Chapter 155: A Woman Disguises as a Man
After listening to Zhuang Jing'an's explanation, Yun Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Not to mention officialdom, even in any organization, no leader is willing to use this kind of subordinate who digs holes for himself and makes trouble.
However, after listening to Zhuang Jing'an's explanation, Yun Yi had a deeper understanding of Qian Kun's motives for killing Liu Gengnian.
This money master book was first parachuted by Liu Gengnian to rob the throne of the county order, and later because of Liu Gengnian's tax and silver case, the possibility of promotion was cut off.
Put yourself in your shoes, let alone Qian Kun, if such a big feud is encountered, it is estimated that he will find a way to kill Liu Gengnian to vent his anger.
Although Yun Yi told Zhuang Jing'an about Qingfeng Village, he kept an eye on Tang Sai'er's intention to assassinate Liu Gengnian and did not reveal it to the outside world.
Now that the assassination is on the way, even if he tells Zhuang Jing'an about the situation, it is estimated that it will not change Tang Sai'er's determination.
If the news is leaked again because of this, causing Liu Gengnian to be prepared, it is estimated that Tang Sai'er will really die tonight.
When the carriage reached the junction in front of the Anhe Bridge, it slowly stopped.
Just when Yunyi was puzzled, the voice of the county magistrate Liu Gengnian came from outside the carriage.
"Mr. Zhuang, the front is quite crowded, and the carriage is not expected to move forward, so why don't you walk with the students?"
Hearing Liu Gengnian's explanation outside the carriage, Zhuang Jingan did not object.
So Yun Yi lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
"Student Yunyi, I've seen Lord Liu."
After getting off the station, Yun Yi saluted Liu Gengnian who was standing on the side of the road.
Liu Gengnian thought that Zhuang Jing'an was sitting in the carriage, but when he saw that it was Yun Yi who jumped down, he was stunned at first, and then returned to normal.
He first nodded to Yun Yi, and then enthusiastically stepped forward to help Zhuang Jing'an, who was getting out of the car.
In fact, Liu Gengnian knew in his heart that as long as Yun Yi had the identity of Zhuang Jing'an's disciple, he couldn't do anything to Yun Yi.
Since he couldn't suppress Yun Yi, he naturally didn't need to have a bad relationship with Yun Yi.
The reason why he had to send someone to Zhuang Mansion to report on the matter outside the city last time was just to want Zhuang Jing'an to be a favor.
After Zhuang Jing'an got out of the carriage, the group walked towards the Anhe Bridge together.
Walking in the front, it is naturally Zhuang Jingan and Liu Gengnian, and behind the two, followed by Yun Yi, Zhuang Xinyan and the chief bookkeeper Qian Kun.
When Qian Kun saw Yun Yi getting off Zhuang Jing'an's carriage, he just nodded at him without a trace, and then followed Liu Gengnian as if nothing happened.
Behind a few people, there were more than a dozen county officials.
All of them were heavily armed, with swords and bows and arrows behind them.
No matter how you look at this kind of battle, it doesn't look like participating in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, but like going up the mountain to suppress bandits.
Ever since he saw the bows and arrows behind these messengers, Yun Yi's heart began to sink uncontrollably.
With Tang Sai'er's current physical condition, even if he can successfully assassinate him, he may not be able to escape from these bows and arrows.
When everyone walked to Anhe Bridge, Yunyi grabbed Zhuang Jingan's arm in front of Zhuang Xinyan, but Zhuang Xinyan was puzzled.
However, because Yun Yi's strength was greater than her, although she was puzzled in her heart, she didn't say anything.
Zhuang Jing'an, who was held by Yun Yi's arm, turned his head and glanced at Yun Yi meaningfully.
Yunyi's left arm was injured through the penetration, and after this period of recuperation, it has now scabbed, but it does not affect his daily movements.
He had already made up his mind that when he got off the bridge later, he would find a way to deliberately delay for a while, so that Zhuang Jing'an and Liu Gengnian could distance themselves somewhat.
Because the Anhe Bridge is only a small stone bridge that is not spacious, and there are many people standing on it to admire the moon.
So when Yunyi and others got on the bridge, they basically blocked the entire bridge deck.
Because Yun Yi deliberately pressed the pace, all the servants of the yamen were blocked behind by a few people.
Since he started to go on the bridge, Yunyi began to secretly look for Tang Sai'er.
But until he reached the top of the arch bridge, he did not find the red shadow.
Could it be that she is ready to give up?
Or did you say something unexpected?
As everyone walked down the Anhe Bridge step by step, Yunyi's mood began to gradually become troubled.
Until he was about to finish the steps down the bridge, Yun Yi still didn't find Tang Sai'er.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a slender scholar not far away, slowly walking towards this side step by step.
Looking at each other, Yun Yi recognized at a glance that this was Tang Sai'er dressed as a man.
Seeing Tang Sai'er's dress, Yun Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It is a very common scene for students to approach Zhuang Jing'an, so it should not arouse Liu Gengnian's vigilance.
But then Yun Yi became worried about Tang Sai'er again.
After all, there is still a group of heavily armed officers standing on the bridge!
Ever since he discovered Tang Sai'er's figure, Yun Yi glanced at Qian Kun, the main bookkeeper next to him.
However, at this time, Qian Kun had already lost his indifference just now, like an ant on a hot pot, looking left and right.
Seeing that this guy was in such a hurry, Yun Yi was even more sure that he was uneasy and kind.
Although he had already discovered Tang Sai'er's figure, in order to avoid being discovered by Qian Kun, he still restrained himself from looking at her.
Just when Yunyi helped Zhuang Jing'an down the bridge, and those government officials were still blocked on the bridge, Tang Sai'er, who looked like a scholar, finally began to start.
I saw her arm shake, and a long knife wrapped in a white cloth appeared in the air.
By the time the long knife was fully revealed, Tang Sai'er's right hand was already on the hilt.
With a coquettish shout, Tang Sai'er's figure suddenly moved forward, and after passing a few pedestrians, he came to a distance a few steps in front of Liu Gengnian.
Since Tang Sai'er took out the long knife when he came, Yun Yi directly took Zhuang Jing'an and stepped back.
Such a retreat would not only prevent the pond fish from being affected, but also block all the yamen officers on the bridge.
The eyes of the surrounding pedestrians originally fell on Zhuang Jingan and Liu Gengnian.
At this time, when I saw such a scene, I was immediately frightened, and I began to flee in all directions.
Since there were originally many pedestrians on the Anhe Bridge, after this chaos, the pedestrians on the bridge suddenly began to retreat to the rear.
With the surging crowd, those yamen officers were surrounded by personnel and forcibly retreated to the rear.
"Dog officer, suffer death!"
With a coquettish shout, Tang Sai'er's long knife raised high cut through the air and slashed towards Liu Gengnian's neck.
I don't know if the body has not fully recovered, at the moment when the long knife was chopped, Tang Sai'er's body stagnated for a moment.
At the same time, Liu Gengnian was also so frightened that he fell directly to the ground.
By chance, Tang Sai'er's fatal knife slashed the stone bridge.
With a flash of sparks, Liu Gengnian on the ground also rolled around on a donkey and hurriedly dodged.
missed the blow, but Tang Saier did not give up.
After collecting the knife, she turned around and chased after Liu Gengnian, who was still rolling on the ground.
Seeing that Tang Sai'er had chased closer, Liu Gengnian hurriedly prepared to turn over and escape.
But this time he didn't have the luck he had just now.
With a scream, Tang Sai'er's long knife slashed down from Liu Gengnian's span.
