It should be said that Wu Shigong's guards were all qualified soldiers, but they were not qualified guards. They all stood loosely, and they did not expect that someone would assassinate Wu Shigong in Runing City, so they were killed by Ma Jiu.
Suddenly he rushed in front of Wu Shigong.
Wu Shigong didn't notice Ma Jiu rushing over at that time, but he felt that the guard around him suddenly moved away, and another black shadow rushed in front of him, so Wu Shigong's avoidance instinct in his previous life came into play.
Facing Ma Jiu's sharp knife, Wu Shigong twisted his waist to the side as much as possible, but in a short time, Wu Shigong still did not completely avoid it. Ma Jiu's sharp knife cut through Wu Shigong's coat and stabbed Wu Shigong's left waist.
superior.
But Wu Shigong was wearing the inner armor given to him by his father-in-law Xue Lian under his outer coat, so Ma Jiu's sharp knife did not penetrate, and the sharp knife scratched along Wu Shigong's inner armor.
Ma Jiu reacted quickly. He just felt that his sharp knife was blocked, and knew that Wu Shigong must be wearing inner armor to prevent knife stabs, so he put away the knife and stabbed Wu Shigong in the neck.
At this moment, the guards on the side were also stunned, and they still did not react. On the contrary, the little pitiful horse next to Wu Shigong raised his front hooves and kicked Ma Jiu.
However, one of the little pitiful legs was a prosthetic leg, so the center of gravity was very unstable, so the kick did not hit Ma Jiu. However, because the little pitiful one lost its center of gravity, he fell down, and happened to be in the way of Wu Shigong.
and Ma Jiu. So Ma Jiu's second knife penetrated deeply into the little poor body.
But it was such a gap that allowed Wu Shigong and Ma Jiu to distance themselves, and also gave Wu Shigong time to pull out the samurai sword from his waist. So when Ma Jiu pulled out the knife that was stabbed on the little poor body, he thought about stabbing him.
When Wu Shigong struck for the third time, Wu Shigong's samurai sword caught Ma Jiu's sharp knife, swirled, twisted the sharp knife, and then slashed smoothly. Amidst Ma Jiu's screams, Ma Jiu's right hand holding the knife
He was chopped down by Wu Shigong.
At this time, the guards around Wu Shigong pulled out their waist knives and gathered around to rescue Wu Shigong. But at this time, the guards no longer needed help. Ma Jiu, who had broken his right hand, already knew that his assassination had failed, and he lay on the ground.
, biting the pill sewn on his collar with force. Not long after, his whole body convulsed, black blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he died.
Before he died, Ma Jiu thought that his friend from the Jianghu had taken his son out of Runing Fucheng and went to Jiangnan to live a good life, so he died with some relief.
Of course, what Ma Jiu didn't know was that after his so-called friend from the world took his son out of Runing Fucheng, he immediately killed his son and silenced him, cutting off all traces of that friend.
There are clues on the body.
Wu Shigong ignored the dead assassin. He half-knelt on the ground and looked at the little poor man lying in a pool of blood. The little poor man tried hard to lift his head, while the man beside him also raised his head.
He went to help, but not long after, the little poor boy stopped moving and stopped breathing.
Tears were welling up in Wu Shigong's eyes. This poor little man survived after going through all kinds of difficulties, but today he died trying to save Wu Shigong's life.
At this time, Yang Rusong leaned over to Wu Shigong and reminded: "Sir, please go back to the Yamen quickly. Let the little people do the things here." Yang Rusong was afraid that the assassin and his accomplices would assassinate Wu Shigong again.
Under the tug of the guards, Wu Shigong returned to the garrison yamen. At this time, Wu Shigong also calmed down. He immediately issued an order to first let the guards in the yamen guard the gate of Runing Mansion City and prohibit anyone from entering or exiting.
, and then mobilized 500 soldiers from the camp to carry out a large expedition to Runing Fucheng.
The assassination of the guards of Runing Prefecture in the early morning immediately attracted the attention of the Yamen of the prefect of Runing Prefecture and the county government where Runing Prefecture is located. They immediately sent out all their yamen servants to help the soldiers Wu Shigong had sent to the city.
