Zhang Wu locked the courtyard door, returned to the room, and did not turn off the candles, shook the wide bedding open, covered his head and went to bed.
Gradually, it was late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the cold alley was silent, with traces of cold mist rising.
A strong black shadow sneaked in the alley like a spirit cat, and soon came outside the courtyard wall of Zhang Wu's house.
His name is Yang Cang, known as the Poison King of Nanshan. He was born in a famous family, but he did not want to serve the court and just wanted to go around the world.
I have been sitting in a tea shop at the entrance of the long alley for two days.
Always looking for an opportunity to assassinate Zhang Wu.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to start during the blue sky and the sun. If you don’t go out or eat anything outside, you will have nowhere to use it.
At night, Ma Liu was with him, so he had to wait patiently.
As long as you kill Zhang Wu, you can get a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, which is enough to be free for many years.
At night, Ma Liu left the Zhang family unexpectedly. Although he felt something was abnormal and something was wrong, Yang Cang couldn't wait.
As soon as the family urged them hard.
Secondly, he is a wanted criminal in the court.
Since the establishment of the Zhenfu Department, the capital has become a forbidden place for experts in the martial arts world.
Unless you come to join the Pacification Department, you will never enter Beijing easily unless you have to.
Yang Cang did not climb over the wall. He knew how Wang Erdan died, and he laughed in his heart that this guy was a fool.
Since you can climb over a four-meter-high wall, why not jump onto the roof of your neighbor's house and observe the situation in Zhangwu's yard first?
Looking down from a high place, the candlelight in the house was flashing, which may be because of the cooking of the kang. The ash gas had not yet dissipated. Through the window, you could see the person on the bed covered with a quilt.
Following the high wall, he quietly came to the roof of Zhang Wu's room. Yang Cang carefully uncovered the tiles and blew the tubular poisonous smoke into the room.
This smoke is his highest achievement. As long as anyone takes a breath, he will immediately become mentally paralyzed and his whole body will become paralyzed.
If you suck too much, you will die suddenly!
What is the indestructible magic of the Vajra, what is the strong internal force, and when encountering this poisonous smoke, you will have to stop eating.
After blowing the smoke, he did not leave.
The target must be determined to die before you can go back and submit the work.
Besides, Zhang Wu has a huge sum of 5,000 taels of money, which is considered a reward for this industry and must be obtained.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, he was sure that even if Hutulong was resurrected, he knew that someone was coming to assassinate him and deliberately kept his breath, he would definitely die so much that he could not die again. He was ready to act.
Human breathing is not just based on the mouth and nose.
Even if you hold your breath, your skin will absorb poisonous smoke, and smoke will penetrate into your ears and eyes.
A quarter of an hour is enough to kill a top-notch master.
After lifting a few more tiles, Yang Cang held the leaves in his mouth, which was the antidote to poisonous smoke. He jumped into the house, squatted on his knees, staring at the bed.
As an old man, he would not personally remove the bed and quilt, so as not to be attacked and stabbed to death by others.
Take out the rope hook from behind the waist, swing it to the bed, hook it and pull it hard—
"Empty?"
Yang Cang was shocked.
The place covered by the quilt covers a black hole and leads directly to the ground!
Zhang Wu obviously escaped through the underground passage.
Suddenly, Yang Cang's eyes turned black, and he felt that his whole body was losing strength, and he fainted on the ground with a thud.
"The firewood smoke is poisonous!"
...
Ten families away from Zhang Wu's family, there is Ichiro's official. The house is built very tall and has two floors. It is much taller than the roof of the Zhang Wu family. It is the commanding height of the entire alley.
Two figures are hidden on the roof, overlooking the entire alley.
"Uncle Six, this guy has been in for a while, it should be almost done, right?"
"Let's go, even if he doesn't faint, we're enough to beat him to death!"
Ma Liu and Zhang Wu jumped on the roof and fell into their own yard. They soaked the water in the yard tank with cloth, covered their noses, and pushed the door open and saw the assassination man lying on the ground.
Ma Liu pulled away the black cloth on the other person's face. He was first shocked, and then seemed to have figured out something, and his face changed drastically.
"Uncle Six, what's wrong?"
Zhang Wu asked quickly.
"This Liu Qing is really cruel!"
Ma Liu's voice was trembling, and he was afraid of an old man who was powerless.
"Liu Qing?"
Zhang Wu frowned, not sure why.
Ma Liu explained:
"This guy is named Yang Cang, and he is also a first-class expert. He is a descendant of the Yang family in the capital. His ancestors once entered the cabinet and reached the first rank. In recent years, the Yang family has gradually declined, but he is still a prominent family in the capital. This son was very stubborn in his early years.
, The murders were done on the street, and the matter was very big. The emperor knew that he could only escape from the capital and wander around the world."
"Then what does he have to do with Liu Qing?" Zhang Wu asked in confusion.
"His mother's surname is Liu! She is Liu Qing's daughter!"
"What?"
Zhang Wu suddenly became stunned.
Is this Yang Cang Liu Qing’s nephew?
In other words, the murderer who bought it to death was Liu Qing!
He wanted the Minister of Works to die in prison.
"What exactly does this Liu Qing want to do?"
Zhang Wu couldn't imagine how cruel this guy was to attack the second-in-command of his faction?
He looks like a weak scholar on the surface, but he is so vicious in secret!
"I can understand that someone else killed the Minister of Works. Is this Liu Qing crazy?"
"He's not crazy."
Uncle Six said tremblingly:
"He is a hero who cuts his arm!"
Zhang Wu was stunned, and Ma Liu explained:
"Liu Qing has been in jail for a year and a half. There is no news of his recovery in the outside world. He was forgotten in the corner by the emperor. How would he die and live?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Wu understood.
If you die first, then die the Minister of Works, and then die the Minister of Works. The Heavenly Prison will immediately become the focus of the court and the public.
When all the civil and military officials in the court looked here, the emperor would also look here, and remembered that there was a person like him in the prison.
Everyone would think that his group of people was persecuted, so that they could win the sympathy of everyone, especially the emperor.
All emperors have a rebellious mentality. I want to protect the people you want to be aware of, and I want to support the people you want to suppress, and let them fight against you... This is a balance technique.
As long as the Minister of Works dies, the deadlock can be broken.
"I'm a kid wearing a crotch with these big men in the court."
Zhang Wu felt a little glad that thanks to Han Shanlai himself, he didn't have a fever in his brain when he entered the officialdom.
"Uncle Six, what should I do?"
"If Liu Qing can't come out, we can arrest him and go to the tutoring department, arrest the wanted criminal for merit, and then secretly kill him, but now we can't move."
Ma Liu gave Yang Cangmeng the black cloth back, quietly closed the door, restored the scene, and thought that he had never come back.
Even if Yang Cang woke up, he would only think that he had failed and was not hurt, and he would not be able to defeat this revenge.
Leaving the long alley, Ma Liu said:
"You stay at your uncle's house for a few days first, and wait for the official documents of your Honor General Banner to be published. As long as Liu Qing is not ill in his mind, he will not dare to touch you again. Otherwise, he will offend the tutoring department and he will never think about his life."
