68. Chapter 68 Uninvited Guest
But when Yue Qingshan opened the sedan curtain, he was stunned, stunned by the sight in front of him. There was a door inside the sedan curtain, and there were several arrows stuck on the door, but they failed to penetrate. No matter how carefully he looked,
Upon taking a look, I couldn't help but be even more surprised. It turned out that the entire sedan was covered with exquisite iron clothing attached to the surface. No wonder the arrows couldn't penetrate it.
While Yue Qingshan was surprised, the sedan door slowly opened, and the person inside gave a cold smile and rushed out of the sedan. Yue Qingshan was stunned for a moment. The opponent was so fast that he was subdued to the ground in a moment, and a silver gun was pressed against him.
Yue Qingshan's throat.
The archers around the lofts on both sides saw that the situation was not good and were about to shoot at the man with the gun. At this moment, another group of people suddenly rushed out from behind and captured everyone with a thunderbolt. Then they walked from the roadside.
From the shops and inns, hundreds of people armed with swords rushed out and strangled the assassins.
"You! You're not..." Yue Qingshan then carefully looked at the man holding the gun in front of him. Having met Chen Hao before, he could naturally tell at a glance that this man was not Chen Hao.
Before Yue Qingshan finished speaking, the gunman said: "Nonsense, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" He looked at Yue Qingshan who was lying on the ground with contempt.
The person holding the gun was none other than Luo Fengjiao, who was disguised as a man and wearing an official uniform. Blood spilled from Yue Qingshan's mouth. He had been stabbed in the abdomen by Luo Fengjiao just now. He seemed to realize something and couldn't help but ask: "Is he there?"
where?"
At this time, the battle on West Street was coming to an end, and many assassins had been killed. Luo Fengjiao snorted and ignored Yue Qingshan, and said in a deep voice: "Tie him up, don't let him commit suicide!"
"Yes!" The two men who came up tied Yue Qingshan tightly with ropes. In order to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide, they blocked Yue Qingshan's mouth with cloth.
Seeing Yue Qingshan still hesitating and shouting even though his mouth was blocked, Luo Fengjiao was slightly angry and helplessly walked into the sedan, then turned around and came back, holding a ball of something that she even disliked in her hand.
.Then he took off the cloth from Yue Qingshan’s mouth and stuffed the obtained lump into his mouth.
Yue Qingshan was confused by Luo Fengjiao's behavior at first. When Luo Fengjiao took off his clothes and was about to curse, a lump of something was stuffed into his mouth. Suddenly he collapsed, went crazy, and was helpless. But
Yue Qingshan's eyes were round and he was roaring, moving his trapped limbs, and his face was twisted with a look of pain.
Seeing Yue Qingshan like this, Luo Fengjiao felt happy in her heart. She thought that this stinky gangster had so many bad ideas. It would be a good idea to use these footwear (socks) that had not been washed for half a month as an appetizer for this man.
Next, Governor Liu commanded and deployed, and all the assassins were taken to the prison to await trial. The news of the assassination of the imperial envoy spread throughout Shouzhou City, and all the rural gentry, families, and state officials came to visit the imperial envoy. However, the imperial envoy used his body to
Avoiding it on the grounds of discomfort, leaving all parties wondering what to do.
At the same time, in the living room of Du Mansion in Yangzhou, Du Zong and Liu Jianjun drank tea and chatted, and hearty laughter came from the living room from time to time.
"Master Du, this young man who has been deposed as an envoy has arrived in Shouzhou, should you make any plans?" Liu Jianjun said in his spying duck voice, holding the cup and holding the flower with a smile.
Du Zong smiled slightly and said with a pearl of wisdom: "Master Supervisor, please relax, everything is under my control! So what if Chen Hao holds the account book? Can he get out of Huainan? If it were not an accident,
News of his death will come tonight!"
Liu Jianjun pursed his lips with a smile on his face, half-smiling but not smiling: "Then the Za family will just wait for the good news!"
