In the second year of Zhengde, on the first day of the first month, on the outskirts of Qihe County, Jinan Prefecture.

Thirty officials of Jinan Prefecture and twenty masters of the Miaoshou Gate stood like javelins. They all unsheathed their swords.

In front of them knelt two killers. Just now, these two killers wanted to assassinate Wang Shouren, but they were subdued by Chang Feng and Basha.

Wang Yangming lay in the carriage. Chang Feng sat on a tree stump next to the carriage and scolded the two killers: "Whose stupid pig are you? West Factory's? In-house? Jinyi Wei Zhang Cai's subordinates? ”

"I don't call you stupid pigs because you assassinated Mr. Wang. It's because the methods of assassination are full of loopholes! ”

"Pretending to be a beggar to beg, hiding an arrow in his sleeve, looking for an opportunity to assassinate. This is the old method of assassination by the factory guards. There's not much to say. ”

"The question is, don't you use your brains before stabbing you? Mr. Wang suffered a court cane, and his injuries were not healed, so he could only lie in the carriage instead of sitting. You should keep your Hidden Arrows low! ”

"But what about you? Good fellow, shoot all the Hidden Arrows halfway up to the curtain of the carriage. Can you kill an egg? It is a full two feet taller than Mr. Wang's body! ”

"If I am still the handsome man of the Jinyi Guard. Just stupid pigs like you, I would have sent you to the elephants raised by the mahouts!" ”

The wind often spits at the stars, which is quite angry.

Chang Feng took the water bladder handed over by Basha, took a sip, and began to scold the two killers again: "Besides, the poison on your sleeve arrows is not right!" Seeing the poison of the bloody throat will make the arrows blue. ”

"The poison of the delayed onset will blacken the arrows."

"The twelve Hidden Arrows you fired, each of them blackened."

"Your master, Liu Jin, can't get the news of Mr. Wang's death immediately. What do you do with time-delay poison? ”

"Even if you shoot Mr. Wang. I can also take him to Qihe County for healing. ”

"Ahh I'm really convinced! You guys are outrageously stupid! With this ability, you dare to eat secret rice? ”

"After I left the factory guard, the ability of the people in the factory guard is getting worse and worse!"

The two killers were stunned by Chang Feng's wild spray.

One of the killers said: "Ah, Chang Shuaiye's teachings, the little ones have benefited a lot." I'll be next time."

Chang Feng interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "The factory guard killer acts, and there are only two results. Succeed or die. ”

"Do you want to have a second time? Basha. Go ahead and leave them with a whole corpse. ”

Basha said in his heart: I'm not a mad dog, can I still gnaw their corpses? Naturally, the whole corpse is left.

At this moment, Wang Shouren lifted the curtain of the carriage: "Brother Chang, let's let them go." They are also commanded. ”

Chang Feng shook his head: "I can't let it go." Something happened just now, and the officials of Jinan Mansion ran out to help. ”

"If you send them back to the capital. Liu Jin will know that the prefect of Jinan is secretly protecting you. Then the prefect of Jinan will be harmed. ”

Turning his head, Chang Feng made a throat-slitting gesture to Basha.

Basha's hand fell, and the blood of the two killers was splattered on the spot.

Shi Jian, the deputy head of Miaoshou Gate, said to Chang Feng: "Master Chang, this is the first day of the new year. I got some dumplings from the county town. Let's boil water to boil dumplings? ”

Chang Feng was stunned: "Alas, how did I forget, today is the first day of the second year of Zhengde." Old Shi, good New Year, Wishing you prosperity. ”

Shi Jian arched his hand: "Chang Ye has a good New Year." Wishing you prosperity. ”

A group of officials of Jinan Mansion and the masters of Miaoshoumen hugged each other and wished each other a happy New Year.

Chang Feng took out two silver tickets of five hundred taels from his sleeve. handed a head catcher to Jinan Mansion, and then handed Shi Jian.

