Chapter 44: Intelligence and Strategy (2-in-1) [102 Starting Coins Thanks to Book Friend for Rewarding Long]
Back at home, Liu Mazi, who had been busy for most of the day, was not only physically exhausted, but also in a bad mood.
Thinking of the Taoist priest who came out of nowhere, Liu Mazi's heart became angry.
"The stinky Taoist raised by the son of a bitch, bad business! Don't let Lao Tzu find an opportunity, or I'll kill you. ”
The more Liu Mazi thought about it, the more angry he became, and kicked the door of the backyard open.
"Master, who upset you again?" Liu Mazi's wife asked.
Liu Mazi glanced at his wife and said coldly, "What's the matter with you?" Get out of the way. ”
Liu Mazi's wife looked ugly when she heard this, and walked to the side stupidly, secretly hating in her heart.
Since Liu Mazi married a concubine, he has become more and more impatient with himself.
That little vixen will kill her sooner or later!
Liu Mazi walked into the side room on the left, and a slightly beautiful woman was sitting in front of the mirror dressing up.
He stepped forward, put his arms around the woman from behind, and kissed her powdered face:
"Beauty, you miss me!"
The concubine pushed Liu Mazi away and said coquettishly: "Dead ghost, what are the monkeys anxious about?" It's not dark yet! ”
"Hehe, as the saying goes, if you don't see you for a day, it's like every other autumn!"
"We haven't seen each other for half a day, and it's like I haven't seen you for half a year."
The concubine looked at Liu Mazi's ugly face, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled:
"Don't worry, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
The concubine pretended to be gloomy again: "I want to prepare some food for you, but my hand was stabbed when I sewed clothes yesterday." ”
Liu Mazi hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, just let the yellow-faced woman do it." ”
Saying that, Liu Mazi walked outside the house and yelled:
"You lazy woman, why don't you cook? Believe it or not, I divorced you? ”
After scolding his wife a few more times, he shook his majesty and returned to the house.
He held the concubine in his arms and stroked it wantonly.
Although the concubine was extremely disgusted, she had no choice but to let Liu Mazi play with it.
Night.
Liu Mazi came to the concubine's room, took out a porcelain jar from the drawer, poured out two pills full of fishy smell and swallowed them with wine.
After a while, Liu Mazi felt that he was full of energy, and his face was ruddy, like a majestic general.
He couldn't wait to push the concubine down on the collapse.
Liu Mazi was depressed, muttered two sentences, and fell asleep after a while.
The concubine looked at Liu Mazi's appearance, and scolded Liu Mazi in her heart for being a waste.
At the same time, he lamented that his fate was sad, and he couldn't help himself to marry such a person.
After the concubine cleaned the bed, she also felt a little tired, so she extinguished the oil lamp and fell asleep after a while.
But not long after she fell asleep, she was awakened by an unusual slight movement.
I opened my eyes in a daze, but saw a tall black figure standing quietly by the window.
The figure's face was pitch black, and it was difficult to see clearly, holding a bright steel knife, which looked extremely eerie in the moonlight, like impermanence from the underworld.
The concubine was so frightened that she just wanted to scream, but in the next second, a small pebble hit her acupuncture point and knocked her unconscious.
Naturally, it was Yu Ke who made the shot.
When he came to the bedside, Yu Ke patted Liu Mazi's face and woke him up.
Liu Mazi opened his eyes in a daze, saw that there was another person next to the bed, and was so frightened that he wanted to scream, but Yu Ke pinched his throat and couldn't make any sound.
Yu Ke grabbed Liu Mazi's neck, and after more than ten seconds, until Liu Mazi was about to take his breath, he said in a hoarse voice:
"If you dare to scream, I'll kill you."
After saying that, he let go of his hand.
Liu Mazi coughed for a while before finally recovering his breath.
He trembled:
"This man, what are you looking for me to do? Seeking wealth? ”
Yu Ke said: "Someone sent me to take your life. ”
Liu Mazi hurriedly asked, "Who wants to take my life?" ”
said and reacted again: "I, Liu Mazi, have always been kind to others, and I haven't offended anyone!" This uncle would rather not bluff me, you ask for it, I have fifty taels of silver to give, this is my entire net worth. ”
Yu Ke sneered: "I'm still playing tricks when I'm dying, Liu Mazi, who do you think I don't know?" ”
"To tell you the truth, I am indeed here to ask for wealth this time, hand over all my net worth, and let you die happily."
Liu Mazi hurriedly got out of bed and knelt on the ground: "Master, if you want money, you can give you all my belongings, please spare my life." ”
"And I'm a flag man, kill me and you'll be wanted!"
