Chapter 219: Suspicion is enough
It should be said that Wu Shigong's guards are all qualified soldiers, but they are not qualified guards. They all stood loosely, and they didn't expect that someone would assassinate Wu Shigong in the city of Runing Mansion, so they were rushed in front of Wu Shigong by Ma Jiu at once.
Wu Shigong didn't notice Ma Jiu rushing over at that time, but he felt that the guards around him suddenly dodged away, and another black shadow rushed in front of him, so Wu Shigong's instinct to avoid in his previous life played a role.
Wu Shigong faced the sharp knife stabbed by Ma Jiu, and twisted his waist to the side as much as possible, but in a short time, Wu Shigong still did not completely avoid it. Ma Jiu's sharp knife cut through Wu Shigong's coat and stabbed Wu Shigong's left waist.
But Wu Shigong was in his outer coat, wearing the inner armor given to him by his father-in-law Xue Lian, so Ma Jiu's sharp knife did not pierce it, and the sharp knife slashed along Wu Shigong's inner armor.
Na Ma Jiu reacted quickly, he felt that his sharp knife was blocked just now, and knew that Wu Shigong must be wearing an inner armor that was anti-knife stabbing, so he put away the knife and then stabbed Wu Shigong in the neck.
At this time, the guards on the side were also stunned, and they still didn't react. It was the pitiful little horse beside Wu Shigong who raised his front hooves and kicked towards Ma Jiu.
But the poor little leg is a prosthetic leg, so the center of gravity is very unstable, so this leg did not kick Ma Jiu's real place. However, because the little pity lost his center of gravity, he also fell down all of a sudden, just between Wu Shigong and Ma Jiu. So Ma Jiu's second knife was deeply pierced into the little pitiful body.
But it was such a gap that allowed Wu Shigong and Ma Jiu to distance themselves, and also gave Wu Shigong time to pull out the katana on his waist. So when Ma Jiu pulled out the knife that was stabbed on the little pitiful's body, thinking about stabbing Wu Shigong for the third time, Wu Shigong's katana stood up to Ma Jiu's sharp knife, swirled, twisted the sharp knife and then slashed it, in Ma Jiu's screams, Ma Jiu's right hand holding the knife was cut off by Wu Shigong.
At this time, the guards around Wu Shigong pulled out their waist knives one after another and surrounded them to rescue Wu Shigong. But at this time, there was no need for the help of those guards. Ma Jiu, who had broken his right hand, already knew that his assassination had failed, and he lay on the ground and bit down the pill sewn on his collar with all his might. It didn't take long for him to convulse all over his body, and black blood flowed out of his seven orifices, and he died.
Before he died, Ma Jiu thought that the friend from the rivers and lakes had taken his son out of Runing Mansion City and went to Jiangnan to live a good life, so he was a little relieved to die.
Of course, what Ma Jiu didn't know was that his so-called friend on the rivers and lakes, after leaving Runing Mansion City with his son, immediately killed his son and killed him, cutting off all clues to trace that friend.
Wu Shigong ignored the dead assassin, he half-knelt on the ground, looking at the poor little man lying in a pool of blood. The little poor man tried hard to lift his head, and the people on the side also stretched out their heads to help, but it didn't take long for the little poor to stop moving, and he didn't breathe.
In Wu Shigong's eyes, tears were rolling. This little poor little man went through all the difficulties to survive, but today he sacrificed himself to save Wu Shigong's life.
At this time, Yang Rusong leaned over to Wu Shigong and reminded, "My lord, let's go back to the yamen quickly." Leave the work to the little people. Yang Rusong was afraid that the assassin and his accomplices would assassinate Wu Shigong again.
Under the tugging of the guards, Wu Shigong returned to the garrison yamen. At this time, Wu Shigong also calmed down, and he immediately issued an order, first let the guards in the yamen guard the gate of Runing Mansion City, prohibit any people from entering or leaving, and then mobilize 500 soldiers from the camp to Runing Mansion City to carry out a big rope.
The assassination of the garrison of Runing Mansion in the early morning immediately attracted the attention of the Yamen of the Governor of Runing Mansion and the Yamen of the county where the city of Runing Mansion was located, and they immediately sent all the officials to help the soldiers that Wu Shigong had sent to the city to extort the Assassin's accomplices.
