Left Sima Liu Yi was dead!
Few people knew that an insignificant maid had died in Purple Orchid Pavilion last night.
The news of Liu Yi's death was like a gust of wind that blew across the entire Xinzheng.
The court and the people were all discussing.
Han Fei, who had just taken the position of Minister of Justice, was also sent by the King of Han to deal with this case. The death of the Left Sima was really a big case. Han Fei received such a big case as soon as he took office.
Zhang Liang, the grandson of Prime Minister Zhang Kedi, was sent to help Han Fei solve the case.
Violet Orchid Pavilion.
Su Ying and Wei Zhuang were playing chess in Su Ying's room. The sunlight was warm and the air was filled with the smell of flowers and soil. Perhaps there was also the fragrance of women. As for the source, it was naturally Purple Woman sitting beside them.
The wind that blew in from the window lifted the hair of the three of them and lifted the thin curtain.
The bamboo slips in Su Ying's room had been moved away a long time ago. Without those bamboo slips, the entire room appeared much emptier. At least, this was how Su Ying felt.
"You should know about the death of Left Sima Liu Yi, right?”Wei Zhuang looked at the chessboard calmly, his eyes sharp. He picked up a white chess piece with his right hand.
"The entire Xin Zheng has been talking about this. Even the ladies from Zi Lan Xuan are talking about this.”Su Ying smiled and said. Among the three of them, his face was the most youthful, but his temperament was exceptionally calm and indifferent. The feeling he gave others caused others to overlook his age.
"Who do you think killed him?”Wei Zhuang placed the white chess piece on the chessboard and looked up at Su Ying. The purple girl knelt beside the table and poured wine for the two of them.
When it was Su Ying's turn to place his piece, he picked up a black piece and looked down at the chessboard, ignoring Wei Zhuang's gaze."Why are you asking me this question? Do you think I know the answer?"
Wei Zhuang stared at him.
"Did Han Fei send you here to ask me this question?”Su Ying put down his black piece and raised his head to look at Wei Zhuang. His eyes were filled with ridicule."When did you go to the side with him?”
"Hmph, I was only helping myself." Wei Zhuang snorted coldly and pinched his chess piece.
The two of them did not speak for a while and quietly placed their pieces. Wei Zhuang was somewhat shocked to find that Su Ying's chess skills had progressed very quickly. From the initial lack of resistance, he could actually launch a simple counterattack now. It had only been less than ten days…
Was this the rare genius of Daoism…
However, he was still not his match.
……
"Ah, I lost again!" Su Ying hugged his head with both hands and looked dejectedly at the chessboard on the table that was mostly occupied by white pieces.
"Humph." Wei Zhuang got up and glanced at Su Ying from the corner of his eye, as if he was saying to Su Ying,'noob.'”These two words made him extremely angry.
"If you have the guts, let's play another round!" Su Ying stood up and shouted at Wei Zhuang.
"You can't beat me now." Wei Zhuang opened the door and looked at Su Ying from the corner of his eyes. After saying that, he left. What he said was exactly what Su Ying said to him that night, which made Su Ying even more angry and aggrieved.
Wei Zhuang left the room and walked down the corridor. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was in a good mood.
Violet Maiden chuckled as she cleaned up the mess, tea set, and wine cups. She knelt beside the table and bent forward. Her figure was even more enchanting and exquisite, seducing people's hearts.
Su Ying rested his elbow on the table and used his hand to support his chin to carefully observe Violet Maiden's beautiful face.
"Purple Girl, are you helping Han Fei now?”
Violet Maiden's hand movements stopped. She looked at Su Ying's clear and deep eyes, and then a charming smile appeared on her face."Yeah, why? Can't I?"
"Of course, I'm just curious.”
Violet Maiden smiled, picked up the wooden tray, and prepared to walk out the door.
At this moment, Su Ying's serious voice came from behind her.
"Quicksand won't succeed. You…don't have time.”
Violet Maiden's heart trembled as she turned her head to look behind her. She met a pair of clear and deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
In the afternoon, the entire Xinzheng was covered in rain. Many people seemed to have something pressing down on their hearts, and they frowned.
Han Fei and Zhang Liang came to the Purple Orchid Pavilion with a box. After a long discussion with Wei Zhuang in a room, the three of them left the Purple Orchid Pavilion.
When night came and the rain dissipated, the starry sky closed the night sky. The moon was bright and the air was fresh, making people happy.
Su Ying was currently eating delicacies in his room. On the table was a pot of peach blossom wine that Violet Maiden had specially sent someone to give him. The wine fragrance was intoxicating, mellow, and delicious.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting nearby. Moreover, it was very close. He was very familiar with one of the auras.
Violet Lady…
Su Ying put down the wine cup in his hand and stood up. He picked up the White Frost Sword on the sword rack and walked over with a clear expression.
In the room, the vulture was half-kneeling on the ground, its body limp.
"…This is your trap!" He looked at the incense burner and said hatefully.
The Purple Maiden, who was wearing a purple bath towel, stepped on the wooden board barefooted. She glanced at the vulture and said coldly,""Prove your stupidity. However, as a professional assassin, your motive seems very strange. I'm very interested in understanding the story behind it.”
Violet Girl sat down on the suitcase, crossed her legs, and narrowed her beautiful eyes at Vulture.
"Hmph, you, you think you won? Do you really think that someone like me, who has experienced countless deaths, would come here without making full preparations?”The vulture said coldly.
Violet Maiden was shocked. The sound of something breaking through the air came from outside the window. Sharp swords shot into the room. Violet Maiden waved her chain sword to block them.
The vulture wanted to take this opportunity to escape through the window. Just as he gathered all his strength, a sword with a scabbard and cold air suddenly pressed down on his shoulder.
"Where do you want to go?" A voice that made the vulture's heart turn cold rang in his ears.
Violet Maiden, who was focused on blocking the rain of arrows, saw this scene and felt slightly relieved.
Just as she was about to relax, several spear-like bronze bolts shot at her from the window with a whistling sound. Violet Girl could not dodge them, but she could not. She could only widen her beautiful eyes and watch as the deadly bolts approached her.
At the critical moment, a figure wearing a moon-white robe suddenly appeared in front of her. He held a sword that was as white as frost and exuded a sharp and cold aura. The Purple Girl's beautiful eyes gradually widened.
Su Ying looked at the several ballista bolts that were coming at him menacingly. His handsome face was filled with a cold expression. He circulated his inner qi and the White Frost Sword in his hand slashed down in a mysterious arc. At the same time, the several bronze ballista bolts were sent flying and ruthlessly stabbed into the ground.
By the time Su Ying withdrew his sword and turned around, the vulture had already disappeared. The purple woman was still standing in place, staring at him in a daze.
"They actually used this kind of powerful crossbows. These people are really crazy.”Su Ying shook his somewhat numb wrist as he looked at the Violet Maiden and smiled.
"Why are you here?" Violet Maiden's beautiful eyes looked at the handsome young man who was eight or nine years younger than her with a complicated expression. Although she had not experienced it personally, she could feel her heart move when Su Ying stood in front of her.
"I heard the sounds of fighting. Fortunately, I wasn't late.”