The assassin's associates carried out a large search.
Those yamen servants were all local snakes, so they quickly figured out Ma Jiu's identity and knew that Ma Jiu was a member of the family. So next, under the leadership of the yamen servants, Wu Shigong's soldiers began to capture Ma Jiu's whereabouts.
All members of that fight line.
Of course, those members of the gang had also heard about Wu Shigong's assassination. However, because the city gate was blocked, the members of the gang could only hide in Runing City. But under the guidance of the government officials, they also
In the city, he was captured by Wu Shigong's soldiers.
Then, Wu Shigong was guarding the Yamen and tortured the members of the gang. However, after beating several people to death, the members of the gang still couldn't tell who ordered Ma Jiu's assassination. Only a few of them and Ma Jiu were killed.
Jiu made good friends, and the gang members who knew Ma Jiu's origins revealed that Ma Jiu had hatred towards Wu Shigong because his wife was betrayed by Wu Shigong.
But Wu Shigong didn't believe this reason for the assassination at all. Wu Shigong had been in Runing Fucheng for such a long time. If Ma Jiu wanted to take revenge, he would have come to Wu Shigong long ago and would not have waited until now. But after seeing those members of the gang,
They really didn't know who instigated Ma Jiu's assassination, so in the end, Wu Shigong had no patience anymore. He became ruthless and ordered the soldiers to beat all the members of the gang to death. Regardless of whether they were unjustly accused or not, this
Even if you kill the wrong person, you won't let it go.
In fact, Wu Shigong already had the answer in his heart, because during this period of time, Wu Shigong only had conflicts with the Qi family, so Wu Shigong did not need evidence at all, it was enough to have suspicion.
And Wu Shigong no longer cares about what his soldiers did to Runing Fucheng. He now has to arrange how to take revenge on the Qi family. Since the Qi family wants his own life, Wu Shigong also wants to
Pray for your family’s life.
But before taking revenge, Wu Shigong had to do one thing first, and that was to ensure the safety of his family. Wu Shigong called Foreman Jiang over and asked him to gather his manpower and use the fastest speed to rescue himself in the Runing camp.
Build a courtyard and build some houses around the courtyard for the military attache's family.
Wu Shigong felt that it was too unsafe for him to live in Runing City. Not to mention the assassins, even the soldiers guarding the city gate were not Wu Shigong's people. If anyone did anything bad to him, he would flee if he was trapped in the city.
Not going out.
Wu Shigong thought that after the courtyard was built, he would move his whole family into it. And in the future, he would also allow the families of the military attachés to move into the houses in the camp. With the protection of his soldiers, Wu Shigong could also
Be more at ease.
Then, Wu Shigong arranged for Yang Rusong to learn how to protect his military attachés so that assassins who could kill them alone would not happen again.
Then, Wu Shigong secretly called Xue Zhinong over and made detailed arrangements for Xue Zhinong. After Xue Zhinong accepted the arrangement, he immediately returned to the Shanchuan Division for general mobilization.
The assassination of Wu Shigong this time also caused a great sensation in Runing Mansion. However, apart from sending people to Wu Shigong to offer some condolences, those officials did not spend any effort to track down the person behind Ma Jiu.
.Because they also thought that they had understood the motive of Ma Jiu's assassination, and believed that it was the hatred caused by Wu Shigong's selling of Ma Jiu's wife.
On the contrary, the gentry who were familiar with Wu Shigong came to visit Wu Shigong with gifts. However, Wu Shigong only accepted the gifts, and after a brief meeting with the gentry, the meeting ended.
The assassination had the greatest impact on Wu Shigong's wives. They were like frightened birds and refused to let Wu Shigong go out. Even Wu Shigong's children were frightened by the dull atmosphere at home.
Tiandu looked at the adults' faces and did not dare to be as lively as usual.
Wu Shigong had no choice but to stay at home and try his best to stop his family from worrying. Taking advantage of this opportunity to stay at home for a long time, Wu Shigong simply took over Manling's house.
On that day, after Wu Shigong took Man Ling into his room, Man Ling fell asleep due to overwork. In this daze, Man Ling seemed to hear Wu Shigong saying to himself: "They should
