"Ahem"

Just when Su You grabbed the collar of the old man who guarded the door, a fake cough came from the backyard at the right time, and then three or five people walked out under the guidance of two little maids carrying lanterns.

"Humph!" Su You thought that it should be the main man who was about to arrive, so he immediately let go of the old man's collar.

"I don't know what position Shangguan holds, why did he come to my Yuan family's other institute?" Before the young man at the head came out, he shouted angrily to Su You; In the thinking of these sons and brothers, the first question is undoubtedly the issue of identity, and then they will consider the second question - whether they should bully the soft or be afraid of the hard.

Su You felt a little familiar when he heard his voice, and when he looked closely, wasn't this the youngest son of Yuanshou? Su You will not forget that the day after he just returned from the Turks, in order to attract the attention of Lai Yanbei, this thing actually played a dangerous equestrian trick in front of Su You and Lai Yanbei, and then Su You's foot finally ruthlessly crushed his face

What face does this defeated general have in front of him?

It's just that he is not in the Eastern Capital for the New Year at the moment, but what is he coming to Pengcheng County for?

Su You stared at him quietly, and said with a smile, "Yo, isn't this a little boy?" What, pretend not to know? ”

Yuanshou's youngest son obviously knew that the person who came was Su You, but he didn't expect that his trick of pretending to be confused would be broken by the latter in an instant, so he forced a smile and said, "I, Yuan Shangliu, a commoner, dare to climb the three-rank master of the imperial court?" ”

Yuan Shangliu's words obviously indirectly admitted that he knew Su You.

Su You immediately hit the snake with the stick and said, "Since Yuan Gongzi doesn't doubt my identity as a royal doctor, he should cooperate with us to thoroughly search for gangsters in this courtyard, right?" ”

Yuan Shangliu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su You didn't mention the fact that he was picked up that day, but said toughly, "It seems that Dr. Yu Shi doesn't have the right to trespass into people's houses, right?" If Su Yushi could get the search warrant from the Pengcheng County Government, he would not stop him. The question is, can you take it? ”

"I can't take it out." Su You shook his head dryly, then flicked his sleeves again, and said with a dashing expression, "But this official is the bitter master of this case, according to the "Great Sui Law", this official has the right to arrest the murderer before reporting to the official, in case he goes away." ”

"You keep claiming to be your own official, but all you can use is the identity of the bitter master." Yuan Shangliu obviously didn't mind laughing at Su You for a few words, and after laughing, he asked mysteriously, "What if this son doesn't agree?" ”

Su You stared at Yuan Shangliu's face, of course he didn't believe that there were only six or seven people in this courtyard, so he asked tentatively, "Then how do you agree?" ”

"I won't say yes to anything." Yuan Shangliu said this sentence categorically, then clapped his hands and said calmly, "Come out." ”

Yuan Shangliu greeted him, and then heard a sound on the roofs of several houses near the front yard, and then more than a dozen guards armed with strong crossbows appeared.

In the cold moonlight, the arrows of the strong crossbow reflected a faint blue light, and it was obvious that those crossbow arrows had been quenched with poison.

If this Yuan Shangliu used these crossbowmen to sneak attack him, how could he have the strength to struggle? When Su You thought of this question, his back was scared into a cold sweat again, but he still asked Yuan Shangliu Dao in a fierce voice, "According to the "Great Sui Law", it is forbidden for people to carry bows and crossbows, where did you get these weapons?" ”

"Can you handle it?" Yuan Shangliu asked rhetorically with his nostrils facing the sky, he now has absolute strength, of course there is a reason to be angry.

"Okay, you kid wait!" Su You had no choice but to put down this cruel sentence, and then said to his subordinates, "Let's go." ”

Everyone followed Su You back to the post house, and there was a sense of grievance hidden in their hearts, they had no way to vent, let alone dare to talk to Su You, why wasn't Su You like this? Generally speaking, he is still not well prepared, if he takes the three hundred guards given by Yang Guang to go to Jiangnan, why is he afraid of Yuan Shangliu's more than ten crossbowmen?

Yuan Shangliu appeared here, and he must also want his own life!

When Su You thought of this problem, he couldn't wait to give birth to a pair of wings and fly to Yangzhou, and then take a big move to kill the Zhangjia Boat Company and the Yuanjia Boat Company in one go; It's just that the Zhangjia Boat Company can be seized on the grounds of killing the Kaifeng merchants, but what about the Yuan Family Boat Company?

"Hengbo" came to Yanbei and felt that Su You was not asleep, so he immediately snorted.

"I'm fine." Su You smiled and brought Yanbei over.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Yuan family, Zhang Mo was lying in the basement under the firewood room, and said breathlessly, "I'm fine." ”

Zhang Guoli, who served him to lie down, could only cry silently, Gongzi was hit by an arrow in the crook of his foot, and this arrow even pierced the kneecap, if it weren't for Gongzi's great perseverance, and chose the Yuan Clan Courtyard as a stronghold, I am afraid that he would inevitably faint to death in the wild

Zhang Guoli sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about how to face Zhang Xin in the future, but he heard the sound of footsteps.

