Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() This has been the summer of the fourth year of Chongzhen.After Wu Shigong sent Li Pengfei and the Jinyi guards away, he immediately sent someone to Lu Yunhuan to issue an order: Lu Yunhuan was forbidden to go to Qi's house to get salt. In the future, all salt sold by Lu Yunhuan would come to Wu Shigong.Of course, the price will be higher.However, Wu Shigong also assured Lu Yunhuan that he would support Lu Yunhuan in raising the price of salt in his sales area.

Regarding Wu Shigong's order, Lu Yunhuan didn't even dare to let go, so he agreed.Lu Yunhuan was well aware of Wu Shigong's methods, and he could only sigh at home, why Wu Shigong refused to accept women from his clan?In this way, Lu Yunhuan can talk a little better!

Wu Shigong didn't know that Qi's family had made so many tricks in Henan officialdom until after Li Pengfei came.Of course Wu Shigong wanted to teach the Qi family a lesson.Of course, Wu Shigong didn't do anything wrong, he didn't touch Qijia's salt goods sales in other places in Runing Mansion, he just moved the salt goods sales area that Wang Mi was in charge of.

Wu Shigong just wanted to suppress Qi's family, and if Qi's family was a little more knowledgeable and asked Wu Shigong's salt farm to ship salt to Henan, Wu Shigong might also make some concessions to Qi's family accordingly.

Wang Mi saw that the area he was in charge of had been completely occupied by the salt cargo that Wu Shigong brought from Changlu.For him now, there is no need to stay in Henan anymore, so Wang Mi also arranged his salutes and prepared to return to Yangzhou.

But at this time, one of Wang Mi's guards found him. This guard was the one who was familiar with the local situation in Runing Mansion when Wang Mi went to contact Li Yaozi for the salt business.

Because Wang Mi was about to leave the Runing Mansion, just a few days ago, Wang Mi settled the accounts with the guard and dismissed the guard.And because the guard lost his job, he had to go back to the rivers and lakes to live that kind of precarious life, so he especially wanted Wang Mi to open up the sales of salt goods and stay in Runing Mansion.

After the guard found Wang Mi, he said to Wang Mi: "Master, in fact, I have a way to get rid of that Wu Shoubei, master, do you want to try it?"

"What way?" Wang Mi asked in bewilderment.He couldn't figure out how, even his Qi family couldn't solve the problem, how could this guard solve it.

"Just hire someone to kill him!" The guard whispered in Wang Mi's ear.

The guard's words startled Wang Mi.You know, it is not uncommon for them to use such illegal means to snatch the market, but they often face ordinary people with no background.And to assassinate an official, once it is exposed, it will definitely be a catastrophe, so they will never allow this kind of behavior in Qijia.

So Wang Mi immediately shook his head and said, "This is not acceptable."

The guard was not discouraged, and he continued to persuasion: "Master, I know that you have done nothing wrong, but this time when the master returns to Yangzhou, he has to go to Qi's house to have a big meal. But the master only needs to After solving the big trouble of Wu Shoubei, then the master still has a chance to make a comeback. Besides, he has thought carefully about the small matters, and will definitely not let the assassination of Wu Shoubei be involved in you, the master."

The guard's words moved Wang Mi's heart, he frowned and said, "Then tell me, what are you going to do?"

"Master, we are..." The guard still lowered his voice and whispered in Wang Mi's ear for a long time.

The more Wang Mi listened, the more excited he became. After asking the guard a few questions, Wang Mi gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Just do what you say. Remember, I can give you the money first, but I have to wait until I After you leave Henan, you can do it again."

In the early morning, after Wu Shigong's morning exercise as usual, accompanied by more than a dozen guards, he took his own man Laifeng and Xiaopoor out for a walk.Wu Shigong talked and laughed with the guards, followed the familiar route and turned into an alley.This alley is relatively spacious. At the entrance of the alley, there is a stall selling hot and dry noodles.Some people who got up early were squatting and eating hot dry noodles.

Ma Jiu squatted on the ground eating hot dry noodles. He was tasteless, but mechanically picked the noodles into his mouth with the chopsticks in his hand.Ma Jiu knew that this might be his last meal, because he had already seen his enemy turn into the alley.

Ma Jiu also joined the Holy Spirit Society at that time, and later took his whole family to participate in the rebellion with Master Mou.But then a group of Ming troops came and defeated the Holy Spirit Society, and Master Mou was also trampled to death by chaotic horses.

At that time, Ma Jiu took the whole family to escape, but in the process of escaping, Ma Jiu's old mother, several children and his wife were lost one after another. In the end, Ma Jiu also took his father and the only remaining son to escape. out.

If that's the case, Ma Jiu might just accept her fate.But after that, after Ma Jiu inquired about the whereabouts of her family, she learned that her mother and several other children were missing, but her wife was sold by the dog official in front of her to the dog official's subordinates Got a concubine.

At that time, Ma Jiu also met several people who had the same experience, and wanted to rescue his wife, but after those people arrived on the territory of the dog official, they were reported and arrested one after another, and they were all regarded as the remnants of the Holy Spirit Society Beheaded.Seeing this situation, Ma Jiu also had to resist her urge to save his wife.

But later, Ma Jiu became a bandit, but his bandit stronghold was broken by the dog official in front of him, and in the process, Ma Jiu's father also lost his life.

Ma Jiu, who escaped again, had no choice but to bring his son, according to a relationship he had made when he was a bandit, to Runing Fucheng, and became a thug.

Because Ma Jiu saw blood when he was a bandit, he quickly made a name for himself in the gang.But in the final analysis, Ma Jiu is just a thug, and his life is still tight.

But a few days ago, Ma Jiu met a friend in the rivers and lakes to find Ma Jiu, and introduced Ma Jiu to a business of assassination.For this business, Ma Jiu was offered 2000 taels of silver.

The friend also promised that as long as Ma Jiu succeeded, even if something happened to Ma Jiu, that friend would take Ma Jiu's son to Jiangnan to raise him, and let his son read and write.

It should be said that the price of 2000 taels of silver has already moved Ma Jiu's heart, and when he learned that the one who was going to assassinate was the dog official who sold his wife, Ma Jiu immediately agreed to the deal.

Ma Jiu knew that he had very little hope of surviving the assassination of the dog official, but as long as he killed him, he would not only avenge his hatred for taking his wife, but also leave his son a lifetime of money.

Besides, Ma Jiu has been in Runing Fucheng for a long time, and he is very familiar with the roads in this city.If you are lucky, you can still escape through the just opened gate.Then why not take a chance?

Seeing Wu Shigong's pedestrians getting closer, Ma Jiu took a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, and swallowed what might be the last mouthful of rice in his life.Then he put the rice bowl on the ground, took out the sharp knife in his arms, and rushed over with a stride.

Ma Jiu pushed away the unprepared guard beside Wu Shigong, aimed at Wu Shigong's lower abdomen, and stabbed the sharp knife viciously.
