Chapter 176: The Fall of the Lou Family (I)
A heart-palpitating roar sounded in the courtyard of the Lou family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For Lou Tianlu, this roar is venting; For the people in the yard, this roar is a warning sign; For Chen Zhen, this roar was a location reminder.
Ordinary people live in buildings, rich people own buildings, and Loujia has a building complex, although there are countless "palaces" and countless "palaces" like the real palace, but the buildings are still connected into a large area, and the primary and secondary can be judged from the distribution of buildings, and from the distribution of soldiers, we can judge which places have important people.
Chen Zhen found Lou Bocheng and poisoned it with the aconitine prepared in advance, without revealing his location, but Lou Tianlu's bedroom and study were observed, and there was no one inside, and in the area near the center of the complex, there were many soldiers, and he couldn't see the specific distribution, and he couldn't walk around in the courtyard, fortunately, a roar sounded, so he knew the approximate location of Lou Tianlu.
Except for Lou Tianlu, probably no one dared to yell in the Lou family's compound at this moment.
At this time, Chen Zhen stayed in the living room, mixed with the officials who came to admire the moon, the moon was not rewarded, the Lou family had not opened a meal yet, and Lou Tianlu probably did not have the mood to admire the moon; People can't leave, the whistle keeps sounding, from far to near, now the safest place in Yucheng is here, and whoever goes is looking for death.
The thirteenth person on the list is also here, a person named Li Hongsheng, who recently heard that Lou Jianliang had been killed, and he came to inspect before he finished eating, so Chen Zhen failed to intercept him on the road.
Li Hongsheng is the person in charge of the mining of the ore vein, strictly speaking, he is a member of the Bai family, but in Yucheng, he still has to listen to Lou Tianlu's words, the mine is under his control, but the miners are in charge of Lou Tianlu, without miners, the mine is not much different from other caves and earth pits.
Chen Zhen did not know Li Hongsheng, and the description of his appearance on the assassination list was relatively simple: in his fifties, thin, bald, with a red birthmark on the thumb of his left palm.
Birthmark is indeed a more obvious feature, but the palm is generally inward, downward, palm up is an unnatural action, to twist the forearm, unless it is back to the back, otherwise the back of the hand up is much "easier", in the building, no one will be proud to carry the hand, will not expose the palm.
There are a lot of people in the living room, and most of the officials in Yucheng have been invited, and they are all gathered here, so Chen Zhen can stay at ease, the officials will think that he is a subordinate of the Lou family, and the people of the Lou family will think that he is a person from the officials' side, which is a safe area, but there are many people, and it is not easy to find Li Hongsheng.
He was observing, looking for balding people, and then looking at the palms of those balding people.
The roar sounded, so frightened that everyone shrank their necks, the conversation was interrupted, and the living room fell into silence all of a sudden, and they all guessed that someone in the Lou family had an accident again.
It wasn't long before a group of soldiers came to the parlor, lined up, and gambled the door, and there were people guarding the window, and the place was already tightly surrounded.
A middle-aged man walked in, accompanied by two soldiers and a warrior with a sword, glanced at everyone, and said: "Everyone should know, a lot of things happened tonight, and now it has been determined that someone has mixed into the building, and is doing an investigation in the downstairs, please cooperate, stand backwards, stick to the innermost wall, squeeze it temporarily, and it will be fine immediately." ”
No one dared to express their displeasure, and everyone in the room, including the officials and the servants who served the stewards, retreated to the innermost wall, and embraced it.
Chen Zhen was also inside, the Lou family's reaction speed was faster than he imagined, and the defensive measures were stricter than he imagined before he came in, he originally planned to expose himself when he saw Lou Tianlu - Lou Tianlu must have powerful people around him to protect him, and it was impossible to assassinate him - now it seems that there is little hope, that Lou Shou should be able to recognize everyone here, so he will let him investigate.
He wanted to kill Li Hongsheng before he was exposed, but it had to depend on the order of Lou Shou's investigation, if he investigated the officials first, he would be able to know who Li Hongsheng was, and if he investigated the servants first, he would have to kill all these people.
Lou Shou took out a list from his arms and began to roll call.
Seeing this move, Chen Zhen was ready to make a move.
The first one who was called by his name took a step forward, and nodded towards Lou Shou, Chen Zhen didn't know him, but it could be seen from his clothes that he was an official.
This sequence of checks was what he wanted.
Lou Shou also nodded to the man, made a gesture of "please", pointed to the corner by the door, and said, "Please stand over here." ”
The man immediately walked to the corner and stood.
This way is relatively safe, will not miss anyone, there are many houses, the family does not suspect that the person who mixed in is hiding in the living room, and there is not much caution, just a simple investigation.
Soon, there were six people standing in the corner.
