"Kill him!" Li Hong pointed at Xu Jinshui with trembling fingers and ordered Luo Zhongwang beside him.
At this moment, Xu Jinshui rushed forward.
He grabbed the quilt on the bed, covered Li Hong's head, and then pressed down hard.
Li Hong was struggling underneath, trying hard to knock Xu Jinshui off his body.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you come over and help!" Xu Jinshui leaned half of his body on Li Hong, turned his head and shouted to Luo Zhongwang.
Luo Zhongwang reacted and rushed forward, helping him hold down Li Hong's legs.
With his hands free, Xu Jinshui grabbed the quilt with both hands and covered Li Hong's mouth and nose hard to prevent him from breathing.
The two of them struggled with Li Hong for a long time, and finally there was no movement underneath him.
Xu Jinshui lifted the quilt from Li Hong's face, stretched out his hand to test Li Hong's breathing, and pressed on the artery in his neck to confirm that he was out of breath. Then he turned over and sat on the bed, gasping for air. .
"Is he dead?" Luo Zhongwang asked worriedly.
Xu Jinshui nodded and said: "Don't worry, the man is dead. This is the dagger. You take it and cut him on the neck."
As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his arms and handed it to Luo Zhongwang.
"Isn't he already dead? There's no need to go to such trouble!" Luo Zhongwang didn't take the dagger, not wanting to cut Li Hong's throat.
Xu Jinshui sneered and said: "What? Are you scared? Do you want to back down at this time? It's too late. As long as people know that Li Hong was killed by you and me, the consort will never let you and me go."
"I didn't want to back down." Luo Zhongwang took the dagger.
Seeing the bleeding from all the orifices on the bed, Li Hong reached out and slashed the other person's neck. The blood flowed out from the neck and soaked the quilt underneath.
Xu Jinshui took the dagger back from Luo Zhongwang's hand, wiped Li Hong's body a few times, wiped away the blood stains on it, and kicked him back into his arms.
"I came here and was seen by someone with the door ajar. I will spend the night at her place tonight to shut her up forever. You should also think about whether you were seen by anyone when you came here." Xu Jinshui said to Luo Zhongwang .
Luo Zhongwang shook his head and said, "No one knows that I have been here except you."
"This is the best thing." Xu Jinshui said, "In this way, we can blame Li Hong's death on those who are secretly dealing with us."
Luo Zhongwang nodded.
After killing Li Hong, he was so flustered that he had no intention of thinking about the aftermath.
"Okay, let's go! I don't think you are in the mood to stay here." Xu Jinshui jumped off the bed and asked Luo Zhongwang to leave.
Two people walked out of the house.
However, at this moment, two more heads suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall outside and poked out from behind the wall.
"Who is it?" Xu Jinshui shouted towards the wall.
Luo Zhongwang, who was walking aside, was surprised.
Only then did he realize that there was someone on the wall.
"We've been discovered, come on." A voice came from outside the wall.
Immediately afterwards, two people climbed up the wall, climbed over the wall and jumped into the yard.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound, and the two people who climbed over the wall stepped on the mechanism in the yard, and the two people fell directly into the pit.
"Let's go quickly." Xu Jinshui said to Luo Zhongwang and rushed towards the courtyard gate in front.
The pit was only half a person deep, so it couldn't bury anyone at all. At most, it could only serve as an early warning to the people in the house.
Xu Jinshui fired a shot, and Luo Zhongwang was not slow in his movements, running towards the courtyard gate closely behind him.
Xu Jinshui reached out and opened the courtyard door, his body suddenly stiffened, and he stepped back step by step.
A gun stretched out from outside the door and was pressed against Xu Jinshui's chest.
"Hero, if you want money, just go to the house and get it. I promise I will never report you to the official." Xu Jinshui raised his hands and slowly stepped back.
A man holding a gun walked in from the door.
Behind him, two more people came in, and the last person who entered the courtyard closed the door.
At this moment, the two men who had fallen into the pit climbed out, came to Xu Jinshui and Luo Zhongwang, and tied their hands with their belts.
"You two go to the house and see if anyone is still there?" the man holding the firecracker said to the people around him.
The two men standing behind him came out from both sides and walked quickly to the front room.
After a short time, the two people retreated from the house.
"Boss, that Li Hong is dead. His body is still hot. He died not long ago." One of the men who came out of the house looked at Xu Jinshui and Luo Zhongwang and said.
The man holding the blunderbuss nodded and immediately said to Xu Jinshui in front of him: "You two can do it. You actually killed Li Hong. Is this an uneven distribution of the spoils or an accidental killing?"
"Li Hong was bleeding from all his orifices. He was poisoned at first sight, and his throat was slit. Both of these things can cause death, unlike killing by mistake." The man who came out of the house said.
The man holding the gun said with a smile: "So the spoils are divided unevenly!"
"No, no, we just wanted to make a little fortune. Unexpectedly, he resisted so hard that we had no choice but to kill him." Luo Zhongwang stuttered.
The man holding the gun looked at him with a smile and said: "Luo Zhongwang, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop on the street in front, I never heard that you are also a gangster."
Even when his name was called out, Luo Zhongwang's expression changed drastically.
"Your name is Xu Jinshui, and you are a coolie on East Street. Oh, by the way, you are also a spy sent to the capital by Li Yongfang. You are the same." The man holding the blunderbuss said to Xu Jinshui again, and took another look. Luo Zhongwang on the side.
Hearing this, the two of them no longer took any chances, and understood that the men in front of them might have known their identities for a long time, otherwise it would be impossible to call out their names so clearly, and the occupations they used to hide their true identities.
Xu Jinshui looked at the people in front of him warily and asked, "Who are you? How do you know this?"
"It doesn't matter who we are, you just need to remember that we are here to send you two on your way." The man holding the gun winked at a few people on the side.
Two men stepped forward.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me." Luo Zhongwang shouted in horror.
Xu Jinshui stared at the people in front of him and said nervously: "You are the Jin Yiwei, no, you are the people of the Tiger Flag, yes, you must be the people of the Tiger Flag, we are our own people!"
"Wait!" The man holding a gun stopped the man who was about to wipe Xu Jinshui's neck.
Although he stopped his hand, the dagger still caused a line of blood on Xu Jinshui's neck.
Xu Jinshui swallowed subconsciously and said with a dry mouth: "I, I am also a member of the Tiger Flag. If you are people of the Tiger Flag, we are our own people."
"Ah! You are from the Tiger Flag!" Luo Zhongwang looked at Xu Jinshui in surprise, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
