Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 132 Assassination (Second Change)

Liang Yungou also knew that Dongchang's monitoring of the foreign court was loose on the surface and tight on the inside, and no one knew how many people from Dongchang there were in the restaurants in the city of Nanjing.

Now he always has a few masters of the rivers and lakes with him, even if he went to the flower boat to meet Zhang Shenyan this time, he was still in disguise and brought guards.

But what he didn't know was that shortly after boarding the ship, the person who had followed him quietly walked into an alley and entered a private house.

The leaders of Dongchang, such as Wang Cheng'en, the king of Dongchang, and Ma Jixiang, who was in charge of Qianhu, were all in this house.

The person who entered this private house was of course a spy from Dongchang. As soon as this person came, he bowed his hands to Ma Jixiang and Wang Chengen and said: "Liang Yungou has already returned home. According to his servant, he will leave the city at Shenshi in the afternoon to pack up his things and go back to his hometown to visit relatives. "

"This person is quite vigilant. We didn't move before, because we were afraid of catching grass and startling snakes. Now that we haven't shattered grass, he is going to run away first."

Ma Jixiang said with a smile to Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen still kept a stern smile, and pushed away the Nanjing city defense map: "It seems that we can only do it this afternoon at Shenshi, so that's fine, Liang Yungou will naturally wear an official uniform when he goes out of the city, otherwise it won't be enough to fool the city defenders." It is better to wear an official uniform when killing him, and the shock caused by killing him is better. Now the key is where to do it, and tell the daily itinerary of several high-ranking officials who are related to Liang Yungou."

"Yes!"

The head of Yidong Factory stood up and said, "Every afternoon, Mr. Gao Ge, the second assistant of the cabinet, will go to Qingquan Temple to visit Master Juewu, as long as he is not on duty every afternoon."

"Elder Li Ge of the cabinet has been staying in Huai'an since the first day of the first lunar month, and he will not return until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Cabinet Zhang Ge Lao Wei always went to Zhuo Qijun's flower boat on the Qinhuai River. It is rumored that this person is Ge Lao's foreign room. Before Zhang Ge Lao leaves the house, he will ask the young man to go to Xinglin Hall to buy yang-nourishing medicine."

"Qi Biaojia, the right servant of the household department, usually goes to the Daming Central Bank to withdraw money at the beginning of Shenshi, and returns at Youshi."

After the Dongchang Fanzi who was in charge of inquiring about the situation reported the news, Wang Chengen nodded and said: "Mr. Li Ge is His Majesty's confidant, so there is no need to doubt him, and there is no need to wait for him to return to Beijing;

Qi Biaojia, the right servant of the household department, must walk this Yonghe Street when he goes to the Central Bank, and then he will meet Liang Yungou who is returning home. At around [-]:[-] Shen Shi, we will attack Liang Yungou on this street, and the time will be changed to Shen Shi [-] carve;

Zhang Shenyan's house was far away from the Qinhuai River, and he arrived at the Qinhuai River at about the beginning of Youshi, so he beheaded this person in front of Zhang Shenyan at the beginning of Youshi!

Gaoge's old mansion is not far from the Qinhuai River, so he threw the head in the Huichun Hall where he rested. It is rumored that he has been sleeping all the time recently, so let him refresh himself! "

Wang Chengen raised his head and asked, "Who will do it?"

"Mr. Factory, let me come in person. I am the most familiar with Nanjing City, and others can't match my methods." Ma Jixiang straightened his cuffs and said.

"Alright, you can go out in person, the governor is at ease, and I will ask His Majesty for your credit at that time," Wang Chengen said, walked out of the house, and quietly got into a carriage: "Go to Yonghe Street !"

At three quarters of the day, Yonghe Avenue in Nanjing City is at its busiest time.

There is almost no end to the crowds coming and going.

Wang Chengen was sitting on a teahouse, giving peanuts to his mouth out of boredom.