Those officials are all local snakes, so they quickly figured out Ma Jiu's identity and knew that Ma Jiu was a family worker. So next, under the guidance of the officials, Wu Shigong's soldiers began to arrest all the members of the fighting line where Ma Jiu was.
Of course, those members of the line have also been informed of Wu Shigong's assassination. However, because the city gate was blocked, those members of the army could only hide in the city of Runing Mansion. But under the guidance of those officials, they were also arrested by Wu Shigong's soldiers in the city.
Then, Wu Shigong was guarding the yamen and tortured these members of the beating line, but after mutilating a few people, those members of the beating line still couldn't say who instructed Ma Jiuxing to stab. It's just that there are a few members of the line who are good friends with Ma Jiu and know Ma Jiu's origins, and they confess that Ma Jiu has hatred for Wu Shigong because his wife was betrayed by Wu Shigong.
But Wu Shigong didn't believe in this reason for assassination at all. Wu Shigong has also been in Runing Mansion City for such a long time, and if Ma Jiu wants to take revenge, he will come to Wu Shigong a long time ago, and he will not wait until now. But looking at the appearance of those members of the fighting line, they really didn't know who instructed Ma Jiuxing to stab, so when they arrived in Zuihou, Wu Shigong no longer had patience, he was ruthless and ordered the soldiers to kill all those fighting members. Whether they are wronged or not, they will not let go of this mistake.
In fact, Wu Shigong already has the answer in his heart, because during this period of time, Wu Shigong only has a conflict with the Qi family, so Wu Shigong doesn't need evidence at all, and it is enough to have suspicions.
And Wu Shigong no longer cares about how his soldiers have done Runing Mansion City. He is going to arrange now, how to take revenge on the Qi family. Since the praying family wants their own lives, Wu Shigong also wants to pray for the lives of the family.
But before retaliating, Wu Shigong had to do one thing first, that is, to ensure the safety of his whole family. Wu Shigong called Foreman Jiang over and asked him to concentrate his manpower and build a yard for himself as quickly as possible in the Runing camp. And around the courtyard some houses were built for the families of military attachés.
Wu Shigong felt that it was too unsafe for him to live in the city of Runing Mansion. Not to mention the assassins, even the soldiers guarding the city gate in the city are not Wu Shigong's people, in case anyone is not good for them, they can't escape if they are trapped in the city.
Wu Shigong thought that after the yard was built, he would move his whole family in. And in the future, it will also allow the families of those military attaches to move to the houses of the big camp. With the protection of his own soldiers, Wu Shigong can also feel at ease.
Then, Wu Shigong arranged for Yang Rusong to learn how to protect his military attachés, so that this kind of assassin could assassinate him single-handedly would not happen again.
Then, Wu Shigong secretly called Xue Zhinong over and made detailed arrangements for Xue Zhinong. After Xue Zhinong accepted the arrangement, he immediately returned to the Shanchuan Division for general mobilization.
The assassination of Wu Shigong this time also caused a great sensation in Runing Mansion. However, after those officials sent people to Wu Shigong to offer some condolences, they didn't spend much effort to track down the main envoy behind Ma Jiu. Because they also thought that they had understood Ma Jiu's motive for the assassination, and thought that Wu Shigong had sold Ma Jiu's wife and caused hatred.
On the contrary, those gentry who were familiar with Wu Shigong came to visit Wu Shigong with gifts. However, Wu Shigong only accepted the gifts, and after a short meeting with the gentry, the meeting ended.
And this assassination, the biggest impact is Wu Shigong's wives. They are like frightened birds, and they refuse to let Wu Shigong go out casually. Even Wu Shigong's children were frightened by the dull atmosphere at home, and they looked at the faces of adults for several days in a row, not daring to be as lively as usual.
Wu Shigong had no choice but to stay at home and try to keep his family from worrying. Taking advantage of this opportunity to live at home for a long time, Wu Shigong simply took the manling into the house.
And on that day, after Wu Shigong took Manling into the room, Manling was a little drowsy because of overwork. In this confusion, Manling seemed to hear Wu Shigong muttering to himself: "They should have arrived in Yangzhou." ”
