Chapter 56: Why

"The remnant flower sword technique of the Pomegranate Flower Palace, I have heard of it a little, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary." Xiao Chongguang smiled slightly, "However, I can still see that most of the power of the move you used just now mainly comes from the sword you hold, am I right?" โ€

When the female assassin heard this, she bowed her head and fell silent.

Sogo took the captured sword in his hand and looked at it carefully, only to see that the blade of the sword was like ice and snow, faintly cold, and on the spine of the sword, an imperceptible petal pattern was polished, and its gauntlet was directly made in the shape of a blooming lotus, and the grip was also forged from iron, and a layer of golden string was tied to it.

"Only the Luoying Sword of the Young Palace Master of the Pomegranate Flower Palace can bring the 'Luoying Colorful' of the Remnant Flower Sword Technique to the highest level, even if there is only a little power left, it can also kill the opponent."

Xiao Chongguang came to tell the name of this sword at a glance, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the woman: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the young palace master of the Pomegranate Palace has outstanding martial arts, and there are few opponents among his peers, and even many famous masters of the older generation can't make ten moves in her hands." Your martial arts skills are mediocre, and you even tried your best to urge the Luoying Sword, it is impossible to spend all the time, and this sword is probably stolen by you. โ€

"You'd better be honest about your identity and the purpose of assassinating Tiwei, otherwise," Sogo's eyes became colder, "I'll take this sword and go to your pomegranate palace to ask for your guilt." โ€

"This is my own business, I don't have to involve the Pomegranate Flower Palace," the female assassin was no longer silent, and said with some urgency, "One person does things and one person does, I am Fang Yingchun, the doorman of the Pomegranate Flower Palace, and I am the maid of the young palace master, I am here to kill you today and avenge Sun Ming!" โ€

"Sun Ming!"

Xiao Chongguang and Lu Yunsheng, including the guards present, were all taken aback, when did Sun Ming get involved with the people of the Pomegranate Flower Palace?

"It turns out that Sun Ming's swordsmanship was passed on to him by this woman."

Sogo suddenly remembered that when he arrested Sun Ming that day, he had seen him use the sword technique of the Pomegranate Palace.

"Revenge? Who are you Sun Ming? Why are you so desperate to seek revenge? Sogo asked, staring at Fang Yingchun's eyes.

"He is my lover, as early as a few years ago, I made a private agreement with him for life, he told me that after this year, he will be able to walk out of the imperial capital, take me out of the Pomegranate Palace, and go to his hometown Yongzhou together to live a dull life." That Fang Yingchun seemed to think about Sun Ming's past with him, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

The people who were present and had contact with Sun Ming couldn't help but sigh when they heard this, in fact, Sun Ming usually treats people well, loyal and diligent, no one expected that he was actually an assassin organization, a hidden stake planted in the Tiwei Mansion, so even Sogo was shocked at the beginning.

Fang Yingchun suddenly raised his head, his willow eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were round with anger, and his beautiful face became very terrifying at this moment: "But he, he died at your hands!" If I don't seek revenge on you, then who should I look for! โ€

Both Sogo and Yunsheng frowned slightly, although Sun Ming and Wang Tian both died at the hands of the assassins, but it was also because the people under their hands were not well guarded and fell into the assassin's plan before the accident, so Sun Ming's death can be regarded as an indirect cause of the Tiwei Mansion. However, tracing back to the source, it can only be said that Sun Ming himself is self-inflicted, and he can't live for his own crimes.

This matter is more complicated, this Fang Yingchun's performance, it is difficult to see whether she knows the inside story, this needs to be investigated, maybe, there will be an accident.

So, Xiao Chongguang squatted down, so that he no longer looked up high, and was more conducive to inducing the other party to tell the truth, he said: "Miss Fang, I understand your feelings very well, Sun Ming used to be our colleague, and I also want to say that I feel sorry for his death, but it's a pity that he is a secret stake sent by the assassins, even if he ยทยทยทยทยทยท."

"What!"

Fang Yingchun glared at her teary eyes and exclaimed, interrupting Sogo's next words, she looked at Sogo dead and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!" What assassin? What dark piles? What the hell are you talking about? โ€

"You really don't know?" Sogo was still skeptical, since the two of them had already sworn an alliance, how could they not tell the truth?

Fang Yingchun frowned and said, "What do I know?" What the hell is going on? Could it be that Sun Lang was killed by you, and you still want to label him as unclean? "In the end, if it weren't for the guards, she would have almost jumped up.

"In this way, you answer me first, who told you about Sun Ming's death, and I'll talk about the details."

Fang Yingchun shook his head: "I don't know him. It was the day before yesterday, I and two other sisters, followed the young palace master out of Qingzhou to travel, in the evening, I stayed in the Baiyun Tavern in Hui County, I went to the store to ask for a pot of hot water, was about to go back to the room, a tall man stopped me, he couldn't help but kneel down to me, saying that Sun Ming was killed in the imperial capital. โ€

"Then did he say who his surname is, and what is his relationship with Sun Ming?"

"He said that his name is Qian Tao, and he and Sun Ming are sworn brothers, and they also live in the Eastern Capital."

