A moist southeasterly wind blew during the night, and suddenly the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain.
At Li's Liquor Shop, the old horseman slowly walked into Gan Xin's room with an oil lamp in his hand.
After closing the door, the old groom put the oil lamp aside and said, "Master, the man is dead."
Gan Xin nodded slightly and said: "There are many people and many hands, and Yangcheng is in chaos, so it is easiest to kill people."
"Okay, I'll send a message back to the Jade Buddha Tower tomorrow. It will be considered as completing the mission."
The old horseman nodded and said, "Yes."
The old groom went out again with the oil lamp, looked up at the cloudy sky, and hurried back to his room to sleep.
...
In the Yangcheng mansion, Lu Qichang slept particularly peacefully listening to the rumbling thunder.
When he got up the next morning, Lu Qichang walked on the muddy streets and climbed up the city wall. Looking at the filled moat, he admired in his heart: This Zhao Lun is so smart, it actually rained heavily.
Immediately, Lu Qichang felt a little lucky that Zhao Lun was dead.
Otherwise, if Zhao Lun becomes a Taiwei, his military power will definitely be taken away.
"Heaven is jealous of talents!"
Lu Qichang deliberately shook his head and sighed, then entered the prefect's mansion.
When we arrived at Houya, Shi Le had just gotten up.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Lun died last night."
Lu Qichang looked sad, as if his own father had died.
Shi Le was stunned for a moment and asked: "Dead? How did you die?"
Lu Qichang reported truthfully: "While patrolling outside the city last night, I was stung by a poisonous scorpion and died from the poison. The doctor looked at me and said there is no cure."
Shi Le looked at Lu Qichang in shock and muttered to himself: "Poisonous scorpion?"
There was a drought around Yangcheng, and poisonous scorpions were very common. Many people died from the poisonous stings.
But Zhao Lun's death always made Shi Le feel strange.
"He was stung by a poisonous scorpion? Wasn't he assassinated?"
"That Long Chengen has a close relationship with Wanjinlou. Could it be Wanjinlou who did it?"
Although Shen Wanjin has not publicly acknowledged his identity, everyone can guess that he is Shen Wanjin.
I also know that Long Chen cooperates with Wan Jinlou.
However, no one can do anything, so what if they cooperate? Who can do anything to Long Chen?
Lu Qichang shook his head and said, "The doctor has looked at it and found that he was stung by a poisonous scorpion."
Shi Le said helplessly: "That's all, we're all dead, what's going on with the second girl?"
Shi Le asked the second princess Shi Jingxiang to form a women's army. After some time passed, there was no news from Xingqing City, so Shi Le asked again.
Lu Qichang said: "It should be soon. I will send someone to urge it."
Shi Le nodded and said, "Go ahead. Zhao Lun is dead. Please pay more attention to Yangcheng's defense."
Lu Qichang bowed and said, "Wei ministers accept the decree."
Lu Qichang withdrew from Houya, and Shi Le continued to practice.
After returning to his residence, Lu Qichang immediately wrote a letter and sent it back to the Privy Council of Xingqing City.
When the messenger arrived at the city gate, he saw the old horseman buying wine again.
The old horseman drove the carriage and headed east as usual, passing Zhenguo Temple, arriving at the Jade Buddha Pass, and finally stopped at the Jade Buddha Tower.
When the waiter saw the old horseman coming, he smiled and said: "Old horse, it's a little early today."
The old horseman smiled and said: "It was early rather than late. It rained last night and I was worried that the road would be difficult."
The clerk smiled and said, "That's the old rule. You pay the bill and I'll load the car for you."
The old horseman immediately took the silver and entered Zhang Fang, where Li Sanniang was waiting for him.
"Zhao Lun is dead, the mission is completed."
The old horseman spoke concisely and to the point, and handed the money to Li Sanniang.
Li Sanniang took the money and said, "I understand."
After placing the order, the old horseman loaded up the car and left as usual.
The carriage came out of the backyard, followed by a carriage with a coffin on it. Two men drove the carriage east.
The old coachman glanced at the coffin, waved the whip in his hand, and drove the carriage west.
This coffin was naturally arranged by Yan Shuangyu to send Meng Lan's body back to the capital.
The carriage left slowly, and Yan Shuangyu stood on the second floor watching the carriage leave.
"Hope everything is OK."
Yan Shuangyu sighed slightly.
Although something like this happened to Meng Lan, it had nothing to do with Yan Shuangyu. It was normal for someone to die in an accident when they went out to do business, so they couldn't blame others.
However, Yan Shuangyu always felt uncomfortable.
If Long Chen deliberately played a trick to make Meng Lan disappear, it means that Long Chen and Meng Lan were having an affair.
Yan Shuangyu felt like there was sand in her eyes and felt very unhappy.
