Chapter 457: Assassination
For finding a suitable excuse to get out of the city, Qin Luming was also a little difficult for a while.
Not to mention that their Qin family is now a thorn in the side of the imperial court and Zongzheng Temple, even if their Qin family is not remembered by these two parties, it is impossible for him to leave Jinling City without a suitable reason as the criminal department secretary of the southern capital.
"Qin Shangshu, can't you find a reason as the secretary of the criminal department?"
Seeing Qin Luming's embarrassed face, the ghost doctor couldn't help frowning.
And An Su immediately stared at him with suspicion.
Just when Qin Luming was racking his brains, Qin Shaoyan suddenly stood up.
"The reason is simple."
Seeing this, everyone in the Qin family all looked at Qin Shaoyan, and they had also thought carefully before.
But no one on the scene could think of a suitable reason.
"Oh, Miss Qin, what's your idea?"
Li Yi didn't expect Qin Shaoyan to be able to come up with a good idea.
"Dad, in a few days it will be grandpa's eighties, and we can use this reason to go out of the city."
Qin Shaoyan told her own method.
"That's right! How could I not have thought of it! ”
Qin Luming couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, so he patted his thigh and said.
"But the eldest brother will really let go of the court with this reason?"
Qin Luyuan said with some concern.
If Qin Luming's father is still alive now, they may be able to leave the city under the pretext of their eighty birthday.
But using eighty years of life as an excuse always feels a bit deliberate.
"Second uncle, you don't understand that the excuses we make don't need to be reasonable, we just need them to find no reason to refute them."
Qin Shaoyan directly pointed out the key points.
"Shaoyan is right, the Dayu Dynasty has always pursued a hundred virtues and filial piety first, and now we propose to return to our hometown to celebrate the longevity, in the final analysis, it is also filial piety, even if someone wants to obstruct the imperial court, we must consider decency."
Qin Luming's face, which had been suffering, finally stretched out completely.
"In order to prevent long nights and dreams, big brother, I will join you tomorrow to ask for leave from the Ministry of Officials."
Qin Lu also said excitedly at this time.
"That's right, without further ado, we'll pack up our things tonight, and we'll leave at once after you ask for leave early tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, everyone in the Qin family nodded one after another, and then went back to their house to pack their things.
And Li Yi also took An Su and the ghost doctor back to the house they occupied before, and told everyone about the alliance with the Qin family.
"Li Yi, since we have formed an alliance with the Qin family, the most important thing now is to protect the safety of everyone in the Qin family, especially the two brothers Qin Luming and Qin Luye."
Mr. Shangyang said immediately after listening to Li Yi's story.
"Mr. Shangyang, what do you mean by that? Could it be that someone would do something to the two brothers? ”
Li Yi could see from Mr. Shangyang's serious expression that something was unusual.
"Think about it, once Qin Luming and Qin Luye brothers are killed, what reason does the Qin family have to leave Jinling City openly?"
Mr. Shangyang explained.
Li Yi and the others were immediately shocked when they heard this.
They thought about it carefully, it was indeed as Mr. Shangyang said, once Qin Luming and Qin Luye brothers were killed, it would be difficult for the Qin family to attract the attention of outsiders.
At that time, whether it is the imperial court or the Zongzheng Temple, they can be easily wiped out completely, and it will not cause much turmoil.
"Mr. Shangyang, are you thinking too much, the Qin family is going to go to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow to ask for a break, will someone assassinate them this night?"
An Su said disapprehantly.
"Anjun, it's too easy for you to think about the problem!"
At this time, Hai Yin also slowly spoke.
"We only formed an alliance with the Qin family tonight, and the matter of escaping from Jinling City tomorrow was also decided just now, can the opponents of the Qin family be unpredictable?"
The ghost doctor also didn't believe that there would be assassins coming to assassinate Qin Luming and Qin Luye tonight.
"It's impossible to predict the prophet, but according to what you said, the princess of Chengping used to be the wife of the second master of the Qin family, how can you ensure that the Qin family does not have someone she installed?"
Hai Yin's words were like a cold wind blowing through everyone's hearts, and everyone couldn't help but tremble when they heard the words.
"But the servants and servants of the Qin family have all been transferred away by Princess Chengping, and the rest are the Qin family, will they still betray their own family?"
At this time, Qi Chao thought that what Mr. Shangyang and Haiyin said was too exaggerated.
