Bede was wearing ordinary clothes, with a gloomy expression and a look of madness in his eyes.
At this moment, Bede was already a man without a title, and was really relegated to an ordinary person. Because of Li Zhen's incident, he implicated his father, and the family was also affected. Because of this, Bede had no face to see his parents, no face. Staying at home, I have moved out of the house and found a small house to live in, alone and quietly.
Mrs. Du has not come back for several days and has been staying at her parents' house, and Bede has no shame to pick her up.
He sat in the yard, holding a needle in his right hand and a rag doll in his left hand. He kept pricking the needle and muttered intermittently: "Li Zhen, I will never let you go. Ever since I was born, I have been I have never suffered such humiliation. Now I have lost my title, lost my face, and my woman will not come back. It is all your fault. I will not stop until I kill you."
At this time, Bede was extremely crazy and even a little unconscious. He threw away the needle in his hand, kneaded the rag doll that represented Li Zhen, and vented the anger in his heart.
"Master, there is news."
Outside the yard, a young man in his early teens rushed in with a happy expression on his face.
The young man's name is Du Yuan, and he is Beide's personal attendant.
Bede asked: "What news?"
Du Yuan danced and said happily: "It's about Li Zhen."
"Snapped."
Beide was angry in his heart. When he saw Du Yuan's joy, he became so angry that he slapped Du Yuan on the face. He also knew that it was not appropriate to beat Du Yuan casually like this, so he found an excuse and shouted angrily. : "Won't you finish it all at once? Come on, explain the whole thing in detail and don't let it get out of hand."
Du Yuan covered his face, feeling extremely sad.
He stood with his back hunched respectfully and said honestly: "The villain has just received the news. Li Zhen has obtained the emperor's imperial edict. He will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning and return to Guangzhou to mobilize soldiers. Then he will go north to Yangzhou to establish the Jiangbei camp and start the suppression campaign. bandit."
Bede exclaimed: "Impossible, how could Li Zhen leave Beijing so quickly."
Du Yuan said: "Sir, it's a good thing that Li Zhen left Beijing."
"Snapped."
When Bede heard this, he slapped him again.
This time, Bede slapped the other side of Du Yuan's face, and shouted loudly again: "What a fart, if Li Zhen leaves Beijing, who can I ask to avenge the humiliation I suffered? Such a big thing This incident will never be forgotten by me forever. This time, we must let Li Zhen know how powerful I am so that he can never come back and find it difficult to return to Guangzhou."
Du Yuan persuaded: "Sir, your confrontation with Li Zhen has turned into what you are now. If you continue, I'm afraid..." Just halfway through speaking, Du Yuan and Beide waved his hands, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly backed away. step.
Bede snorted, raised his hand and said, "Du Yuan, come here immediately."
"Master, don't hit me." Du Yuan said.
Bede shook his head and said: "If I don't beat you anymore, the young master will still expect you to go out and do things."
Du Yuan took a step forward doubtfully, bowed and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
There was a hint of coldness in the corner of Beide's mouth. He took a step forward, raised his right hand, and then punched out. There was only a snap sound, and the fist hit Du Yuan's eyes. In an instant, Du Yuan's eyes were filled with blood, and his eye sockets were also filled with blood. It became red and swollen, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Bede, or even showing a trace of dissatisfaction, because he was a slave in the house and could only stay in the house for the rest of his life.
Du Yuan whispered: "Sir, what are your orders?"
Bede snorted and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know where I can hire an assassin?"
Du Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Bede waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you, there is a manor outside the western suburbs of Beijing. This manor is where the assassins gather. When you go there, tell me your name directly, and then use 50,000 To buy Li Zhen's head for two taels of silver, you first bring 20,000 taels of silver as a down payment. After it is confirmed that Li Zhen was killed, I will give you the remaining 30,000 taels of silver. Only you are allowed to know about this matter, and no one else is allowed to know. If it's leaked, you won't be able to survive."
Du Yuan knew the seriousness of the matter, felt embarrassed in his heart, and said seriously: "Master, I can't help it. If the news is leaked, the family will be implicated, and you will also be punished."
Bede said: "If you don't tell, who will know."
Du Yuan sighed and said, "Sir, there is no airtight wall in the world. You should think twice."
Bede was indignant and roared: "Think twice, think twice, I stay in the yard every day and think about something. What I think about is how to kill Li Zhen. As long as Li Zhen dies, Yi and others can't do it for a dead person." I'm at odds with my father-in-law. Besides, the order you placed is only known to you and the person who executed it. It's impossible for anyone else to know that I ordered someone to assassinate Li Zhen. What's more, God knows that you know that I know about it. Nothing else will happen."
Du Yuan scratched his head, still wanting to persuade,
However, when he saw Bede's fierce eyes and clenched fists, he could only do what Bede wanted. Du Yuan nodded in agreement, took the 20,000 taels of silver from Bede, and quietly headed towards the western suburbs of Beijing. Go, when he came to the manor, he followed the instructions given by Bede and entered smoothly.
Du Yuan was led to a room and sat down, waiting slowly.
Not long after, the door opened and a middle-aged man walked in. The middle-aged man looked at Du Yuan and said with a smile: "Follow the old rules, tell me who you are going to kill."
Du Yuan said: "Li Zhen."
"Li Zhen."
The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said: "Assassinating Li Zhen is not a simple matter. He is very popular and has the emperor's favor. If you kill Li Zhen, you will definitely be traced. But everything has two sides. If you If we can afford the price, we can naturally take action; if we cannot afford the price, we cannot accept the transaction."
Du Yuan said: "The fixed price is fifty thousand taels of silver."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "It's too low, no way."
Du Yuan shrugged and said, "In this case, I can only find someone else and say goodbye."
He stood up, turned around and walked outside.
As he approached the door, the middle-aged man said: "Wait a minute, we have accepted the fifty thousand taels of silver. However, we must first pay twenty thousand taels of silver as a deposit. I also need to confirm who placed the order, otherwise I will kill someone." , but I don’t know who placed the order and who will pay when the time comes. If you default on the bill, won’t I suffer a huge loss?”
Du Yuan hesitated for a moment and said: "The person who placed the order is Master Beide, the son-in-law of Lord Du Han."
A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, he nodded, and said: "Okay, give me some money first, and then wait for my good news. I will definitely get it."
Du Yuan paid the money, stopped staying, and turned around to leave.
However, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
This time, someone is looking for someone to assassinate Li Zhen. The matter has already caused a big fuss. If Li Zhen can be killed, it will be difficult to trace the matter. If the emperor really wants to conduct a thorough investigation, the news will definitely be leaked, and it will be difficult to deal with it then. , but Du Yuan also knew that Bede had lost his mind and would not consider other things.
