"I, I killed you for the sake of justice!”Zhou Wanqing's heart was like a deer bumping into a deer. She subconsciously took a step back and said through gritted teeth.
"Oh? What have I done to let down the people of the world? Tell me!"
"Crafty King, pay with your life for my master!”
Zhou Wanqing shouted, and the dagger in her hand reached forward, heading straight for Zhu You Jian's chest!
Almost at the same time, the door was opened with a bang. Chen Wenlu, the supervisor of the East Military Chamber, broke in." Your Highness, I've found out that Zhou Wanqing's real name is Zhou Ziyun. After her father and brother died tragically, she was taken away by a Taoist Nun Ciyun and became a disciple of the Iron Sword Sect..."
" You..." Zhou Wanqing was stunned when she heard this. The dagger in her hand tilted three inches and stabbed into Zhu Youjian's left shoulder!
Puff!
Fresh blood spurted out and dyed his clothes red!
"How dare you assassinate His Highness! Men, men!”
Zhou Wanqing saw that she had missed the opportunity. She took out two white pellets from her pocket and smashed them on the ground. Immediately, the room was filled with white fog, blocking her vision.
"Cough cough cough…"
By the time the white fog dispersed, the person had long disappeared. Chen Wenlu shouted and shouted to catch the assassin. Zhu Youjian covered the wound on his shoulder and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Was there really a deviation in the historical line?
Why is Zhou Wanqing, who will become my princess consort in the future, actually trying to kill me time and time again!
What grudge?
Xu Guangqi, Cao Wenzhao, Chen Qiyu, Li Yan, and the others hurried over. Xu Guangsheng used a high-concentration white wine to clean his wound. Fortunately, the stab was not deep and did not hurt his bones, but he bled a lot.
"Call Xiao Qi, who is on duty tonight, over!”The Jingzhao Prefecture Army had always been strict in their management of the army. Now that their commander-in-chief had been assassinated, Cao Wenzhao was furious. Zhu Youjian waved his hand." This woman has special skills and has nothing to do with the brothers on duty. Everyone, go and rest!"”
Everyone retreated. Zhu Youjian suddenly found a small and exquisite silver earring on the ground. He bent down to pick it up, looked at it for a moment, put the earring into his pocket, and blew out the candle.
Early the next morning, in front of the government office, the Wronging Drum, which had been placed in the warehouse for several years, was carried out again. There was a notice pasted in front of the drum. If anyone had any grievances, feel free to complain. There was the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Governor, Prince Xin, His Highness, to seek justice for you!
The surrounding commoners looked at it, shook their heads, and walked away.
" The commoners have a great injustice in their hearts, but because the previous magistrate and the officials are protecting each other, they dare not beat the drum to voice out their grievances…" Li Yan smiled and gave Cao Wenzhao a look." Lord Cao, please do this…"
"Brother Youcheng, do you mean to kill one as an example to others?”
Li Yan nodded." If you want to kill him, you have to kill the biggest bully in the city. Only then can you achieve Your Highness 'goal."”
Cao Wenzhao accepted the order and changed out of his official robes. He put on a linen shirt that was neither new nor old, and led an attendant out of the government office, heading straight for the largest rice shop in the city.
An hour later, the Drum of Wronging Injustice sounded!
"If you have any grievances, tell me immediately!" Li Yan heard the sound of the drum and hurriedly went out. Seeing that it was Cao Wenzhao who was beating the drum, he loudly said.
"This commoner reported that the Yufeng Rice Shop in the city was short of two catties. I bought three liters of white rice, but he only gave me two and a half liters!”
"How dare you be a profiteer! Men, go and capture the owner of Yu Feng Rice Shop!”
Li Yan threw out a token, and several dozen brightly armored soldiers of the Capital Prefecture immediately followed behind Cao Wenzhao as they charged towards the Yufeng Rice Shop!
"Hand over your boss immediately, or I'll tear down your damn shop today!”
When the shop assistant saw that the big black man who had come to buy grain had returned with a group of soldiers in armor and carrying muskets, he was frightened out of his wits. He hurriedly lifted the plank to stop them from rushing in.
"Capital Zhao Prefecture soldiers, raise your spears!"
"Ready!"
"Release!"
The gunshots were deafening, and several large holes appeared on the signboard of Yufeng Rice Shop!
Cao Wenzhao kicked away the wooden planks that had been smashed by the gun and rushed into the shop. At this time, the shopkeeper Jia Liangchen had already received the news that someone was committing murder here. He immediately gathered the thugs in the shop and charged towards the rice shop.
Cao Wenzhao had never imagined that a small rice shop would have over a hundred thugs!
There was even a team of archers dressed in red and holding bows!
A mere rice shop owner actually dared to raise private armed forces. This was already a major crime of treason!
"Sir, we are surrounded!" The front and back doors of the rice shop were tightly blocked by thugs. Each of them had a fierce look on their faces and held Ghost Head Blades in their hands, emitting a murderous aura.
"Children, follow me and charge out!”Cao Wenzhao pulled out his military saber from his trouser leg and mounted it on the barrel. The others followed suit, and in an instant, a dazzling saber light flashed, blinding the hatchet men.
"Kill them!"
Cao Wenzhao shouted as he thrust the spear in his hand forward, accurately stabbing into the abdomen of the leader of the burly men!
Puff!
The bayonet was pulled out, and blood splattered three feet away, dyeing the snow-white wall red!
"Kill them!"
The Capital Zhao Prefecture soldiers charged forward in unison, their blades like a forest. Wherever they passed, there would be casualties!
The thugs were frightened. They never dreamed that this group of soldiers would really dare to kill people on the street!
"Brothers!" Just as everyone was trembling with fear and preparing to escape, the rice shop owner, Jia Liangchen, staggered over and waved his fat hand." How dare you pretend to be soldiers and come to my shop to commit murder? Do you know who this Hang City official, Lord Wang, is to me? That's my father-in-law. Arrest them all!”
