Chapter 259: Kong Changshi is assassinated
Wu Qing walked out of the study, let the cold wind blow on his face, and there was a solemnity on his face like a knife.
The Secret Decree of the Queen of Heaven has only one sentence, or rather, only a few words, "Lion skull, leather whip, awl, axe." β
What does this mean? Lion skull is a kind of BMW that travels thousands of miles a day, legend is produced in the hometown of Dawan, the mane is thick and dragged to the ground, the body is tall, the whole body is snow-white, Emperor Taizong once had a lion skull, and is proud, but it is rumored that this horse is fierce, difficult to control, is to never surrender, after the death of Emperor Taizong, there is no trace.
The leather whip can be used as a torture instrument, used for whipping, and can make a person's skin open flesh. What about the awl? It can pierce a person's skin, eyes, ears, and other parts so that they cannot see or hear sounds. Hatchet? It can only be a chopped head, a split bone, and a complete death.
Thinking of this, Wu Qing trembled, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead and the bridge of his nose.
"Ah Lang, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Yushu holding a tray, there was a teapot in the tray, obviously a pot of hot tea, and she looked at Wu Qing with a surprised face.
Wu Qing walked in front of him, and without saying a word, he stopped his waist and picked up Yushu, the tray fell to the ground, and with a bang, the teapot shattered, and the tea splashed.
"Alang?" Yushu understood in an instant.
Wu Qing carried Yushu into the study, savagely lifted Yushu's long skirt, and pressed Yushu on the table.
After a while, there was a heavy impact sound in the study like a ramming!
When a person is in fear, then he needs a way to vent this uneasy feeling. Some people choose to fight until their heads break and blood flow and they are dying, and some people choose to yell until they are hoarse and exhausted, and they only have air out and no air intake. Some people choose to run until they are tired and lie motionless.
In short, there are many ways to vent fear, but it is not impossible to vent fear like Wu Qing, but there are few people who can have that ability in the midst of anxiety. Of course, Wu Qing didn't think about finding a woman at that time. Coincidentally, Yushu appeared at the right time, and the result can be imagined.
The rhythmic sound in the study continued, and the soldiers guarding the courtyard covered their ears with red faces, and turned away the officials who had come to do business.
When the emperor dies and the whole country mourns, it is natural that there should be no joyful things, including the happy things between men and women. So the soldiers stopped the officials. so as not to hear. Because on the day Lord Thorn Shi arrived, he gave each of them two yuan of wine money, which was their income for almost a year! How did they not love Lord Thorn? Even if Lord Assassin made some extraordinary moves. It is also forgivable.
The sound of ramming in the study continued until nightfall.
When Wu Qing came out of the study, he felt a little vague. A maid was already waiting outside the door, shivering with cold, her face was pale, and she quickly bowed when she saw Wu Qing coming out. Almost fell to the ground.
Wu Qing held on. said, "Go in and wait for the lady to change her clothes." β
At this time, the officials at all levels of the Assassin's Mansion had already returned to their respective homes after work, and only the chief Shi Kongxiang was waiting for Wu Qing in the signing room after having a meal in the Assassin's Mansion. He looked through today's trial file, and he didn't expect that these officials would be so corrupt, which was really appalling. I also sincerely admired Wu Qing's generosity.
Perhaps only an official like Wu Qing is the pillar of the imperial court, not afraid of the powerful, able to enforce the law impartially, and not afraid of the local tyrants. Guarding the side for the Holy Shepherd. What a blessing to the people!
Kong Xiang was sighing, and Wu Qing walked into the signing room.
Seeing that Kong Xiang was still there. couldn't help laughing: "Why hasn't Changshi gone home yet?" β
Kong Xiang arched his hand and said: "The assassin is a model for the lower officials, and the lower officials are waiting for the long history, just to personally hand over this file to the assassin history, in order to show the admiration of the lower officials for the assassin history." β
The corners of Wu Qing's mouth twitched, this person, hey, this assassin's history is "a thousand opportunities", so he smiled and said: "Well, Kong Changshi has worked hard, so let's dine with me." β
Kong Xiang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, Madame has already sent someone to deliver the food, and the lower official has already eaten it, and the lower official handed over this file to the assassin history, and it is time to go back." β
Wu Qing couldn't help but look at Jiang Chuchen with admiration in his heart, this girl was a virtuous helper, so he said: "Since this is the case, the history of assassination will not be kept." Ben Thorn Shi sent troops to escort Changshi. β
Kong Xiang thought about it, and bowed down to thank him. Immediately, two soldiers escorted Kong Xiang away.
Wu Qing knew that Kong Xiang's trial of those corrupt officials today would inevitably offend the local heroes, so there were state soldiers to escort him, just in case. But apparently he really underestimated those powerful and ferocious Cheng dΓΉ.
Early in the morning of the second day, the people told the government that Wu Qing was holding Jiang Chuchen and dreaming, but was woken up by the maidservant, and when he woke up, he knew that it was Sima Xu Hou who asked to see him.
So after washing, he went to the study, and seeing Xu Houcai's anxious face, Wu Qing asked: "What happened to Xu Sima, he was so flustered?" β
Xu Houcai hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "Martial Assassin History, Kong Changshi was killed last night!" β
"What?" Wu Qing's body stiffened, and then there was a murderous look in his eyes, and he said, "Where did you die?" β
"It's just outside the Confucian Mansion, only three hundred steps away from the Confucian Mansion." Xu Houcai said.
Wu Qing sighed and said, "Kong Changshi's death is also my fault. Check it out! β
So they came to the west of the city with their soldiers. With Xu Houcai's guidance, he came to the place where Kong Changshi was killed, at this time there were soldiers to protect the scene, Wu Qing took a closer look, the three corpses were not far away, covered with white cloth, Wu Qing opened it, the two soldiers were shot through the throat by crossbow arrows, and the wound was black, obviously the arrow was poisonous.
Wu Qing sighed, and after uncovering the white cloth on Kong Xiang's body, he saw that Kong Xiang had deep strangulation marks on his neck, strangulation marks and bruises, obviously strangled to death. Kong Xiang's eyes widened, obviously not blinding, Wu Qing sighed and said: "Kong Changshi, you rest in peace, I will find out the murderer and give you justice." Then he stretched out his hand and wiped it, and Kong Xiang closed his eyes.
Wu Qing stood up and asked sharply, "Are you here?" β
"The villain is here, the villain is coming!" I saw an old man with a young man trembling and coming to the field, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "The villain Tian Chong and the grandson Tian Fu have seen adults!" β
Wu Qing said: "No courtesy, do your best to perform an autopsy, be careful and careful, and don't miss the slightest clue!" β
"The villain understands, the villain must do his best!"
"Alright, let's go." Wu Qingyi waved his hand and said to Sima Xu Houcai: "You go and inform the Confucian family, let them collect the body in an hour." β
"Xia Guan understands!" Immediately, Xu Houcai went to the Confucian Mansion.
At this time, Ma Gong, the acting county commander and the army, came, and when he saw that Wu Qing was also there, he hurriedly saluted.
Wu Qing said: "This matter cannot be done for the time being, after the autopsy, bring the work, and then come to the assassin's mansion, this assassin history has an explanation." β
"Xia Guan understands!"
Wu Qing sighed, and then walked onto the street with his entourage, he looked at the tall gatehouses on both sides of the street, and showed a sneer, since this is the case, then let me see how powerful you are! (To be continued......)
