzong's cold gaze, their hearts were lifted again.
They know very well that a little person like himself is no different from an ant in the eyes of Xu Gongzi, and once he really has a murderous intent, I am afraid that he will not even be able to run.
Fortunately, Xu Chengzong quickly smiled and diluted the coldness in his eyes: "I frightened everyone today." These assassins dared to take advantage of the night to touch the boat to assassinate Ben Gongzi, and now they are to blame for being killed by my guards, you have all seen the whole process, right? β
Most people were so frightened that they couldn't understand what he meant. But there are also those who react quickly enough, such as Wang Juren, who has already turned his mind and hurriedly responded: "What Xu Gongzi said is that it was these thieves who plotted against him and wanted to assassinate Gongzi, so they were killed by the guards!" We don't know anything else! β
As soon as they said this, the others finally understood, and nodded in agreement: "No...... Yes, we only saw these guys climb onto the boat and assassinate them, and then they were killed by the guards...... When we meet the officials, we talk the same. β
Seeing them like this, Xu Chengzong's face looked better again, so he nodded and said, "In this way, I will work for you." Today's incident is indeed my misgreeting, and when I get off the ship later, everyone can get ten taels of silver, which can be regarded as a little compensation from this son to you. β
As soon as everyone heard this, the panic just now was immediately replaced by joy, and they all thanked Dade there, and almost knelt down. Xu Chengzong only nodded, and then added: "But today's event I hope you can rot it in your stomach, and no one will spread it, do you understand what I mean?" β
"Yes, yes......" Everyone nodded busily again. Jokes, this matter has something to do with Wei Guogong and Jinyiwei, how dare they have to be, how many heads do they have to dare to talk nonsense.
Lu Jin, who was on the side, looked at Xu Chengzong's words and deeds coldly, and unconsciously re-examined this son. Originally, I only felt that he was not a gentleman, but now it seems that he can become so calm after the sudden assassination, arrange everything in an orderly manner, and leave no trouble, which is enough to show his mind. It seems that he still underestimated the second son of the Xu family......
As Xu Chengzong said just now, the accident here in the port really quickly alarmed the local government, and in less than half an hour, a fire dragon quickly rushed towards the canal, led by the local prefect, and even a general of the Soldiers and Horses.
They hurried to the boat, and only let out a long sigh of relief when they saw Xu Chengzong sitting there unscathed. If Wei Guogong's brother really had an accident here, not to mention being killed, or being injured, I am afraid that they would all be the end of the officials.
Now that he was just frightened and had no other injuries, it was enough for them to go back to God.
After greeting Xu Chengzong again and confirming that Xu Chengzong had not been injured by the assassins, the general of the Soldiers and Horses Division asked cautiously: "Then I don't know where those assassins are now?" Childe rest assured, as long as it is handed over to the last general, we will definitely find out the mastermind behind the scenes. β
Xu Chengzong was about to answer, but Lu Jin, who was on the side, hurriedly replied: "No need." The assassins of Xu Gongzi were the people of Jinyiwei, and now that they have been taken down, they will be taken to Nanjing for careful interrogation. Do you think you can really get something out of the mouth of the brocade guard, this general? β
Xu Chengzong was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he shut up, and let Lu Zhen speak instead of him. When the general heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and at the same time nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it is the last general Meng Lang, and this matter is naturally up to you, Gongzi Xu." Now that the Assassins have been taken, nothing will go wrong. β
"Governor Cen, I have two people here who were injured by assassins because they saved me, and I hope you can find a few famous local Lang Zhong to treat them, as for the diagnosis ......" Xu Chengzong then looked over and said.
The prefect hurriedly agreed: "This is natural, in fact, there is no need for the son's orders, the lower officials have already brought a few of the best Lang Zhong in the city, so let them get on the boat?" "This prefect was very thoughtful, for fear that Xu Chengzong would really be injured by the assassin, so he even brought a doctor for remediation.
"So thank you to Governor Cen Mansion."
"Don't dare." Governor Cen glanced at Xu Chengzong, who didn't seem to want to say anything more in front of him, and said with a flattering smile: "The prince will be tired if he is frightened tonight, so the officials will leave." I wonder if I need to leave some people to guard the ship? β
"No need, those assassins have been taken down, so you won't have to worry about it." Xu Chengzong said, picked up the teacup and sent off the guests.
After the two of them left, and several more nervous-looking doctors were led to a cabin for Xu Gong and them to treat, Xu Chengzong waved his hand to let the others retreat, and then looked at Lu Jin, who was left by him, with a smile: "Lu Gongzi is really resourceful, which is really admirable." β
"It's just a matter of urgency, a small measure, not enough to mention." Lu Zhen also glanced back at the other party with a smile: "But Xu Gongzi, you can see my intentions, it is the real great wisdom." β
"Haha, don't brag about me. If the truth of the matter spreads, presumably soon Jinyiwei and even Wang Zhen will make a big fuss about this and put all the charges on me. Xu Chengzong's eyes were a little cold and said: "In terms of the ability to reverse black and white, they are definitely experts." β
"Yes, but if you had the Assassin in your hand, the situation would be completely different. I believe that not only will they not dare to make a fuss about this again, but they may even make some concessions to make sure that you don't make a move. Lu Zhen followed.
Xu Chengzong nodded: "And I didn't tell them this, but it was the rumors of the officials here, so they must believe it even more." β
"Yes, as for what choice to make next, it's up to you, Young Master Xu, to make this decision." Lu Zhen said and stood up: "This night is thrilling enough, but it is much more tiring than poetry or something, so I will be rude and leave." β
Xu Chengzong smiled and watched Lu Zhen leave, until his figure disappeared, and then muttered: "This Lu Jin, the more you come into contact with it, the more surprising it is." If this man can be of my use......"
