A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 602 Assassination
Night, Si time.

A black shadow deftly climbed over the wall of the garrison mansion. He walked close to the rockery wall, keeping his figure in the shadows all the time. Even some maids and family guards passed by, and it was difficult to spot his figure.

Soon, before he came to a house, he squinted his eyes and looked into the house quietly for a moment, then his body quietly hid behind a clump of rockery, his figure seemed to merge with it one.

He waited quietly, the winter in the Northland, the night was extremely cold, but he still remained motionless, his breath was soothing, as if there was nothing there.

He waited quietly, and after an unknown amount of time, a fat middle-aged man in a garrison uniform came humming a little tune, accompanied by a few followers.

He seemed to be drunk, and the guards beside him staggered.

"Hey, baby, open the door!"

The middle-aged fat man slammed on the door.

"You bastard, people are waiting for you overnight, but you go to find that foxy girl, you can eat yourself tonight."

A coquettish and angry female voice came from inside.

The middle-aged fat man guarded and begged for mercy: "Honey, you know that the husband is just for entertainment, and those merchants entertain the husband, can they not act on the occasion? But in the heart of the husband, you have always been the only woman, and that is the king thief." His concubine, Ji Junjiao, is known as the most beautiful woman in the world, and she is not as good as your little finger..."

The words of the middle-aged fat man's defense made the women inside very happy, but thinking about waiting, she became angry and screamed: "I don't want to listen, I just don't listen..."

The middle-aged fat man spoke softly, and said even more flatteringly: "Baby, open the door quickly, it's freezing cold, you don't want to freeze your husband, do you?"

He is begging for mercy, and the few attendants behind him look at each other and smile, adults are like this, lustful and fearful, especially the daughter of the Zhai family, she is very handy when calling for adults on weekdays, adults have always been eaten in front of her You have to die.

Suddenly their smiles faltered.

A few soft sounds of "Puff" sounded to the middle-aged fat man's guarding ears, but it was like thunder. It scratched his throat, then quickly retracted, bringing out a few drops of blood.

At this moment, it seemed that it was just a flash of lightning. The middle-aged fat man stood guard and several subordinates, clutching their throats tightly, twitching and struggling desperately on the ground.

The faint and inaudible footsteps went away. The woman in the house heard the movement outside. That dead ghost, seeing that she didn't open the door, just left?
She hated the quilt to cover her head and face: "Hmph, within a month, don't expect my slave to show you good looks."

The night was quiet, and in the cold wind, a faint smell of blood spread.

……

Almost at the same time, Cui Qi's seven people also quietly climbed over the outer wall of the guild hall, and under the guidance of the ghost fox, they marched towards the core from time to time. Along the way, they solved some patrolling personnel. He had a knack for the big and small doors that were locked backwards inside, so that they wouldn't rattle when they were pushed open.

This kind of noise is extremely loud in the middle of the night, enough to attract the attention of many people.

The guild hall is a typical Shanxi merchant guild hall. There are three courtyards in the front, middle and back. There are four stages in it, including the main hall, the hall of wealth, the hall of seven saints, and the hall of Wenchang. Each stage is more than ten meters high, or even tens of meters. , on both sides of the bottom, there are access passages, and the roofs are double-layered.

The ghost fox has found out clearly that the fake banknotes printed by these profiteers are placed in the hall, which can be described as extremely unscrupulous.

Soon, everyone approached the main hall. Looking in from the side door, there was a huge square inside. Apart from the majestic and grand main stage, both sides were covered with wing buildings, all separated by wooden pillars, and there were about dozens of wing rooms. In the middle, at least hundreds of seats were gone, and instead, there was a busy scene of printing counterfeit tickets.

Lanterns are hung one by one, brightly lit. In the middle of the square, there are desks. On the desks, there are all fake food stamp printing plates, densely packed, and I don’t know how many pieces there are. From time to time, there are technicians who are busy printing stacks of banknotes Good fake food stamps are stored in cage boxes.

And around them, there are many strong men patrolling with weapons, including swords, even bird guns and hand guns, and they are all made of flint hair. A few people who look like housekeepers pick up an uncut The large-format food stamps were carefully analyzed, and occasionally exchanged a few words in a low voice.

Seeing this kind of scene, Cui Qi and the others felt their stomachs explode. These profiteers are really bold and reckless. The few people looked at each other, and they all knew each other tacitly.

They swiftly took out their headscarves to cover their mouths and noses, and then each looked behind them, and a black thing appeared on each hand.

But it is a poisonous smoke bomb researched by the East Road Military Factory. This kind of poisonous smoke bomb is no better than that used on the battlefield. When it explodes, the sound is quiet and quite dull. It's inside a lot of buildings.

Moreover, this kind of poisonous smoke bomb is slightly weaker and not lethal. It is mainly used to cause confusion, and it is generally used by sentry personnel of the intelligence department.

Cui Qi made gestures, one of them took out the torch, and two members of the anti-rape team held the handle of the poisonous smoke bomb, lit the fuse at the other end, checked that the fuse in their hands was almost ignited, and threw it out violently.

"Clap!"

The sound of poisonous smoke bombs being dropped on the ground attracted many people's attention. Many people looked towards the place where the noise was happening. Lift your steps and come over to watch.

Unexpectedly...

"Boom!"

After two dull sounds, the poisonous smoke bomb exploded, and some iron pieces flew out, blowing up the counterfeit ticket technician and the surrounding staff on the spot, not to mention the wounds, and the sharp and choking smoke quickly filled the air. , The person who inhaled it immediately coughed and became dizzy.

"Someone sneaked in!"

"Be careful, this is a poisonous bomb used in the army..."

