The eldest lord was assassinated on the canal waterway!

This astonishing news spread like the wind throughout Tongzhou.

It's just that the officials and people of Tongzhou are not surprised at all, the eldest master has offended the Cao Gang ruthlessly, and it is a matter of time before he is retaliated.

However, others have other opinions, and it is unlikely that this incident was done by the Cao Gang.

The sneak attack and counter-killing on the canal waterway can be clearly seen by the close ship personnel, and the assassin actually attracted the attention of the old man by colliding with the ship on the canal, and then suddenly carried out a sneak attack, which is inconsistent with the Cao Gang's style of acting.

The canal is the economic artery of the Cao Gang, no matter how much the Cao Gang hates the big man, it is impossible to do it on the canal, which is likely to cause a strong backlash from the imperial court, and even affect the normal operation of the canal.

Not to mention, the sinking of the two large cargo ships that attracted attention caused the blockage of the Tongzhou section of the canal, and the large ships could not pass normally at all, so the economic losses caused were not small.

With the efficiency of the canal yamen, when the two sunken ships can be scooped up can really only depend on how high the enthusiasm of the officers and men of the canal yamen is.

If the shipowners who have suffered a lot of losses know that it is the Cao Gang that has caused their heavy losses, the fun will really be great.

Although I don't know how the Great Master overturned all those assassins, all the spectators who witnessed how those assassins were arrested would definitely not be the Great Master's martial arts.

Rumors arose in the Tongzhou area, causing a national discussion to be lively, but the eldest man sat firmly in the Diaoyutai, as if there had been no assassination.

Of course, this will not be the case, the assassins who were imprisoned in the state government prison have received a lot of 'care' since they moved here, and they have enjoyed the wonderful taste of various torture instruments in the prison.

To the dismay of the Assassins, the fierce and vicious jailers did not say anything about their actions, and did not even torture them for a confession, as if they were just joking.

Nima, don't be so unruly!

The rules of fart, the eldest lord came to the prison from time to time to wander around, watched the wonderful execution performances of the jailers a few times with relish, and watched the assassins being put to death is really indescribably comfortable.

Ya, I just don't want to confess, I just want to watch you be tossed to death!

That is, the day after the eldest master was assassinated in the canal, the Shuntian Mansion sent nearly 200 men and horses, and with the cooperation of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, they directly killed the Bentongzhou and took away the captured assassins.

"These hot potatoes are finally gone, and the next thing has nothing to do with us!"

Looking at the mighty team leaving, the eldest lord instructed the officials of the state government: "Collect your heart, what to do, what to do, there are some things that are not even good for the official to participate, don't be too curious, it won't be good for you!" ”

The officials of the state government looked at each other, and finally dispersed and went their own way.

Lord Zhizhou is right, these assassins used military weapons such as bows and arrows, and in a place like Tongzhou, the capital would not be invincible at all, how could such a major event be able to participate in a state official like them?

The matter seems to have passed like this, and the Tongzhou Prefecture has returned to its previous appearance, but the patrols of the surrounding officials and officials have been strengthened, and as time passes, it seems that the matter has really been revealed.

The eldest lord knew that of course things would not be so simple, and the battle in the capital was the key.

Just like the killer village that exterminated the Tongzhou territory before, the nature of this incident is even worse, the blatant assassination of the imperial court officials, if you can turn a blind eye now, I am afraid that it will not be long before the dragon chair under the ass will change hands.

Are you kidding!

In Tongzhou, the gateway to Gyeonggi, nearly 100 archers suddenly appeared to attack and kill the imperial court officials, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have stabbed a big hole in the sky.

Who are the nearly 100 archers?

And where are they trained?

Where did the bow and arrow come from in the army with nearly 100 bodies?

Every question touches the sensitive minds of today.

If it is not good to investigate, and hit the ambitions of some people hard, I am afraid that one day they will have the courage to ambush them directly in Beijing!

Don't think that as an emperor now, there is no chance to ambush in the open.

There is a fixed day every year, and today you have to lead hundreds of civil and military officials to worship the sky, if you ambush thousands of archers halfway, you feel terrifying when you think about it.

Check and check, be sure to check clearly, and find out!

Hey, how does this sound so familiar?

……

Lai Da returned to the capital, but he didn't have time to return home to rest, so he rushed to Rongguo's mansion to report to the old lady as soon as possible.

"Lai Da is back, why didn't he pick it up for the spring?"

When Jia Mu saw Lai Da coming back alone, her face sank and she was dissatisfied: "Didn't you tell you to bring Yingchun back?" ”

"Old lady, my grandson hasn't seen Sister Yingchun for a long time!"

Next to him, the little man with pink carving and jade carving sat next to Jia's mother, and when he heard Jia's mother's words, he immediately opened his mouth to be coquettish.

"Good Baoyu, grandmother will soon get the Spring Festival girl back, is it okay to play with Good Baoyu?"