On the other hand, Ma Jixiang was standing on the eaves of a roof, looking at the crowd on the street like a stroller, his falcon-like eyes almost never leaving the sedan chair Liang Yungou was riding on.

Dongchang Anfan, who followed Liang Yungou's fourth-rank ceremonial guard of Qiandu Yushizheng, was also watching closely all the time.

Liang Yungou was resting his eyes with his eyes closed. He had handed over his resignation to the Tongzheng Yamen. Now, as long as he left the city, he could go back to his hometown with confidence and boldness.

The bell of Qingquan Temple began to ring, which meant that another moment had passed.

Gao Hongtu talked with the monk Juewu about Buddhism for a long time, and felt tired, so he began to rest in the meditation room.

At this time, Qi Biaojia was also coming to the Central Bank of Daming in a sedan chair. Rubbing his temples, he stayed up all night last night to calculate the expenses for the year before, and he woke up this morning with a dizzy head.

Zhang Shenyan, who had been in Qinhuai Heshan all this time, took the medicine from the servant and swallowed a pill, which will make him grow old and strong.

Another bell rang.

Gao Hongtu opened his eyes and just sat in meditation by the window, thinking about what His Majesty Zhu Youjian said on New Year's Eve, he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Master Jue Wu came in: "Mr. Zhang Ge said that Sun Weicheng, Marquis of Huaining, has secretly controlled the old cavalry of the [-] Nanjing Jingying. If Bo invades the city of Nanjing, he can launch an immediate attack, but right now the [-] cavalry still need good horses, so we have to rely on your power in the cabinet to deal with them."

"Okay, I understand, please rest assured Mr. Zhang Ge," Gao Hongtu nodded.

At this time, the bell rang again.

Gao Hongtu asked, "What time is it?"

"If you go back to the master, it's already three quarters!" The boy servant at the bottom replied.

"I'll sleep a little longer, master, please go back, and wake me up when you are here!"

As Gao Hongtu spoke, he continued to squint his eyes and rest his mind.

……

Liang Yungou, the imperial censor of Youqian Capital, didn't know that his life span was about to end. At this moment, he was thinking about Zhang Shenyan's words, as long as he survived these few months, when Ning Nanbo entered the capital and made the crown prince the empress, he would Can be official residence Shangshu.

However, at this moment, as soon as the bell of Qingquan Temple rang, four hooked sickles flew out from the crowd, hooked Liang Yungou's sedan chair and pulled it, and Liang Yungou's sedan chair was immediately thrown off.

Ma Jixiang jumped directly from the eaves, using the speed formed by the acceleration of gravity, directly stabbed Liang Yungou's chest severely.

Immediately, Liang Yungou felt a chill in his heart, and he was astonished to watch someone kill him before he could figure out how the sedan chair was broken.

Since Ma Jixiang and others were all wearing casual clothes, Liang Yungou's people did not recognize that Ma Jixiang was from Dongchang.

However, the masters of the rivers and lakes invited by Liang Yungou still decisively killed Ma Jixiang.

But at this time, crossbow arrows were suddenly fired in the crowd, and these so-called quack masters were shot immediately.

And those who didn't win, some people from Dongchang took the opportunity to besiege them, and not long after, these people were all killed.

Qi Biaojia, the right servant of the household department who happened to pass by, saw his friend Liang Yungou being killed with his own eyes, and couldn't help being horrified: "Brother Liang! Where did the thief come from, how dare you murder the court official on the spot! Take it down quickly!"

Qi Biaojia was a member of the third rank and an official of the Household Department, so he had guards, but before his guards had time to draw their swords, Ma Jixiang had already carried Liang Yungou's body and walked away.

However, at this time, the staff around Qi Biaojia hurried over and said to Qi Biaojia: "Dong Weng, this matter is very strange. If you are so bold enough to dare to murder the court officials on the street, it must be Dongchang or Jinyiwei." , and committed the murder in front of your servant, could it be that His Majesty is deliberately warning you about something?"

Qi Biaojia was not stupid either. Hearing what his staff said, he panicked and didn't know what to do.
