As the saying goes, dragons do not live with snakes, and those who can be neighbors with the county governor are not ordinary people. The old man who heads the family is the Meng family who once served as the minister of household affairs, and the old minister Meng and Yang Gu are from different factions, so

They usually do not interact with each other. The book says: Gentlemen break off friendship without saying anything bad, and officials and officials do not interact with each other as neighbors. This has shown that the two sides are incompatible.

After the two people arrived at the Meng family, they found that it was a long and narrow passage. It seemed that the Meng family had also built a wall, and the Yang family had also built a wall. This passage was sandwiched between them.

People just think that two families share the same fence. Who knows that there is something else going on?

It was quiet in this passage, with no one around. Instead, you could hear the noisy sounds of the streets in the distance. Walking along the passage to the end, you saw a house.

There were several very ordinary packages placed in the house. There was already some dust on the packages. When I opened the package, I saw that there were about two thousand taels of silver in banknotes, more than a dozen taels of scattered silver, and customs clearance procedures.

Everything is available, and there are two sets of clothes, which look like they are worn by ordinary people. There are even razors and other things in the package, which are extremely well prepared.

The two people checked it out, immediately put on their clothes, and then each of them picked up a package and walked out. There seemed to be no road at the end of the house, but there was a cellar. After jumping into the cellar, they found a hole to climb through.

Go in, climb to the end, push open a wooden barrel, and climb out, you find that you are in a quite large wine cellar, with barrels full of barrels piled everywhere. After they both climbed out, they seemed to have touched something.

A wooden board suddenly slid open on the wall next to the mechanism, and there was a handle inside, which was painted with red paint and looked very bright.

There is a wooden sign nailed next to the handle, which reads: The passage will collapse after being pulled down.

The leader decisively pulled the handle, then turned and walked out. There was a sound of mud rolling down behind him. It was obvious that the tunnel had been buried, which meant that they could no longer go back and could only move forward. Then the two

As the person continued to walk outside, he smelled a smell in his nose, and it turned out that there was a toilet next to it.

Walking further, I saw a very crowded and lively kitchen next to it. There were at least five or six cooks, Dunzi, and helpers busy here. However, the direction in which the two came out must have been planned.

Almost all of these people had their backs facing this way, and even if they saw them, they would treat them as guests coming to the back to use the toilet and would not pay attention.

The two of them continued to walk out, and they saw that this was a very bustling dining hall. It was very noisy and crowded with people coming and going. If you walked out of here, you would be unaware. And at this time

The folk customs are simple, and people often take the initiative to know how to pay. People who don’t pay for meals will only encounter them two or three times in a restaurant life, so no one will stop them.

But when I was walking out, because there were too many people, a waiter carrying soup hurriedly squeezed over. When he was squeezed and shaken, some of the soup he was carrying spilled out. The soup was boiling hot.

The waiter screamed in pain and accidentally knocked the soup to the ground. The steaming soup splashed everywhere, but it didn't hit anyone else. It was just a few sporadic splashes on the shoes of the people around him.

This incident was normal and did not cause too much trouble. The two people left the hotel and mingled with the crowd and walked slowly forward. However, they also saw the blood stains left by the fierce fighting on the street last night and some burned houses. They walked behind.

The man suddenly whispered and gritted his teeth:

"It's impossible, it's impossible. There must be someone inside. Otherwise, our plan is so seamless, how could it be discovered?"

The man walking in front suddenly lowered his voice and said sternly:

"Shut up, be silent!"

The man behind was about to speak, but his pupils shrank all of a sudden, because a group of soldiers wearing armor came over from the front, looking around, with their hands on the hilt of the knife. It seemed that they had encountered him.

If anything goes wrong, you'll have to kill him with a single blow. He'll be on guard.

At this time, the man walking behind instinctively ducked to the side, but the man walking in front dragged him towards the group of soldiers and greeted them with a smile:

"This military master, does he know where the Conscience Pawn Shop is?"

The leading soldier looked the two men up and down and asked:

"What are you doing there?"

The man in front nodded and bowed with a smile:

"One of our brothers is from Wuzhuang. He pawned my mother-in-law's silver hairpin there and said it would be redeemed in sixty days. It's been sixty-five days now. Let me help him ask if he can redeem it.

Coming?"

After hearing this, the soldier pointed to the west and said:

"It's just a mile's walk over there."

