Chapter 370: The Servant Girl Who Assassinated
The euphoric civilians finally dispersed under Liu Bian's persuasion of emotion and reason, but Liu Bian completely lost the interest of going to the prison to interrogate the two assassins in person.
To get from the county hall to the prison, you need to walk several streets, and if each street is as if you have just left the county hall, I am afraid that it will be close to dusk when you reach the prison door.
When the crowd flocked to Liu, many stalls in the market were kicked over by the crowd, and many goods were kicked all over the ground, and the street was a mess. As the crowd dispersed, the vendors were busy packing up their overturned stalls.
Leading a group of soldiers who were blocking the gate of the county government back to the mansion, Liu Wei had just entered the courtyard with his front foot, and said to the soldiers who followed behind him: "Please General Taishi to come here, this king is waiting for him in the front hall." ”
"No!" A soldier responded with a fist and turned back out of the main gate of the county government, while Liu Wei led several personal guards towards the front hall of the county government.
When they arrived at the door of the front hall, the guards who followed Liu Wei lined up on both sides and guarded the door, while Liu Wei raised his feet and stepped over the threshold and entered the hall.
Entering the front hall, Liu Wei was walking towards the main seat, and a maidservant girl held a tray in her hand and hired Tingting to follow up in the house.
Hearing the sound of small footsteps behind him, Liu Wei turned his head and glanced at the maid who followed him into the hall.
The maid was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and her figure was already grown, and her small appearance was also very delicate. The placket of her chest was slightly opener, and from the open collar revealed half of the white knoll and the deep groove between the two knolls.
Her fair skin was shining, and the skin on the two hillocks was much more delicate than the skin on her face.
Passing by Liu Bian, the maid held the tray in both hands, blessed Liu Bian, walked to the main seat in the hall, knelt on the ground, took out the tea from the tray, and placed it on the table.
With her back to Liu Wei, when the maid placed the tea, her buttocks were slightly low. Standing behind her, Liu Wei only felt that her two petals of clothes tightly wrapped around her hips were very toned, and the rounded arc was slightly different from the softness of ordinary women, highlighting a soft and rigid arc.
After placing the tea, the maid stood up, holding a corner of the tray with one hand, and put the other hand behind the tray, and slowly walked towards Liu Wei again.
While doing all this, the maidservant remained silent, not even a word, like a little mute who could not speak at all.
Looking at the maidservant, Liu Wei always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
It wasn't until the servant girl walked past him and blessed him again that Liu Wei suddenly woke up to the fact that the handmaid's hand behind the tray was very different from the posture of an ordinary maidservant holding the tray.
As soon as Liu Wei realized that something was wrong, there was a wind sound of "whew" in his ears, and the servant girl got up with a blessing to him, holding the tray in both hands, and smashed it on the top of his head.
The tray in the handmaiden's hand is made of solid wood, although she uses a lot of force, but it really hits the head, but it will not cause fatal injuries, at most it can only smash people's minds in a daze. Moreover, the stress area of the tray is very large, and it is impossible to cause particularly serious damage to the human body.
Between the lightning and flint, Liu Wei's first reaction was not to raise his hand to block the tray, but to turn his body to the side and tilt his head to avoid the tray that was thrown at his head.
The servant girl did not hit Liu Wei with a tray, and then let go of the hand holding the tray, and the tray wiped past Liu Wei's ear with a "whew" sound, and fell heavily on a court pillar not far behind Liu Wei, bounced a few times, and fell to the ground.
The moment the tray brushed by, a cold light immediately slashed towards Liu Wei's neck.
Liu Wei, who was retreating backwards, saw that the cold light was about to hit his neck, he twisted his body, his right foot did not retreat, but advanced, and his left foot stepped back, which avoids the sword light that slashed at his neck.
Smashing Liu Wei with a tray was originally a false move, and the maidservant only hoped that the sword stabbed in the follow-up would be able to achieve full success. But when she stabbed out with this sword, she didn't feel that the short sword pierced Liu Bian's heart, but she used too much force, and she didn't stand firm under her feet, and staggered forward and rushed forward two steps.
Just as she tried to stabilize her figure, an arm reached from the back of her neck, wrapped around her snow-white neck, and threw him to the ground with a sharp slam.
The neck was strangled, the maidservant didn't think about it, and at the moment when Liu Wei was about to press her body to the ground, the hand holding the sword suddenly retracted backwards, grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stabbed it hard towards her heart.
Liu Wei, who didn't expect the maid to act like this, saw a cold light piercing the maid's heart, and hurriedly flashed sideways to the side, watching the maid plunge the short sword into her own heart, and fell to the ground with her head.
The short sword pierced from the maid's front chest, revealing two or three inches long from the back, if Liu Wei hadn't let go in time just now, the half-cut short sword that was revealed would definitely have pierced into his body.
The failed assassination maid lay face down on the ground, and a patch of blood leaked out from under her, and soon the ground beneath her was red.
Hearing the movement in the house, the soldiers guarding the door hurriedly ran in, and when they entered the house, they saw only the corpse lying on the ground and Liu Wei, who had escaped.
"I'm late, Your Highness forgives me!" Seeing this scene, even if the soldiers were sluggish, they knew what had just happened, and a group of soldiers hurriedly knelt on the ground with their fists folded and confessed their guilt to Liu in unison.
"That's it!" Liu Wei waved his hand at the group of soldiers who were half-kneeling on the ground, frowned slightly, and strode over to the body of the servant girl.
