Rain in Chang'an Chapter 23: The Death of Zhang Xianzong (2)
It is often said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but in summer, rain can be seen everywhere like grass. A rainy day is excellent for Wang Yi, because there are many traces that can dissipate under the action of the great power of heaven and earth, without a trace.
But compared to these, Wang Yi was more worried about whether that Zhang Xianzong would come out today, sitting at the tea stall opposite the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Wang Yi's line of sight could just observe the people coming in and out of the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
Call.
Wang Yi blew on the steaming tea and took a sip slowly, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, it depends on various conditions. Will Zhang Xianzong come out. After coming out, whether to go home or go to Huafanglou.
These are full of uncertainties, and they are also the questions that Wang Yi is thinking about now. It is not an easy thing to assassinate an official of the imperial court, and the Ming Dynasty has suffered a lot in this aspect throughout the ages, so there are regulations for the protection of officials in the Qin Tianjian Dynasty.
Although it was a rainy day after waiting for a long time, as one of the centers of the Ming Dynasty, there were many people coming and going from the military department, and the military situation of the whole country would arrive at the military department every day, and there could be no delay.
After waiting patiently for an afternoon, Zhang Xianzong finally appeared in Wang Yi's field of vision.
Zhang Xianzong's portrait is in Jinyiwei's library, and Wang Yi has read it more than once. After confirming that the person who entered the sedan chair was Zhang Xianzong, Wang Yi got up, held a black umbrella, stepped into the rain, and watched the sedan chair walk towards the flower boat building.
At the same time, Wang Yi followed closely, keeping a slight distance from the front and back.
Today's rain has changed from the drizzle just now to the current downpour, but Wang Yi and the sedan chair have arrived at the Huafang Building. The difference is that Wang Yi entered through the front door, while Zhang Xianzong entered through the back door.
After Wang Yi entered the Huafang Building, no one dared to come forward to laugh or tease him, after all, Liu Qingqing's guests didn't have the courage to touch it.
After coming to Liu Qingqing's room with a familiar car, Wang Yi took off his clothes and changed into the black clothes that had been prepared for a long time.
Liu Qingqing was not surprised, let Wang Yi finish changing his clothes, and slowly played the guqin with his slender hands in the room to cover Wang Yi's actions.
"Everyone has withdrawn?" Wang Yi asked Liu Qingqing, who was playing the piano.
"Well, half an hour later, you walked into the backyard through the secret passage, and the innermost room was where Zhang Xianzong lived. Liu Qingqing played the guqin intently, and said the arrangement of this plan.
Wang Yi nodded, signaled that he knew the arrangement, and then sat on the ground, quietly adjusted his breath, restored himself to the best state, and prepared to solve Zhang Xianzong in the fastest time.
Time flies, and half an hour passes quickly.
Wang Yi opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Qingqing, who was sitting there. Liu Qingqing nodded and signaled, he could act. Wang Yi got up and walked towards the backyard.
Lying on the bed in the room, Zhang Xianzong turned over a little tiredly, just having fun with Lychee, and he needed to rest at this time. Lying on the bed, think about Lychee's bewitching figure, and then think about the size of her tigress. Zhang Xianzong shuddered involuntarily. It is unimaginable, one in heaven and one on earth.
Thinking that back then, he was also a handsome descendant in the village, and he was a scholar, so naturally there were many women with spring who admired Zhang Xianzong. But since I came to the place where the capital is still Luoyang, everything has changed.
Her own mother-in-law valued herself at a glance and forced herself to marry her, but she was overbearing. Relying on the power of his mother's family, he said nothing at home. In a situation that has been suppressed for a long time, someone has found himself.
That was also the first time I met a high-ranking and powerful adult in the Ming Dynasty, and what the adult asked him to do was not too difficult, but things involving the royal family, no matter how you look at it, are a matter of life. But maybe it was because he had been suppressed by his mother-in-law for too long, and the conditions offered by the adult were too tempting, so he agreed, and delayed the time on the military dispatch document.
Later, I found out that it was a document involving the King of Qi, and I was also remorseful at the time, but soon after, I became Lang Zhong of the Ministry of War, thinking that in a few years I would be cheeky, spend some silver, and seek a release.
If you want a better future in your heart, you should talk to others, not just yourself. Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzong said to the outside: "Come on, go and find the lychee, my lord misses her." ”
There was no one outside the door to respond, Zhang Xianzong was also stunned, and then he was angry, sat up and shouted outside: "People, get out, be lazy, believe it or not, I will throw you into the moat to feed the fish." ”
Still no one responded, Zhang Xianzong was not stupid to be able to do the military department, he knew that there was something strange outside, but he thought that no one dared to make trouble in Huafanglou, and he should be safe.
Zhang Xianzong got out of bed, walked to the door and listened carefully to the movement outside with his ears, and after making sure that there was no one, he carefully opened the door to observe the outside.
Rumble.
A punch was swung at Zhang Xianzong, due to the perennial pampering, Zhang Xianzong didn't have time to dodge, and his fat body was beaten upside down and flew out. Wang Yi's figure appeared in the room.
After waiting outside for a long time, I finally waited for my chance.
"Who are you?" Zhang Xianzong covered his face and roared angrily.
