Fan Shihao followed Mr. Hong's address in his mind.
Soon, they arrived at a village on the outskirts of the imperial city.
Jinghong Village.
It is said to be a village, but because it is very close to the imperial city, it is also very prosperous, even better than towns in other places.
Fan Shihao followed the clean and tidy roads in the village and came to a house with nine twists and turns.
This is Mr. Hong’s residence.
The door of the private house was ajar. Fan Shihao gently pushed the door open and took in the entire layout of the house at a glance.
Sure enough, there was no one.
Fan Shihao already had a premonition when he arrived.
If Mr. Hong really wants to kill his own people. Then I will definitely not wait here for you to come.
Fan Shihao was about to close the door and leave.
In front of the door of the house next door, an old man came out, looked at Fan Shihao and asked, "That family are you here for?"
Fan Shihao nodded: "Yes, does the old man know where he went?"
"Just wait a little longer. He has been out for a while and should be back soon." The old man said.
Did he really escape early after getting wind of it?
"Thank you, old man. Since he's not here, I'd better come back another day." After Fan Shihao said that, he turned and left.
The yin and yang eyes are only the first layer and have no effect.
Without any clues, where should I look next?
Fan Shihao was thinking, and before he had gone far, he saw Mr. Hong's figure in front of him.
"Master?!" Mr. Hong shouted out first and trotted up to meet him: "Master, why are you here?"
"I haven't seen Mr. Hong for a long time, so I thought I would come and see you." Fan Shihao said with a smile on his face.
Just now I was still wondering how to find
Could it be that it's not him?
If I were the murderer, I would definitely run as far as I could and no one would find me.
It seems that I really worry too much.
"Oh, Master, you told me you were coming, so I can come and pick you up. Come and sit at home, sit at home."
Fan Shihao followed Mr. Hong to his home.
Mr. Hong added tea to Fan Shihao: "There is nothing at home to entertain the young master, so please don't dislike it."
After saying that, Mr. Hong came to the stove and took out a second-level magic beast [Strange-Eyed Duck] from a tank on the side and put it on the chopping board.
He picked up the kitchen knife and started processing.
Fan Shihao sat at the table nearby and quietly watched Mr. Hong cooking.
Not long after, a dish of braised strange-eyed duck that was both delicious and delicious was served on the table.
Mr. Hong bought more bowls and chopsticks for Fan Shihao: "Master, please."
"Mr. Hong, you eat too."
"I'm not hungry yet, young master, just eat first." Mr. Hong said and went to pack the things on the stove.
Fan Shihao picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in the middle. It tasted pretty good: "Mr. Hong, have you ever practiced a sword? I saw that when you just picked up the sword, your movements were like holding a sword, and your attainment should be quite good. Although you are very fast Then he changed it."
Mr. Hong was stunned for a moment, then returned to the work at hand: "Young master, you have really good eyesight. I have practiced a little, but I can't even talk about my attainments. After all, being a housekeeper requires you to know a lot of things. So I learned everything. study."
"So that's it. Then what were you doing in the palace before you came to my Fan family?" Fan Shihao asked again.
"That was a long time ago. I was a member of the Imperial Guard at that time. Later, due to some reasons, I went to Fan Mansion to work as a housekeeper," said Mr. Hong.
"Mr. Hong is really humble. He is obviously the leader of the Imperial Guard, but he says that he has only learned swordsmanship."
"At that time, I mainly used long spears." Mr. Hong had almost finished cleaning up, and only had to put the kitchen knife in his hand back to its original place.
"So that's it. I think Mr. Hong is still in good health, and my father treats you well. Even if you are providing retirement care, it would be better for you to come to my house. Why should you leave?" Fan Shihao looked at Mr. Hong's hand holding the knife, and said He also put down his chopsticks.
Mr. Hong put the kitchen knife back in his hand, turned around, and smiled: "Always feel more comfortable in your own home."
"Master, let's get straight to the point."
Fan Shihao didn't expect Mr. Hong to be so direct and not hide it at all: "After I entered the room and sat down, you obviously had murderous intentions. Why did you give up again? If you had done it, I might not question you here. ."
"Have you discovered this?" Mr. Hong smiled: "It's nothing. I just feel that I am no match for you, young master, so I gave up."
The moment Mr. Hong picked up the kitchen knife in the name of cooking, his murderous intention was indeed hidden. If it weren't for the system prompts, I wouldn't be able to tell the clues.
"So that's it, then why did you want to kill me in the first place?"
Mr. Hong did not answer Fan Shihao's question immediately, but looked at the ceiling: "The first time I got to know you was from the conversation between your grandfather Fan Hongsheng, Mr. Fan and His Majesty the New Emperor."
When was that? In Fan Shihao's memory, his grandfather passed away very early, and Fan Shihao was not very old at that time.
"The engagement between you and the Third Princess was also made at that time. It would be fine if you were just like ordinary people, but you are stone-born and unable to practice. I could have tolerated it originally, but you became more and more dandy. If If this marriage goes smoothly, it will only bring shame to the royal family.”
"That's His Majesty the Emperor of Renewal! How can he be stained just because of you?"
"But the engagement has been made, so His Majesty the Emperor cannot go back on his promise."
