Chapter 134: The Assassination of Shousuke

Chapter 134 Shousuke is assassinated

"Mengshan, they may have already succeeded."

A scholar-like man left the window facing the street of the Gongzi Restaurant in Gongxian Hutong and returned to the private seat on the second floor. While knocking on the folding fan in his hand, he said to the woman who was sitting at the table making tea.

"Oh? It is said that Mr. Fan is a well-known person. Mr. Zheng Xiangzu, you are sitting in this Beijing master, and you know the things outside the city. The woman looked disbelieving, but when she handed over the teacup, she intentionally or unintentionally brushed the wrist of Mr. Zheng.

Zheng Xiangzu still wanted to grab the woman's hand, but who knew that she rubbed it so lightly intentionally or unintentionally, and then took it back.

"Mr. Zheng bullies." The woman pouted and spoke, and stamped her feet as if she were cooperative.

"Where did I bully you, if Brother Fan heard this, how could I dare to come to the door to drink tea?" Zheng Xiangzu opened the fan, retracted his leaning forward, and leaned back on the back of the chair.

"Isn't that called bullying? How do you know that the Mengshan brothers have succeeded? No little guy came back to tell you, and I didn't see the Jinyi guard of the Beijing division doing anything around. ”

"So that's it." Zheng Xiangzu deliberately had a deflated expression.

The woman's face turned a little red when she boarded, "Mr. Zheng, where did you think of it again?" Really. ”

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. I'll go down to the bookkeeper and see. The woman was a little annoyed, put down the teapot and said.

"Okay, good, how can you have the same stinky temper as your brother." Zheng Xiangzu deliberately beckoned, leaned forward himself, and whispered:

"This Xianzi Hutong is the only way for the imperial hospital to go to the palace and out of the city. Guess why I kept standing at the window just now? Guess what I saw standing at the window? ”

Zheng Xiangzu deliberately sold a pass. Approaching the woman, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the cheeks of the woman named Fan Dongchen on the other side. Facing the noon sun, the fine fluff was clearly visible on the white skin that could be blown and broken, and he was a little sluggish to see.

"Brother Xiao." Fan Dongchen, who was on the other side, suddenly stood up and looked at the people who came over with a smile, which also made Zheng Xiangzu, who was immersed in appreciating the beauty, come to his senses.

"Brother Xiao, Mr. Zheng said that he knew that Mengshan and they had already succeeded."

"Oh!" Xiao Dengku, who had just sat down, stood up again and knocked over the tea bowl with his hand.

"Is Mr. Zheng serious? No, isn't Mr. Zheng sitting in this restaurant like me? Isn't it that Mr. Zheng still has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth? ”

Flirting with beauties is flirting with beauties, but when Xiao Dengku asked, Zheng Xiangzu didn't dare to hide it.

"I know the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, and he is also the imperial doctor of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Youxing."

"Who doesn't know what I said, last time my mother came, my brother also spent a tael of gold to invite Dr. Wu to come over to see my mother's illness." Fan Dongchen just can't get used to Zheng Xiangzu, who is just greedy for his beauty, but he looks down on a woman's virtue in his heart.

"Fan Xiaomei, don't say more, listen to Mr. Zheng." Shawdenku interrupted her.

"If Mr. Zheng's judgment is reasonable, our response is completely different. Mr. Zheng, you continue, my little sister has been spoiled by me and his brother, you don't have to care. After that, he arched his hand at Zheng Xiangzu.

"Just now, Wu Youxing rode a gray horse without a saddle and rushed out of the city gate from here, without even a guard by his side. Tell me about it. Zheng Xiangzu knocked on the table, and then asked mysteriously:

"In this Ming Dynasty, who would let the best imperial doctor in the imperial hospital run wild in the capital like this?"

"Understood, little sister, you sit here and have tea with Mr. Zheng, I'll go out to find Brother Fan."

After that, I didn't take a sip of tea, and hurried downstairs.

And in a private house in Twist Hutong, three miles west of Gongxian Hutong, Wei Zhongxian, who still knew almost nothing about what was happening outside the city, was still in full swing arranging his own street killings.

"Confirm that it is the head of the guard sect on the Fu King's Mansion?" Wei Zhongxian sat steadily on one of the chairs, and next to him sat Zhang Yixian, the eunuch of Dongchang's palm print.

Li Qianhu of the East Factory below said sweatingly under the gaze of the two eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty:

"This is someone personally invited from Luoyang City." Li Qianhu kicked the five-flower tie, and stuffed a hemp core in his mouth to the head of the Fuwang Guardian Sect.

