Chapter 184: A Critical Moment
After Li Jianwen was kidnapped by Xiao Rui, Li Tang, the assassin of Yangzhou, was anxious and ordered people to block the four gates and prohibit the people from going out, and then let the yamen's arresters, government servants, guards in the house, and servants all be dispatched, as well as local unity soldiers, and even, let the thousands of households of Jiang Duwei, who guarded Yangzhou, send soldiers to search the whole city.
It's a pity that they searched for a day, but they didn't find Li Jianwen. The five guards and the jade family also woke up, learned from their mouths the faces of Wu Zhanfa, and also drew portraits, but how difficult it was to find someone in the huge Yangzhou City. What's more, Xiao Rui has already let Wu Zhanfa hide.
How to kill Li Jianwen in front of everyone, Xiao Rui needs to think about it.
The first thing to understand is what is in plain sight.
Everyone's eyes are on the eyes, everyone's eyes are wide open, and killing Li Jianwen, who has done a lot of evil, in front of them can be regarded as completing the task.
If it weren't for the system's emphasis on these four words, Xiao Rui would have asked Wu Zhanfa to execute Li Jianwen in the Xiaoyao Pavilion, after all, there were many people sitting in the hall of the Xiaoyao Pavilion. But those 120 people do not constitute the masses.
The places that can make Xiao Rui think of the vast number of people are the lively Fang Market, and the crowded city gate. These two places are crowded, and executing Li Jianwen there will definitely be able to complete the task.
But if he chooses the lively Fang City, Xiao Rui feels that escaping has become a problem, and he will be surrounded if he is not careful, and it is very difficult to escape from the city, after all, Li Yuanfang is still injured.
Therefore, the gate of the city is a good place chosen by Xiao Rui, which is also the reason why Xiao Rui deliberately delays time, because Li Tang will inevitably dispatch all his forces in order to rescue his son, Jiang Duwei is responsible for the safety of Yangzhou City and the surrounding areas, although he does not have to obey Li Tang's orders, but obeys the orders of the Chinese military governor's mansion, but Li Tang is the Li family, and his nephew is King Jing, the eighth prince, and Jiang Duwei Qianhu will definitely help.
When the time comes, everyone's attention will be on searching the city, and the situation on the castle tower will be poorly guarded.
Xiao Rui asked Zhuge Yuanba to go to the prefect's house, and found that after the Yangzhou prefect woke up, he didn't dare to publicize the assassin's attack last night. So he hastily handled the death certificate and announcement for Li Yuanfang, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard that Li Jianwen had been kidnapped by the assassins, so he was busy searching for Li Jianwen again.
Since the Yangzhou prefect is silent, the token obtained from him can be used.
At night, Zhuge Yuanba brought two prefect yamen's fast clothes, he and Xiao Rui changed their clothes, and the two carried a big wooden box to the river, and put Li Jianwen, who was still asleep, into the box. After locking it, Xiao Rui found two men and walked towards Ximen City with the box.
When he came to the West City Gate, he was naturally stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
"Lord Qianhu and Lord Thorn Shi have an order to seal the city gate and prohibit anyone from going out!" The soldier saw that Xiao Rui and Wu Zhanfa were dressed up quickly, and they were also colleagues, so they naturally didn't feel embarrassed, but just reminded them.
Xiao Rui took out the token of the Yangzhou prefect, handed it over, and said: "We don't go out of the city, it was the prefect who ordered us to send this box to the city tower, saying that it would be of great use tomorrow, and it was arranged by Lord Assassin Shi." Please let me know. ”
The soldier took the token and hurriedly went up to the castle tower to report.
Responsible for guarding the city in Xicheng is a Jiangdu Wei Baihu, such an important state capital like Yangzhou City, the Chinese military governor's office will set up a special guard to guard. Each chief of the guard is a commander, and there are five thousand households under his command, and there are ten hundred households under the thousand households, with more than 100 people per 100 households.
Jiang Duwei's thousand households Shi Xianxin was responsible for guarding Yangzhou City, and Li Tang asked for his help, so he naturally arranged for his hundred households to block the city gate.
When the hundred households heard that the Lord Assassin Shi had sent someone to come, he immediately went down to the city tower.
"I was ordered by Lord Shi and Lord Prefect to send this box to the city tower, saying that it would be beneficial to search for Li Gongzi tomorrow." Xiao Rui bowed his head slightly and smiled.
Baihu returned the token to Xiao Rui, the sky was too dark, even if he lit the lantern, he could only vaguely see Xiao Rui's face, but he did not doubt it, but said with a smile: "Since it was arranged by Lord Thorn Shi, then you come with me." ”
It's so late, this hundred households will not go to verify the authenticity, one is that he is not familiar with the Lord of the Thorn History, it is impossible to take the liberty of bothering, and the other is that this kind of thing is commonplace, although the Jiangdu Wei Qianhu where they are located is responsible for the security of the Yangzhou City Tower, usually guarded, and ordered to attack and defend in wartime, but the Thorn Shi is the governor of a state, and the prefect is the lord of a city, and the relationship with them is to break the bones and connect the tendons, although it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Thorn History, but big and small things, can you not obey the order?
Xiao Rui nodded, and followed the hundred households to the city tower, put down the box, Xiao Rui didn't say much, gave Zhuge Yuanba a look, and asked him to guard the box here, while he left here.
Although the hundred households were strange and curious about what was in the box, but curiosity was curiosity, and he didn't bother to ask, so late, he said hello and went back to the city tower to rest.