The man in front thanked him, and then walked in the direction pointed by the soldier. It wasn't until he turned the corner that he saw the man walking behind let out a long sigh and put his right hand on his pants.

A handful was wiped on it, and it was obvious that the palms of the hands were all covered in cold sweat! Next, the two of them went to the conscience pawn shop to ask about Chai Zi, but the emperor impatiently asked them to take out the pawn tickets, but they

I couldn't take it out, so I could only say a few words and leave. Even if someone was following me, I couldn't see anything strange.

Next, the two people prepared to leave the city. Although they encountered many interrogations along the way, they still passed the test without any danger. After they left the city, they originally took the official road. Not long after, suddenly

I turned to the west path and entered a village.

Not long after, I saw three or five small boats going down the small river next to the village. These small boats had to sail two or three miles before they could enter the river. The water of the Xunyang River nearby was open and there were many reed swamps that stretched for dozens of miles.

Once the boat gets in, it will be difficult for even the King of Heaven to detect it.

After about an hour or two, the small boats that had gone out returned. After another tea break, they saw four horses running out of the village. They were only carrying two people and riding away.

!

It turns out that the few boats that were sailed out before were just a tactic to test whether they were rigged, and the four horses at this time were the real owners. Once those boats arrived at the specified time

If he does not come back, or if he notices any unusual movement outside the village, the agencies in the village will be activated to destroy all evidence and people, ensuring that no trace is left. Of course, this is the final killing.

, it is not easy to build such a place, so it would not be a last resort unless it was absolutely necessary.

The two men galloped out for a full two hours. During these two hours, they did not hesitate to abandon the two exhausted horses and galloped for more than 150 miles. They were already able to

It was said that I was relieved to have left the confines of Zhangjun.

At this time, the horses under their crotches finally couldn't bear it anymore. They neighed loudly and threw their front hooves away. After a few rolls, they spit out foam at the mouth. Their four hooves kept twitching. They seemed to be on the verge of exhaustion.

Dead, the person in front was okay. Although his legs and feet were stiff and he staggered when he landed, he could barely stand. But the person behind tried to use his strength to jump away when he fell, but unfortunately he was unable to do so.

The disgraced man fell down, his head was badly bruised, and the angry wind scarf he was wearing fell off.

At this time, you can see that the man leading the way in front is about forty, with a square face, silk-like eyebrows, and piercing eyes. However, the long beard on the lower jaw makes the person a bit elegant, showing a bit of naturalness.

The meaning of the book is completely different from the fawning look he used to ask for directions from the patrolling soldiers. The young man behind him looks similar to him, but the distance between his two eyebrows is very narrow, as if his eyebrows are twisted up at any time.

, it seemed that the young man was also exhausted. After falling to the ground, he didn't even care about his wounds, but he closed his eyes and panted violently on the ground.

These two people were none other than Zhang Jinghong, a former Hanlin scholar, and his son Zhang Liguo.

Zhang Jinghong offended Liu Qu and was labeled as someone who would never be used again. However, he was only thirty-eight when he resigned, and he was very passionate about fame. Therefore, it was logical that he was favored by King Heng Liu Jian and taken under his command.

, because Zhang Jinghong also served as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although this position was not high in official rank, it was assessed during the three-year Beijing inspection, so he was quite familiar with officials from all over Nanzheng. Liu

Jian then sent him out to contact and persuade those who were willing to submit to him.

Zhang Jinghong also knew that this was his only chance, so he acted with sincerity and persuaded many officials for King Heng. This time, in order to reassure Yang Gu, he did not hesitate to bring his son as a hostage. Unexpectedly, they thought he was a sure winner.

The assassination actually failed. The potential of Li Hu's wife, the Cui family, was beyond their expectation. They used the secret technique of avatar passed down from the David Dynasty that was preserved in the family to create a substitute for Li Hu at all costs.

A stand-in, it was this stand-in that made their grand plan fail.

Zhang Liguo panted for a long time, and finally felt that the pain and fatigue were a little better. Then he slowly got up and said through gritted teeth:

"This damned animal, if I hadn't been in a hurry, I would have had to tear it apart from cramps, and both ends would have lost strength at the same time."

Hearing what his son said casually, Zhang Jinghong suddenly froze for a moment, his body suddenly stiffened, but he soon relaxed slowly and said softly to his son:
Chapter completed!