"Everyone in the Qin family is the Qin family? Qi Gongzi's words are too absolute! ”
Mr. Shangyang stroked his beard and said.
"The people of the Qin family are not the Qin family? It can't be! ”
Although it was a little awkward to say, Qi Ning also felt that Mr. Shangyang's words were very unreasonable.
"I understand, what Mr. Shangyang means by saying that among the wives and concubines of the Qin family, there may be undercover agents placed by Princess Chengping!"
Mu Qingliang, as the prince of Qi, has long heard of these rights and intrigues.
At the same time, he also heard that many vassal kings and wives and concubines in the family murdered their husbands for various reasons.
"In this case, we have to get rid of these undercover agents hiding in the shadows before we go."
When Li Yi heard this, he also felt that Mr. Shangyang and Haiyin's analysis was very reasonable.
So he went to find Qin Luming alone.
At this time, Qin Luming was packing things with his wife in the house, and suddenly he heard a knock on the door.
Just as he was about to ask who the other party was, Li Yi's voice came faintly.
"Qin Shangshu, don't speak, you immediately call your wife and daughter, as well as Qin Shilang's father and son, and go with me."
As soon as Qin Luming heard Li Yi say this, he immediately frowned.
"Gongzi Li, we have a word first, you are going to lead everyone in our Qin family to escape from Jinling City."
Qin Luming thought that Li Yi was planning to quietly take his brothers and two families to escape from Jinling City at night.
"Qin Shangshu, don't worry, I haven't forgotten our agreement, but tonight it is likely that an assassin will come to assassinate you and Qin Shilang, so I have to set a trap and wait for the other party to drill into it."
Li Yi then explained.
Qin Luming finally breathed a sigh of relief after understanding Li Yi's intentions.
He was now very worried that Li Yi would break his previous agreement.
"There is one more thing, Qin Shangshu, try not to alarm the rest of the Qin family!"
"What do you mean by that?"
As soon as Qin Luming heard Li Yi say this, he immediately frowned.
"That princess Chengping was also a member of the Qin family before, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no undercover agents left by her in the Qin family, in order to ensure your safety, you had better not startle the snake."
Li Yi directly told Mr. Shangyang and Haiyin's analysis just now.
Qin Luming was immediately stunned when he heard this.
After a while, he still nodded, then turned around and went to look for Qin Luye, father and son.
Not long after, Qin Luye, Qin Shaojie, and Qin Shaoyan had already gathered in Qin Luming's room.
"Have you ever alarmed others?"
As soon as Li Yi saw the three of them, he immediately asked.
"Without me, it was my eldest brother who lived alone, and when he came to look for me, I didn't see a single person."
Qin Lu also spoke.
"I didn't alarm anyone either."
Qin Shaoyan also said.
"I also didn't alarm others, I checked the situation outside just now, and I didn't even go back to my room."
Qin Shaojie continued.
"In that case, you guys come with me first!"
Then Li Yi took Qin Luming and Qin Luye's family to where they were.
As soon as they arrived at Li Yi's residence, Qin Luming and Qin Lu couldn't help but be surprised.
As officials of the Criminal Department, they also meet all kinds of people every day.
So they still have some experience in looking at people.
Therefore, when they saw Li Yi's subordinates, they immediately judged that most of them were ruthless people.
Not to mention Xu Yan and the others, they were shocked beyond words when they saw Yu Zhenlei.
That's not to say that they haven't seen someone as tall and mighty as Yu Zhenlei.
It's just that they felt that sense of oppression in Yu Zhenlei's body.
This sense of oppression can only be felt in those murderous generals.
And compared to Yu Zhenlei, Mi Yiren does not look very outstanding.
But Qin Luming and Qin Luye, the two brothers, felt the killing intent deep into his bone marrow.
Especially when Mi Yiren looked at the two of them, the killing intent that seemed to be like nothing made them stop.
"Now I also ask Qin Shangshu and Qin Shilang and Young Master Qin to take off their robes outside."
Li Yi then said as he unbuttoned his outer robe.
Qin Luming immediately understood his intentions.
"Li Gongzi, aren't you putting yourself in a dangerous situation by doing this?"
Although he knew that Li Yi's martial arts were strong, he still said with some concern.
"Don't worry! Since we have promised to protect you Qin family, we will definitely do it, and as for your worries, it is too much to worry about. ”
Li Yi smiled and handed his robe to Qin Shaojie.
Seeing this, Qin Shaojie immediately took off his robe.