Chang Feng said: "Give this money to your sons." Just like the New Year's silver I gave them. ”

Smoke rose on the outskirts of Qihe County.

Everyone gathered around the fire and ate half-cooked dumplings. The year is over.

During the rest of the trip, Wang Shouren suffered various assassinations.

There are those who poison the food of the station.

There were those who lay in ambush on the trees and set fires.

There are those who pick up knives and pry doors in the middle of the night to stab them.

There are even dozens of killers who pretend to be bandits and blatantly rob and kill.

Many of the local officials and Miaoshoumen brothers who protected Wang Shouren died.

Wang Shouren is still unharmed.

There are two reasons why Wang Shouren has been able to escape so many assassinations.

First, in terms of secret tailoring, Chang Feng and Basha have long hair on their hands - they are veterans. They are often able to see danger in advance.

Second, the killers were bound by an order from Liu Jin.

This order is: Wang Shouren must be killed, but he is not allowed to move the wind in the slightest. Whoever hurts Changfeng and a hair, I will kill his whole family.

The killers wanted to kill Wang Shouren. It is also necessary to avoid accidentally injuring the wind. Naturally, the efficiency of the assassination was greatly reduced.

For example, the time when the killers lay in ambush on a tree and set fire to it. A gunner had obviously put the door on Wang Shouren's head. Chang Feng was directly protected in front of Wang Shouren.

The gun had no choice but to miss the opportunity.

In a word, it's not that Wang Shouren has a big life, but that he has a talisman by his side.

This talisman is the constant wind.

The group stopped and stopped and arrived outside Hangzhou in early spring.

At this time, Wang Shouren's injury was almost healed. He was finally able to walk on the ground, but he was a little lame.

Chang Feng discussed with Wang Shouren in the carriage: "Brother Shouren, on the next journey, I don't know how many people will kill you." ”

"I can protect you eight times out of ten, but I can't protect you thirty times or fifty times."

Wang Shouren sighed: "Life and death are fateful." If I am killed by the killer sent by Liu Jin, it means that I should be killed. ”

Chang Feng said: "In the nineteenth year of Chenghua, I first joined Jinyiwei. There is an old-timer in Jinyiwei, named Dong Tianbao, who is in the position of the envoy of Beizhen. ”

"Dong Zhenfu has a mantra - my life is up to me, not to the sky!"

"I've come up with a way to silence the killers sent by Liu Jin."

Wang Shouren asked, "What way?" ”

Chang Feng replied: "Commit suicide and cheat to death!" Let's go, enter the city of Hangzhou! ”

Wang Shouren was originally a scholar, and because he was not afraid of power, he became the idol of the Ming scholars.

When he arrived in Hangzhou, the Confucian students in Hangzhou naturally came to visit him and learn from him.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head. Hangzhou scholars set up a scripture discussion meeting by the West Lake and invited Wang Shouren to give a lecture.

Wang Shouren talked eloquently for three full hours. As the sun set, he bowed his hand to the students: "Shouren's lifelong learning has been awarded to you. This farewell is an eternal farewell. ”

A group of Hangzhou scholars felt a little strange when they heard this.

Even if you can't come to Hangzhou anymore, we can still go to Longchang to see you and learn about it.

How did it become a farewell?

One of the gentlemen gave his hand: "Mr. Wang." We have set up a few banquets to entertain the gentleman tonight. Please sir, don't laugh at the thin wine. ”

Chang Feng interjected: "Ah, I'll eat again at the banquet." There is a saying that people have three urgencies, monkey urgency, feces urgency, and urine urgency. Mr. Wang preached the Sutra for three hours. It's time to go to Gongfang. ”

After speaking, Chang Feng supported Wang Shouren to get off the pulpit.

After a pillar of incense, a group of Hangzhou scholars saw a scene in the distance.

Wang Shouren, dressed in white, stood on the shore of West Lake, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his face.

