Murder

The back door of King Lu's Mansion is not easy, and the servants and guards in the mansion have already rushed out to defend against the enemy.Sima Feng didn't take them seriously, he just wanted to break in and find Chi Yebai and Shuanghua.Behind him came the ding-ding-dong-dong sound of Yingsuo whipping his whip. He had no time to turn around, and he and Ah Si just rushed forward.

Originally, the defense of King Lu's Mansion was not that weak, but King Lu left the mansion and went to Pengyang Mansion. Because of the Jiutou Mountain Brick Kiln and the weird man who mysteriously rescued and caught him, he naturally took away the last man to prevent accidents. An elite group of people.Apart from the concubine and a group of old and weak women and children left in the palace, there is only the usual defense force.

And the dark guard, who is as strong as the elite of the palace, is being trapped by Yingsuo's nine-edged snake bone whip, unable to escape.

"Si, you rush in first!"

"Master! Cover your nose, don't breathe!" Ah Si took out several balls from his bosom, and threw them towards the crowd gathered inside and outside the back door.

The ball exploded, releasing a pungent peppery smell.

"Ah Si?!" Sima Feng couldn't hold his nose in time, and immediately burst into tears, "What, what?!"

"The few pepper balls that Gan Lingshi made before, I always carry with me..." Ah Si jumped over the stumbling crowd and rushed into the palace first.

The palace is very large, Sima Feng has been here a few times, but only as a guest, and does not know the various passages in the palace in detail.Ah Si had never been here before, and he just ran forward with a single mind. When he saw a servant rushing out, he raised his sword and chopped it down, knocking him unconscious first.The guards had already gathered outside the door at that time, they were crying from the smell of pepper balls, Sima Feng also quickly rushed into the palace.

"Go to Xiaobai first..."

He shouted at Ah Si's back.But before they finished speaking, the two of them stopped in unison.

There was a person standing in the courtyard, it was Wen Xuanzhou.

Wen Xuanzhou held a sword in his hand and silently stared at the two people who walked in.

Sima Feng recognized that this person was extremely dangerous, and immediately stood in front of Ah Si. "Four, you go elsewhere to look for it first, I'll stop him."

"You alone can't stop me, Sima Feng." Wen Xuanzhou said slowly, "That one, don't leave either."

Where did Ah Si pay attention to him, seeing the noise in a courtyard gate, he rushed there immediately.Unexpectedly, just as he took a step, he heard the whistling wind in his ears, it was Wen Xuanzhou who had thrown a hidden weapon.

His method of throwing hidden weapons is simple but fast, and in an instant he has thrown three kinds of hidden weapons in the upper, middle and lower lanes.Sima Feng wanted to stop him, but it was too late.Fortunately, Ah Si's reaction was very quick, and he jumped up immediately, and the wall under his feet jingled together.

But he was unable to jump any higher, and could only watch two thin green needles attacking his waist.

The two needles failed to get close to Ah Si's body.A piece of clothing corner suddenly flew from the oblique stab, just blocking the needle point and Ah Si.The tip of the needle pierced into the piece of cloth, followed by the castration of the piece of cloth, and fell to the ground beside it with a puff.

Chi Yebai jumped off the wall.A corner of his cuff was missing.

"Go through the courtyard gate behind me, go straight through two gates, turn left, and then turn left again. Shuanghua is imprisoned in the dungeon of the house facing south." Chi Yebai quickly said to Ah Si, " go!"

Ah Si didn't have time to thank her, so she turned and ran out.

Chi Yebai raised his head and saw Sima Feng's eyes.

"It's okay." He said calmly, "Lu Wang's mansion is nothing more than that, and no one found me lurking inside."

"...It's Master Chi's amazing tracking skills, Wen admires it." Wen Xuanzhou gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "As expected of Yingbeishe, which has a long-standing reputation in the world."

Therefore, there were three people who seemed to be very difficult to provoke. The servants and guards in the palace did not dare to step forward for a while, and all walked around with their swords raised.

"Go and protect the princess." Wen Xuanzhou said, "Someone has entered, please don't let him hold the princess hostage."

Chi Yebai was about to say that he would never kidnap a woman, but thinking that Ah Si belonged to Sima Feng, Sima Feng...he couldn't guarantee it now.

Sima Feng didn't seem to hear what Wen Xuanzhou said, and moved a few steps to Chi Yebai's side.

"...Don't come here." Chi Yebai motioned him to look at Wen Xuanzhou, "You and I should attack back and forth."

"Are you really okay?" Sima Feng asked.

Chi Yebai resisted the thought of rolling his eyes at him, flicked his feet, flipped lightly, and landed behind Wen Xuanzhou.

Wen Xuanzhou knew that today could not be good, so he held the hilt of his sword cautiously and did not strike rashly.

