Pingjin Hou Mansion, Xue Changqing slowly wiped away the fresh and sticky blood on his hands. And lying under his feet was a woman's corpse twisted in a strange posture.
Cheng Wen recognized this face, the seventeenth mother of the assassin. It's just that the gorgeous and ruthless face was covered with a layer of ashen death at this time, with bleeding from the mouth and nose, and he couldn't rest in peace.
"The witnesses and physical evidence collected by Jin Yiwei are on the way, and they will arrive at Yingtian Mansion in a few days." Xue Changqing threw the blood-stained handkerchief aside, and said to a burly man with twisted muscles and a hulking waist kneeling in the room , "Kill them all, but if you leave one alive, Shi Qi Niang's fate is your tomorrow!"
His eyes were gloomy, and there was a strong murderous look in his words. Even such a burly man could not lift his head due to his aura, so he just bowed his head and said, "Yes, master!"
"And you, you have done a good job these days, and you are loyal to the Xue family, and you can see it." Xue Changqing stared at Cheng Wen coldly, "Sooner or later, Jin Yiwei will find out about Yeyun Villa. To ensure nothing goes wrong, the account books It will be given to you and Zhang Jinhe for safekeeping. As for your mother, there is no need to worry, Zhang Jinhe will 'do your filial piety' for you every step of the way, and you can rest assured to do the tasks I entrusted to you!"
How could Cheng Wen fail to recognize the threat in Xue Changqing's words? Panic flashed across his face, and he hurriedly stated: "Cheng Wen swears to follow Lord Hou!"
It is only when a person has a weakness that he can control it. Xue Changqing was very satisfied with his reaction, nodded and said: "Once this turmoil is over, this Marquis will arrange your marriage with Wan Qing, and I will surely send you to a successful career in the future."
"Yes! On top of the court, you still have to rely on Lord Hou's respect!" Cheng Wen bowed his hands and saluted, and the sneer in his eyes was covered by his wide sleeves
? It was already night when Jiang Yan returned home from the Imperial College, Jiang Yan was so busy that she forgot to eat dinner, but her mood was never more relaxed than before.
Holding the sesame cakes she bought along the way from the street in her hand, she pushed the door open and walked in while humming an unknown song. Across the courtyard, you can see candles lit in the small and warm hall, which must have been lit by Mrs. Dou before she left.
The two Jinyi guards escorted her home and left, Jiang Yan turned around and locked the door, walked across the cobblestone path with a swing, passed through a few green bamboos in the small courtyard, was about to step up the steps, and suddenly saw a The stone flew towards her with a whistling sound, and landed at her feet with a bang.
Jiang Yan turned around immediately, but the dark courtyard was empty, and she didn't know where the stone came from.
"Who?!" Just as she was alert, another small stone landed at her feet, impartial and very accurate.
Now Jiang Yan saw it clearly, the pebble flew down from the eaves, and the voice of the instigator came from the eaves above his head, revealing the coolness of the night, "Why did you come back so late?"
Fu Li? !
Hearing this voice, all Jiang Yan's vigilance was instantly relaxed, and she was even more delighted. She immediately ran back to the courtyard biting the sesame cake, looked up, and saw that Fu Li was wearing a neat brocade jacket, without an official hat, sitting on the eaves of Jiang Yan's house with one leg flat and the other bent. Due to the lack of stars tonight, his outline became a black silhouette, and he seemed a little lonely for some reason.
"I went back to the Imperial Collegebut you, what are you doing on the roof of my house?"
"Look at the stars."
"Are your eyes okay? The moon is covered by dark clouds today, where are the stars?" Jiang Yan swallowed the last bite of cake with a smile, looked around, opened her arms towards Fu Li on the roof and said, "Take me up, I will accompany you you together."
Fu Li held Xiuchun Dao in his arms, teasing in his cold voice: "Come up by yourself."
Jiang Yan rolled her eyes, went to one side of the courtyard wall to fiddle with for a while, and moved a bamboo ladder with great effort. Unexpectedly, just after the ladder was set up, Fu Li, who was still resting his time, couldn't be idle anymore. A rabbit falcon fell to the ground, wrapped around Jiang Yan's waist with one hand, turned onto the courtyard wall, and walked quickly along the courtyard wall. Take a few steps and sit her on the roof.
