Chapter 614: The Growth of the City Lord (3)

There is no doubt that these family members are infiltrated by the enemy's undercover agents. After learning that Li Wanru was trying to use violence against Xiweituo, the enemy decided to preemptively assassinate Li Wanru.

With their family background operating here for several years, it is not difficult to find a few people who are willing to work hard. However, Luo Han had already been prepared, he was not a stunned young man like Li Wanru, and he took it for granted that the people he recruited were all serious. Since Xiweituo is on guard against Li Wanru, he will inevitably monitor her movements, she recruits people like this, and if she doesn't send a few spies, there will be ghosts. Of course, Luo Han didn't expect that Xiweituo's handwriting was a bit big, and he actually sent more than a dozen. Fortunately, these people have not undergone professional training, and they all exposed their stuffing after trying it, Luo Han turned around and killed in this ** fine, grabbed a short knife, and opened the killing ring, and in a few breaths, he fell down.

In the end, Luo Han put the knife on the neck of the assassin who shot at the beginning, and said, "Say, who sent you?" ”

The Assassin had already lost his soul when he saw Luo Han fighting with a dozen enemies, and saw more than a dozen of his companions wailing and struggling on the ground. He is not even a dead man, where can he have any generosity to die? Tremblingly, he said, "Yes...... Be...... Be...... West...... Sivedore ...... Big...... People ......"

Luo Han kicked it away, looked around with a short knife dripping with blood, and shouted: "Xiweituo is a great rebel, he dares to plant an assassin and assassinate the city lord in the street, his crime should be punished!" All the folks and elders present are witnesses, sons, what do you say? ”

At this time, the spirit of the family who reacted shouted loudly: "Kill Siveda!" Kill Sivedore! ”

The rest of the family were still hesitating, but they were swept by Luo Hansen's cold gaze, and suddenly a spirit shouted: "Kill Xiweituo!" Kill Sivedore......"

Li Wan also came back to her senses at this time, thought about her words, and said loudly: "Xiweituo is too deceitful, come here, escort these bold assassins back to the mansion to wait for the fate, and the rest of the people will go with the city lord to ask for an explanation!" ”

A few family members who didn't dare to kill people hurriedly lined up and escorted the assassins who were injured by Luo Han but did not die.

Li Wanru led the rest of the people to walk a few steps, and suddenly stopped and said to Luo Han: "Teacher, Xiweituo sent someone to assassinate me on the street, this should be regarded as a rebellion." Could you please inform the garrison outside the city and enter the city to help me put down the rebellion? ”

Luo Han smiled and said, "But although the assassin was caught, there is no direct evidence that it was instigated by Siveda. ”

Li Wanru suddenly felt deflated and was about to give up, but when she saw Luo Han's expression, she mustered up the courage in her heart and said: "Since someone admits that it was Siveda who instigated it, then Everita is suspicious." As the lord of the city, I have the right to arrest him first, and if it is not him, I will give him justice. ”

Luo Han nodded: "You have enlightened." Stay safe, don't be impulsive, and wait for me to come back. ”

Luo Han left the group and walked towards the city gate. Li Wanru breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "I was almost deceived by you, but fortunately, the city lord Bing Xue is smart." ”

Luo Han's journey out of the city was not all smooth sailing, otherwise he wouldn't need to go there himself. Assassination and interception are indispensable, and there are even poor pretends, hoping to delay him, but he has no choice but to hastily arrange it with loopholes, where can he deceive Luo Han?

Li Wanru here, led the people towards the mansion of Xiweituo in a hurry, and many bored and curious people had already expected that there would be a good show, and many people followed, making the team even more powerful.

When they arrived at a street in front of the Xivedore Mansion, Li Wanru suddenly raised her hand and said, "Stop." ”

When the team stopped, Li Wanru thought about taking off the money bag at her waist, turned the money bag upside down, and a bunch of gold coins fell into her palm, and even rolled to the ground. The golden brilliance attracted the attention of the people, and the sound of local gold coins striking made everyone take their breath away.

