The rain stopped, the streets of Changsha City were filled with water, and there were more pedestrians, and they were still coming and going. The slowly passing ox carts, the wheels pressed against the loose bluestone road, splashing a little water.

The water splashed to the side of the road. Zhang Qia, a junior official from the state party, and his companions, could not hide, and their pants rolled to their knees were splashed.

He looked up at the ox cart in anger and was about to curse, but he saw that the few people following the ox cart were tall and obviously not easy to mess with, so he could only swallow his anger.

After the other party walked away, he spat on the ground: "One day I will be struck by lightning!"

Zhang Qia whispered, and continued to walk forward with his companions, taking advantage of the sudden rain and rushed to his destination.

Like many pedestrians, they wore wooden clogs, rolled up their trousers, walked on the streets filled with water everywhere, heading towards the east gate.

As soon as I left the east gate, I saw many people gathering on the road outside the city. It seemed that something had happened and blocked the road.

Zhang Qia went out of the city today to go to the suburbs to do business. He didn't want to miss the time, but this road after leaving the city is a must-pass place and cannot detour, so he can only continue to move forward.

When I got closer, I found that the governor's car was parked, and it seemed that I was about to enter the city, with many followers protecting the ox carts in front and behind.

Both sides of the road were filled with people watching the fun, and there were also people under the eaves of the houses on both sides. More than ten steps in front of the car, a boy was kneeling on the ground with water.

The boy was wearing a torn linen mourning wardrobe, holding a cloth full of words in his hand, holding it high above his head, and shouting loudly with tears flowing.

Zhang Qia didn't need to ask others, and soon realized: This is a plea for justice!

He and his companions came to his spirits, squeezed into the crowd, and got as close as possible. He wanted to hear the young man in this filial piety uniform complained to the governor and the King of Hedong.

But I soon remembered one thing: Isn’t the King of Hedong in his mansion? When did he leave the city?

Zhang Qia knew that because of heavy rains for even a few days, the King of Hedong did not come to the Prefecture Party and today. Zhang Qia heard that the King of Hedong would not come to the Prefecture Party today, and the reason was unknown.

Later, when he and his companions went out to do business, an official went to the Hedong Prince's Mansion, and he could see clearly at the entrance of the state party.

So the King of Hedong suddenly wanted to leave the city. Now the rain has just stopped for a while and then returned to the city?

Zhang Qia was about to squeeze through the crowd and continue walking forward, but saw a person coming down from the ox cart. Judging from his clothes, it should be the King of Hedong, because the only one in the boundary of Xiangzhou is the King of Hedong.

Zhang Qia had met the King of Hedong, but had seen it from afar in the state government. At this moment, he was also watching from afar.

But the King of Hedong walked forward regardless of the muddy road surface and walked towards the boy. His entourage quickly surrounded the boy like a human wall, separating the around him.

The King of Hedong was so close to the people. Zhang Qia felt strange. He saw the King of Hedong took the cloth from the boy's hand through the wall, and then a follower beside him whispered to the people around him:

"The envoy received the complaint and will definitely give this young man justice!"

"Everyone, as long as there is any grievance, just go to the state party to seek justice. The king will definitely preach the justice of everyone!"

Because they were speaking in Changsha local dialect, everyone understood it and were very excited. Someone in the crowd shouted "King Yingming!" first, and the others also shouted.

Zhang Qia looked at these entourages in the royal palace and felt very good, because since the King of Hedong became the governor of Xiangzhou, he often went to and from the state party. No matter how many entourages he had, he could always look familiar with them when he saw them too many.

But the people in front of me were so nervous that I had never seen them.

Zhang Qia was puzzled and looked at the followers behind the car, and found that although these people were dressed in a good manner, they all looked vulgar and did not look like followers who were dependent on their power.

It seems like a country man who has never seen the world, or a coolie who is hired to work, timid.

‘How could King Hedong use such a person as his follower? Is it embarrassing?’

Just as he was puzzled, he saw several masked men suddenly appearing on the roof of the house next to him, holding crossbows, and shooting arrows at the King of Hedong from a high place.

The left and right sides were not protected. In the public eye, the King of Hedong was hit by several arrows, and blood was sprayed on his mouth. He covered his chest, and fell to the ground in pain.

