readx; Yan Kai persuaded again and again, and finally made the weak Li only agree to his plan, and Li only sighed, "Okay! I agree with Sir's plan, but can the guards in the palace take on the responsibility of assassination? ”

"If we don't do it, none of the palace guards can participate, so even if there is suspicion, we can't catch the evidence of His Highness, and the lowly wants to buy the killer to do this, so let the lowly plan and implement it, and don't bother His Highness. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As long as he can get rid of himself, it is Li Wei's bottom line, since Yan Kai wants to find an assassin killer to do it, Li only can't ask for it, he took off half a jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Yan Kai and said: "I have 10,000 yuan of savings in Wang Baoji Cabinet Workshop, and I will withdraw money with this half of jade, Mr. Go and do it!" Don't negotiate with me anymore. ”

"Thank you for your support, in the next day or two, there will definitely be good news."

．．．．．．．．

Soon, a carriage left the back door of Pengwang's mansion, in the dark night to Chengdu North City galloped, at this time Chengdu has lifted martial law, and Chang'an, since last year Chengdu is also not closed at night, at night, the doors of each neighborhood are open, but deserted, almost not a pedestrian can be seen, the search of the aftermath is still there, every household is closed doors, the lights are dimmed, so that the entire city is almost immersed in boundless darkness.

Yan Kai was very cautious, he found a carriage shop halfway through and rented a carriage, and made sure that no one was following him, so he came to Beishi.

Unlike other places, Beishi is slightly more popular, this search Beishi suffered heavy losses, people were not arrested much, mainly the loss of money, especially the jewelry and jade shop, has been searched three times, almost every household has lost more than 1,000 guan, among which there is a Sun Ji jewelry store, a group of jewelry hidden in the attic was found by the search soldiers, the shopkeeper and his men were all driven into a room, and when they came out, this batch of jewelry worth 8,000 guan has disappeared, and the loss is extremely heavy.

After the catastrophe, every household is taking stock of the loss, and preparing to open the next day, relatively speaking, the loss of the horse market is the smallest, their goods are inconvenient to carry, are mainly to break the wealth and avoid disasters, the loss of each family is about 100 times, there is a pig shop shopkeeper because of the search for a horizontal knife was found, and finally out of 500 yuan to avoid being arrested.

At this time, all the shops in the horse market were busy counting the goods, only the door of the Maxima store was closed, and the lights were all out, as if there was no one in the store.

In the backyard of the horse shop, there is a room with lights on, only Shi Jingzhong and Yan Kai in the house, this is their second meeting, Shi Jingzhong got an order from Chang'an is to fully cooperate with Yan Kai, he also knows very well that Yan Kai is the most critical chess piece placed by Li Qing'an in the Southern Tang Dynasty, especially when the two princes compete for succession, the important role of this chess piece is highlighted.

Yan Kai put half a piece of jade on the table and pushed it to Shi Jingzhong, "With it, you can take 10,000 yuan from Wang Baoji's cabinet, you can take 3,000 yuan, and return the jade pendant to me after you run out." ”

Yan Kai wanted to give Li only an explanation, Shi Jingzhong knew, but he was not interested in money, he asked in a deep voice, "Who do you need us to kill?" ”

"Linghu Fei!"

Yan Kai said the name, "Within two days, he must die, and once he dies, the internal struggle for succession in the Southern Tang Dynasty will inevitably intensify, which is also the order of the great general." ”

He saw that Shi Jingzhong was a little silent, and he also knew that this was the first time that the Intelligence Hall had hunted down a high-ranking official of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the risk was very high, so he said: "If there is a temporary difficulty, it will be within three days." ”

"Nope! There is no difficulty. ”

Shi Jingzhong said without hesitation: "Tomorrow night at the latest, I will definitely let Mr.'s plan come true." ”

Yan Kai stared at Shi Jingzhong, seeing that his eyes were very sure that he would be able to kill Ling Hufei tomorrow night, he didn't know whether he should trust this person or laugh at him for being too confident, Yan Kai sighed secretly, he didn't want to say anything more, so he nodded, "I'll go back first." ”

Yan Kai left Beishi and returned directly to Peng Wangfu, as soon as he left, Shi Jingzhong ordered people to fish out weapons from the river, dozens of crossbows and horizontal knives were packed in closed clay pots, tightly wrapped in oiled paper, no water, Shi Jingzhong gently stroked a large crossbow, this crossbow followed him for nearly twenty years, the wooden handle has been polished smooth and shiny, holding this, he seems to feel that this crossbow and his person have been integrated.

Tomorrow is Hugh Chao, the best opportunity, he will go out in person.

．．．．．．．

Linghu Fei's mansion is not far from the east city gate, located in the Huanshafang, is a large mansion covering an area of about 30 acres, originally called Gui House, because there are ten 300-year-old laurel trees planted in the house and famous, it is a famous mansion in Chengdu City, because Li Heng first arrived in Chengdu when he trusted Ling Hufei very much, he gave him this beautiful house, which has attracted the envy of countless people.

