Zhang Rubao has been in Yangzhou for five days. After the assassination of the garrison master, the boss Xue Zhinong immediately came to the action team. He brought an order from the garrison lord to send people to Yangzhou immediately to retaliate against the Qi family. Because Zhang Rubao was the captain of the last action team to lead the team to Yangzhou, the manpower sent by the action team this time will also be led by Zhang Rubao.

Xue Zhinong's order to Zhang Rubao was very simple, that is, the action team went to Yangzhou to kill the head of the Qi family. Xue Zhinong only set a time for Zhang Rubao, and the day to kill the head of the Qi family must be a month later, on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of July. Xue Zhinong didn't care how many people the rest of the squad dispatched and what method should be used to assassinate them, it was up to Zhang Rubao to decide.

And this time, Xue Zhinong will not personally lead the action team to Yangzhou, because Xue Zhinong still has to do something arranged by Wu Shigong in Henan.

So, Zhang Rubao selected twenty more skilled members in the action team, and gathered these people, and everyone brainstormed to think of an assassination Jihua.

However, in the current action team, there are more members who are born as soldiers, and even if there are a few members of the bandits, they are good at robbing roads and kidnapping tickets, and they are indeed laymen in assassination.

So everyone discussed for a long time, and what methods such as poisoning, ambush and so on were proposed, but they were also denied by everyone one by one. Because this assassination has two difficulties:

One is that the head of the Qi family must be protected by guards, and it is difficult for the members of the assassination team to get close to the head of the Qi family; The other is that because it's summer, everyone is wearing very thin clothes, so those who are in the squad can't carry long weapons except for short daggers.

When they arrived in Zuihou, the members of the squad felt that the most suitable assassination weapon was the handcuff. As for the method of assassination, the simplest method was discussed - after sending a member of the action team to approach the head of the Qi family with a handcuff, he shot at the head of the Qi family.

Don't say it, when you get to Zuihou, all the team members agree that this simple and crude method is the best way. And after the method is decided, it is necessary to determine the personnel who will carry out the assassination. And Zhang Rubao took the lead and snatched this task.

Zhang Rubao has been soaking in the teahouse opposite the door of the Qi family for four days, and he found that every morning, the Qi family always parked the carriage at the main entrance, and after a while, the head of the Qi family would take his entourage out of the gate and take the carriage out to run errands. And yesterday, the action team has already discussed it, and today is the day when Zhang Rubao assassinated the head of the Qi family.

Seeing that the carriage at the main gate of Qi's house had been parked again, Zhang Rubao left some broken silver on the table, picked up an oiled paper bag on the table and walked out.

And in the oil-paper bag, there was a handcuff that had long been filled with gunpowder and bullets. When he left the teahouse, Zhang Rubao saw that no one around him noticed him, so he quickly lit the fire rope of the handcuff with a fire medium.

In front of the main entrance of the Qi family, there was a large open space, and Zhang Rubao walked over unhurriedly. Because he was carrying an oil-paper bag in his hand, in the eyes of others, they all thought that he was carrying a piece of pork or chicken and duck that he had just bought.

Zhang Rubao got closer and closer to the carriage, and when he took two steps, he blew the fire rope burning outside the oiled paper bag, for fear that the fire rope would be extinguished. At this time, the head of the Qi family also walked out of the door of the Qi family. He laughed with the Qingke beside him, and also walked towards his carriage.

When the head of the Qi family walked to the carriage, Zhang Rubao was only seven or eight steps away from the head of the Qi family. But for Zuihou's affirmation, Zhang Rubao raised the oil-paper bag in his hand and shouted to the head of the Qi family: "Pray for the master! ”

As soon as the head of the Qi family wanted to get into the carriage, he heard someone shouting to him. He lifted his head, puffed out his chest, and looked at the man who had called him. The head of the Qi family saw a stout man holding an oil-paper bag in his hand and aimed at him.

The head of the Qi family found that he didn't know the big man at all, and the big man looked very strange when he was holding an oiled paper bag. The head of the Qi family muttered to himself in his heart: "I don't know where to get out of a madman." And the guards around the head of the Qi family also stepped forward, trying to get rid of this madman.

But at this moment, there was a loud bang, and a flame erupted from the oiled paper bag, and the head of the Qi family felt that he was slammed into the chest. Immediately, he collapsed with a weak body.

Zhang Rubao saw spider web-like blood oozing from the chest of the head of the Qi family. I knew that the head of the Qi family was already hopeless. In this era, the flight of bullets from firecrackers and handguns is very irregular, so when they hit a person's body, the bullets will roll and fly. Rarely, penetrating injuries are caused.

Therefore, the bullet that Zhang Rubao shot had already caused great damage to the internal organs of the head of the Qi family. Coupled with the medical conditions of this era, it can be said that Zhang Rubao is already sure that the head of the Qi family will definitely enter the ghost gate.

After Zhang Rubao launched the handcuffs, he turned around and ran without hesitation. And the guards who stepped forward to stop Zhang Rubao just now, they were first startled by the loud sound of the handcuffs being fired, and when they found that Master Qi behind them had fallen in a pool of blood, they wanted to look for the assassin again, but they found that the assassin who assassinated Master Qi had run away without a shadow.

The head of the prayer family is not dead for a while. He was very unwilling, because he had no idea who was going to assassinate him. Because the head of the Qi family didn't know at all, Wang Mi of his Qi family hid it from him at all, and hired assassins to assassinate Wu Shigong on his own initiative, and no one even told him the news of Wu Shigong's assassination.

So when it came time for the head of the Qi family to swallow Zuihou's breath, his eyes were still wide. He was indeed a little dumbfounded.

Zhang Rubao led the retreat of the action team members to a little surprisingly smooth, and did not encounter any obstacles at all. Because in Yangzhou City, it has not been a long time since this kind of vicious incident of assassination in broad daylight on the street, so whether it is the various yamen in Yangzhou City or the guards of the Qi family, they are a little at a loss how to deal with this situation.

When they finally remembered to close the gate of Yangzhou City and search for assassins in Yangzhou City, Zhang Rubao had already left Yangzhou City with the members of the action team and left.

Zhang Rubao brought it to Yangzhou City this time, with a total of 20 members of the action team. But in addition to Zhang Rubao's assassination mission, some of the other team members were ready to make up for the second assassination when Zhang Rubao missed; Some wanted to cover Zhang Rubao's escape. Even Zhang Rubao arranged three team members on the edge of a remote city wall in Yangzhou, preparing to climb out of the city from the city wall in case the Yangzhou city gate was closed. But Zhang Rubao didn't use all these follow-up methods.

The news of the assassination of the head of the Qi family caused a sensation in Yangzhou City. The Qi family immediately offered a reward of 5,000 taels of silver to track down the murderer. And other salt merchants also speculated about the reason why the head of the Qi family was assassinated.

Of course, among the people in Yangzhou City, the origin of the assassin who assassinated the head of the Qi family has also been spread, and the most widely spread must be the pink news that is jealous of what kind of woman.

But these rumors were immediately quelled after seven or eight days. Because everyone immediately knew who had assassinated the head of the Qi family. Because at this time, big news came from Henan that shocked the entire Yangzhou salt business community.