"King, King!" The entourages surrounded and kept shouting. The other entourage pointed at the masked man on the roof and shouted loudly: "Assassin, there is an assassin!"

The guards bent their bows and arrows to shoot assassins, but the assassin jumped off the roof and disappeared.

He witnessed the King of Hedong who was caught in several arrows, vomiting blood and spitting out a few steps away. He was stunned for a few breaths, and then he was so scared that his face looked like earth, exclaimed, and ran away in scattered.

The gatekeepers at the city gate, Bai Zhi and the soldiers on duty on the front of the city, saw that the King of Hedong was assassinated, were panicked and ran towards the scene.

In a panic, Zhang Qia was held hostage by the crowd and walked out. He staggered and fell to the ground. He was stepped on by someone. He was covered in stains. He finally climbed to the side of the road, curled up and hugged his head with both hands.

A hoarse cry came from his ears, "The king is dead!", "Catch the assassin!", and in his mind, the scene of the King of Hedong spitting blood and dying.

Why do people get shot blood so hard when they get shot?

Confusion flashed through his mind, looking at the chaos in front of him, people everywhere, and his heart was soon occupied by fear: the King of Hedong was assassinated and assassinated!

The scene was in chaos, and soon a patrolman came, shouting loudly, and it seemed that outside the east gate of Changsha seemed to be boiling.

......

When the mansion, King Xiao Yu of Hedong was unable to react when he learned the news that King Hedong was assassinated.

He looked at the assistant officer who came to report the news, and said a thousand words to his lips but couldn't say it. After a moment, he said lightly: "The rumors stop at the wise man. Why is this boring market rumor so fuss?"

"King! I'm right, I heard it clearly, just now..."

The assistant briefly told the story, and of course, he also listened.

Not long ago, when the car driver of the "Hedong King" was about to enter the city from the east gate, he encountered a mourning boy who was blocking the road and complaining.

So, the "King of Hedong" got off the car, personally accepted the complaint, and comforted the young man.

The followers also made a loud statement to the surrounding people, saying that the King of Hedong would definitely give the young man justice.

At that time, everyone cheered, but as a result, several masked people suddenly appeared on the roof of the house on the side of the road. In full view of everyone, they shot the "King of Hedong" into a hedgehog and fell to the ground and died.

The scene was in chaos, people were scattered, and the soldiers patrolled the city rushed to the main road outside the East Gate, but the "King of Hedong" was no longer visible.

After hearing this, Xiao Yu was stunned: "What, what's going on? I am here, who was the assassinated?"

Who is it? Of course, he is a person with ulterior motives.

He quickly realized that he was about to arrange the arrangement, but he heard the noise outside suddenly, and was a little angry, and shouted, "What's the matter loud..."

But the guard rushed in: "King! Someone attacked the mansion!"

"What's going on?!" Xiao Yu stood up and the guard added: "Someone pretended to be an official army and rushed outside the mansion in the name of arresting the murderers outside the East Gate and attacked suddenly!"

Only then did Xiao Yu understand why the "Hedong King was assassinated by the streets" was just now, and it turned out that he was a striking attack on the east and the west.

As soon as I rushed out of the hall, I saw that the main door of the mansion had been closed by the guards desperately. Someone outside kept hitting the door, making a "bang bang bang" sound, and there were fighting sounds, and screams kept ringing.

It seems that the murderer was blocked outside the door and could not rush in, but the officials and followers who were waiting outside the door and on the street would be miserable.

Xiao Yushan is strong and strong, but he will not be scared by the assassin. He takes the sword, pulls it out, and wants to command and fight back on the spot, but is pulled by the assistant:

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and the king cannot fall into a dangerous place. He must be wary of hidden arrows!"

"Hidden arrow? Haha, bring the bow!"

Xiao Yu's face remained unchanged and directed the archers who rushed over to the wall to warn him. As long as someone emerged and tried to climb over the wall, he didn't need to ask, just shoot.

Other guards and guards, holding weapons in their hands gathered behind the wall. Once someone climbed over the wall, they fell to the ground, and they would kill them.

Another guard surrounded Xiao Yu and was wary of the razor.

As a result, the bamboo baskets "turned over" on the other side of the street wall. The bamboo baskets fell to the ground, and many strips of different lengths and entangled together rolled down from them.

But it is a snake with different patterns.

Many, many.
