Chapter Ninety-Four: Fake Death
Wang Cheng was holding a knife in his hand, and it was bright. Wang Bo is the eldest brother of the five siblings, but he is the only one who has no combat effectiveness, and because of this, he is the only one who is now living openly under the prosperous age of Jin Shizong. Although Wang Bo doesn't know kung fu, he has been a soldier and knows how to fight in the army. Wang Bo and Wang Cheng looked at each other, neither of them knew kung fu, but they had to fight to the death, Wang Cheng's chances of winning were very high, because Wang Cheng had a sharp knife in his hand, and the knife could kill.
There was silence outside the post house, a group of people stood outside, but they didn't make any sound, these people were wearing silver and black clothes, which were a little different from the military uniforms of Dajin Kingdom, but they couldn't help but pay attention to it, this was the exclusive costume of the Privy Council, Wan Yan Yunzhong stood in it, he was thin, but he tried to keep his shoulders and back straight, and his face was cold. This posture lasted for a long time, and finally the eyes that looked at the guild hall brightened in an instant, and his straight shoulders and back relaxed silently.
Wang Cheng walked out of the house, holding a bloodstained knife in his hand, and said to Wan Yan Yunzhong, sorry for keeping you waiting. The door of the hall opened silently, and Wan Yan Yunzhong walked in slowly, he still wanted to confirm whether Wang Bo was dead.
Wang Bo was lying on the ground, with a cloth sheet on his body, bright red blood, seeping out of the rough cracks of the cloth sheet, Wan Yan Yunzhong was a little regretful, and even had the feeling of a rabbit dead and a dog cooking, once in the eyes of Jin Shizong, Wang Bo was such an important figure, but unfortunately, time has passed, and now Wang Bo has become a discardable chess piece. This killing had nothing to do with Jin Shizong, but without Jin Shizong's acquiescence, how could Wanyan Yunzhong dare to cooperate with the prince so boldly.
Wang Bo knelt beside an old slave, the old slave was old, his face was full of frost, he had been crying silently, until Wan Yan Yunzhong came in and stayed for a while, then he staggered to his feet, and walked towards Wan Yan Yunzhong with an expressionless face.
Wan Yan Yunzhong was accompanied by those warriors dressed in silver and black, who clenched their knives and looked at the old slave vigilantly. The old slave suddenly laughed madly, rushed towards Wanyan Yunzhong, and shouted for Wanyan Yunzhong to accompany the old man Wang Bo to the funeral.
The soldier's steel knife was ruthlessly inserted into the old slave's body, and the old slave spit out two mouthfuls of blood, did not fall, and fought with the last trace of strength, and took another step against the young soldier. This old slave still has a lot to say, and it could be filthy words. However, the old slave used the last of his strength in his hands, and he had flint in his hands. From beginning to end, the old slave wanted to be closer to Wan Yan Yunzhong, and only when he was close could he hurt Wan Yan Yunzhong.
With a snort, the old slave's body burned, and those warriors hurriedly threw away their knives, and shouted gunpowder with a pale face, yes, it was gunpowder, the old slave carried a large amount of gunpowder with him, he set himself on fire, and rushed towards Wan Yan Yunzhong with the last madness.
Wan Yan Yunzhong was surrounded by his subordinates and retreated, and soon withdrew from the hall, the old slave roared miserably, like anger, more like pain, he finally fell to the ground and fell to the door of the hall, and the whole hall burned because of him, a burning man.
……
The light of the fire illuminated half of Kyoto, and the old ministers of Kyoto were horrified when they saw the direction of the fire. A few old ministers sat in a sedan chair and went to the house of Lord Hubu. Zhang Xuansu, the lord of the household, has followed two generations of emperors, the first generation is of course the king of Hailing, and later Jin Shizong called the emperor, Zhang Xuansu has always been good friends with Wang Bo, Ma Yutang and others, recommended by Wang Bo, and became an official under Jin Shizong, Zhang Xuansu is talented, won the trust of Jin Shizong, and now he is the head of the household. The household department manages the money, which is the first of the six departments.
Several old ministers did not see Zhang Xuansu, Zhang Xuansu was sick at this time, and this illness can come strangely. Wang Bo's hall was on fire, Zhang Xuansu was sick, and as soon as several ministers pondered, their hearts were half cold, so they went back to the mansion, thinking overnight about how to retreat from their existing positions, so as not to die like Wang Bo.
The old ministers never dreamed that Zhang Xuansu was not in the house, there was an alley behind Zhang's mansion, this alley was neither private land nor an official road, after Zhang Xuansu became the head of the household, he attracted a stream of living water from elsewhere, and moved some of the bamboo trees, mountains and stones and pavilion railings and other items that the old mansion had renovated.
Jin Shizong came to see it on purpose, because this street is open to the people, and the people are water, so it is called Huishui Street. Later, some stalls were added to Huishui Street, and it became even more prosperous. This Huishui Street, the whole of Kyoto knows, but what Kyoto doesn't know is that there is a tunnel under this Huishui Street, which is connected to the underground city of Houtokulou. The merchants in Huishui Street seem to come from all over the world, but in fact, they are not like that, the merchants in Huishui Street all belong to one person, this person is called Qiao Si, a terminally ill person, a person who is richer than the emperor.
Zhang Xuansu is Wang Bo's old friend, Ma Yutang's bosom friend, and this Qiao Si's brother. Zhang Xuansu came out of the back door of the mansion, and seemed to be wandering around Huishui Street to eat, and he disappeared as he walked through the crowd. He came underground and found Qiao Si.
Qiao Si's face became more and more pale, his cough was even more severe, and there was a person lying at his feet, Mr. Stinky was helping to stop the bleeding, turning water and swallowing some internal medicine. Seeing this, Zhang Xuansu let out a sigh, of course this injured person is Wang Bo.
Throughout Kyoto, there are many underground passages like the one under the Huishui Street, which are connected to the dungeon of the Houtokuro, and like blood vessels, they transport all kinds of information to the heart of this dungeon. They don't just carry information, they save lives.
Zhang Xuansu asked Qiao Si, how is Wang Bo injured? Qiao Si said that the injury was quite deep, but it was not critical, but Wang Bo swallowed the Turtle Breath Pill, which is a rare medicine, after taking it, the heart beat rate was extremely low, and the whole person was in a coma, stopped breathing, and looked like he was dead. Qiao Si also said that the person who designed this bureau was delicate, and the whole layout was just right, which deceived Wan Yan Yunzhong.
Zhang Xuansu asked Wang Bo why he set up a fake death game, this game is quite delicate, Zhang Xuansu couldn't imagine anyone other than Wang Bo who would think so thoughtfully in such a sudden situation. When Qiao Si heard this question, he didn't answer directly, so he said with a smile, blue is better than blue. Zhang Xuansu is not a stupid person, from this off-string sound, he immediately heard the identity of this person, Wang Bo's descendant. Wang Bo has two sons, one is a martial artist and the other is a wine bag and rice bag, Zhang Xuansu really can't think of anyone who can be better than the blue.
There was no time for Zhang Xuansu to think about it, because Qiao Si said that this time it was related to him, and this he was Emperor Jin Shizong.
