Chapter 509: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake (I)
A large, powerful hand with a striking triangular scar on the back of one hand was holding a porcelain wine bowl, which, after colliding with the oncoming bowls, lifted the bowl to a dismal bearded lips, causing the owner of the hand to pour a large bowl full of spirits into his throat.

After drinking a large bowl of wine, Xu Kangcai wiped the wine stains on his lips and said with a smile: "Brothers, I'm not welcome this time, brother." To tell the truth, since entering the East Factory, Lao Tzu and I have always been diligent, and I will never discount what I am told to do, but I have no intention of coming out in a few years. This time, Zhao Juetou has a unique vision and picks me up, and Lao Tzu can finally leave the capital, which is a place of right and wrong. ”
"Boss Xu, you are also lucky, if I hadn't asked you to stay in the yamen on my behalf because of my sudden physical discomfort just a few years ago, would it be your brother's turn to make meritorious contributions?" The other brother said with some envy: "Just because you helped Zhao Juetou before, he would think of recommending you to go to Jiangnan for business." Hey, this time it's a hundred households, even if you have to settle down there in the future, it's better than staying in our capital and the conflict with Jinyiwei. ”
"Haha, this is the time to run, you kid can't envy no matter how envious you are. Otherwise, if you think about it, there were twenty or thirty brothers who were ordered to do things that day, why did Zhao Juetou take a fancy to me alone and send me to Jiangnan? Isn't it Lao Tzu that I am outstanding? Xu Kang boasted a little smugly.
Everyone really couldn't find any other more reasonable reason for this, so they could only laugh and scold a few words, and at the same time remind each other that if they are developed in the future, don't forget these brothers who have struggled together, and remember to help everyone if they have the opportunity. In this regard, Xu Kang naturally agreed, just like he is now a serious hundred.
Seeing that the send-off wine was almost drunk, Xu Kangcai put the bowl on the table, and arched his hand at the brothers in front of him: "Okay, let's go see Zhao Juetou, and then we have to leave for the south." Brothers, we'll have a meeting later! After all, it is indeed a great good thing to be able to rise and leave this place in a posture that he thinks is very chic, which has aroused the envy of everyone, after all, it is very unfriendly to them in the capital now, and it is indeed a great thing to be able to rise and leave here.
"What else do you have to say, Da Tou?" After seeing Zhao Wuxian, Xu Kang had become cautious. Although he looks rude, his mind is quite delicate, and he knows that the more this time, the more modest and cautious he must be, otherwise the benefits in his hands will fly.
A hint of strangeness flashed in Zhao Wuxian's eyes, but fortunately, the other party was bowing down at this time, so he didn't notice this. After calming down his mood slightly, Zhao Dajue nodded to him with a smile: "Yes, like someone who can share it for me, this time to Jiangnan, you just need to remember to keep an eye on the weaving bureau there for me, it will be a great achievement." Also, I will send a few brothers to Jiangnan with you later, they are all masters in our East Factory, with their help, you will definitely be able to help me do my errands. ”
"Yes, the little one understands." Although he felt that he had to go to the meeting with others to divide his power, Xu Kang naturally did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction at this time, and hurriedly agreed.
"Hurry up, don't hurry late, you can get out of the city before it gets dark today. If it goes well, maybe you'll be able to get to Suzhou by the end of the year. Zhao Wuxian urged again.
Seeing that his own adults were more anxious than himself, although Xu Kang was a little surprised in his heart, he also felt very happy, and hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly took the order. At this moment, outside the door, there were already three tall men with cold expressions, and they were the good men of Dongchang who were ordered to take him out of Beijing.
It wasn't until these people left in a hurry that Qin Lie walked over from the side: "Da Juetou, you really plan to ...... him" said for a moment, raising his hand and gesturing at his throat.
Zhao Wuxian stared at the somewhat pale sunlight outside the door with deep eyes and said, "This matter is too serious, I can't leave any hidden dangers for the East Factory." Who can guarantee that we don't have Jinyiwei's eyeliner here? Once they find out this Xu Kang, do you think they will do it again and rush in to take people again? ”
"This ......" Although Qin Lie felt that telling the truth hurt his morale, he still nodded after the silence and said, "This is indeed very possible." Once he really falls into the hands of Jinyiwei, we will be in a very disadvantageous position. ”
"So it's a scourge that must be eliminated as soon as possible. And in comparison, the dead are the safest, you know what I mean? ”
"Xia Guan understands." Qin Lie took a deep breath and replied. But at the same time, there was some sadness in my heart, and I didn't think that unconsciously, Dongchang had completely fallen behind in the face of Jinyiwei. To be honest, he hadn't even thought carefully about how things could take a turn for the worse.