The soldiers stood up, and two of them followed Liu Wei to the corpse, and bent down to lift the corpse with one head and one foot.
"Don't be busy!" Glancing at the two soldiers, and speaking out to stop them from trying to move the corpses, Liu Wei personally stretched out his hand and turned the body of the servant girl over.
The short sword was deeply pierced into the maid's heart, and the hilt of the sword had already touched her chest, which showed how much strength she used when she stabbed this sword.
The clothes on her chest were already soaked with blood, and when Liu Wei turned her body over, she could still smell a strong smell of blood.
"Your Highness......" Liu Wei was inspecting the corpse, and Tai Shici's voice came from behind him.
He glanced back behind him, and saw that Tai Shici had already entered the hall and was walking quickly towards him.
"Ziyi, look!" When Tai Shi Ci walked to his side, he just hugged his fists and bowed to him, and before he could make a confession, Liu Wei ripped open the placket on the servant's chest, pointed to her two tall twin peaks, and said to Tai Shi Ci: "This woman has strong muscles, she is obviously trained, I am afraid that she is a full-time assassin!" ”
The corpse's clothes were lifted, and two twin peaks covered with blood appeared in front of Tai Shici's eyes, and on one of the breast peaks, there was also the short sword that killed her, and the blood was slowly flowing out along the sword body.
Squatting down, reaching out and pinching one of the blood-stained hillocks, Tai Shici's brows furrowed slightly, looked up at Liu Wei who was squatting aside, and said to him: "Your Highness, this woman is not from the Central Plains......
"How so?" Tai Shi Ci just touched one of the breasts of the corpse, and concluded that she was not from the Central Plains, Liu Wei looked up at him blankly, and asked him a question.
"The skin and flesh are very porcelain, and although they are rubbed with fat powder, they can also see that the skin on the face is slightly rough." Turning his head to look at the corpse that was turned over by Liu Bian, Tai Shici said to Liu Bian: "But the skin on her body is very delicate, and most of the people with such a physique are born in the Wuhuan area. It's just the woman's appearance...... But it doesn't look like a Wuhuan person! ”
"Ziyi knows Wuhuan quite well." First met the Huns in Hongnong County, and was assassinated by the people from Wuhuan, which made Liu Wei very depressed, but he didn't show this depression on his face, but just nodded indifferently.
Liu Wei's words were very unintentional, but Tai Shici heard it in his ears, but it had a different taste. He hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Royal Highness Qiqi, the last general fled to the north in his early years, and he also had a ...... with Wuhuan women."
"Good thing!" Without waiting for Tai Shici to finish speaking, Liu Wei waved his hand, signaled him not to continue, stood up, and said to him: "Male husband, it is reasonable to thank you for the affair. This king has invited Ziyi to come because he has something important to discuss......"
Just as he was talking to Tai Shici, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door of the main hall, and when he heard that Liu Wei had encountered an assassin, Pang Tong, Guan Qing, Guan Hai, and Duan Xuan all hurried over.
After entering the main hall and seeing that Liu Wei was unharmed, everyone was relieved and greeted Liu Wei with Qiqi.
Seeing that Pang Tong and the others also came to the main hall, Liu Wei waved his hand at a group of soldiers who were still standing in the hall and said to them: "You go down!" ”
"No!" The soldiers responded with their fists in unison, and did not lift the corpses in the hall, and withdrew from the main hall one after another, and the last soldier to withdraw from the hall did not forget to close the door casually.
"Fang Cai Ziyi said that this woman is not from the Central Plains!" When the soldiers withdrew from the main hall, Liu Wei looked at the corpses on the ground and said to Pang Tong and the others: "If she really came from Wuhuan, I'm afraid that this king wants to take a break from the sword soldiers, but she can't get it!" ”
"Wuhuan is at the mercy of Liu Yu!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, Pang Tong frowned slightly, and said to him: "At present, Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu are attacking each other, Liu Yu is weak, and I think that Wuhuan must be secretly colluding with Gongsun Chan in order to protect himself." It's just that assassinating His Highness so rashly is really a bit confusing......"
"What does the advisor think ......?" As soon as Pang Tong's words fell, Liu Wei turned his head to look at him and asked him, "Could it be that the military advisor thinks that this woman is not sent by Wu Huan." ”
"It's just a matter of grafting flowers and grafting trees, and blaming others!" Pang Tong first glanced at the corpse, then smiled slightly, and said to Liu Wei: "Earlier, Ziyi had a big trouble with Zilong and others in Jizhou, how shrewd Gongsun Zhan was, how could he not know that Ziyi had already served His Highness?" Ziyi has lived in the north for several years, and has some dealings with Wuhuan, so you can see the difference between the woman born in Wuhuan and the Central Plains......"
"What a vicious strategy!" Without waiting for Pang Tong to finish speaking, Liu Wei clenched his fists tightly and said to Pang Tong and the others: "Gongsun Chan has repeatedly tried to deal with this king, and this king can't bear it......"
"Your Highness shall not be angry!" As soon as Liu Wei's words came out, Pang Tong hurriedly stopped what he was going to say, clenched his fists and bowed to him and said, "Right now, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are fighting, and Yuan Shao is watching from the side. When Liu Yu is broken by Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao will definitely march eastward, if His Royal Highness uses troops too early, I am afraid that Gongsun Chan has not yet broken through, Luoyang has become an empty city, violent in front of the heroes! ”
