Tie Zhu led a few people to wait on the small boat at the pier. However, the calmness of these days inevitably made people relax their vigilance. But when they turned around, they never expected that this shocking incident would happen.

First, Lin Fu rolled down the wooden ladder with an assassin in his arms, but the crisis was not resolved. Another assassin pounced on Lin Haoran with a sharp knife, making everyone's hearts suddenly hang in their throats.

Fortunately, Lin Haoran did not stand there stupidly, but dodged and avoided the assassin's sharpest stab. However, just as Tie Zhu's heart was relieved, Lin Haoran was still scratched by the assassin's backhand.

"You dare!"

Tie Zhu gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, then jumped onto the pier from the boat with a few guards. However, Chen Jing had already dealt with the assassin, while another assassin stabbed Lin Fu and fled towards the other side.

The shipowner and the domestic slaves who were either kneeling or standing at the wooden ladder and dock just now were panicked when they encountered this incident. Some people stepped forward to do something, while others wanted to escape from here.

"Everyone bows his head and kneels down, otherwise he will be killed without mercy!"

Seeing this chaotic situation, Tie Zhu immediately drew his sword and shouted at the chaotic boatman and domestic slaves.

He didn't know how many assassins there were and whether there were any assassins hidden among these people. Now, the only way to calm down the chaos here was to ensure that Lin Haoran would not be assassinated a second time.

When the boatmen and domestic slaves who were about to flee heard this warning, they hesitated and squatted down. One disobedient person was also forced to the ground by the guards.

The assassin is not scary. What is scary is that the assassin hid in the dark and took the opportunity to assassinate Lin Haoran a second time.

Chen Jing pulled out the Xiuchun Knife from the assassin's body. Blood immediately splashed all over his face, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. He stepped forward nervously and asked, "Mr. Lin, how are you?"

Lin Haoran's right arm was slashed, and he fell down on the wooden ladder. At this time, he stood up from the ladder, covered the wound, shook his head slightly and said, "I'm fine!"

Just facing such a thrilling scene made him feel raging with anger.

Although he knew that the rectification of Yangzhou's salt policy would inevitably touch the interests of some people, and would even be counterattacked by groups that had benefited from the Lianghuai salt policy like Yan Song. But he never expected that this group of people would dare to commit an assassination

to him.

He followed Chen Yinshan, the magistrate of Huating, but it was different. Not only was his official position far superior to that of the other party, but he also had a dignified status as an imperial envoy. However, this group of people still killed him.

"Disrespectful duty!" Chen Jing saw the wound on Lin Haoran's arm and felt Lin Haoran's anger, so he handed over his hand and apologized.

This is indeed the case. If he had been more vigilant, there would have been no opportunity for the assassin to take advantage of him. It was only the calmness of these days and the indifference to local forces that allowed the assassin to take advantage of him.

"grown ups!"

Tie Zhu led several people and ran up. He also noticed that Lin Haoran's arm was injured and said apologetically.

Lin Haoran let go of the hand covering his arm, looked at the bright red blood on his palm, waved to the Tie Zhu people in front of him, and the people in front of him moved out of the way.

In order to protect Lin Haoran, Lin Fu rolled down with the assassin in his arms and was stabbed in the abdomen. However, compared with Lin Haoran's safety, his life and death naturally did not matter.

At this time, one hand was tightly covering his stomach. When he saw Lin Haoran walking down from the wooden building, he seemed to be secretly relieved and asked with concern: "Uncle Nineteen, are you okay?"

Lin Haoran saw that he had just fought so hard to protect him, and was slightly moved in his heart. He even loudly ordered: "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Go and call the doctor, call the doctor over!"

Then he said to a tribesman next to him who was at a loss: "Quickly find some clean cloths, find a way to help Ah Fu stop the bleeding, and use a carriage to send him back to the city for treatment as soon as possible!"

After receiving the instruction, several people got busy and began to treat Lin Fu.

Lin Haoran saw Lin Fu's face turning pale, but he still looked at his arm worriedly, and said calmly: "I'm fine! Don't move, you'll be fine!"

"Yeah!" Lin Fu saw Lin Haoran's arm was injured and still cared about him so much. He was slightly moved in his heart. He endured the pain in his belly and nodded seriously.

Lin Haoran was worried about Lin Fu, but he knew that there was only so much he could do now. He looked up at the other side of the river, and saw that a group of government officials were already chasing him.

But he was still worried, and with a flash of determination in his eyes, he ordered: "Tie Zhu, take a few people to chase the assassin. I want... to live!"

"yes!"

Tie Zhu knew that this matter was very important, but he did not lead the people to chase towards the lake. Instead, he ran up the wooden ladder and planned to ride on horseback to chase the assassin.

All the movements here fell into the eyes of those who painted the boat, but they looked at the situation with different expressions.

The scene there has been brought under control. One assassin was killed, another escaped, a guard was stabbed to death, and the dignified imperial envoy was also injured in the arm.

Just seeing that Lin Haoran's arm was injured, everyone still took a breath of air. If the imperial envoy hadn't stayed calm and dodged in the face of danger, what happened today would have shocked the entire Ming Dynasty.

Chen Boren and others looked at this scene and were equally shocked, but they couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If the assassin succeeds, although it will cause some trouble, the current situation is better. After all, the chief minister of the dynasty is still protecting them, and the next imperial envoy is more likely to be Dong Fen and his ilk.

However, the reality is not satisfactory after all. The imperial envoy escaped this assassination, which has completely angered this powerful imperial envoy.

"Quick, quick, come closer!"

Yangzhou Tongzhi Cao Tengfei and other officials ran to the bow of the ship and directed the boatmen to row the flower boat slowly toward the small pier.

Now that they saw the imperial envoy being assassinated, they had already forgotten about the Oiran Competition. They just wanted to say hello to the imperial envoy to express their concern for the imperial envoy and at the same time to condemn the assassin.

Lin Haoran arranged for people to take Lin Fu back to the city in a carriage, and the doctor he found bandaged his arm, and then he boarded the flower boat directly. His injury was not serious in fact, it was mainly due to his hatred of the people behind the scenes.

, feeling angry at the forces hiding in the dark.

"This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish me, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"