"Folks, I am Li Wanru, the lord of Tang City, and I was young in the past, so I entrusted the affairs of Tang City to Xi Weituo and others. I don't want this person to rely on the autonomy of Tang City, no one to supervise, and do mischief, and now he is trying to assassinate the city lord, and his crime should be punished. Later, if there is a conflict, those who fight to kill the thieves with the lord of the city will be rewarded. If he can capture Sivetos, he will have a bounty of twenty coins, and the rest of the party will have their own price according to their status. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately boiled. In the White Lion Country, one gold coin is almost equivalent to a month's income of a strong laborer, and even a soldier who needs to work his life is generally only two or three gold coins a month. Looking at the gold coins that Li Wanru poured out of the money bag, there are more than a hundred of them, and many people have never seen so many gold coins in their lives, how can they not be enthusiastic.

Li Wanru showed off her wealth, then threw the gold coin in her heart into the money bag, and then threw the money bag to a family next to her and said, "Clean it up." He stopped talking, and seemed to not care about the gold coins, and his momentum was not weak at all.

The family hurriedly went down, picked up the gold coins scattered on the ground, put them back in the money bag, and returned them to Li Wanru, but Li Wanru didn't even look at them, waved his hand and said: "You take it for me, don't worry, follow the city lord to work hard, or you will have so many gold coins in two years." ”

The breath of the family members became short, and the girl in front of her, but the city lord, since she said so, she must not be lying. At this time, they only hoped that Li Wanru would quickly give the order to rush across the street and beat those officials down one by one. At this moment, in their eyes, what is sitting in the mansion of Sivedore is not a formidable official, but a little golden man who will shine with gold.

After waiting for a while, there was a sudden sound of horses whistling in the distance, and the corners of Li Wanru's mouth showed a trace of arc like a crescent moon, and she raised her right hand and said, "Let's go!" ”

The mansion of Sivedore is full of people, but the atmosphere is a little deserted. In the past, banquets were held, and even if the merchants were reluctant, they would come with generous gifts and smiles. But today, except for some guests who came early, sitting around and whispering, everyone else seemed to have gotten the news and did not come. But Sivedore and the others didn't have the heart to care about them anymore.

More than a dozen high-ranking officials in Tang City gathered in the backyard to discuss things. One said, "My lord, do you really want to do this?" This is a felony of murder, and if the matter is revealed, none of us will be able to escape. After all, we just embezzled a little money, and the crime is not to death, so there is no need to do such a desperate thing, right? ”

Sivedore said with a cold face: "A little bit of corruption? Which one of you doesn't have mountains of gold and jewelry in your home? In recent years, most of the income of merchants in Tangcheng has been in our hands. Now you, all of you are richer than that girl city lord, once that little girl is in power, the first thing is definitely to let us spit out what we eat. I ask you, are you willing to give away this money? ”

Everyone was silent, not all of them were greedy from the beginning, some of them were forced to go along with Sivedore in the face of the reality of Tang City, but once they tasted the sweetness of money, and wanted them to spit it out, it would be as painful as cutting meat. What's more, as the master of Tang City, if Li Wan killed a few corrupt officials, no one would dare to say anything, and in this regard, their lives were not guaranteed.

Sivedore continued: "The previous Assassins have failed, and although I have come forward, you have a part in it. By this time, there was no other way but to go all the way to the dark. If someone dares to back down at this time, it's a big deal that I have one more life on my back, it's not a big deal. ”

One said: "I have no problem with killing that little girl." But after all, she is the king's own city lord, and she died without knowing it, and the king will definitely send someone to investigate. ”

Sivedore said: "Don't worry, the person I am looking for is the remnant of the previous dynasty. As long as our people are killed as soon as possible after the deed is accomplished, not only will we not be blamed, but we will also be given the name of meritorious service in counterinsurgency. So Mula, the people on your side must be ready and do what they are told, and they can't go out in advance or later. ”

One person nodded: "I have already arranged my cronies and assembled the city guards in the name of the exercise, and as soon as they start here, they will set off, and they will 'chance' bump into the fleeing thieves, and they can't help but kill them." ”

Sivedore nodded: "Colleagues, we all have a part in this matter, and you know what to say when we track it down afterwards." ”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the mansion, and Sivedore frowned and said, "Let's go, go and see the demeanor of our city lord." ”

Li Wanru stood outside the mansion with people and did not enter. She followed Luo Han's reminder and was reluctant to step into other people's territory. Dozens of family members stood behind her, trying to make a fierce gesture to embolden themselves.