"Two fight against one. This is not what people in the Jianghu do." He said loudly, "Chi Dangjia and Sima Patriarch are well-known knights in the Jianghu, and they actually play such a thing of using more to win and bullying the weak?"

As soon as he finished speaking, loud laughter suddenly came from the wall: "Hahahahaha! You are a moron, and you are worthy of talking to me about what people in the world did?!"

Wen Xuanzhou's face turned pale: It wasn't two against one, but three against one? !

In a daze, Insuo had jumped over the wall and jumped in.There were bloodstains under the hem of her skirt, and she swung a heavy nine-edged snake bone whip with one hand.

"Mother!" Chi Yebai didn't expect her to be there, so he couldn't help being surprised.

Yingsuo has eaten more rice than Chi Yebai Sima Feng and others for 20 years. Everywhere in the martial arts world, the experience of fighting the enemy is much richer than that of the two young heroes.In addition, she is best at using whips, and the nine-edged snake bone whip is an extremely powerful weapon, so she quickly eliminated a group of hidden guards outside.

Now is not a good time to speak.Yingsuo looked Chi Yebai up and down, seeing that there was nothing wrong with him except for a missing piece of his cuff, he was slightly relieved.

"Mother, you and Ah Si go to rescue Shuanghua." Chi Yebai quickly said the way, "He has already set off."

"Who is Shuanghua?" Yingsuo asked.

While she was speaking, the whip in her hand suddenly flicked violently, and the tip of the whip went straight towards Wen Xuanzhou.

Wen Xuanzhou was always on guard against her weapon, so he had no choice but to dodge to avoid it.But the Snake Bone Whip's castration was strange, and when he retreated, he cut off his sleeves neatly.

Several poisoned hidden weapons fell to the ground, still shining with blue light.

Yingsuo's eyes widened, thinking that this fellow wanted to plot against him while he was talking to his son, so angry his whip flicked, and he went straight to Wen Xuanzhou's face.

The whip was coming fiercely, there was a wall behind Wen Xuanzhou, it was unavoidable, and his whole body was completely shrouded in the shadow of the whip.He suddenly opened his hand, grabbed the tip of the snake bone whip, quickly wrapped his arm around twice, and grabbed the whip in his hand.

He originally thought it was just an ordinary snake whip, but as soon as he got hold of the whip, he immediately felt the rough iron edges on it.

Before he could utter a bad word, he only heard Ying Suo's hey smile, his wrist trembled slightly, and the whip that was originally wrapped around his arm seemed to be alive, and the iron edges protruded one after another, scraping and whipping on his flesh. go back.

"Ahhh!" Wen Xuanzhou was frightened by the severe pain, and his palms could not help but loosen.

When the snake bone whip was pulled back by Yingsuo, the tip of the whip was raised even more, scraping off a large piece of flesh on Wen Xuanzhou's face.

Chi Yebai had lived with Yingsuo for more than [-] years, and this was the first time he saw Yingsuo beating someone so fiercely.The nine-edged snake bone whip was his mother's new weapon, and he had never seen it before, so he couldn't help being a little stunned for a while.And Sima Feng, who had personally tasted the power of the Nine-ripped Snake Bone Whip—even though it was not complete at the time—took two steps back, away from the whip and Yingsuo.

"Son, punish the evil and promote the good, it doesn't matter how many people there are." Insuo folded up the whip and held it in his hand, "As for the strength... When he kills or instigates others to kill, he never thinks about those women and children , are much weaker than him! Don’t reason with the wicked, he can’t reason with people when he does evil.”

Chi Yebai nodded again and again: "Yes."

Seeing Wen Xuanzhou twitching on the ground with his hands covering half of his face, Yingsuo knew that there would be no problem with Chi Yebai and Sima Feng working together, so he didn't say any more, and ran quickly along the path Chi Yebai said.

Ah Si set off earlier than her, but it took some time to find the way.Ying Suo jumped onto the roof to look around, and soon saw Ah Si.

"Si!" She caught up with Ah Si, "Who is Shuanghua?"

Ah Si was taken aback by her, and he was relieved to see someone he knew when he turned around.He pointed to the south-facing house in the courtyard: "Master Chi said that Miss Shuanghua was locked up here..."

As he said that, he rushed over and kicked open the wooden door,

The entrance to the dungeon was on the ground, and although it was covered, a little light was faintly peeking out.At the same time, Ah Si and Yingsuo heard the man's laughter from below amidst the noisy voices around them.

Ah Si's eyes were red, and he immediately bent down and opened the door to go down.

Insuo held him back.

"Si, don't go." Insuo pulled him aside, "You can't go."

"Auntie, Shuanghua..." Ah Si couldn't break free, and was so anxious that he couldn't speak smoothly, "It's not that kind...she's special..."

"I know what you're going to say." Insuo comforted him, "But don't go down, Auntie will definitely bring her up."

