The world of Taoism

Chapter 65 Assassination (recommended for collection)

Ever since Zhou Xuan walked in, this guy kept his head down, not daring to look up.

Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, County Magistrate Lu's eyes were fixed, and he suddenly thought of something, and walked quickly to the master.

"What's going on?" County Magistrate Lu shouted in a deep voice.

"My lord, the lower officials don't know either." The master book's face was pale, and he forced his mouth to be stiff.

Zhou Xuan walked up slowly, stepping heavily on the ground.

It was like stepping on the master's heart, giving him an extremely powerful pressure.

"What are you doing? I'm an imperial court official..." The master backed up step by step, and didn't stop until he leaned against the wall.

"Aren't I also an imperial court official? Tell me, if you hide a little bit, then you won't be so easy to talk about." Zhou Xuan smiled slowly, his eyes were as sharp as knives.

As soon as the words fell, the two went up to press the master book on Monday and Tuesday.

The master secretary tremblingly told what happened and why.

After hearing what happened, County Magistrate Lu immediately flew into a rage.

"Well, you bastard, you actually did so many things without telling me." County magistrate Lu's expression did not seem to be fake.

He really didn't expect that someone would be so bold and act secretly.

Originally, the case has been concluded and the relevant persons have been sentenced.

As a result, judging from what the master clerk said just now, the only ones who were punished were those subordinates who were blamed.

Liu Xiucai was even beaten to death by someone sent by the chief bookkeeper.

In other words, he was useless as a county magistrate, and instead was used as a weapon by his subordinates.

"Who ordered you? Where is the quack doctor?" Zhou Xuan stepped forward and asked.

If the master is not a person who practiced spells, then the only possibility is that quack doctor

"I don't know about a quack doctor. He gave me 1000 taels of silver to help him solve his future problems. I don't even know his name." The master secretary knelt on the ground, his back wet with cold sweat.

A thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money for the master book, and the master book did this kind of thing under the obsession with profit.

I thought it was just an ordinary commoner, but I didn't expect to provoke Zhou Xuan.

The chief bookkeeper is generally a local local snake, and has a huge influence in the county.

Zhou Xuan's name is well-known in the local area, and everyone knows his ruthless methods.

Now that he has provoked such a god of plague, it makes the master feel like a thunderbolt.

At this time, He Yingning whispered in Zhou Xuan's ear, "This man is lying."

In addition to Baihua's psychic psychic, He Yingning can also faintly feel the thought fluctuations in a person's heart.

Although not as exaggerated as mind reading, it is still very simple to tell whether a person is lying,

"How dare you lie to me..." Zhou Xuan turned his head and said to the county magistrate, "I will lend you a prison."

Whizzing!

A series of soft sounds came, and Zhou Xuan's eyes were fixed, and he shouted to the people around him: "Get down!"

On Monday and Tuesday, the two had absolute trust in Zhou Xuan, and the moment they spoke, they immediately fell to the ground.

Zhou Xuan kicked County Magistrate Lu down, and then pushed He Yingning to the ground.

puff!

The arrow flew past Zhou Xuan's scalp, nailed to the head book's forehead, and directly pierced it.

The head book stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and died on the spot without even screaming.

More than a dozen crossbow arrows flew from outside the door, flew past the bodies of Zhou Xuan and the others, and nailed the others hard.

These crossbow arrows were originally aimed at Zhou Xuan and the master, because Zhou Xuan and the others fell down, causing the others to die.

When Zhou Xuan lay down, a black light flew out from his cuff.

When I flew outside, I found that the person had disappeared.

Zhou Xuan's eyes flashed, he swallowed the spell, and muttered the spell silently.

The voice within a radius of [-] meters came into his ears, and Zhou Xuan looked to the side.

On the roof, there was a group of chaotic footsteps gradually going away, the number of people was about twelve or three.

Unexpectedly, in broad daylight, someone was lying in ambush and sneak attacking.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan rushed out immediately.

It seems that this monster is not easy to make trouble, there should be an organization behind the scenes.

These assassins are well-trained, not like ordinary families can come out.

Zhou Xuan put on the Thunder Mask.

The mask can block flying arrows. With this, you don't have to be afraid of crossbow arrows anymore.

The body is like an ape, kicking up the wall in two or three steps, and running quickly on the eaves.

Even with the eaves the size of a palm, Zhou Xuan could walk like flying.

Walking to a small alley, Zhou Xuan leaped high, rolled in the air, turned over and fell to the ground.

"What about people?"

Zhou Xuan took off his mask and lost it. The group of people moved very fast.

Zhou Xuan jumped onto the roof again. At this time, Zhou Xuan and others rushed over and also jumped on the roof to watch.

This group of people came and went without a trace, and it didn't seem like they were acting on a whim.

It seems that there is an organization and a premeditated plan, the purpose is to kill himself, or kill the master.

"On Monday, take people to search, door to door." Zhou Xuan ordered.

This group of people must have something to do with quack doctors, maybe they belong to these organizations.

After some searching, nothing was found.

The master book was killed, the related people died in prison, and all the clues were cut off.

On the way back, Zhou Xuan and He Yingning were sitting in the carriage.

There was nothing to say all the way, what Zhou Xuan had to do now was to rush back home.

Although there are guards at home and the defense is tight, you still have to go back and take a look.

The county seat is quite far away from where Zhou's family is located. There are some deserted roads in the middle, and the surroundings are silent, only the sound of the carriage echoing.

In the woods, a group of men in black were lying in the grass.

Above the tree trunk, the hiding place is very hidden, and the sound of breathing and heartbeat is extremely weak, as if it were a dead thing.

These men in black are thin and small, less than 1 meters, like apes.

They kept their eyes on the road without blinking.

The target of this group of men in black was Zhou Xuan.

When they received the mission, they must intercept and kill Zhou Xuan and related people, and do not reveal any rumors.

So they assassinated at the yamen first, but the assassination failed, and then they pretended to escape, but actually ambushed Zhou Xuan on the way back.

It was less than 20 meters away from the road, so there was no need to worry about Zhou Xuan finding them.

The man in black smears a kind of talisman water on his body, which can block all odors on his body.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Ahead, the carriage slowly approached.

The moment he saw the carriage protruding hundreds of meters away, the man in black stiffened like a log.

There is no breathing or heartbeat, and the whole person is like a dead thing.

It seems that they have a good understanding of Zhou Xuan's ability, so they used this method of coping.

The carriage is getting closer and closer, 200 meters, 100 meters... Everyone is as motionless as a dead thing.

Whizzing!

A dozen crossbow bolts were aimed at the middle of the carriage, passed through the inner wall of the carriage, and nailed hard into it.

All the firepower of the people was concentrated on the carriage, regardless of other people.

For them, as long as Zhou Xuan, an important person, is killed, the others are like chickens and dogs, so they don't need to worry about it at all.

"The mission is over..." the leader of the man in black breathed a sigh of relief.Then he aimed the crossbow arrow at the person next to the carriage, ready to finish.

The voice just fell.

The leader of the man in black suddenly felt his body lighten, and then fell rapidly.

He saw a headless body behind him, and then his eyes went black.

Isn't this my body?
Before losing consciousness, a thought flashed through the leader of the man in black.

The remaining survivors were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Behind the man in black stood a man with a hideous mask.

The man held a snow-white scimitar in his hand, and blood dripped from the tip of the knife.
