Assassination

At dawn the next day, I went to the abandoned garden. After confirming that no one came here and that the mute had never left under the bed, I let the mute eat and began to seriously imitate everything about the mute, including his memory.

In the afternoon, I changed into another outfit and sneaked into Honglian Temple. The dumb cousin was still cooking, so he didn't look for anyone.I walked around the places open to believers in the temple as a tourist, thinking about whether there was a place to ambush.I need to make two preparations, this is my original plan, but it is very risky to carry out an ambush assassination by myself, the reason is very simple, there are many routes and only one person, I can't be sure where the target will appear.If the assassination is on the road, there are many guards near the Third Prince's Mansion, and there are several roads to the Honglian Temple, so there is not enough time and manpower to cover everything.The outside of Honglian Temple is okay, but recently in Qingdao, it will be empty on the [-]th, which is not conducive to ambush. After thinking about it, it is best to mix into the temple. It is the best choice to mix into the Buddhist hall, but Honglian Temple The monks are not decorations, and it would be nice to be able to set up ambushes in other places in the No. [-] Middle School in advance, but there are many factors to consider.The appearance of the little mute gave me an excellent opportunity.

Combined with the information from the previous night visits, I roughly found four points. These four points are the only way for the very important enemy in Honglian Temple, and it is spring, with many flowers and trees, as a temporary ambush point. It is indeed a good choice.It's just that I only have one person, and I can only choose one place to ambush in the end.

When there were fewer and fewer people in the temple, I also followed the crowd to exit the Honglian Temple. At this time, the dumb brother should have finished his meal.

Sure enough, when I went out, I saw his dumb brother. He was standing not far from Honglian Temple, looking around anxiously and impatiently. After walking seven or eight times, there are only a few sparse stalls far away. Unlike other places in the city, the front gate of Honglian Temple can be said to be empty, and it will take a while for other buildings to appear.This is also to reflect the status of Honglian Temple.

This terrain greatly reduces the possibility of ambushes on the spot.

I went to a fortune-telling stall in the distance and sat down, and chatted with the stall owner. I got the information I wanted, and he earned the taels he wanted.Everyone is happy.

The fortune teller said that I will achieve my wishes and live a long life, not to mention that there is no way in this world that everything goes well, even with my identity as a killer, I will never live a long life.But this sounds nice, I just need to make my wish come true during this trip, kill Shang Ming and protect Ji Ling.

Dumb's cousin's name is Zhao Zuo, he is tall and strong, not at all like the thin dumb.

But the mute said that his cousin was tall and thin, which was probably the memory of the mute's childhood.The mute always makes me feel inexplicably believable, probably because he has a pair of clear and innocent eyes.If you can lie to me, you can obviously say that he looks exactly like his cousin, but unfortunately I have discovered several places that are not the case.

There are fewer and fewer people, and the mutes will naturally not appear. Zhao Zuo seemed to be a little irritable. He turned around for a while, and suddenly looked in my direction. look at me.

I was talking to the fortune teller and I caught a glimpse of him walking in from the corner of my eye. There are only three stalls near me, one for fortune telling, one for writing, and one for selling incense. Where is he going?

I thought about it secretly, and after a while, he strode across the booth where I was and stood in front of the writing booth.

"Sir, write me some words." His sonorous voice sounded.

"Master, please speak."

"Just write..." He paused, "The missing person notice: recruitment, Yang Xiaole, characteristic, um, can't speak."

"that's it?"

"I haven't seen him for many years, and I don't know what he looks like now." Zhao Zuo scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Do you need a little polish?"

"No need, it's fine if you can understand it. Maybe Xiao Le can see it by himself. He is literate, and he can find it by himself when he sees it. If the writing is too elegant, he may not be able to understand it." Zhao Zuo said, clenched his fists, and then Said, "One more thing, if you find someone, you will be given ten taels of silver."

"Okay. I want a few pictures."

"Thirty..." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zuo suddenly paused, "How much is a picture?"

"Five texts."

"Oh, that's fine, just fifty. Sir, write it first, I'll go back, this is the money, you keep it."

