Chapter 65: Hiring a Thief to Kill the King

When Zhao Xiaoxi was in the limelight and took over the military and political power of Ting Mai. In the back hall of the county government, the eldest granddaughter of the Chen family, was also anxious. From time to time, let the cronies around him eavesdrop on every move in the county hall.

For these voyeurs, it is naturally impossible to escape Zhao Xiaoxi's gaze. It's just that he knows better that everything is prioritized. And he also believes that as long as these people have brains, they will know what attitude to adopt at the moment.

The crime of this Xu County Commander is really more of a crime of dereliction of duty. If you want to sentence him to a decisive decision, I am afraid that it will not work with the court law. It can be cut down for the people and never hired, but it can be beheaded, and the crime is a little insufficient.

It is clear that the most important thing at the moment is to control the situation in the county seat and wait for the arrival of the royal guards. As long as the soldiers and horses of the royal palace guards arrive, even if the Chen family wants to make trouble, I am afraid that they will not have the ability and courage.

According to Bu Yi Ge's investigation, that old lady Chen was a calculating person. For such a family patriarch, his biggest expectation is to continue the family's bloodline, so that the Chen family can continue to be a real earth overlord in Tingmai.

But if you put this ambition on the official face and fight against the government and the court. Then it is the way to die, and the imperial court mostly takes the form of beheading and deciding to deal with the chaos of the people, especially in such remote places.

It is precisely with this information in hand that Zhao Xiaoxi also appears to be orderly when he acts. But at this time, when she learned that her husband was sent to prison, the granddaughter of the Chen family, who had been doted on since she was a child and enjoyed the county lady very much, made an astonishing decision.

He found his cronies and said, "Ah Fu, you should quickly find a few henchmen now, and let them inform the old lady to hide, so as to prevent the court officers and soldiers from encircling and suppressing you." In addition, send someone to contact the big boss of Qingyun Village and let them enter the city to rob.

As long as they break the county jail. Rescue the master, and I will give them a thousand taels of silver after the deed is done. If they dare to kill the prince of the court, I will add another four thousand taels of silver. Remember, they must enter the city as soon as possible, remember? ”

looked at this Miss Sun, and actually said that she had murdered the prince of the imperial court. The housekeeper was startled and said, "Miss Sun." I'm afraid that this matter is absolutely inappropriate, if the court knows, it will be a big crime to punish the nine clans! ”

Regarding the housekeeper's words, Miss Sun, who likes to be in power since she was a child, immediately said: "What are you afraid of? The prince was not killed by us, and the nine clans who want to punish the nine clans are also the nine clans of the gang of robbers in Qingyunzhai.

Others don't know the origin of those robbers in Qingyun Village, how can they hide it from our Chen family. These robbers were not from the Great Song Dynasty at all, they were all officers and soldiers of the Chen Dynasty. Cornered at sea, he fled to our Tingmai and fell into the grass.

If they dare not agree. Tell them that when the time comes, Madame Ben will tell the prince of the court about them. When they see it, what will happen to them. and to give them money for their sake.

By the way, wait a minute, go to the tent first, and take five hundred taels of silver with you. The robbers are all money-grubbers, and they see this snowflake of silver. I don't believe that they are not moved. Hurry up, it's too late to close the city gate! ”

seemed to be taken aback by Miss Sun's words. If you think about it, it seems to be the same reason. In the end, the housekeeper could only hurriedly arrange for someone to go back to Chenjiazhuang to report the news, and personally went to Qingyunzhai to lead those robbers to attack the county seat at night.

In the face of this county magistrate, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't expect to do such a bold thing for the sake of power. But the palace guards. For a few people who rode out of the city after the county order, they saw it clearly.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who has already detained all the county officials, also knows that these people are afraid that they are going to report the news. But this is Qiongzhou Island, and there is Yue Laosan's naval patrol on the periphery. It's not easy to escape.

If they stay on the island, when the army arrives, they will not be able to escape the pursuit. For this reason, Zhao Xiaoxi signaled that he knew about the matter, explained to Zhao Da and others, and educated some soldiers from ordinary people to patrol the streets of the city.

As for Zhao Xiaoxi himself, he stayed in the county government to deal with what might happen at any time. And the county government back hall, after discovering this situation, was also ordered by him to prohibit the people in the back hall from entering and leaving freely.

It's just that at the same time, he also ordered that soldiers were not allowed to enter the back hall to harass Xu County's family. There were some things that he didn't want to see happen to women until they were thoroughly investigated.

Looking at the sudden tense situation in the city, the people living in the city also realized that this was the rhythm of the changing sky. As for the security notices posted, the people seem to be aware that the Chen family is afraid that they will be planted this time.

offended the current prince of the court, even if their family is powerful, they are afraid that they are powerless to resist. For this reason, they are naturally very obedient to the government's notices, and close the door to rest after cooking early.

As night fell, on the official road leading to Tingmai, there was a cavalry galloping. Although there were only 100 people, everywhere this army went, people were afraid to avoid the wind, and they did not dare to make any obstacles and wait and see.

