After the immortal disappeared

"Huang Liushou was imprisoned by Qingyang and imprisoned after the crime. Who knows how many people he confessed to, Xue Zongwu should be worried."

A glimpse of the leopard revealed that the conflict between Qingyang and King Yao was on the table.

Dong Rui groaned: "Wait a minute, Huang Liushou was executed five days after he was convicted."

"Yes, I sent people to inquire in Yao Kingdom, and there is no further information. But when you connect these things together, there must be something fishy."

Huang Liushou's death didn't look simple.

He Lingchuan smiled, "But no matter what, Xue Zongwu should be worried that he will be targeted by the Supervisor State."

"Didn't he have a tit-for-tat confrontation with Qingyang?"

"That was different. King Yao was standing behind him at that time." He Lingchuan analyzed, "But if Qingyang wants to deal with him, he only needs to seize the evidence of his crime, make it public, and then use the power of public opinion to persecute King Yao."

Xue Zongwu committed many crimes, but no one in the Yao Kingdom dared to do such a thing.

"To deal with Xue Zongwu is to pull out King Yao's minions, and Qingyang will probably be happy to do so." He Lingchuan said, "When Qingyang attacks King Yao, he must be righteous and righteous, and he must hit his opponent to the point where he cannot stand in terms of morality and justice. Stop. This is called 'righteousness'."

Just like when he went to Qingyang with the elixir case.

Some things are just scars, and they are like death in the face of light.

Of course, it also depends on who the whistleblower is. At least they cannot be easily suppressed by King Yao and Xue Zongwu.

Dong Rui looked at him for a while and finally understood: "Forget it after borrowing Shuangye Imperial Master's tiger skin, now you want to borrow Qingyang's flag?"

He Lingchuan sighed leisurely, "There is still insufficient information, otherwise I can make a better plan."

"Without further ado, how on earth are we going to start?"

He Lingchuan said sternly: "If you want to kill Xue Zongwu in Xiaotao Mountain Villa, you must make him alone. You must cut and cut the number of people around him. It is best to only have a few people left."

It is too difficult to let Xue Zongwu be alone.

Besides, no plan is perfect in its execution.

"When he enters Xiaotao Mountain Villa, only one or twenty of the two hundred elite soldiers can be brought in. How can there be a chance of being alone later?" Dong Rui shook his head, "The man named Xue is more cautious than you. I think he will probably not be alone."

"We need to create an opportunity for him to take the initiative to drive away the strong opponents around him." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "Since he takes the initiative on his own, he will not become suspicious."

Dong Rui sighed: "Can Xue Zongwu listen to you?"

"He doesn't listen to me, but maybe..." He Ling's eyes flashed, "He will listen to the master?"

Xue Zongwu and Qi Yunsheng have a very close relationship. They are more like allies than master and disciple.

Allies in officialdom.

"Qian Yu said that Xue Zongwu would ask his master when he was in doubt." He Lingchuan smiled, "Something happened in Shuangxi, Qian Yu died, and the account books were burned. Due to emotions and reasons, Xue Zongwu will definitely Let’s discuss it carefully with Qi Yunsheng.”

"Have you planned it a long time ago?!" Dong Rui glared at him. I have been with this person for many years, but I still find it unbelievable, "When you burned the ledger at Shuangxi, did you include this item?"

"Be prepared." He Lingchuan shrugged, "That's a backup plan. The first plan was supposed to be implemented in Taoshui City, but unfortunately Feng Zhirao was investigated and Xue Zongwu took a detour."

"..." Dong Rui was speechless, and after a long time he said, "Xue Zongwu will be difficult to fight. If his father-in-law also comes out, oh, master and disciple will join forces to beat you."

Xue Zongwu learned all his skills from Qi Yunsheng. Although he was better than his predecessor, Lao Qi must be a fierce one himself.

"Then transfer my father-in-law too."

"..." The more he talks, the more he gets confused. Dong Rui believes that if Qi Yunsheng were here, he would be stunned by He Lingchuan.

When should Qi Yunsheng appear and when should he leave?

He is the owner of Xiaotao Mountain Villa, how can He Lingchuan come and leave at the drop of a hat?

He Lingchuan himself also fell into deep thought.

The essence of the plan to assassinate Xue Zongwu lies in the word "quick".

Be quick to act, quick to succeed, and quick to retreat.

I hope there will be fewer surprises this time.

…

"Finally, finally arrived at Mangzhou!" The Weng brothers were covered in dust, and even their horses and men were gray.

As soon as they entered Mangzhou City Gate, the horses automatically pushed to the trough to drink water, not listening to Weng Xing's orders at all.

Not to mention the horses, the iron men are exhausted. In the past ten days, the Weng brothers have not been idle for a day. While Xue Zongwu and He Lingchuan were recharging their energy on the boat and enjoying the wind and waves, they were still doing hard labor under the supervision of the ship's foreman.

Once ashore, they rushed to Mangzhou without stopping.

But no matter what, they arrived earlier than Xue Zongwu, so they had more time to prepare.

The two of them first found an inn, washed away the dust on their faces, and then asked Dayu and Darou to come to the guest room to appease their hungry stomachs.

The few hundred taels plundered from Qian Yu's body were enough for them to eat and drink for a long time.

"We're here, we're finally here!" Weng Xing raised his head and drank a whole glass of wine, and then he felt that the smoke was no longer coming from his throat.