Then Qin Luming and Qin Lu also took off their robes.
And Ansu and the ghost doctor also exchanged robes with them.
Soon, everyone's costume change was completed, and Li Yi even made his hair bun look like Qin Shaojie.
If you look at it from a distance, it is basically exactly the same as Qin Shaojie.
Then Li Yi took the ghost doctor and An Su and swaggered back to the courtyard where everyone in the Qin family lived.
At the same time, Mi Yiren, Yu Zhenlei, Qi Chao, Xu Yan and others also followed and hid in the shadows.
"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed."
Soon, the lights of the houses around the moon and the sky were turned off one after another, and everyone in the Qin family finally fell asleep one after another after working for more than an hour.
And Qin Luming and Qin Luye's houses still have lights on.
An Su and the ghost doctor pretended to be busy in the house.
As for Li Yi, he came to Qin Shaojie's house, walking back and forth outside, as if he was guarding the safety of the Qin family.
At the same time, a figure in the courtyard of the Qin family quietly opened the window, and then the person gently threw a pigeon out.
When the man was done, she quietly returned to her bed and pretended to be asleep.
Not long after this person released the pigeon, more than a dozen men in night clothes appeared outside the Jinling Mansion.
Each of them carried a short sword in his hand, and a bow and crossbow behind him.
These men walked quickly to the wall of the Jinling Mansion, and then in groups of two, they took each other's hands, and the third immediately rushed forward, and then stepped on their hands and jumped up the wall.
The next two men then bent over the wall, and the other stepped on the man's back and went up to the wall.
The last of the remaining men leaped forward with the force of their lunge, then grabbed their companion on the wall by the ankle and quickly climbed over it.
After only a moment's effort, the dozen or so men quietly fell into the courtyard.
"Tonight's action must be clear to everyone, we don't need to kill tonight, just kill Qin Luming and Qin Luye, and if we encounter Qin Shaojie, we can also get rid of them."
The black-clothed man in the lead made a gesture of wiping his neck on his neck.
"Understood!"
The black-clothed men immediately nodded, and then they all went towards the location of Qin Luming's room.
"I didn't expect to be really fed by Mr. Shangyang and Haiyin."
Qi Chao, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he found these black-clothed people.
"Yes, it seems that our Qin family does have internal ghosts."
At this time, Qin Shaojie was by Qi Chao's side.
Originally, he was supposed to stay with his father and uncle's family.
But Qin Shaojie had to follow Qi Chao and the others, he wanted to see if someone would really come to assassinate their Qin family tonight.
Now that the facts are in front of him, he has to believe it.
"It's nothing! As long as you can find out the inner ghost, it's fine. ”
Qi Chao patted Qin Shaojie's shoulder and comforted.
Just when Qin Shaojie and Qi Chao sighed, those black-clothed people had already come to the outside of Qin Luming's room.
At this time, they could see through the window that Qin Luming's figure in the house was still rummaging through the cabinets.
At the same time, they also found Li Yi walking back and forth with a long sword.
"Qin Shaojie, this kid used to be in the camp when he couldn't hold up the wall, but I didn't expect that when the Qin family was in trouble, he would be able to come to the vigil in person regardless of his personal safety."
One of the men in black whispered.
"Yes! This kid used to always rely on his family background to bully people, and today Lao Tzu wants to cut off his head himself to dissipate his anger. ”
One of the men in black, who had obviously had a holiday with Qin Shaojie, said viciously.
"Okay, then Qin Shaojie will be handed over to you, and the rest of the people will immediately divide into two ways to kill Qin Lu one way, and go in to kill Qin Luming with the other way."
After the black-clothed man who took the lead gave an order, he quietly walked towards Qin Luming's room.
At the same time, the man in black who said that he was going to cut off Qin Shaojie's head before also began to tiptoe towards the direction where Li Yi was.
Immediately, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and the heart of the man in black also beat wildly.
When he lurked less than five meters away from Li Yi, the corners of his mouth already showed a cruel smile.
"Boy, I want your life today!"
The man in black muttered to himself, and then quickly stabbed Li Yi into the back of the heart with a dagger in his hand.
"It's coming! Soon! Approached ······"
Immediately, the dagger in his hand was getting closer and closer to Li Yihou's heart, and the mood of the man in black was also getting more and more excited.
But just when his back was about to touch Li Yi's back, suddenly a spear came out from Li Yi's armpit and directly pierced the man's throat.
