Chapter 455: I Had to Die (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The two little eunuchs slowly untied Li Shi's body from the rope and placed it on the ground.
Wu Boyan leaned up to take a closer look, and saw that Li Shi's face was cleanly washed, his gray hair was meticulously combed, and he was wearing a unicorn suit given by the emperor, his face was peaceful, and he died very calmly.
After a few glances, Wu Boyan frowned and stared viciously at Wang Tiqian next to him.
The old eunuch Wang was as if he was being targeted by a vicious wolf, and his legs trembled.
"Wu, Mr. Wu, let's be friends, you have something to say."
"Phew, who's friends with you? Let me ask you, is Li Shi the old eunuch who was scared crazy when Suzhou made a fuss? ”
"That's right!" Wang Tiqian nodded hurriedly, "That's true, he fled to Nanjing first. ”
"Then why did you run to Songjiang again?"
"This ......"
"Say!" Wu Boyan suddenly pulled out half of his waist knife, and the cold light was shining.
"I say, I say it all!" Wang Tiqian understood one word: disaster fell from the sky!
"Mr. Wu, when our family passed through Nanjing, I heard that Li Shi didn't sleep all night, and he wore single clothes and walked back and forth outside in the cold. The little eunuch also neglected him, gave him some leftovers, and starved him for three days. They all came out of the palace, and when they looked down and didn't look up, our family moved with compassion and took him with them. Originally, I thought that the spring flowers would bloom, so I sent him back to Beijing and handed him over to Father-in-law Wei. But it's the opening of the market, and it's recruiting talents, and we're so busy that we forget about it! ”
"Phew!"
Wu Boyan smacked Wang Tiqian's face fiercely, pointed at Li Shi's corpse and scolded.
"Old gelding, open your dog's eyes and see, does a madman know to hang himself? Can a madman groom himself and get dressed? Can a madman know to leave a suicide note? ”
Three questions in a row frightened Wang Tiqian into regression step by step, and he had the heart to argue, but he couldn't think of a reason for a while.
"Mr. Wu, you have to believe our family. Our family has received the dry shares of Grandpa Guo, we, we are grasshoppers on a rope! ”
"Hmph, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, in my opinion, it is very clear that it is written, 'The old slave is foolish and loyal, and kills for the Lord', who is this master?"
"Mr. Wu, you won't suspect that it's our family, right?"
"Pee and take a picture, what kind of master are you? In my opinion. It's the dog emperor who wants to harm our grandfather! ”
"Be careful!"
Wang Tiqian almost fell down in fright, and said in his heart that he was worthy of being a person under Zhang Ke, and he dared to say anything.
"Wu Zongzhen, Pingliao Gong has made outstanding achievements, his fame is spread all over the world, the emperor is wise and wise, how can he destroy the Great Wall and harm the grandfather of the country! According to our family, maybe someone is to blame. ”
Let Wang Tiqian explain it. Wu Boyan just snorted lightly, not believing it at all.
At this time, a searching soldier ran over, holding a seal in his hand, and came to Wu Boyan.
"Your Excellency. This was found in Li Shi's room. ”
Wu Boyan glanced at it and threw it to Wang Tiqian angrily.
"Let's take a look, is it the seal of the city's ship?"
Wang Tiqian looked at it with trepidation, and it was not bad at all. He suddenly shouted in horror: "This, this is our family's seal, how could it fall into Li Shi's hands." What the hell is going on? ”
Wu Boyan sneered and took out an invitation from his arms and held it in his hand.
"Look at it, this is an invitation to Grandpa Guo! This is the seal on it. The matter couldn't be more obvious, that is, you caused Li Shi to send an invitation to Grandpa Guo and tricked Grandpa Guo out so that he could assassinate him! Wu Boyan kicked Li Shi's corpse and sneered: "Maybe, Li Shi doesn't know anything at all, it's all you who are suspicious!" ”
"Wronged, our family died unjustly! Give our family 10,000 guts, and our family will not dare to assassinate Grandpa Guo! Wang Tiqian was about to cry, and when he saw Li Shi's corpse, he couldn't get angry.