The sudden weightlessness made Jiang Yan's heart beat wildly, and she could still feel the reassuring strength of Fu Li's restraint on her waist. She sat among the cold and hard rubble, with the deep night sky within reach above her head, feeling the cool wind passing by her ears, she finally recovered from the discomfort of weightlessness, stared at Fu Li and said: " Didn¡¯t you tell me to come up by myself? The ladders have been moved, why are you hugging me again?¡±
"That's what happened just now, I just want you to say something nice to me." Across the hazy night, Fu Li's handsome and deep silhouette seemed to be more beautiful than usual. He frankly accepted Jiang Yan's slap in the face, sat down with his knees bent beside her, and said in a firm tone, "Ayan is in a good mood today."
"Yeah, very good. I didn't like Cen Siye very much before, I always thought he was too rigid and serious, but until today I understand: it turns out that he has always treated usIt refreshes the body and mind.
No one thought that the accident happened at this time.
In the darkness, out of the corner of Fu Li's eye, he caught a cold light behind the opposite roof - people who practice martial arts are most sensitive to this cold refraction! The smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help froze, he sensed the danger almost immediately, he said "be careful", and pushed Jiang Yan away!
With a bang, the arrow came through the air unexpectedly!
Before Jiang Yan realized what happened, she was pushed by Fu Li and fell on her back. Almost at the same time, a feathered arrow flew past her nose, and she lost her balance for a moment, and immediately rolled down the eaves screaming!
"Jiang Yan!" Fu Li stepped on the rubble and ran quickly, grabbing Jiang Yan's hand just as she was about to fall from the eaves.
The huge inertia of the fall caused Jiang Yan's wrist to ache, almost dislocated and broken! She clenched her teeth and let out a muffled grunt, her body dangling in mid-air, trembling and looking up, Fu Li's eyes were full of fear, the veins on her neck swelled, and her usually clear and steady voice trembled, saying a word After a pause, he said, "Hold on to me!"
After finishing speaking, he yelled towards his residence: "There are assassins! Where is Dou Zheng?!"
The assassin who was hiding in the shadow of the roof across the street still didn't give up, and several more arrows flew in, all of which took the lives of the two of them! Fu Li shrank his pupils, turned over and rolled down the eaves to avoid the two arrows, quickly adjusted his posture in mid-air, and protected Jiang Yan in his arms!
At the same time, the captain of Jin Yiwei, who was on duty in Fuli's mansion, was alarmed and rushed over with his knife.
There was a muffled bang, and the two hugged each other and fell into the courtyard. Although Fu Li protected her very well, Jiang Yan was still so shocked that the back of her head and the base of her nose ached, and she felt a strong sense of weightlessness and the shock of life and death. It made her hold her breath, only staring, her throat seemed to be choked and unable to breathe. Fu Li turned over with difficulty, patted Jiang Yan's cheek, and said in a panic, "Ayan, are you okay? Ayan!"
That slap awakened Jiang Yan's sanity. She coughed violently several times, opened her mouth and panted heavily, and before she could recover, she got up from Fu Li's arms and asked in horror, "Does it hurt you? Okay? Does it hurt?"
Fu Li didn't speak, but just stared at her with some obvious fear in his eyes. He hugged Jiang Yan suddenly, and hugged him tightly with his whole body, breathing slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "It doesn't hurt, it's good that you're fine."
Jiang Yan had lingering fears, her eyes were flushed, and she hugged Fu Li back with trembling hands.
A quarter of an hour later, in Qianhu's mansion.
Dou Zheng presented a bow and arrow, bowed his head and said to Fu Li: "The assassin ran away, and his subordinates neglected their duties, so they only picked up this thing at the corner of the opposite street."
Fu Li took the bow and arrow and stroked it, then asked in a deep voice, "Can you see the assassin's appearance clearly?"
Dou Zhengdao: "It was dark, I didn't see clearly, only one of them was about seven feet tall, and the other was very burly, definitely over nine feet in length."
"Assassination" I don't know what to think of, Fu Li's eyes turned cold, and he said quickly, "Immediately send people to meet Liu Zongqi, who is thoroughly investigating the private salt case, and make sure they come back alive to collect evidence!"
However, this order was half a step too late. On the first day of August, Liu Zongqi and other seven Jinyiwei who had returned from collecting evidence were attacked. They fell down the cliff with their evidence, and none survived.
