I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 218 No.60 Six Assassinations
The Xinyue River meanders and flows long. In the early morning of late June, the wheat fields on both sides of the bank are continuous, and the painting boat cuts through the river surface and drags out long water marks. There is no wind in the morning, and there is a thin mist flowing on the river in the distance. , flat as a mirror, Lu Xizhi stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the large slanting plum groves on the west bank, she subconsciously clenched her fists, and going forward, passing through the peach groves, was Lin County.

Although I have memories of two lifetimes, the sense of alienation that has been separated by a layer of veil can never be removed. Seeing the ferry is just ahead, and thinking of what Donghai and Beixue said, I can't help but feel tight.

It is said that Song Wei was once a descendant of the famous Yunzhou Song family of Da Jin, and the Song family is also considered to be half a military family. After Song Wei passed the martial arts examination, the family had high expectations for him.

The martial arts examination has a classification of status. The status of the Song family is different from that of the bamboo and wooden plaques of the Han clan. He has the privilege of servants to follow and carry protective weapons.

It turns out that in this era, even if you want to fight for justice with a sword and roam the world, you still need a good background.Although the government's control over people's armed use is not so strict that several families share a kitchen knife, ordinary people do not have special identities and certificates. If the public walks through the city with a sword in a large court, if the government finds out, they will be arrested as bandits. , even the slightest resistance will be shot to death.

The Song family was in the former dynasty, and was exposed to help Xiao's army escape, and was ordered by the emperor to disarm all the family. Later, Song Wei took charge of the family and became a member of the "Rebel Army".

"Song Wei is a rebel army, how could he collude with Chang Ren Xin, I have doubts about it." This is what Lu Xizhi said to Donghai, and ordered: "We must find Song Wei!"

"Also, [-] people were rescued. Chang Ren Xinding was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot. He would desperately send soldiers to get rid of them. In addition to strengthening our security, we have to let the people left behind rescue all the people in other brothels. come out."

Donghai and Beixue sat on the paddle boat, with the knife across their knees, and listened to the movement on the pitch-black river. Two guards stood beside them, and the other three guards paddled and steered the boat to the south bank. The river was foggy and hazy. One piece, I couldn't see the situation on the shore clearly, I just followed the sound.

When the boat got closer to the shore, Lu Xizhi found that there were a lot of people gathered on the shore. They were all dressed in rags, holding a bowl in their hands, sitting or standing begging, and dragging their families, including the elderly, weak, women and children.There are even thieves who rob in the street.

It turns out that in addition to the whitewashing and peace in the capital, there are so many "wars and horses and chaos" unbearable.

They encountered no obstacles on the river, but they heard the beggars waving and shouting at the boat.

The boat was approaching the ferry, and there was chaos on the shore. It seemed that officers and soldiers came to chase them away. The terrified refugees fled everywhere. There are also the sounds of shed shelves collapsing, bowls and bowls being overturned and smashed.Howling, wailing, and even the crying of a baby were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish reality from reality on the shore.

"The emperor knows all of these?"

"Chang Chonghu has kept many secrets from the emperor, and sometimes, the emperor's information about Dongchang..." Donghai did not dare to say disrespectful words, but his clenched fists showed the indignation in his heart at the moment.

Near the shoal, about [-] meters away from the shore, the bottom plate of the boat brushed against the beach rocks at the bottom of the river from time to time, and there was a dull friction sound. During the journey, the hull of the boat slammed and hit a stone, making a noise.

The well-refined painting has already caused many refugees to look and shout this way, and even some people jumped into the river with glowing eyes and swam this way.

Donghai and Beixue yelled loudly at them, telling them to go back, but it had no effect at all. Instead, more refugees followed suit and jumped into the river, swimming towards the boat. They thought that such a high-end boat was full of unarmed rich children or young ladies.The evil eyes of some refugees have already burst out like wolves.

Dong Hai cursed in a low voice, drew out his knife and waved it fiercely in the air a few times, trying to scare off those people who had become desperadoes due to hunger.

Bei Xue and the others guarded the boat and watched the people rushing around vigilantly, but they didn't dare to act rashly. First, they were worried about hurting innocent people, and second, they were worried that there might be killers hiding among the refugees.

When the refugees were about to approach the boat, Lu Xizhi spoke:

"You take a fast boat to find a suitable place to go ashore, and come back after you find a safe place. The painting boat anchors in the middle of the river, and we will talk about it at night."