Not long after, Zhao Zuo came out with a small bucket, took fifty written characters and began to search around for places where missing person notices could be posted.

I quietly followed him and saw that he posted two pictures and changed his way to buy some things for the mute.

Zhao Zuo doesn't understand dumb language, and I don't need to learn it. The key is that there is not enough time. Maybe Yang Xiaole will show up tomorrow.

I brought all of Yang Xiaole's things back to the visitor, and early the next morning, I dressed up before dawn, and messed up my hair. The appearance that was seven points like Yang Xiaole's was nothing at first glance. respectively.Finally, he put a black mole on his earlobe, locked the door and went out wearing a hat.

I put on a piece of clothes that I often wear over Yang Xiaole's clothes, and walked in the opposite direction of Honglian Temple for a while, wandering around for a while, and saw two or three missing person notices on the road, it seems that this My brother did well.

Confirmation bit by bit finally made my trust in this matter deeper. Not only is he dumb, but even Zhao Zuo is also. I observed his expression and language yesterday, and I didn't find any flaws.Sensing words and observing emotions is something that a killer has to learn from an early age, and I think I can learn it well.

The similar appearance is really a coincidence, but there are so many coincidences in this world.

Until I came to an empty alley, I quickly took off the outer robe on my body, revealing my dumb clothes, and even my hat was cleaned with water.

I started to walk in the direction of Honglian Temple in a dumb way.

On the way, I met a person who had read the notice and could not help but drag me to collect the reward money. With such strength, I could break free easily, but the dumb man couldn't, so I was dragged all the way to Honglian Temple in a hurry.

Standing outside Honglian Temple, Zhao Zuo took out his purse very distressedly, took ten taels of silver and handed it over to a passer-by who was injured, and I changed from being held by the arm of a passerby to Zhao Zuo.

"Why did you come here? You won't be allowed to enter the temple in another three or four days, and you have to spend money to stay in an inn. Do you know how expensive things are in the capital?" Zhao Zuo said in a loud voice, "You said you are too old I thought something happened to you on the way, do you know how worried I am, if something happens to you, I dare to go home and see my parents and my old lady!"

I tugged at his sleeve, he turned his head and looked at me, I pulled out my hand, imitating the dumb manner and saying sorry in dumb language.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Zuo looked at me suspiciously.

As expected, he couldn't even understand such a simple sentence, which is fine.The mute said that he didn't start learning the mute language until he was six or seven years old, and Zhao Zuo had already left his hometown by then.

I squatted down, the road was so clean that I couldn't even see a single piece of wood, I just stretched out my dirty hands and gestured on the ground, "I'm sorry, brother. I was wrong."

I looked up at Zhao Zuo, but saw that the eyes of this tall man were a little red, he pulled me up, "What are you talking about, let's go, I will make something for you to eat later, it's cheap for you kid, I'm usually the host Only then can I eat the food I cook, unless there are some important people coming, outsiders will not be able to eat it if they don’t want to.”

"Ah!" I made a single voice of joy.

Big shot?Prepare the offerings by yourself, so is it possible that you also prepare the vegetarian meal yourself?If it's purely a lucky coincidence, let him be lucky all the way to the end.

I don't believe in fate, but I have always been so lucky, but this time it was too coincidental, so cautious that I couldn't believe it.

Zhao Zuo took me into the kitchen to help. At night, I slept in the same room with him. There were two people in his room, which was very loose.I originally thought that the three of us would sleep in one room at night, but Zhao Zuo actually drove the other away on the grounds that there were always only two people in this room.I wanted to stop it but it didn't.

The other person was very obedient, so he packed up his things and left. It seems that Zhao Zuo really has some power to speak. After getting along with him all afternoon, it can be seen that Zhao Zuo is a bit domineering, but he is also very righteous. A young monk borrowed money from him, and he gave it to him without saying a word.Being able to make a name for yourself in the monastery is not just about having cooking skills and brute force.

The two of us occupy the two ends of the kang, one on the left and the other on the right. He said to keep me away from him, lest his snoring would affect me.At first, I thought he was exaggerating, but I didn't expect the piercing sound to come out not long after the lights were turned off.I got up quietly, confirmed that he was really asleep, and then clicked his sleeping point to ensure that he would not wake up until I came back.

