Before the beginning of winter, it rained constantly, and the sky was always gray.

The road outside the Desheng Gate in the northern city of Jingshi was muddy, and in the thin morning mist, a carriage came galloping, and the driver of the carriage shook his whip, letting the fine rain drip on his rough face, but he didn't bother to raise his hand to wipe it.

In the shaking and bumpy carriage, there sat a man with a white face and beard, dressed in civilian clothes, the man kept lifting the curtain, looking at the towering city wall of Jingshi in front of him, and his expression was faintly joyful with a little anxiety that could not be concealed.

The man's surname is Liu, his name is Qing, and he is the culprit who caused more than 30 Kaige generals to be wiped out and Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials was assassinated for revenge,—— Liu Qing, the eunuch of Xuanfu Town.

Liu Qing secretly entered Beijing in civilian clothes this time.

He couldn't help but come, as early as before Ma Wensheng was assassinated, Liu Qing had received the news that more than 30 generals assigned to Qiongnan had collectively absconded, and he panicked at that time, knowing that things were going to make a big fuss, so he rushed to Beijing non-stop, and on the second day of Ma Wensheng's assassination, the carriage he was riding in had rushed to the Desheng Gate of Jingshi.

It's not that Liu Qing is soft-hearted, the noise was too big when he killed more than 30 families of women and children, and there were already many generals in the Xuanfu border army who hated the same enemy, and they were dissatisfied with it, Liu Qing didn't dare to act rashly, and he originally planned to send someone to get rid of the 30 or so generals who were assigned when the wind was a little smaller this year, but when he was about to send assassins to end this henchman, the 30 or so generals learned that they had been wiped out by somehow, so they absconded en masse......

Looking at the towering and majestic quaint city wall of the Beijing Division, Liu Qing felt like a big stone in his heart. Heavy.

I hope that the gang of killers didn't make a disturbance in Jingshi, otherwise he Liu Qing would be in a dead end and could not be saved.

The carriage drove as fast as it could, and in a matter of moments it entered the city gates.

After entering the city, Liu Qing got a thunderbolt news on a sunny day, the official Ma Shangshu was stabbed yesterday, the Son of Heaven was furious, and he ordered Jinyi Weidong Factory to investigate thoroughly.

"Thoroughly" means to have a result in the matter. It is also necessary to find out the antecedents, and the antecedents and consequences are all the same.

The result is not Liu Qing's business, what he is afraid of is the antecedents. Because Liu Qing is this "antecedent", he can't stand the investigation.

Liu Qing, who was pale, panicked, and hurriedly handed over the greeting post and gift list to his backstage bigwigs in Jingshi.

When prayer slips and prayer slips are thrown out of the crack in the door. Liu Qing, who was nervous, finally fell into despair. He knew that he was finished.

Qin Kan gradually discovered that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty knew the art of speaking, and the older they were, the more artistic they became.

Laughing and boasting that people who do things that lack virtue are talents, and this kind of person is more immoral than those who do things that lack virtue. Anyway, Qin Kan always felt that the old man was scolding with a smile in his ears, and what was even more uncomfortable was that Qin Kan himself didn't know whether it was better to blush-face and stare at the moment or show his modesty, so he had to pretend that he hadn't heard anything.

Qin Kan is not without introspection, he has defined himself, he cannot be regarded as a good person, and he is not pure in his badness. This kind of person is often not pleasing at both ends, the good guy camp does not accept it, and the bad guy camp also rejects it, and he lives two lives like this without embarrassment or embarrassment, but fortunately the two lives are not bad. I don't know whether it depends on luck or strength, and I don't know whether the future will be rich and glorious or self-isolation from the people.

The factory guards surrounded the Ma Mansion to the water, which can be described as a knife out of the sheath, a bow on the string, and the degree of security in the small mansion is comparable to that of the Imperial Palace, and the silence exudes a murderous atmosphere.

Everyone is waiting. Wait for the Assassins to do it again.

