Chapter 471: Assassination (2)
"Mr. Hua, please calm down. People like Cheng Rong and Baoshang are all the best friends of Queen Baosi. This time they suddenly used the pretense of clearing the way for Sheng Jia to visit the counties on the border. This is obviously our fault. After all, the officials in the border counties are all sent out by us. Over the years, we have relied on the contributions of border officials for more than ten million taels. If Cheng Rong and his gang find out the real situation in the border Son of Heaven, then we will suffer a heavy loss!" Lu Kai worried.

"Then what should we do? Now, people are using knives and we are fish. We can't wait for Cheng Rong to lead someone to cut off our heads, right?" Fang Jin said anxiously.

"Master Hua, please calm down. I might as well go and see Concubine Jiang to see if there is any room for change." Lu Kai pulled Duke Hua up and walked into the night.

"This is easy to handle. Let's spread rumors that Cheng Rong was appointed by the queen to go to other places to search and beat them up, and then send an assassin to kill Cheng Rong and Baoshang in his arms without anyone noticing. If there is no proof of death, the king will not care about border issues." In the Baoji Palace, the candlelight flickered like a ghost, reflecting on Concubine Jiang's dazzling headdress, which was particularly dazzling, and a vicious sneer appeared on Concubine Jiang's lips.

Huailai County has been governed for more than half a month. Cheng Rong, Baoshang, and Fangcai worked together. In less than a few dozen days, Huailai was densely populated, and some barren land was reclaimed. From a distance, it looks like an oasis.

"My lord, after a person outside the door gave me this kit, he suddenly left without saying goodbye." Cheng Rong was discussing countermeasures in the lobby just now, when a guard suddenly knelt down in front of Cheng Rong with a purple kit.

"That person left after giving the bag?" Cheng Rong asked. "It is absolutely true, my lord." The guard replied decisively.

Cheng Rong quickly tore open the kit, took out the letterhead inside and took a closer look. He was shocked, and asked the guard, "Then, have you seen clearly what the person who gave the kit looks like?"

"Well, because the man was covering his face, I couldn't see clearly." The guard apologized.

"This is strange, who gave us such a strange tip?" Cheng Rong hesitated for a long time, holding on to the letter.

"What's the matter? Master Cheng." Baoshang saw that Cheng Rong was unhappy, so he hurried forward with Fangcai, carefully read the letter in Cheng Rong's hand, and saw that it said: When the moon is full tomorrow, a group of assassins will come to the Yamen To commit murder, they formed a group of 30 people and pretended to be the imperial guards around the king, so once there is an imperial edict, they must not kneel down to accept it.

"Assassin? Who has the guts to send an assassin to pretend to be the Imperial Army to assassinate us?" Fang Cai said with a pale face.

"What a joke. In broad daylight, who dares to pretend to be the imperial army to assassinate the officials in the yamen? Master Cheng, according to my younger brother, this is clearly someone playing a prank and playing tricks on us. Don't take it seriously!" Baoshang said with a relaxed face. laughed.

"Young Master Bao, it's better to be careful in everything. It's better to believe what's good or not. We vigorously rectify the civil affairs in Huailai and Tongguan, measure the land, and distribute it to the refugees. We must offend many local gentry. What if they secretly coerce revenge?" Just then persuaded.

"The letter clearly tells us that this batch of assassins is very powerful. Although our martial arts are high, the guards in our hands are not half as good as the villains. It is better to prepare the vehicle early and leave the government office." Cheng Rong thought again and again.

"My lord, run away before fighting? If the enemy ambushes in the middle, wouldn't we be in more danger? At that time, we will all die in battle. Who can report the real situation at the border to the king?" Baoshang gritted his teeth. .
