Chapter 291 Assassination

The one-eyed old lady came over. Before the bandits came, business was not easy to do. Henan Province had been suffering from severe droughts for years, and the people could not eat enough, and how many people could afford to drink tea. Those who could visit teahouses were all wealthy businessmen. The business was difficult, so they could barely make a living.

After the bandits came, business became more difficult to do. Lu's county was already looted, and no one was interested in coming out to have tea. Merchants from all over the country dared not come, and business became more light.

Finally, I met Zhan Yunpeng and his group, and the one-eyed old lady was more respectful.

The residents here must be very familiar with Lushi County. The quickest way to get out is silver. Ling Tianyang took out a ingot of broken silver from his arms and threw it into the old lady's hand: "Madam, let me ask you for information. Is there a servant named Niu Jinxing in Lushi County?"

No one cares about people or things that have nothing to do with him. For example, Dr. Tea, even if he has heard of Niu Jinxing's name, he is afraid that he will have forgotten it.

Silver is the best memory potion, which will help you remember a lot of people and things.

For example, the one-eyed old lady took the broken silver and immediately smiled and recalled desperately: "I don't know what Niu star, but there is someone with the surname Niu in Lu's County. It seems that there is such a person. By the way, isn't this the only one, the Master Niu in our Lu's County? His surname is Niu."

As soon as she reminded her, Dr. Cha suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory. Our master from Lushi County is surnamed Niu. It is said that he was a juren before. Yes, although he didn't know what kind of name he was, he was probably him."

Two days later, something big happened in Lu's County. Niu Jinxing, the commander of the county government, was killed, and his death was extremely strange.

Logically speaking, the county government in Lushi County was well-defended. There were still officials patrolling the night before, but the Master Niu died inexplicably in the county government.

This is not surprising. Niu Jinxing was terrifying in death. He seemed to die after a violent struggle. It is said that he had shouted, but it was strange that no one in the entire yamen heard any movement that night. What was even more strange was that the doors and windows of his house were closed, and he didn't know how the murderer sneaked in and escaped.

For Zhan Yunpeng and others, since they knew the other party’s identity, it is very simple to assassinate a nameless Niu Jinxing who is in this fashion.

They inquired all the way in Lushi County that the one-eyed old lady in the tea stall was right. The Niu Shiye of the county government was Niu Jinxing.

So, after nightfall, Zhan Yunpeng and the others immediately took action. Not to mention the county government office, even the palace was in the palace, they could come and go freely with their skills.

Soon, they found Niu Jinxing's room. Without saying a word, they tortured and forced confession. Not only did they abandon themselves, but they also offered his friend Song Xiance.

There was no suspense next. Niu Jinxing was twisted by Linghu Yunlong on his bed, and he opened his eyes wide and died with his eyes open.

The eight people were clean and neat, and then jumped out of the window and left. Before leaving, they locked the window with thin thread through the cracks of the window. This caused Niu Jinxing to have a very strange death. It was obvious that he was violently twisted his neck rather than committing suicide. But strangely, the doors and windows of his room were intact. The murderer left no trace, and the case eventually became a unsolved case in Lushi County.

Who would have thought that Niu Jinxing, who is famous all over the world, will die at the hands of the Tiger Army. He will eliminate the bandits in the bud in the bud, and this method will achieve great results.

At this time, Song Xiance was still telling fortunes for people in Yongcheng County. Niu Jinxing was so arrogant that he shook his head and begged for his tail in front of his boss, but he was very arrogant against his subordinates. Those who had personal grudges must retaliate. He was a typical villain.

Song Xiance is different from Niu Jinxing. Later, Song Xiance joined Li Zicheng as a military advisor. He made a lot of efforts during Li Zicheng's entry into Beijing and was highly valued. He was named the founding military advisor.

Song Xiance was one of the few people in the Dashun army who could keep a clear mind. After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he, like Li Yan, was very worried about Dashun's corruption. He repeatedly made suggestions, but he did not get a response from Li Zicheng.

Song Xiance was very smart. He used his good name to impress Li Zicheng, and used the celestial phenomena to warn him and submitted a memorial to Li Zicheng, saying: "The celestial phenomena are tragic, the sun is dull, so the punishment should be stopped urgently." Finally, Li Zicheng adopted it, and many people were saved because of it.

Song Xiance once made up prophecy for Li Zicheng: "The Eighteen Sons are the master of magical artifacts", helping Li Zicheng to agree on strategies, set up officials to defend the territory, eliminate violence and safeguard the good. After Li Yan was killed, Song Xiance was disheartened by Li Zicheng, believing that he was not the wise ruler he should assist, and was becoming increasingly alienated from Niu Jinxing and others.

In Yongcheng County, it is not difficult to find a fortune teller. There is no need to inquire. Shortly after the eight people entered the city, they saw a short man on a fortune teller.

fortune-telling is a business that relies on one's face and mouth to make a living. Not only can you be good at speaking, you can fool, but you also have to look strange. Song Xiance takes all these two points.

Song Xiance thought that this person was a magician in Yongcheng County. Although he was not tall, he was full of heaven and square in the pavilion. He was nicknamed "Song Dwarf" or "Song Haier".

Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong walked to his hexagram stall, and the client Song Xiance hurriedly stood up and bowed: "I don't know how many people are trying to measure numerology, horoscopes or marriage and wealth."

Zhan Yunpeng asked coldly: "Are you Shuang's Dwarf?"

The visitor was not good, and Song Xiance was shocked: "A few are..."

Linghu Yunlong next to him said again: "Your real name is Song Kangnian. You live as a "sage" and travel around for a long time to divine good and bad fortune. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, you changed your name to Song Xiance, right?"

The other party actually understood his origin clearly, and Song Xiance was shocked and bowed: "It's right."

"We were recommended by Niu Jinxing and came to Yongcheng to find you." Ling Tianyang behind him said.

When talking about Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance was stunned: "Brother Niu, isn't he in Lushi County? I wonder what you guys are there to find?"

This time, Zhan Yunpeng and others didn't say anything, but grabbed him...

Song Xiance felt that he had been kidnapped by a group of strong men. He was thrown on the horse by these people and galloped out of the county town. On the way, the eight people ran without stopping and galloping all the way.

Song Xiance was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going to take me?" But these people just refused to answer, just heading north."

It can be seen that these eight people are all very skilled and do not take the government seriously. Song Xiance was quite surprised along the way. Finally, when he was leaving, Zhan Yunpeng and others told him that he would take him to the capital.