Mother Jia's face was full of tenderness and love, and she was happy when she hugged the little person around her.

"Okay, okay, I can meet Sister Yingchun, I want to play with Sister Yingchun!"

The little man Baoyu patted his fat little hands, and his little face was full of happy smiles.

Don't mention the bitterness in Lai Da's heart, even if he gives him ten dares, he doesn't dare to blow up the thorns in front of the eldest master, do you think you are impatient?

He witnessed the whole process of the old man being attacked in the canal, and finally the sneak attacker was beaten by the big man. Although he didn't know what was going on underwater, it was not difficult to guess that it was all the work of the old man.

I shudder to think about the fantasy scene where the two big ships sank directly and dozens of assassins were thrown from the water to the shore like idle fish.

"Old lady, the eldest master was assassinated just now, and it's really not good to disturb me too much right now!"

With a roll of his eyes, Lai Da immediately thought of a good excuse to shirk, he really didn't want to see the eldest master anymore, he really couldn't stand that kind of stimulation.

"What's wrong with the boss?"

Jia Mu's eyes were invested, and she said angrily: "Tell him not to toss around, but he doesn't listen, he will move the interests of others and be counterattacked, look at your appearance, the boss should be fine, just go over and take the Spring Festival girl back to the house, it's too dangerous to follow the boss!" ”

Lai was stunned, and the dung basket roared in his heart, this is really the eldest master's mother in front of him?

Even if he is the old lady's hardcore, he still feels worthless for the eldest lord at this time, no wonder the eldest lord is not happy to go home, who will not be happy when he meets such a mother.

"Old lady Mingjian, there should be martial law over there in Tongzhou, and the eldest master will not let go easily in a short period of time!"

Feeling that he had lifted a stone and hit his own foot, Lai Da hurriedly said in a depressed mood: "When the little one returns to Beijing." The eldest man told the little one to remind the old lady that the capital may not be peaceful recently, so it is best to close the door and not go out at will! ”

"Hmph, what does the boss know?"

Jia Mu sneered disdainfully, and said dissatisfiedly: "The second child doesn't know when he will be able to return to the Ministry of Industry, now is the time for activities, what does the boss and a foreign official know?" ”

Lai Da was speechless, and said in his heart, old lady, how far is Tongzhou from the capital, and do you know how amazing the lineup to assassinate the eldest master is?

If the imperial court didn't move, wouldn't it chill the hearts of meritorious soldiers?

It's just that he can't say this, so he can only listen to the old lady's instructions silently, and whether he can do it or not is another matter.

"Mother!"

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, this is not bad before he left, the second master walked in, and after giving the salute, he found a chair and sat down.

"The second child is here, if you have anything to ask Lai Da, just ask it directly!"

How did Mother Jia not know her youngest son's thoughts, so she pointed it out directly, so as not to let the youngest son speak in the way of face, what's the big deal?

"Second master, if you have any doubts, just ask, as long as you know it, you will definitely not hide it!"

Lai Da knew it in his heart, and said to the second master of Zheng, but he was a little disdainful in his heart.

"This, I heard that Lai Da you came back from Tongzhou just now, big brother, how are you?"

The second master of politics is naturally not interested in knowing whether the eldest master is doing well or not, but the words have changed when they reach his mouth, and he is very embarrassed in his heart.

"Okay, my lord is fine!"

Seeing this, Lai Da also pretended to be confused, and said with a smile: "The little one has been in Tongzhou for a few days, and the businessmen in the market have a very good impression of the big man, and they all say that the big man is a good official!" ”

Hmph, what a good official, but just a greedy and lustful old man who doesn't learn and has no skills!

Jia Zheng's face was a little bad, and he coughed lightly and laughed; "It's so good, but I don't know where the canal dredging project in Tongzhou has been going?"

It's a matter of official career, and the second master of politics didn't have the heart to continue to be wordy, and finally showed his fox tail.

Lai Da was even more disdainful in his heart, didn't he just want to ask the eldest master how he handled the project of dredging the canal for you, and asked directly, why bother to beat around the bush and pretend?

Lai Da was silent in his heart, and replied respectfully: "The old man has started the canal dredging project, and the progress is okay, but it can only be a little troublesome to construct at night, and it is estimated that the project can be completed in two or three months!" ”

Two or three months left?

Jia Zheng didn't have an immobile look on his face, but he was quite unhappy in his heart.

According to his idea, the eldest lord should rush to work day and night to complete the canal dredging project in the fastest time, so that he can return to the imperial court and return to the yamen of the Ministry of Works to continue his errand.

But now, the old man is only working every night, and the process is too slow.

"What's going on with this boss!"

Jia Mu and the second master Zheng's brainwaves are obviously in the same frequency band, and after listening to Lai Da's words, they are also quite dissatisfied, and said directly: "No, the canal dredging on the boss's side has not been completed, and the second brother has not been able to go to the office, so we must urge the boss to speed up the progress, don't delay the future of the second child!" ”
