Facts have proved that Xiao Rui's method is the most effective.
What is Enko? Enko is a future where everyone in the world can be literate, and a place of hope. As a parent in this world, who doesn’t want their children to be literate and become officials?
It's good now. Children who were born as coolies finally had a chance to learn how to read, but they were assassinated one by one by those conspirators? What's the meaning? What do you want to do? We are not allowed to read and write. Is knowledge unique to your family?
Not to mention the ordinary people in Chang'an, as the news spread, people in surrounding areas and even further away became angry. If he hadn't trusted the emperor and Xiao Rui, he would have almost started another peasant uprising against the aristocrats.
"This is right here, Mr. Xing. There is a stranger here. He has been secretly keeping an eye on Ding Laosan's son recently. We suspect that he is a killer. We all took turns to follow him quietly and found out that he lives here."
At the entrance of the alley, several enthusiastic people pulled Mr. Xing and introduced him in a low voice.
Lao Xing is a stable person and knows that professional killers are not easy to deal with, so he cautiously asked: "Fellow fellow villagers, professional killers are not ordinary people. They are very alert. You people who don't know martial arts dare to follow such people? Isn't it early?" Was it discovered?"
Unexpectedly, several people laughed and said in a low voice: "We don't need to follow you. We are all from the same place. You can find out by visiting and asking around. In a place like ours, if a stranger enters, he will be too conspicuous, so he will pay attention to it." of."
"By the way, we also informed Ding Laosan's family to tell his son not to show up recently, lest he be assassinated."
Mr. Xing nodded in praise and said, "Old Xing, I admire you for being a harmonious neighbor. Leave the rest to me. Don't get close, or you will be in danger."
"Wait... someone is coming." The people on guard saw the signal and quickly told everyone to hide.
A rich figure appeared sneakily at the entrance of the alley. After observing that there was nothing unusual, he quickly and cautiously walked into the alley, then knocked on the door and entered the small courtyard.
Xing Captou smiled and said, "Good luck, it looks like we are going to join forces? Everyone, please do me a favor and call a group of Wuhou over. Old Xing, I'll go over there first and listen to the news."
"Okay, Mr. Xing, please be careful."
"I know, I, Lao Xing, am a veteran of many battles, and the knife in my hand is not a vegetarian."
Capt. Distinguish various sounds.
I only heard two people talking in the yard, but luckily they didn't enter the house.
"It's been three days, and the time is getting closer and closer. Enke is about to leave if we delay any longer. There are still more than a dozen targets behind us. It's impossible to accomplish anything at your speed. The young master is very dissatisfied, so he asked me to inform you. If you can't complete the task within five days, you won't be able to get a single point from the subsequent bounty."
"Don't worry, use people's money to do things for others. Since you dare to accept this business, you will naturally complete the task. As for how we work? Don't worry about it, sir."
"Hmph, you'd better keep your word. If you delay the young master's plan, a little bounty can't atone for it!"
…
Xing Captou was frightened when he heard this, and cursed secretly that he was really cruel. He heard that the total number of people who signed up in Chang'an City this time was only thirty, what do they mean now? Want to catch them all?
He covered his chest and turned to look at the entrance of the alley. Why hasn't Marquis Wu come yet? There are professional killers inside, I'm afraid I can't take them down by myself. Alas, I had known that the subordinates who led the team had come together, and I thought they were checking the situation, but I didn't expect to catch a big fish.
Hearing the footsteps in the courtyard, it must be that the secret conversation was over and the other party was about to come out. Xing Captou hurriedly stepped aside to avoid it.
In such a panic, the killer inside noticed it instantly and shouted sharply: "Who is it?"
Lao Xing took a look and realized it was over. He had been discovered.
The contact person shouted: "Run quickly, no one can catch the young master."
run?
When Lao Xing heard this, he became angry and stopped panicking. He kicked open the door and yelled with a knife: "A bold thief, how dare you hire a killer to assassinate the students who took the science examination? They were all captured without mercy!"
After shouting, he saw a strange scene. The killer did not come up to fight immediately. Instead, he cursed trash, turned around and chopped off the connector's head with a knife.
"How dare you kill someone in front of me? You're going to die!" Lao Xing went up to him with a knife.
