The assassins jumped and moved forward dozens of zhang away from Qin Kan, constantly changing their postures, this was to avoid being shot by the Jinyi guard's bow and crossbow in order to avoid walking in a straight line, and their direction was still unyielding towards the gate of Mafu, moving not fast, but firm.

Qin Kan furrowed his eyebrows, pursed his lips without saying a word, and stared coldly at the slightly stumbling figures of the assassins.

As their figures got closer and closer, there were more and more doubts in Qin Kan's heart.

What's going on tonight? Of the more than thirty assassins, why did only these four or five show up? Why are they so reckless in their assassination methods, it seems that they are completely relying on the courage of a horseman, without the slightest scheming, and to put it mildly, they are simply sending them to death.

What exactly are the plots of the Assassins? Do they still have a trail?

Qin Kan trembled, turned his head and commanded his subordinates: "Quickly, send more people into the inner courtyard of the Ma Mansion to protect Ma Shangshu and his family, and all the musketeers in the front yard will line up in the inner courtyard, and if they encounter assassins, they will be killed on the spot." ”

"Yes."

The foreman of the East Factory, who was not far from Qin Kan, also hurriedly gave the same order to the fans.

Tonight's incident is strange, only to respond to all changes with the same, as long as Ma Shangshu is protected, no matter what happens outside, Ma Shangshu is meritorious.

After the arrangements were made, Qin Kan quietly watched the four or five assassins staggering closer, Ding Shun's right arm was raised slightly, ready to let his subordinates release arrows, Qin Kan shook his head: "Catch it alive." ”

There are at least five or six hundred captains and fanzi gathered around, and if even these four or five people can't beat them, the factory guards will be too sloppy.

Qin Kan gave an order, and of course his subordinates had to carry it out, so more than 20 lieutenants hunched their waists and rushed up with embroidered spring knives, and in a few breaths, they met the assassin head-on.

Boom!

Swords clash, and a relentless fight begins.

In a battle without suspense, four or five assassins were already surrounded by hundreds of Jinyi guards and Dongchang, like a flat boat in an angry sea, struggling to support themselves in the stormy waves.

Torches have been lit one after another, and the fighting arena is illuminated several feet in a circle.

Several of the Assassins were undaunted. Their faces were covered with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes.

By the light of the torches, Qin Kan saw their eyes, and couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, and an inexplicable emotion lingered in his heart.

What a gaze that is. Blood-congested, red, flashing with extreme hatred and hatred, and indomitable determination.

What exactly do they want to do? So under the net. Can just four or five assassins kill Ma Wensheng? They are also border army generals who have led troops, how can they make such a brave and unscrupulous choice?

Qin Kan's heart was filled with a little sympathy, but also a little disgust, they were wiped out, but they were also real greedy criminals, Ma Wensheng's fairness and strictness are definitely worth believing, and there can be no grievances in the cases he handled.

The roofs and walls of the surrounding houses, as well as the alleys of the alleys. Many brocade-clothed captains and fanzi sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, holding weapons and waiting for battle, and all the brocade-clothed guards who Qin Kan had arranged an ambush around Mafu showed their heads. Their eyes stared coldly at the center of the fighting arena, and everyone had a faint sneer on their faces, like cheetahs looking at antelopes that had fallen under their claws.

The Assassins were not antelopes, they were not weak, and in half a pillar of incense, their feet were already full of brocade guards hunting them.

After all, they used to be generals of the border army, and their personal strength was many times stronger than that of Jingshi Jinyiwei, who had eaten Taiping food for many years, but Jinyiwei couldn't kill them all, and one person was chopped down. Immediately, someone made up for it, and there was an endless stream of them.

Ding Shun was a little out of breath, and looked at Qin Kan eagerly, he wanted to shoot these assassins with arrows.

Qin Kan shook his head slowly. He had a great deal of confusion in his mind, and he had to be told by a living Assassin. …,

"Catch it alive." Qin Kan repeated again, his tone unquestionable.

Ding Shun sighed helplessly, beckoned and shouted, and the old brothers in Nanjing, who had followed Qin Kan to fight against the Japanese on Chongming Island, picked up their spears. Just as they had done when they had killed the Wokos, they formed a neat line and marched towards the Assassins.

Battlefield fighting has never been a one-person thing, why is it that all the martial arts masters in the world are vulnerable in front of the army? Because the army is a huge machine that strangles the enemy, it is absolutely impossible for an individual force to resist it.