Putting down the cup, he let out a long "ah" and sighed that he was saved.

"Chasing bandits thousands of miles across the Yangtze River in the past is not as tiring as this time."

This time I was not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted. I was truly exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Revenge is never easy." Weng Su grabbed the chopsticks, stabbed a large piece of fat into pieces, threw it into his mouth, and washed it down with the wine.

He would never get tired of eating this kind of fat, sweet, and delicious food. "I hope that after the revenge is successful, we will still survive."

The world is beautiful, and he still wants to eat a few more pieces of braised pork.

"What shall we do next?" Weng Xing started to chew the duck leg and spoke vaguely.

"How many dignitaries are traveling with us on our way into the city, who are also from other places?"

Weng Xing actually counted: "There seem to be seven or eight teams? They all have clan emblems painted on their carriages, which is easy to recognize."

"Since they are here, they will probably visit Qi Yunsheng." Weng Su was thinking seriously all the way, "Qi Mansion has been very lively recently."

"Ah, yes. What then?"

"Where there are many people, there are many people. Where there are many people, there are..."

"Just?" The duck legs are so delicious, neither raw nor hard, and the sauce is just right.

"It's easy to cause chaos!" Weng Su glared at his younger brother, "This matter is very important, please be more careful, can we discuss it carefully?"

"I, I'm stupid." Weng Xing smiled, "Among our three brothers, Brother Tu is the smartest, you are the second best, and I can't!"

Now that "Brother Tu" is dead, the task of using his brain falls on Weng Su.

He sighed, as soon as Brother Tu left like this, the actions of his two brothers would not go smoothly. He looked at his younger brother: "Brother Tu always says you are lucky, why didn't I see it?"

Weng Xing just laughed. How does he know?

"If Qi Mansion keeps everything in order, we won't have a chance. So, the first step is to make it chaotic!"

Weng Xing blinked: "Wait a minute, how do we sneak into the Qi Mansion? You don't have any connections in Xiaotaoshan, do you?"

"No, but I have other ways!" Weng Su smiled mysteriously, "The Qi Mansion will have a big banquet for guests for the next two months. Do you know how many people a wealthy family like him has to find to work? "

"I don't know..." Weng Xing was about to say "I don't know" out of habit, but he suddenly remembered, "Oh yes, when we were fourteen or fifteen years old, we went to Zhujiazhuang to work as a day laborer! There were three hundred guests at the Zhujiazhuang wedding banquet, and they had many people. If it’s not enough, we’ll hire forty more people!”

"What level of the Zhu family can be compared with the Qi family? The higher the level, the more people will be hired!" Weng Su counted on his fingers, "Let's assume that the Qi family has to receive fifty distinguished guests in one night - This is a small number - they must bring at least three to four hundred guards and slaves. If this continues for half a month, how many people do you think they will receive in total? "

Weng Xing blurted out: "More than six thousand?"

"The original manpower of the Qi Mansion is definitely not enough, so we must hire short-term workers to help. At that time, the villa was full of unfamiliar faces. We just showed up in a big way, and no one asked us who we were."

"Okay, let's do it!" If you go in as a guest, you have to check your identity; but if you go in as a part-time worker, it should be much easier, right?

The two of them were full of wine and food, so they fell asleep, euphemistically saying that they were recharging their energy.

This sleep lasted six hours.

Then came the next day.

Just as Weng Su expected, Xiao Taoshan had too much work to do and was constantly recruiting people to help.

It's never been filled.

But the Weng brothers' plan to infiltrate encountered a small setback, because——

The Qi government does not accept day laborers of unknown origin unless guaranteed by an intermediary.

This is also one of the important reasons why Qi Mansion is never able to recruit enough people. It is better to have fewer people than to overfill them.

The Weng brothers had just arrived. They were two standard outsiders with evil intentions. Where could they find a guarantor?

Who dares to guarantee them?

"I didn't expect the Qi family to be so cautious. They even have to verify the identities of their servants." Weng Xing worried, "Can we still sneak in?"

"It must be possible!" Even if Xue Zongwu doesn't die, they won't give up either.

Wengsu took his younger brother around Xiaotaoshan, and then went to the tavern to inquire about news and opportunities.

After a whole day, they spent a lot of money on food and wine, and the two brothers' bellies were full, but they still had no idea how to sneak in.

Time passes quickly, Xue Zongwu is coming soon, but they can't even pass the first step of sneaking into the Qi Mansion?

Wengsu was secretly worried and wanted to comfort his brother when he suddenly saw several mule carts approaching the back gate of the villa.

There are several rows of markets at the back door of Xiaotao Villa, and they all rely on the Villa to make a living. Over the years, it has become a small ecology of its own. The two brothers were sitting in the wine shed in the market place, with wine and meat on the table, eating with sad faces.

The mule cart passed in front of the shed, bringing out a fishy wind and buzzing flies. Weng Su's sharp eyes even noticed that water was still dripping from under the car's panels.

This is to deliver fresh fish and meat to the villa.

Although Xiaotao Villa is called a "village", it is actually a mansion in Mangzhou City. Rice, noodles, meat and vegetables are all purchased from outside. It is not like other villages that have their own agricultural output.

Wengsu felt refreshed. Well, he had a half-baked idea.