The killer didn't expect that a little detective could be so bold? Dare to fight against a professional killer? The corner of his mouth curved, and he rushed forward with a pair of daggers in a bloodthirsty manner.
But after a fight, I realized that I had underestimated the enemy. This was not an ordinary policeman, but a veteran of many battles, with superb sword skills.
"Who are you? With such martial arts skills, why are you willing to serve as a small catcher?"
Lao Xing laughed loudly and said: "It's my turn to ask you, who are you? Dare you come to Chang'an City to assassinate you?"
"Hmph! It's up to you if you don't tell me. Dead people don't need names." The killer is still confident that he can take down the opponent, but it will just take a little more effort.
The weapons are stronger every inch. Lao Xing holds a long horizontal knife, and the killer has a pair of short daggers. Lao Xing has the advantage.
But the killer was young and nimble. A pair of daggers quickly left several wounds on Lao Xing's body. As he gradually lost blood, Lao Xing became increasingly disadvantaged.
"Hmph, although you are a veteran of hundreds of battles, you are getting old after all. If it weren't for your exquisite sword skills, you wouldn't be able to survive ten moves in my hands!"
Lao Xing was not willing to be outdone and said: "Old Xing, because I have made a great contribution, I was taught a set of superior sword techniques by Meng Guanhouhou. Unfortunately, I am old and weak. If you had started practicing when you were young, you would not be able to perform ten moves under my hands today." .”
The killer admired: "No wonder, it turns out that the champion Hou Chuanyi is the best in the world. It's a pity, you are old after all. At most thirty moves, you will die!"
"Hahahaha, thirty moves? That's enough. The reinforcements from Marquis Wu will be here soon. If you hold off thirty moves, you won't be able to leave anymore." .
The killer was completely panicked, "Shameless! I will settle accounts with you in the future..."
"Want to leave? You can't leave!" Xing Captou persisted, with more and more wounds on his body, but the killer became more and more impatient.
In the end, it was still less than thirty moves. Xing Baotou lost too much blood and was exhausted, so he knelt on the ground.
The killer only needed one burst to kill Xing Baotou, but the opponent was very cautious and turned around to escape by jumping over the wall without looking back.
Xing Baotou struggled to stand up, threw the long knife, and blocked the opponent from jumping over the wall. The moment the opponent landed, Xing Baotou rushed over like a desperate beast and hugged the opponent tightly. legs.
"Get away!"
The killer kicked but did not kick it away. He was so angry that a pair of daggers were inserted into Xing Baotou's back, hitting the shoulder blades on both sides. The pain made Xing Baotou scream, but he still refused to let go.
"Seeking death!" The killer was about to draw out his double blades and cut off Xing Baotou's neck when he heard the sound of footsteps galloping in the alley.
Just for a moment, I saw a group of well-trained Wuhou armed with crossbows rushing in, "Stop! Raise your hands and surrender, otherwise you will be shot to death immediately!"
The killer looked down at Capt. Xing, who was gritting his teeth and fighting to the death, and smiled sadly, "I didn't expect that my fame in Pinggu would be ruined in the hands of a little catcher like you."
After saying that, he pulled out a dagger and killed himself without hesitation.
Captain Wu Hou thought that the other party was going to kill someone, so he immediately ordered the arrows to be fired. As a result, the guy was miserable after all. Not only did he wipe his neck, but he was also shot into a hedgehog.
"Quick, save Lao Xing!"
Capt. Xing weakly pointed to the body of the contact person on the ground, "Protect the scene and be sure to find out the identity of this person!"
"Lao Xing, hold on, you must not die..."
The incident quickly alarmed Xiao Rui. Because Lao Xing was seriously injured, the Chang'an County Magistrate thought of friendship and quickly went to the palace to ask for help. Xiao Rui happened to be in the palace, so he personally rescued Lao Xing. Unfortunately, the opponent's shoulder blade was injured and he will not be able to use force in the future.
Wu Hou cooperated with Chang'an County and quickly found out the identity of the contact person. He was the attendant of Wang Jishan of the Wang family in Taiyuan.
Xiao Rui's eyes were cold, Taiyuan Wang family? You are looking for death!
