Chapter 19: Night Attack
The fragrance of the newly planed wooden planks filled the room, and the Governor's Mansion, which had been like a haunted house, was now completely renewed, and the mud walls were blocked behind the wooden boards. The tables, chairs, and even the bedding on the table in the www.biquge.info room were all new, and Zhao Chengping lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, thinking about seeing Wang Ji tomorrow, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Dead.
Several dark shadows jumped into the governor's mansion, and they slowly approached the bedroom, and gently pushed the door, but without pushing it open, they saw a thick wooden latch across the door through the crack in the door.
One of them drew his waist knife and picked up the wooden latch from the bottom up, and the wooden latch landed with a loud noise.
They quickly rushed into the house, but saw Zhao Chengping sleepy-eyed, sitting on the bed and looking at them:
"Do you have overtime pay for assassinating me so late?"
Several people exchanged glances, but did not answer, raised their knives and slashed at Zhao Chengping, Zhao Chengping raised his hand and threw the quilt covering his body at them, the quilt covered their vision, and at the same time, the pain of being hit hard came from his head.
The quilt fell, and three people were covered in blood, and their bodies fell limply to the ground.
Zhao Chengping carried the Eight Immortals table in the room in his hand, looked at the remaining three, and sneered:
"Who else?"
The three of them swung their knives and went up again, Zhao Chengping slammed the table to the ground, the table board shattered, and he waved two table legs in his hand to meet it.
The level of these three people is really much worse than that of the Xianyang Forbidden Army, Zhao Chengping shook his head, threw down the table leg in his hand, and looked at the masked assassin rolling on the ground and snoring. Tearing off their masked towels one by one, he looked at their appearance carefully, sat on the edge of the bed and asked:
"Who sent you?" Zhao Chengping kicked one of them.
No one paid any attention to him.
He pressed his toes and pointed at the soft underbelly of one of them: "Hurry up, I still have to sleep." ”
The man howled loudly: "Lord Wang, we were sent by Lord Wang. ”
"Lord Wang? Wang Ji? ”
"Yes...... It's ......"
"I'm new here, and I haven't even seen his face, so I'm going to kill him?" Although he had already guessed that it was him, he didn't expect him to be in such a hurry, it seemed that he had something special that he didn't want to let someone from Xianyang know.
Zhao Chengping looked at them and said coldly:
"I was worried that I didn't know what to bring to meet Lord Commander, but now that I think about it, it's better to use your head? You can also make some military achievements for him. ”
The six of them listened to his words and cried: "Don't be an adult, we can't help it, the old and the young in the family are all counting on us to support the family." ”
"Then, if you come to assassinate me, will Lord Wang give you more money?"
"I didn't ...... There is no ......"
"No money and still work hard? I don't believe it. ”
One of them said: "There really isn't, Lord Wang said that King Qin originally promised him three years not to ask about the tax administration of Hedong County, but now he suddenly sent a person to be the county guard, he must want to meddle in the affairs of Hedong County, let us kill the adult, and then say that the adult died of a violent illness, that is." ”
"What's the unsightly thing in Hedong County?"
Those people, you look at me, I look at you, they all bow their heads and dare not speak.
Zhao Chengping smiled: "If you don't say it, I also know that it's nothing more than taking money that shouldn't be taken and meeting people you shouldn't see." Go back, don't come, I want to sleep a little longer. ”
And let them go like this? They couldn't believe it, and they still knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.
Zhao Chengping said helplessly:
", are you waiting for me to invite you to breakfast?"
Only then did they really believe that Zhao Chengping didn't want to take their lives, so they crawled out of the door.
The house was in shambles, the tables and chairs were shattered, the cups were broken into shards, the quilt fell to the ground, and several knives were cut, the pieces of cloth were chopped up, and the filling inside was exposed, and there were pieces of linen and wool...... Only then did he remember that cotton had entered the Central Plains after the Tang Dynasty.
Fortunately, at this time, the Central Plains region is still in a tropical jungle climate, and the Yellow River is still playing happily in Henan, and the late autumn night without quilts is not so sad.
I'll sleep tonight, and I'll wait for dawn to find Wang Ji to get the account back."
Lying in bed with my eyes closed for a long time, but there was no sleepiness at all, and the exercise before going to bed just now was not soothing enough.
It seems that Wang Ji doesn't know his deeds in Xianyang, otherwise, he should send someone with a higher level, or let professional people do professional things.
