The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 23 [023] Jiao Da's method!Nurhachi's younger brother?

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Jurchen under Jiao Da's feet suddenly pulled out the hatchet embedded in his right arm with his left hand, and wiped it on his neck without hesitation.

"what--"

Accompanied by a scream, bright red blood gushed out like a fountain.

The Jurchen's head tilted, her screaming stopped suddenly, and after a few convulsions and tremblings, she sprawled in all directions and remained motionless.

"Brother Qiang, he is already dead!" Jiao Da sighed with some remorse:
"It's all my fault, I was careless!"

Jia Qiang wanted to comfort him, but suddenly remembered something, turned her head suddenly, and her pupils trembled.

I saw the Jurchen who was injured on his left shoulder struggling to get up, bowing his head and trying to pick up a saber. It seemed that he wanted to commit suicide too!

He is the only survivor now, how can Jia Qiang let him succeed?
"brush--"

The spear pierced the sun like a rainbow, and Jia Qiang threw it like lightning.

"laugh!"

The spear pierced through Jurchen's right shoulder in an instant, pinning him to the ground.

Now, Jurchen's two shoulders have been injured, her two arms can't exert any strength, and she is pinned by the spear and unable to move, so there is no need to worry about him committing suicide again.

Jia Qiang turned her head to look at Jiao Da, and said lightly:
"Jiao Da, come and force him to speak!"

"Brother Qiang, don't worry, wrap it on me!"

Desperate for a chance to pay off his crimes, Jiao Da ran up to the Jurchen with a hatchet in his hand.

"Say it quickly! Who ordered you to assassinate my young master?"

Jiao Da widened his bull's eyes and asked harshly.

He wanted to put the hatchet on the Jurchen's neck, but he was worried that the other party would take the opportunity to wipe his neck and commit suicide.

"You guys kill me! I won't say it!" the Jurchen gritted her teeth, her tone was firm, and her eyes gleamed with sternness and determination.

"If I don't give you some power, you don't know your Uncle Jiao's methods!"

Jiao Da cut open the sleeve of the Jurchens with a hatchet, and cut off a small piece of flesh from his arm.

"what--"

The Jurchens screamed in pain.

This hatchet is not sharp, and a blunt knife cuts flesh, which hurts even more.

Jia Qiang's eyes narrowed slightly, Jiao Da was indeed a veteran who had fought bloody battles in the battlefield and nearly died.

Although Jiao Da's methods were a bit cruel, Jia Qiang did not stop him.

The Jurchen wanted to kill herself just now, so it is not too much to kill him directly now.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

"Are you going to tell me?" Jiao Da asked coldly.

"I, I won't say it!" The Jurchen's lips were trembling with pain, sweat was streaming down her face, but her attitude was still firm.

Jiao Da continued to cut his flesh.

Ask every time you cut a piece.

The Jurchens screamed in pain, trembling all over, and their attitude gradually softened, not as tough as it was at the beginning.

After Jiao Da cut off the ninth piece of meat, the Jurchens finally gave in, broke down and cried, begging for mercy:

"Uncle Jiao, please don't cut it! I said, can't I say it?"

Uncle Jiao snorted coldly and said:

"It's really cheap! If you said it earlier, wouldn't you have to suffer this crime? Say it quickly! Otherwise, I will castrate you!"

"Don't, don't, don't! I'm telling you!" The Jurchen was completely panicked, and confessed everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans:

"We are Murhazi's subordinates. Our master learned that your son threw his brother-in-law into a tree, so he wanted to kill your son."

Jia Qiang's pupils shrank slightly, and asked coldly:

"Your master's full name is Aixinjueluo Murhazi?"

The Jurchen bit her lip, struggled for a while, and nodded in agreement.

The corners of Jia Qiang's lips raised slightly. It turned out that the Jurchen who was thrown into the tree by herself was Murhazi's brother-in-law. No wonder Murhazi wanted to go to war to kill herself.

Liu Xianglian asked curiously:

"Brother Qiang, do you know his master?"

Jia Qiang shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know him, but I know his master's name is Murhaqi, and he is Aixinjueluo Nurhachi's second younger brother."

"So it's his younger brother!" Liu Xianglian murmured, her eyes frowned slightly.

"You know him?" Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and asked.

Liu Xianglian responded:

"I don't know him, but I heard that he is the leader of the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou. He often sends troops to conquer the surrounding tribes. He can be regarded as a hero outside the pass."

As soon as these words came out, the Jurchen's teary face suddenly showed a look of complacency, and said with a cold snort:

"Since you know the prestige of our Patriarch, why don't you let me go quickly?"

Jia Qiang sneered and said:
"Your master is an ambitious wolf, and has been coveting our Daming country, how can he have any prestige? At best, he is just a foreign bandit with evil intentions!

Say it!Where are Nurhachi and Murhazi now? "

Liu Xianglian was slightly startled:
Brother Qiang is truly a hero who is peerless in the world, looking down on the world, swallowing mountains and rivers with anger!
In his mouth, Nurhachi, the hero outside the pass, is just a bandit like a chicken and a dog.

What a boldness!
Jiao Da's heart was also surging, his chest was agitated, and tears filled his cloudy old eyes.

Ningguo Mansion has finally produced a promising junior!
When he was young, Jiao Da followed Jia Yan, the grandfather of Ningguo Mansion, to gallop on the battlefield, and witnessed Jia Yanhan's heroic spirit of fighting bloody battles without fear of death.

However, the descendants of the Jia family are not as good as one generation after another.

