Four hundred and fiftieth eight chapters instead of seventeen
Wei Xiaobao said: "Why are you going to see the Queen Mother in the middle of the night? I'd better go to see the Emperor early in the morning. I'm afraid someone will come to arrest you by now. Deputy Chief Rui, let me tell you, the guards are coming to arrest you.
You must not resist. If you resist arrest, it will be difficult to get rid of the charges."
The muscles on Ruidong's face couldn't help trembling, and he said angrily: "The Queen Mother said that you love to talk nonsense, and it is true. I have not committed any crime, why should I resist arrest? Just follow me to see the Queen Mother!"
Wei Xiaobao turned to one side and whispered: "Look, your captor is here!"
Ruidong's face changed greatly and he turned around to look. Wei Xiaobao turned around and rushed into the room. Ruidong turned around and saw no one behind him. Knowing that he had been tricked, he hurriedly chased into the room and reached out to grab Wei Xiaobao's back.
In fact, Wei Xiaobao's threats made Ruidong very panicked. If Wei Xiaobao insisted on seeing the emperor, Ruidong would probably not dare to stop him by force.
But there were two women hidden in Wei Xiaobao's room, one of whom was indeed an assassin from the imperial palace. The story had been revealed, and the Empress Dowager had just come to take his life in person. Who dared to go to the emperor to find out?
As soon as Ruidong turned around, he immediately ran into the room, hoping to escape through the window. He thought that there were rockeries and flowers everywhere in the imperial garden, and it would be difficult to catch them even if they hid in the dark. Unexpectedly, Ruidong was very agile, and Wei Xiaobao
As soon as he stepped into the door, he chased him in.
Wei Xiaobao rushed into the room, jumped up, and stepped onto the window sill. Just as he was about to jump, Ruidong slapped his right palm, and a strong wind hit his vest. Wei Xiaobao's legs buckled and he fell down.
Ruidong reached out with his left hand and grabbed him at the waist. Wei Xiaobao used his grappling technique and tried hard to get away with his palms, but he was so weak that he fell into a large water tank with a splash. This water tank was originally a sea.
It was used by the father-in-law to treat his injuries. After the death of the father-in-law, Wei Xiaobao did not ask anyone to take it out.
Ruidong laughed loudly, reached into the tank, but missed it. It turned out that Wei Xiaobao had shrunk into a ball. But how big the tank could be, so he grabbed him again, and finally grabbed him by the back of his collar, and lifted him up dripping wet.
.
Wei Xiaobao opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of water into Ruidong's eyes. Then he leaned forward and threw himself into his arms. He put his left hand around his head and neck. Ruidong yelled and shook a few times. He grabbed Wei Xiaobao's right hand behind his collar and slowly
loose.
His face was full of water, but his eyes were wide open. His face was full of confusion and panic. His throat rattled several times. He wanted to speak, but couldn't. He only heard a soft sneer, and a short sword came from
A long gash was cut straight down his chest to his lower abdomen.
Ruidong opened his eyes and looked at the dagger, but he didn't know where the sword came from. Blood spurted from his chest to his abdomen. Suddenly, his body fell backward until he died. He still didn't know what method Wei Xiaobao used to kill him.
own.
Wei Xiaobao let out a hey, took the dagger with his left hand, and stretched out his right hand from his robe. It turned out that he fell into the water tank, shrunk, had already pulled out the dagger, and hid it in his robe, with the blade facing outward.
He squirted water so hard that Ruidong couldn't open his eyes, and then he jumped forward and hugged him. This dagger, as sharp as iron, had pierced into his heart. If there was a real fight, even ten Wei Xiaobao might not be his opponent.
However, something unexpected happened in a hurry, and the famous Deputy Manager Rui was actually assassinated.
Fang Yi and Mu Jianping could clearly see how Wei Xiaobao and Ruidong rushed into the room and how Wei Xiaobao fell into the water tank through the tent. But Ruidong grabbed Wei Xiaobao out of the water tank and was killed immediately.
Fang Mu and Fang Mu couldn't figure out what method Wei Xiaobao used.
Wei Xiaobao wanted to brag a bit and said: "I...I...this...this..."
I heard my voice hoarse and I was speechless. I just escaped from death, but I was so frightened that I lost my mind.
Mu Jianping said: "Thank God, you...you actually killed this guy."
Fang Yi said: "This Ruidong, nicknamed 'Iron Palm Invincible', killed three of my brothers from Prince Mu's Mansion tonight. You have avenged us, very good, very good!"
Wei Xiaobao calmed down and said: "He is the 'Invincible Iron Palm', but he can't defeat me Wei... Gong Gui, my husband. I am a first-rate martial arts master, after all, it is different."
Wei Xiaobao reached into Ruidong's arms and took out a pamphlet filled with small characters and several official documents.
Wei Xiaobao didn't know it either, so he put it aside. Suddenly he felt something hard hidden on his lower back. He cut open the robe with a dagger and saw an oilcloth bundle. He said, "What kind of treasure is that? It's hidden like this."
good?"
Cut the silk strips on the bag and open the baggage. It turned out that it was wrapped with a book. The five words "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" were clearly written on the letter. The size and thickness of this sutra were exactly the same as those seen before, except that the cover was
Red silk trimmed with white.
Wei Xiaobao shouted: "Ah!"
Wei Xiaobao hurriedly reached into his arms and took out the "Forty-Two Chapter Sutra" stolen from Prince Kang's Mansion. Fortunately, he jumped into the water tank and immediately grabbed it for Ruidong. Only the outer cover of the letter was wet, but the pages were not wet.
