This is the summer of the fourth year of Chongzhen. When Wu Shigong sent Li Pengfei and these brocade guards away, he immediately sent someone to Lu Yunhuan and issued an order: Lu Yunhuan was forbidden to go to Qi's house to get salt, and all the salt sold by Lu Yunhuan in the future would be picked up by Wu Shigong. Of course, this will be a bit more expensive. However, Wu Shigong also assured Lu Yunhuan that he would support Lu Yunhuan in raising the price of salt in his sales area.

Regarding Wu Shigong's order, Lu Yunhuan didn't even dare to let go of a fart, so he agreed. Lu Yunhuan knows Wu Shigong's methods, and he can only sigh at home, weishenme Wu Shigong refuses to accept the women in his clan? In this way, Lu Yunhuan can also talk a little better!

It wasn't until Li Pengfei came that Wu Shigong knew that the Qi family had made so many small moves in Henan officialdom. Of course, Wu Shigong wants to teach the Qi family a lesson. Of course, Wu Shigong didn't do anything about it, and he didn't move the Qi family's salt sales in other parts of Runing Mansion, but only moved the salt sales area that Wang Mi was responsible for.

Wu Shigong just wants to pressure the Qi family to be soft, if the Qi family knows a little bit and asks Wu Shigong's salt farm to ship the salt to Henan, Wu Shigong may also make some concessions to the Qi family accordingly.

Wang Mi saw that the area he was in charge of was completely occupied by the salt goods that Wu Shigong had brought from Changlu. Now that he has no need to stay in Henan, Wang Mi also sorted out his salutes and prepared to return to Yangzhou.

But at this time, one of Wang Mi's guards found him, and this guard was a guard who was familiar with the local situation in Runing Mansion when Wang Mi went to Li Harrier to contact the salt business.

Because Wang Mi was also leaving Runing Mansion, just a few days ago, Wang Mi also settled accounts with the guard and dismissed the guard. And because this guard lost his job, he was going back to the rivers and lakes to live that precarious life, so he especially wanted Wang Mi to open the situation of salt sales and stay in Runing Mansion.

After the guard found Wang Mi, he said to Wang Mi: "Master, in fact, there is a way to get rid of the Wu guard, do you want to give it a try?" ”

"What's the solution?" Wang Mi asked puzzled. He couldn't think of a problem that even his own Qi family couldn't solve, what could this guard do to solve it.

"Just hire someone to kill him!" The guard whispered in Wang Mi's ear.

The guard's words startled Wang Mi. You must know that they have not done anything to seize the market by using this kind of illegal means, but they often face ordinary people with no background. And if they want to assassinate an official, once it is exposed, it will definitely be a heinous disaster, so they will never allow this kind of behavior in their prayer family.

So Wang Mi immediately shook his head and said, "This won't work. ”

The guard was not discouraged, and he continued to persuade unyieldingly: "Master, the little one knows that you have not made any mistakes, but this time when the master returns to Yangzhou, he will also go to Qi's house to eat a big hanging." But as long as the master solves the big trouble of Wu Shoubei, then the master still has a chance to make a comeback. Besides, the small affairs have also been carefully considered, and they will definitely not let the assassination of Wu Shoubei involve you, master. ”

The guard's words moved Wang Mi's heart, and he frowned and said, "Then tell me, what are you going to do?" ”

"Master, we are ......" The guard still lowered his voice and whispered in Wang Mi's ear for a long time.

The more Wang Mi listened, the more moved he became, and after asking the guard a few questions, Wang Mi gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Just do what you say." Remember, I can give you the money first, but you won't do it until I leave Henan. ”

Early in the morning, after Wu Shigong still practiced in the morning, accompanied by more than a dozen guards, he led his own people to go out for a walk with the little pitiful. Wu Shigong and the guards laughed and followed a familiar route into an alley. This alley is also relatively spacious, and at the mouth of the alley, there is a stall selling hot dry noodles. Some early risers are squatting and eating hot dry noodles.

Ma Jiu squatted on the ground and ate hot dry noodles, he ate tastelessly, and just mechanically used the chopsticks in his hand to pick up the noodles into his mouth. Ma Jiu knew that this might be the zuihou meal he ate, because he had already seen his enemy turn into the alley.

Ma Jiu also participated in the Holy Spirit Society at that time, and later led his whole family to join the rebellion with Master Mu. But then a group of Ming troops came, and the Holy Spirit Society was defeated, and Master Mu was trampled to death by a chaotic horse.

And Ma Jiu ran away with the whole family at that time, but in the process of escaping, Ma Jiu's old mother, several children and wife were separated one after another, and when they arrived in Zuihou, Ma Jiu also escaped with his father and the only remaining son.

If that's all the case, Ma Jiu might just accept his fate. But after that, after Ma Jiu inquired about the whereabouts of his family, he learned that his mother and several other children were missing, and his wife was sold to the dog official's subordinates as a concubine by the dog official in front of him.

At that time, Ma Jiu also made an appointment with a few people who had the same experience, wanting to rescue his wife, but after those people arrived at the territory of this dog official, they were reported and arrested one after another, and then they were all beheaded as remnants of the Holy Spirit Society. Seeing this situation, Ma Jiu also had to resist his urge to save his wife.

But later, Ma Jiu fell into the grass and became a bandit, but his bandit cottage was broken by the dog official in front of him, and in the process, Ma Jiu's father also died.

Ma Jiu, who escaped again, had no choice but to take his son and come to Runing Mansion City according to a relationship he had when he was a bandit before, and became a thug who fought in the line.

Because Ma Jiu had seen blood when he was a bandit, he quickly made a name for himself in the industry. But in the final analysis, Ma Jiu is just a thug, and his life is still tight.

But a few days ago, Ma Jiu met a friend on the rivers and lakes to find Ma Jiu and introduced Ma Jiu to a business of assassination and murder. And this business offered Ma Jiu two thousand taels of silver.

The friend also promised that as long as Ma Jiu succeeded, even if something happened to Ma Jiu, that friend would bring Ma Jiu's son to Jiangnan to raise him, and let his son read and write.

It should be said that the price of these two thousand taels of silver has already moved Ma Jiu's heart, and when he learned that it was the dog official who sold his wife who was going to assassinate, Ma Jiu immediately agreed to the deal.

Ma Jiu knew that he had little hope of surviving after assassinating the dog official, but as long as he killed him, he could not only avenge the hatred of taking his wife, but also leave a worry-free silver for his son.

Besides, Ma Jiu has been in Runing Mansion City for a long time, and the roads in this city are also very familiar. If you're lucky, you'll be able to escape through the newly opened gates. So what about weishenme not fighting?

When he saw Wu Shigong's party getting closer and closer, Ma Jiu took a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, and swallowed what might be a mouthful of zuihou in his life. Then he put the rice bowl on the ground, took out the sharp knife in his arms, and rushed over with an arrow.

Ma Jiuyi pushed away the unprepared guard beside Wu Shigong, aimed at Wu Shigong's lower abdomen, and stabbed the sharp knife fiercely.