Only when I saw this cavalry, after leaving my sight, I looked at the flying dust. Thinking of the banners raised by the cavalry before, many people think, where did such elite cavalry come from?

This time, there were 300 cavalry and 200 infantry who arrived on Qiongzhou Island with the ship. This is Zhao Xiaoxi's most elite lineage guard. If Zhao Xiaoxi is in need, this team of 500 people can sweep through the entire Qiongzhou government and army.

Most of these guards formed by Wu Wei have experienced the battle of life and death, and they have evil spirits. It can make some officers and soldiers who have never seen blood run away, and as for confrontation, it is almost impossible.

In recent years, the official army formed in various counties in Qiongzhou may have no problem bullying the common people. But it is almost impossible to deal with such an elite division. As long as there is a battle, there is only a certain loss.

When the royal guards rushed to Tingmai urgently, Qingyun Mountain, which was a little far away from the county seat, also came to a few people in a hurry. When the patrolling bandits saw that they dared to appear in front of the mountain gate so openly, they were also acquaintances.

Sure enough, when someone reported that he was the housekeeper of the county order, these thieves did not dare to slack off. After all, they are the dragons who cross the river, but the Chen family is the head snake. What's more, this housekeeper is also the housekeeper of the county order.

When the butler of the Earth Emperor's family arrived, they robbers naturally had to be polite. It's just that when a few family members in Qingyunzhai heard the intention of this housekeeper, they were really taken aback.

The big boss of Qingyunzhai, who was born in the official army of the Chen Dynasty, is also a person surnamed Chen. It was this surname that made him get the acquiescence of the Chen family. In order to be safe and sound, stay in this Tingmai County and rob the villagers.

They don't have to pay bribes like the government, but they have to give gifts to the Chen family. The reason is very simple, the Chen family is the well-deserved overlord of Tingmai, and the county commander is also a puppet of the Chen family, and it is not worth their efforts to make friends.

But for the assassination of a Great Song Dynasty prince, these robbers from the Chen Dynasty officers and soldiers, they are also somewhat jealous. Seeing that things were about to come to an end, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion immediately said: "Big boss, we understand not to say secret words."

If the prince of the court reigns for a day, you will have to worry for a day. If he learns your origins, he will send a large army to attack you, and then you will have no place to stay. Killing him is actually beneficial to both you and me.

In addition, my wife, knowing that all the heroes are fortunate, specially asked the villain to prepare five hundred taels of silver as a deposit. After the deed is completed, even if you can't kill the prince, rescue my master, and offer another five hundred taels of silver.

If you can kill them, this generous gift will naturally be even more generous. With 5,000 taels of silver, where can all the heroes in the world go? What's more, tonight was the best time to kill him, because there were only a dozen or so guards around him.

As long as you heroes are willing to send troops, you can raid the city and loot it, I believe that this income, you heroes are also dreaming of it! As far as I know, there are still tens of thousands of taels of silver in the treasury of the county government! ”

Under such a temptation, these robbers, who regarded wealth as their life, immediately said with fire in their eyes: "Big brother, do it!" With so much silver, even if we return to the Chen Dynasty, we can live a free life, so why stay here and suffer?

Moreover, last year, the imperial court fought with the Great Song Dynasty, and it is said that it also suffered a little loss. If we can kill the king of Qiongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, after returning to China, we will definitely be crowned an official and promoted to the knighthood, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

The big boss, who was a little moved in his own right, heard the agitation of his subordinates. I feel that he has nothing to fish in this Qiongzhou. Immediately ordered his subordinates to collect the five hundred taels of silver, and reorganized the soldiers and horses to prepare to go down the mountain to attack the city.

Seeing that these robbers finally agreed to attack the city, the butler breathed a sigh of relief and was also faintly worried. After all, if this kind of thing is found out, it is a big crime of the Nine Clans, and it is impossible to say that you are not afraid!

Now that he has come to this point, all he can hope for is that these robbers can kill the king of Qiongzhou. In this way, even if the court is angry and wants to ask the teacher for the crime, he can only go to the Chen Dynasty and find these robbers to ask the teacher for the crime, and the Chen family can also escape.

As long as things are thought on the bright side, this fear will dissipate a lot. When he saw that Qingyunzhai was pouring out of the nest, and there were more than 500 people and horses, he also felt that tonight's siege should be a great success.

He naturally knew the strength of the defenders in the county town. At present, all the officials of the county government have been investigated and dealt with, and the officers and soldiers are leaderless, which is really a good opportunity.

As long as they attack the county seat, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with their Chen family. If they could kill that prince, the Chen family would naturally not abscond. If they can't be killed, the Chen family can also escape from Qiongzhou as soon as possible and move to another place to survive.

As a big clan of Tingmai, the Chen family also has a small fleet. Although it is not too big, it should be no problem to transfer the family members to other countries to survive. That old lady, but she is a cautious man! (To be continued......)