Seeing that the Jinyi guards lined up in a queue, slowly approaching with spears, the assassins who used to be the generals who led the troops naturally knew how powerful, looked at each other, nodded heavily, two of them built a bridge with their hands, and the other three assassins stepped on their hands, and one flew out of the encirclement, and the two assassins who built the bridge with their hands were still in the encirclement, and in the face of countless stabbing swords, they did not dodge or dodge, as if they had completed their historical mission, spread out their hands and let the swords stab their bodies fiercely, and fell to the ground and died.

The three assassins who flew out of the encirclement had already seen that Qin Kan standing on the stone steps of the Mafu Gate was the leader, and before everyone could react, the assassins raised their knives and rushed towards Qin Kan.

Ding Shun couldn't help but be furious, drew his knife in his hand and shouted: "What a bold man! ”

Qin Kan waved his hand expressionlessly, and hundreds of brocade guards poured out of the gate of the Mafu like a landslide, surrounding the three assassins who had escaped from the encirclement again.

"Three of you give up, you can't kill Ma Shangshu, hurry up and tie up Fang Zhongjie." Qin Kan sighed deeply.

With such a desperate style of fighting, fighting without discipline and no goal, Qin Kan was somewhat shocked in his heart.

What are they doing this for?

Looking at the crowds of people around them, the three assassins in the middle of the encirclement ripped off the black cloth covering their faces, revealing three ordinary and unfamiliar faces that were still flowing with blood.

Qin Kan looked at them, they also looked at Qin Kan, and the captains around them were shocked by this strange scene, and the noisy and noisy Ma Mansion and the outside suddenly fell into a long silence.

"Why are you doing this?" Qin Kan finally asked the biggest question that was bothering him tonight.

The three Assassins were expressionless and silent.

"The Son of Heaven has been angry, you have no luck, surrender, I will let you die a happy death."

The three assassins looked at each other, and there was a resolute smile in their eyes, Qin Kan saw their lifeless eyes, and secretly said that it was not good, just about to open his mouth to take someone, but he saw the three assassins suddenly raise the knife in their hands and swiped their backhand on their necks......

Blood splattered, and the three of them fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust like a mist.

The five Assassins were ambushed and did not get a single one alive.

There was still silence. Everyone stared at the five corpses on the ground and was silent for a long time.

Qin Kan was also deeply shocked, the power of hatred in the world could reach such a level, and the five assassins did not say a word from beginning to end, like five moths rushing towards the fire, allowing the fire to burn them to ashes.

"It's strange, these five people are not here to die tonight." An old voice next to him said slowly.

Qin Kan turned his head, but saw that Ma Wensheng walked out of the door at some point. Staring at the corpse of the assassin on the ground, his expression was a little complicated.

Qin Kan smiled reluctantly: "Ma Shangshu is right, the lower officials are also very puzzled, the assassins used to be generals with troops, but tonight they sent five people to die, how could they make such a stupid move?" ”

Ma Wensheng said solemnly: "Of the more than 30 generals who were reformed by the old man back then, the largest was a general, and the youngest was also a hundred households, and everyone knew the art of war. In the past, there was even a copy of their merit in the copywriting file of the Ministry of War, and they would not do such a stupid thing. There must be another purpose. ”

The two stood in front of the stone steps and pondered for a long time, but in the end, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly...... The work of cleaning up the aftermath went quickly, and Jingshi sank into silence again, the tragic battle in the middle of the night seemed to be just a nightmare, and after waking up, he continued to close his eyes and lie down, everything was as usual. …,

The corpses of the five assassins were sent to the North Town Fusi, where professional servants and investigators analyzed and deduced the corpses, from the clothing and fabric of the corpses. Clothing, weapon markings, and even food residues in their stomachs to deduce the location of the remaining two dozen or so Assassins.

Of course, it is not surprising that there is a question about the attribution of the five corpses. Another skirmish broke out between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the fight between the factory guards was more lively and ornamental than the arrest of the assassins.

In the matter of competing for credit, Qin Kan would never give in, he couldn't figure it out. What's the use of the physically disabled eunuchs in Dongchang grabbing so much credit? If you say that it will be left to future generations, it is obviously suspected of scolding, and everyone in the world knows that even if the eunuchs have sons, they all look like Uncle Wang next door without exception......