Suddenly, he leaped into the sparkling West Lake.

Chang Feng coaxed among the scholars: "It's terrible! It's too late! Mr. Wang committed suicide by jumping into the lake! ”

"Everyone, go and save him! Mr. Wang doesn't know how to water, and he is about to die! ”

"Mr. Wang, why can't you think about it so much! Woooooo ”

Chang Feng coaxed this together, and the scholars reacted. Rush to the place where "Wang Shouren" threw himself into the lake.

Some water-based scholars jumped into the water and searched everywhere.

After tossing and turning for two moments, the scholars got nothing.

Chang Feng sat paralyzed on the ground, hammering his chest with both hands and crying bitterly: "Mr. Wang! What a miserable death you had! Why can't you think about it, and sacrifice yourself to feed the fat carp in Xizi Lake! ”

"Woooooooooooo Whoa! Wow wow! Boom! ”

Chang Feng cried so much that he even cried out of a dog's bark.

Sadness can be contagious like bacteria multiplying.

All the scholars were infected by Chang Feng's emotions and wept bitterly: "Woo woo! Mr. Wang is the conscience of the Ming literati! Today's conscience sinks in the West Lake, God is unfair! ”

"Whoa! Mr. Wang, the students would like to ask you about teaching again. Why did you just go there? ”

On the shore of Xizi Lake, the cry shook the sky.

Chang Feng "sucked" and snorted, and arched his hand towards the scholars: "Mr. Wang has passed away." His funeral will have to be handled with your help. ”

"I have to do a water and land dojo for three days, and find a monk and Taoist priest to surpass him."

A group of scholars echoed: "That's right! You should overtake Mr. Wang! ”

"I'll give you money!"

"I know Zen Master Fahai of Leiyin Temple! I'm going to ask for a Zen master! ”

"I know the head of the first eyebrow of the Maruko Temple, I'll go and ask the head of the way!"

"I work in the house. I burned the paper man, paper horse, paper crane to Mr. Wang! ”

Chang Feng snorted his big snot and said, "Mr. Wang is my beloved relatives and friends, siblings!" His scenery is lost, I ask you! ”

In fact, it was not Wang Shouren who threw himself into the lake just now.

Basha changed into the same white clothes as Wang Shouren, pretended to be Wang Shouren and jumped into the West Lake.

Basha has excellent water quality, and with a reed pipe, he quietly swam to the "Little Penglai" Lake Center Pavilion in the West Lake.

Chang Feng suddenly pointed to a big stone: "Gentlemen, look, what is that?" ”

A scholar picked up a letter on the stone, only to see that it was written in four big characters: "Shouren Absolute Pen". Apparently a suicide note!

The scholar opened the letterhead and recited Wang Shouren's last words to the crowd.

Roughly speaking, I Wang Shouren used to be obsessed with the pursuit of learning, and I rarely had the opportunity to fulfill my filial piety for my father.

Now he has offended Liu Jin, who is in power all over the world. I am afraid that my father will be implicated.

It is better to die, so that my father will suffer and lose his official position as the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice.

This suicide note makes sense. And all the men believed.

Among the scholars, there is a killer of the factory guard.

The killer secretly rejoiced: Before I could make a move, Wang Shouren threw himself into the lake? It's a no-brainer.

The next day, the shore of West Lake was so lively!

Most of the scholars in Hangzhou were born in families, and they were very rich. This Wang Shouren's transcendent water and land puja (dojo) invited hundreds of monks and hundreds of Taoist priests.

The monks looked at the wooden fish "knock knock, knock knock".

The Taoist priests shook the soul-attracting copper bell.

The monks began to sing the funeral song: "The Dharma will be accomplished, and the relief will be accomplished." The lord of fasting is pious, and he worships with incense. ”

"The sea of bitterness is surging and self-calling, charming and not waking up for half a minute, the world does not read the Mida, and walks in the world in vain!"

