Chapter 45: Catch the Assassin
Cui Shanyuan's eyes were full of cruelty, Cheng Shi couldn't live, and they couldn't live if he lived.
"He was brought into the Yinchuan County Government Office by the people around Princess Changle. By the way, Li Su and Si Yunlan went to the Yinchuan County Government Office yesterday." The man in black said calmly.
"What!" Cui Shanyuan's eyes were red with anger, "He is in Yinchuan County now, why didn't you tell him earlier!"
Although the men in black looked down on Cui Shanyuan, they also knew that he was now in alliance with them. "Our people have just found out about this matter. The most important thing now is to think about what to do."
Cui Shanyuan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. He knew that these barbarians would not succeed, "Tomorrow will be the time to interrogate Lin Jingdan.
Chengshi cannot come out to cause trouble."
"Then I'll kill him." The man in black obviously often did this kind of thing, and his tone was very calm.
Cui Shanyuan was very confused at the moment. Cheng Shi had been at the Yinchuan County Government Office for some time. Li Su had also been to the Yinchuan County Government Office yesterday. Maybe during this period, Cheng Shi had told them everything.
If he really said it, it would probably be difficult for him to go through the test in the hall tomorrow.
"We can't let him survive tonight." Cui Shanyuan looked at the man in black seriously, "I think you don't want to miss your master's important event."
The man in black glanced at him but did not reply. He turned around and quietly left the Governor's Mansion. What he didn't know was that after he left the Governor's Mansion, a figure followed him quietly.
Cui Shanyuan in the room sat helplessly on the chair after the man in black left. Now he can only kill Chengshi and die without proof.
The events that happened recently were one after another, and he suspected that he had committed something too old. He hoped that everything would go well tomorrow. After that, he would definitely go to the temple to burn incense sticks.
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, the man in black took advantage of the night to wander around the streets of Yinzhou, and finally stopped in front of an ordinary household.
He looked around, then hid in the shadow next to the door and imitated the cuckoo call twice, "Cuckoo - cuckoo -"
Soon the door of the private house was opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was an ordinary young man who could not be ordinary, with the kind of appearance that even in the crowd would not be recognized.
He opened the door carefully, and from his position he could clearly see someone hiding in the shadows. He was not frightened by the man in black. Instead, he carefully looked around and opened the door to let him in.
After the man in black entered the yard, he hurriedly closed the door.
"Sir, what are your orders?" The young man lowered his head and said respectfully.
"How is the investigation going for you during the day?"
This place was one of their contact points. When he learned that Cheng Shi had entered Yinchuan, he urgently activated all the jars hidden in Yinchuan and asked them to find Cheng Shi's whereabouts.
Although the man in black despises Cui Shanyuan, now is not the time to quarrel with him. It is still useful to keep his master.
The news that Cheng Shi had gone to the Yinchuan County Government Office was discovered by the spies in the morning. After knowing Cheng Shi's whereabouts, he ordered them to check the distribution of Yinchuan County Government Houses, the patrol routes of the officials, and the room where Cheng Shi was located.
Originally, all this should not be discovered so easily, but luckily, they happened to have a spy working as a yamen servant in Yinchuan County.
"Sir, we've found everything." The young man said, taking out a map from his pocket, "This is the distribution map of Yinchuan County government offices and patrol routes. The room where Cheng Shi is located has also been marked."
The man in black unfolded the map, took a look at it, and then put it away, "I know, let me inform the brothers to be more honest these days."
"Yes, sir, I will definitely inform you." The young man said respectfully.
After the explanation, the man in black quickly left with the map. After exiting the alley, he went straight to the Yinchuan County Government Office. He deliberately took a detour behind the County Government Office and then climbed over the wall.
The Yinchuan County government office is not an important place. Although there are patrols by on-duty government officials, they usually happen once an hour, and others take advantage of the opportunity in the middle of the time.
After climbing over the wall, the man in black followed the direction of the map and found the room near Cheng Shi. He quietly climbed to the roof, then leaned over the tiles and remained motionless.
He was waiting for the patrolling government officer.
After about half an incense burner, the patrolling government officials finally appeared. The man in black held his breath and waited for them to leave.
After they left, the man in black waited for a while, and when there was no movement, he turned over and jumped down. His skill was indeed very questionable. He jumped down like a light cat without making any sound.
The room where Cheng Shi was was lit with a dim kerosene lamp, and the sound of coughing could be heard from time to time.
The man in black quietly leaned over, his body pressed against the wall, and he stretched out his hand to pierce the paper window. Through the small hole, he saw a person lying on the bed inside, and there was blood-stained gauze on the bedside.
It seemed that the man was seriously injured.
It should be undoubtedly solid.
The man in black silently drew out the sword in his hand and gently pushed open the door. The person inside was still lying on the bed coughing non-stop, as if he had not heard the sound of the door opening.
The man in black stepped forward quickly, raised his sword and struck the vital part of the man on the bed.
But the person who was coughing suddenly stopped coughing. As if he had eyes on his back, he lifted up the quilt covering his body and threw it at the man in black.
The quilt covers the man in black, and the extra person on the bed is dealt a fatal blow.
The man in black yelled in his heart that it was bad, and threw away the thin quilt covering his head, and then discovered that the man on the bed was not Chengshi at all.
"Come here! Catch the assassin!" Shuoshan shouted, and five or six government officials rushed into the small room. The door was also tightly surrounded by government officials.
As soon as the man in black saw it, he knew that he had fallen into a trap. If he was already surrounded, it would be impossible to escape. He knew that if he was caught, his master would definitely not save him, nor would he let him go.
Pass him.
Seeing the people in the yamen who were holding weapons and staring at him eagerly, the man in black gritted his teeth and was ready to bite the poison in his teeth and commit suicide by taking the poison.
This way, at least the whole body can be preserved, and there won't be much pain.
But before he could press the poison in his teeth, Shuoshan had already stepped forward neatly and removed his mandible.
When the others saw Shuoshan taking action, they also stepped forward and removed the weapons from his hands, took the ropes they had prepared and tied him up.
After taking out the poison from his mouth, Shuoshan took him to the lobby.
In the dark night, the lobby is brightly lit like daylight.