After saying that, they both looked at each other and smiled, each enjoying a cup of tea.
Du Zong is waiting for Yue Qingshan to deliver news to him, otherwise he will not be able to sleep tonight. Several assassinations have ended in failure. Now that Chen Hao has revealed his identity as an imperial envoy, he will not be able to blatantly curb it. Wait until
When Chen Hao comes to Yangzhou, he will be even more constrained.
Although Du Zong was the military envoy of Huainan Province and had the support of many wealthy nobles for many years, he was deeply entrenched. However, once the imperial envoy arrived, he would inevitably turn against him. They could offend the military envoy, but they were unwilling to anger the emperor.
That's why this large-scale assassination was carried out. The best soldiers in the army were selected and formed an assassination team with the assassins from the Jianghu. They were determined to let the imperial envoy Chen Hao die in Shouzhou.
The leaves were already dark, but Du Zong and Liu Jianjun didn't seem to be tired at all. Suddenly a housekeeper ran in from outside. As soon as he entered the hall, he saluted: "Master, there are three people outside the door asking to see the master, saying that they were sent by General Yue.
The messenger!"
"Oh? It's quite fast..." Du Zong thought to himself. According to his calculations, the news would be after the fourth update at the earliest, but at this time, it had just passed the second update.
But even this could not conceal the excitement in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Invite three people to the living room!"
"Yes!" The butler hurriedly walked out.
Liu Jianjun chuckled and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Du, it seems that the future troubles have been resolved, and Mr. Du can rest easy..."
Du Zang showed a hint of teasing, stroked his beard and asked happily: "Isn't it the supervisor of the army?"
"interesting……"
"hehe……"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled without understanding.
After a while, the housekeeper led the three people to the living room. All three people were dressed in black. The leader was a man with a scar on his face. The three people came forward and busily saluted the two adults.
"Young man Zhang San, I am here to deliver a message to you on the orders of General Yue!" The scar-faced man standing in front said solemnly.
Du Zong looked at the three of them with narrowed eyes, thought for a long time, and then asked: "Where is Yue Qingshan now? What are your positions?"
Scarface in front responded calmly: "Due to the high security in Shouzhou due to the assassination and deposing of the envoy, the general is now secretly evacuating the people involved in the assassination, so he cannot leave for a moment, and he is afraid that the adults will be anxious."
, so I and three others were sent to deliver the message! The three young ones were born in the grass, and General Duo Meng took them under their tent to serve as halberd-wielding captains."
Du Zong nodded slightly, then his eyes flashed and he continued: "Well, where is the letter?"
Scarface said again: "The general has never been good at writing, so I took this token as a guide and put it together with Chen Hao's head. I hope you can take a look at it!" After saying that, he took out a token from his arms and handed it to the steward.
When Du Zong saw that the token was indeed from Yue Qingshan, and that the person who came was well aware of its shortcomings, he put down his doubts. The Jiedushi who has been in charge of a place for more than ten years has naturally developed a cautious attitude. Otherwise, he would not
He will be in the government and the public, and he will remain standing despite being mixed in for decades.
"Where's the head?" Liu Jianjun, who had been silent until now, asked anxiously with his eyes shining.
Scarface took out a cloth bag from behind, and the blood red had soaked into the gray cloth bag. Seeing the butler coming up to get something, Scarface held the bag in his hand and said flatteringly: "Sir, this thing is a bit dirty, so I will give it to you."
Bar!"
"Yes! Submit it!"
Du Zong was also a little excited at the moment. It was because of this Chen Hao that he had been having trouble sleeping and eating these days. Now that his head was right in front of him, he wanted to see what this Chen Hao looked like. But he didn't pay attention on a whim.
The scarred face walked towards him, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The scar-faced man held the bag in his hand and respectfully waited for Du Zong to come. Then he placed it in front of the table and slowly opened the bag. Du Zong and Liu Jianjun lowered their heads and waited attentively for the moment when they opened the bag.