"Our family treats you well, how dare you frame our family! How can this be explained! ”
Wu Boyan showed no mercy at all, and said: "In the past, he was a madman, but now he is a dead man, he can't say anything, whatever you want." But Prince, remember, whoever dares to fight the idea of the grandfather of the country should not want to escape the revenge of the brothers! Come on, take the old gelding away, and torture me! ”
Without saying a word, the soldiers rushed up, grabbed their shoulders, and dragged Wang Tiqian outside.
Wang Tiqian was still in a dream at this time, and suddenly a bad thought flashed in his mind.
It stands to reason that he is a person in the palace and represents the emperor, even if Zhang Ke is assassinated, he will not directly trouble him. There is only one explanation, that is, Zhang Ke was injured and even died, and he couldn't restrain his subordinates, so they went crazy!
Thinking of this, Wang Tiqian almost fainted.
After dealing with Zhang Ke for several months, Wang Tiqian can also see a little bit of Zhang Ke's details.
This Pingliao Duke not only holds nearly 100,000 tigers and wolves, but also has a lot of money and a fleet at sea. Crucially, he has a large number of die-hard followers.
Ordinary people see that Zhang Ke has offended a circle of people, and his name is all over the world, and he is slandered all over the world. But many people ignore that Zhang Ke is really good to his subordinates!
Take Jiangnan as an example, an examination to recruit talents has solved the future of many poor scholars, allowing them to have decent jobs and straighten their chests wherever they go.
To clean up the maladministration and cancel the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the owners of many small and medium-sized shops have offered statues of Zhang Ke, and regarded him as a Buddha of ten thousand families.
Not to mention those troops, if these people knew that it was possible that the palace sent someone to assassinate Zhang Ke, they would definitely be boiling back. Someone ascended to the top and shouted, and the responders gathered, and immediately the world was in chaos!
"Oh, Grandpa Guo, how many winds and waves have you seen, but don't die! If you live, we can all live, otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will be gone......"
Perhaps the ardent expectation of the prince played a role, Zhang Ke on the hospital bed frowned, and suddenly opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of black blood.
"Alas! Grandpa Guo has finally woken up! ”
Wu Youxing let out a long sigh.
Zhang Ke on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Wu, Divine Doctor Wu, why are you here?" ”
"Grandpa Guo, it's also a coincidence, the old man just came from Liaodong, and he encountered this incident."
Under Zhang Ke's suggestion, Wu Youxing's medical skills have soared in recent years. First he established a rigorous anatomy, and then with the help of a microscope, he figured out the root cause of infectious diseases.
Zhang Ke went from Shandong to Jiangsu, and has always had a mission, which is to immigrate to Liaodong. And Wu Youxing went south as a medical consultant to avoid problems such as water and soil adaptation.
Coincidentally, as soon as he arrived, Zhang Ke encountered an assassination.
"Grandpa Guo is awake!"
When the five words came, Shen Qingyan's tears could no longer be stopped, and she ran from the outhouse to the inside. pounced on Zhang Ke and cried loudly.
"Master, if you have three longs and two shorts, how can you live for slaves and children?"
Fang Yunqing also walked in from outside with a bowl of medicine, and was surprised and happy to see Zhang Ke wake up.
"Doctor Wu really rejuvenated, thank you!"
"Hehehe, it doesn't have to be this way." Wu Youxing said with a smile: "The injury on Grandpa Guo's body is insignificant. It's that I've been fighting and running around all these years, and I've left a dark disease on my body, so I have to be careful! ”
Hearing Wu Youxing's words, Zhang Ke nodded. No wonder I don't have any energy at all. Thinking about the time when I was assassinated during the day, I was still a little scared.
He ran away from the Assassin with his cart and ran down the alley, but he didn't get far. A dozen or so men in black rushed out from both sides. The guards who followed him all turned around and fought with the assassins, and Zhang Ke couldn't care about anything, he could only run wildly.
Ran all the way to the end of the alley. He was about to turn over the wall, but at the moment of jumping, his back was suddenly struck by lightning, as if a hammer had hit his body, and Zhang Ke fell down.
"Hahaha, surnamed Zhang, Lao Tzu's crossbow arrows are the first in the world, you can't run!"
A big black man jumped down from the ridge of the house, followed by a petite figure, and grabbed the front.
"Senior brother, let my little sister kill this fang!"
"Good!" The big man carefully stuffed the crossbow arrow back into his clothes, and the woman had already arrived at Zhang Ke's side at this time, only to see Zhang Ke motionless, she gritted her teeth!
