After hearing what Mei Xiang said, A Fei was very confused.
He wouldn't even want to make a choice if he could, it was too much for him.
After hesitating for a moment, Ah Fei put his hands up.
Mei Xiang enjoyed feeling the tenderness that belonged to her, but the next second, her watery eyes suddenly widened.
Mei Xiang lowered her head and looked at the wound that had formed a bloody hole in disbelief, as if she couldn't imagine that A Fei would take this opportunity to do something to her.
It turns out that there is a dagger hidden in A Fei's sleeve. After finding the opportunity, he stabs it into Mei Xiang's heart in the name of a hug.
From the beginning, he had been deciding whether it was right or wrong, but he could not leave the real murderer alone.
Mei Xiang originally thought that using the honey trap would make A Fei soft-hearted, but who would have thought that she would actually be tricked.
"Why……"
Mei Xiang's mouth was bleeding, and her lips like withered leaves made a hoarse and low sound.
"You are not Mei Xiang, you are the murderer of innocent women!" Ah Fei roared.
Mei Xiang was not disappointed at all with such a result, but smiled to herself.
"As expected of the Jinyiwei Trial Hundred Households...well done."
If it weren't for her physical weakness, she would have wanted to block the wound with her hands to prevent death from excessive blood loss.
"I have to do this for Master Tang, for Beizhen Fusi, and for all the souls who died in vain!" Such a decision was also very painful for A Fei.
No matter how much he loves this girl, he has to say goodbye to her. Even if he keeps such a woman, he will only become an enemy.
Mei Xiang is like a butterfly on the verge of death, barely able to squeeze out a smile from the corner of her mouth.
"I'll call you brother A Fei one last time. Can you bury me under the plum blossom tree? If I can meet you again one day, how about we be a happy couple?"
Mei Xiang's pupils gradually became dilated, and she suddenly felt that her body was very cold, probably because she was going west...
"Let's talk about it if there is an afterlife..."
Ah Fei avoided looking as much as possible. It was very uncomfortable to see the woman he loved killed by him and fell into his arms.
What's more, he is not a plant, so how can he be heartless?
He didn't know how long it had been before he saw Ah Fei walking out of the room. Tang Jianqiu was not surprised to see his blue brocade clothes stained with blood, but he just stared at him blankly.
"Are you satisfied with this result?" Tang Jianqiu asked.
Ah Fei was silent for a long time after hearing this, probably because he didn't know how to answer.
After struggling for a long time, he seemed to have figured it out and said this: "I thought it would be easy to solve this matter, but I feel uncomfortable for some reason."
Only at this moment did A Fei understand that falling in love with a girl would be so painful.
It wasn't until today that he truly realized that feeling, asked what love was in the world, and knew how to make love between life and death.
"Sir, it's better if you didn't drink that bowl of soup." A Fei's mood had hit rock bottom and he didn't know how to answer.
Tang Jianqiu was not in a hurry to reply. He just reached out and patted A Fei on the shoulder to express comfort, and then walked straight forward towards a red robe.
It's not that I'm worried that A Fei will bend the law for personal gain, but just to be on the safe side.
Tang Jianqiu was relieved when he saw the beauty's body lying in a pool of blood. Then he squatted down to check her breathing and made sure there was nothing wrong before getting up.
Fang Xiaoyu followed and walked in. He had some concerns just now. Considering that some of the words he said might be inappropriate, he had been brewing for a long time.
After thinking for a long time, she asked: "Master Tang, please forgive me for having the courage to ask, is it appropriate for you to do this? Using lynching like this... What if the court blames me?"
However, Tang Jianqiu did not panic, but kept his calm mind, as if it were commonplace:
"Let me ask you, is the culprit dead?"
Fang Xiaoyu was obviously stunned when he heard such an answer. It seemed that he did not expect that Tang Jianqiu would say that, but he still answered the question raised by Tang Jianqiu truthfully.
"Exactly."
"Is Ah Fei responsible for this?" Tang Jianqiu asked again.
Fang Xiaoyu replied without hesitation: "That's natural."
"Now that the murderer has been brought to justice, and A Fei, as a royal guard, has massacred the culprit, how can the imperial court blame him too much?"
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly choked up: "This...isn't possible."
"In this case, it is enough to report the matter to His Majesty. If Your Majesty asks about it, I will shoulder the responsibility!"