The conflict ended with Qin Kan's slap on the foreman of the East Factory, and the five corpses were happily carried into the Fusi of Beizhen by the Jinyi Guard, and Qin Kan's face twitched.

The foreman of the East Factory was also carried by the fans to find a doctor to rescue him, and everyone carried their own and each carried it. The merit-grabbing incident ended perfectly.

The commander Mu Bin issued a commendation order to Qin Kan, to the effect that he praised Qin Kan for his meritorious work in killing the thief, and rewarded him with five hundred taels of silver.

Looking at Mu Bin's old face that kept twitching but forced a smile, Qin Kan had no choice but to smile bitterly and touch his nose.

In fact, they both knew in their hearts that what Mu Bin wanted to do most was not to issue a commendation order, but to slap Qin Kan's face with the sole of his shoe. It's just that the five assassins are indeed a credit on the surface, and Mu Bin has to endure the disgust to reward him, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

Hundreds of thousands of people took five assassins, but they didn't take down a single one alive, and the remaining more than 20 assassins were still at large, with no clues at all, and there was only one day left before the three-day deadline set by His Majesty, and Mu Bin didn't even have the intention of hanging...... North Town Fuji Lobby.

"How did the assassin die?" Mu Bin's tone was a little cold.

"Committed suicide in public, and the lower officials didn't have time to stop it......" Qin Kan paused for a moment, and couldn't help but hint: "They are wiping their necks with knives, this, it is faster than hanging, and it hurts and ...... fast."

- If Commander Mu wants to die, it is best to follow the example of these five assassins, as a person who has come over, Qin Kan will never recommend using the uncomfortable and unmanly death method of hanging.

It's not looking forward to Mu Bin's death, Qin Kan respects his boss, and his boss is God, but if God himself wants to die, Qin Kan doesn't mind converting to Buddhism.

Fortunately, Commander Mu didn't hear Qin Kan's words, otherwise he might have copied the knife, but it should have wiped Qin Kan's neck.

"What to do? There is only one day left before the limit of His Majesty's reign, and there are still more than 20 killings hidden in the Beijing Division, and now the hundreds of officials in the court are panicking, and the imperial historians are playing the impeachment of the factory guards one by one, causing the thieves to mess with the Beijing Division, and His Majesty and the elders of the pavilion are almost unable to stand it...... "Mu Bin said in a low tone, rubbing his eyebrows in annoyance.

The fact that a dignified commander can say this to a subordinate shows that he has been regarded as a confidant, and there is no need to pretend to be advanced in everything.

After thinking about it, Qin Kan said cautiously: "Mu Shuai, the subordinate can only guarantee that Ma Shangshu is safe. As for taking the initiative to find the hiding place of the remaining twenty or so assassins, Xia Guan was ashamed and had no way to do it. ”

Mu Bin smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh: "Yes, the huge Jingshi City, maybe including the boundless suburbs of Beijing, it is not easy to find them." ”

Qin Kan looked at Mu Bin and stopped talking, Mu Bin has been in officialdom for a long time. Naturally, he knew how to observe words and feelings, and when he saw this, he said: "Qin Kan, if you have anything to say, you might as well speak up." ”

Qin Kan looked around the lobby and lowered his voice and said: "The news came from the ears and eyes of the lower officials, saying that Liu Qing, the eunuch guarding the town of Xuanfu, had secretly entered Beijing, although the lower officials did not know whether Liu Qing had anything to do with the case of the more than 30 generals who destroyed the door, but this person returned to Beijing in casual clothes without any orders during the chaos in Beijing, which is obviously not accidental. ”…,

Mu Bin's expression moved slightly, did Liu Qing have anything to do with the door killing case. Qin Kan didn't know the Dao, but he knew the Dao, and he knew how muddy the water in the Dao was. Liu Qing doesn't know what kind of big man is still hidden, the relationship between the bigwigs of all parties in Beijing and the local government and various forces is intertwined and very complicated, Rao is commander of the Jinyi Guard does not dare to touch it slightly, and he will move his whole body with one shot, and if he doesn't get it right, he will set himself on fire.

"What do you want to say?" Mu Bin asked lightly.

"What Xia Guan wants to say is, can you use this Liu Qing and pull him into the game, we can ......"

