One Thousand Four Hundred and One: Wei Ci's Assassination (1)

"What is Lang Jun looking at my concubine like this?"

The bride's face was full of red light, and her moist and black eyes had a palpitating gleam, which made Liu Zhao shyly look away.

"Madam is very beautiful tonight." Liu Zhao said uncomfortably, "...the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life."

Surrounded by red candles flickering, Liu Zhao glanced at the paw melon filled with the wine. The paw melon was divided into two, the handles of the melon were connected by a red line, and each side contained a piece of sake. He swallowed unnaturally, and slightly embarrassedly invited the newly appointed wife to have a drink with him.

"It's getting late...Madam, why don't you drink wine first, take off your clothes and go to bed early..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shy blush spread from his neck to his ears and forehead, and a little sweat broke out.

The bride sitting across from her smiled reservedly, her voice was soft and shy, "Listen to my lord."

The two stretched out their hands to pick up half of the papaya, and tilted their upper body slightly. This seemingly simple movement made Liu Zhao so nervous that even his fingers were trembling.

"Drink, finished drinking..." Liu Zhao clutched his sleeves awkwardly, glanced at the bed behind the screen, "Madam, why don't you rest?"

The bride smiled and nodded, Liu Zhao seemed to be greatly encouraged, and stepped forward to hug her.

Fortunately, the wife in his arms is not heavy, otherwise Liu Zhao might not be able to hug her.

Not long after, there was the rustling sound of clothes slipping off in the bridal chamber, as well as the slightly ambiguous movements of the couple. Knowing the taste, Liu Zhao is eating meat for the first time, obviously doesn't know what "temperance" is, and after a long time, he hugs the soft body in his arms and prepares to rest.

The two newlyweds hadn't slept for a long time, and the sound of hurried and flustered footsteps suddenly came from outside, waking Liu Zhao who had just fallen asleep.

"Ma'am go to bed first, I'll go and have a look."

Liu Zhao appeased his new wife, took the cloak hanging on the side, put it on his body and got up to open the door.

"Don't you see what day it is tonight?" Liu Zhao is sleepy and tired at the moment, and naturally he can't control his temper. Don't mention how wronged he was when he was called out on his wedding night, "What happened? What if it's not a big deal?" Things, I will settle accounts with you tomorrow—"

The servant hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, something important has happened."

"What's the big deal?"

Liu Zhao is a little sober now,

An ominous premonition flashed in my heart.

The servant was so anxious that he spoke the news quickly, and Liu Zhao was so frightened that he lost all sleepiness.

Wei Ci was assassinated and his body was thrown at the alley...

Liu Zhao's legs softened when he heard that, he knew who Wei Ci was.

"People, people are dead? Who assassinated them?"

Liu Zhao no longer dared to think about her elder sister's expression now.

Where did the servant make it clear? Everyone in Maruzhou knew that he was one of Lord Lanting's confidantes. He never expected that he would be assassinated on the night of the wedding of Lord Lanting's concubine. Mouth, who could have predicted this?

Liu Zhao remembered getting angry, and hurried back to the room to change into ordinary clothes. Before leaving, he told his wife's dowry maid to take good care of her.

"Prepare the car, go to Mr. Wei Ci's house!"

When Liu Zhao arrived, there were many people patrolling around Wei Ci's mansion, and the mansion was brightly lit.

"Sister, Mr. Wei—"

Liu Zhao was not stopped, and when he arrived at the main hall of Wei Ci's mansion, he found many acquaintances sitting or standing inside. Ninety percent of Jiang Pengji's confidantes 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 raised her eyes to look at him when she heard the movement, "I'm not in the new house to accompany the new couple, why come here to join in the fun?"

Seeing Jiang Pengji's appearance, Liu Zhao was startled, her right leg froze inside the door.

"Sister, I heard that Mr. Wei was assassinated—my little brother just came over to have a look. Has the murderer been caught?"

Jiang Pengji stood in the hall, with long hair draped over her shoulders, except for a large outer robe covering her shoulders, she was only wearing crescent white pajamas.

The pajamas were stained red with human blood. Although most of the blood had solidified and slowly turned from bright red to deep red, it still gave people a strong visual impact. Liu Zhao knew whose blood belonged to him, either it belonged to the assassin who assassinated Wei Ci, or it belonged to Wei Ci himself.

"The murderer? Not caught."

Jiang Pengji was holding the Zhanshen Dao in her arms, her expression was particularly gloomy and cold, her eyes were clearly black and white, giving people the illusion of being bloody. Liu Zhao could feel a certain aura called "killing intent" from far away, which made the hairs on his back stand up in fright.

"Mr. Wei... Sister... my condolences..."

Liu Zhao cautiously entered the room on tiptoe, found a relatively safe corner and took a seat, not daring to get close to Jiang Pengji for a drink.

With Jiang Pengji in this state, a single slap from her could tear apart a corpse.

Liu Zhao didn't want to make her a widow just after marrying her.

Jiang Pengji said coldly, "What kind of condolences are there, the person is not dead yet!"

Liu Zhao's eyes lit up.

People are not dead?

Then why did the servant say that Wei Ci was assassinated and thrown to the alley?

After a while, the doctor came back with a medical kit on his back. The wound on Wei Ci's body was not fatal, but the blood loss was serious. If Jiang Pengji hadn't discovered it early and made him bleed for an extra quarter of an hour, this little life would not have been recovered.

"Who is so vicious?" Mr. Yuan Jing said angrily, "This is clearly to put Zi Xiao to death!"

The owners of the surrounding residences are high-level people in Maruzhou, and the external guards are relatively strict, and there are people patrolling every quarter of an hour.

After Wei Ci was assassinated, he was thrown at the entrance of the alley. It happened not long before the last patrol left, and there was still a quarter of an hour before the next patrol.

When the patrol personnel found Wei Ci, the body might be cold.

Everyone didn't investigate why Jiang Pengji was the first to discover Wei Ci, even if they did, she wouldn't go into details.

"Sir, it's getting late. I'll send someone to watch over Zixiao's affairs. If I catch the murderer, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Jiang Pengji persuaded Mr. Yuan Jing to go back home to rest, after all, he was considered old, and Jiang Pengji couldn't bear him to stay up late.

It's good that Wei Ci has her watching over here, the so-called murderer will not dare to come again.

No--

Maybe there is no murderer that everyone thinks.

After Jiang Pengji sent Wei Ci back to the mansion, she returned to her home, just after taking a shower and changing her pajamas, she found that Wei Ci had left the mansion.

Not long after, she noticed that Wei Ci's breath of life was dropping abnormally, and she immediately killed him with the Zhanshen Saber.

From the beginning to the end, except for Wei Ci, who was lying in a pool of blood, and the iron-eating beast squatting at his feet, she didn't find the second person's breath. Seeing Wei Ci's appearance, Jiang Pengji suddenly had the illusion of falling into an ice cellar, as if her blood was about to condense into frost.

The iron-eating beast quickly crawled to her feet, holding her leg and whimpering non-stop.

Jiang Pengji tore the sleeves of her pajamas into strips, quickly stopped Wei Ci's bleeding, carried him back, and called the doctor over.

People who heard the news came one after another, and everyone was frightened by this incident.

Liu She came late, and as soon as he appeared, Jiang Pengji threw her knife-like eyes at him.
