Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 71 Assassination
After closing the door gently, Li Jing stuck behind the door and closed his eyes. After a while, Li Jing slowly opened his eyes. At this time, his eyes had gradually adapted to the dark environment, and he could faintly see the outlines of objects in the room.

Following the sound of breathing, Li Jing approached the bed on tiptoe.

There were two people lying on the bed, Li Jing was not polite, leaned over and punched the man in the neck, knocking him out.Immediately, he covered the mouth and nose of the man outside with his left hand, and pressed the dagger at the man's neck with his right hand.

The man was sleeping soundly, and suddenly his mouth and nose were covered, and he woke up suddenly, and then found a black figure standing in front of him.

The man was terrified and opened his mouth to scream, but unfortunately his mouth was covered, so he couldn't scream, only a ho-ho sound came out of his throat.

"Don't yell, or I'll kill you right away." Li Jing slammed the dagger hard and shouted softly.

The man was terrified, nodded hurriedly, suddenly felt a pain in his neck, but it was his skin that touched the dagger and cut a wound.The man suddenly didn't dare to move under the pain.

Li Jing moved his left hand down slowly, loosened the man's nose to allow him to breathe, and then shouted softly: "I will answer whatever I ask, if there is something to hide, I will let you see the King of Hades immediately!"

The man couldn't speak, and didn't dare to move, so he had to look down with his eyes.

Li Jing opened the dagger lightly, and the man nodded vigorously.

"What's your name? What do you do in Xu Mansion?" After Li Jing finished speaking, he gently let go of his left hand.

"The villain's name is Xu Laifu, and he is in charge of the Xu Mansion's farm." The man hurriedly replied.

"Who is this person?" Li Jing asked.

"She is the villain's wife." Xu Laifu said hastily.

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, confused, but he didn't know whether the person inside was a man or a woman. If it was a woman, the attack just now was a bit heavy.

In fact, it is no wonder that Li Jing, both men and women in the Ming Dynasty had long hair, lying under the quilt, if one did not look closely, one would not be able to tell which was male and which was female.

Some movies or TV shows often show a woman disguised as a man, and suddenly the hat falls off, and then her hair is scattered, so she is seen as a woman, that is pure nonsense.

Both men and women have the same hair length, why do you dare to say that someone is a woman just because of their long hair?

As for saying that a beautiful woman puts on a hat and men's clothes and thinks she can pass herself off as a man, that's even more nonsense.

Even the most ugly woman knows how to put on rouge and wear earrings.

The smell of rouge some women put on is so strong that it can make people sick, even if they wash it for three days and three nights, they may not be able to get rid of the smell of rouge.

As long as a man's nose is not broken and his eyes are not blind, how can he not tell a man from a woman?
How stupid can a man be if he doesn't recognize a woman?
The difference between men and women is not the length of hair, but the hairstyle.

Women keep temples for flower arrangement and wear hairpins and other decorations, while men tie their hair and wear hats.

But at night, these hairpins and hats were all taken off, and it was difficult to distinguish between men and women when lying in the bed, so it was not surprising that Li Jing didn't see that the person inside was a woman.

Shaking his head, Li Jing then asked, "Where do Master Xu and the young masters live?"

"The master and the young master live in the inner house." Xu Laifu said hurriedly.

"How do I get to the inner house? Also, where do Master Xu and the young masters live?" Li Jing asked.

Hearing this, even if Xu Laifu was a fool, he knew that this person in front of him was going to trouble Mr. Xu and his son.

It's just that the dagger is on the neck, how dare you lie?
Now Xu Laifu told the road to the inner house honestly, and also told the direction of the room where Master Xu and the young masters lived.

Pulling Xu Laifu in front of him, Li Jing said viciously: "If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you when I turn around."

As the distance drew closer, Xu Laifu finally saw Li Jing's face clearly. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, and asked tremblingly, "You. Are you a human or a ghost?"

"Lao Tzu is a ghost, a life-threatening evil ghost!"

After Li Jing finished speaking, he slashed Xu Laifu's neck with his palm.

Xu Laifu was hit in the neck, his blood was blocked, and he fell into a coma.

Gently exiting the room, Li Jing followed the direction Xu Laifu said, and soon saw a courtyard door.

In fact, Li Jing visited this gate just now, but Li Jing never thought that there was an inner house inside.

After climbing over the inner wall, Li Jing looked at the courtyard.

The area of ​​the inner house is relatively small, but it is still much larger than ordinary houses.

There are pavilions, terraces and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings. I don't know how much money was spent to build such a house.

Li Jing is not a person with a lifestyle, but in such an environment, he feels quite relaxed and happy.

Passing through several pavilions and corridors, three attics appear in front of you.

Li Jing knew that Master Xu lived in the middle one, and the two next to it were prepared for his younger brother and son-in-law who are the magistrates.As for the three young masters of the Xu family, they lived separately in several houses on the north and south sides.

Li Jing didn't want to bother looking for the old and young men of the Xu family. Anyway, as long as the man who can live in the inner house must be a close relative of the Xu family, then you don't have to be polite.

Li Jing started from the first house and walked around the inner house.