The unworthy descendants of Jia's family "climb ashes, and those who raise uncles raise younger uncles", they are licentious, drunk and dreamy, and extravagant.

Seeing that the Jia family was about to lose their fortune and the building would collapse, they did not expect that Jia Qiang, an outstanding phoenix young Linzi, a young leader, would finally appear!

The revival of the Jia family is expected, and it will live up to the glory of the ancestors!
Jiao Da was extremely excited and his blood boiled.

Because Liu Xianglian just said that Nurhachi can be regarded as a hero, it added a bit of arrogance to the Jurchen's heart.

Therefore, when she heard Jia Qiang's question, the Jurchen turned her face away defiantly, pouted her neck, clenched her teeth and said nothing.

"Say it quickly, or I'll castrate you!" Jiao Da yelled angrily, and at the same time he swiped at his crotch with a hatchet.

"I'll say it! I'll say it!" The Jurchen almost peed in fright, and hastily confessed:
"The head of our family, Nurhachi, is in Hetuala City outside the pass, and the second head, Murhaqi, is currently staying at the Juxian Inn in Shenjing City."

Jiao Da asked coldly:

"Which room in the inn does Murhazi live in?"

"A room on the second floor."

"How many of you? Others live in those rooms?"

"Apart from our second owner, there are 16 people left in the inn. We have taken over the entire second floor of the inn."

The Jurchen asked tremblingly, "I've said everything I need to say, can I go now?"

Jiao Da looked at Jia Qiang with an inquiring gaze, waiting for his instructions.

"Kill it!" Jia Qiang spat out three words lightly.

"You" the Jurchen wanted to say something, but Jiao Da slashed on the side of her neck.

In the gushing mist of blood, the Jurchen clutched her neck and fell limply to the ground. After convulsing and trembling a few times, her pupils became dilated and she remained motionless.

Jia Qiang didn't even bother to look at him again, he would not be merciful to those who wanted to kill him.

Seeing no one around, Liu Xianglian came up to him and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Qiang, should we kill that Murhazi?"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said:

"Brother Liu Shi is indeed my confidant and friend, you want to go with me."

Jiao Da immediately patted his chest and said impassionedly, "I'll go too!"

"Okay, so many people have died here, and a large number of officers and soldiers will soon be attracted. Let's leave here first, and then think about it in the long run!"

Jia Qiang led Liu Xianglian and Jiao Da to choose a secluded private room in Yuanyang Hot Pot Restaurant, closed the doors and windows, and discussed plans while eating.

After drinking and eating, the three of them made a plan.

Jia Qiang plans to go to the Juxian Inn at midnight tonight and assassinate Murhazi.

Up to now, Nurhachi has not raised an army against the Ming Dynasty. He is still the Dragon and Tiger General of the Ming Dynasty in name, and he is a second-rank official.

Therefore, he could not kill his second brother Murhazi openly, but could only assassinate him without anyone noticing.

Murhaqi is ferocious by nature, brave and strategic, brave and good at fighting, he is Nurhachi's right-hand man,

Just now, Murhazi sent his men to ambush Jia Qiang, and he has become Jia Qiang's life and death enemy.

Jia Qiang estimated that if Murhazi was not killed, he would send someone to kill him in the future.

Whether it is out of personal enmity, or for the sake of the great cause of changing the dynasty and resisting foreign enemies in the future, Jia Qiang must get rid of them.

In order to ensure that no one leaked the news afterwards, Jia Qiang only took Liu Xianglian and Jiao Da together, and did not use the ten martial arts guards in the restaurant for the time being.

For such a secret assassination operation, the fewer people involved, the better, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

As the saying goes, "Things are done with secrets, and words are used to vent their failures. Those who plan big things hide in their hearts and act on things."

However, there is a "night ban" regulation in Daming.

That is, you are not allowed to go out at night.

At 24:[-] in the evening, that is, at [-]:[-] in the evening, the evening drum will be sounded, and travel is prohibited from this moment.

Only when the morning bell is rung at [-] o'clock in the morning, that is, at [-]:[-] in the morning, the traffic ban will be lifted.

If a person walks on the street at the second, third, or fourth watch, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, he must be beaten forty times (fifty in the capital).

After the night ban on the first watch and before the ban on the fifth watch is lifted, those who violate the regulations and go out at night will be beaten [-] times ([-] times in the capital).

Only in special cases such as illness, childbirth, death or death, can they pass through.

In order to avoid encountering watchmen and officers and soldiers who were watching the night, Jia Qiang led Liu Xianglian and Jiao Da to set off early and rush to the vicinity of the Juxian Inn before dusk fell.

Prepare to find a place to lurk first.

For the convenience of movement, Jia Qiang did not bring the bulky Tianlong City Breaker Halberd, but only wrapped the Breaker Overlord Spear with a coarse cloth, and tied it with a rope to carry it on her back.

Liu Xianglian held the Mandarin Duck Sword in her hand.

Jiao Da took a waist knife with a sheath.

The two also wrapped their weapons in cloth to avoid attracting attention.

When Jia Qiang and the other three walked out of the restaurant, there were two guards from Jin Yiwei hiding behind a sycamore tree opposite the restaurant.

They happened to see the whereabouts of Jia Qiang and the other three, and quickly reported to Qiu Chen.

After hearing this, Qiu Chen wondered what Jia Qiang was going to do as night fell.
He immediately led four hidden guards and secretly followed Jia Qiang and the other three to protect Jia Qiang secretly.
