Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 420 Assassination
The team walked slowly along the official road, and the people followed for a while. Some of them could not walk anymore and left first, but some did not give up and still followed closely, just wanting to catch a glimpse of the princess's true appearance.
"The one on the left carrying firewood, the one wearing a straw hat, the one carrying a vegetable basket, the one carrying a basket..."
Zhang Chunhua counted the civilians on the left and said to Zhang Mo, "Princess, everyone carrying something seems suspicious to me!"
Zhang Mo said, "The best weapon for assassination is a crossbow. In order to hide the weapon, of course you need to bring something to cover it up."
She glanced out the window and asked, "Where are we now?"
"We've already passed the Lishui Pavilion!"
"Well, that's about it. If we continue walking, there will be fewer and fewer people following us, and it will be difficult to take action."
Zhang Chunhua knew that when she said it was not easy to take action, she was not referring to the assassins, but to her own people who had long been mixed among the people. However, the assassins must be unable to wait any longer.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, someone in the crowd outside shouted "Long live the princess!", and then more and more people followed suit. The fields were filled with the people's admiration for the princess. At this time, they had no choice but to get off the car.
"Princess, are you getting off now?"
Outside the carriage, Xu Chu leaned close to the window and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Mo straightened her posture and asked, "How many suspicious people are there on the right?"
"So many, and they might not be the same batch!"
"Go ahead, capture all the suspicious people alive!"
"understand!"
Xu Chu responded and signaled the convoy to stop. He rode his horse two steps forward and blocked the right side of the door. This position was just right for him to see the crowds on both sides at the same time.
The noisy shouting outside also stopped. Everyone was staring at the carriage door. Someone in the back was invisible and was pushing to the front. The crowd was a little chaotic. The guards on both sides immediately stepped forward to block the people who wanted to squeeze in. The young man, tall man, young woman, fair-skinned man and others who were sent into the crowd by Zhang Mo to act as supporters also took advantage of the pushing and shoving to squeeze behind the suspicious people.
Xu Chu glanced around the crowd and saw that everyone was in their positions. He raised his right hand and waved it in front of his eyes, seemingly swatting a flying insect, but actually giving orders to everyone.
Seeing his action, the young man standing behind Ying Er revealed a silver needle soaked in sleeping pills from his sleeve. With the help of the crowd's pushing, he pushed his body forward, and the silver needle accurately pierced Ying Er's Mingmen acupoint between the second and third lumbar spinous processes. Ying Er felt a slight pain in his back, thinking that someone had accidentally bumped into him, and did not take it seriously.
Moreover, as a professional killer, he could not afford to be distracted at this most critical moment. He stared at the carriage door and reached into the basket with his right hand to touch the crossbow.
Seeing the car door open, Ying Er had already grasped the crossbow and adjusted his position. As long as the target appeared, he could complete the task successfully in just a short moment.
However, at this moment, Ying Er suddenly felt a little dizzy. He blinked, and the figure he saw in front of him became double. Realizing that he had capsized, Ying Er pulled out a dagger and wanted to commit suicide. The next second, he was hit hard on the neck again, and he collapsed completely to the ground.
The same thing happened to other people who might have been carrying crossbows. Even the bearded man who had received the news and rushed over from the grove behind was not spared. The moment he was knocked down, his eyes were full of shock. He had been on countless missions in the past ten years, but this was the first time that he was knocked down by the target before he even made a move, and almost all of his team was wiped out. What was even more hateful was that he had not noticed in advance that there were officers and soldiers mixed in the crowd.
This is not an assassination, it's simply walking into a trap!
Before fainting, he subconsciously looked at the only female member of the organization, Shayi. Seeing that she had not been discovered, the bearded man finally felt better.
More than thirty people were knocked down in the crowd at once. The people who didn't know what was going on became a little panicked and started pushing and shoving each other. Xu Chu ordered the soldiers to carry the assassins over and search them. Except for a few people who were arrested by mistake, all the others had crossbows or short blades hidden in the baskets, baskets and firewood they carried.
