Chapter 17: The Assassination (Part 1)

When the Zeng Mansion was full of soldiers from the Inspection Division, the two demon shadows lurking in the Zeng Mansion finally met and discussed the assassination plan that had been arranged long ago.

"Do it now...... Didn't you come as planned?"

"Well, since this matter involves the martial artists of the sect, it is not appropriate to wait for Zeng Xian to leave Langzhong. Finish it early, take the bounty and break up immediately, what should everyone do, the old lady has long been impatient. ”

Under the shade of the tree, Ning Sangu's fat round face piled up a fierce smile, and a trace of cunning flashed in her thin eyes that were squeezed into a slit.

"Hehe, provoking the martial artists of the sect? Third Sister didn't forget, if you hadn't deliberately revealed the news of Old Ghost Zeng to the disciples of Tiangong Academy, how could there be such troubles now?"

Another slender figure under the tree raised the folding fan in his hand and said unhappily, "That patron has already explained that Mo is doing it in the city, and if he is chased by the martial artists of the sect because of this, he will not help us cover up......

"Hmph, boy of the Kong family, do you think that the old lady is willing to provoke the martial artists of the sect? You haven't been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and you haven't seen the ferocity of the old ghost Zeng in Jianghuai Dao back then. Ning Sangu had a hint of anger on her face, and she screamed in a low voice.

"You also saw it today, Zeng Lao Ghost is already an artistic conception martial artist. If it weren't for those two sect martial artists to lure them away, how would we have escaped even if we succeeded? If it weren't for the old ghost Zeng, why would the old lady stay in the Zeng Mansion for most of the year and not dare to do anything?"

"The third sister is angry, the younger brother understands this truth!"

The other person smiled and made a gesture, revealing a handsome face with a fair skin, isn't it Kong Qing, who claims to be Zeng Xian's nephew in the same year!

"The eldest brother said, he has always admired the third sister's resourcefulness, and before he came out, he told the younger brother to listen to the third sister's orders!"

"Hey, don't be a good person, let me ask you, did Zeng Si's granddaughter and that Zeng family child send away?"

"Third sister, don't worry, the eldest brother and a group of brothers in the village are watching!" Kong Qing shook the folding fan and pretended to say, "When Zeng Hui was taken down by a certain person yesterday, he still looked incredulous, alas, he is really a beautiful woman!"

"Your little white face is a good acting skill, but there are always some women in the world who have eyes and don't recognize the two-faced evil jackal......" Ning Sangu said with a sneer.

"The third sister has won the award!" Kong Qing smiled and clenched his fists, looking self-satisfied, and he was not ashamed at all.

"Okay, let's gossip, let's do it!" Ning Sangu looked around vigilantly.

"Those two sect martial artists met last night, Zeng Si is estimated to not be able to come back when he goes out, but we also have to leave as soon as possible. Alas, when Zeng Xian dies, our traces will definitely fall into the eyes of the Tiangong Courtyard and the Panlong Sect, and then we will have to go incognito and wander in other places. ”

"Hehe, if the third sister doesn't dislike it, you can come to my Kong family village to stay, and the eldest brother will sweep the couch to greet her. Kong Qing's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile.

"Hmph, boy from the Kong family, your eldest brother is a character. However, when this matter is over, you can bring him a message, so that he had better not take chances. Take this money and hide for a while, otherwise there will be a big disaster in the Kong family village!" Ning Sangu's face shook with fat, and she said with a smile.

"The third sister is too worried, my Kong family village has been settled in Baoshan for more than 60 years, and it has gone through three generations. And he usually has a lot of filial piety to several local sects, and those sects are bound by the immortal oath, how can they judge for a mere six-pintong?" Kong Qing shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"Heh, that's fine!" A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ning Sangu's eyes, but she didn't say anything more.

It has been more than 30 years since her debut, and she has already passed the high-spirited years. Because of his meticulous thinking, he always committed a crime, so he won the nickname of "Night Fox" in the green forest.

Ning Sangu has not had an accident for so many years, precisely because she knows that in the eyes of those immortal martial sects, what kind of green forest characters will be on the sect's merit list, and what kind of people will not be remembered by the sect's experienced disciples.

If it weren't for the patron who offered a generous bounty enough to retire this time, she would never have touched Zeng Xian.

Since she was just assassinating a powerless civil official, she still cautiously sneaked into Zeng's mansion more than half a year in advance, and put down her body to be a cook maid.

But fortunately, she found out that there was a green forest lord in Zeng Mansion who had retired for more than ten years.

From the moment she met Zeng Si, the "night fox" Ning Sangu knew that she couldn't eat this order alone, so she informed the patron that she had recruited the Kong brothers as helpers.

Even so, Ning Sangu still secretly leaked Zeng Si's news to a disciple of the Heavenly Palace Academy, and as she expected, she attracted Chen Ming, who was chasing Zeng Si.

After Chen Ming and Bai Ya arrived, the next thing was really similar to what Ning Sangu expected. She provoked a little on her side, Zeng Si was led away by Baiya because of the disappearance of her granddaughter, and Chen Ming also tracked her away at the same time.

As soon as these three people left at the same time, they were given the best chance to assassinate Zeng Xian.

As for the Kongjia Village in Kong Qing's mouth, it is a mountain bandit village on Baoshan.