After returning to his residence and getting some clothes to wrap around, Xu Kang happily rode out of Beijing with three colleagues with indifferent expressions and went straight to Tongzhou Wharf. As far as they said, Dongchang had already prepared ships, and as soon as they arrived at the place, they could leave.
So although it was completely dark on this way, the trip of several people did not slow down a little, anyway, after getting on the boat to the south, everyone had time to rest.
But when they came to the vicinity of Tongzhou Wharf, Xu Kang was a little puzzled. Because the dock was quiet and dark, and there was not even a single light to be seen, it didn't look like someone was waiting here.
"This ...... Brothers, what's going on? Didn't he say that someone was waiting for us to get on the boat? Xu Kang looked around with some confusion and asked at the same time.
"Maybe they'll wait a long time for us to rest in the boat. This place is very windy, and it is not comfortable to stay all the time. One of the men replied casually, "Let's go and see." ”
The other two also gave similar opinions, and Xu Kang, of course, couldn't say no, so he walked towards the dock with them. But he didn't realize that the three people had already gradually fallen beside and behind him, blocking his way. At the same time, the hands of the three of them also slowly caught the handle of the knife on their waists, and they would come out at any time.
Xu Kang came to the dock without hesitation, swept his eyes, but cried out again: "Why don't there be a passenger ship docked here, how should we ......" As soon as he said this, an alarm suddenly appeared in his heart, and he suddenly flashed to the side.
"Huh-" A flash of sword light slashed through his original position.
Fortunately, Xu Kang is also a veteran of the battle formation, although he did not panic when he encountered a sneak attack, he dodged to the side again, drew his knife, and shouted angrily in his mouth: "You guys...... What do you do? How dare you do it to me! ”
The three of them didn't expect this Xu Kang to be so difficult to deal with, and they were also stunned. But in an instant, they each laughed cruelly, and they didn't answer, and the three breads were sandwiched, and the weapons in their hands were directly aimed at Xu Kang's chest, neck and other vital points, and the moves were all fatal moves.
Xu Kang was already outnumbered, coupled with the suddenness of the incident, and the canal behind him had no way out, after fighting with these three people for a few moves, he had completely fallen into the situation of being passively beaten, and could only rely on his good martial arts to support him. But he knew very well in his heart that if he continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before he was killed by these three people.
"Why are you doing this? But Zhao Wuxian asked you to harm me? By this time, Xu Kang, who was not too stupid, had already come back to his senses and said tentatively: "Could it be because of the attack on Zhong Yu that he planned to kill people in order to protect himself?" ”
The three of them didn't expect Xu Kang, a big boss, to be able to guess the original situation at once, and they were also stunned, and their movements slowed down. This gave Xu Kang more respite, only to hear him continue to shout: "You can kill me now, but have you ever thought about it, he can kill me today for self-preservation, and tomorrow he can kill you for this matter......"
His words were really useful, and the attack of the three of them was once again stalled. To be honest, everyone in the East Factory has selfish intentions, and there are really not too many people who are just doing things.
But even so, it was just a mess of the minds of the three of them, because they knew very well that if they didn't carry out this order, Zhao Wushu would definitely kill them.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, kill him and bury him quickly, and go back to the errand." After one of them whispered, he attacked Xu Kang again like a storm.
It seems that because of his reminder, the offensive of these people became fierce again, making Xu Kang even more stumbling and passive.
Just when he was forced to the edge of the canal step by step by several people, and there was almost nowhere to dodge, a few crisp slaps suddenly sounded in the silent night: "Good, good, good!" It seems that your Zhao Dajue really has some skills, and he can make a decision on the spot, and the strong man breaks his wrist. ”
"Who?" When the four people who were fighting together heard this sudden sound, they panicked, and the movements in their hands suddenly stopped, and then the four of them looked at the side behind the sound at the same time.
More than a dozen torches of "Hong ......" were suddenly lit up over there, and the four people who had long been accustomed to the night were dazzled. After their eyes adjusted to the current light, they opened their mouths one by one, with a look of surprise and even horror.
It's just that behind them, there are actually fifty or sixty people from the brocade guards, and the first one is looking at them with a smile: "But even if he Zhao Wuxian is cunning, he still falls into our Yang Zhenfu's calculations." Now you guys should just tie your hands and arrest you, we promise we won't kill you. With his words, more than a dozen brocade guards had already pounced on him with agility.
