Chapter 163: Chess is a high one

In the headquarters of the Earth Dragon Gang, the three leaders are discussing the plan of action again. The big boss said: "You all know that it was the stand-in of the Three Princes who was killed in the Fugui Restaurant, and the real Three Princes are currently missing. ”

The third master suggested: "Big brother, let's send someone to find the third prince and get rid of him." ”

The big boss shook his head and said: "I just received a secret report that the king of Pingyang has colluded with the main battle faction of Western Xia, and they plan: When Western Xia sent troops to attack my Great Song Dynasty, King Pingyang took the opportunity to rebel. Also, there was news from Chenzhou that Master Di was currently seriously ill. ”

The second master said: "In this way, the situation has changed, and the assassination of the third prince is currently detrimental to the interests of the country and is very unfavorable to my Great Song Dynasty." ”

The big boss asked, "What do you think of the third brother?" ”

The third master said happily: "Our Dilong Gang, of course, can't do anything harmful to the interests of the country!" ”

The next day, Wang Jincai, who set up a stall in the capital, appeared in a restaurant and brothel dressed gorgeously, saying that he had saved a nobleman and made a fortune.

One of his friends asked curiously, "Who did you save?" ”

Wang Jincai whispered: "I tell you, you have to keep it secret, that noble man won't let me tell others." ”

The friend replied, "Say it, I don't tell anyone else." ”

"The noble man said that someone was chasing him, and he was hiding in my poor family, unobtrusive, and it was safer."

"Is he still at your house?"

"Of course. He seems to be very tired, and he hasn't gotten out of bed until now, and my clothes are his. ”

If you tell the wind the secret, don't blame the wind for telling it to the whole forest. Soon, everyone in the restaurant and brothel knew the secret of Wang Jincai's overnight wealth.

Of course, the news also reached the ears of a gray-clothed man, who found the assassin Jing Zhiwu and whispered: "The third prince is in the house of Wang Jincai, a street vendor in the city, this is Wang Jincai's address. After speaking, the man in gray took out a note, handed it to Jing Zhiwu, and continued: "This time, we must not fail again!" ”

Jing Zhiwu replied: "Don't worry, as long as the third prince is there, I will definitely not let him come out alive!" ”

Jing Zhiwu came to the vicinity of Wang Jincai's home, and after taking a good look, he returned to Jijia Lane, where he lived. He gathered all the Assassins together and told them about his plan to assassinate the Three Princes again. One of the Assassins reminded: "I have also heard about Wang Jincai, could this be a trap?" ”

Jing Zhiwu replied, "I have thought of this too, but if it is true, we will lose the best opportunity to assassinate." ”

"What then?"

"I came up with the best of both worlds, and that was: fire attack! Specifically, the first group of people shot rockets at Wang Jincai's house on the roof opposite his house, and each person withdrew after shooting three arrows. The second group of people lay in the dark to observe the situation, and if the third prince escaped from the fire, they would shoot poison darts to kill him; If the official comes out, everyone will withdraw. Of course, the back window of Wang Jincai's house should also be watched by someone, so as not to let the third prince run away from the back window again. The third group of people ambushed on the way back to Jijia Lane, and was responsible for intercepting the chasing officials, and they must not bring their tails to their homes. ”

In the middle of the night, the hunter who was hiding in Wang Jincai's house suddenly saw a rocket shooting in, and the house was on fire, so he had to rush out, and then saw that the assassin had fled far away. So they were busy putting out the fire and did not chase the Assassins anymore. Seeing this, the second group of Assassins quietly withdrew.

When the Assassins returned to Jijia Lane, they praised Jing Zhiwu for his good strategy, and then went to sleep happily. When it was almost dawn, Jing Zhiwu's door was knocked open, and before he could react, he was hit by a soft hemp hole. After a while, all the assassins were captured and taken to Dali Temple together.

Since the "Truth Pill" had run out, when interrogating Jing Zhiwu, Bai Haohong said straight to the point: "Your accomplices have been recruited, and they say that you are a small leader. If you confess all of them and have meritorious service, I will propose to Lord Yu that your punishment be reduced. Tell me, who instructed you to attack the Xixia Pavilion? ”

Jing Zhiwu said unwillingly: "Before I answer the question, I want to ask, how did you find our residence?" ”

Bai Haohong smiled and said, "Because, I calculated that you will use 'fire attack'!" Zhan Renxia and I have been hiding in the shadows for a long time to observe the movements, and when you escape, we will follow quietly and far behind. When you see that the official is not chasing you, you swagger back, so that it will be easier for us to follow. ”

Jing Zhiwu said admiringly: "Lord Bai's chess is high, I am convinced to lose!" ”

"Tell me, tell me everything you know."

"Two months ago, I heard that the King of Pingyang was recruiting martial artists, so I went to sign up, and after a competition, they recruited me and made me a small leader. After a while, someone came to me and said that he would take twenty people to attack the Xixia Pavilion and give me a good honorarium, and I agreed. ”

"Who told you to attack the Xixia Pavilion Station?"

The man was masked, claimed to be Deng, and told me not to ask more. I said, 'I am the martial artist of the king of Pingyang, in case of failure...... and the man replied, "King Pingyang, there is no record of you, don't talk nonsense.'" After a pause, the man continued: 'If you succeed, you will return to the king of Pingyang, and you will be promoted to the rank of chieftain.' ’”

"What about when you come to Beijing?"

"After we came to Beijing, we stayed in Jijia Lane, which they arranged. After ten days, a man in gray clothes came to me and said that there was an action on the evening of the 10th of this month, so that we could get ready. On the evening of the 10th, the man in gray came again, and he gave me a detailed map of the Xixia Pavilion, and told us to enter the pavilion through the western courtyard wall, and directly attack the three rooms marked in the map, killing the people in the house. ”

"What are the characteristics of the man in gray?"

"He was masked and couldn't see the features, but he was not fluent in Chinese, as if he was not from the Central Plains."

After Jing Zhiwu was taken down, Bai Haohong fell into deep thought, pondering: "This gray-clothed man is likely to be a fine work of the Western Xia in the capital, and he is not fluent in Chinese, so he can only stay in the shop opened by the Western Xia people." I'll go and check all the shops of the Tanguts tomorrow. ”

The next morning, when Bai Haohong went out, he saw that Lizi was also preparing to go out, and couldn't help asking, "Lizi, what are you doing when you go out so early?" ”

Liz replied: "I heard that there are many Western Xia businessmen who entered Beijing with the Western Xia delegation this time, I want to go to the Western Xia shops to see, what are the strange goods?" ”

"Okay, I'll go with you, shall I?"

"Big Brother Bai, you won't write a blank check again this time, will you?"

"I used to say, 'I'm free to go shopping with you.'" The premise is to be available. Look, if I'm free today, won't I accompany you?! ”
