Zhang Rubao has been in Yangzhou for five days. After the assassination of Lord Guard, his boss Xue Zhinong immediately came to the action team. He brought the order from Lord Guard, asking the action team to immediately send people to Yangzhou to retaliate against the Qi family. Because Zhang Rubao is

He was the captain who led the action team to Yangzhou last time, so the manpower sent by the action team this time will also be led by Zhang Rubao.

The order given by Xue Zhinong to Zhang Rubao was very simple, that is, the action team should go to Yangzhou to kill the head of the Qi family. Xue Zhinong only set a time for Zhang Rubao. The day to kill the head of the Qi family must be one month later, on July 4th.

During the three days of the 5th and 6th, Xue Zhinong didn't care how many people the rest of the action team sent out and what method of assassination should be used. It was all decided by Zhang Rubao himself.

As for this operation, Xue Zhinong will not personally lead the action team to Yangzhou, because Xue Zhinong still has to do some things arranged by Wu Shigong in Henan.

So, Zhang Rubao selected 20 more skilled members of the action team and called these people together to brainstorm an assassination plan.

But in the current action team, there are more members who are soldiers. Even if there are a few members who are bandits, what they are good at is robbery and kidnapping, and they are really amateurs at assassination.

So everyone discussed for a long time, and various poisoning, ambush and other methods were proposed, but they were rejected one by one. Because there are two difficulties in this assassination:

One is that the head of the Qi family must be protected by guards, and it is difficult for the action team members who carry out the assassination to get close to the head of the Qi family; the other is that because it is summer, everyone is wearing very thin clothes, so those action team members

Except for some short daggers, you cannot carry long weapons.

In the end, the members of the action team felt that the most suitable assassination weapon was the hand gun. As for the assassination method, they discussed the simplest method - after sending an action team member to approach the head of the Qi family with a hand gun,

Shoot at the head of the Qi family.

You don't have to say that in the end, all the team members agreed that this simple and crude method was the best. After the method was decided, it was necessary to determine the manpower to carry out the assassination. And Zhang Rubao did his part and snatched this

Task.

Zhang Rubao has been soaking in the teahouse directly opposite the Qi family for four days. He found that every morning, the Qi family always parked the carriage at the front door. After a while, the head of the Qi family would lead his entourage out of the door.

Get on the carriage and go out to do errands. Yesterday, the action team had already agreed that today is the day that Zhang Rubao will assassinate the head of the Qi family.

Seeing that the carriage had stopped at the front door of Qi's house, Zhang Rubao left some broken silver on the table, picked up an oil paper bag on the table and walked out.

In the oil-paper bag, there was a hand gun that had been filled with gunpowder and bullets. When he left the teahouse, Zhang Rubao saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he quickly lit the match of the hand gun with a fire medium.

There was a large open space in front of the main entrance of Qi's house. Zhang Rubao walked over slowly. Because he was holding an oil paper bag, others thought he was holding an oil paper bag.

A piece of pork or chicken or duck that you just bought.

Zhang Rubao was getting closer and closer to the carriage. He took two steps and blew on the burning match rope outside the oil paper bag, for fear that the match rope would go out. At this time, the head of the Qi family also walked out of the door of the Qi family. He and Qing Qing beside him

The guest laughed and walked towards his carriage.

When the head of the Qi family walked to the carriage, Zhang Rubao was only seven or eight steps away from the head of the Qi family. But for final confirmation, Zhang Rubao raised the oil paper bag in his hand and shouted to the head of the Qi family: "Master Qi

!”

Just as the head of the Qi family was about to get on the carriage, he heard someone calling him loudly. He raised his head, straightened his chest, and looked towards the person who called him. The head of the Qi family saw a stout man holding a

The oil paper bag was pointed at himself.

The head of the Qi family realized that he didn't know the big man at all, and the way the big man was holding the oil paper bag looked very strange. The head of the Qi family secretly muttered in his heart: "I don't know where a madman came from." And the head of the Qi family secretly muttered.

The guards around him also stepped forward, trying to drive away this madman.

But at this moment, there was a loud noise, and a line of flame spurted out from the oil paper bag. The head of the Qi family felt that his chest was hit hard. He immediately fell down weakly.

Zhang Rubao saw spider web-like blood oozing from the chest of the head of the Qi family. He knew that the head of the Qi family was hopeless. In this era, the bullets of fire blunderbuss and hand blunderbuss flew very irregularly, so the bullets flew very irregularly.

When entering a person's body, the bullet will roll and fly. It rarely causes penetrating injuries.

Therefore, the bullet fired by Zhang Rubao had already caused great damage to the internal organs of the head of the Qi family. Coupled with the medical conditions of this era, it can be said that Zhang Rubao was certain that the head of the Qi family would definitely go to hell.

After Zhang Rubao fired the gun, he turned around and ran away without hesitation. The guards who had just stepped forward to stop Zhang Rubao were startled by the loud sound of the gun being fired. When they found out that Mr. Qi behind them had fallen,

While they were in a pool of blood, they tried to look for the assassin again, but they found that the assassin who assassinated Mr. Qi had disappeared without a trace.

The head of the Qi family was not dead for a moment. He was very unwilling because he didn't know who was coming to assassinate him. Because the head of the Qi family didn't know at all that the secret of the king of the Qi family had been hidden from him, and he

The person who made the claim hired an assassin to assassinate Wu Shigong. No one even told him about Wu Shigong's assassination.

So when the head of the Qi family took his last breath, he still had his eyes wide open. He was indeed unwilling to die with his eyes closed.

Zhang Rubao led the action team members to retreat surprisingly smoothly, without encountering any obstacles at all. Because in Yangzhou City, such a vicious incident of assassination in broad daylight on the street has not happened for a long time, so

Both the various yamen in Yangzhou City and the guards of the Qi family were at a loss as to how to deal with this situation.

When they finally thought of closing the gates of Yangzhou City and searching for assassins in Yangzhou City, Zhang Rubao had already left Yangzhou City with the members of the action team and left.

Zhang Rubao brought a total of twenty members of the action team to Yangzhou City this time. However, in addition to Zhang Rubao performing the assassination mission, some of the other team members were prepared to make up for the second assassination if Zhang Rubao missed; some wanted to cover Zhang Rubao.

Escape. Zhang Rubao even arranged three team members beside a remote section of the city wall in Yangzhou, preparing to climb from the city wall to the outside of the city in case the city gate of Yangzhou was closed. But Zhang Rubao was unable to follow up on all this.

Not used.

The news that the head of the Qi family was assassinated caused a sensation in Yangzhou City. The Qi family immediately offered a reward of 5,000 taels of silver to track down the murderer. Other salt merchants also speculated on the reason why the head of the Qi family was assassinated.

Of course, among the common people in Yangzhou City, the origin of the assassin who assassinated the head of the Qi family was also spread, and the most widely spread was definitely the pink news about jealousy over some woman.

But these rumors immediately subsided after seven or eight days, because everyone knew immediately who assassinated the head of the Qi family. Because at this time, a big news came from Henan that shocked the entire Yangzhou salt business community.