I sneaked out of the Honglian Temple and took out the things from the inn and gave some food to the mute. When I came back, I took advantage of the night to compare the places I was looking forward to one by one, and combined with Zhao Zuo’s final side-by-side questions, I finally decided Start laying out ambush points at two locations.

One is the road from the Buddhist hall to the abbot's residence. According to Zhao Zuo, it is very likely that Shang Ming and the abbot will discuss Buddhism and Taoism in the abbot's room.This is often the case in the royal family in the past.He also said that Shang Ming is likely to stay here for dinner, he will behave well, and I will naturally behave well.One is the road leading to the peach forest in the back mountain. It is best to set up an ambush point on this road.I heard that the peach grove behind the mountain is in bloom now, and it is very beautiful. The key is that this peach grove is said to be able to make wishes and is very effective. I don't really believe in such things, but it is enough for the dignitaries of Xian Yuan Kingdom to believe it.Not everyone can enter this peach forest, I have never heard of it before.

After the third watch, I hid my things and went back to Zhao Jian's room. He was still snoring, the bed was very hot, and there was no sign of leaving. I opened his acupoints, took off his clothes and got into the bed.

Zhao Zuo woke up very early. I heard the sound and secretly thought whether I should be woken up or pretend to be woken up. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zuo had no intention of waking me up at all. He put on his clothes lightly, and I was in the crevice of the bed Looking at him calmly, his nose shrugged as if he was about to sneeze, but he didn't sneeze. The speed of dressing was much faster, but he still didn't make a sound.Pulling on his shoes, Zhao Zuo hurried out of the door, closed the door and I heard him walk several steps, and suddenly a loud sneezing sound reached my ears.

Was it because he was afraid of waking me up that he endured it? This Zhao Zuo treated his younger brother pretty well.

After sleeping for another half an hour, Zhao Zuo came in with a plate. I pretended to be woken up and sat up from the bed. He smiled at me, "Don't sleep, get up and eat."

The food was good, and Zhao Zuo boasted that it was the best leftover ingredients from cooking for the host.

After three days like this, during the day I followed Zhao Zuo to fight and inquired about the news, at night I tapped Zhao Zuo's acupoints to deliver food to the mute, and when I came back I continued to ambush.I still haven't found anything suspicious.Naturally I was not noticed to be unnatural in any way.It was yesterday that Zhao Zuo took me around the monastery, and happened to meet a man who knew some dumb words. Fortunately, Zhao Zuo's enthusiastic and loud voice attracted his attention, and the few dumb words I knew did not show my timidity.

Shang Ming will come tomorrow, and I have some vague expectations.

I made sure that there was nothing wrong with the ambush point before I went to deliver food to the mute. This time, the food I brought to the mute contained meat. If there were no mistakes, it would be difficult for him to eat meat when he went to the temple.I haven't brought it before, it's just because the aroma is too strong.

While he was eating, I popped a pill that temporarily weakened his strength into his mouth, but the mute had already swallowed it in surprise. Just as he was about to hold his throat, I said, "It's the antidote."

After hearing this, he put down his hands and took another bite of the chicken leg, seemingly absent-minded.

"Take it quickly." I said, "This antidote needs to lie down for a day and a night after a meal to digest it. Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted."

After hearing what I said, he took another bite of the meat and swallowed it in a hurry. He hiccupped because of choking, and wrote on the ground under the moonlight, "Is it true?"

"what?"

"Is it really the antidote?"

"Yes."

After getting my affirmative answer, he burst into tears in an instant, the ah ah sound was harsh, I took a breath, clicked his sleeping point and sent him to the bottom of the bed.

The sleepy point usually wakes up in the first hour, but the first hour is risky for me. Before, I would put the pills in the meal. This time, it’s time to give the dumb an antidote.The antidote he wanted.

He will wake up in about [-] or [-] hours, and by then no matter what the result is, it should be over.

No, this assassination must have only one outcome, and that is that I will win.
