"Not dizzy?" The short man sneered.

Lao Wu's face was gloomy: "Want to yin me?" ”

"Sixth, give him another shot." Short man said.

Phew-

Lao Liu picked up the bamboo tube and blew it again.

The flying needle struck, and the man in black wanted to block it, but he didn't have much strength anymore, and he couldn't react in time.

was shot again, and suddenly his strength was discharged, and the man in black fell on his back.

This time, I was really dizzy.

The fifth child also learned to be smart, and said, "Sixth, try him." ”

The sixth threw the bamboo tube over and smashed it on the face of the man in black, without any change.

"Okay."

Lao Wu walked over, unmasked the man in black, and said, "I seem to have seen this person." ”

"He is a personal soldier beside the King of Shu, and he has seen him in the capital before, and he followed the King of Shu at that time." The short man recognized the man at once.

"King Shu?"

The three of them looked at each other and realized that this matter was more than that.

The people of the King of Shu colluded with Gao Cheng, could it be that they were hired by Gao Cheng with heavy money?

Are you kidding.

It is definitely a collusion between the two, Gao Cheng is only afraid that he is the person of the King of Shu, so the King of Shu has always been rich...... There's so much he can do.

"This matter must be reported to the above, I will send a flying pigeon, and you will take this person to a secret place for good interrogation." Short man said.

……

It's late at night.

"Who is this person?"

Xiao Fan was shouted out by Meng Qing, and in the house purchased next door, Meng Qinggang brought a person.

Meng Qing arched his hand: "The lord called me here and told the prince that the capsizing of the grain ship was definitely not what the lord meant." ”

"I know."

Xiao Fan waved his hand: "This doesn't need to be explained, no matter how much Brother Qingshan stands by, it is impossible to help those grain merchants deal with me." ”

Seeing that Xiao Fan did not misunderstand, Meng Qing also breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"This man is one of the helmsmen of the two grain ships."

"And another?" Xiao Fan asked.

Meng Qing said: "There is another person who died, and when we went, Gao Cheng had already planned to kill him, and only saved him." ”

Xiao Fan was puzzled: "Knowing that it's elevation so quickly?" ”

After knowing that he would offend the grain merchants, Xiao Fan knew the details of all the grain merchants, especially near the capital.

This elevation is the No. 1 grain merchant in Gyeonggi and has always cooperated closely with the Gu family in Lantai County.

So Xiao Fan also knew that there was a high probability that this person did it.

But you still have to check it, so as not to kill someone by mistake.

"Xiao Gongzi can ask this person." Meng Qingdao.

Xiao Fan nodded, looked at the helmsman who was already a little delirious, and said:

"Who ordered you to deliberately drive two ships into each other?"

"Yes, it's Master Gao Cheng, I'...... I was also forced to be helpless, if the villain didn't comply, the whole family would have to die! ”

The helmsman came back to his senses and began to weep again.

Xiao Fan is somewhat sympathetic, the little people have no choice, they can only do it when they are selected to do this kind of thing.

Understandable, but not forgivable.

"I actually told you directly, it's elevation...... It seems that people didn't want you to live in the first place. Xiao Fan shook his head.

Meng Qing said: "Even if there are witnesses who know that it is elevation, there is no way to take him...... The yamen will not arrest the elevation. ”

He wanted to remind Xiao Fan not to be smart, thinking that if he got a witness, he could bring down Elevation.

"I'm not that naïve."

Xiao Fan shook his head.

In these years, there are too many inexplicable prisoners in prison.

You can choke to death by eating, you can choke to death by drinking water, and you can die from peek-a-boo......

Even if it is a dungeon in Lantai County, Xiao Fan dares to be sure that as long as this person is sent in tonight, this person will "commit suicide in fear of sin" tomorrow morning.

"Okay, I know, Meng Qing, you can take people away." Xiao Fan instructed.

Meng Qing was puzzled: "Didn't Gongzi Xiao keep him for careful interrogation?" ”

Xiao Fan smiled: "No matter how many details you know, you can't present it in court, what's the use?" Just know it's the elevation. ”

"Xiao Gongzi is right."

"The master asked me to remind Xiao Gongzi, don't be impulsive, there are many masters around Gao Cheng, and some of them even retreated."

"Don't take it by force."

Xiao Fan said nonchalantly: "I know, go back and thank your master on my behalf." ”

"Then I will retire in the next place, Xiao Gongzi take care and be careful about your safety." Meng Qing advised, worried that Gao Cheng would not be able to afford to play, and would directly kill Xiao Fan.

These grain merchants are even more daring than King Lu.

Their power is intertwined, and many people are sheltered, and no one dares to touch their power unless the emperor himself makes a decision.

Li Qingshan called Meng Qing to advise, because he was afraid that Xiao Fan would be impulsive.

He knew that Xiao Fan had a master in secret, and the three black-clothed people who appeared in the attack on Xiao Mansion that night, Li Qingshan was already suspecting that it was related to Ouchi.

……

"Sir?" Jiang Xing swallowed his saliva, and his heart was also a little drumming.

As soon as he heard about Elevation's whereabouts, Xiao Fan took Jiang Xing and came secretly.