Seeing this, the people were immediately frightened out of their wits and kneeled on the ground, not daring to move. The fish that had escaped the net, Sha Yi, was slightly surprised, then knelt in the crowd. She held the swaddling clothes with her left hand and put her right hand inside, seemingly comforting the baby, but actually pulling the mechanism of the crossbow. This was her best killing method. As long as the target appeared in the right position, she could accurately shoot the arrow without drawing the crossbow.
The carriage door opened, but Zhang Mo didn't get out immediately. Xu Chu came over and said, "Princess, judging by the crossbows used by the assassins, they are probably not the same group, but three different organizations."
"Well, the jaw has been removed. Take him back and interrogate him slowly!"
Xu Chu was troubled and said, "How can I interrogate him if he can't even speak clearly after his jaw is removed?"
Zhang Mo glanced at the group of people who were tied up like dumplings and said, "Judging from the fact that they wanted to commit suicide after being drugged, most of them are either professional killers or family assassins. I guess no matter how much we torture them, we won't be able to find out who is behind this. Besides, the killers don't necessarily know who their employers are.
Go back and identify the killers first. Find out which organization they belong to, then send someone as a guest to the other leader, claiming they're looking for a big deal. As for the assassins, torture them if possible, but if that doesn't work, just deal with them. Then, have each county re-investigate the divided family assets. If any family has recently spent a fortune without justification, arrest them directly for hired murder."
After listening to this, Xu Chu was filled with admiration. This time, the families were split up and the property was redistributed. The government knew exactly how much wealth each family had. Whoever drained the remaining wealth and couldn't give a reason, wouldn't it be the employer?
"What will happen after we find the killer organization? What kind of business does the princess want to discuss with them?" Xu Chu asked again.
Zhang Mo said, "Let's see if we can support these gangsters!"
"Support?" Xu Chu was stunned for a moment and then understood what she meant. She wanted to be the only employer of the underworld.
Zhang Mo stood up and prepared to get out of the car, but Zhang Chunhua held her back and said, "I wonder if there are any fish that have slipped through the net. Princess, please don't get off."
"Since we're inspecting the spring plowing work, how can we stay in the car all the time?" She patted Chunhua's hand soothingly, her eyes sweeping through the crowd, lingering for a moment on the woman holding the swaddling baby. She said, "Anyone who might have a weapon has been apprehended. Nothing will happen, don't worry!"
Holding Zhang Chunhua's hand, Zhang Mo stepped down from the carriage and raised her hand slightly towards the people. "Everyone, please stand up quickly. I left the city today just to check on everyone's spring plowing arrangements and to see if everyone has received their share of land. I didn't expect to attract so many assassins right after leaving the city. I frightened everyone!"
Her tone was very kind, and everyone's frightened hearts calmed down a little. They looked up quietly and saw that she was wearing a lotus pink skirt and fluttering clothes, just like a fairy descending to the earth. Everyone shouted "Long live the princess" again, and then stood up one after another.
At this moment, something strange happened. A sharp arrow with a cold glow suddenly shot out from the crowd. Before anyone could react, the sharp arrow had already pierced the left side of Zhang Mo's heart.
"Amo..."
"princess……"
Xu Chu was filled with shock and anger, and roared like a tiger. Zhang Chunhua and Yan Bing also screamed in surprise and supported her body which was leaning back. Xu Chu ran over in two steps, and saw a blood flower quickly blooming on her chest, which was particularly dazzling against the lotus pink skirt.
"Amo, Amo..." Xu Chu was so frightened that he was at a loss for words. However, Zhang Chunhua was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting and shouting, "Catch the woman holding the baby!"
In fact, there was no need to give any orders. After the accident, the guards who had come to their senses had already rushed over to catch the person. However, Sha Yi was very agile. The moment the arrow was shot, she turned around and squeezed out of the crowd. The guards were blocked by the rioting crowd. When they chased after her, the person had already escaped into the woods not far away and disappeared.
