At this time, the inner hall of the Taishou Mansion has been isolated by secret guards, and the original relatives and servants in the mansion are not allowed to approach.

Reviewing the old days, let Zhixia give the lamp to the inner hall, brighten the hall a little, and the heart will be a little more settled.

Then everyone sat down separately, and did not hide their voices, I am afraid that the loud conspire is nothing more than that.

The guards guarding the outside are deaf and discerning, and they will clean up all the sounds that can be heard in the inner hall.

The conversation did not end until it was about to dawn. Wen Gu was not in a hurry to go back without losing his home, but first went to the courtyard behind the mansion with Wen Liang.

The leader of the Chu army, who was still dreaming well, was woken up, and after talking to his future beauty lord, he left the token and quietly slipped out the door alone with great ambitions.

Before daylight, the eldest lady of Liangzhou Jun, the young aunt of Tongcheng Taishou, and the secret help of the future monarch of Southern Chu, threw a few stones at the conspicuous or inconspicuous places in the water of Tongcheng.

This game of chess in Tongcheng is about to reach the time of hand-to-hand combat, and the son has already been laid out, and then, a battle will be rolled out. She has to take care of her spirits and clean up the next situation.

At this time, the "driving department Langzhong" was also woken up from his sleep, and his subordinates came in a panic to inform him that the four people who followed Liu Zhi did not return on time to return the news.

After a while, they sent another person out to look for them, and as a result, the bodies of four people were found all over Tongcheng, but the female inspector of Tongcheng took a step forward in keeping the corpses before them. They inevitably revealed their whereabouts, and they did not appear for the time being, so they could only return to the commander first.

The "driving department Langzhong" originally didn't think that Tongcheng's affairs were difficult to do, but he slept deeply, listened to his subordinates' reports in a trance, and then woke up and asked urgently: "Is Tongcheng too guarded?" ”

The subordinate replied: "I'm not sure, the female inspector has been investigating the scene, asking the people around, and she looks like she doesn't know." ”

"Driving Langzhong" snorted coldly and said: "This Tongcheng is under the rule of Liu Zhu, we are not familiar with the environment and human feelings, if he wants to make a scene, you may not be able to distinguish clearly." ”

His subordinates said "yes" and waited for the commander to give his orders.

On this trip, there were only more than 30 people who were mixed into the original team of the Criminal Department of the Military Department. Combined with those who entered the city disguised as homeless people, and those who hid outside the city to prepare for reception, the total number of sixty did not even arrive.

Letting Liu Zhi enter Beijing is just a casual matter, and when he returns to Beijing, he needs to divide more than ten more people, and they still need to stay here for a while, Xu Zhongyan has not yet entered the city, and the important things are still to come, and the manpower is already very insufficient.

But less than a day after entering the city, four people had already been lost inexplicably. After a little weighing, the "Driver Langzhong" decided not to allocate personnel to investigate the matter for the time being, and to make plans after sending Liu Zhu and the others out of the city.

"What's going on with Liu Zhuke?" He asked again.

The subordinate replied: "An hour ago, after the subordinates noticed that something was wrong, they immediately added manpower to keep an eye on the Taishou Mansion. ”

"Driving Langzhong" clearly knew that this subordinate was afraid of his own responsibility, and he was obviously slow to react, but he avoided the importance and only said that he had replenished the manpower in time, but this was not the time for the attack, so he waited for him quietly.

There was nothing unusual about Liu Shu, he just packed his bags. However, there is one thing that may be unusual in the Taishou Mansion. ”

"What?"

"In addition to packing out the simple luggage, Liu Zhu and his relatives and servants also brought a coffin."

"For himself?"

The subordinate shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, the coffin has been nailed, and there should be a corpse inside." ”

"Driving Langzhong" doubted: "If it is a relative of his family, he should be buried in Tongcheng, and when he returns to Beijing on this trip, he does not pass by his hometown, why do you bring a dead man?" ”

"The subordinates also doubted this, and inquired, no one in his family has passed away in recent days."

"The driving squire" snorted coldly again, and said: "No matter what tricks he plays, when we go to see him, we will naturally have a difference." ”

According to today's arrangement, as soon as noon passed, Bibu Langzhong and a cadre from Beijing should return to Beijing with Liu Zhu, and His Royal Highness naturally had other hospitality in Lianzhou. Only these people were left in Tongcheng, and they were carefully dealing with the Second Highness.

But before he could get out, he heard another subordinate report from him.

"Commander, Liu Zhu has been assassinated in the mansion!"

He just slept for a while, and then two things happened, "Driver Langzhong" cursed a few words in his heart and asked, "Are you dead?" ”

"No, it's just an injury, but it's not serious." The back and forth subordinate replied.

"Who is the Assassin? Can you keep your mouth alive? ”

The visitor shook his head and said, "There are three assassins, one escaped, and the other two were killed on the spot." ”

"Bastard thing! I can't even keep a person. Who is keeping an eye on Liu? Call back and forth. ”

"Driving Langzhong" didn't expect his subordinates to be so incompetent, and he was really angry. As he spoke, he stared at the first subordinate.

But he heard the latecomer say again: "Commander, the four people we stared at Liu Zhi were all killed by the assassins. ”

"What?!"

"Driving Langzhong" was nervous, he didn't care about his subordinates much, but there were only so many people, and there would be eight fewer kung fu in a while, and no one could sit still. So he didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly asked two of his subordinates to follow him to the Taishou Mansion to check.

By the time they arrived, the Taishou Mansion had just calmed down from the chaos, the medical officer had just left, and Liu's wives and concubines had already taken turns to come over and cry, and let him rush back one by one.

It's just that I can't pack my bags for the time being.

The two family members who had been killed by the Assassins were also covered with cloth and carried to be sent out.

At this time, a group of people and horses called open the gate of the Taishou Mansion, and Wu Yang rushed in, led by the "driving department Langzhong".

Seeing Liu Zhu leaning on his side, with a white cloth wrapped around his waist, his original green official robe was stained red with blood, and his face was even more pale.

"Driver Langzhong" first shouted "Wait", and his subordinates immediately stopped the person carrying the corpse of the family. He went up and lifted the cloth himself, and the two corpses were indeed dressed as family members, as if they had just died.

Then he walked up to Liu Zhu and said coldly: "Taishou, is the injury serious?" ”

Liu Zhu replied bitterly: "My lord is concerned, and the life of the subordinate is not hindered." ”

"Driver Langzhong" nodded, and suddenly pressed his hand to Liu Zhi's waist.
