The news that Du Qi was going to lead his troops to leave Yongye County and go to Pandu County had already spread. Conspiratorial people like Duan Long and Xin Baiqing are already preparing and looking forward to Du Qi's departure.
They knew how powerful Du Qi was.
Dare not deal with Du Qi.
So the current plan is to take down Zeng Cheng and replace him with someone who is willing to cooperate with them.
This day, in the morning.
Du Qi led Mo Ledo's army, left Yongye County in a mighty way, and began to head towards Pandu County. After Du Qi and his group left, Zeng Cheng stayed in the county government office, and he didn't dare to go out again.
Because there is a risk now.
Now, he is staying in the county office steadily, waiting for the ghosts and monsters to come out.
Best, nothing.
No one came out to seek death.
No one came out to rebel.
But if someone really wants to come out to seek death, Zeng Cheng will not be soft.
When Zeng Cheng stayed in the county government, a middle-aged man in his thirties was drinking in a restaurant in the south of the city.
He sat casually, wearing a bamboo hat, and placed an iron sword on the table, giving the feeling that no one should enter.
This person's name is Xue Tong.
It's a ranger who hangs around in Yongye County.
Although Xue Tong himself is not particularly powerful, he likes money. As long as he is given money, he is willing to take on the task.
Regardless of the task, he is willing to give it a try.
Today, Xue Tong accepted the task of assassinating Zeng Cheng, which was quite difficult. It's just that Xue Tong needs money, so he still accepts the task. After drinking a pot of wine, Xue Tong put the wine money on the table, grabbed the sword on the desk, and left.
Xue Tong wandered around the city, and gradually approached the county government.
Xue Tong knew that this assassination was very dangerous.
If you don't pay attention, you may face a life-and-death crisis.
If you don't pay attention, you may be killed.
However, it is naturally impossible to go back on the matter of collecting money. So when Xue Tong arrived outside the county office, he put away all his hesitation, found a corner, and turned over to enter.
He is no stranger to such a house.
In fact, he had been to areas like the county government in the early years, so Xue Tong knew the situation.
He passed through several backyards, and came outside the study in the backyard.
Xue Tong stared at the study. For some reason, he suddenly felt worried, and his heart throbbed even more. He always felt that there was some danger in the study.
It's just that Xue Tong has already accepted the task at the moment, and the arrow is on the string, and it is impossible to take it back, so he paused for a while, and then stepped forward. When he reached the outside of the study, he opened the door and entered directly.
In the study, Xue Tong saw Zeng Cheng.
He knew Zeng Cheng.
?After all, Zeng Cheng has served as the magistrate of Yongye County for many years. Zeng Cheng has been around all over the world and knows Zeng Cheng's appearance.
Zeng Cheng saw Xue Tong who broke in, and said, "Who is your Excellency? Why, force your way into my study."
Tong Xue: "Magistrate Zeng, I will kill you."
Zeng Cheng said: "You want to kill me, but you just want to kill me, but it is not an easy and simple matter. But I am curious, who ordered you to kill me?"
Xue Tong said: "This is a secret, you can't tell it."
Zeng Cheng said: "For the sake of being dead, can't you say anything?"
Tong Xue said: "I can't say."
Zeng Cheng sighed and said, "Oh, it's a pity. That's all, you can do it."
Xue Tong raised his eyebrows, and there was even more doubt and incomprehension between his brows. Because he didn't expect that Zeng Cheng didn't even struggle, didn't even refute, and didn't even run away.
This surprised Xue Tong very much.
The corner of Zeng Cheng's mouth curled up into a smile, and he said, "Why, I think it's strange that I don't hide or escape, and I'm very suspicious in my heart, I think it's inappropriate, right?"
"yes!"
Xue Tong replied.
After a pause, Xue Tong continued: "However, it is meaningless to play tricks like this. Magistrate Zeng, in front of me, these methods are useless."
Zeng Cheng said: "Since you are sure, my methods are useless. Why, instead of taking action directly, instead of probing with words, are you still hesitating?"
"You're just unsure."
"I have worries in my heart."
"So, don't make a move for now,Still waiting and watching. "
Zeng Cheng said: "I can tell you with certainty that as long as you dare to make a move, you will definitely die today. Because as long as you step into the study, you are already in trouble. Why did you leave Yongye County? , just to wait for you to throw yourself into the trap. This time, I left just to target people with ulterior motives."
"Hiss!!"
Xue Tong took a breath.
He looked around.
Seeing Xue Tong's appearance, Zeng Cheng stopped playing around in circles.
He clapped his palms lightly.
Along with the applause, two guards came out from behind the screens on both sides of the study. In addition, another soldier entered the study directly and surrounded Xue Tong.
Zeng Cheng said in a deep voice: "Xue Tong, you may be outstanding in martial arts and proficient in assassination methods. But these people of mine are also elites. They are extremely powerful. I can guarantee that as long as you make a move, you will definitely die. "
Xue Tong frowned.
I got it right!
How to do it?
Either continue to assassinate Zeng Cheng, or prepare to break out and evacuate now.
Zeng Cheng said: "Do you want to break through now? Impossible. Apart from the people in my study, the county government still has a huge net. The trap I set up with the young master this time is to eliminate hidden dangers in the city. Because of Fushan The county has learned from the past, no one dares to deal with the young master right now, so they can only deal with me."
"Right now, it's not so easy for you to deal with me."
"Or, it's impossible."
Zeng Cheng said: "You lay down your weapons now and surrender directly. I can assure you that your life will be spared. If you insist on resisting, the end result will be death without a whole body. In addition, this official will offer rewards to the people. See who knows you. If your identity is investigated, your family, relatives and friends will all be affected."
Xue Tong said: "The assassination is my business alone, why should other people be involved?"
Zeng Cheng said: "If you assassinate me, that is a rebellion. Is the big thing of rebellion a small thing? Let me give you a simple example. If you assassinate me, will my family be spared?"
"Impossible, they will be affected."
"Even being killed."
"In short, none of my family can survive."
Zeng Cheng talked eloquently, and continued: "So at this moment, since you want to assassinate me. Moreover, you are unwilling to cooperate. Under such circumstances, why should I ask this officer to give up and not pursue your family members? ?¡±
brush!
Xue Tong's complexion changed slightly.
He is a knight-errant who actually has no father, no mother, and no relatives.
However, he has someone he cares about.
What Tong Xue cared about was a group of orphans. When he was young, he was an orphan, and he was taken in by a good family, which made him what he is today. So when Xue Tong himself grew up, he used all his money to take in orphans, and he took in more than ten children.
One and a half-year-old children are growing up and eating a lot.
It takes a lot of money.
Once Xue Tong died, no one would take care of these people, not to mention, it would even cause these children to be implicated, so Xue Tong hesitated in his heart.
Zeng Cheng is also a county magistrate. He has served as county magistrate for many years, and he can read words and demeanor. When he sees Xue Tong's expression of hesitation, and the expression on Xue Tong's face, he immediately understands it.
This assassin is someone who cares.
This is a breakthrough to make the other party obey the arrangement, let the other party obediently obey, and tell the instigator behind the scenes. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
