At night, there were few outsiders walking in the Assassin's Mansion.

As soon as Qiu Pengyun, who had been busy outside for a day, returned to the mansion, he was called by Qiu Yoshisheng's personal maid, saying that Qiu Yoshisheng was sick.

As soon as he heard this, Qiu Pengyun immediately went with the visitor to check on Qiu Yoshisheng's condition.

As soon as he entered the house, the anxious Qiu Pengyun saw Qiu Jisheng lying on the bed alone, seemingly ill.

Seeing this, Qiu Pengyun didn't dare to think about it, so he immediately walked quickly in front of Qiu Jisheng.

When I walked here, I saw Akiyoshikatsu's ruddy face and slightly closed eyes, which did not look like a seriously ill person at all.

Needless to say, this Akiyoshi Katsu must be repeating his old tricks again. It is true that he is seriously ill, and it is true that he lured Qiu Pengyun to accompany him under the pretense of illness.

The courage of these slaves and maids is getting bigger and bigger, and they dare to teach Akiyoshi Katsu to deceive the old man, which is really unreasonable.

Seeing Qiu Pengyun's serious expression, he seemed to be furious.

When the maidservants saw this, they fell to their knees and begged for forgiveness. Unexpectedly, Qiu Pengyun was not in the mood to punish them, so he just reprimanded them a few words and took Qiu Yoshikatsu to dinner.

Unexpectedly, this meal turned out to be the "last supper" between their father and son.

During this period, Qiu Yoshikatsu smirked and said to Qiu Pengyun: "Father, you should never leave me, without you, I can't live!" ”

Qiu Pengyun on the side had no intention of eating at all, but now when he heard Qiu Jisheng's words, his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Daddy will always be with you until you get old!"

After speaking, Qiu Pengyun secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. But Akiyoshi Katsu didn't know about it, and still happily ate the delicious meal.

In fact, each of us knows it very well in our hearts. No matter who you are, you can't be by your side forever, this is human nature. The only one who can be inseparable from you all the time is yourself. Life is destined to be a lonely journey.

However, Akiyoshi Katsu was unable to realize this natural law, and in his heart, he still naively thought that his parents could really accompany him through this rugged and bumpy life.

At the same time, Mo Tonglu and Fang Zeqing's actions also unfolded.

Seeing that a figure was rapidly approaching them in the hazy night, the officers and soldiers of the government immediately asked loudly what the person wanted to do, but the man remained silent.

It wasn't until Fang Zeqing, who was dressed in night clothes and covered his face with a black cloth, appeared in front of everyone alone, and then pulled out the steel knife hidden behind him, that the officers and soldiers realized that this person was not good, and then they fought with him.

Because Fang Zeqing, who was born in the common people, didn't know any fighting skills at all, as for those exquisite martial arts moves, it was impossible to talk about them. Therefore, when Fang Zeqing was fighting with others, he only relied on brute force, so he could only take the knife in his hand and slash at the enemy in front of him.

And this was exactly what Mo Tonglu, who was acting almost at the same time, did not expect, because Mo Tonglu had previously asked Fang Zeqing if he had practiced martial arts.

Unexpectedly, Fang Zeqing, who was eager for revenge, was afraid that Mo Tonglu would find someone else after learning that he didn't know martial arts, which would cause him to miss the opportunity for revenge, so he lied to Mo Tonglu that he was competent, but he didn't know that his seemingly innocuous lie was likely to put himself and Mo Tonglu at a disadvantage.

Sure enough, after several battles with the officers and soldiers outside the gate of the mansion, Fang Zeqing was captured because of physical exhaustion, but Mo Tonglu, who was in the backyard, did not know about this situation.

Originally, if Fang Zeqing had shared the troops in the palace for Mo Tonglu, he might have to fight with Mo Tonglu's martial arts, but now that Fang Zeqing has been captured by the officers and soldiers, Mo Tonglu's advantage will be lost. Although Mo Tonglu thought of a lot of ways to save it, he was already lacking in skills.

And Qiu Pengyun has already seen through Mo Tonglu's strategy, a large number of government soldiers are rushing towards him, it seems that Mo Tonglu is unable to escape this time, so Mo Tonglu simply fought with everyone in the backyard. Because Qiu Pengyun strictly ordered him to stay alive, they never killed Mo Tonglu.

Although Mo Tonglu has been fighting to the death, he was finally defeated by the fierce siege of all the officers and soldiers in the palace, and he was about to be captured by them.

Mo Tonglu saw that he was already in a catastrophe, so he decided to make a desperate bet.

I saw that he rushed towards Qiu Pengyun a few meters away without hesitation, and seeing Mo Tonglu's blade quickly stabbing towards Qiu Pengyun's heart, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but it was too late.

At this critical juncture, Qiu Jisheng suddenly appeared in front of Qiu Pengyun and blocked this fatal blow for him, and Mo Tonglu was also corrected on the spot in the process.

When Qiu Pengyun saw the true face of the two of them one after another, he felt that this matter was not simple, so he decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.

As soon as this incident happened, Qiu Pengyun immediately reminded him of the night attack incident a few days ago, and the scene of that night made him still remember it vividly until this time.

