Chapter 539: Expensive Assassin
Chapter 539 The Generous Assassin
The man in Tsing Yi looked at the swill bucket that fell to the side of the young man. There was no swill flowing out of this bucket, and it was obviously ‘empty’ inside——
At this time, a carriage approached and stopped to check the situation.
"What's the matter?" The coachman jumped off the seat.
At the same time, a figure flashed out of the carriage, using the carriage body and the night as a cover, quickly stepping forward and moving quickly to entrain the black shadow next to the swill bucket onto the carriage.
It was chaotic all around, and there were several interested people hiding from the side, so no one noticed the abnormality.
"How did you ride a horse, I said?"
"This is the swill transported from the palace. Now that I have spilled this, how can I wait to explain to the master's house?"
Several guys complained that it was difficult to start.
"Everyone calmed down, this is indeed the fault of the offense. This horse has just been tamed for a few days, and somehow it committed the wildness and ran into everyone..."
The guys were even more angry when they heard it.
"A horse that has just been tamed dare to ride in the city, and is not afraid—" a man just said, saw that he suddenly passed a few golden leaves in front of him, his eyes widened, his tone of voice fell unconsciously, even two points Kindly groaned: "...Don't be afraid of hurting yourself? It's better to get another horse for such a fierce horse."
"Yes." Xiao Qi, who had specially modified his eyebrows and complexion, stuffed the golden leaf over: "Buy a jug of wine for everyone."
"It's easy to say..." The man showed a cheerful smile, put away the golden leaf, and asked in a chatty, "I haven't asked you which son you are?"
——I don’t know where do you ride horses on weekdays?
"Zai Xia is just a foreigner, come to visit Beijing." Xiao Qi salutes again, and the tone of her speech is indeed not serious Beijing dialect: "There are still important things in Xia, but it is not good to accompany you to clean up together. I have to work harder for you all."
"It doesn't matter, if the son has something important, don't delay it."
"Farewell."
Xiao Qi got on the horse and left, and several men gathered around holding the golden leaf and blossomed happily.
Where is the horse? It is clearly the God of Wealth!
"It's okay, I'll clean up quickly, brothers, go drinking and eating meat!" The headed man urged with a smile.
Several people quickly lifted the swill bucket onto the carriage and drove away from here.
Not long after walking out, the man who drove the car at the back suddenly thought of something. He stopped the mule and looked behind him: "Wait... No!"
"What's wrong? Surprised?"
The man pointed to the car board behind him. When he was about to speak, he heard a rush of horseshoes approaching.
All of them subconsciously raised their eyes and looked over.
The sound of horseshoes got closer and closer, and the night was soon cleared, and they came to the eyes of a few people.
After seeing the clothes of those people, all the men changed their colors.
is Jishiwei!
When I was about to pull the mule cart aside to make way for a child, I saw that the pedestrian was turned over and turned down. The head of the person drew a knife and walked towards them, and asked in a cold voice: "The car is from Xixiaomen today. The swill shipped out?"
Looking at the long knife that was shining with cold light, the few people were so scared that their faces became earthy and nodded like garlic.
"I have been responsible for transporting swill for several years, I don't know what the officials do..." the headed man asked boldly.
However, the guard did not pay attention to him. He went straight to a mule cart and picked up the wooden lid of a bucket with a long knife.
A sour gas rushed straight into his forehead, and the security guard frowned and looked into the barrel, but his face changed. When the knife in his hand was turned, the tip of the knife pointed at a man: "Why is this barrel? Is it empty?! What was inside it!"
If you want to pretend to be someone, you must use an empty bucket!
"This...this place originally contained swill, but it accidentally collided with a fierce horse head-on on the way back, and then it spilled out!" The man's voice was anxious and trembled: "If the official doesn't believe it, You can check them one by one...More than this bucket is empty on the car!"
The security guard jumped his brow when he heard the words, and turned his head to signal his men to come forward and check.
The lids of the scum buckets were removed. It can be seen that many of them are empty, and some have only half of them left.
"When and where did you collide? Does Marco have a master!"
The man was already sweating profusely with fright: "It's in Yongqin Alley just behind Caishikou...The man said he was from a different place! Dare to ask the official, this...what the **** is going on?"
Jishiwei's gaze swept across the few men, with a cold scrutiny: "Today, an assassin was hiding in a bucket of swill and leaving the palace. Had you not noticed it at all!"
These people carry swill to the palace all the year round or there are indeed people who don’t know, but if no one of them cooperates, it’s impossible!
"Assassin, assassin?!"
"This... how is this possible!"
"I... sir, I thought of a suspicious person!" The face of the man who had stopped talking before changed and swallowed nervously.
"Say!"
The man said: "Today, there was a stranger with us. He was originally from a foreign country and wanted to find an errand to do. The master saw that he was still honest and reliable... It just so happens that one of us has recently become ill and has lost one of us. It was moved with the car, so the master's family asked this person to go with us!"
As soon as this statement came out, the other three men subconsciously looked around.
Yes, there is a young man named Guo with them today!
Wait—what about people?
That young man!
"It must have been just before we were not paying attention and ran with the man riding the horse! They must be in a group!" The guy was surprised afterwards-good guy, the current assassin is so generous. , What's wrong with this family?
Qishiwei gritted his teeth.
It's still a step too late!
"Which way did they escape!"
"Go east from Yongqin Lane!"
"Deng Jiu, take the two of them to stay and watch them first, and the others will follow me!" Before the guard got on the horse, he glanced at a few men lastly: "If anyone would dare to tell the story of tonight by half a word , Be careful of your heads!"
……
The curfew is approaching, and the Xuesheng Tea House in Chengnan Lane has closed its doors and no longer welcomes guests.
At this time, a green wagon slowly stopped at the back door of the tea house.
A maid jumped out of the car first, and knocked on the back door of the teahouse.
Immediately afterwards, a girl wearing a bright blue embroidered white blue silk thin shirt and a moon-colored woven gold skirt stepped out of the carriage.
With a soft "squeak", the door quickly opened a small slit, and half of his head came out of the slit. After seeing the girl standing under the moonlight, Shou Mingshi pushed the door open. Welcoming with a smile, she lowered her voice and said, "Miss Xu, please come in."
Xu Mingyi took A Zhu into the teahouse.
"The son hasn't arrived yet, but the person has already been brought back. Would you like Miss Xu to see you first?" Shou Ming asked in a low voice.
Good evening everyone