Xiao Rui left the city gate, took off his coat and threw it into the river, and then returned to the inn.
Early the next morning, Yangzhou City was crowded with people inside and outside the city.
Yesterday, the city gate was sealed for a day, resulting in those who wanted to go out could not get out, and those who wanted to come in could not enter.
The hundred households still did not receive the order to open the city gates, so they strictly guarded the city gates, so that there was a commotion under the city gates, and he had to transfer the soldiers on the city walls to maintain law and order.
At this time, there were only a few people on the city wall, and this hundred households walked towards Zhuge Yuanba, because the position where Zhuge Yuanba stood was just above the city gate.
"Brother, I don't know who kidnapped the assassin Shi Gongzi, what a thief!" Baihu approached and asked.
Zhuge Yuanba smiled and said nothing.
Suddenly, the wooden box jumped.
The hundred-household was taken aback, pointed to the wooden box in surprise, and asked, "Has it moved?" Did you see that? ”
Zhuge Yuanba stepped on the box with his feet, but the box shook again, this time the movement was larger, and there seemed to be a living thing tossing inside.
"Brother, what's in here?" Baihu was suspicious and couldn't help asking.
Zhuge Yuanba asked, "You really want to know?" ”
Baihu nodded, staring cautiously at Zhuge Yuanba.
Zhuge Yuanba smiled: "Look, hundreds of people have gathered below... The hour is almost up, I'll open it for you to see! ”
After speaking, Zhuge Yuanba suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist and cut the iron lock on the wooden box with one sword. Crunch... After the wooden box was opened, Li Jianwen was seen tied up and lying in the box.
The box suddenly opened, which also frightened Li Jianwen, and he hurriedly raised his head and looked at the hundred households.
You only have me in your eyes, and I only have you in my eyes!
The two looked at each other, Li Jianwen stuffed a cloth in his mouth, and then shouted loudly: "Buzz..."
And then like a wild boar, it kept tossing in a wooden box.
Baihu was dumbfounded, and it took a moment to react, and when he realized the problem, Zhuge Yuanba had already hit him in the abdomen with the handle of the knife, making him eat as painful as a lobster, and then Zhuge Yuanba knocked out the Baihu with a knife.
Turning his head and looking at Li Jianwen in the wooden box, Li Jianwen was so frightened that he squirmed wildly, Zhuge Yuanba shook his head and said to him: "I hate doing evil the most in my life, bullying weak and wicked people, but this time the person who wants to kill you is someone else, and he has gone to hell, so I have to make it clear to the king of Hades." ”
With that, Zhuge Yuanba pulled out the rope prepared in advance in the box, and then wrapped it around Li Jianwen's neck.
Li Jianwen was scared to pee, he was buzzing and screaming, tears and snot flowed, people in the face of death, no matter how unruly you are, you are also scared of your grandson at this time.
Unfortunately, it didn't help to let him struggle.
Zhuge Yuanba stood on top of the city tower and shouted at the people below: "Everyone, today my Black Lotus Sect will kill the evil for the people of Yangzhou City, eradicate the tumor, and restore the innocence of the world!" ”
After Zhuge Yuanba finished speaking, he vomited Xiao Rui's insidiousness in his heart, and actually threw the black cauldron to the Black Lotus Sect.
His voice was loud, suddenly alarming the people below, and when they looked up, Zhuge Yuanba had already taken out Li Jianwen and threw it out directly.
Li Jianwen was like a sandbag, flying out directly and falling, but unfortunately he fell three or four meters, and as soon as the rope around his neck was straightened, he instantly became a hanging ghost, and his neck was strangled by the rope.
His legs continued to spasm and tremble, and he was hanged alive on the city tower in full view of everyone and under the gaze of hundreds of people!
"Ahh
"Dead! Dead! ”
"It's Li Jianwen! Son of the Thorn History! ”
"It's him! He was killed! God has eyes! ”
"My poor daughter, have you seen it? He's dead! ”
…….
The people under the city gate were first panicked, and how could they not be afraid when they saw a person hanged? But after seeing that the deceased was Li Jianwen, the son of the notorious assassin Shi, the people who had been poisoned immediately let out a cry of joy.
The soldiers who maintained order were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly rushed up to the city tower in an attempt to arrest Zhuge Yuanba, but Zhuge Yuanba had already taken out another rope in the box, tied the rope directly and jumped out of the city, and left Yangzhou City after landing.
The soldiers who rushed to the city wall did not have this skill, so they could only hurriedly go down the city tower and open the city gate to pursue, but who knows, as soon as the city gate was opened, the people inside the city gate were crowded out, and the people outside the city gate were crowded inside, and the soldiers were immediately blocked in front of and behind the city gate, and they couldn't move at all. I could only watch Zhuge Yuanba disappear from sight.
At the same time, the news that Li Jianwen was hanged at the West City Gate was like a hurricane, and it spread all over Yangzhou City in an instant. The people who were close to the West City Gate all poured out, hoping to witness this scene with their own eyes, so that the West City Gate was crowded with countless people.
In the end, he still asked Shi Xianxin, who rushed to the house, to send people to disperse the crowd to stabilize the situation.
Subsequently, this Qianhu Lord sent soldiers to pursue Zhuge Yuanba, and then went to inform Li Tang, when Li Tang arrived, he could only see Li Jianwen's body, he crawled on the corpse and cried, but he also looked pitiful.
But for the people of Yangzhou City, after such a cancer, they can live a stable and happy life this year.
Sure enough, some people are happy and some are sad.