The seventh is Li Hongsheng, after reading the name, Lou Shou raised his head and looked, on the far right side of the crowd, the person standing in the first row took a step forward and arched his hand towards Lou Shou.
Lou Shou nodded, made another "please" gesture, and then raised the list to prepare to point to the next person.
Li Hongsheng took the first step.
At the same time, near the middle of the crowd, two people suddenly tilted to the left and right, took a step to the side, and looked back together.
They were pushed away, and the person who pushed them away took a step forward, walked out of the crowd, and turned his body to Li Hongsheng.
At the same time, the warrior with a knife standing beside Lou Shou reached out and grabbed the hilt of the knife, jumped forward, and drew his knife and slashed at the young man who stood out.
The knife is fast, the person is fast, and the reaction is fast, no matter from which aspect, this can be regarded as a master of root strength, Chen Zhen took the second step, and the knife has come to him.
But the knife slashed through the air.
If you want to pursue fast speed, the power of the knife must be large, the power of the knife is large, there is not much spare power to collect the knife, there is no way to retain the change of moves, Chen Zhen suddenly jumped forward when the blade was very close, the time was very accurate, a moment later, the knife would be split on his body, a moment earlier, he might not have time to kill Li Hongsheng, and he would have to face this person's second knife.
Li Hongsheng was startled by the martial artist's movements, and just turned his head with it, only to see Chen Zhen behind him in the afterglow of his eyes, holding his jaw with one hand, his rotating head was driven by a great force, and he continued to turn, his neck made a "click" sound, and his head just turned around and returned to the front.
On the assassination list, except for Lou Fukang, who has not yet returned to Yucheng, only Lou Tianlu is left.
The second knife has arrived, slashing to the back, the speed of this knife is relatively slow, and there are countless changes hidden, which is much higher than Liu Yi's knife.
Chen Zhen retreated and dodged when facing Liu Yi, but he couldn't dodge this knife, he didn't dodge, but crashed into the other party.
The speed was too fast, and the man's knife was still in the process of changing moves, and he jumped backwards.
But the position relationship has changed, there are people behind him, and there is no way to retreat, and Chen Zhen is planning to hit people, jumping harder, farther, faster, and the other party jumps back, buying a little time for his change of moves, but unfortunately it is not enough.
His right arm blocked the opponent's hand, and his left fist slammed into the man's chest.
"Poof—"
The sternum was shattered, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from the warrior with the sword.
At the same time, with a "bang", Li Hongsheng's body fell to the ground, and before he fell, the skin on his neck pulled his head back and turned half a circle, although it was pounced, it looked like it was lying on the ground.
With another punch, a hole was punched out of the chest without sternum protection.
Seeing the blood spurting out, those nearby officials froze in fright, looked at Li Hongsheng's body, and looked up at the murderer.
The killer is also watching them.
Eye contact, which was more frightening than anything else, and a group of people rushed out the door screaming at the same time, a sharp alarm whistle sounded.
The window was smashed, and the soldiers guarding outside jumped in, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, but all they could see was Li Hongsheng's body and the dying warrior with a sword.
Chen Zhen had already rushed out of the house with the crowd, and he didn't forget to kill Lou Shou blocking the door and the soldiers who were blowing the whistle for those people.
The soldiers guarding outside didn't know what was happening, but saw a group of people rushing out of the waiting room, neither killing nor blocking, and hurriedly retreated.
The crowd rushed to the courtyard and dispersed, running in either direction, and more soldiers came around, knowing that the people who had infiltrated the building were here, and grabbed some of them and asked who they were, but those people were in a state of panic, even if they were still calm, looking back, the courtyard was full of people running around, and where could they recognize the murderer.
…………
"Ran away?" In the chess tea room, Lou Tianlu heard the report of his subordinates, and asked with a gloomy face: "There is only one person, how did he run away under the noses of so many soldiers?" ”
"I rushed out while the people in the living room on the street were rushing out and running away while there was chaos." The person in charge of the report fell to one knee on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"Then why don't you kill them all? If someone kills, how can there be chaos? Yes? Lou Tianlu grabbed his scalp hard, it hurt very much, and his chest rose and fell violently.
"Can't blame them." Of the two people who had been following him, the man in the back left spoke: "More than a dozen people died, and each of them died in a different way, hanging, hanging, poisoning, piercing the throat, and breaking the heart...... That man is a master of assassination, and no matter how strict the precautions are, there will always be loopholes to be found. ”
Lou Tianlu closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, inhaled harder, and roared loudly: "Come on!" If you want to kill me, come here! Lao Tzu is here, and you have already appeared! ”
His voice almost burst out, and the sound was so far away that even the soldiers on the courtyard wall turned their heads to look at the sound.
"Click...... Click......"
It seemed that even the ceiling was shattered by the sound.
