1401: Assassination of Wei Ci (1)
"What is Lang Jun doing looking at the concubine like this?"
The bride's face was full of red light, and her moist black eyes had a palpitating glimmer, so that Liu Zhao couldn't help but look away shyly.
"Madame, it was a beautiful night. Liu Zhao was a little uncomfortable, "...... The most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life. ”
Surrounded by red candles, Liu Zhao glanced at the gourd containing the liquor, which was divided into two, the melon stalks were connected by red threads, and a sake was held on each side. He swallowed unnaturally, and with a slight crampedness, invited his new wife to drink with him.
"The hour is getting late...... Madame, why don't you drink the wine first, and go to bed early......"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shy flush spread from his neck upwards, crawling to the roots of his ears and forehead, and a little sweat broke out.
The bride sitting opposite smiled reservedly, her voice gentle and shy, "Listen to Lang Jun." ”
The two of them reached out and picked up half of the gourd, tilting their upper bodies slightly, seemingly simple movements, but Liu Zhao was so nervous that even his fingers were trembling.
"Drink, drink......" Liu Zhao grabbed his sleeve crampedly, and glanced at the bed behind the screen, "Madame, why don't you rest?"
The bride chuckled and nodded, and Liu Zhao seemed to be greatly encouraged, and stepped forward to pick her up.
Fortunately, the wife in his arms is not heavy, otherwise Liu Zhao may not be able to hold it.
It didn't take long for the sound of clothes slipping off in the cave room, as well as the slightly ambiguous subtle movement of the newcomer. Eating the marrow and knowing the taste, Liu Zhao opened meat for the first time, obviously didn't know what "moderation" was, and tossed for a long time before holding the soft body in his arms and preparing to rest.
The two newcomers hadn't slept for long, and there were bursts of hurried and panicked footsteps outside, which woke up Liu Zhao, who had just fallen asleep.
"Madame go to bed first, I'll go and see. ”
Liu Zhao comforted his newlywed wife, took the outer curtain hanging on the side, draped it on his body and got up to open the door.
"Don't you see what day it is tonight?" Liu Zhao was sleepy and tired at this time, his temper naturally couldn't be controlled, and he was called out on the wedding night, not to mention how aggrieved he was, "What happened? If it's not a big deal, Ming'er will settle accounts with you-"
The servant hurriedly said, "Lang Jun, something big has happened. ”
"What's the big deal?"
Liu Zhao was a little sober at this moment, and a hint of ominous premonition flashed in his heart.
The servant was so anxious that he said the news quickly, so frightened that Liu Zhao didn't feel sleepy.
Wei Ci was assassinated, and his body was dumped at the mouth of the alley......
Liu Zhao's legs softened when he heard this, who Wei Ci was, and he knew how much in his heart.
"Man, man dead, who assassinated him?"
Liu Zhao didn't dare to think about his sister's expression now.
Where can the servant make it clear, everyone in Maruzhou knows that he is one of the henchmen of the Lanting Gong, but he didn't expect to be assassinated on the wedding night of the Lanting Gong's brother, covered in blood and thrown at the mouth of the alley less than half a street away from Liu Zhao's mansion, who would have expected this?
Liu Zhao remembered that he was on fire, hurriedly went back to his room to change into a regular dress, and told his wife's dowry maid to take care of her before leaving.
"Prepare the car, go to Mr. Weici's house!"
When Liu Zhao arrived, there were many people patrolling near Wei Ci's mansion, and the mansion was brightly lit.
"Sister, Mr. Wei—"
Liu Zhao was not hindered, and when he arrived at the main hall of Wei Ci's mansion, he found that there were many acquaintances sitting or standing inside. Ninety percent of Jiang Pengji's henchmen were present, and those who were not present were also shining in other states and counties, devoting their limited energy to unlimited work.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Pengji heard the movement and raised her eyes to look at him, "Don't accompany the newcomer in the new house, what are you doing here?"
When Liu Zhao saw Jiang Pengji's appearance, he was shocked, and his right leg that had just stepped out was frozen in the door.
"Sister, I heard that Mr. Wei was assassinated - the younger brother just came to take a look, and the murderer was caught?"
Jiang Pengji stood in the hall, with long hair and a shawl, except for a wide outer robe covered with a shoulder, and only a crescent white bedrobe inside.
The bedclothes were stained red with human blood, and although most of the blood had coagulated and slowly turned from bright red to deep red, it still gave people a strong visual impact. Liu Zhao knew in his heart who this blood was, either it was the assassin who assassinated Wei Ci, or it was Wei Ci himself.
"The murderer? ”
Jiang Pengji was holding the God Slashing Knife in her arms, her expression was extremely cold, her eyes were clearly black and white, and she was stunned to give people the illusion of blood. Liu Zhao could feel some kind of aura called "killing intent" from afar, which frightened him to the cold hairs on his back.
"Mr. Nawei...... Sister...... Condolences ......"
Liu Zhao cautiously tiptoed into the house, found a relatively safe corner and sat down, not daring to come to Jiang Pengji to find a smoke.
Jiang Pengji in this state, she can make people split up with a slap.
Liu Zhao didn't want to let her be widowed just after marrying his wife.
Jiang Pengji said coldly, "What kind of mourning, people are not dead yet!"
Liu Zhao's eyes lit up.
People didn't die?
Then why did the servant say that Wei Ci was assassinated and thrown away?
After a while, Lang Zhong came over with a medical box on his back to resume his life. The wound on Wei Ci's body is not fatal, but the blood loss is serious, if Jiang Pengji hadn't found it early and let him bleed for more than half an hour, this little life would not have been able to be picked up, and now he is lucky to pick up a life.
"Who is so vicious?" Mr. Yuanjing said angrily, "This is clearly to put filial piety and death!"
The owners of the surrounding residences are all high-ranking members of Marushu, and the outside is heavily guarded, and there are patrols every quarter of an hour.
After Wei Ci was assassinated, he was left at the entrance of the alley, not long after the last patrol left, and there was still a quarter of an hour before the next patrol.
When the patrol officers found Wei Ci, they were afraid that the corpse was cold.
Everyone didn't investigate why Jiang Pengji was the first to discover Wei Ci, even if she did, she wouldn't say anything in detail.
"Sir, it's not too early, I will send someone to keep an eye on the affairs of Zixiao, and I will inform Mr. as soon as I catch the murderer. ”
Jiang Pengji persuaded Mr. Yuanjing to go back to his house to rest first, after all, he was old, and Jiang Pengji was reluctant to let him stay up late.
Wei Ci has her to keep an eye on here, and the so-called murderer will not dare to come again.
Nope-
There may not be a murderer at all.
Jiang Pengji returned to her house after sending Wei Ci back to the mansion, and just after taking a shower and changing her bedclothes, she found that Wei Ci had left the mansion.
It didn't take long for her to find that Wei Ci's life aura was declining abnormally, and she immediately killed her with the God Slashing Knife.
From beginning to end, except for Wei Ci, who was lying in a pool of blood, and the iron-eating beast that was squatting at his feet, she didn't find the breath of the second person. When Jiang Pengji saw Wei Ci's appearance, she suddenly had the illusion of falling into an ice cellar, as if her blood was about to condense frost.
The Iron Eater quickly crawled to her feet, hugging her legs and screaming.
Jiang Pengji tore the sleeves of her bedgown into strips of cloth, quickly stopped the bleeding urgently for Wei Ci, carried him back, and called Lang Zhong over.
The people who heard the news came one after another, and everyone was frightened by this incident.
Liu She was late, and as soon as he appeared, Jiang Pengji's knife-like eyes threw at him.