Yu Kehe sneered, and then bluffed in a hoarse voice:
"I can't save your life, I might as well let you be a ghost, it's Mr. Pang who is in charge of the huge human life, and I will take your life!"
"You've got it!"
Liu Mazi was stunned when he heard this: "Huge people? ”
Yu Ke stepped on the edge of the bed with one foot: "Yes, Liu Mazi, you are really timid, you dare to move anything!" ”
Saying that, Yu Ke raised the steel knife and made a gesture to split.
Liu Mazi's urine is about to scare out:
"Master! Father! Don't be in a hurry, I can give you everything, please spare my life! ”
"I have three hundred...... Thousand! 1,000 taels of silver!! I'm all worth it! If you're not enough, my little concubine can give it to you! ”
Yu Ke sighed and pretended to be very tempted:
"Liu Mazi, it's not that I don't want to let you go. Mr. Pang wants your life, and I won't be able to deal with you if I don't cut off your head. ”
Liu Mazi hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to kill me first, please plead for me in front of Manager Pang." ”
"I will return all the money I have earned from huge people over the years!"
Yu Ke sneered:
"You think that's what happened? Do you think that huge people care about the three melons and two dates that you are greedy for? ”
"Before I came, the huge man could explain it to me."
"If you are honest, it may not be impossible to spare your life, just cut off one of your hands, after all, you have also worked under his hands for a short time, and there is no merit and hard work."
"But if you're not honest, dare to play tricks......"
Liu Mazi's scalp was numb when he heard this, and he knew that the matter had really happened, and he didn't dare to have any luck.
"I'll confess, I'll confess."
"I did get the key, and I'll give it to you."
Key?
Yu Ke turned his head and said in a low voice: "Be smart." ”
Liu Mazi turned around, lifted a piece of floor tiles under the bed, reached in, and found a key.
"Is this it? Don't play tricks. Yu Ke snatched the key.
Liu Mazi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"You can't be wrong, the one who guarded the door at the beginning lost his eyes and staked the key to me."
"I'm obsessed, I printed a mold with plaster, this is it, you see this key is still very new, I haven't used it a few times."
"The one who guards the door?" Yu Ke asked.
It stands to reason that Yu Ke shouldn't have any doubts, but Liu Mazi may have been too nervous to notice that something was wrong.
He explained: "It's Cheng Laosan, who guards the mansion of the huge man." ”
Eunuch Pang's mansion? Yu Ke's mind moved.
Yu Ke smiled coldly and said nonsense:
"I said how could a huge person be so angry that he smashed things, it turns out that your kid is actually obsessed with his mind and hits his mind on the huge person."
Liu Mazi sighed:
"It's just a door key, it's not very useful."
"I also found an opportunity to go into the house through the window last month, and I just fished out a few silver tickets of ten taels, and I let the adults find out."
Liu Mazi continued to plead: "This master, for the sake of my honest explanation, can you let me go?" ”
"I'm going to move out of Beijing right away, and I'm not going to come back, and I'm not going to be in front of a huge crowd again."
Yu Ke did not answer Liu Mazi's question and asked:
"Where is Eunuch Pang's mansion?"
"Over there. There is no plaque, the main entrance is locked......"
Liu Mazi stopped when he said this, looked at Yu Ke, and his pupils shrank suddenly: "Who are you, you are not a subordinate of a huge person......
"The Poor Dao King also." Yu Ke said with a smile.
He put the knife on Liu Mazi's neck:
"For your sake, I wanted to spare your life, but who made you recognize the poor way...... You can't be left alone. ”
Liu Mazi looked at Yu Ke in a cold sweat:
"King, Wang Daochang, you and I have no grievances or hatreds, why do you need my life."
Yu Ke said: "That's what you said, but you have guessed who Poor Dao is, if you don't kill you, what if you take revenge in the future?" ”
Liu Mazi hurriedly said: "I can swear a poisonous oath and will never retaliate against you!" Money, money is yours! ”
Yu Ke sighed: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, God has the virtue of a good life, and the poor Dao is not willing to kill without permission." ”
"Well, answer me some more questions......"
"I must know everything!" Liu Mazi said.
"Okay."
Yu Ke asked many more questions.
About Eunuch Pang, about Li Lianying, about Cixi, Li Hongzhang, and Zai Xiang......
also asked some about the situation in the palace, but although Liu Mazi was a banner man, he had never entered the palace, and he almost didn't know anything about the situation in the palace.
I asked for more than two hours.
