Wei Ting failed in his attempt to assassinate Han Kuang and was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Will Wei Ting assassinate Han Kuang? This is a plot that the movie doesn't have.
Why did she want to assassinate Han Kuang?
Lin Yue couldn't figure it out, but that wasn't important. What was important was that Han Kuang was injured.
Because the chief minister of the cabinet was assassinated in a party dispute, Zhu Youjian seized an opportunity to use the topic to rectify Wei Zhongxian, and with a stroke of his pen, he issued an imperial edict to go to Fengyang to guard the imperial mausoleum.
Counting the time, it was only two days since the three Xiuchundao I brothers intercepted and killed Wei Zhongxian in Fucheng County.
Will this... happen?
If the film and television world would automatically correct the plot to keep it close to the main plot in the past, it should be... almost... yes.
After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, he made a decision. He pinched the horse's belly, and the horse sneezed under him and accelerated forward.
…
Two days later.
It rained heavily at night and the sound of water continued.
In the shadows of the alley opposite Jinsheng Inn, Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan were discussing what to do.
"Brother, Wei Zhongxian brought dozens of people to stay in the inn. If you don't let the others be informed by the trumpet arrow, can the three of us... make it happen?"
Wei Zhongxian left Beijing a while ago, and last night the emperor ordered the arrest of Xu Xianchun, the leader of the Five Biao brothers. This morning Zhao Jingzhong, a newly rich man from the East Factory, found them and gave the three of them a secret order--the emperor wanted Wei Zhongxian dead, so they He raced hard and ran for a day and a half, finally catching up with his target in Fucheng County.
"Brother, can't you see that we are being targeted? You once helped Hokusai, a member of the Donglin Party. Although you caught up with the new emperor's accession to the throne and were exempted from the death penalty, the eunuchs were holding back their strength. My son is trying to stumbling upon you. I used to have a good relationship with Eunuch Lin. When he was alive, no one in the Jinyi Guard dared to touch me. Now that he is dead, the people above are eager to leave all the dirty work to me. If the matter is done well, the credit belongs to them. If the matter is not done well, the punishment will come quickly and severely. If you are killed by a thief while handling the case, it will naturally be a scene that you would like to see." Lu Jianxing took off the water bottle hanging on his lower back. He took a sip and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with his hands.
Jin Yichuan said: "Brother, if this is the case, why do you still covet this credit?"
"What I covet is not the credit, but the way to survive."
Lu Jianxing said: "To Zhao Jingzhong, our three brothers are just little soldiers. Once this matter is done, he will see that we are obedient and capable, so he might let us go. After all, Jin Yiwei will not be Dong Dong in the future. He is the dog of the factory, and with our three spies here, it will be easier for him to do things."
Shen Lian frowned: "You mean... to use Wei Zhongxian's body as a surrender certificate?"
"Second brother, third brother, if you want to get involved in the officialdom, you still have to have a backer. Otherwise, all the dirty and hard work will be yours. I don't know if you have had enough of this kind of useless life. Anyway, I have had enough." .”
Seeing that Shen Lian was still hesitant, Lu Jianxing looked at Jin Yichuan and said, "Third brother, what do you think?"
Thinking of Ding Xiu chasing after him like a god of plague, he nodded: "I agree with brother's plan."
The two people there agreed to do this. Shen Lian couldn't shirk anymore, so he could only nod and agree.
Then, just like in the movie, the three of them took advantage of the night and rain to climb onto the roof of the inn and sneakily approached the courtyard occupied by Wei Zhongxian.
Because there was no Wei Ting, they successfully eliminated all the guards standing guard on the roof. However, when Shen Lian walked towards the house where Wei Zhongxian lived, a pebble shot from nowhere shattered the tiles under his feet, and he suddenly woke up. People taking shelter from the rain under the eaves of the first floor.
When the three brothers saw that their plan to infiltrate secretly was ruined, they had no choice but to force it out.
When the cry "Twenty taels of gold will be rewarded for each kill" came from the second floor, the guards ignored the flying fish suits worn by the three of them and rushed forward as if they had been given blood.
Ding Dang Dang~
Rain and sword light were flying all over the sky, blood spread on the ground, and was broken by boots.
Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan fought their way out and sent Shen Lian to the second floor.
When he opened the door with the smell of blood and took a look, people were stunned.
Wei Zhongxian was wearing a loose white robe and sitting on a chair by the window. At his feet was the dead book boy. Blood was still pouring out. It looked like he had been killed not long ago.
There was a pile of golden gold on the table in the front, as well as several large-denomination silver notes.
This is not the key, the key is the masked man who has one foot on the bench and fiddles with the gold with the crystal-like dagger in his hand.
There was only one thought in Shen Lian's mind - someone got there first. The three brothers were fighting with Wei Zhongxian's people below, but someone quietly climbed up to the second floor.
"Jinyiwei is doing business, get out of the way."
The masked man remained motionless.
Shen Lian raised his crossbow and pulled the trigger very simply.
