Chapter 8: A Narrow Encounter
Alai felt inferior and humble, so he did not follow Wu Shuang into the Taishi Mansion. When everyone got out of the car, he remained in the carriage, and after everyone dispersed, he parked the carriage on the side of the road in front of the Taishifu and sat in the driver's seat to nap.
Not long after, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and he turned his head suddenly, and without saying a word, the man plunged a dagger into his heart. Immediately, Alai opened his panicked eyes, couldn't scream, convulsed and rolled out of the driver's seat, and died of despair!
However, the people in the whole mansion were immersed in the joy of the third lady's return to the house, and no one found out about this fateful event.
The murderer was very sophisticated and calm, just like an ordinary person, and left the scene of the murder as if nothing had happened, and even several servants and servants ran into the murderer head-on along the way, and because of his composure, he did not arouse anyone's suspicion or interrogation. Because, as everyone knows, there were indeed a few strange guests in the mansion just now! The murderer walked away like this, and swaggered out of the east gate of the Taishi Mansion from under the eyelids of the guard.
At this time, a servant who came out of the backyard and was about to go to the north courtyard to do an office, when he passed by the carriage, he inadvertently found Alai lying in a pool of blood; he panicked and found the butler Xiao Hua, and hurriedly told him what he had seen when he passed by the carriage just now.
When everyone ran over to look, Alai was already dead in anger. Immediately, Xiao Hua sent people to inquire about the guards of the four gates, and on the other hand, he sent people to search the whole mansion to strengthen vigilance, and he hurriedly ran to the meeting room to report the matter to the Taishi.
Xu Taishi, Wu Shuang, and She Gang arrived at the scene in time, but they didn't know it!
Seeing this, Wu Shuang thought in his heart:
"You deceived us into entering the mansion with good intentions, but killed the witnesses while we were unprepared, isn't this clearly intended to put us to death?" Thinking of this, he was sad and indignant, so he held the long sword tightly, bowed his head and bent down to pick up Alai's body, and said to She Gang:
"Brother She, you come to drive, let's go!"
Master Xu knew that the misunderstanding in front of him was indefensible, but silence was not a solution. Therefore, he grabbed Wu Shuang's right arm and said solemnly:
"Wu Shaoxia, you must believe in the sincerity of the old man, we will definitely find a way to find the murderer ......"
Wu Shuang said coldly:
"Don't bother, Master Taishi, he is the person I brought here, I will give Alai justice!" he said as he stepped into the carriage.
However, Xu Zixuan and Xiang'er rushed to hear the sound.
Seeing this, Xu Zixuan hurriedly asked everyone:
"What's going on? What's going on?" no one in the room could answer the question.
She asked Wu Shuang again, but Wu Shuang didn't look at her, and didn't pay attention to her! She went to ask She Gang again, but She Gang snorted coldly and said:
"Ask your father!"
At this time, the guards of each gate were called, and the Taishi personally interrogated them:
"You were guarding the door just now, and you didn't see a stranger coming in?"
The two guards at the east gate said with trepidation:
"Master Qiyu, just now we saw a male servant in Tsing Yi in his thirties going out from the east gate, could it be this person!"
"Then why don't you intercept him for interrogation?" the Taishi asked angrily.
"Master, Wu Daxia brought a group of guests just now, and we thought they were also guests who had just come; besides, we went out from the mansion again, so we didn't have too much investigation!"
"That's really unreasonable!" Taishi Xu said angrily, "In this way, what is the use of you guards!"
Seeing this, housekeeper Xiao Hua hurriedly said:
"Master, if an assassin wants to commit murder, he must be a man of extraordinary skill, where can these guards find out! We should now think about who would do such a vicious thing!"
At this time, She Gang had already shaken the reins, urged the carriage, and was about to leave! Xu Taishi pulled the car door again and said earnestly to Wu Shuang:
"Wu Shaoxia, whether you believe the old man or not, but we should all see a reality; the real murderer is the one who prevents the witness Alai from telling the truth of the matter, and is also the mastermind behind this matter; obviously, the mastermind behind this murder is because they don't want to see this matter confirmed and exposed! That's why they want to send someone to assassinate Alai......
But where did Wu Shuang calm down for a while, he still said coldly:
"You don't have to explain anything now, I'll figure out the results!"
So, he said to She Gang again:
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, the housekeeper Xiao Hua stopped in front of the carriage and said loudly to Wu Shuang and She Gang:
"Listen to me, my lord, our lord is really sincere this time, and this matter is a disaster for us right now. What's more, Wang Zhi, the governor of Henan, the father and son of the king, was persecuted by bad people while in prison! This fully shows that those bad people have been watching our every move at all times. Now, if we can't unite and trust each other and unite against the enemy, I'm afraid we will all be in danger right now, especially Governor Wang's father and son!"
"Ignore him!" Wu Shuang finally said, "Let's go!"
So, She Gang waved his whip and whipped the horse with all his might, and the horse was in pain, and neighed!
When they arrived at the east gate, they saw from afar a group of majestic military horses, coming in a hurry, and the first one was a great general wearing a golden helmet, wearing golden armor, and a sword hanging from his waist -- he was none other than Cao Kun, the ninth prince. Behind him, there are ten fierce generals in order, they are: the former military academy captain Qu Jugong, this person makes a double hammer, known as a victorious general; the head of the forbidden army, Wei Biao, makes an iron whip, and is called the most powerful teacher by the sergeants; Du Hu Shen Kuo, who makes an iron spear, is known as the king of guns in the eyes of the sergeants; Li Hai, the commander of the left army, makes a double gong, because of his fierce temperament and brave battle, he is called by the sergeants: Zhang Fei immediately; Zhang Xiong, the general of the Yamen, makes an iron halberd, especially the archery skills, and is called a sharpshooter general by the sergeants; Feng Zhaohui, the overseer, makes a big axe, once on the battlefield, in only half a day, kill the eighteen round fierce generals in the enemy formation; and Situ Ba, the commander of the cavalryHe is a veteran general with a great prestige in the army; Lu Xun, a partial general, is a man who does not want to die, and they all call him a desperate Sanlang; the Chinese army guards Liu Ding, who uses a big axe, with great courage and unstoppable momentum; Qin Yushi, the vanguard of the cavalry, makes a Wu Gang fork, has a quick temperament and quick action, and is known as a pioneer in a hurry. These people followed the Nine Princes Cao Kun, who came violently and violently, blocking the door, intending to block Wu Shuang back to the Taishi Mansion.
Seeing this, She Gang picked up the ghost head knife in his hand, stopped the carriage, stopped at the door and asked Wu Shuang in the carriage:
"Owner, there is a group of officers and soldiers outside the door, blocking our way, what should we do?"
"How many people?" Wu Shuang asked.
"Look at him with guns and guns, even if there are dozens of people!"
So, Wu Shuang opened the curtain of the car, raised his eyes, and saw the neighing of the military horses in front of him, crowded one after another, where there were dozens of people, not to mention two hundred. Wu Shuang asked:
"What should I do?"
"Rush over it!"
"Where is this!" Wu Shuang said, "There are so many of them, and they are all riding horses and carrying guns, and the carriage rushes over, they will only be cut to pieces by them, and they will not be used!"
"Then I'll let them taste it, my ghost head knife is powerful!" As he said that, he was about to jump out of the car with his knife, but Wu Shuang had already stepped out of the carriage and said to him:
"Brother She, your carriage has always been driven well, or I'll go first, and when I open a living road, you will hit the carriage over, and there will be no unsuccessful at that time!"
"Okay! I'll listen to you. (To be continued.) )