"My subordinates understood, this guy was originally from Luoyang, and he was also a guerrilla in Xuanfu during the Wanli period, and he injured his leg in the battle with the Mongols, so he entered the Fuwang Mansion as a guard under the guarantee of his own family patriarch. Later, King Fu was rescued from the horse again, and King Fu was happy and promoted him to one of the head of the sword and gun sect in charge of the professor's guard in the palace. But this product likes to gamble, and this year alone, he has lost no less than three hundred taels in Luoyang Tongshun Casino. In order to fill the hole, he stole the silver of the fifty-two concubines of the king several times. After being discovered, King Fu gave him thirty canes and drove him out of the house. ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian nodded.

"After a while, Han Ying, Han Shousuke will take this path and go home from the cabinet. Han Shou's auxiliary seat is a sedan chair, and you take a cold shot at Lord Han Ying's sedan chair and the sedan chair man first. When they are caught off guard, you are responsible for personally rushing out with the head of the guard. Before you go out, give the head of the sect a good thing from our East Factory. Then, whether it succeeds or not, you all hurry up and retreat. Do you understand? ”

Li Qianhu nodded. He knew very well that Dongchang was to wipe the emperor's buttocks. Seeing that the big guys in his family closed their eyes and didn't speak, they had to nod their heads.

"Father-in-law Wei, the people have already set off."

Wei Zhongxian nodded, signaling that Li Qianhu could leave and prepare.

He stood on the roof of the street with the eunuch Zhang Yixian.

Standing high, you can see far away, and after a while, under the protection of more than a dozen guards, Han Ying, the first assistant of the cabinet, rode in a sedan chair, from the street that runs from east to west, walked into the Twist Hutong, and walked in his direction.

Whoosh, before the warning whistle sounded, feathered arrows flew towards Han Ying's team from the houses on both sides.

Fortunately, it was difficult for Gonggong Wei to find such a bad level of archers, and the bows and arrows were a little less accurate. Just like that, one of the feathered arrows happened to hit the thigh of a palanquin.

"Oops," the palanquin man staggered and knelt down. Han Ying's sedan chair suddenly lost its balance, and Han Ying, who was taking a nap in the sedan chair, rolled out of the sedan chair directly.

This caught the four personal guards who had rushed to the side of the sedan chair, holding a round shield, and preparing to protect Han Ying. Fortunately, the rain of arrows in the streets and alleys was not dense, leaving time for them to reflexively pounce on him, protect Han Ying with his shield, and withdraw him behind the sedan chair.

"This guard can't do it! This is not yet the use of gunpowder. Wei Zhongxian looked at the guards who were in a hurry and was a little anxious, if he really wanted Han Ying's life, could he wait until now?

"It seems necessary to report this situation to Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian waved his hand, so that the archers on the roof could see for another round.

At this time, Li Qianhu glanced at the fan around him.

One pinched the jawbone of the head of the guard, causing him to open his mouth. Another fan directly clamped the tongue of the guard head with an iron pliers, and pulled it out, and pulled the tongue out. As soon as Li Qianhu waved the dagger in his hand, he cut off the tongue of the head of the guard. Similarly, the three guards under the head of the Guardian Sect also became tongueless with mouths full of blood and screaming in pain. While cutting out the tongue, he also shoved poison into the mouths of the four people.

Then he twisted his hands to untie the rope that bound them, and shoved a short knife into their hands, and then pushed them to the door facing the street, and kicked them out one by one.

"Ahh Yes! ”

These people appeared in front of Han Ying with their hair scattered, their faces covered in blood, holding large knives, and roaring furiously. It startled the guards. There are people on top who shoot arrows, and there are this group of madmen below.

"You escort Lord Han to the corner of the wall behind the sedan chair!"

The escort leader is quite clear, he knows that his alarm has been issued, as long as he holds on for a while, soon the arrest, Jinyi guards, and city defenses will flock to him.

"I'll block the rest." But at this time, he couldn't care about the archers above, and he had to deal with these crazy assassins in front of him first.

"Is the firecracker already?"

Fortunately, although the path of these dead soldiers rushing up was very strange, and one of them was ready to go around in a circle to copy his own back road, but fortunately, the fire gun finally sounded at the next moment.

A total of four rounds of fire were fired from the six firearms, and the four dead men lay on the ground and could not die again.

In the sound of the guards' mournful alarm bamboo flute, Wei Zhongxian took Li Qianhu and appeared at the scene of the assassination for the first time in a dozen fans.
