Cao Shixin returned to Yingtian and reunited with Wu Shique. This was the cooperation between the two after many years. In the later years of Hongwu, because Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang killed many of the founding heroes, Cao Shixin and Wu Shique went around to save the descendants of famous officials. Among them

There were many accidents that are not obvious to outsiders. From the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the Hongwu period, the Assassin family had extremely close ties. This was probably the busiest generation of Assassin family members since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Cao Shixin patted the dirt on his boots, stepped into the wine shop where they had secretly arranged a meeting, looked around, and was slightly startled.

Surprisingly, in addition to Wu Shique waiting, there was another person sitting at the same seat, that person was Huang Zicheng. When they saw Cao Shixin coming in, they both stood up.

Huang Zicheng was one of the three ministers who took care of life left by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty to Emperor Jianwen. The other two were Fang Xiaoru and Qi Tai.

Cao Shixin didn't know why Huang Zicheng appeared. He hesitated for a moment, but still pulled out his chair and sat down without moving.

After Fang sat down, Huang Zicheng said urgently, "Where is the Emperor? Is it safe?"

Cao Shixin said nothing, quietly patting the dust on his body, deliberately neglecting Huang Zicheng. Among Emperor Jianwen's three ministers who cared about life, Cao Shixin despised Huang Zicheng the most. In his opinion, the biggest one was that Emperor Jianwen would reach this stage.

The responsibility lies with Huang Zicheng, so he is reluctant to deal with this person.

When Huang Zicheng saw that Cao Shi was ignoring him, he rubbed his nose and could not say anything. Although he was a first-class minister, the King of Yan had proclaimed himself emperor. His life as a minister was in danger, not to mention that he could be saved.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wu Shique had no choice but to smooth things over and said, "I also told Mr. Huang that we cannot know about this matter. Once we know, all our efforts will be wasted."

"I don't want to know where he is, I want to know if he is okay?" Huang Zicheng hurriedly pulled Wu Shique to defend himself.

Cao Shixin looked down on these scholar-bureaucrats. He had read the Four Books and Five Classics, and it would be great if he really wanted to be the top scholar, but he had no intention of becoming an official. Most of the members of the Assassin family had a long history, and their families were all well-off. They were all local tyrants. In terms of money,

There is no need to worry about it. Therefore, the Assassin family mostly pursues the inheritance of fame and martial arts through their achievements in the family. Few members of the Assassin family enter the court as officials or serve as military generals.

Cao Shixin signaled everyone to stop talking, took a dip in tea, wrote the word "Jinyiwei" on the table, and then motioned to the guests at the surrounding tables with his eyes.

"What?" Huang Zicheng didn't understand why Cao Shixin said that.

But when he saw these three words, Wu Shique raised his eyes and his face changed drastically. Wu Shique wrote: "All?" Cao Shixin nodded slightly.

"What should we do?" Huang Zicheng rubbed his hands anxiously.

Cao Shixin thought to himself, "You are such a pustule. You are so timid in times of trouble that you actually encouraged Emperor Jianwen to release King Yan's three sons and send troops to attack King Yan. You are really without courage, strategy, and nothing. If you are really loyal to Jianwen,

Emperor Wen, this man should be like Fang Xiaoru, generous in his righteousness, and willing to die to apologize."

Wu Shique calmed down and wrote three words: "Type out."

Cao Shixin shook his head and wrote: "Little Bian'an is fragrant." Then he wrote: "Take the antidote first."

Cao Shixin took out a small bottle. This small bottle of Higanxiang was borrowed from the Ji family in advance during this mission. Unexpectedly, it came in handy.

The three people spoke for themselves and quickly said the follow-up actions. Cao Shixin opened the vial and gave everyone a sniff. Huang Zicheng was very surprised that he could detoxify with just one smell, but Cao Shixin had no intention of answering and put his hand into his arms.

He took out a stick of incense and lit it with the oil lamp on the table. A puff of green smoke floated out, and everyone who smelled it fell to the ground. In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire restaurant, including the other guests and the waiter, fell to the ground.

Seeing everyone fall to the ground, Cao Shixin and Wu Shique stood up. Huang Zicheng asked in surprise: "All dead?"
