The three killers were trapped and unable to evacuate, worried that backup would arrive soon, so the three of them broke through and fought the trapped beasts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qingbai and Qingsong's sword moves became more and more powerful, and the three of them were already scarred, and they immediately fell to the downside, and after a while, two killers died under Qingbai Qingsong's sword, and one was desperately resisting.
Just before Qing Song swung his sword and killed him, Zhan Ying stopped with red eyes: "Slow-stay alive, I have something to ask." ”
Qing Bai's sword pointed at the man in black, and after Qing Song kicked away the sword in his hand, he kicked him in the crook of his leg, and he knelt in front of Zhan Ying.
Zhan Ying carefully put down Li Xing's corpse and turned to face the killer coldly.
"Who are you under your orders? Or to put it bluntly, who sent you to kill me? ”
The cloth covering the killer's face was ripped off, and he closed his mouth tightly and turned his face aside to not answer Zhan Ying's words.
Zhan Ying picked up the sword on the side, pressed it against his heart, and slowly pierced it, and blood oozed out of the tip of the sword.
The killer didn't even hum, he just suffered silently, Zhan Ying saw this and admired a little: "With such will and skills, if you join the army, you must be a good man on the battlefield." Tell me, who instructed you to ambush my unarmed female stream here late at night, and I will let you live if you say it, and you are just obeying people's orders. ”
The killer replied coldly: "If you want to kill, you will kill, and if the mission fails, I will die if I go back alone." ”
"You can not die, but I am still qualified to shelter you?" Jingshang said this and walked towards them from not far away.
He saw that Zhan Ying's hands were covered with blood, and his eyes were full of inquiries and concern, Zhan Ying shook his head at him.
When the killer heard that it was Wuji Mountain Villa, he quickly looked up at the green pine and cypress, first surprised, then surprised... It's from Endless Hills, so it's no wonder that they can fail their mission with just two of them.
Jing Shang said lightly again: "How is it?" Can it be said? If you can't say it, you already know who we are, and I can't keep you. There was no threat or intimidation in the tone, just a description of an ordinary matter.
The killer seemed to be weighing, did not speak, and quickly pinched his jaw at a glance, but it was too late, he had already bitten the poison hidden in his tooth sockets, and at this moment he was already poisonous, black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his body also fell crookedly.
Zhan Ying hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and Jing Shang shook his head at her: "It's useless." Zhan Ying lowered his hand and lost another chance.
The green pine and green cypress carefully searched for several corpses to see if there were any tokens or clues. Finally, a tattoo was found on the lower back.
"Seven Killings." Qing Song reported the name after reading it.
Jing Shang smiled slowly: "After so many years, there is still no benefit, how can the killer leave clues on his body." He turned to Zhan Ying and said, "You don't have to be too frustrated, since you know where you're coming, you have a way to think of it." ”
Zhan Ying said: "You don't have to think too much about it here... Since he hired the Seven Killing Pavilion, he didn't want others to find out about his head, and he definitely didn't come forward to find the Seven Killing Pavilion.
They should be the middlemen. ”
Jing Shang looked at Zhan Ying with admiration, she was really a very smart woman. "That's true, but in the absence of other clues, you can follow this clue and peel back the cocoon. There will always be clues. ”
Speaking of other clues, Zhan Ying's expression was gloomy, she looked sadly at Li Xing lying on the ground, and told Jing Shang that he saw that there was a letter from the supervisor.
Jing Shang pondered for a while: "If he has a clue there, it will be much more convenient... I have a secret account book of his corruption, which should allow him to spit out some truth. ”
Zhan Ying suddenly understood: "Did you ask him to transfer me away from the quarry?" ”
The head of the jaw on the scene. Zhan Ying said: "This can explain why he has different attitudes towards me before and after." ”
Zhan Ying entrusted Jing Shang to temporarily stop Li Xing's body in Yizhuang, and she had to go back to the camp first to ask where Li Xing's wife and children lived.
It was already late at night when he returned to the camp, so Zhan Ying could only rest first and make plans tomorrow.
On the second day, Zhan Ying was awakened by a rapid sound of gongs, and the sound of gongs was heard in the remote corners of the camp in her house, which showed that the matter was urgent.
She hurriedly got dressed and asked someone casually on the way to school: "What is the matter so urgent?" ”
"Something is wrong, it is said that the fortification supervisor was killed last night and stabbed to death in his courtyard." The man said.
"Dead?!" Zhan Ying's heart was cold, this must not be a coincidence, she was just ambushed last night, and as soon as she had a clue, the director was assassinated, and she was already sure that those letters were no longer there.
When they arrived at the school, it was bustling with people, and the chief bookkeeper told everyone that the director had died last night, and it had been handed over to the government to investigate the case. There was a commotion from everyone below. The chief bookkeeper continued: "Due to the suddenness of the incident, I will temporarily assume the position of supervisor until a new director is appointed by the imperial court. In the fortifications, everyone still does what they do on weekdays, don't delay the progress. ”
After saying this, they dispersed. Zhan Ying was also frustrated because he had broken the clue, but he immediately cheered up, and the top priority was to take care of Li Xing's funeral.
She found Tie Niu, asked him about the residence of Li Xing's wife and children, and briefly told him about last night. Tie Niu was suffocating for Li Xing's death on the one hand, and worried about Zhan Ying's safety on the other.
"Li Xing is really a person who values kindness and righteousness... but took pity on his wife and children. Tie Niu said, but seeing that Zhan Ying looked sad, he stopped.
"What my father did was nothing more than what he did as a sergeant, and he was supposed to protect the people in his position. And what Li Xing did for me, I can't pay it back anyway... ”
Tie Niu didn't know how to comfort her, so he only said that he would take her to Li Xing's house and handle Li Xing's funeral together.
Jingshang gave Zhan Ying a sum of money to settle Li Xing's wife and children and handle the funeral, Zhan Ying did not refuse, she really needed the money.
bought a coffin, placed Li Xing in the coffin in Yizhuang, and hired a flatbed truck to pull it to Li Xing's house.
Li Xing's wife Xiuyun is a virtuous and capable woman at first glance, although she was grief-stricken when she saw Li Xing's corpse, she did not mess up the aftermath at all, and treated people and things very properly. Zhan Ying couldn't help but appreciate her in her heart, and felt even more guilty about her.
After the work was over, Zhan Ying told her Li Xing's last words that she wanted her to remarry, and she shook her head with red eyes: "I do needlework, do some chores for big families, and I can also pull eggs bigger." I will let Dan'er read and give the Li family a glorious lintel. ”
Zhan Ying was in awe of this woman: "Brother Li Xing died because of me, don't worry, I will take care of you and Dan'er for the rest of my life, and repay Brother Li Xing's great kindness to me." ”
Xiuyun asked Zhan Ying not to carry too heavy a penny. Zhan Ying left the rest of the silver to Xiuyun before leaving.