Wang Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he stepped on Zhang Xianzong's stomach: "I, for you, I am just a small person, but I am different from other little people." ”
Wang Yi said as he took out the hidden short knife from his arms and put it on Zhang Xianzong's neck, revealing a terrifying smile.
Zhang Xianzong's trembling body betrayed his heart at this time, and said cautiously: "What do you want, we can discuss, I have two hundred taels of money here, not enough for my family." ”
As he spoke, he trembled and pointed to the clothes he had placed on the bed, indicating that there was a silver ticket there.
"If you want a woman, I have it too, as long as you let me go, I can find it for you. ”
Wang Yi shook his head and closed the short knife in his hand to Zhang Xianzong's neck again.
"Unfortunately, I'm not a robber, I'm a vengeance. ”
Zhang Xianzong is not only scared now, but also wonders, who is he who rarely offends people in the military department?
"Shaoxia, no, ancestor. Spare me, what kind of enmity can we have at your age. ”
Zhang Xianzong looked at the young man in front of him, expecting to see a trace of change in his eyes, but unfortunately, Wang Yi did not have any change from beginning to end.
"Okay, as long as you get back to my question, I'll let you go. Wang Yi temporarily put the short knife back, and found a chair in his hand to make it.
"Around the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fifth year of Tianbao, the one you sent a document to Youzhou, who asked you to send it a few days late. ”
Zhang Xianzong's eyes shrank when he heard the words Tianbao five years, these words were a taboo for him, and they were also the only place where his heart was weak and stained, how could the kid in front of him know this.
However, it was not his turn to think too much, and Wang Yi's short knife was on his neck again.
Zhang Xianzong was frightened, his arm was on the ground, to relieve his uneasiness, I really can't say it, I said that I am dead, Zhang Xianzong swallowed his saliva, looked at the short knife close at hand and said: "I don't know, I really don't know." ”
Wang Yi said regretfully: "Then I'm sorry." ”
With that, the short knife stabbed towards Zhang Xianzong. Zhang Xianzong looked at the short knife that was getting closer and closer, and shouted, "Stop, stop, I said." ”
Wang Yi stopped his movements, looked at Zhang Xianzong, who was on the verge of collapse, and said, "You'd better tell the truth, don't think about delaying time, I killed the few people outside your door." ”
Zhang Xianzong was completely desperate, he was delaying time just now, looking forward to the guards he usually relied on to protect him, but now it seems that it can't be done.
"It's Liu Cheng from Yushitai, Lord Liu, and that's what he instructed me to do back then. Zhang Xianzong said the answer to Wang Yi like holding a life-saving straw.
Wang Yi looked at Zhang Xianzong who was spread on the ground with a playful expression and said, "How can I be sure that what you said is true or false?"
Zhang Xianzong fell to the ground, gave up struggling, looked at the roof with empty eyes, and said to himself: "What I said is true, all true." ”
"Well, I believe you. When Zhang Xianzong heard Wang Yi's words, he suddenly sat up and said in disbelief: "Really!"
Wang Yi nodded, indicating that it was true.
"Your sedan chair is in the back alley, although it is raining heavily outside, but your sedan chair drivers have not left, they are sheltering from the rain there, if you can run over within ten numbers, I will let you go. ”
Zhang Xianzong got up, and without waiting for Wang Yi to say anything, he ran away, using all his strength, towards the back alley. Now he doesn't think about how to retaliate, that's after making sure that he is safe, and now all he thinks about is fleeing for his life.
"Ten. ”
Wang Yi walked out of the room while counting, looking at Zhang Xianzong who hurriedly ran downstairs.
"Nine. ”
What a lost dog, no, a lost pig, that's more accurate.
"Eight. ”
"Seven. ”
At this time, Zhang Xianzong had already run to the gate of the backyard, opened the gate, and outside was his guard and palanquin man. Zhang Xianzong looked back at the young man standing on the second floor, and made up his mind to go back to find out his identity and take revenge on him, at all costs.
Click.
A thunderbolt from the sky slashed, Wang Yi made a move, and the short knife flew out in a perfect arc in Wang Yi's hand, flew out of the backyard, flew into the rain, and flew towards Zhang Xianzong's head.
Zhang Xianzong didn't notice the short knife behind him, he was now thinking about running for his life, Zhang Xianzong opened the door of the backyard, and the sedan chair man outside saw that someone was coming in and out of the backyard, turned his head to look, and found that it was his master, and hurriedly ran out of the shelter from the rain and greeted him.
"Poof. ”
The short knife hit Zhang Xianzong's head, Zhang Xianzong fell to the ground in response, fell in the heavy rain, and the blood began to flow out slowly, Zhang Xianzong would never have thought that Wang Yi had lied to him just now.
Even if he let this old guy go, the seventy-two lives of the Qi Wangfu and the souls of the thirty-thousand-soldier will not let him go.
Now the most troublesome thing has appeared, that is, the group of sedan chairmen outside, Wang Yi didn't want them to live, after all, if they lived, there would be more trouble.
So how many evil things have you done with Zhang Xianzong, you should die with him now.
Wang Yi jumped off the second floor and walked into the rain, tonight he was going to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
