MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 137 Assassination Bureau

Chapter 137 Assassination Bureau

 “The New Year’s goods are quite complete.”

Mrs. Wei has always been worried about the household purchases, so he doesn’t have much to buy.

It’s just that even if you see such a lively scene, you will be a little bit happy.

 The harvest festival reminded him of some things from his childhood.

His father went out to fight, and his mother died young. He had to live in his fifth uncle's house. He had poor food and scanty clothing, but he managed to survive.

With such heavy snow this year, I don’t know if they were frozen in Zhuangzi.

Thinking of this, I gave instructions to the boy outside.

“When you return home later, you can buy more New Year’s goods here and have them sent to Zhuangzi for the fifth uncle’s family.”

 “Yes, the Duke of the country.”

 Then he closed his eyes and wandered towards the palace.

But he didn’t know that he was already being secretly watched.

If there weren't too 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 had serious faces, staring at the carriage of the Duke's Palace.

 After seeing it safely drive out of Pingle Street, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Yuan lowered his voice and said.

"Mrs. Wei looked at Wen Wen and was weak, but she didn't expect that she would dare to buy a murderer. If the wife in the back house becomes vicious, she will really have nothing to do with men like us."

“No matter how beautiful she is, I would not dare to ask for such a woman. Who knows whether she will be able to wake up if she is destined to sleep.”

Zheng Deli’s words were venomous, but his meaning was very clear.

Both of them really looked down upon Mrs. Wei, but they just admired Nanny Jiao for being able to find a killer. It seemed that she had done this kind of thing a lot in the past, otherwise how could she be so familiar with it?

 The days of waiting are hard to endure even for a moment.

But Luo Yuan and Zheng Deli were both members of the Hu Ben Army. They did not move for three or four days when they followed Shang Ji in an ambush in the mountains, let alone one day.

 Hence, it is not difficult for them.

As the sky gradually gets brighter, the snow does not fall much.

A rare warm winter sun came out, which made everyone feel much better.

There are more and more vendors on the streets, and people buying new year's goods are also crowded.

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

"coming."

 Zheng Deli reminded him.

Luo Yuan also became focused and looked around, but didn't move at all.

 While the carriage and horses were driving, Shang Yukuan was resting with his eyes closed.

The young man came to the street. When he saw that there were a lot of people, he pulled the reins in his hands and turned around and said.

“Sir, this place is blocked. Should we take a detour? Or continue forward?”

Shang Yukuan didn't answer him, and the boy felt a little strange.

Just when he was about to lift the curtain and ask another question, a sharp arrow grazed his cheek and shot towards Shang Yukuan.

With a thud, it hit his left arm.

Shang Yukuan woke up immediately from the pain. With a sound of "Ah", everyone in the miserable state became restless.

I don’t know who shouted, “Kill!”

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

 Under such circumstances, the horses were naturally frightened.

The originally gentle horse suddenly went crazy and started galloping. The boy, who had not been able to hold the reins firmly, was suddenly thrown off.

Shang Yukuan, the Duke of the state, was holding the shot-pierced arm and wailing in pain in the carriage.

The carriage ran forward crazily, causing him to lose his seat and hit his head on the wooden window on the side, causing him to bleed instantly. The world was spinning, and I didn’t know what evil had happened to me. Under the clear sky and in broad daylight, I was assassinated in the street!

Unfortunately, Shang Yukuan had no chance to think about this at this moment. He was stumbling around in the carriage and horse, and he suffered a lot of new injuries.

Luo Yuan saw the chariots and horses running wildly around, trampling on several people, and immediately became unable to sit still.

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

Those who arrest people arrest people, and those who block cars stop cars.

Even if the scene was chaotic, it did not affect them in the slightest.

One of them jumped up on the horse's back, pulling the reins frantically in an attempt to stop the carriage and horse.

 But the horse seemed to have been drugged by me and could not be pulled at all.

Seeing that if he continued running like this, he was afraid that it would cause a disaster, the man immediately slapped the horse on the head, using all his strength.

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

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

 However, the Duke of the country has no good land left in his body at this moment.

  I was so dizzy that I only had time to say one sentence.

 “Thank you, strong man…, I…”

Before I finished speaking, I heard uniform steps coming not far away. I could tell by their appearance that they were coming from the Gyeonggi Division.

They are responsible for the safety of Sui'an City, so there are people patrolling everywhere.

Pingle Street is in chaos, and the people from the Jingji Division naturally come quickly.

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

Not far away, someone shouted something.

 “Help, it’s a murderer.”

Only a man wearing coarse linen clothes was thrown out. He also had a bow and arrow in his hand. At a glance, he knew that he was the man who had just assassinated Shang Yukuan.

The people from the Gyeonggi Division came forward and surrounded him. Seeing that the situation was not right, the man wanted to escape, but for some reason, he suddenly lost strength.

The limp one was tied up.

At this moment, he secretly screamed that it was not good. If the reputation of assassinating the Duke of Guo fell, he would not be able to live with it.

 Shang Yukuan on the other end also fainted due to "serious injuries".

The boy was in severe pain, but when he saw the commander of the Gyeonggi Division, he immediately stepped forward and asked for help.

 “Sir, help me, someone is going to assassinate the Duke!”

 Hearing this, the commander's eyes became wary.

 At the feet of the emperor, in the imperial city, is there anyone so unafraid of death?

He immediately gave the order.

“Quickly, block this street to prevent suspicious people from escaping, and send additional personnel to find the Duke!”

"yes!"

Apart from anything else, his immediate boss is a member of the Wei family, and the government is related to the Wei family by marriage. If he cannot handle this job well, he may have no hope of promotion in the future.

 So, I also became nervous.

But 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 vaguely felt that this matter was going too smoothly, and was wondering if someone might be behind the scenes, when he heard someone under his command say something.

“The Duke of Guo fainted and was covered in blood.”