When the bag was about to be fully unfolded, a round cyan object appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"This..." Du Zong was surprised and then said angrily. This is not a head. It is clearly an immature winter melon.
Scarface snorted coldly, took out the knife from the melon and stabbed Du Zong at such a fast speed that it was shocking. Du Zong was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly blocked it with his arms. There was a stabbing sound and his wide sleeves were pierced.
In the living room, the generals of the Du Mansion saw that the master was being assassinated, so they stepped forward to help, but were blocked by the remaining two men in black.
Suddenly the Du Mansion started to be in chaos, and within a short time, officers and soldiers from three floors inside and outside the living room had gathered outside the living room. The man in black did not panic when he saw this, as if everything had been expected, and he jumped over the table so that Du Zong could be strangled.
1. Du Zong was originally a martial arts practitioner, but with few wars for many years, he had become fat and wide, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to move around.
As a result, Scarface twisted his arms, held his sword in front of his neck, and shouted: "Stop!"
A startling sound caused everyone in the living room to stop fighting, and everyone looked at Scarface, who was holding Du Zong hostage.
"Who are you? How dare you assassinate an official of the imperial court, and are you not afraid of annihilating the nine tribes?" Although Du Zong was in a passive situation, he still had the aura of being in a position of power for a long time.
Scarface smiled coldly and said: "Exterminate the nine tribes?"
"Yes, my dear fellow, if you let Mr. Du go, the Za family can forget the blame and give you a thousand taels of gold. What do you think?" Seeing that the man hiding by the pillar stopped fighting at this moment, he came out tremblingly to persuade.
Seeing that the scarred face remained silent, Du Brown said sternly: "Hero, as long as you show mercy, I will guarantee you endless glory and wealth. Besides... hum, these officers and soldiers have already surrounded this place, you can walk out of Du Mansion."
no?"
The scarred face grinned and raised the dagger slightly. Immediately, traces of blood began to ooze from Du Zong's neck, and then he sneered effectively: "Ten thousand taels of gold? Glory and wealth? Where did your wealth come from?
, deceived the people, enriched the people, embezzled disaster relief food funds, and as an official who was deposed as an envoy, how dare you destroy the nine tribes of this official?"
"The deposed envoy..." When everyone heard Scarface's words, they were all stunned. But after being surprised, they all became skeptical. How come they had never heard of the deposed envoy appearing like this. Besides, even if there were,
Did the Tang Dynasty have such ugly deposed envoys?
But when Du Zong and Liu Jianjun heard these words, they were like a bolt from the blue. As insiders and planners, they certainly knew about the existence of such a deposed envoy.
"Stop talking nonsense, let Master Du go as soon as possible, otherwise you will be cut into pieces!" Liu Jianjun was a little crazy at this moment. He did not expect that in the blink of an eye, the imperial envoy would descend to Yangzhou at night.
"Let me go quickly. I can forgive you for pretending to be a deposed envoy (inspector)!" Du Zong insisted that the one who held him hostage was not an deposed envoy, otherwise his situation would be even more unfavorable.
Scarface sneered with interest, "What if you don't let me go?"
"You..." Du Zong was so angry that he didn't know what to do. Now that he was a knifeman and himself a fish, he really had no confidence.
"Come on, chop this madman into pieces for the Za family!" Liu Jianjun saw that the stalemate was stalemate for a while, and he was afraid that things would change over time, so he gave strict orders to kill the scar-faced man who claimed to be deposed.
But many generals did not dare to approach, because Lord Du was in the hands of this person. Liu Jianjun was angry and shouted in a duck-like voice: "As a supervisor, the Zajia must listen to the Zajia and capture this beast for the Zajia!"
The person who takes his head will be promoted to three ranks and will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!" Liu Jianjun was so angry that he didn't care whether he had exceeded his authority. Anyway, Gulu said it all.
"Eunuch Liu, you..." Du Zong was very angry when he saw that Liu Jianjun didn't care about his own safety at all. Is this the case of losing the car to save the commander, or crossing the river and burning the bridge.
