Chapter 84 The long night
It was already midnight, and the people of the city were already asleep, but the entire Fuyang Earl's Mansion was brightly lit...
The young master of the Earl Fuyang and the young master of the Earl's Mansion were actually assassinated, and this was enough to shock the Earl's Mansion.
Teams of soldiers in armor walked out of the Earl's Mansion, all of whom were private soldiers of the Earl's Mansion.
Although Wang Dingchang did not have a fiefdom, according to the aristocratic system, he was granted the title of Count still had 500 private soldiers in the family.
And they are private soldiers belonging to the Earl's Mansion of Fuyang.
The soldiers all held up torches and headed towards the Dongcheng District. The ground trembled, and the movement caused by the sound awakened the people who had already entered their sleep.
Lights were on one house.
"What happened? How could so many soldiers take to the streets?"
"I heard that the prodigal young master from the Earl's Mansion was assassinated. He is going to catch the assassin!"
"Hmph, this prodigal son acts flamboyantly. Look at the big and small things that have happened in Yangzhou City these days are all related to him. I think this is jealous!"
"Does this still need to be thought about? The assassin must have been sent by Liushan. What did the Liu family have been harmed by the prodigal son?"
"He deserves it, is it easy to mess with a prodigal son?"
"Be careful, I dare not say this."
The citizens of the city got up and put on their clothes casually, and came out to watch the fun...
Dongcheng District is the area where the nobles of Yangzhou City live, and this movement also disturbed them.
"Touch! Touch! Touch!"
A violent knock on the door sounded.
"Who? I don't sleep at night!" Yangzhou City judicial director Zhang Yuanzheng shouted and opened the door.
After opening the door, I found that there were dozens of soldiers wearing armor outside.
"Who are you? What are you doing?"
Zhang Yuanzheng asked loudly.
"We are from the Earl's Mansion of Fuyang." Liu Jin, the leader, said in a deep voice: "Just a while ago, our young master of the Earl's Mansion was assassinated nearby. He was ordered to find the assassin. If he offended him, please forgive me!"
"What?" After hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Yuanzheng was also shocked in an instant. It was no small matter that the assassination of the Earl's son was not a trivial matter. He hurriedly asked, "What about the young master of the noble mansion now?"
"My young master is lucky and life-long, so it is natural and there is no obstacle, but the assassin cannot be ignored!" Liu Jin said again.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief. If Wang Kang really had an accident, Wang Dingchang wouldn't go crazy.
The Wang family has been single-handed for three generations, and Wang Dingchang is doting on his son in every way, otherwise how could he cultivate a super prodigal son who is famous throughout the city?
Zhang Yuanzheng thought about it and asked again: "What are you looking for an assassin to come to my house for? Will I still hide an assassin?"
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Kang is assassinated nearby. Perhaps there are some accomplices hiding here without authorization. We naturally have to search carefully!" Liu Jin said coldly.
"Look for an assassin to look elsewhere, I don't have it here!" Zhang Yuanzheng also had a bad expression. How could he ask someone to come in and look for it at will? It was still on this night, which affected the rest of his family.
"That's so offensive!" Liu Jin clasped his fists and said coldly: "Search it for me!"
"Yes!" The soldiers outside immediately received the order and entered one after another.
"You, you are so brave. I am the judicial officer of the imperial court. What right do you have to search my home!" Zhang Yuanzheng's body trembled.
But Liu Jin ignored it at all and had never heard of it.
The same scene happened everywhere in Dongcheng District. All the private soldiers of the Earl's Mansion searched for people everywhere under the order of Wang Kang. They wanted to make things worse and make the water even more messed up!
Thunder rolled in the sky, and the drizzled raindrops gradually connected into rain lines, rendering the night sky deeper, as if indicating the uneasiness tonight...
Liu family.
Liu Shan sat alone in the room, his hands pressed against the armrests of the chair, showing his uneasiness.
He finally made up his mind to assassinate Wang Kang, and he could no longer bear it, not only because Wang Kang knew his biggest secret, but also because Wang Kang caused too much harm to his Liu family!
The continuous layout caused his two-year accumulation of Liushan to be completely destroyed, which made the Liu family so devastated!
He has been forced into a dead end!
Assassinating the Earl's son was something he never dared to think about before, but now he has done it.
He knew that assassination was unwise at this moment, and everyone would think it was his doing, but as long as he succeeded and left no evidence, there was nothing he could do about it.
Because there is someone to protect him, and this person has also participated...
At the same time, the governor's mansion.
Dong Gan looked at Cao Shenjun, who was in the lower head with a pale face and asked, "Are you saying that prodigal son was not dead? Instead, both assassins were dead?"
"Yes!" Cao Shenjun nodded.
"You didn't even take back the assassin's body?"
Dong Gan asked again.
"Yes..." he responded with difficulty.
"Waste!" Dong Gan suddenly stood up, picked up the teacup and smashed it at Cao Shenjun's feet.
His face was unstable, and things were getting tricky now. The two assassins who assassinated Wang Kang, one of them was the Deadpool whom Liu Shan secretly raised.
The other one is the crossbow archer he found in the army...
At this moment, the assassination failed, and even the corpse weapon was detained by the prodigal son. If you were careful, you would definitely find clues.
What should I do? He just wanted to kill Wang Kang, but he didn't want to make things worse. As long as the assassination was successful and all the evidence was eliminated, it would be easy to say.
But now he is out of his plan.
"Report,"
Just then, a soldier suddenly walked in outside the door.
"What's wrong?" Dong Gan asked hurriedly. This was the person he had arranged to inquire about the news before.
"The Earl's Mansion of Fuyang dispatched a large number of private soldiers to the Dongcheng District to look for assassins. Now Yangzhou City is full of wind and rain..." The soldiers reported.
Things are getting big! He had thought that the assassination of the Earl's son was a great event.
But the problem now is that the assassination not only failed, but also left behind deadly evidence. If he was followed by the investigation, he would definitely be found.
Dong Gan's face looked extremely ugly. Assassinating Wang Kang was just his intention, and even his father didn't know it.
If this matter broke out, it would put his father in an extremely passive situation.
Although they and the Earl's Mansion have been fighting secretly, they must not reach the point of assassination of each other. This is a breaking of the rules and no one can tolerate it.
what to do?
Dong Gan looked at the rain curtain outside and lost his mind for a moment...
The rain dripped against the road, Wang Kang and Li Qingman walked side by side, with someone holding an umbrella for them behind them.
He came to a single courtyard on the outskirts of the city. This was the place he made an appointment with Tong Yue, and Tong Yue would bring Liucheng here according to his request.
This is the place he carefully prepared for Liu Cheng, and it will also give Liu Cheng the best destination.
It starts from him and ends from him.
But before this, he still needed Liu Cheng to solve some of the questions in his heart...
