Apricot Tree Street
Mou Xiaoning lowered her hand that was shielding her eyes from the sun and exclaimed, "They're coming!"
Upon hearing Mou Xiaoning's words, everyone perked up.
The musket was loaded and aimed at the road below.
I, along with Mou Xiaoning and Sister Thirteen, stood on the rooftop, holding our Repeater Crossbows, aiming at the street below.
The effective range of the Repeater Crossbow was only fifty meters, so we had to wait for Hu Jingtian to get closer before taking action.
Soon, two carriages appeared one after the other.
"Fire!" I commanded.
As soon as I finished speaking, three arrows shot out.
These three arrows were not aimed at the first carriage but rather at the second one.
My target was to start with the second carriage.
Once the three arrows were released, I immediately discarded the Repeater Crossbow and drew my Short Musket.
Mou Xiaoning and Sister Thirteen also took out their Short Muskets, aiming at the road below.
In the next moment, an explosion rang out.
The explosives under the second carriage detonated with a loud bang.
After the explosion, Mou Xiaoning, Sister Thirteen, and I quickly fired our muskets.
We stood on the rooftop and fired down at the street below.
At the same time we opened fire, Liu Liu burst out from the nearby building.
Liu Liu held a Repeater Crossbow in her hands and fiercely shot at the road below.
Yuan Bufei and Wang Ningyuan intercepted ahead and launched arrow attacks.
In just half a minute, the two carriages were destroyed by the Repeater Crossbow.
The bodies were covered in arrow holes.
Seeing that both carriages had been wrecked, I quickly climbed down from the roof.
After I descended, I found that the people inside were already dead.
Hu Jingtian and Gongsun Qing were shot to pieces, their deaths extremely tragic.
Looking at Hu Jingtian's corpse, a satisfied smile appeared on my face.
This assassination took less than a minute from start to finish.
Not to mention passersby; even those far away, like Situ Chaozong and others, did not see what actually happened.
All they knew was that the two carriages had exploded and then been turned into a sieve.
Such an efficient assassination is rare in all of Xiazhu.
However, this case was not easy to handle.
To accomplish this, I did a lot of preliminary work.
Starting from details like obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness, I deduced Hu Jingtian's route of action, then used Gongsun Qing's vanity to successfully lure Hu Jingtian to Apricot Tree Street.
Each step consumed a great deal of my effort.
Fortunately, heaven rewards the diligent; Hu Jingtian is finally dead!
"My lord, what should we do now?" Sister Thirteen asked.
"Clear away the arrows; leave no traces," I instructed.
Sister Thirteen acknowledged and took people to clean up the scene.
After Sister Thirteen and the others finished cleaning up the scene, I waved my hand and led everyone away from there.
...
The next day, I received an Official Report.
It stated that a murder occurred yesterday on Apricot Tree Street.
According to insiders, this incident is related to Niu Sandao.
Niu Sandao has returned to Haining, ready to make his mark.
After reading the Official Report, I couldn't help but laugh.
Clearly, this assassination was attributed to Niu Sandao.
Niu Sandao is notorious in the underworld for the Assassination of the King; the number of people who have died at his hands is no less than eighty.
So even if Hu Jingtian's death was blamed on him, no one would doubt it.
"Lord Ye, congratulations!" Hou Zongchang said to me with a smile.
"What's there to celebrate?" I asked loudly on purpose.