Of course, there is another possibility, Wang Ji knows about the school, but he doesn't believe it, or he is reluctant to pay for hiring people who charge more expensive.
"As a result, it hasn't been done now, and I've told the old man to people." Zhao Chengping was full of disdain, and opened his eyes to see that the sky outside was still dark.
He got up and went to find some water to drink, but found that there was a little reddish-brown in the breach of the quilt, which seemed to be stained. He reached out and tore the hole wide, took out the contents and looked at it, and couldn't help but feel sick.
It was a bloodstained garment.
In modern times, there are shameful packing clothes, black-hearted cotton, how come the Qin Dynasty has it? It seems that the time definition of the eight words "the world is declining and the people's hearts are not ancient" has to be pushed forward.
He wanted to throw the clothes on the ground in disgust, but he was surprised to find that the clothes had many knife edges, but they all stopped at the placket.
Spread the clothes flat, and it was obvious that there was something on the chest blocking the blade.
Square? It's a cuirass!
The owner of this dress is a soldier?
The Qin army on the battlefield did not have the hobby of bringing back the enemy's bloody clothes, they only brought heads or ears to remember their merits.
If it is a family to bury a deceased relative, they will also dispose of the clothes, and it is impossible for it to appear here.
Zhao Chengping looked at the bloody clothes, thought of many possibilities, and was overthrown by himself one by one, but unfortunately his ability could not see the relevant events that had happened through the objects.
Before you know it, there is a light outside the window.
Can't sleep...... He rubbed his face with his hands, stood up, walked out of the room, looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and stretched widely.
There was a well in the courtyard, and he looked inside, and it was so deep that it was so dark that he couldn't see if there was any water, so he found a clod of earth and threw it in, but there was no sound of water, nor the sound of touching the ground, but it seemed to have been smashed on some soft object.
Curious, he grabbed the well rope and slid down, and after the end, he found that there was a decomposing male corpse underneath.
Zhao Chengping was stunned for a moment, fortunately, he is also a person with heavy tastes, and he has appreciated all the keywords on the Internet that "never need to search for them", so now his mood is quite stable.
"It's really a haunted house, I hope it won't be a virgin."
Seeing it and dealing with it in person are two different things, and Zhao Chengping didn't want to touch this rotting corpse at all. I had to wipe my hands with coriander because of the smell of the corpse, but the coriander was still in the Western Regions at this time, and I had to wait for Zhang Qian to bring it back.
Find someone else to deal with it in a while.
When he came out of the well, he happened to hear someone banging on the door, it was Liu Quan.
Seeing the situation in the house, Liu Quan looked sluggish: "What happened last night?" ”
Zhao Chengping smiled: "Lord Wang sent someone to say hello to me." ”
"That'...... What are your plans now? Still going? ”
Zhao Chengping smiled: "Go, of course you have to go, how can you not visit when you get to the ground." ”
He went into the house and changed into a brand-new official uniform, carrying a bag of unknown things in his hand, and said to Liu Quan: "Let's go." ”
In the county guard's mansion, Wang Ji was laughing with his concubine, and when he heard someone inform Zhao Chengping that he wanted to see him, he didn't even raise his head, and waved his hand: "If you don't see it, you won't see it, just say that this official is busy with military affairs......"
"No matter how busy the military affairs are, Lord Wang can't treat money like dung, right?" A gentle male voice came.
Wang Ji was startled, raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from. A man with delicate eyebrows and an elegant temperament stood at the door: "Zhao Chengping pays a visit to Lord Junshouwang." ”
"How did he get in!" Wang Ji was shocked and angry, "Someone! After shouting for a long time, no one answered, he stood up, looked over Zhao Chengping's shoulder, and found that the guards at the door were lying on the ground.
The guards of the county guard mansion were all carefully selected by Wang Ji from the army, and the man in front of him knocked them all down silently.
The news sent by the spies in Xianyang only mentioned that he was the queen mother's male favorite, and on the day Zhao Chengping entered the city, Wang Ji also stood at the head of the city and took a look, and the evaluation was: Oily head and flour waste.
So find a few random people to teach him a lesson, give him a dismissal, and let him not dare to say anything about the affairs of Hedong County from now on. Unexpectedly, the people sent out had not come back, but Zhao Chengping came to the door, and he was unharmed.
