Chapter 137 Assassination Bureau

"New Year's goods are quite complete."

Mrs. Wei had always been the one who took care of all the household matters, so he didn't have anything to buy.

It's just that anyone would feel a little happier seeing such a lively scene.

The harvest festival reminded him of some things from his childhood.

His father went away to fight in the war, and his mother died early, so he had to live with his fifth uncle. He had poor food to eat and thin clothes to wear, but he managed to survive.

It snowed so heavily this year, I don’t know if they were freezing in the farm.

Thinking of this, he gave an instruction to the servant outside.

"When you return home later, buy some more New Year goods here and have them delivered to the farm for your fifth uncle's family."

"Yes, Duke."

Then he closed his eyes and staggered towards the palace.

But he didn't know that he had been secretly followed.

If there weren't so many people on the street at this moment, I'm afraid the other party would have taken action long ago.

Luo Yuan and Zheng Deli, who were also hiding in the dark, had serious expressions on their faces, staring at the carriage of the Duke's Mansion.

I breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing it safely drive out of Pingle Street.

Luo Yuan said in a low voice.

"Mrs. Wei looks so weak and gentle, but I never thought she would dare to hire someone to kill someone. If the women in the harem become vicious, we men will have no chance of survival."

"I wouldn't dare marry a woman like this, no matter how beautiful she is. Who knows if she can wake up after sleeping there?"

Zheng Deli's words were harsh, but his meaning was clear.

The two of them really looked down on Madam Wei, but they were a little impressed that Madam Jiao could actually find the killer. It seemed that she had done this kind of thing many times in the past, otherwise how could she be so familiar with it? The days of waiting were very difficult to endure.

But Luo Yuan and Zheng Deli were both from the Huben Army. Not to mention one day, even when they were ambushing in the mountains with Shang Ji, they had not moved for three or four days.

Therefore, it is not difficult for them.

As the sky gradually brightened, the snow stopped falling much.

It was a rare warm winter sun, and it made everyone feel a lot more comfortable.

There are more and more street vendors, and people are crowding in to buy New Year's goods.

When Luo Yuan counted to more than 4,600 people, the carriage of the Duke's Mansion appeared in front of everyone.

“Here I come.”

Zheng Deli reminded.

Luo Yuan also became focused and looked around, without moving at all.

In the carriage, Shang Yukuan was resting with his eyes closed.

The servant came to the street and saw that there were many people around, so he pulled the reins in his hand and turned around and said.

"Master, this place is completely blocked. Should we take a detour? Or continue on?"

Shang Yukuan didn't answer him, and the servant felt a little strange.

Just as he was about to lift the curtain to ask another question, a sharp arrow brushed past his cheek and shot towards Shang Yukuan.

With a puff, it hit his left arm.

The pain made Shang Yukuan wake up immediately and let out an "ah!". The miserable crowd became anxious and restless.

I don't know who shouted, "Murder!"

All of a sudden, the originally happy people ran around like a swarm of mad bees.

Under such circumstances, the horses would naturally be frightened.

The originally gentle horse suddenly went crazy and started running away. The servant didn't hold the reins firmly and was thrown off.

Duke Shang Yukuan, who was sitting in the carriage, wailed in pain while holding his shot arm.

The carriage was running forward madly, causing him to lose his balance and hit his head against the wooden window on the side, causing him to bleed instantly.

The world was spinning in my head, and I had no idea what had happened to me, how could I be stabbed in the street in broad daylight?

Unfortunately, Shang Yukuan had no chance to think about this at the moment. He stumbled around in the carriage and suffered a lot of new injuries.

Luo Yuan looked at the carriage and horses running around madly, trampling and injuring several people, and immediately became restless.

But before he could open his mouth, Zheng Deli waved his hand calmly, and the soldiers hiding in the dark showed up.

Those who want to arrest people will be arrested, and those who want to stop cars will be stopped.

Even though the scene was chaotic, it did not affect them at all.

One of them leaped onto the horse's back and pulled the reins frantically in an attempt to stop the carriage.

But the horse seemed to have been drugged and could not be stopped at all.

Seeing that if the horse continued to run like crazy, it would cause a disaster, the man made a quick decision and slapped the horse on the head with all his strength.

At the same time, he jumped down with the injured Duke.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The horse was badly injured, neighed, staggered a few steps, and no longer moved forward at a high speed.

However, the Duke was in severe condition at the moment.

I was so dizzy that I only had time to say one sentence.

"Thank you, brave man..., I..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of uniform footsteps coming from not far away. From the looks of their attire, he knew they were people from the Gyeonggi-do Office.

The safety of Sui'an City is their responsibility, so there are people patrolling everywhere.

Once there was chaos in Pingle Street, people from the Jingjisi would naturally come quickly.

Seeing people coming, the soldier dodged and hid in the crowd, disappearing without a trace.

But not far away, someone shouted.

"Help! Someone is killing me."

A man wearing coarse linen clothes was thrown out with a bow and arrow in his hand. It was obvious at a glance that he was the person who had just assassinated Shang Yukuan.

The people from the Gyeonggi Prefecture came forward and surrounded him. Seeing that the situation was not right, the man wanted to escape, but for some reason, he suddenly lost his strength.

The limp one was tied up.

Only at this moment did he secretly cry out that it was not good. If he was accused of assassinating the Duke, he would be in big trouble.

On the other side, Shang Yukuan also fainted due to "serious injuries".

The servant was in great pain, but when he saw the commander of the Jingji Division, he immediately stepped forward and asked for help.

"Sir, help! Someone is trying to assassinate the Duke!"

Hearing this, the commander's eyes became alert.

Under the feet of the emperor, in the imperial city, is there anyone who is so fearless of death? He immediately gave the order.

"Quick, block this street and don't let any suspicious people escape. Send more people to look for the Duke!"

"yes!"

Regardless of other things, his immediate superior is a member of the Wei family, and the Duke's Mansion is related to the Wei family by marriage. If he fails to do this job well, he will probably have no hope of promotion in the future.

So, I became nervous too.

Fortunately, the place where Shang Yukuan fainted was just a few hundred meters away.

After searching for a while, the Duke was found and the murderer was caught.

The commander felt that this matter was going too smoothly, and was wondering if someone was behind this, when he heard what his subordinates said.

"The Duke has fainted, and his body is covered in blood."