There are quite a lot of bedrooms in the inner house, and Li Jing roughly calculated that there are at least more than 30 bedrooms.

However, there are only women in most of them, and only five have men.

Li Jing didn't kill the Xu family, because he knew that many women in the Xu family were actually innocent girls from a good family.

Li Jing wasn't so mad that he wanted to kill all these women.

But it is really troublesome to distinguish between men and women at night.

Later, Li Jing found a trick to determine whether there was a man in the room from the shoes placed under the bed.

Men's and women's shoes are completely different in style.

Men wear thin-soled high-waisted boots, while women wear embroidered shoes.

After transferring all the houses of the Xu family, Li Jing killed a total of eight people, including five men and three women.

It was a last resort to kill those three women, Li Jing.

Because one of the three women was sleeping in the wrong position, one was sleeping next to the man, and the other was not sleeping at all.

Let's start with the woman in the wrong sleeping position.

She actually slept on top of the man.

Li Jing thought she was a man at the time, so he broke her neck first, and when he realized something was wrong, the woman was already dead.

The second woman who slept next to the man was killed because after Li Jing killed the man, he suddenly found a box next to the man.

Surely it wouldn't be too bad to fit in a case next to the owner's pillow.

Li Jingshun was holding the sheep and wanted to take the box away, but the woman had one hand tightly around the box.

When Li Jing moved the box, the woman woke up immediately.

Afraid of her screaming, Li Jing killed the woman along with him.

As for killing the third woman, it was because Li Jing couldn't afford to wait.

At that time, Li Jing had just arrived outside the dormitory when he heard the sound of clouds and waves coming from inside. Li Jing naturally knew what was going on inside.

How could he have the nerve to act in this situation?I had no choice but to go to another room first, but when Li Jing came back after finishing work in other rooms, the sound continued.

Li Jing couldn't bear it anymore, there was a brigade of officers and soldiers besieging Hongshanling, how could he waste time because of a woman?

After waiting for a while, Li Jing had no choice but to sneak in and send the pair of mandarin ducks to Lord Yan after listening to the endless chatter.

. .

Following the same route, Li Jing returned quickly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Jing fell off the wall, he felt that his feet were not right.

There is someone under your feet?

Li Jing rolled away from the man, then drew out his dagger and stabbed the man with his backhand.

Unexpectedly, the thorn was empty.

Li Jing was taken aback, turned around and pounced on the man, holding down the man's body with one hand, and swung the dagger with the other to stab him down.

At this moment, Li Jing suddenly noticed that there was something strange in his hand. He hurriedly put away the dagger and took a closer look, only to find that the man had already passed out.

Li Jing shook his head, scolding himself for being careless, for not seeing clearly what was under his feet when he jumped off.

In fact, Li Jing was no wonder.

When Li Jing went in, he deliberately chose a dark corner. When he came out, he could only see the darkness below. How could he have thought that there were people below?
After letting go of that person, Li Jing was about to get up and leave when he suddenly felt that he had seen this person before.

Li Jing quickly raised the man's head, looked carefully, and then recognized that the man was Zhang Ao.

Seeing Zhang Ao suddenly, Li Jing felt a little embarrassed.

At the beginning, Li Jing agreed to sell bear galls to invite Zhang Ao to drink, and used Zhang Ao to show off, which finally attracted the attention of the Shen and Xu families, which caused a dispute between the two families, forcing the Shen family to flee far away, and finally let Li Jing take him into the bandit den.

It can be said that although what Zhang Ao did was a small matter, it played a huge role.

Touching Zhang Ao's nose and mouth, seeing that Zhang Ao was still breathing, Li Jing felt relieved.

Immediately Li Jing discovered that Zhang Ao's clothes were very thin. On such a cold day, he actually only wore a jacket under his long gown. He thought life was extremely difficult.

Now that he recognized Zhang Ao, how could Li Jing stand still.

Li Jing untied his cloak and put it on Zhang Ao, then leaned over and carried Zhang Ao on his back.

. .

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Ao woke up leisurely.

Immediately Zhang Ao found himself lying next to a fire, with a person sitting vaguely across from him.

Zhang Ao raised his head hastily, when he looked over the fire, he suddenly called out, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"Haha! I forgot to take this off, it scares you!" The man on the opposite side gently took off the mask.

As the man took off his mask, Zhang Ao suddenly opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "Grandfather, is it you?"

Nodding slightly, Li Jing said, "It's hard for you to know me."

"How can Zhang Ao forget the life-saving grace, but unfortunately Zhang Ao is incompetent and unable to repay the benefactor's life-saving grace." Zhang Ao said with a sigh.

After a pause, Zhang Ao suddenly said, "Grandfather, where is this place? Why am I here?"

Li Jing smiled and said: "This is outside the city, do you remember where you were before?"

Zhang Ao patted his head lightly and said, "It seems to be outside the walls of Xu's house, right? I remember I threw the jug on the wall at that time, and I don't know what happened afterwards."

Suddenly Zhang Ao saw the cloak on his body, he woke up suddenly, and said hastily, "Thank you benefactor for saving me again, otherwise, I will freeze to death outside after I get drunk."

After finishing speaking, he turned over and fell to his knees, and kowtowed to Li Jing.