This cottage can take root in Baoshan, only because the previous two generations of village owners and thieves also have a way, although they are thieves, they have not poisoned their neighbors, and they have to rob the road down the mountain to hurt people's lives as little as possible, so they will let a few local Xianwu sects in Langzhong let them go.

In the eyes of those immortal martial sects, the bandits and bandits will never be killed. Today's Kongjiazhai is destroyed, and there will be Chenjiazhai tomorrow, so simply let a green forest cottage with the strictest rules always exist.

But since Kong Qing's eldest brother became the family, Kong Jiazhai's style of doing things has slowly begun to cross the line a little.

If you kill Zeng Xian, the court official, again this time, it is estimated that in the eyes of several local immortal martial arts sects, it will be equivalent to this fat duck going to the knife by himself, and he will be embarrassed not to kill it.

......

In the study, Zeng Xian, who was tired in the middle of the night, supported his head with his hands and leaned on the desk sleepy.

"Ah~~" Zeng Xian's elbow slipped, and he whispered, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had a nightmare.

"Cen Er ......" recalled that the only son in the dream begged for help with blood on his face, Zeng Cen frowned slightly, and his heart ached.

Regarding this incident, he vaguely knew in his heart that it must be a few old opponents in his officialdom. However, he didn't think that the other party wanted his life at this time, and only thought that the opponent's kidnapping of his only son was a condition.

"Master, is there any news from Cen Er?"

In a trance, Qiao's took the maid Peach Blossom and pushed the door in. Qiao's eyes were red and swollen at this time, completely lost her usual grace, and she grabbed Peach Blossom's arm and looked at her husband expectantly.

Madame is relieved, Uncle Zeng has chased after him, and he must be turning back with the suspect in a few hours. Zeng Xian replied with a forced smile.

“...... It's all your fault, do you think the concubine doesn't know, if it weren't for the fact that you usually offended those people too much, how could Cen Er have such a catastrophe?" Qiao Shi was silent for a moment, and then looked at each other coldly.

"Hmph, the gentleman is cautious and does not deceive the dark room. If you let this official be in the same league with those thieves, this official will not do it!" Hearing his wife's complaint, Zeng Xian couldn't help but straighten his face and said solemnly.

"Peach blossom, help Mrs. go back to the room to rest. ”

"Yes, sir!" Peach Blossom timidly grabbed Qiao.

"What's the use of what you say nicely, if my son comes back this time without a single hair, the concubine body won't be able to spare you!" Qiao Shi glared at Zeng Xian fiercely with red eyes, lifted the hem of his skirt and went out.

"Alas!" Looking at Qiao's back, Zeng Xian couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and took the book from the bookshelf casually. He's just making a show, and that's going to be where to look.

"Master!" Not long after Qiao's left, the voice of the cook Ning Sangu suddenly came from outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Zeng Xian put down the scroll in his hand.

"Madame asked me to stew a bowl of ginseng soup......" Ning Sangu outside the door said unhurriedly.

"Ginseng soup?Madame asked you to send it?" Zeng Xian frowned, Qiao's appearance just now was still vivid, but it didn't look like he would be thinking about him.

"This woman is also ......" Zeng Xian's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered that more than half a year ago, Zeng Si had some vague reminders.

"First...... Put it on the table!" Zeng Xiangang wanted to find an excuse to push it away, but found that before he could say anything, Ning Sangu took a small plate and entered his study by herself.

"Master, this is not good, it will be difficult to eat when it is cold, so let's drink it now!" Ning Sangu looked up and smiled, and the eyes on her round face were squeezed into a slit.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that there are so many heroes and heroes hidden in this official mansion......" Zeng Xian laughed angrily, he didn't know that the fat cook lady in front of him was sent to kill him.

"Six-grade judgment, how dare you act like this?"

"Sir, you are a good official, but you have underestimated the lower limit of some people. Don't blame me for waiting, I'm just a knife in the hands of others......" Ning Sangu shook her head and smiled, "Drink this bowl of soup, don't let the concubine use her strength!"

"What is this?poison?" Zeng Xian glanced back at the long sword hanging on the wall, and said disdainfully, "Although this official is powerless, he will never be caught with his hands, even if he dies, he will leave some clues for him." ”

"Master is so courageous!" Ning Sangu shook her head and sighed, "It's just that it's not necessary, if the concubine wants to kill you by force, except for some special people, the yamen can't see it." This bowl of soup is just the kindness of the concubine, after all, the master and servant will make you less painful. ”

"......" Zeng Xian was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "If I drink this, you will let Cen Er and Hui'er come back safely!"

"Those two are not in the hands of the concubine, but as long as the old man is dead, the two should return without incident. Ning Sangu said calmly.

"Okay, that's it!" Zeng Xian's eyes flashed, and he slowly picked up the tea bowl.

"Someone, there's an assassin!"

I saw Zeng Xian suddenly flip his wrist, throw the tea bowl at Ning Sangu, turn around and run behind the screen.

"Master, you really don't want to give up on the Yellow River...... Ning Sangu waved her fat hand, knocked the tea bowl away, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes, "Do you think those wastes outside can save you?"

"Bang ~ bang!"

"Huh...... Who is it?" Just as Ning Sangu was about to pounce, a big hole suddenly broke on the top of the study, and a figure smashed down on her horizontally.
