Chapter 429 Assassinated
Early that morning, Old Master Feng came again in a carriage. Just as he was approaching the inn, a group of masked men suddenly rushed out and hacked at the Feng family.
The incident happened so suddenly that no one could react.
Moreover, it happened in Yangzhou City. No one expected that anyone would dare to attack the Feng family.
When Zhu Mingqing received the news, many guards had been killed or injured, and Old Master Feng was only breathing his last.
"Make way, everyone, get out of the way!"
Jiang Feng brought people over, drove away the onlookers, and carefully sent Old Master Feng to the inn.
Zhu Mingqing had some confidence in treating common external injuries, but she had no idea how to treat this kind of injury to the lungs. She immediately took out a piece of ginseng to keep the old man alive while waiting for the doctor to arrive.
When the Feng family received the news, they immediately came over in large numbers.
The second and fourth houses were clamoring to see someone, and Master Feng Da and Master Feng San were trying to dissuade them. The noisy noise made everyone frown.
Feng Shao tugged at his father's arm and pulled his third uncle to the side.
There was no obstacle for a moment, the second master and the fourth master looked at each other and rushed into the room.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and blocked their way.
When the Fourth Master saw that it was a person in a wheelchair, he blurted out: "You dead cripple, get out of here!" Upon hearing that, Jiang Feng and others immediately drew their swords and glared at the Fourth Master Feng. The scene was so grand that it made people feel chilled.
These people had all seen blood, and the murderous aura emanating from their bodies made it impossible for anyone to get close to them.
Master Feng Si's face turned grim: "Who are you? The person being treated in there is my own father. Why are you stopping us from entering?"
The second master Feng was also very tough. With a side glance, the guards behind him also surrounded him. Seeing the two groups confronting each other, the first master Feng frowned, thinking that Mr. Feng was meddling too much.
"Mr. Feng, please move aside. This is our Feng family's family affair!" he said.
Feng Shao couldn't stop it. Although Mr. Feng didn't do anything, it still made people feel uneasy.
Luo Tingshan looked over here with a cold look: "Stupid!"
Master Feng couldn't believe it: "Why are you cursing at me?"
Zhu Mingqing standing next to him also twitched his lips. If Master Feng knew that the person scolding him was his own nephew, who knows how he would feel?
Suddenly I am looking forward to the moment when General Luo’s identity will be revealed!
"If I were you, I would impose martial law immediately. After all, the murderer of Feng...Old Master has not been found yet!" Luo Tingshan said lightly.
"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm the thief who killed my own father?" Master Feng Si was the first to object. He pointed at Luo Tingshan's nose and cursed, "You little brat, don't dare show your true face to others. I think you have ulterior motives!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at his brothers: "Why don't you send someone to arrest him and report him to the police!"
Master Feng did doubt this man's intentions, and his father's whereabouts had been strange in the past few days. It was said that he had met with this kid alone, which led to his death.
"Someone, report this to the police!" he shouted immediately, and at the same time sent someone to stop the fourth brother: "Just wait and don't go in and cause trouble!"
Master Feng Si was indignant and glared at Luo Tingshan fiercely. "It's all your fault, little brat! How dare you frame me out of thin air? Just wait, once you're in the prefectural jail, will you still be alive?"
The government officials arrived quickly, led by the Yangzhou prefect himself. They came forward with a smile to greet the Feng family and reminisce about the past.
As he was speaking, Master Feng Si pointed at Luo Tingshan and said, "It's him. He's a strong suspect. Your Excellency, you must find the murderer and avenge my father!"
"Hearing what you said, it seems as if Old Master Feng is already dead." Zhu Mingqing stood beside Luo Tingshan and looked at the four sons of the Feng family sarcastically. None of them was smart.
Everyone in Yangzhou City knew that they had just done a big business with the Feng family. It would be abnormal if they had no dealings with them. Moreover, they attacked in broad daylight and near the inn, which showed that they were planning to frame them.
During this period, the second and third masters did not speak, but Zhu Mingqing kept staring at them. Especially when they heard that the eldest master was going to report to the police, the expressions of these two masters were extremely interesting.
"Mrs. Ming?"
The Yangzhou prefect had no idea that the Feng family had reported to the authorities to arrest the Ming family. Now that he saw it, he realized it was really a coincidence. If he had known, he would not have come today.
After all, the entire Yangzhou city is now supported by Madam Ming alone.
He had only seen this kind of wealth and arrogance in one person, and that was the imperial court.
Moreover, according to the information he received, the Ming family really has a close relationship with the court. Maybe they really have the court's support behind them?
Although I don't know why a woman was sent here...
etc!
The Yangzhou prefect's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes fell on Luo Tingshan. Could it be that this man was the disguised court official, and Madam Ming was just a decoration in public?
I have to say that the Yangzhou prefect really has a big imagination.
But he still convinced himself.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Mingqing and Luo Tingshan was immediately filled with admiration!
The imperial court really didn’t give up on them!
Zhu Mingqing frowned slightly, feeling that this prefect was thinking about something strange in his mind!
"Oh, this is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. These are the Ming family. How could they attack Old Master Feng? In my opinion, there must be some hidden reason."
Without waiting for the Feng family to speak, the Yangzhou prefect said, "Don't worry, I will give the Feng family an explanation. For now, we must first protect Old Master Feng. As for those thieves, are there any survivors?"
At this moment, the short Master Feng Er suddenly spoke up, "Your Excellency the Prefect, I have just sent people to check, and no one is left alive!"
Master Feng San followed closely behind: "And those thieves didn't have any traces on their bodies. This is really..." He sighed deeply. Everyone knew that the clue was broken!
Zhu Mingqing said nothing. When the Yangzhou prefect came downstairs with a worried look on his face, she personally saw him off.
The Yangzhou prefect was about to get on his carriage when he heard a voice behind him calling out, "Sir!"
"What's the matter?" He turned around.
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "I have a gift for you, my Lord. Please keep it safe and don't open it until you arrive at the government office!"
The Yangzhou prefect looked at the unusually exquisite wooden box, which was emitting bursts of fragrance, and couldn't help but feel excited. He wanted to open it directly along the way, but after thinking about it, he restrained himself.
The first thing he did when he returned to the yamen was to ask everyone to leave the room. He sat behind the wooden table and opened the box with great anticipation.
The first time I saw it, I saw only a piece of paper, and my expression immediately turned ugly.
But when he opened it and saw the content, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Someone, go to the back alley!"
He put the note away, turned around and walked out the door, heading towards the back door of the yamen with a few officers and soldiers.
