Chapter 352: Closing the Net
Xin Yu adjusted the position of walking forward without a trace.
Just when he looked at the old man, a picture appeared in front of him, and the old man suddenly fell, and the bamboo basket in his hand was thrown out, and a chicken flew out of it.
Then the cold light flickered, and the man with the umbrella, who was alarmed by this sudden change, revealed the dagger hidden in his sleeve and threw himself in one direction.
She has a different pupil that can see the unfortunate things that are about to happen to others, but she can't see herself, and she has never been the protagonist in the picture.
However, that doesn't mean she can't plan for herself.
Although she is not in the picture, you can see the direction in which the man with the umbrella swooped down, which is exactly where she would have walked when she walked forward. Now, she can slightly shift her path to one side to take control of the situation when the other person moves.
These thoughts sound like a long story, but in fact they are just a flash of thought. Xin Yu passed by the old man and approached the man holding the ink umbrella step by step.
At this moment, an exclamation sounded, and the old man slipped as in the picture, and the bamboo basket came out of his hand.
Because Xin Yu moved slightly to the right, the oncoming man with an umbrella naturally shifted to this side for her goal. In this way, the chicken that struggled to fly out of the bamboo basket did not just alarm the man as in the picture, but flew towards him.
The dagger hidden in the sleeve of the man holding the umbrella appeared, and without blinking, he picked up the chicken flying over, and then walked towards Xinyu.
And Xin Yu got this time difference without arousing suspicion, and shouted while running with his legs: "Help-"
The man quickly caught up.
At this moment, a team of Jinlinwei passed by, and the person led shouted: "What's the matter?" ”
The man with the dagger was stunned at his feet, decisively giving up the assassination and fleeing in one direction.
"There are gangsters!"
"Chase, don't let him run!"
There were angry shouts from the officers and soldiers behind him, and the man didn't look back, his feet were fast, and he threw those chasing footsteps farther and farther.
A few Jin Linwei who stayed behind recognized Xin Yu: "Why is Miss Xin you?" You okay? ”
"The man is going to kill me!" The bamboo umbrella had already fallen to the ground, and the drizzle hit the girl's cheeks, making her look even more embarrassed, "That old man can testify!" ”
Following the direction of her finger, the old man was still sitting on the ground and did not get up.
The person didn't break, mainly because he was scared.
When the two Jin Linwei came over, the old man was even more afraid, and hurriedly explained: "It has nothing to do with the old man, who knows that if it's just a chicken flying over, that person will kill someone!" ”
How can there be such a person??
"Don't be afraid, uncle, you are a witness, you have to go back with us first." Jin Linwei comforted the old man.
A Jinlinwei picked up the umbrella and propped it up to the top of Xin Yu's head: "Miss Xin, don't catch a cold in the rain." ”
"Thank you." Xin Yu took the bamboo umbrella and looked in the direction of the killer's escape.
As soon as he saw Jin Linwei appear, he did not hesitate to give up the assassination, which shows that the order that the killer gets, not to expose is the first place.
And that's exactly what she and Master He wanted.
What she can do has been done, and the next thing is up to Lord He.
Under the cover of night, the man walked through the alleys and completely shook off the Jinlinwei who was chasing behind.
He didn't dare to be careless, and went around several more times before cautiously going to his residence.
The ink clouds in the sky flowed, covering the stars and moon, and He Qingxiao watched the man flash into a private house with his own eyes, and his eyes were full of coldness.
He is no stranger to this area, it is the place where the Zhangshoufu people live.
The Zhang family is a big clan in the south, and the foundation is not in the capital, but Zhang Shoufu has been an official in Beijing for many years, and the people from the south continue to come, and gradually take root and flourish.
It is not as convenient for Wenchen to train killers as military generals, so it is not surprising that he is kept in the clan as ordinary servants.
This kind of person is usually low-key and will not attract the attention of outsiders, if it weren't for He Qingxiao who chased him directly, returning to his own territory after completing the task would be like a fish in water, and it would be difficult to find it.
Especially in the gathering place of important ministers like Zhang Shoufu, ordinary officials will not rush to bother when handling cases and arresting them. And now, it's convenient for Jin Linwei to act.
The team of Jinlinwei who appeared on the street was just to paralyze the killer, and the task of really tracking down the killer was done by He Qingxiao himself.
Now that he has chased to the place, He Qingxiao calmly ordered his subordinates: "Go and transfer people." ”
The men took the order and soon disappeared into the night.
He Qingxiao stood quietly, like a sculpture without emotion. But he knew very well in his heart that after dawn, the government and the opposition would be stormy.
Zhang Yuchen's residence is no different from this large and small private house, but it is close to Zhang's mansion, which is not only convenient for him to go to Zhang's mansion to discuss matters, but also a manifestation of Zhang Shoufu's attention.
At this time, Zhang Yuchen's study was always lit, and he sat alone in the room, his expression was bright and dark as the candle flame flickered, and he was tense.
After a while he stood up, walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked out.
The light outside is dim, the shadows of flowers and trees are abundant, and the sound of rain hitting plantains is clear to the ears, which makes people more irritable.
For the sake of safety, he did not arrange for anyone else to keep an eye on him, and it is still unknown whether the assassination was successful.
This is a rule he has set, and he must not come to him as soon as he completes his task, so as not to attract attention.
Tomorrow, tomorrow he will know.
Zhang Yuchen comforted himself like this, but the anxiety in his heart did not diminish at all.
This time it is different from doing it to Queen Xin. At that time, it was a knife to kill people, and if you succeeded, you would get benefits, and if you failed, you would not be implicated. And now, with the murderous knife in your own hands, one careless can be in trouble.
But after thinking about it, the one sent out is the most powerful, and Zhang Yuchen told himself intellectually that there would be no problem.
Even if you fail, it's still okay to get out. It's just that she may have to face the emperor's wrath and Jin Linwei's strict investigation next, and the girl is also on guard, and it will not be easy to find another opportunity to start.
A gentle knock on the door sounded, and Zhang Yuchen's heart tightened.
Soon a familiar voice came: "Master, don't you sleep yet?" ”
Zhang Yuchen relaxed, walked over and opened the door.
Outside the study is Zhang Yuchen's wife, Wang.
Wang is a native of Beijing, with a gentle temperament, outstanding appearance, a very affectionate relationship between husband and wife, and there has been no mess in the backyard for many years of marriage.
Seeing his wife, Zhang Yuchen's expression became gentle: "I fell asleep." ”
And when most people fell asleep, the house He Qingxiao was staring at had been surrounded by Jinlin Wei's airtight wind.
The wind and rain were intertwined, the cold was pressing, and the Jinlinwei who surrounded the house waited silently for orders, and their eyes were amazingly bright.
Even if they are used to doing big things, tonight's battle is rare, enough to be exciting and important.
"Your Excellency, you're ready."
He Qingxiao nodded and walked to the door of the house: "Knock the door open." ”
After receiving the order, several Jinlin guards stepped forward without hesitation and slammed the door open.
He Qingxiao was the first to walk in.