She paused and said softly, "You are a man, don't look at it."

Ah Si nodded silently.He watched Ying Suo leap into the dungeon, and heard the sound of fighting soon came from below.He stood in the corner, his fists clenched tightly.

It only took a moment for Yingsuo to go from going down to coming up, but Ah Si felt as if several hours had passed.

Carrying Shuanghua on her back, she walked carefully through the narrow stairs.Seeing Ah Si rushing over, Yingsuo frowned and said, "I didn't kill those dark people outside, but...it's disgusting. I killed two of them, and the rest should be seriously injured."

Ah Si didn't hear what she said clearly, and just kept staring at Shuanghua.

Shuanghua was wearing Yingsuo's coat, her eyes were half-opened, as if she saw Ah Si, but also didn't.

"How is she?" Ah Si followed closely beside Yingsuo, half bowed, always looking into Shuanghua's eyes.

"Those guys seem to know that she is the popular person in front of King Lu, and they didn't dare to really make a fuss, but they took off their clothes..."

"No, I'm asking, is she okay?" Ah Si said softly, "Why doesn't she seem to recognize me?"

He had just finished speaking when he heard Shuanghua on Yingsuo's back open his mouth and make a weak voice: "I know you... Si."

Ah Si's heart, which was hanging in the air, finally fell back to reality.

He wanted to hold Shuanghua's hand, but he didn't dare.He wanted to tell Yingsuo to let him carry it, but he was afraid that Shuanghua would feel uncomfortable, so he hesitated for a long time, and finally braved the courage to smooth out the messy hair on Shuanghua's face.

Yingsuo turned back and said, "Let's take the girl home first, see her illness, and rest up. Let's go, go ahead and find Yebai and Sima."

As she spoke, she seemed to have remembered something, she took out a silver hairpin from her bosom with one hand, and handed it to Shuanghua.

"Is it yours?" Yingsuo said softly, "This hairpin is in your hand. I saw two people with bloody holes on their faces. You pierced it with this hairpin."

Shuanghua stared at the plain silver hairpin for a moment, then whispered, "It's mine."

"Anything else?" Insel asked.The tip of the hairpin was stained with blood, and the blood condensed on the thin six-petal snow pattern on the silver hairpin.

"No more." Shuanghua frowned and whispered, "I don't know who sent it, it's already dirty."

Ah Si was taken aback, then turned to look at Shuanghua: "...you don't remember who gave it to you?"

"Hmm..." Shuanghua closed her eyes, seeming to be scared, and then said, "That man stuck a needle in my head. He pulled out the needle, but there seemed to be some things that I can't remember. You are Ah Si, but I don't know who this eldest sister is."

With her on his back, Yingsuo still walked steadily.Hearing Shuanghua's words, she smiled and said, "You don't know me, I'm Chi Yebai's mother."

Shuanghua was about to speak, Ah Si took the hairpin from Yingsuo, and asked again hesitantly: "Miss Shuanghua, you really don't remember who gave it to you?"

"Yes..." Shuanghua reluctantly opened her eyes to look at the hairpin, and asked hesitantly, "Did it come from your young master?"

Ah Si held the hairpin in his hand and said in a low voice no.

He smiled at Shuanghua in relief, and put the hairpin into his arms: "It's okay if you can't remember, as long as you are safe."

Shuanghua also didn't seem to care, and put his head on Yingsuo's shoulder feebly: "Who is that late... who is it?"

"Shuanghua...should be dead already?" Hearing that Yingsuo had left, Wen Xuanzhou lay on the ground and laughed out loud, "There are many ways to torture a woman, and the one she went through is another Pleasure and pain - ouch!"

He opened his mouth wide and struggled on the ground like a thirsty fish.

Sima Feng's long sword pierced through his shoulder blades, pierced deeply into the mud below him, and nailed his whole body there.

Wen Xuanzhou panted heavily, and laughed hoarsely, "Actually...what's the use of you looking for me?"

He raised his head and stared at Sima Feng with difficulty: "Who did I kill... What about your evidence... It's just, it's just a few more words with those murderers. What did I do wrong?"

Before Sima Feng could open his mouth, he went straight on: "You investigate the case... you don't talk about the evidence... and you claim to be a famous criminal family, it's really funny..."

He coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, endured the pain on his face and hands, and laughed loudly.

Chi Yebai and Sima Feng looked at each other.

What Wen Xuanzhou said makes sense.

But Sima Feng flicked the sword and saw Wen Xuanzhou trembling in pain, so he also said softly: "Mr. Wen, you may have made a mistake."

Wen Xuanzhou gasped from the pain, and managed to listen carefully.

"What you said is the government's rules for handling cases, and our rules for handling cases. But we don't discuss this with you now. You are from the Jianghu, and Xiaobai and I are also from the Jianghu. If the Jianghu people want to avenge their hatred, it is not a case investigation." .”

