A modest dwelling. in the backyard.

Beder was dressed in ordinary clothes, his expression was gloomy, and his eyes were mad.

At this moment, Bader is already a person without a knighthood, and is really relegated to being an ordinary person. Because of Li Zhen's matter, he implicated his father, and the family was also affected. That's right, Bader didn't have the face to see his parents, he didn't have the face to stay at home, he had moved out of the house and found a small house to live in, and he was quiet and quiet.

Du Shi has not been back for several days, has been staying at his mother's house, and Bader has no face to pick people up.

He sat in the courtyard with a needle in his right hand and a rag doll in his left. He kept pricking the needle, and his mouth muttered intermittently: "Li Zhen, I won't let you go." Since he was born, he has never suffered such a disgrace. Now that I have lost my title and face, and the woman will not come back, it is all caused by you, and I will not give up if I don't kill you. ”

At this time, Bader was already crazy, and his mind was a little unconscious. He threw away the needle in his hand, kneaded the rag doll that represented Li Zhen, and vented the anger in his heart.

"Master, there's news."

Outside the courtyard, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old rushed in with a happy look on his face.

The young man's name was Du Yuan, and he was Bed's personal attendant.

Bader asked, "What's the news?" ”

Du Yuan danced and said happily: "It's about Li Zhen!" ”

"Smack!"

Bader was angry in his heart, and when he saw Du Yuan's happiness, he was angry and slapped Du Yuan's face. He also knew that it was inappropriate to beat Du Yuan casually like this, so he found a reason and shouted angrily: "Won't you finish it all at once?" Quick, explain the whole thing in detail, and don't sell it. ”

Du Yuan covered his face, extremely sad in his heart.

He stood respectfully with his back bowed, and said honestly: "The villain just got the news that Li Zhen has received the emperor's holy decree, and will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning, return to Guangzhou to mobilize soldiers, and then go north to Yangzhou to establish the Jiangbei camp and start suppressing bandits." ”

Bader exclaimed, "Impossible, how could Li Zhen leave Beijing so quickly?" ”

Du Yuan said: "Master, it's a good thing that Li Zhen left Beijing." ”

"Smack!"

When Bader heard this, he slapped him again.

This time, Bed's slap slapped Du Yuan's other cheek, and he scolded loudly again: "What a fart, if Li Zhenruo leaves Beijing, who will you take revenge for the humiliation you received?" Such a big thing will never be forgotten. This time, Li Zhen must be let know how powerful his master is, so that he will not return, and it will be difficult for him to return to Guangzhou. ”

Du Yuan persuaded and said: "Master, you and Li Zhen have confronted each other and become what they are now. If you continue, I'm afraid ......" As soon as he said this, Du Yuan saw Bader waving his hand, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated two steps back.

Bader snorted, hooked his hand and said, "Du Yuan, come over immediately!" ”

"Young master, don't hit me!" Du Yuan said.

Bader shook his head and said, "I won't beat you, the young master will still expect you to go out on errands." ”

Du Yuan took a step forward suspiciously, bowed down and said, "Young Master, what do you command?" ”

A chill appeared at the corner of Bed's mouth, and he took a step forward, his right hand was complete, and then he swung out a punch. I only heard a snap, and my fist hit Du Yuan's eyes. In an instant, Du Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and his eye sockets were also red and swollen. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Bader squarely, not even daring to show a trace of dissatisfaction. Because he is a slave in the house, he can only stay in the house for the rest of his life.

Du Yuan said in a low voice: "Master, what do you command?" ”

Bader snorted and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know where to get the Assassin?" ”

Du Yuan chuckled in his heart, shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know!" ”

Bed waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I tell you, there is a manor outside the western suburbs of Beijing. This manor was where the Assassins gathered. After you go, you directly report the name of the master, and then buy Li Zhen's head with 50,000 taels of silver. You first bring 20,000 taels of silver as a down payment, and when it is confirmed that Li Zhen was killed, the master will give the remaining 30,000 silver. This matter is only allowed to know, not to others, if it is leaked, you don't want to live. ”

Du Yuan knew the seriousness of the matter, felt embarrassed in his heart, and said solemnly: "Master, I can't help it." If the news leaks, the family will be implicated and you will be punished. ”

"If you don't say it, who will know," Bed said. ”

Du Yuan sighed and said, "Master, there is no impermeable wall in the world, you have to think twice!" ”

Bader was indignant in his heart, and roared angrily: "Think twice, think twice, what did you think about staying in the yard every day?" All he was thinking about was how to kill Li Zhen. As long as Li Zhen dies, it is impossible for Yi 60 and others to die with their father-in-law for a dead person. Besides, the order you went to place, only you and the person who executed it knew about it, and it was impossible for other people to know that I had someone assassinate Li Zhen. What's more, God knows that you know what I know, and nothing else will happen. ”

Du Yuan scratched his head, still trying to persuade, but when he saw Bed's fierce gaze and clenched fists, he could only do what Bed's idea was. Du Yuan nodded in response, took 20,000 taels of silver from Bed's hand, and quietly walked towards the western suburbs of Beijing. When he came to the manor, he entered the manor without any problems, following the slogan given by Bed.

Du Yuan was led to a room and sat down, waiting slowly.

After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in outside. The middle-aged man looked at Du Yuan and said with a smile: "According to the old rules, let's say, who are you going to kill!" ”

Du Yuan said: "Li Zhen! ”

"Li Zhen?"

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and said: "Assassinating Li Zhen is not a simple matter, he is in the limelight, and he is very favored by the emperor. If Li Zhen is killed, he will definitely be investigated. But there are two sides to everything, and if you can afford it, we can do it. If we can't afford it, we won't be able to take this order. ”

Du Yuan said: "One price, fifty thousand taels of silver!" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It's too low, no!" ”

Du Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "In this case, I can only find another person and say goodbye!" ”

He stood up, turned and walked outside.

When he was close to the door, the middle-aged man said, "Wait a minute, we will take 50,000 taels of silver." However, I must pay 20,000 silver as a deposit, and I have to confirm who placed the order. Otherwise, if I kill someone, I don't know who placed the order, and who will pay the money when the time comes, in case you pay the bill, won't I lose miserably? ”

Du Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "The person who placed the order is the son of Bed, the son-in-law of Lord Du Han. ”

A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, nodded, and said, "Okay, give some money first, and then wait for my good news, you will definitely be able to catch it." ”

Du Yuan paid, stopped staying, and turned to leave.

It's just that he was faintly uneasy in his heart.

This time I was looking for someone to assassinate Li Zhen, and the matter was already very big. If you can kill Li Zhen, it's easy to say that the matter can't be traced. If the emperor really wants to investigate thoroughly, it will definitely be easy to leak the news, and it will be difficult to do it at that time. However, Du Yuan also knew that Bader had lost his mind and would not think about the rest of the things.