Phew~
The crossbow arrows shot through the air.
The man tilted his head sharply and avoided it without any danger.
Shen Lian's expression changed, he threw the hand crossbow that fired the crossbow arrows to the ground, and raised his Xiuchundao to slash at it.
Ding Dang Dang~
The man used a dual-wielding short weapon that he had never seen before to hold the Xiuchun Dao, moved it to the middle, locked it tightly, and kicked it forward while pulling it forward.
Shen Lian turned sideways, but he didn't expect that his foot would hit the ground midway. The short weapon locked on the Xiuchun Dao moved forward. Amidst the harsh sound of gold and iron and the splash of sparks, his knee hit his abdomen hard. .
Cough~
Drool flying.
Mr. Shen Qi took three steps back with fear written all over his face.
"Good Kung Fu, haha, good Kung Fu." The speaker was Wei Zhongxian, his voice was a little crazy, but he was actually quite crazy.
"Now can you listen to me quietly for a few words?" The masked man did not look back, and drew his hand back. The curved tip of the knife was less than half an inch away from Wei Zhongxian's throat.
The meaning is obvious, shut up.
The masked man was naturally none other than Lin Yue holding the Ziwu Yuanyang Yue.
"Did Zhao Jingzhong send you here?"
Shen Lian frowned, pointed the knife at Lin Yue and said, "Who are you?"
Lin Yue did not answer his question: "Let's make a deal."
"What's the meaning?"
"Take away the gold and silver notes on the table. Wei Zhongxian belongs to me."
Shen Lian glanced at the things on the table. There were four to five hundred taels of gold alone, which could be converted into four to five thousand taels of silver. His annual salary was only forty taels of silver.
"This money will kill me."
"What Zhao Jingzhong wants is for Wei Zhongxian to die. No matter whether he is really dead or not, as long as he doesn't show up, what's the difference between him and him being dead?"
Shen Lian was silent.
At this time, Lu Jianxing's shout came from below. The three of them were very skilled, but Wei Zhongxian had so many minions that they couldn't hold them back. If they came one after another, they would be exhausted to death.
"Your brother won't last long, make a decision quickly, or..." Lin Yue narrowed his eyes at him: "Do you think you can survive me?"
Shen Lian felt that hatred in his heart.
He was about to kill Wei Zhongxian, but Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway. Judging from his previous skills, his chance of winning was no more than 40%. The key was that the two people below simply couldn't wait that long.
dilemma! It’s really a dilemma.
Not long after, the fire ignited the second floor, and then the jade plaque fell from the sky. Just like in the movie, Shen Lian shouted, "Wei Zhongxian is dead."
The fighting below just stopped.
Wei Zhongxian died and he couldn't get the money for selling his life, so who would still sell his life?
The guards looked at me and I looked at you, and finally slowly exited the courtyard.
…
Not to mention Shen Lian dealing with Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan with the burned corpse of a book boy. When the rain stopped and the morning light had not completely dispelled the night, a high-pitched laughter came from a thatched cottage on the outskirts of Fucheng County.
"It's you, it's you..."
Wei Zhongxian thought that the person who rescued him from Jin Yiwei Commander Shen Lian was one of his descendants, that he was a green forest hero who coveted his wealth, that he thought that the person with power was the political opponent he had killed in the past eight years. Descendants, in any case, did not expect that the person who rescued him was Lin San, the man who had not shown up for more than a month, and even Queen Zhang Yan thought he was dead and cried for him.
"You are indeed not dead."
Lin Yue said: "Is Eunuch Wei very disappointed?"
"Disappointed? Haha, why are you disappointed? You are just a knife in the hands of Zhu Youjian."
Regardless of whether Chongzhen had wanted to deal with him for a long time, but because of the overall situation, he had been holding back. In short, it accelerated the confrontation between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, which led to the turning point of the current situation. It was the unsolved case of the death of three Jinyi guards and the disappearance of Lin San.
"Is it?"
Lin Yue smiled and did not explain.
Wei Zhongxian said: "Do you think that if you bring me down, that boy Chongzhen will let you go? I think you should know who is the real mastermind behind the treasure ship case. Do you think you can get a way out by framing the crime on me? too naive."
"It's not certain who won't be let go."
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Yue said: "It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not. The first question is, where do you put your money?"
"Do you want to use this money to buy your life from Chongzhen's son?"
From Wei Zhongxian's point of view, he was now sent to Fengyang to keep a vigil, and the eunuch group was also destroyed. For Chongzhen, his current meaning was that he had been in power for eight years and was greedy for money.
"No, I want to use it myself."
"use it yourself?"
Wei Zhongxian was stunned: "I thought you were reluctant to let go of Queen Yi'an. I heard that in the past few days when you were missing, she had lost weight and lost weight. She looked even sadder than the little lady in your family. I'm very curious. , how did you, a little eunuch, make Queen Yi'an so worried and obsessed with her."
Lin Yue said: "You really want to know?"
Wei Zhongxian said: "I really want to know."