.
The two scriptures were placed on the table. They were exactly the same except that one had a red silk cover and the other had a red silk border with white edges. So far, he had seen four volumes of the Forty-Two Chapters Sutra, and two of them were currently in the Empress Dowager's room.
In my hand, I have two.
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "There must be a lot of weird things in this scripture. It's a pity that I can't read. If I ask the princess and Miss Fang to read it, they will understand. But in this case, they will look down on me."
He opened the drawer and put in the two scriptures.
After hiding the scriptures, Wei Xiaobao thought: "The Queen Mother came to kill me just now. She was afraid that I would learn her secret and leak it out. Later, she sent Ruidong to kill me, but she randomly accused me of it and said that I
Lure the assassin into the palace.
She waited for a while, but when Ruidong didn't respond, she would send someone again. She had to act preemptively and report to the emperor immediately. After dawn, I escaped from the palace and never came back."
Wei Xiaobao said to Fang Yi: "I have to go out and spread rumors, saying that Ruidong is colluding with your Prince Mu's Mansion. He is so old... so old... Miss Fang (he originally wanted to call her "good wife", but the situation is urgent and there can be no more).
He was joking and missed something important, so he called her "Miss Fang" instead.)
What are you going to do when you come to the palace tonight? Do you want to assassinate the emperor? I advise you not to assassinate the young emperor. This old woman, the Queen Mother, is not a good thing. You should go and assassinate her specifically."
Fang Yi said: "Since you are one of our own, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Let's pretend to be the men of Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong and come to the palace to assassinate the emperor. It's good to succeed, otherwise, we can make the emperor angry.
Kill Wu Sangui."
Wei Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brilliant plan, brilliant plan! What method do you use to catch Wu Sangui?"
Fang Yi said: "We deliberately leave marks on our underwear. We belong to the subordinates of Prince Pingx's Palace. Some of the hidden weapons are also engraved with the words Prince Pingx's Palace. There are a few old weapons that are engraved with 'Daming Shanhaiguan General Military Palace'."
' the words."
Wei Xiaobao asked: "What are you doing?"
Fang Yi said: "Before Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he served as the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan in our Ming Dynasty."
Wei Xiaobao nodded and said: "This strategy is very powerful."
Fang Yi said: "When we enter the palace this time, someone must have died in battle, and the marks on the clothes will be noticed by the guards. If he is captured, he will not confess at first, but will only confess after being tortured to death.
Under the command of King Pingx, he came to assassinate the emperor.
As soon as we entered the palace, we dropped engraved weapons everywhere. Even if everyone is lucky enough to be able to retreat with the whole army, we have left evidence." She said excitedly, her breathing became faster, and a flush appeared on her cheeks.
Wei Xiaobao said: "Then you didn't come to the palace to save the little princess?"
Fang Yi said: "Of course not. We are not gods. How did we know that the little princess would be in the palace?"
Wei Xiaobao nodded and asked, "Do you have an engraved weapon by your side?"
Fang Yi said: "Yes!"
Fang Yi took out a long sword from the quilt, but his arms were weak and he could not lift the sword high.
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "Thankfully I didn't sleep next to you, otherwise I would have killed you with a sword."
Fang Yi's face turned red and she glared at him.
Wei Xiaobao took the sword and hid it in the waist of Ruidong's corpse, saying: "I'm going to file a complaint, saying that Ruidong is part of a group of assassins. Isn't this evidence?"
Fang Yi shook his head and said: "That is written as 'Da Ming Shan Customs General Military Mansion'. This Ruidong is a Manchurian. He will not work under the Daming Shan Customs General Military Mansion."
Wei Xiao Leninism said "Hmm", took back the sword, put it on the bed, and said: "What kind of stolen goods should I put on him?"
After a second thought, he said: "Yes!"
Wei Xiaobao stuffed the two strings of pearls, the pair of jade chickens, and the stack of gold tickets given by Wu Yingxiong into Ruidong's arms.
He knew that the gold ticket was issued by a gold shop in the capital. Wu Yingxiong sent someone to buy it. He only needed to check the gold shop number to know the source. This frame-up was perfect. He thought to himself: "Prince Wu, Crown Prince Wu
, I have to run away for my life, so I can’t help you anymore.”
He picked up Ruidong's body and was about to move it to the garden. He took only one step when he suddenly heard several people approaching outside the house.
He gently put the body down, and only heard one person say: "The emperor has ordered Xiao Guizi to go and serve him."
Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed and thought to himself: "I was worried that if I couldn't see the emperor tonight, something would happen again. Now the emperor comes and asks me to go, that wouldn't be better. Ruidong's body cannot be moved out. Ruidong's body cannot be moved out.
, but I can’t move out.”
Wei Xiaobao responded: "Yes, come out as soon as the slave gets dressed."
Then he gently pushed Ruidong's body under the bed, made a few gestures to the little princess and Fang Yi, telling them to lie down and stay still. He hurriedly took off his wet clothes and put on a set of clothes. Although the black silk cotton vest was also
It's wet, but it's not removed.
Just as he was about to go out, he thought: "This girl surnamed Fang is not very trustworthy, so don't steal my things."
Then he put the two "Forty-Two Chapter Sutra" and a large stack of banknotes in his arms, then put out the candle and left the room, but he forgot to bring the martial arts diagram given by his master.