But because the people who committed the murder that night also covered their faces with cloth and did not see their true faces, Qiu Pengyun did not dare to make a conclusion for a while. And the top priority now is not to track down the real culprit, but to do everything possible to save Akiyoshi's net worth. However, although Qiu Pengyun ordered someone to try his best to treat Akiyoshi Katsu afterwards, Akiyoshi Katsu still died because of his injuries.

For this reason, Qiu Pengyun was furious and immediately decided to let Fang Zeqing accompany his beloved son to the funeral.

However, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty at that time, Fang Zeqing did not die for his crimes, at most he ended up with a distribution and a reinforced.

Thinking of this, Qiu Pengyun couldn't help but burst into tears, but while crying and crying, Qiu Pengyun laughed again, because he thought of a solution to the problem, and he was going to send someone to the prison to suggest that Fang Zeqing committed suicide by taking poison.

This poison is colorless and odorless, and it is a kind of *, and the symptoms of poison are very similar to death from a violent disease, so it is not easy to be detected.

In this way, you can have the best of both worlds. However, this is not without risk, and once discovered, it is likely that the official position will be lost or even his life will be lost.

But at this time, Qiu Pengyun had no way out, he could only take risks, and the person who sent Fang Zeqing on his last journey was none other than Xu Ziyan.

At this moment, Fang Zeqing, who was in the cell, had already expected that he would definitely die, so he simply waited for the arrival of the death date without distraction.

On the night of the incident, it was the night of the 15th full moon, and the bright moonlight shone sparsely into the prison through the cold iron windows.

Fang Zeqing, who was leaning against the corner of the wall, raised his head with a heavy heart, looked up at the full moon outside the iron window, and pondered for a long time.

When he was young, this rare peace was ruthlessly broken by the cries of several rats.

Fang Zeqing on the side subconsciously glanced a few times in the direction where the cry came from, and found that a few mice were faintly visible passing by him in the dim light.

In fact, not all of the cells in the Assassin's Mansion were so bad, and some of them even had beds and other furnishings. And the reason why Fang Zeqing has the above situation here is completely arranged by Qiu Pengyun. As for the reasons for this, it is self-evident.

Just as Fang Zeqing was about to look out the window again, he suddenly heard the sound of Xu Ziyan talking to the cell boss.

At first, Fang Zeqing still had a trace of doubt in his heart, thinking to himself, his friendship with Xu Ziyan was not very deep, why did she suddenly come to such a place and wanted to visit her?

I saw Xu Ziyan, who was standing outside the cell, with a very heavy expression, and she was still carrying a food box in her hand, thinking that it was a "severed head meal" for Fang Zeqing.

At this moment, Fang Zeqing, who was in a very depressed mood, was relieved, and his extremely tired body and mind seemed to be as relieved and comfortable.

At this moment, Xu Ziyan had already pushed the door in.

Seeing this, Fang Zeqing immediately wanted to get up to greet him. But now he had been beaten so bruised that it was difficult to walk on even the shardest, so he spent most of his time curled up on the tattered straw mat.

Xu Ziyan saw that his injuries were serious, so she signaled that he didn't have to get up, just sit here.

"You're here, thank you for coming here to see me off for the last time, it's worth it for me to see you again before I die."

Fang Zeqing, who had always been stupid, had become very smart at the moment, and before Xu Ziyan could explain his intentions, he already knew that he was already close to Huangquan Road.

"This ...... I asked you to prepare it for you, so eat it while it's hot! ”

Saying that, Xu Ziyan opened the food box, and then put all the food in it in front of Fang Zeqing, but the pot of wine next to her was not taken out for a long time.

Fang Zeqing, who was on the side, looked at Xu Ziyan's expression and knew that this must be a pot of wine with a difference.

"Yo! It's hearty. Hey, how can you have good food without good wine? Don't bother, give it to me! Before Xu Ziyan could react, the wine jug had already been snatched away by Fang Zeqing.

"Hey, Fang Gongzi, this wine ......" Xu Ziyan stopped when she wanted to speak.

"Why, can't you drink this wine?" Fang Zeqing asked.

Seeing this, Xu Ziyan was silent.

At this time, the two of them already knew it in their hearts. It's just that Fang Zeqing knew that Xu Ziyan had something unspeakable, so he wanted to make himself break it as soon as possible. Like this, it can also save Xu Ziyan some trouble.

I saw Fang Zeqing naturally pour the poisonous wine into the cup, and then picked up the wine glass and prepared to drink it all.

I don't want to think that at this moment, a few grains of dust suddenly fell from the beam of the house because of the rats moving back and forth on the house, and they happened to fall into the wine glass in Fang Zeqing's hand.

Seeing this, Fang Zeqing first sniffed the faint aroma of this glass of wine with his nose, and then sighed meaningfully: "Alas, the wine is a good wine, and the taste is good, but it is polluted by something that should not exist, it's a pity, a pity!" With that, he drank all the wine in his cup in one go.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ziyan on the side couldn't resist the mixed feelings in her heart, and finally covered her face and walked out of the cell silently with tears.

And Fang Zeqing's ending was as predicted in advance, and he died of poison a few days later.
