The wind was high and the rain was pouring down. The lightning ruthlessly tore through the long night, the thunder rolled from the sky, as if a flood of famine was involved in the world, the timid people had already covered their heads with quilts, children cried, mixed with bursts of chickens and dogs jumping, and people were panicked between the noise.

In a lane near the county office, three black-clothed figures rushed out of it, looking for different directions, their steps were light, like dragonflies dotting water, running away, and disappeared into the rainy night.

Huang Xiao suddenly woke up, instinctively dodged sideways, turned over quickly, and almost at the moment when he just opened his eyes, a firewood knife was slashed down in cold light.

The knife-wielding person reacted very quickly, cutting off the head of the person who had not chopped off Huang Xiao with a knife, slightly disappointed, but he also quickly withdrew the knife and slashed up.

Huang Xiao was furious, but the bed was so big, and in an instant he had been forced into a corner, the light of the knife was like lightning outside the window, cutting through the night, the man thought that he was afraid that he would scream, and at the same time he lifted the futon and threw it at Huang Xiao.

With a pop, the firewood knife slashed on the futon, and Huang Xiao snorted and crawled to the end of the bed. The knife light rose again, the knife wielder moved quickly, and while the blade cut off Huang Xiao's left leg, he had already covered his head with a futon, blood splattered, and Huang Xiao's snort of pain did not cause any commotion in the pouring rain.

The intense pain spread to the depths of his head, and Huang Xiao's body was already trembling violently. The knife-wielding man snorted coldly, crackling and chopping down like chopping melons and vegetables, cotton wool splashed, minced meat mixed with blood splashed out, and the bedding gradually fell silent, and the wriggling body was completely silent.

The bed was already stained red with blood, and the blood of the half of the stump leg exposed outside the futon was still oozing blood, and in an instant, the lightning and thunder became more and more frequent and distant, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it was breathtaking.

The man with the knife watched quietly for a while, probably still a little angry, and his hand raised the knife and chopped it fiercely, like a butcher selling meat in the bazaar, who was cooking good pork belly for the guests.

The commotion outside soon after, and the knife-wielding man listened intently for a moment, ignoring the pile of rotten meat on the bed, and withdrew with little interest, and disappeared over the wall, and disappeared into the rainy night.

At the place where the meeting had been discussed before, the knife bearer waited for a stick of incense, and someone arrived.

When the door was opened, the older man walked in and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, the old man is broken."

The knife-wielding man was terrified, full of disbelief, and tried his best to lower his voice and said: "How is it possible, the eldest brother is so good, just these few wine bags and rice bags, how can it be ......?"

The older man wiped the rain from his face and tugged at his hand, "Let's talk about the details later, if you don't leave, no one will be able to leave." ”

"Master Wu, I'm not leaving." The knife-wielding man pulled out his hand, stopped, and said indignantly: "The eldest brother is as kind to me as a mountain, how can I abandon him and run for my life......"

Saying that he was about to go out, Wu Ye stomped his feet and said in a fierce voice: "It's all this time, you still talk about this, the fifth child asked me to bring you a message, if you don't leave, he won't have you as a brother."

The knife-wielding man froze in place, his expression was complicated, and he couldn't leave or stay.

"Even if he doesn't recognize me as a brother, I can't leave him. The eldest sister is still waiting for him at home, and he must go back. The knife bearer finally made a decision, retreated from Wu Ye, and quickly stepped into the rainy night. Wu Ye sneered, but he also followed.

At the same time, a few streets away, the squad with the Jiangning Naval Division Battalion as the main force was fully armored and took to the street, and the real chaos began in the heavy rain.

Wu Tianqi clutched the standard long knife at his waist tightly, and stood straight in the rain, behind him, half of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division Battalion lined up, and the villagers who were drawn from all over the place stood in the distance, and nearly two hundred people closely surrounded the small courtyard in front of him.

As the supreme official here, Wu Tianqi did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

The reason why he didn't attack was probably because he thought that the enemy would be annihilated in one fell swoop. What happened earlier had not yet spread at this time, and the officers and soldiers involved basically did not know what they were busy with, they only knew that the superiors were collectively angry and were doing it very seriously.

Wu Tianqi is the person who knows the most inside story, of course, he still doesn't know that Huang Xiao, the prefect of Jiangning, has become a pile of rotten meat.

Time went back a little half an hour, and the assassination of the general began at the height of the rain and the darkness of the night. The young man with a firewood knife quietly touched the county office, and he had only one character, killing Huang Xiao in the most cruel and chilling way. The reason why he was asked to do this was probably because he was the most inhumane of the three.

The other two are aimed at the rest of the generals, in the previous siege battle, both sides have met with the target this time, naturally they have good kung fu and good temperament, so it is not too difficult to do these things.

It's just that when they assassinated the commander who led the team over this time in the Jiangning Navy Battalion, they met a Yu Hou who was not in their target range beforehand.

It is also because of this that everyone reacted to the change, and after the scouts were sent to report, a hunt for the rioters added more noise to the already noisy rainy night.

The people woke up from their dreams, cowered and hid in the corners, and the officers and soldiers knocked on the door and rushed in after a search.

Wu Zhixian's face could no longer see any blood, the white wall that was as white as lime, the reason why this was so, in addition to what happened tonight, was also because he saw Huang Xiao's "corpse", when the futon was pulled away, everyone's faces turned green.

The blood foam flowed from time to time in the minced meat, which was shocking, and many people turned their heads and vomited.

Wu Zhixian knew that he was in a catastrophe this time, and his eyes were full of discouragement. Sitting in the hall of the county government, he sat on the chair in a daze, like the angry King Kong of the clay sculpture in the temple.

Jiangpu Lord Bo came in and looked at it from a distance, feeling very uncomfortable. After this incident, the entire Jiangpu officials were to be imprisoned for questioning, and then sent out in one go, he was originally the most likely to succeed to the position of Jiangpu magistrate, but now it is a fool's dream.

"Your Excellency......" When he approached, Lord Bo called softly.

Wu Zhixian glanced up at him, slowly lowered his eyelids, and said in a low voice, "Say it."

Lord Bo bowed down and said, "It's blocked, now wait for your lordship's orders!"

"Blocked?" Wu Zhixian stood up excitedly, even though he knew that it was irretrievable, he still had to do what he had to do.

"Hmm."

"Can you catch it alive?"

"It's hard to ......"

Thunder roared again, and lightning pierced the night, illuminating the "Mirror Hanging" plaque in the lobby.