Finally, Siveta led a dozen officials into the front yard, and walked up step by step, with a rather respectful attitude. When they arrived at the door, everyone said in unison: "Welcome to the city lord." ”

Li Wanru said coldly: "Welcome? I don't think you welcome the lord of this city. Lord Sivedore took a concubine and invited all the merchants in the city, but he did not send an invitation to the lord of the city, is he afraid that the lord of the city will spoil your good deeds? ”

Sivedore smiled and said: "The city lord has misunderstood, the lower official just thinks that the city lord must be tired after a long journey, and he dare not disturb the city lord to rest because of this little thing." I knew that the city lord cared so much about his subordinates, and the lower officials would definitely come to invite him. Now that the lord of the castle is here, please come to the palace and take a seat. Come on, sound the gong and open the way! ”

The left and right families picked up the gong and struck it heavily. The crisp sound of the gong spread far away, and Li Wanru suddenly knew that something was wrong, and shouted: "Be careful!" ”

It's a pity that it's still late, and dozens of bows and arrows were turned out from the street next to them, aiming at Li Wanru is a salvo. Li Wanru's eyes were quick, and she shrank into the crowd, and these arrows with insufficient accuracy fell on the families and onlookers who did not react, and they screamed for a while, and the ghosts cried wolves.

"Long live the Kingdom of Meru!" A man with a white cloth on his face jumped out and shouted loudly, and with a wave of his hand, all his subordinates took arrows and bows again, aiming at Li Wanru in the crowd.

Li Wanru was terrified, in front of the bow and arrow, the family without armor had to be slaughtered. Seeing that another round of arrow rain was coming, Li Wanru had to raise her throat and shout: "If you don't want to die, rush into the yard!" ”

Everyone came to their senses and rushed towards the gate.

Seeing this, the Sivedos sneered and retreated into the courtyard, and the family did not hesitate to close the door.

Seeing this, Li Wanru said angrily: "Xiweituo! You don't have to die well! ”

At this moment, the second wave of arrow rain had already hit, and five or six arrows were deliberately or coincidentally, which just sealed the space where Li Wanru was dodging, and she was about to die.

Li Wanru bit her lip, at this time she could only lie on the ground as fast as she could, holding her head in both hands, striving for a glimmer of life.

"Whoosh!" A sharp arrow swept over Li Wanru's head, shot at the bluestone slab not far away, and bounced out.

Li Wanru looked up, but saw that the masked man was holding a longbow, the arrow was facing her head, and the bowstring had been pulled to the maximum.

"Are you going to die? It seems that I am still too careless and naΓ―ve. ”

The masked man let go of the tail of the arrow, and the arrow quickly enlarged in Li Wanru's eyes. Li Wanru closed her eyes, ready to meet death.

However, she certainly won't die. There was a shout of killing behind him, accompanied by a more dense sound of arrows breaking through the air, Li Wanru opened her eyes, only to see a lone arrow falling to the ground a foot in front of her, followed by scattered wood chips. With her knowledge of physics, she can't restore what happened, she only knows that the ones who can do this kind of thing must be her own teacher, her own Engong, and her own Brother Han.

Luo Han raised the long sword in his hand and said loudly: "An Guogong is here!" Death to the traitor! ”

A silver-armored general said in a loud voice: "General Anwei Jin Xiang, I am ordered to beg for thieves!" Soldiers! Kill! ”

At this point, the dust has fallen. Luo Han had brought a full five hundred regular soldiers, how could these improvised rabble be able to fight against? Soon, Jin Xiang cleared the chaos brought by the masked man and surrounded the mansion of Sivedo.