"Seeing that the time for the engagement is getting closer and closer, I have no choice but to kill you to prevent this marriage. In this way, the image of His Majesty the Emperor in my heart will not be destroyed because of you. His image in my heart will be will remain sacrosanct forever.”
"It would have been better if I had killed you completely."
"But it doesn't seem to be bad now. At least now you will shame Emperor Xinxin."
After saying that, Mr. Hong took out the kitchen knife he had just put back.
When Fan Shihao saw this, he also took out Chixiao and held it in his hand, looking at him warily.
Just now, my attention was focused on listening to what Mr. Hong said and thinking about the logic, so I neglected to pay attention to him, which gave him the opportunity to lean in there little by little.
The plum civet cat bit the Chixiao sword, looked at Fan Shihao in front of him, quietly let go, fell to the ground lightly, and quietly walked out the door.
Mr. Hong held a kitchen knife in both hands, stared at Fan Shihao, and suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect that now you and I have swapped identities, and I have become a stain on Emperor Xinxin. As long as I die, Emperor Xinxin will be perfect again." It’s over!”
"To be honest, after discovering that I am now the new emperor, I have been unwilling to accept it. I have been waiting for you to come here and let me recognize the reality."
The next moment, Mr. Hong touched his neck with a knife.
Mr. Hong fell in a pool of blood.
The plum civet cat was stunned by this move, what is this? Commit suicide as soon as you arrive. It really scared me to death.
Fan Shihao looked at Mr. Hong's body on the ground, but he didn't expect that he still had a long-standing grudge against him.
Just to keep the perfect image of the New Emperor in his mind, he would kill others, even committing suicide.
What is the difference between this behavior and those people in the previous life who were crazy about chasing stars?
"Stupefied." Fan Shihao said two words lightly.
He picked up the Red Sky Sword and observed it carefully. Fortunately, there were no traces.
The plum civet cat's mouth and its claws still worried Fan Shihao.
After confirming, Fan Shihao looked at the plum civet cat who had just retreated to the door, and walked over with ill intentions.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I just licked it." Mei Tanuki yelled.
After cleaning up the plum civet cat, Fan Shihao threw it back to the original space.
Now the search for Fan Shihao's murderer is finally over.
Although the ending makes me laugh and cry.
Let me take a look at the reward of this mission and what the Holy River Baptism is.
[Task: Find the cause of death (2)]
[Task difficulty: average. ]
[Completion reward: Baptism in the Holy River. ]
[Mission progress: 90%]
90%? ! !
Fan Shihao was shocked that the task was not completed!
Looking at Mr. Hong's body on the ground, Fan Shihao gradually developed a rash on his back.
The task is not completed,
From beginning to end, this series of events has been interspersed with a key figure. His engagement with the third princess, Mr. Hong's motives, and the reason why he was able to find Mr. Hong's residence are all inseparable from this person.
Update Emperor!
As the king of a country, it is easy to assign any crime to me.
As the person with the highest cultivation level in this country. It shouldn't be too easy to kill me without anyone noticing.
So I have always excluded him.
Since killing me is easy, why does he go to such trouble?
It seemed that I had to go see him again.
...
"It's quite late to arrive. It's not a long journey for you." Emperor Xinxin looked at His Highness Fan Shihao.
"After all, I'm here to see you, so what if I don't make some preparations." Fan Shihao was not afraid of the coercion emanating from Emperor Xinxin at all, and looked at Emperor Xinxin.
Emperor Xinxin didn't take it seriously. He leaned back on the dragon chair and looked down at Fan Shihao: "How's it going? Did you get the answer? Who assassinated you."
"Asking knowingly."
Fan Shihao's explosive answer made Emperor Xinxin smile brightly: "What do you want to know?"
"I want to know, did you instruct Mr. Hong to kill me?" Fan Shihao asked.
"I said no, do you believe it?"
"I can't think of anyone else besides you."
"It's just a pity that it was really not my instigation. Fan Shihao, you guessed wrong." Emperor Xinxin said calmly: "It was his own decision to kill you. I just put him in your Fan Mansion to help him create It’s just a chance.”
[Ding! mission completed. ]
[Rewards are being distributed. ]
[The reward is distributed successfully. ]
"Why did you do that?"
"In this world where strength is respected, as a stone fetus, even if you have the protection of the Fan family, can the Fan family protect you for the rest of your life?"
"I'm worried about Nan Shu following you."
"Aren't you the one who made this engagement? And it's just a verbal engagement. If you cancel it, the third princess can be freed."
"Do you think I asked Nan Shu to get engaged to you just to win over people's hearts?"
"Is not it?"
"I didn't expect you to be quite smart." Emperor Xinxin smiled and said, "Now that you know the truth, what do you want to do?"
Fan Shihao is silent, do you want to kill him? Let’s not talk about whether we can kill him or not. What will happen to this country after we kill him?
Moreover, if the previous Fan Shihao hadn't died, he wouldn't have been able to be reborn.
Having said that, should I still thank them both?
moment,
"Then please terminate my engagement with the third princess." Fan Shihao said.
"This is not possible. You have been received by Immortal Lingcun, and now you have a bright future. I will suffer a great loss if I let you go."
"Moreover, from the beginning to the end, the person who made the engagement with you was not me, but Nan Shu himself. If I cancel it, I will have nothing to answer to Nan Shu."
"What?! The third princess wants to marry me?"
