But all the wounds avoided vital parts, as if they were deliberately done for revenge. After the torture was enough, the blood vessels in the limbs were punctured, causing death by bleeding to death.

The blood flowed into a river in the alley. It was a horrible death.

Mrs. Xi's screams suddenly stopped, and then her body went limp and she lay unconscious beside Xi Wenxuan.

"lady!"

"lady!"

"Someone come quickly, call the palace doctor!"

Wei Zheng and Ning Rongzhang looked at the farce in the palace like bystanders, watching people shouting and carrying people.

Ning Rongzhang whispered, "Who killed him?"

Wei Zheng hissed, met his eyes, rubbed the goose bumps all over his body, and said, "You think I killed someone, don't you?"

Ning Rongzhang gave him a look that showed he understood, and said, "I was with Miss Ji last night, and you were alone... So you are indeed highly suspicious."

Wei Zheng was speechless.

"I don't want to bother with you." After changing his mind, he leaned forward again with eager eyes and said, "When you were together with Miss Ji...didn't anything happen?"

Ning Rongzhang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Put away that crap in your head." Then he walked back.

Wei Zheng tried to persuade him from behind, "Hey - what do you mean by a head full of crap? It's normal for a man and a woman to love each other."

The palace was in chaos for the whole morning. It was not until the afternoon when Prince Dongzhi returned from his official business outside that the entire palace gradually regained its backbone.

"what happened?"

Guan Ke followed behind the man and whispered, "He died last night, along with two servants from our palace. The murderer was cruel. The dozens of knife wounds on his body were not fatal. They were caused by someone cutting his tendons, bones and blood vessels, and cutting the skin around his neck... He died from excessive blood loss..."

If someone doesn't say that this is revenge, no one would believe it.

"Is there anyone behaving strangely in the city?" Dongzhi Wang said with his eyes closed, obviously a little tired.

Guan Ke said in a calm voice, "Still looking..."

His fingertips tapped the table, making a series of irregular sounds. "So we haven't found him yet? Keep looking. If there are any suspects, arrest them all."

Xi Wenxuan acted absurdly and relied on his family background to do evil things in Toshiba. He had warned Xi Wenxuan long ago that nothing should be excessive.

I don't know what I offended, but I was beaten to death late last night...

A maid came in from outside and said in a trembling voice, "My Lord, the lady has woken up. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Prince Dongzhi didn't say anything. Guan Ke also looked sullen and said to the maid, "You guys take good care of the lady. Your Highness will go over after you finish your business."

The maid nodded in agreement.

If we were to talk about the people who killed Xi Wenxuan, the most likely suspects would naturally be Wei Zheng and Ning Rongzhang who lived in the palace. After all, they had had conflicts between them before.

Wei Zheng lived in the palace with peace of mind, still wearing whatever he wanted and eating whatever he wanted, without any sense of being the most suspicious.

After staying in the palace for one night, Ning Rongzhang and Ji Mengshu returned to the Fulai Inn, and happened to see the knights who had been there before going out.

So he took the initiative to talk to her, "Brother Gongbo, are you going out of the city?"

Gong Bo Chong, the oldest among the three, said upon hearing this, "We are just staying in the city for a while, and now we have to hurry back to our hometown."

Ning Rongzhang took a sip of tea and said, "It may not be so easy to leave the city now. Brother Gongbo, have you heard the news? The young master of the Xi family was assassinated last night and died in an alley in the west of the city. Now the whole city is investigating it. People with such good skills like you can be the first to be suspected."

Gong Bo Chong narrowed his eyes slightly, "The three of us are just helpless people in the martial arts world. You wouldn't suspect nameless people like us, would you?"

Wei Li looked calm and said, "Forget it, Brother Gongbo, just listen to Brother Zhang... At worst, I can just come back in a few days..."

Only then did a few people give up.

Ning Rongzhang looked at the long swords wrapped tightly around the bodies of several people, and his eyes darkened.

late at night.

The Fulai Inn was closed, but the rustling sound of fireflies could be heard in the corner.

The rear window was opened and three people jumped out one after another. They were all wearing black clothes and masks, so their faces could not be seen clearly.

The three of them walked out along the back alley, with the moonlight shining on the bumpy road. In the dim moonlight, a man in dark-patterned silver-engraved brocade boots walked slowly towards them, his figure stretched out very long by the moonlight.

"Who?!" Gong Bo Chong's voice sounded low and deep, startling even the chirping of insects on the roadside into a brief silence.

Then suddenly it exploded even bigger and louder.

"I've told you long ago that leaving the city now will mean death." Ning Rongzhang's voice, as clear as water, rang out, echoing in everyone's ears.

Some people could not bear it any longer and drew their swords, but were stopped by Gong Bo Chong. "Brother, let's kill him. They are acquainted with the Xi family!"

Gong Bo Chong did not respond, but spoke to Ning Rongzhang instead, "How do you want us to trust you?"

Ning Rongzhang smiled and said, "You are trapped in this city. Sooner or later, you will be found by King Dongzhi. As the saying goes, it is darkest under the lamp. Don't you understand what this means, Brother Gongbo?"

Since they have been recognized, there is no point in wearing the veil, Gong Bo Chong thought about it. Since he has already determined that they did it, he did not report it to the police, and did not call anyone to the palace, which shows that he has no ill will towards them.

"We don't know each other. I'm afraid there are conditions for you to save people, right?" Gong Bo Chong was still unwilling to let his guard down. After all, he had several brothers who had been through life and death with him.

Ning Rongzhang smiled and said, "As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. After all, Xi Wenxuan is indeed not a good guy. You brothers have eliminated harm for the people. I want to know the origin of your assassination of Xi Wenxuan. It's that simple."

late at night.

A candle was lit in Fulai Inn.

Gong Bo Chong said worriedly, "Since Brother Zhang wants to hear it, then we might as well tell it. Just as Brother Zhang said, Xi Wenxuan is indeed not a good guy. He raped women and did all kinds of evil things. That's why we have a long-standing rift between us."

Long story.

They were originally a group of five chivalrous knights, among whom a pair formed a couple, and from then on they roamed the world happily.

It was an enviable marriage.

Later, the two traveled around the country and accidentally came to Toshiba. Their fate began to change from that moment on. Because A Yao was fair-skinned and beautiful, Xi Wenxuan, who was used to doing evil in Toshiba, fell in love with A Yao.

But A Yao has a hot temper, and she hates bullies like Xi Wenxuan who take advantage of their strength to bully the weak.

I don’t know who Xi Wenxuan heard from, but A Yao is a martial arts expert and has her husband to protect her, so she actually invited a group of experts over.
