Chapter 149: Assassination
At this moment, Xu Sima couldn't help but feel regretful. If he hadn't agreed to the marriage of his stupid son from the beginning to the end, or let him get married as soon as possible, so that his family would be involved in his mind, I'm afraid that today's incident would not happen. The son-in-law who was picked out by the Su family from a bunch of small catchers was forced to this point.
But then, Xu Sima shook his head again and rejected this idea. Without the Su family, it would still be the Li family's Wang family... I know the character of my son. Once he sees a beautiful woman, he can't move, even if he rejects the Su family. His son will soon be attracted by other women, and he will also miss the Su family very much...
If I had known today...he...he should have strictly disciplined his useless son since he was a child, taught him to study hard, taught him the way of virtue, and shouldn't be so arrogant and indulgent with him...
But thinking about it now...it's too late! It's too late!
Sixty thousand taels, nearly all of the Xu family's belongings!
Of course, there is another way, kill Xu Qing! right! The beginning of everything that made the Xu family feel powerless and troublesome was the appearance of Xu Qing! It is because of this person's familiarity with the law that the Xu family made two shots but could only hit the cotton... Now that the prince is in Yongzhou, if a court official dies, it will definitely cause the prince and the state government to go to war, but if it is just death An insignificant businessman who turned out to be a policeman...
The status of a businessman is low, who would ask about a businessman's life and death?
Now as long as this person is gone, the Su family will have nothing to fear!
You have to be fast this time! Must be clean!
Even if Xu Qing knew anyone in the palace, he was at most just a manager. With his status, he shouldn't be able to reach too high a level. As long as he strikes fast enough and doesn't leave any traces, there shouldn't be any problems.
Originally, Xu Sima didn't want to do this, because killing people by hand is always risky, and the risk is extremely high. At this time, when the Lord is around, don't make any small moves. Seeing the blood is a step that can't be taken if you can't take it.
But today, I am afraid that this step has to be taken!
Benefits and risks are always proportional! As long as it succeeds, everything is worth it!
This time not only to save 60,000 taels of silver, but also to avenge Shen'er!
State Prison
All the prisoners here are felons, some of them are bandits who murdered and set fire, and even a few of them were the bandit leaders who were captured when the cottage was wiped out. Save it for next year.
Da Chu's beheading of death row criminals can only be done after the fall of autumn, and the emperor's imperial pen must be personally approved. The local government does not have the right to selfishly use the death penalty.
Even if the crime committed by this person is serious, the death penalty must be issued by the imperial court. Generally, this process takes a long time.
Some death row inmates even have to stay in jail for several years without necessarily being able to wait for their own verdict.
Three years is enough time for someone to divorce, and a document cannot be approved? !
Of course, based on the observation of the cell boss, these extremely irritable death row prisoners are still very calm in the cell, and none of them complained about the issuance of documents even if they were cut in line by others, which can be said to be quite understanding humble and polite...
You said that if you were so humble and polite outside, how could you come in?
It's a pity that I learned everything after I came in...but it was too late.
...
At this time, there was an old man standing outside a prison cell. After giving a piece of silver to the guard guarding the prison, the old man left immediately with sense of humor.
In that cell was a middle-aged man with a long scar on his face, an unshaven beard, and an unknown number of lice in his messy hair.
The middle-aged man looked at a lunch box handed over by the old man, rushed over, and after opening it, it was obvious that there was a whole chicken.
The man didn't care about other things, first he tore off a chicken leg, put it in his mouth and gnawed a few bites, then looked at the old man: "What do you want to do?"
The old man said: "Second Master, the slave represents my master to negotiate a deal with Er Master. My master will help Er Master escape, but the Second Master will help my master get rid of one person. After the matter is completed, 10,000 two."
The second leader's eyes suddenly glowed, if he could escape from this dark cage, so what if he risked his life?
So the second master quickly asked: "Is this true?!"
The old man nodded and said, "Naturally."
...
evening of the second day
Although it was evening at this time, due to the short days and long nights, the sky was already twilight, and the setting sun had long since disappeared.
When Xu Qing came out of the shop, there was already snowflakes falling, but fortunately it was not very big.
Just when Xu Qing was about to go back to the house to get an umbrella, a beautiful figure in white appeared at the door, and it was Su Qian who came.
Su Qian held two umbrellas in her hand, one umbrella covered her head, and the other was in her hand. When she saw Xu Qing, she handed one over.
Xu Qing asked in surprise: "Why is the lady here?"
Under normal circumstances, only when the wind and snow are heavy, Su Qian will let Su's carriage come to pick her up. Like this kind of light snow that is like catkins flying, it is good to go with an umbrella, and no one is needed to pick her up.
Su Qian looked at Xu Qing and said, "Considering that your husband may not have brought an umbrella, I came here to give you one."
Xu Qing smiled and said, "Thank you, lady, there just happens to be no umbrellas in the shop."
At this time, even if I run an umbrella shop and workshop, I have to say that there is no umbrella. Is it just an umbrella that my wife sent over? That is a caring heart, the single dog in front of the screen knows nothing...
Xu Qing and Su Qian strolled in the snow holding umbrellas and headed home.
Since there is no such thing as a street lamp in this era, Xu Qing has to carry a lantern to illuminate it, but the brightness is really touching... The area illuminated by the lantern is also extremely limited.
On the road, the two chatted while walking, so that the road would not be too boring.
At this moment, Xu Qing suddenly had a feeling of being watched by someone. Just when Xu Qing's feeling just appeared, Su Qian pulled Xu Qing past, and Xu Qing staggered into Su. Shallow front, soft...
And Xu Qing's position was already occupied by a man in black who jumped down from the nearby Parasol Tree tree, and slashed to the ground with a knife.
If Xu Qing was still standing there just now, he might have been split in half.
Su Qian stepped in front of Xu Qing, blocked him behind her, put away her umbrella as a weapon, and looked at the man in black vigilantly.