Everyone also believes that they will do it, some hatred is impossible to dissipate, can only become stronger and stronger with the passage of time, all say that the deepest hatred in the world is the hatred of killing the father, the hatred of taking the wife, and the article of destroying the whole door, has included all the hatred, the people of the factory guard know, and the assassins also know that this is an unsolvable dead end, and the conflict cannot be avoided, but it is only a matter of time sooner or later. …,

Not only are the factory guards waiting, but the entire Jingshi is waiting for the emperor and down to the imperial history of the seven products of the court, and they are all waiting, pondering while waiting.

Such a big event, naturally it is impossible to just get the thief and give up, there is a lot to do, assassinate the heavenly official, the palace gate to submit a letter, this is a naked provocation to the imperial power, it can be said that this matter is actually a basin of dirty water, if you don't feel disgusting, pick up the dirty water and splash it on the political enemy, if you don't die, you have to let him shed his skin.

So everyone was silent, silently waiting for the thief to make a move, silently using their brains, thinking about what ingenious means to use to burn this fire on political enemies.

Qin Kan is also waiting, he is just a small thousand households, not as many calculations as the ministers of the court, he only hopes that Ma Wensheng will not have an accident within the three-day period set by His Majesty, as for whether the case can be solved after three days, he can't control this matter, this should be a headache for Mu Bin, only by virtue of the credit that Ma Wensheng had saved his life when he was assassinated, Qin Kan has been invincible, even if the case has no result within three days, even if the entire Jinyi Wei is blamed by His Majesty, it is certain that he will not have any punishment, because he has the merit at the bottom.

Sometimes Qin Kan also feels that he is quite sad, he is just a small thousand households and has learned the essence of bureaucracy, everything can be pushed and pushed, and if he can be avoided, think about it from another angle, if he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he meets all such ministers in the court, I am afraid that he will be so angry that he will vomit blood, right?

There is only one Qin Kan in this world, but fortunately there is only one.

The expected thing happened as promised.

Some hatred must be repaid in a race against time, otherwise the hatred will backfire and drive people crazy.

The group of Assassins was probably in a state of madness, too.

On the night of the second day after Ma Wensheng's assassination, just after the second hour, the Jinyi guards and Dongchang fans on the periphery of Mafu sounded the gong to warn, and the sound of the gong broke the silence of the Beijing Division.

Qin Kan has been sleeping in the gatehouse of the front door of the Ma Mansion for the past two days, and the responsibility is heavy, he does not dare to go home, he must be nailed to his post like a nail.

Hearing the warning sound, Qin Kan, who was lying in his clothes, quickly got up and rushed out.

He was not worried about encountering the thieves, because he had laid at least three lines of defense in the streets and alleys of the inner city outside the front gate of the Ma Mansion, and if the thieves wanted to kill the gatehouse, they would have to pay a long time and a heavy price.

Qin Kan was just wondering, according to his estimate, this group of assassins should not be so reckless, at least they had to be fully prepared before acting, why did they decide to do it tonight?

Judging from their precise planning performance on the day of the first assassination, it seems that the IQ level of the thieves tonight has dropped a lot, which is also the strangest thing about Qin Kan.

The sound of the gong became more and more rapid, and the sound became louder and louder, and the captain who beat the gong was obviously rapidly approaching the gate of Mafu.

Qin Kan stood on the stone steps of the gate with a cold face, surrounded by a group of captains with bows and strings, Ding Shun and his subordinates were inseparable, drawing his sword to surround him in the center.

Qin Kan quietly stared at the empty street in the distance outside the door, quietly listening to the sound of gongs at the end of the street becoming more and more rapid and clear.

A scream was heard, and the sound of the gong stopped abruptly, apparently the captain who struck the gong had been killed by the assassins.

Qin Kan couldn't help but be shocked, this group of assassins was too powerful, could it be that they had broken through the three lines of defense they had arranged?

In the dark and silent street in the distance, several black shadows appeared, the black shadows jumped and moved, their bodies staggered a little, they were dressed in black, not the dress of a captain, nor the color of a fanzi's uniform, and the target came straight in the direction of the gate of Mafu.

Qin Kan sighed secretly, they finally came, although it was unwise.

PS: Recently, I feel too tired, my energy is getting worse and worse, and my face is getting worse and worse, my wife said that the pressure is too great, and at the same time there is a lack of exercise, so I decided to grit my teeth and buy a treadmill tomorrow.

I really want to live another 500 years...... (To be continued)