Zhang Guoli silently clenched the hilt of his sword, but when he saw that it was Yuan Shangliu and a few of his entourage, he slowly let go of his hand; He stood up, saluted the latter, and then asked calmly, "Third Prince, Su You is gone?" ”

"That's natural, after Su You saw my crossbowman, he could only walk away." Yuan Shangliu said unashamedly, Originally, it was not difficult for a gate lord like him to want to fight a cold family like Su You, but why did he feel so happy today.

Zhang Guoli nodded, but his face showed regret, "I knew that the third prince had such a sophisticated weapon and such a loyal dead soldier, and it would not be necessary for my son-in-law to be seriously injured to assassinate Su You; But after Su You knew about the secret power of the third prince, he was afraid that it would not be so easy to start. ”

Yuan Shangliu was a little unnatural when he said it, he came to Pengcheng today to kill Su You, but after Zhang Mo found him, his selfishness was strange, looking at Zhang Mo, who was obviously more anxious than him to Su You's death, of course he was happy to use Zhang Mo as a gunman.

After all, the crime of assassinating important ministers of the court is not so easy to bear, if it is Zhang Mo who kills Su You instead of himself, this can not only escape the crime of assassinating courtiers, but also catch the handle of the Zhang family, why not?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Moyi was bold, but he returned home.

The reality is always too cruel, what a painful realization.

At this time, Yuan Shangliu was robbed of a few words by Zhang Guoli, and in addition to scolding the latter for a few words of "old goods", he did not refute it.

After all, although Su You didn't die, he didn't have anything to lose, did he? Even if Su You's trip really wants to investigate the monopoly of the canal, he still takes Zhang's boat company first, right?

Thinking of this festival, Yuan Shangliu's mood suddenly improved a lot.

"Kill Su You, you just look at this son's. Let your son-in-law recuperate well, just wait to hear my good news. Yuan Shangliu looked at Zhang Mo who had fallen asleep, turned around and left.

Zhang Mo heard him leave, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "There is not enough success, but there is more than failure!" ”

Zhang Guoli nodded, and was about to close the door that Yuan Shangliu had not closed when he left, but he heard a scream.

"Could it be that something happened?" Zhang Guoli suddenly had a bad premonition, but he still closed the door naturally, sat on the edge of Zhang Mo's bed, and blew out the light.

"Uncle Guoli, are you okay?" Feeling Zhang Guoli's uneasiness, Zhang Mo couldn't help asking.

Zhang Guoli had countless guesses, but he could only say lightly, "It's okay, it may be that Su You went and returned, he doesn't look like a person who gives up easily." ”

"Possibly." Zhang Mo nodded and said in a low voice.

There are indeed people who go and return, but it is not Su You in the mouths of Zhang Mo and Zhang Guoli, but Wang Bodang and Zhai Rang.

After Lu Zhongsu's father and son, Wang Bodang and others returned to the post station, they remembered that Su You was indignant when he was deflated in front of Yuan Shangliu, the so-called "king humiliated the minister to death", Su You was insulted, what is the difference between them being slapped in the face?

Moreover, they also thought of that possibility, if those crossbowmen wanted to be unfavorable to Su You, how could they guard against it?

The result of the discussion was of course to destroy them before they made a move, and then Wang Bodang and Zhai Rang volunteered to be assassins as well, and Lu Zhongsu's father and son were naturally not far behind, but in the end they were persuaded by Zhai Rang, after all, Su You's safety is also a problem, isn't it? Su You's side also needs someone to protect him.

Yuan Shangliu came out of the basement under the firewood room, just in time to see two black shadows flashing in front of him, he thought he had met a ghost, and then launched a scream.

Then he heard a "boom", and a feathered arrow shot into his mouth, so that the last cry of his life could not be uttered in its entirety.

"Someone, there's an assassin!" Several of Yuan Shangliu's entourage were not slow to react, and immediately shouted, and then heard the sound of the bowstring being released, and then Yuan Shangwu's three entourages fell down together.

"Brother Wang kills three people with one stone, it's really a miraculous shot." Zhai Rang didn't expect Wang Bodang's archery skills to be so high, so he praised it in a low voice, and at the same time played soy sauce happily.

Wang Bodang was naturally very happy when he heard Zhai Rang's praise, and then said softly, "That person just now seems to be the damn Yuan Shangliu, the funny thing is that they met the assassin just after they finished it, but they don't know which room the assassin is in." ”

"Now is not the time to look for the assassin, kill the crossbowman first." Zhai Rang shook his head, and then raised the bow in his hand as well.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" After thinking about the sound of loosening the bowstring, several guards fell in response, but the pity was that they didn't know where the person who released the arrow was, and they didn't know how many people released the arrow.

After being killed four or five people in an instant, the remaining seven or eight people finally made a shrunken turtle, originally, the person who played the crossbow didn't know what the charge was, but it was too frightening to be hit as soon as he showed his head.

The guards were like frightened birds, and the scene froze for a while, and no one dared to show their heads again.

After about a stick of incense, Zhai Rang finally thought of a plan and whispered to Uncle Wang, "I'll set fire to them and force them out." ”

Wang Bodang nodded, his eyes stared at the empty door not far away, and Zhai Rang made a big circle before detouring to the backyard, first burning from the firewood room, and then carrying the firewood to a few main houses, and lighting a fire under the window

"Gone out of the water? Come on! When the seven or eight guards watched the flames spread, their first thought was to escape, but if they ran out, they would inevitably be killed by hidden arrows!

Whether to be burned or shot is a question.