Stopping the boat in the middle of the river during the day is not so easy for the killer to assassinate, and it is relatively safe.

Finally, before nightfall, the boat finally anchored at a private ferry, and negotiated with the owner to stay overnight.

"Miss Lu, our people will arrive tomorrow, why not just rest on the boat for the night?" Bei Xue thought it would be safer to be in the river.

"The killer is cunning. If we dive into the water at night, gouge the ship's plank, and cause water to enter the hull, we will be even more dangerous."

Bei Xue suddenly realized, she blushed and said, "This subordinate is stupid."

******
The leader of the dead warriors stood in the yard, looking at all the subordinates in the courtyard, with serious eyes, and several capable subordinates winked at each other: "Leader, you can go now."

The master sent a total of 15 people this time, to kill all the targets steadily.

"Let's go!" The dead leader's eyes sank: "Go and come back quickly in an hour."

A dozen people cupped their hands at the same time, and dozens of figures in the night sky rushed into the air and quickly disappeared without a sound.

There are cicadas singing in the forest, and praying mantises are catching them.

In the streets and alleys, there are watchmen complaining quietly, with sleepy voices reporting the watch, and singing girls singing in the distance, and the dead men rushed to one of the streets with light skills. They have excellent memory and never forget. , especially the two leaders, found the place accurately.

Except for their ghostly figures, the streets are as empty as a dead city.

"Boss, it's here!"

The dead man pointed to a three-entry house in front of him. At this moment, the house looked quiet and peaceful. The dark courtyard meant that everyone inside was fast asleep.

The leader of the dead soldiers held the handle of the knife and looked around with extreme vigilance: "Be careful of deceit."

"Everyone in this courtyard, kill without mercy!" Just as the leader of the dead soldiers gave the order, there was a slight cracking sound in the night sky.

The intuition trained by the dead warrior reacted first, turning over in the air, dodging the arrows shot from across the air, and the leader's eyes protruded, and they were already in ambush!

A deep voice came from the roof: "Since you're here, there's no need to go back."

The leader stared at the blurred figure on the roof, and shouted: "What a breath!" At the same time as the words fell, the knife was out of its sheath, and stabbed at the person on the roof.

They were all selected top killers, and they wished that one could beat five, not to mention that there were more than a dozen people coming, and it was true that the other party could not stop them just by saying they could stop them.

"Go up." Under the bright moon in the night sky, Dong Hai's indifferent face was revealed.

He, Beixue, Xingyun, and ten Dongchang guards had already arranged everything to wait for this moment. They knew very well that tonight either the enemy would die or they would die.

In the era of ups and downs, even if there was the sound of swords and swords in the night sky, and the people in those houses heard the frightening sound, they just got deeper into the bed, and no one dared to open the door to take a look.

The leader of the dead warriors said coldly: "Let you all go to the underworld to meet up today!"

The murderous aura from the men in black that he brought almost engulfed the entire small courtyard, and they were surrounded in the middle of the courtyard, almost becoming lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Kill." Donghai gave the order indifferently, as if it was commonplace.

The guards beside him moved at the same time, and instantly drew their knives out of their sheaths, and confronted the dead soldiers head-on. Then they realized that what the guards pulled out from their waists were actually not knives, but long swords of cold light.

Seeing the blood seal the throat, the result is life, it is still a sharp sword.

"Ah! Drink!" The dead man roared, and a dozen figures rushed towards Donghai like cold electricity, and Donghai kept his silent posture without changing or moving.

And these dozens of men in black attacked with all their strength, but in an instant, they seemed to be caught in a net.The guards of the East Factory, including Dong Hai, held their swords in front of their chests and turned an arc like a dancer. Immediately, all the attacking knives of the men in black were blocked.

impossible!Even the first-class internal guard master in the palace may not be able to do this!

The leader of the dead warriors took two steps back at once, his eyes were as disdainful as possible: "As long as you hand over those lowly maidservants, you will be spared from death tonight!"

"Dongmou is a person who is not afraid of death. A wise man said that people are most likely to be blinded by a leaf, so they can't see the real situation. It's like... isn't it the same with your 'Purgatory Gate' now?"

The leader of the dead soldiers whose identity was identified was startled, and his eyeballs almost popped out: "Since you toasted and refused to eat fine wine, then I must kill you first today! Then kill those lowly maidservants together! Don't even think about it!" leave alive"

He looked fiercely at the closed door behind Dong Hai, and winked at the subordinates around him.

"watch out!"