"No way!" Mu Bin interrupted Qin Kan's words very resolutely. The expression was a little stern: "Qin Kan, don't touch this person, you can't touch it." ”

Qin Kan looked at Mu Bin's expression, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, he fully understood that Liu Qing was a link. Connecting the intricate relationship between the Xuanfu and the Jingshi, the extermination case of more than 30 generals must be inseparable from Liu Qing, in other words, it is inseparable from Liu Qing's backstage bigwigs in the Beijing Division.

Capital. It is a pool of bottomless pool water, the world of the Ming Dynasty, like in a pit, the does not stink, but it stinks.

Qin Kan is a person who loves cleanliness, he doesn't mind being a god stick brother, but he has no interest in being a-stirring stick, not to mention that he can't bear the consequences of being a-stirring stick.

So Qin Kan and Mu Bin glanced at each other, and the topic just now came to an abrupt end.

Everyone is a smart person, you don't have to point through the words, and there is a hazy beauty through a layer of window paper, and it's not interesting to pierce it.

The two of them couldn't come up with a way to arrest the assassin for the time being, and Mu Bin was not in the mood to talk to Qin Kan anymore, so he took a sip of tea and took a sip of it.

Qin Kan didn't move, smart people don't seem to be smart at this moment.

Mu Bin took several sips of tea, Qin Kan still had no intention of leaving, Mu Bin was a little impatient, so he simply drove people away.

"Qin Qianhu is busy with his own business, remember, Ma Shangshu must not make any mistakes."

"Yes...... Why aren't you leaving? ”

"The lower official has something to say...... Qin Kan's expression suddenly became a little shy: "...... Didn't Mu Shuai just say that the officials and their subordinates had meritorious service in punishing the thieves tonight, and they would be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver? These five hundred taels of silver are under the official commission, hehe, the commission is ashamed......"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Bin smiled twice with relief: "It's rare to see you have a sense of shame, this is a good thing, you also feel ashamed of these five hundred taels, right?" ”

Qin Kan's eyes turned into copper bells, and he was stunned: "Why did Mu Shuai say this? The lower official just wanted to ask, where to get the silver...... Mu Bin's trouble was not Qin Kan's trouble, he didn't complete the task assigned by the emperor, and it was Mu Bin who was punished, not him.

However, Qin Kan, who had just received five hundred taels of silver, was a kind person, and a kind person couldn't bear to see his boss punished, so Qin Kan also thought of a way.

Qin Kan's methods are usually more active, he is not used to passively waiting for the enemy, the initiative is in the hands of the enemy It feels very bad, except for the posture during intercourse, Qin Kan has never done passive things in his two lives.

The way he thought of it was very simple, early the next morning, an official sedan chair and hundreds of captains went out, the captains were in full array, the swords were unsheathed, the official sedan chair swayed, carried from the inner city to the outer city, and from the outer city to the Chengtianmen, almost half a circle of the Jingshi City.

It's a pity that Qin Kan calculated in vain, and the remaining twenty or so assassins seemed to have suddenly become smart again, and I don't know if they saw through Qin Kan's tricks, or if they didn't get up too early in the morning, and they didn't react to Qin Kan's tricks at all, and Qin Kan's plan went bankrupt.

As expected, Qin Kan was not disappointed, he did his best to obey the destiny of heaven, as a good subordinate of Commander Mu, he felt that he had done a very good job...... When night fell, Mafu was still surrounded by the captain and the fans, and not even a fly could fly in.

Qin Kan stood in the front yard of Mafu, feeling the cold wind that kept blowing on his face in the winter night, his expression was very calm.

After tonight, the three-day limit of Emperor Hongzhi has expired, and there are still more than twenty Assassins who have not yet received it, and Mu Bin and Wang Yue are about to bear the thunderous wrath of His Majesty.

- unless those assassins make a move on Marven tonight, and all of them are killed or taken down.

Is it possible?

Qin Kan shook his head, no matter when and where the assassin moved, all he could do was to keep Ma Wensheng from injury, it was his responsibility.

The night was dark and quiet, so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.

The shadows of the trees in the atrium of the front yard swayed and swayed, although all the surroundings were full of lieutenants and fans, Qin Kan's eyelids jumped a few times involuntarily, and an inexplicable sudden attack of the rich murderous aura made him can't help but shiver...... Ask for a monthly pass!! In the middle of the month, you may not have many monthly tickets in your hands, if you have, please vote for the old thief...... Thanks! (To be continued) RQ