Chi Yebai stood a little further away because he felt sick looking at the blood stains on the floor and Wen Xuanzhou's mangled face.He was a little surprised when he heard Sima Feng say this, but also found it a little funny.You Qi couldn't help but slightly nodded his head when the man turned his head back to show him begging for praise.

Wen Xuanzhou was lying on the ground, unable to move, and even the laughter gradually disappeared.

That's right, Sima Feng is no one to talk to you about the rules.He thought viciously, this guy has deviated from the laws of nature and ethics by mixing with men. Do you still expect him to abide by the rules of the world with you?Jianghu people, or to be more precise, people with a bit of power in the Jianghu people, the word "reason" is tossed around, no matter what, they are all right.

Pain in his arms, shoulders, and face drilled into his bones, sucking his strength.Yingsuo's whip is very cruel, and Sima Feng's sword is also unceremonious.But after the most severe period of pain, Wen Xuanzhou gradually came back to his senses.

Sima Feng was lying.

He suddenly thought of a trick: since Sima Shijia and Ying Beishe had already set their sights on King Lu, they naturally knew that the person behind him must be King Lu.It is reasonable for Ying Beishe to pay attention to the Shenying Camp to collect information, but why did the Sima family pay attention to the Shenying Camp and the Shenying Policy? It must be because of the imperial court's order that they will be involved in this case that has nothing to do with them .

Since it was ordered by the imperial court, it is not enough to kill Wen Xuanzhou—even Wen Xuanzhou cannot die.As long as he hasn't revealed what plans and to what extent King Lu behind him has plans, he will never die.

But he immediately thought that King Lu had gone to the government now.On the contrary, the government is safe, because today's son also transported property to the old King Lu's Condor Eagle camp back then. It is absolutely impossible for him to disclose such a dirty and secret matter to the world.

The more pain Wen Xuanzhou felt, the faster he thought.

In this short quarter of an hour, he already knew that he would not die, and he would not die under the so-called rules of the world.He must be alive, because the court, because the current emperor still needs to dig out King Lu's purpose from him, who knows the most things.

Is King Lu plotting rebellion?Did King Lu rebuild the Shenying Camp, just like his father, in a vain attempt to build a special army under his complete control? Whether it is true or not is all up to Wen Xuanzhou.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became.

As expected, he was still in control of all this: besides his own life and death, there was also the life and death of King Lu, and even the life and death of people like Sima Liangren and Sima Feng.

It's all on Wen Xuanzhou's tongue!

He was so happy, the previous feeling of anger and frustration was swept away, even the sharp pain in his shoulder couldn't stop him from laughing wildly.

Sima Feng and Chi Yebai were communicating with each other silently, when they heard Wen Xuanzhou laugh wildly, they were both startled.

"Acupoint acupuncture." Chi Yebai frowned and said, "It's ugly."

Sima Feng quickly touched Wen Xuanzhou's acupuncture points.

"Take him back?" Sima Feng asked, "Bring him back to my house, or somewhere else?"

Chi Yebai thought for a while and said, "Bring it directly to Shen Zhengyi."

Sima Feng was taken aback: "Take it to the government?"

Chi Yebai smiled and said: "If I'm not mistaken, your father must be rushing to the government right now. The imperial court entrusted the Sima family to investigate the Shenying Policy, but the Shenying Policy is such a confidential matter, whether it can be found out or not, it is impossible to find out. Very dangerous."

Sima Feng understood: "Father went to the government to save our family. How to save?"

"It depends on how he tells Shen Guangming and his brother about it." Chi Yebai said.

Wen Xuanzhou couldn't make a sound, but a strong uneasiness arose in his heart again.

Sima Liangren never seemed to be in his plans, never under his control.

At this time, Sima Liangren was reining in his horse and stopped in the middle of the avenue in front of the official gate.

He came all the way on the horse, just in time to see the official on the horse and was about to leave, the two met face to face.

"Master Shen, Xiaomin has something important to report."

Sima Liangren remembered that this Lord Shen Zhengyi seemed to be known by Sima Feng and Chi Yebai.Those two people had a very good relationship with Mr. Shen's elder brother, but Mr. Shen was so rigid that he was almost dull, because the two of them had a good relationship with their elder brother, so they didn't like these two families very much.Sima Liang felt that this person was decent. Although he was dumb, he was better than dumb. He liked dealing with dumb and decent people.

"Let's talk about it when you come back, Hero Sima." Shen Zhengyi hurriedly cupped his hands on the horseback, "Something happened to the Jiutou Mountain brick kiln, and I was going to have a look. Your matter over there is not as important as this."

"My lord, what I want to report to you happens to have a lot to do with the series of casualties at the Jiutou Mountain Brick Kiln." Sima Liangren said with a smile, "I'm going to make a long story short, my lord, please wait."