Chunfeng Building.

Or here.

Quanbaishui Town, the most luxurious gold cave.

A rich man like Gao Cheng is, of course, going to settle here, not only countless beauties, but also eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling here.

And the arrival of elevation has also made Chunfeng Lou very hot, and many dignitaries and nobles even came from afar, wanting to make friends with this big grain merchant.

Gao Cheng has a big face, and even asked the government for some people to protect him.

This also caused Xiao Fan and the two to not be able to get close.

In fact, Xiao Fan didn't think about getting closer.

"Master, what kind of musket can't hit this far, right?"

In the dark, the two were on the mountainside across the pier.

On the side of the Baishui River on this bank, the water is deeper, so a big boat like Chunfeng Lou has to dock here.

But even if Chunfeng Tower is very close to here, it is still two or three hundred steps apart.

To strike accurately, unless it is an archer on the grassland, or an artifact such as a divine arm crossbow and bed crossbow in the army.

The musket that had just been "developed" could be fired far away, but it quickly deviated, and its long-range accuracy was insufficient.

Jiang Xing persuaded: "Master, if you don't forget it, let's find another opportunity in the future, right?" ”

Xiao Fan visually said: "Less than three hundred steps, if you project, you can go over, using the principle of catapults." ”

"Throw us over?" Jiang Xing was shocked, he hadn't heard that catapults could still give people away.

"It's this."

Xiao Fan took out a crockpot style, but it was a "melon" made of iron sheets.

The size of a fist, it looked quite metallic, and there was a fuse sticking out of it.

That's right, grenades.

Xiao Fan made this thing roughly, and he hasn't used it yet, but he guarantees that it can be fried.

It was filled with some pieces of iron, and he didn't even talk about martial arts and poisoned, as long as he threw it into the elevation room, he would die!

"Master, we haven't practiced, even if we use these trees and bounce this thing over, who knows if it will fall into the water or on the boat? Don't you accidentally hurt the innocent? Jiang Xing said again.

Xiao Fan said: "This elevation is very life-saving, he wants to stay overnight in Chunfeng Tower, and he will definitely clear the scene, at least there will be no one else on the first floor." ”

"As long as you are accurate, you won't be injured by mistake."

"Try it with the same quality stone first, you help me tie this rope to the top of those two trees, right opposite the Spring Breeze Tower."

Jiang Xing was helpless, feeling that this was really a home-like assassination.

It's too sloppy, can this thing be deadly?

After two or three hundred steps, it is still a little difficult to throw into the elevation room.

"What if I test it with a stone in advance and the elevation is alert?" Jiang Xingdao.

Xiao Fan: "Then withdraw, how could he have thought that I could assassinate him by such means?" ”

"Also to ......"

Normal people can't even think of it!

Catapults are military supplies, and very few people know the principle, who knows that you still know how to use the trees on the mountainside to make catapults!

And master, haven't you been preparing this cow tendon rope for a long time? I've thought about it for a long time, and I've used this method to harm people, right?

Jiang Xing jumped onto the tree and tied his sides tightly.

After coming down, Jiang Xing said: "Master, I still think it's unreliable, can this be done?" ”

Xiao Fan said lightly: "I don't have to kill him, if he doesn't hit, just scare him as a warning." ”

"Oh...... That's pretty much it. ”

Jiang Xing said: "Since it's just a scare, then just cast it casually, and let him hear the sound." ”

……

"Master, you rest, I'll wait outside the door."

After playing in the middle of the night, seeing that it was already three watches, Elevation couldn't stand it and wanted to sleep.

The subordinates immediately drove out the idle people on this floor, and as for the cost of chartering, it was just a drop in the bucket for elevation.

Gao Cheng: "Zhao Da went out to kill the mouths of those two helmsmen, why haven't you come back yet, you go to find him, don't let him run away, he knows a lot of things about me." ”

"Yes." The subordinate obeyed.

"But I'm tired, take a good rest, and you can start frying grain tomorrow!"

Thinking beautifully, Elevation lay on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, in the darkness of the night, an invisible stone fell on the deck.

It made quite a noise.

"What fell?" Someone heard it.

"Xu is a fish caught by an osprey, throw it away, it's very common by the river."

"Oh, I thought there were assassins."

"Assassins dare to come? Master Gao is here, the surrounding ships can't be relied on, and the marksman can't find a place to start. ”

"That's good......"

"Puff-" There was another stone, which flew over its head and landed in the water not far from the Chunfeng Tower.

"Did you hear that, there was movement again, there wouldn't really be an assassin, would it?" Some of the guards got nervous.

There is humanity: "What a fuss...... The fish that the osprey just took fell off our boat, and it plunged into the water to catch another one, isn't it very reasonable? ”

"Yes, reasonable."

About a dozen breaths passed.

An iron ball slammed into it, smashed the wooden window, and flew into the most luxurious room on the top floor of the Chunfeng Building.

And then:

"Boom!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Brother, did the osprey crash into the building this time?"

"Butt Hawk!" Fang Cai always said that the osprey was the man, and scolded, "The osprey is stupider than you, will it crash into the stairs and die?" It's an assassin, catch the assassin! ”