She and Long Chen had just hooked up, and someone had stepped in. She was like a third party. This feeling was very disgusting.
The carriage slowly headed east out of the east gate, and the two guys continued walking eastward.
The old horseman drove the carriage to the vicinity of Zhenguo Temple again.
Fuhui was riding a horse, holding a long whip in his hand, and shouted domineeringly at the farming monks: "Be more agile. Spring rain is as precious as oil. It rained last night. You must put in more effort today."
"When the crops are ready, everyone can save some. King Wu is kind to us, so we can't be lazy."
The old groom looked at Fu Hui's arrogant look and secretly cursed him for being a bitch.
The old horseman continued walking west and passed Zhenguo Temple.
On the city wall, Long Chen watched the old horseman disappear into the sky.
He Juntao said: "Sir, this person should be a Ganxin person."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said, "Follow this horseman's search and see where Gan Xin is."
Long Chen had to dig out the secrets that Shen Wanjin had ambushed one by one.
Some time ago, I saw that there was no threat to Wanjin Tower. The relationship between Shen Wanjin and Long Chen was quite harmonious, and Long Chen had no intention of getting rid of them.
But what happened to Meng Lan this time made Long Chen reconsider the eradication of Wanjin Tower.
After giving so many benefits, she actually still bites the embroiderer. Shen Wanjin must die!
"As commanded."
He Juntao immediately went to make arrangements.
...
The words are divided into two parts.
When the old coachman drove the carriage back to Yangcheng, the two men from the Jade Buddha Tower drove the carriage and pulled the coffin east back to the capital.
There was a heavy rain last night and the road was muddy and difficult to walk on. The two of them were driving the carriage unsteadily. The scorching sun above their heads steamed the muddy water on the ground, making people feel hot and stuffy.
"Why did you end up on such a errand? It's bad luck!"
The boy on the left looked back at the coffin and spat on the wooden board.
The waiter on the right advised: "The deceased is the most important person, please keep your mouth shut."
The guy on the left snorted coldly: "Bullshit talk, have you forgotten what we do? We will definitely go to hell after we die. Do you still want to go to the bliss of the West? If you can't get to the capital, you go and pay homage to Master Mojie."
?”
The guy on the right ignored him because he knew he was talking nonsense.
The boy on the left was cursing, and the carriage moved forward slowly. When encountering pedestrians and business travelers on the road, they all stayed away.
The most taboo thing about encountering unclean things when going out is that no one is willing to approach them.
"Let me tell you, it will be bad luck for anyone who sees us."
The guy on the left spat again.
The guy on the right said helplessly: "Er Gouzi, please stop saying a few words."
The guy on the left was immediately unhappy when he heard the other person calling him by his nickname, and retorted: "Donkey Dan, it's none of your business what I'm talking about."
The donkeydan guy felt unhappy, but he didn’t want to continue talking. There were only two people on the road.
Seeing the sun setting in the west, the donkeydan guy said: "Find a place to rest, the horse is also tired."
Ergouzi sneered: "Living in a hotel with a coffin, do you really want the store owner to get promoted and make a fortune?"
Donkey Dan said unhappily: "Then you want to sleep in the wilderness? Are you going to sleep with the coffin?"
Er Gouzi patted the coffin on the carriage and said with a smile: "I heard that Meng Lan is a great beauty. It's a pity. It's a pity that her head is broken, otherwise..."
Donkey Dan said with disgust: "You also miss dead people? Isn't it disgusting?"
Ergouzi sneered: "Have you never slept with a dead person?"
When training these assassins, in order to overcome their inner fear, they would find a new grave they had just buried, dig out the soil, and sleep with the dead in the coffin for three days.
A reed tube will be left on the coffin for ventilation, so the assassin will not suffocate to death inside.
Donkey Dan ignored Er Gouzi and continued to drive the carriage forward.
Ergouzi was still chattering: "We are not human beings, we are just beasts..."
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in front.
These people are all women. The women are wearing white dresses with cloud patterns embroidered on them and veils on their faces.
The two women in the front are carrying two incense burners, the woman behind is holding a long sword, and in the middle is a sedan chair.
As night fell, a group of women in white appeared, and Donkey Dan suddenly felt creepy.
"Ghost marriage?"
Ergouzi was also frightened, and the whip in his hand accidentally hit the horse's butt.
The horse ran forward two steps and quickly approached the team in front.
As I got closer, I saw that the middle sedan was made of golden nanmu and was surrounded by golden gauze curtains. There seemed to be a woman sitting inside.
Seeing this woman, Er Gouzi and Lu Dan knew that she was not a ghost, but her identity was obviously not simple.
The two couldn't help but speed up, and the carriage moved forward quickly, wanting to get there as soon as possible.