"And then? What else did he say? Sogo continued to ask.

Fang Yingchun burst into tears and said: "When I heard this bad news, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and I almost fell to the ground, so I cried and asked him how Sun Ming was killed, and he said that Sun Ming was in the Tiwei Mansion, and he had always been at odds with other people, and often came to his house to cry. โ€

"Just two days ago, he heard that Sun Ming was sentenced to cane punishment because the chief of the guard blamed him for his ineffective work, and the execution happened to be a colleague who usually doesn't get along well, and the colleague announced a personal vendetta and beat Sun Ming to death, and the chief of the guard was afraid of accepting bribes from that person, so he deliberately shielded it."

He also said that when Sun Ming was still alive, he had already told him about me, so he hurried to report it. After speaking, he handed me a fish-shaped purple jade pendant, which was the object of love I gave to Sun Lang, and I told him to wear it all the time. โ€

"When I saw this jade, I believed it, so I took advantage of the time when the young palace master was meditating and immersed in the exercises, stole her Shenfeng Luoying Sword, stole the fast horse, and drove a whole day to the imperial capital. This time, I also avenged my mortal heart to take revenge, and I have nothing to worry about. โ€

After speaking, Fang Yingchun cried again.

"Humph!"

Lu Yunsheng slammed his fist against the wall with a pale face, startling Fang Yingchun into crying.

I don't know if this punch ruined the atmosphere, or if the crying was suddenly interrupted, which was uncomfortable, Ying Chundeng immediately reprimanded angrily: "The uncomfortable person should be me now, what kind of temper do you have?" โ€

Yun Sheng ignored her, but gritted his teeth and said, "Where the hell is this traitor who is puffing out his lips and tongue!" In a few words, he described my Tiwei Mansion as a corrupt, jealous, filthy and obscene institution. Slander! This is an absolute slander! โ€

Xiao Chongguang didn't bother to care what Yunsheng complained about there, he said to the other party seriously: "Miss Fang, in this way, let's talk about the mourner first." I'm Sun Ming's boss, he's in the imperial capital, and he doesn't have any friends other than the people from the Tiwei Mansion, at least that's what our investigation says. I don't know, that person, Sun Ming himself has mentioned it to you. โ€

Fang Yingchun shook his head and said: "Because the Pomegranate Palace has rules that it is not allowed to interact with men outside at will, so in the two years that he has been in the Eastern Capital, we have not dared to communicate with each other. โ€

"Therefore, the identity of this person named Qian Tao is doubtful." Sogo raised a finger and said, "Second, according to this Qian Tao, Sun Ming died four days ago, and I can tell you responsibly that he died yesterday and was killed by an assassin, and I saw with my own eyes that his body is still in the morgue of the Tiwei Mansion." โ€

"What? Assassin killed? No way, he could have something that would provoke someone to invite an assassin to kill him. Fang Yingchun didn't believe it at all.

"Alas, I'm sorry to disappoint you, he does have a big secret," Xiao Chongguang sighed, "The assassins assassinated him to kill people. โ€

So, Xiao Chongguang told Fang Yingchun everything about Sun Ming being the secret stake of the assassin organization, how they caught him, interrogated him, and the night he was killed.

These words, for Yingchun, were more shocking than Sun Ming's death, she sat on the ground with her butt and muttered: "Why didn't he say a word to me about this?" Do you have to hide it from me? Why would he be involved in such a thing? Didn't he think about what I would do if something happened to him and left me alone? โ€

After speaking, Fang Yingchun couldn't stop crying bitterly, as if venting the pain of missing all these years and the sadness of this time.

"There is just a difference between people, some women are gentle and lovely, and some know how to cry and cry, and they really cry, make trouble, and hang themselves!"

Lu Yunsheng said with disdain in his heart, and he didn't forget to compare himself with the person in his heart.

Xiao Chongguang glanced at the door with his spare eyes, and saw that many people had gathered outside, pointing at him, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's not good, if this situation is spread out now, I don't know what a group of big men have done to her!" โ€

So he said to the two guards who were holding Fang Yingchun: "Let her go." โ€

The two of them saw that the girl in front of them was pitiful, and they wanted to let go for a long time, but because they didn't have an order, they didn't dare to act rashly.

Sogo comforted: "Miss Fang, I think Sun Ming didn't tell you what he did, precisely because he had you in his heart, he didn't want you to be afraid of him, you are innocent, he doesn't want you to be involved and put you in danger." I think he will work hard for the Assassin Order, and he must have his considerations, rest assured, this series of things, our Tiwei will definitely investigate clearly. โ€

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yingchun cried even more.

Xiao Chongguang was even more panicked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Miss Fang, please mourn, since the tragedy has happened, welcome a new life, you are still young and there is a new future waiting for you." In this way, I will take you back to Tiwei Mansion and let you go to see Sun Ming for the last time. โ€

When Yingchun heard this, he tried to stop crying and slowly stood up.

Just as everyone was about to leave, a cold voice floated in from the window: "She has no future, because there is only one way waiting for her, death!" โ€