Linghu Feiguan worships the household department Shangshu, holds the financial power of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is high and powerful, and there is an endless stream of ministers who come to praise the knot, especially the Xiu Dynasty, almost from morning to night, the officials who come to visit and give gifts have not stopped, especially the local officials, who attach more importance to Linghu Fei's financial power.

Ling Hufei himself is not an honest and self-disciplined official, on the contrary, he is extremely greedy, when he was young, he was poor, it is because of the unforgettable poverty, so he attaches great importance to money, he came to give gifts to the officials he warmly received, just over a year, only from the official gifts he has accumulated tens of thousands of money.

It just so happens that today is also Hugh, these days there have been a lot of changes in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is rumored that Li Qing'an's army is about to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, which makes all the officials tense their nerves, and they all try their best to inquire about the inside information, last night happened to happen Ling Hu Fei into the palace to advise the incident, and the saint seems to have listened to Ling Hu Fei's advice, which makes Ling Hu Fei suddenly become the focus of attention of hundreds of officials, everyone wants to get the attitude of the saint from Ling Hu Fei, what countermeasures the saint will have, this is related to everyone's vital interests, if you can get inside information, you can deal with it in advance.

From dawn, there were carriages parked in front of Ling Hufei's mansion, and many officials came to visit with gifts, everyone knew that Ling Hufei would not receive him if he came empty-handed.

Ling Hufei seems to be very idle today, he knows that the words are fine but not too much, he has already told the saint everything that should be said, today should be the time for the saint to consider it himself, he knows that tomorrow at the latest, the saint will definitely talk to him again, he is very proud, he was Li Heng's military advisor in the past, and he will be in the future, Li Heng can't do without him.

It is precisely because of this self-confidence that Ling Hu Fei dares to accept bribes unscrupulously, and since the morning he has not refused to come, and he will talk to every official who comes to see him, and point out the maze for these seekers, he is like the high priest of a certain religion, accepting the worship of believers.

On the second floor of a wine shop about two miles away from Linghufei's Mansion in Huanshafang, Shi Jingzhong was sitting in front of the window, and from this position he could clearly see the door of Linghufei's mansion, he had been sitting here for a morning, but he was still not anxious, they were waiting for an opportunity.

There are many tasks in the intelligence hall, to explore the military situation, the people's situation, to spy on important intelligence in the Southern Tang Dynasty, etc., one of the tasks is to monitor the movements of senior officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty, including finding out their property situation, looking for their handles, etc., Ling Hufei is the head of the household department of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the head of finance, and is naturally in the key focus list of the intelligence hall.

The Intelligence Hall has always been concerned about what Ling Hufei did, and the reason why Shi Jingzhong dared to agree to Yan Kai to get rid of this person next time was that he knew that there would be an opportunity to appear today.

Tomorrow will be the final determination of the salt merchants of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the salt of the Southern Tang Dynasty mainly comes from nearly 1,000 official salt wells in Rongzhou, and the Southern Tang Dynasty adopts the salt method, that is, today's salt monopoly system, the government monopolizes all the salt wells, and directly sells them to several large salt merchants at 110 wen per bucket, and then they operate and distribute, so the windfall profits are first taken away by the government, followed by several major salt merchants, because, in order to get this salt merchant quota, all the big merchants have used all means.

And one of the most effective means is to bribe Ling Hufei, Ling Hufei concurrently serves as the salt and iron envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and has the right to make direct decisions, tomorrow is the salt merchant finally decided, today there should be a big salt merchant from Shuzhou to visit Ling Hufei.

Last night, Shi Jingzhong sorted out the information for the night, he has discovered the law, everything is more than 2,000 yuan, Ling Hufei's attitude is very enthusiastic, and he will usually personally send the guests out of the house, and if this big businessman from Shuzhou wants to get the quota of salt merchants, he will not give less than 10,000 yuan.

Time passed little by little, it was almost evening, perhaps because Ling Hufei no longer received visitors, the carriage in front of his mansion was gradually scarce, only one or two officials refused to leave, carrying gifts in their hands, waiting for the last chance.

Shi Jingzhong was still waiting patiently in the wine shop, he drank slowly, his eyes never left the door of Ling Hufei's mansion, and his carriage was parked downstairs in the wine shop, and he had been waiting for a long time, at this time, one of his subordinates walked into the room quickly, and whispered in his ear: "There is news from the city gate, the big merchants of Shuzhou have entered the city." ”

Shi Jingzhong's spirits perked up, and he asked again: "Is the house ready?" ”

"Ready, the brother who answered is already waiting outside the wall."

Shi Jingzhong drank all the wine in the cup, and suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the street outside the window, and he saw more than a dozen horseback guards escorting a gorgeous carriage into the door, this is the big businessman from Shuzhou.