"The surname is Zhang, you killed my whole family, the heavens are clear, you, go and die!"
The woman raised the short knife and was about to cut it down, but at an instant, Zhang Ke, who was motionless, suddenly turned around suddenly, he had an extra brick in his hand, raised his hand and threw it out, which hit the woman's chest just in time, and the woman hurriedly retreated.
Zhang Ke slammed to his feet, jumped over the fence, and entered the courtyard.
"Have a little heart, kill if you want to kill, don't mother-in-law! Hahaha......"
Arrogant laughter floated in the air, and the big man hurriedly helped the woman up.
"Senior sister, are you okay?"
"Who wants you to care, go after Zhang Ke!"
The big man nodded hurriedly, chased after him in three steps and two steps, and took out a crossbow arrow. Just now, he was confused, and if he had aimed at his head, he would have died long ago. But there was no regret medicine to take, Dahan jumped into the courtyard, but Zhang Ke had long disappeared......
When people are at the moment of life and death, they tend to play for a long time, Zhang Ke is like this, he is like lightning, no matter how high the courtyard wall is, he jumps over.
He exerted his strength and ran all the way to the street, where a group of cavalry came in front of him, led by Sun Jiawen.
"Yes, it's Grandpa Guo, are you okay?"
Sun Jiawen hurriedly supported Zhang Ke, but as soon as Zhang Ke's eyes rolled, he fell unconscious.
Wu Youxing was holding a five-inch-long crossbow arrow in his hand, and the arrow was shining blue, and it looked like it had been fed with poison. In front of him was a pair of swarthy soft armor, and there was a small hole in the back of the soft armor.
Zhang Ke was hit hard by a crossbow arrow, coupled with a crazy run, which triggered a dark disease, and he was seriously injured and unconscious. Now that the blood is vomiting out, the situation is much better.
"The old man just saw it, and the poison on it is to seal his throat with blood, which is extremely powerful. But fortunately, with the help of God, Grandpa Guo was wearing soft armor and chain mail outside, and he was only one point short of piercing the skin! This assassin is really crazy, and he actually has crossbow arrows that penetrate two layers of armor, which shows that he is scheming, Grandpa Guo, you have to investigate carefully! ”
Shen Qingyan and Fang Yunqing wiped their tears, and said in unison: "If you want to investigate, you must investigate, you must not let it go!" ”
Although he was injured and couldn't move, Zhang Ke's head was clearer.
There are many people in the world who want to die by themselves, but under their own noses, there are very few people who plan assassinations of such a scale, who is it?
……
"Grandpa Guo, we're back!"
From the outside, Deng Wentong and Wu Boyan walked in one after the other, and when they saw Zhang Ke wake up, they were overjoyed.
"Grandpa Guo, are you alright?"
"Can't die!" Zhang Ke said with a smile: "With Divine Doctor Wu here, even if he dies, he can pull me back from the Ghost Gate, you can talk about the investigation first!" ”
"Yes!" Deng Wentong said first: "I am responsible for interrogating the assassins, after investigation, a total of 79 assassins were killed and captured, of which 42 were men in black. I really don't know who has such power to get so many thieves! ”
Wu Boyan pursed his lips and sneered: "Do you still need to ask, it must be the City Boss Division, the dog emperor behind it!" ”
"Bo Yan, don't talk nonsense!" Deng Wentong scolded.
Wu Boyan didn't care, sneered and took out Li Shi's suicide note, and held it high.
"Lord Deng, take a look! This is a suicide note written by the crazy Li Shi, he said it, he killed people for his master! Who is his master, not the Emperor of the Apocalypse Dog! Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, shameless, shameless! ”
"No, why did the Holy One assassinate Yongzhen?"
"Why? Envy, jealousy and hatred, my Lord Deng, it's all obvious! We can't just admit it! Grandpa Guo, you quickly give an order, immediately raise troops and enter the capital, and we will protect you as the emperor! ”
If you want to rebel, this can frighten Deng Wentong, he can't care about Wu Boyan, a little angry young man, so he can only look at Zhang Ke as if asking for help.
"Yongzhen, rebellion is absolutely impossible, what should I do, you hurry up and get an idea!"
Zhang Ke lay on the bed, silent, for a long time, and suddenly said quietly: "The king called the minister to die, the minister had to die, and the lord simply died!" (To be continued......)
