Chapter 54: Assassination
In fact, Xu Hanliang can also see that Chong Xiuwen is indeed not a person in the rivers and lakes.
After knowing himself, he has already revealed his identity, but anyone who is in the rivers and lakes will be more vigilant in his heart.
And when you go out, you go out, and you also bring a maid, which is indeed the style of some children of the family.
But compared to those gentlemen, it's already very good.
After continuing to talk to Chong Xiuwen for a few words, Xu Hanliang left.
The two were ready to continue performing, and Xu Hanliang waited until dusk to call the two back.
After all, it is definitely too late to rent a set of annexes.
Tomorrow will find them a place to stay in the city.
After doing these things, Xu Hanliang hurried to the academy.
The second elder is also a little anxious now, Xu Hanliang has come half an hour later than before.
Xu Hanliang didn't tell the second elder about the things he encountered on the road, but only said that it was because of family matters, so he delayed time.
……
After playing chess with the second elder, the sky was gradually darkening.
After Xu Hanliang came out of the academy, he was ready to go to find the master and servant first.
After a day of chess, my head was a little groggy.
At dusk, the daylight is a little dark, perhaps because of the rain, and the weather is dreary and tight.
After being tempered by the twilight and daylight, the dark clouds of the Dao Dao formed a series of fiery clouds.
Xu Hanliang patted his head, wanting to sober himself up a little.
Xu Hanliang shook his body and slowly stepped out of the gate, while a carriage slowly drove from a distance.
Faced with the carriage like a turtle crawling, Xu Hanliang didn't care.
Just as he walked towards the bluestone street, the sound of "rack" suddenly sounded in his ears.
On the next side, the speed of the carriage, which was originally moving slowly, surged, but it came to Xu Hanliang in the blink of an eye.
But fortunately, after so many days of training, Xu Hanliang's reaction ability was also much faster, and his body flashed to the side suddenly.
At the same time, he could feel the strong wind hanging from the galloping carriage.
Xu Hanliang, who was still a little drowsy in his head, had already sobered up in an instant, and was shocked into a cold sweat.
glanced sharply into the distance, but found that the person on the carriage showed half of his face, and his eyes happened to be on Xu Hanliang.
There seemed to be a bit of regret in the gloomy eyes.
If it weren't for this gloomy gaze, Xu Hanliang would definitely have thought that this was an accident.
But the clear words in his ears just now still echoed in his mind.
"Xie Yuangong, what's wrong?"
There happened to be a servant at the entrance of the academy, and after seeing this scene, he hurriedly stepped forward.
Xu Hanliang is one of the cards of the entire young generation of scholars in Changshu, and if something happens to him, the county magistrate will definitely blame him, especially in their presence.
Although Xu Hanliang was already in a cold sweat, he still waved his hand, but his gaze was still fixed on the carriage in the distance.
Although I didn't see the whole face of the person who was driving just now, just a look at him could tell that this person was not a good person.
And the murderous aura surging on that person's body could be felt that his purpose this time should be to come over and kill himself.
"It's okay, I had some small accidents."
Xu Hanliang waved his hand and spoke.
He didn't have any evidence in his hand now, so it was impossible to say that the man was deliberately trying to hit him.
"What are you doing here?"
Xu Hanliang looked at the two officials and asked with some doubts.
"The thing you asked the county magistrate to find before, but the lord has already found it first, and someone has indeed created that artifact."
When the official heard this, he hurriedly replied.
"Found it?"
Xu Hanliang was a little surprised, but this also proved that his previous guess was indeed correct.
"Although I found it, it may be difficult to find the murderer."
"The person who made this artifact according to the blacksmith said he spoke with a Bianliang accent should be from Tokyo."
The official nodded, and then replied.
"People from Tokyo?" Xu Hanliang was a little surprised.
If it is a local person who committed the crime, then it is very easy to find.
But if it is a person from other places who commits the crime, then looking for it in this era is actually tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, the opposite side is a person from Tokyo, such a feature also makes Xu Hanliang a little puzzled.
Then why did the people of Tokyo come all the way here to kill a county official who had already stepped down?
Then he asked, "Is there a portrait?" ”
"It's true that the artist has made a copy of the portrait, but the portrait may be far from the real thing."
As he spoke, the official pulled out a portrait from his pocket.
After seeing those portraits, Xu Hanliang finally knew why the official said so.
Ancient painters themselves are not heavy-minded, and there is no professional suspect sketch like modern times.
But Xu Hanliang noticed the characteristics of the person above the portrait, this person's eyes are very special, with an inverted triangular eye, and his gaze is fierce and fierce.
When he saw these eyes, Xu Hanliang suddenly remembered the person he had just seen driving, and that person's eyes seemed to be a pair of inverted triangles.
And the fierceness in his eyes is even worse than in the portrait.
Xu Hanliang himself is unforgettable, not only for words, but also for what happened.
So with just one glance, he could be sure that what he had just remembered was correct.
"Kill people?"
Xu Hanliang said to himself in a voice like a mosquito.
"What?"
The official on the side asked suspiciously.
Xu Hanliang shook his head: "It's nothing, just thinking of something." ”
"It's a little late now, and when I get to the county office tomorrow, I'll go to the county office."
Xu Hanliang handed the portrait to the official and continued.
When the official heard this, he was puzzled, but he didn't say much.
Along the way, Xu Hanliang kept recalling the eyes of the person just now, deepening his self-memory.
He could be sure that if he could see that man again, he would be sure of that man at a glance.
Xu Hanliang didn't understand, why did the person who killed the county magistrate of Wu County find him?
If it's just because he gave a way to find him, then this is a bit too unreasonable.
If he had known about this, he would have fled a long time ago, instead of coming back to find himself and continue his search.
Unless his purpose this time is to kill himself!
Thinking of this, Xu Hanliang felt a little chilled.
"Brother Xu, why don't you look good."
While thinking about it, he had already come to the bank of the Qinchuan River.
After seeing Xu Hanliang's expression, Xiuwen immediately asked with some doubts.