"Watching the mountains up close, listening carefully to the silent water, the flowers are still in spring, and the birds are not surprised!"

"In August, the Mid-Autumn Festival geese flew south, a roar and a sadness. The geese will come back, and the dead soul will not return! ”

"I am a Buddha, if I come, I will be coaxed."

Not to be outdone, the Taoist priests also began to sing Taoist funeral songs: "The beautiful scenery of Hangzhou is unparalleled, and the strange flowers and plants on the shore of the West Lake are fragrant in all seasons." The spring trip to Su Causeway is peach and willow green, and the summer lotus flowers are reflected in the pond. ”

"It's too high, old gentleman. Haste as a law! ”

In a horse-drawn carriage in the distance.

Wang Shouren opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing a slit, admiring his "funeral".

Chang Feng on the side said with a smile: "These monks and Taoists are quite lively. I hope that the killer who can deceive the factory guard will stop chasing you. ”

Wang Shouren said with a smile: "I think this funeral is more like a temple fair, it is very lively and interesting." Look, even the three-year-old doll was carried out by adults to watch the excitement. ”

At the same time, in a courtyard house in the city of Hangzhou.

A West Factory Supervisor and an Inner Factory Foreman are discussing secretly.

These two were the specific commanders who went out of Beijing to hunt down Wang Shouren.

The head of the squad said: "Wang Shouren committed suicide by jumping into the lake." Our errand is no longer able to be carried out, you see, let's go back to Beijing? ”

The foreman shook his head: "I think Wang Shouren's death is strange. No one saw his body. Will there be fraud? ”

The head of the squad smiled slightly: "Wang Shouren is followed by Chang Shuaiye." With Chang Shuaiye's methods, pretending to commit suicide is just a piece of cake. ”

"But, we have to think so. With the talisman of Chang Shuaiye by Wang Shouren's side, it is very difficult for us to succeed in the assassination. ”

"I have failed seven times in the front, and I have lost more than thirty brothers."

"If we can't kill Wang Shouren, we can't finish the errand, Gonggong Liu and Gonggong Gu will kill us."

"On the other hand, what if you succeed? Wang Shouren is Chang Shuaiye's best friend. Let's kill him, Chang Shuai Ye will definitely take revenge. ”

"Don't look at Chang Shuaiye, who has lost ground now. It can be 30 years in the east of the river and 30 years in the west of the river. ”

"The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are facing him. The emperor thought about him. The first assistant of the cabinet is still his own family. It is very likely that he will return to power in the future. ”

"Will he be able to spare our brothers then?"

The foreman chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes! After so many years, few people who offend Chang Shuai Ye have a good end. ”

The head said: "In other words, if we can't kill Wang Shouren, we will die, and if we kill Wang Shouren, we will still die." It's a sure death! ”

"Now that Wang Shouren committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake, our brothers have escaped death! It doesn't matter if it's true or not, let's take it as true and return to Beijing to resume our lives. ”

"Everyone has committed suicide and died, who are we going to kill? If you don't return to Beijing at this time, why will you stay? ”

The foreman said: "Yes, yes, yes! We can repay it like this. Let's just say that our seven assassinations made Wang Shouren panic all day, causing him to go crazy for a while and find a short-term view. ”

The foreman clapped his hands: "Brother, wonderful!" In this way, Liu and Gu's father-in-law can make a difference, and we have a credit for nothing. ”

"Wang Shouren is not pressed into the water, and he will not offend Chang Shuaiye."

This pair of Wolong and Phoenix Chicks said a word to you, and finally decided to lead the factory guard killer back to Beijing to restore his life.

High, really high, it makes these two people finished!

History books: In the winter of the first year of Zhengde, Shouren degraded Guizhou Longchang, and Jin wanted to intercept and kill it. After passing through Hangzhou, Shouren threw himself into the lake and died, and Jin gave up.