During this period, Liu Mazi's concubine showed signs of waking up, and was knocked out by Yu Ke's stone hitting the acupuncture point.
After asking all the questions he wanted to know, Yu Ke was sure that he couldn't get more information from Liu Mazi, and saw him put one hand on Liu Mazi's shoulder:
"Liu Mazi, you will keep it a secret for me, right?"
Liu Mazi said: "Of course, if I say half a word about today's events, I will be hit by five thunderstorms in the sky!" ”
Yu Ke sighed and asked, "Thank you." But do you know who has the strictest mouth? ”
"Dead people." Yu Ke asked and answered himself.
Before the words fell, Yu Ke had already broken Liu Mazi's neck.
A few minutes later, Liu Mazi swallowed his last breath, and a small spot of light floated out from his corpse, and Yu Ke reached out to touch it.
Fortune +0.76.
Dragging Liu Mazi's body to the courtyard, Yu Ke sprinkled some wine on Liu Mazi's body again, posing his body as if he accidentally broke his neck after a drunken stumble.
After doing all this and cleaning up the footprints and other traces left by himself, Yu Ke left here directly and headed towards Eunuch Pang's mansion.
Of course, he didn't want to steal Eunuch Pang's property, but just stepped on the spot first.
After a few days, Eunuch Pang came out of the palace, and then found an opportunity to tie him up and torture him for the information he wanted.
This eunuch Pang came out of the palace about once every ten days, and the next time was about four days later, and Yu Ke could afford to wait.
Half an hour later, Yu Ke came to Eunuch Pang's mansion.
Yu Ke didn't use the key to open the door, but went directly over the wall to enter the mansion.
After observing the structure of the mansion, he retreated.
Back at the inn where he lived, Yu Ke jumped hard, jumped up more than three meters high, and put his hand on the window edge.
Entering his room through the window, Yu Ke took off his shoes and lay on the bed, sleeping with his clothes.
Early the next morning, Yu Ke took a carriage and came to the Tongzhou Grand Canal Wharf.
It was more than seventy miles from the palace, and Yu Ke set off at about eight o'clock in the morning and did not arrive until nearly one o'clock in the afternoon.
The most important part of the plan to assassinate Cixi was not how to enter the palace, but how to escape the capital.
At that time, if he didn't escape in time and was surrounded by the army, Yu Ke couldn't guarantee that he would break out of the encirclement and fight his way out.
Therefore, Yu Ke planned three retreats for himself, and he must ensure that he can get rid of the pursuers.
The first is to go from the front door, that is, the noon gate, with Yu Ke's force, unless he encounters a top master, no one can stop him.
What's more, there are revolvers in Yu Ke's mustard seed space, eleven or twelve, and after the fight, you don't even need to change the bullets, just change the gun.
With such a sharp weapon, who can stop him?
After going out from the front gate, he rode directly south and rushed out of Beijing City.
As long as you go out of the city, the sky is naturally high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish can swim, Yu Ke doesn't believe that anyone else can catch him.
The second is to kill directly to the back of the palace, from the imperial garden to the northwest corner tower.
Jump over the wall from the corner tower, then head northwest and out of the palace.
The third is to kill directly to the southeast of the palace, and if the Donghua Gate is not closed, kill directly from the Donghua Gate.
If the Donghua Gate is closed, he will kill the corner tower next to the Donghua Gate and jump down from the corner tower over the wall.
Then galloped all the way to the east and came to the wharf of the Tongzhou Grand Canal, which is where Yu Ke was at this time.
This was the last retreat he had arranged for himself.
Yu Ke had to store a horse in the inns in all directions around the palace.
After killing out of the palace, he rode directly on a horse and fled the capital without stopping.
When the time comes, the wanted portrait of Yu Ke, an assassin, will soon spread to the world.
This is also one of the reasons why Yu Ke wants to make up as a Taoist priest.
Of course, Yu Ke's makeup is not as simple as putting on two mustaches and wearing a wig.
He also painted some markings on his face, glued two fake moles, and glued his double eyelids into a single eyelid.
The eyebrows are also covered with a fake layer to make the eyebrows look thick.
In addition, Yu Ke, as a master of the marrow refining marrow, has almost reached the extreme level of mastery of his muscles that a human can do.
He can control the muscles of his face slightly, so that his facial features look different from the original.
So many things add up, so that Yu Ke can be said to be like two people before and after makeup.
A bald young man under twenty years old, full of muscles, and a fairy wind dao bone, who looked nearly thirty years old.
Except for the same height, how can the two not be linked in other aspects, right?
