Chapter 137 Assassination Bureau

"New Year's goods are all there."

Mrs. Wei has always been the one who worries about the preparations for the family, so he didn't have anything to buy.

It's just that everyone would be a little happy to see such a lively scene.

The harvest year and the festival reminded him of some things in his childhood.

His father went out to fight, and his mother died early, so he could only live in his fifth uncle's house. He didn't eat well and wore thin clothes, but he managed to survive.

It snowed so heavily this year, and I don't know if they were frozen in the farm.

Thinking of this, he told the servant outside.

"When you go back later, buy more New Year's goods here and have someone send them to the farm for your fifth uncle's family."

"Yes, Duke."

Then he closed his eyes and staggered towards the palace.

But he didn't know that he had been secretly followed.

If there weren't so many people on the street at this moment, I'm afraid the other party would have taken action long ago.

Luo Yuan and Zheng Deli, who were also hiding in the dark, also looked serious, staring at the carriage of the Duke's Mansion.

They breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it safely drive out of Pingle Street.

Luo Yuan lowered his voice and said.

"Mrs. Wei looks weak, but I didn't expect that she would dare to hire a killer. If the women in the back house become vicious, we men will have no chance."

"I dare not marry such a woman even if she is as beautiful as a fairy. Who knows if she can wake up after sleeping."

Zheng Deli's words were poisonous, but his meaning was very clear.

The two of them really looked down on Mrs. Wei, but they were a little impressed that Madam Jiao could find the killer. It seems that she has done such things a lot in the past, otherwise how could she be so familiar with it?

The days of waiting were very difficult to endure.

But Luo Yuan and Zheng Deli were both from the Tiger Guards. Not to mention one day, even when they followed Shang Ji to ambush in the mountains, they did not move for three or four days.

Therefore, it was not difficult for them.

As the sky gradually brightened, the snow stopped falling.

A rare warm winter sun came out, shining on everyone and making them feel more comfortable.

There were more and more street vendors, and people who were buying New Year's goods were crowded.

When Luo Yuan counted more than 4,600 people, the carriage of the Duke's Mansion appeared in front of everyone.

"Here it comes."

Zheng Deli reminded.

Luo Yuan also focused and looked around, without moving at all.

In the carriage, Shang Yukuan was resting with his eyes closed.

The servant came to the street and pulled the reins in his hand when he saw that there were too many people, and turned around and said.

"Master, this place is blocked. Should we take a detour? Or continue to move forward?"

Shang Yukuan did not answer him, and the servant felt a little strange.

Just as he was about to lift the curtain to ask another question, a sharp arrow brushed his cheek and shot at Shang Yukuan.

With a puff, the bullet hit his left arm.

Shang Yukuan was sobered up immediately by the pain, and with a cry of "Ah", the miserable crowd became restless.

I don't know who shouted, "Murder!"

All of a sudden, the originally happy people ran around like a swarm of crazy bees.

Under such circumstances, the horses were naturally frightened.

The originally gentle horse suddenly went crazy and ran away. The servant didn't hold the reins firmly and was thrown off.

The Duke Shang Yukuan in the carriage was holding his arm that was shot through and wailing in pain.

The carriage ran forward crazily, so he couldn't sit still, and his head hit the wooden window on the side, and blood came out instantly.

The world was spinning, and I didn't know what sin had happened to him. In broad daylight, he was assassinated in the street!

Unfortunately, Shang Yukuan didn't have the chance to think about this at the moment. He stumbled in the carriage and got a lot of new injuries.

Luo Yuan looked at the carriage running around crazily and trampled several people, and he immediately couldn't sit still.

But before he could speak, Zheng Deli waved his hand calmly, and the soldiers hiding in the dark had already shown their faces.

Those who wanted to arrest people were arrested, and those who wanted to stop the carriage stopped the carriage.

Even though the scene was chaotic, it didn't affect them at all.

One of them jumped up and jumped onto the horse's back, pulling the reins frantically, trying to stop the carriage.

But the horse seemed to have been drugged and couldn't be stopped at all.

Seeing that it was going to run like crazy, it was afraid that it would cause a disaster. The man immediately slapped the horse's head and used all his strength.

At the same time, he also jumped down with the injured Duke.

The horse was hit hard, neighed, staggered a few steps and stopped moving forward at a high speed.

The Duke was now completely injured.

He was so dizzy that he could only say one sentence.

"Thank you, warrior..., I..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard uniform footsteps coming from not far away. From their attire, he knew that they were from the Capital Region Office.

The safety of Sui'an City was originally their responsibility, so there were people patrolling everywhere.

Pingle Street was in chaos, so the people from the Capital Region Office naturally came quickly.

Seeing people coming, the soldier dodged and hid in the crowd, disappearing without a trace.

Not far away, someone shouted.

"Help, someone is killing someone."

A man in a coarse linen shirt was thrown out. He had a bow and arrow in his hand. It was obvious that he was the one who had just assassinated Shang Yukuan.

The people of Jingjisi came forward and surrounded him. Seeing that the situation was not right, the man wanted to escape, but he didn't know why he suddenly lost his strength.

He was tied up limply.

At this moment, he secretly cried out that it was not good. If he was accused of assassinating the Duke, he would be in trouble.

On the other side, Shang Yukuan also fainted because of "serious injuries".

The servant was in great pain, but when he saw the commander of Jingjisi, he immediately came forward and asked for help.

"Sir, help me, someone is trying to assassinate the Duke!"

Hearing this, the commander's eyes were alert.

Under the feet of the emperor, in the imperial city, there are still people who are so fearless?

He immediately ordered.

"Quick, block this street and don't let the suspicious people escape. Send more people to find the Duke!"

"Yes!"

Apart from the others, his immediate superior is a member of the Wei family, and the Duke's Mansion is related to the Wei family by marriage. If he fails to do this job, he may have no hope of promotion in the future.

So, he also became nervous.

Fortunately, the place where Shang Yukuan fainted was just a few hundred meters away.

After searching for a while, the Duke was found and the murderer was caught.

The commander felt that this matter was too smooth. Just as he was wondering if someone was behind the scenes, he heard his subordinates say.

"The Duke fainted, and his body was covered in blood."
