Chapter 78: The Assassination of the Prince
Because the difference between the rich and the poor is too great, there are naturally many homeless people and beggars on the streets of Luoyi. Although there are countless city managers on the streets of Luoyi, these homeless people and beggars are not allowed to exist, but once these city managers leave, the disguised beggars reappear.
Since most of the people who come to Luoyi are envoys sent by the princes of various countries, as well as merchants and wealthy people from all over the country, so! If the beggar is lucky, the income is quite good. Of course! If you are unlucky, not only will you not be able to get money, but you may also be beaten. Even! They will also be sent to the street law enforcement brigade, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
In the designated area of the street, there are many street performers. These people are high-level beggars and have legal status. But! They do need to have a unique skill in order to get the reward of the onlookers.
"One more! One more! ”
Far away! You can hear the cheers of a teenager.
At the same time as this sound, there was a cacophony of sounds.
Not far ahead, there were many people around. In the crowd, there were a few people performing a show. Everywhere there is a wonderful place, there will be people cheering. At the same time, some people will throw silver into it, and some people will throw silver at the artist's body.
Fang Jishi had nothing to do, and when he saw that it was very lively, he came over.
He knows! Especially this kind of place, the most chaotic. Thieves and people of all kinds of purposes are mixed in, looking for targets.
Really! Before they could get closer, two thieves cooperated with each other, one thief and the stolen object laughed to divert each other's attention, and the other thief took the opportunity to reach into the other's pocket and fumbled around.
The clothing of the Spring and Autumn period was loose, especially the coat. As long as you pay attention to your hand in it, others don't know about it.
But! It's a pity that the other party's pockets are empty.
The two thieves looked at each other, and then changed objects. The one who played the cover didn't pay attention to the other party anymore.
Nima Di! Pauper! The two of them didn't steal the silver, and they probably had to curse in their hearts.
Fang Jishi pretended not to see it, and looked into the field from a place where there were few people. Saw! In the venue are several jugglers, that is, acrobatics in modern society.
A little girl about eleven or twelve years old was practicing soft body skills, rolling herself up and rolling on the ground. The little girl has begun to develop, and there are two small bumps on her breasts, which are very attractive to everyone's attention under the wrapping of tight clothing.
But! Under the cheers, many people also scolded "humiliating and moralizing". It is considered that this practice is inappropriate and violates Zhou etiquette.
Just like in modern society, celebrities do not hesitate to expose certain parts of their bodies in order to increase their popularity. The more exposed, the more bold you are, the more famous you become.
So! This line of performance on the street can attract the attention of many people, and the rewards are naturally in waves.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old rich boy dressed in silk shouted and aimed at the little bump on the little girl's body with broken silver, throwing it at it from time to time. Unfortunately! Every time she threw it, she was cleverly dodged by the little girl.
"One more! One more! One more! ……”
The young man was naturally unwilling and continued to ask. But? The little girl, under the command of the commander, belatedly stopped repeating.
At this moment, a tall crowd of onlookers in the crowd crowded around the young man, suddenly pulled out a sharp knife from his arms, and stabbed the unsuspecting young man.
"Protect the Prince!"
"There are assassins! Protect the Prince! ”
At this critical moment, two large hands reached out from behind the tall assassin and pulled him away.
"Prince! Dangerous! ”
"Prince! Come on! ”
At this moment, the shouts of several tall middle-aged people in plain clothes came from the periphery. The men looked panicked and shouted as they went on a rampage.
The two middle-aged men in civilian clothes, who pulled the assassin apart, immediately engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the assassin. One side will continue to search for the thorn, and the other side will stop it.
The young man named "Prince" didn't care at first, but when he saw the tall middle-aged man stabbing again, he panicked.
Under the fight of the three of them, the crowd of onlookers around them dispersed like ghosts and wolves. There was a woman who ran slowly, was pushed to the ground, and then stepped on. The woman cried instinctively, and was so frightened that she urinated all over the ground.
Other than that! There was also a child who was separated from the adult, and he was also mixed in with the cracks and cried: "Daddy! Father! Father! Woowoo woo ......"
Fang Jishi was standing on the side, and he didn't find it strange that the sudden change in the scene occurred. In this case, anything can happen. When a thief steals someone else's stuff is discovered, it's easy to get into a fight. And also! Crowding each other can also easily lead to quarrels and fights. And also! Onlookers are fighting with each other or are jealous, which can easily lead to quarrels and fights......
But he didn't expect that on this occasion, he could still meet the "prince"?
Prince? Is it the crown prince of the Great Zhou Tianzi family? Still is? Which princely kingdom is the crown prince?
Here in Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it is also possible that the princes of the vassal states appeared.
But when he saw that young man, Fang Jishi was suspicious? It is very likely that this prince is the crown prince of the Great Zhou Tianzi family. Because! He was too young.
If you are the crown prince of a vassal state, you should stay in your prince's palace and receive education at this age. They are generally protected and have little contact with the outside world. Only the crown prince of the Great Zhou Tianzi family could sneak out of the palace and run to the street to see the excitement.
So! Fang Jishi not only did not dodge, but also leaned forward.
I thought: If it was the crown prince of the Great Zhou Tianzi family, it would be great! rescued him today, and tomorrow he may be received by the faint monarch named King Zhou Jing of the Great Zhou Tianzi.
Hey! Good luck! If you meet the prince of Da Zhou, then! It is not far from the day of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes".
A middle-aged guard in plain black clothes came to the young prince's side, grabbed the young prince, and shouted in a low voice: "Follow me!" ”
Instinctively reacting, the young prince didn't think much about it, spread his legs and followed the middle-aged casual clothes, squeezing into the crowd.
On the outside of the crowd, the plainclothes guards who had just come over chased after them while shouting. Unfortunately, the scene was too chaotic to get here. Just as he was about to get close to the target, he was stopped. A group of unidentified people crowded over and fought with them.
The two guards who had rushed over to save the young prince were fighting against the assassins, and they couldn't take care of the prince anymore.
Glancing at the scene, Fang Jishi chased towards the young prince without thinking.
He had a hunch that it was a premeditated murder. And the person who rescued the young prince was not a guard, but the one who assassinated the prince.
As for why he didn't stab the prince to death on the spot, but wanted to save the prince? Fang Jishi thought: Maybe the other party has another purpose. Maybe? It's so that I can get out smoothly.
It's not that the dead usually assassinate when they ensure their own safety.
Assassination can be successful, but if you can't guarantee your own survival, you are not a good assassin. Even! also exposed his identity and the mastermind behind the scenes, then he is not a qualified assassin.