There was a moment of chaos in the hall, many people screamed loudly, even the statue of Guan Gong enshrined in the hall seemed to be surprised to see all this.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Several more poisonous smoke bombs were thrown out, and the poisonous smoke billowed, filling the hall everywhere. The people in the hall, etc., ran around like headless chickens, and even the guards who were on patrol, after inhaling the poisonous smoke, all of them were desperate. Cough, howl of fear.

"Action, within a quarter of an hour, kill them all!"

Inside Cui Qi's towel, there was a dull voice of order, as well as an unmistakable murderous aura.

Clanging, the sound of Qi Dao being unsheathed continued, in the shining light of the long saber, Cui Qi and the others rushed towards the messy people in the square like dragons...

In the quiet night, the guild hall was suddenly ablaze, and the front, middle, and rear courtyards were all shrouded in fireworks, which shocked countless people to wake up and open the windows to watch.

And at this moment, there was also a mournful howl from inside the garrison mansion: "Come on, there are assassins..."

Tonight, Lingqiu County is doomed to have no sleep.

……

On the second day of November, Shanxi Town, Daizhou, Weishi.

Commander Hao Yongsheng, with a few servants, walked on the street swaggeringly, counting the time, a big show downstairs in Tianhou Palace Theater will start soon, thinking of the Tsing Yi he saw that day, he felt itchy in his heart Yes, even though the Tsing Yi is a man, it vividly portrays the stamina and dignity of a chaste woman.

Hao Yongsheng felt like a cat scratching in his heart, if this Tsing Yi put on a costume and behaved like this on the bed, how would it feel?
The hateful thing is that the young Zhizhou, the old garrison, and several commanders all paid attention to this Tsing Yi at the same time. It seems that it is very difficult for him to monopolize it, but if he plays with each other for a few days, he is the Zhizhou. I will give myself this face. After all, the old defense is about to retreat. With the support of all parties, I have a lot of calls for the next defense.

A few soldiers came swaggeringly in front of them, wearing red military caps and battered mandarin duck battle jackets. In the cold weather, all of them still had their chests exposed, and the black hairs on their chests outnumbered each other. They looked arrogant. , came all the way and overturned several stalls, and then threw a piece of silver nonchalantly.

Everyone laughed loudly: "Master has made a fortune, and there is plenty of money."

Seeing their ferocious appearance, passers-by fled away one after another. Hao Yongsheng saw these soldiers coming straight up, and secretly called out unlucky. He didn't know where the army ruffians came from.

With his identity, he naturally had no reason to give way to a few pawns, but he was anxious to watch the show earlier, and wanted to see the Tsing Yi who gave him his soul and color, and he didn't bother to show his identity, and everyone knew that now the military The ruffian can't be provoked, and he will mutiny at every turn.

He gave way, but the servants beside him were not angry. They followed Commander Hao, and in the city of Yizhou, they wanted the wind to get the wind, and the rain to get the rain. Who wouldn't pay attention?A few lowly pawns want to make way for themselves?
It's just that Mr. Hao gave way, they had no reason not to give way, everyone secretly inquired after the fact, which battalion these guys belonged to, no matter how serious they were, they reluctantly let go.

It's just that a servant was angry, so he couldn't help but move a little slower. Several army ruffians passed by him, and one of them stared at him: "Good thief, do you dare to step aside in front of Grandpa?"

In the stunned eyes of the servant, he stretched out his big hand like a cattail fan, and slapped his face.

This family has no time to hide.

"Snapped!"

He felt gold stars in his eyes, a buzzing in his head, and sweetness in his mouth.

When he vomited, several teeth spit out bloody water.

He was stunned, and then he yelled loudly: "Dare to hit me, the master will fight with you."

The rest of the servants were also fighting against each other, and went up to scuffle with him.

Hao Yongsheng was very anxious, and shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight!"

Before he knew it, the remaining army ruffians had surrounded him. Hao Yongsheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He was also from the army, so he was still vigilant. At a glance, the Qi swords on the soldiers were just Ordinary soldiers, how can there be such a high-quality Qi knife?

Just as this thought came up, a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he knew that someone beside him had already drawn a knife to kill him.

At this moment, Hao Yongsheng only managed to avoid his body a little bit, but felt a chill, his right arm had already left his body, Hao Yongsheng screamed loudly, rolling and crawling.

The light of the knife flashed again, and the sharp Qi knife pierced deeply into his left rib from the other side. Hao Yongsheng howled earth-shatteringly, blood foam gushed out from his mouth, and the intense pain made him His whole body twitched, his whole body was covered with blood, and his facial muscles were all distorted.

And those servants were stunned and caught off guard, and were instantly killed by two "military ruffians".

Hao Yongsheng was rolling on the ground at this time, feeling that all the strength in his body seemed to have disappeared, but his survival instinct still made him crawl forward desperately, and several "military ruffians" chased after him, slashing continuously.

Hao Yongsheng howled next to the knife, trying to crawl forward, with hot blood flowing down the road, and steam rising in the cold wind.

The sudden murder made the passers-by on the street scream, and they gathered in a circle to watch from a distance, watching those "military ruffians" kill the Commander on the spot because of a quarrel, and even more unscrupulously chasing and killing them all the way.

Finally, Hao Yongsheng's voice was gone. He lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, as if he was dying.

Several "military ruffians" looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward, checked Hao Yongsheng's breath, and nodded.

The leader looked around at the people around him. He stepped on Hao Yongsheng's body, took out a stack of leaflets from his arms, and threw them all over the street like snowflakes. , anyone who dares to collude with others will be punished by everyone!"

When the defenders in the city arrived, there were no "military ruffians" but the bodies of Hao Yongsheng and others, lying in a pool of blood all over the ground.

Many leaflets were also sold out.