Shi Jingzhong stood up and walked briskly downstairs, the opportunity was coming, he got into the carriage downstairs, and ordered: "The carriage goes up and stops a hundred steps away." ”

The carriage started slowly, headed towards Linghu's house, and stopped at a wall a hundred steps away from the mansion gate, Shi Jingzhong took out his hard crossbow from the base of the carriage, pulled the string on the crossbow, and shot an arrow in the air, 'Bang! There was a loud sound, and the force was very strong.

Shi Jingzhong took out a poisonous arrow from the quiver box, the arrow flashed phosphorescent in blue, this kind of poisonous arrow is very domineering, it can be called a bloody throat, and it is immediately fatal.

Shi Jingzhong was born as a crossbowman, whether it was under Wang Zhongsi or Ge Shuhan, he was a very famous crossbowman in the Longyou Army, and his archery skills were superb.

He carefully put the poisoned arrow into the arrow slot, and his eyes turned to the door again, waiting for the last chance.

Ling Hufei really came out, he warmly greeted out of the mansion, and welcomed the big businessmen from Shuzhong into the mansion, the two officials waiting outside were not interested, and wanted to get up and tie up, but they were mercilessly bombed away by Ling Hufei, and he didn't have long eyes, and the God of Wealth dared to come and join in the fun?

Although it is also an opportunity for Linghu Fei to go out of the mansion, Shi Jingzhong is not waiting for this opportunity, there is a beginning and an end, with Linghu Fei's love for money, with the generosity of this big businessman in Shuzhong, he will definitely send this big businessman out of the house respectfully.

The door of Ling Hu Fei's mansion slammed shut, and the front of the gate became deserted, with only the carriage of a big merchant and a dozen guards.

It was already dark, and about half an hour later, the main door of Linghu Fei's mansion opened, it was the main gate that opened, and today day, all the small doors next to it were opened, Shi Jingzhong's eyes narrowed into a line, and his hand gradually clenched the bow and crossbow.......

Ling Hu Fei was in a very happy mood, this big businessman in Shuzhong was overjoyed by his generous shots, fifteen thousand! He just wanted the other party to give a maximum of 10,000 guan, then he would be satisfied, but he didn't expect the other party to give 15,000 guan, and his heart was about to explode with joy.

For the sake of 15,000 yuan, he even opened the main gate to send this big businessman out of the mansion.

"Linghu Shangshu, then I will leave my affairs to Shangshu."

"Huh! Don't worry, since I have already agreed, I will do it to the letter, don't make you wait to get rich! ”

Linghu Fei sent the merchant down the steps, the big merchant's carriage came up, the merchant got into the carriage, drove the window and said with a smile: "Linghu Shangshu, please go back!" Then I'll go first. ”

Ling Hufei arched his hand and smiled: "Don't make you, please take care all the way." ”

At this time, a carriage on the opposite side drove over unhurriedly, Ling Hu Fei glanced at it, the carriage was very ordinary, no different from the carriages seen everywhere on the street, he didn't take it to heart, turned around and walked towards the house, at this moment, someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Ling Hu Shangshu, the holy decree has arrived!" ”

Ling Hu Fei was startled and hurriedly turned back, but the moment he turned around, 'Click! A crossbow machine rang out, and a poisoned arrow shot at him like lightning, and he was stunned only to see a little blue light flash in the night.

'Poof! ’

The powerful crossbow arrow shot into Ling Hufei's eyebrows, only half of the crossbow arrow was left outside, his gaze was dull, and then he began to scatter, his face turned black, and he fell to the ground straight upright, and several family members in front of the mansion were stunned, and no one reacted for a long time.

Shi Jingzhong's carriage accelerated, it did not run to the gate of the mansion, but made a bend and ran towards the depths of the Huanshafang, at this time only heard a shout from the side of Linghu Fei's mansion, "Someone!" Shangshu was stabbed, come on! ”

The door of a house near the wall opened, the carriage drove directly into the courtyard, Shi Jingzhong jumped off the carriage and strode towards the backyard, the backyard is the wall, a ladder has been installed by the wall, Shi Jingzhong climbed the ladder, turned over the wall, outside the wall, a carriage has been waiting for a long time, Shi Jingzhong got into the carriage, the carriage started quickly, and drove towards the east gate not far away.

At this time, there has been a commotion in the Huansha Fang, but the news has not yet come here, the city gate is still open, after yesterday's day of searching, the guards of the city gate have been lax a lot, pedestrians come and go freely, basically without checking.

The carriage drove out of the East City without incident, and soon disappeared into the deep night fog.......

The assassination of Hufei shocked the government and the opposition, and the situation in Chengdu City that had just been relaxed became tense again, especially the dispute between the crown prince Li and Peng Wang Li Wei, which was also torn apart because of Ling Hufei's death.