Tang Jianqiu was full of righteousness, his cold eyes were full of determination, and he was determined to bring the other party to justice.
For some reason, Fang Xiaoyu was a little envious. Even though Tang Jianqiu didn't treat him badly, he yearned for Ah Fei from the bottom of his heart.
Because he was an orphan, he was taken care of by Tang Jianqiu. He was not like the other Jinyi guards who made things difficult and suppressed him, and the two of them became brothers unknowingly.
Although Ah Fei occasionally made fun of Tang Jianqiu, he was truly loyal to Tang Jianqiu.
However, Tang Jianqiu seemed not to hear, looking elsewhere, filled with emotion and unspeakable pain and suffering in his heart.
At this time, he was thinking like this: "A Fei, is it my imagination? Why do I feel that you are different from before?"
As for how Tang Jianqiu discovered that the murderer was Mei Xiang, there are four reasons:
First of all, since Mei Xiang saw the assassin, he only had to go to the west wing to notify A Fei. Why was there any need to put the medicine jar on the stone table in the backyard and chase after him?
Secondly, after Mei Xiang followed the assassin, she returned to the stone table in the backyard to get the medicine jar, and then walked from the backyard to the west wing to explain to Ah Fei how much time it would take to get back and forth?
As a shrewd girl, Mei Xiang could not have thought of this!
At that time, Tang Jianqiu felt that things were not that simple after hearing A Fei's narrative.
In the end, after repeated deductions, he concluded that the most likely poison in the medicine jar was actually administered by Mei Xiang herself.
The assassin was just a cover, just to divert their attention.
The last point, and the most fatal point, is that if Mei Xiang is really an ordinary woman, she should not know this medicine. How could she know it so clearly?
It was precisely because of Mei Xiang's unintentional flaw that the whole thing came to a complete end;
Finally, the day for the contest to find a bride was approaching, but now Tang Jianqiu had another urgent case to deal with, and he could only pray that it would be completed as soon as possible, so as not to miss the best opportunity.
After all, he didn't want to miss her again.
Their target is a criminal who has done many evil things.
This person's name is Zhang Hai. It is said that this guy attacked people at night and brutally killed a whole family of children. His behavior was even more egregious.
However, although the commander of Jinyiwei had sent people to conduct a secret investigation, his hiding place was never found.
Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed across their vision.
It was a narrow alley, deep and dark, like a hiding place. How could Tang Jianqiu let go of such a detail and immediately ordered the Jinyi Guards to move in that direction.
They moved forward cautiously, moving their hands as lightly as possible, and their steps were even more cautious and firm.
The eyes of the imperial guards were full of nervousness and seriousness, and they were as careful as possible to avoid making a scene and allowing the dangerous criminal to escape.
When they were about to reach the alley, Tang Jianqiu vaguely noticed something and raised his hand to make a quiet gesture.
The Jinyi guards immediately stopped, like a group of cheetahs standing still before hunting.
Tang Jianqiu's eyes turned cold and he slowly drew out the Xiuchun Knife. The air was filled with nervousness.
He pointed forward, and the Jin Yiwei understood instantly. They silently poured into the alley, like an undercurrent, forming an encirclement, waiting to capture it.
At the corner at the end, a figure loomed.
When the Jinyi guards came forward, the figure turned its head.
For a moment, extremely frightened eyes met Tang Jianqiu's eyes!
"Zhang Hai?"
Tang Jianqiu asked coldly. He could see the person in the portrait at a glance.
The figure's body suddenly stiffened, and he immediately admitted, then lowered his head tremblingly.
Zhang Hai nodded expressionlessly, as if he was thinking about his next fate, but he was unwilling to accept his fate and had no choice but to fight to the death!
"Grandma, I will fight with you!"
In an instant, he, who was weak in power, rushed towards where Tang Jianqiu and the others were and killed them!
…
——The day of competition to recruit a bride;
Notices for contests to recruit brides were plastered all over the streets and alleys of the city, attracting the attention of countless people.
Some people came to watch the excitement, while others came to challenge.
In this wide square, the crowd was bustling and the atmosphere was warm, attracting countless passionate young people, and even people who usually like to watch onlookers came to watch.
Hundreds of people gathered around the ring to watch the excitement. They all talked about it and wondered who would win the championship and win the beauty.
Of course, the people who come to participate in the competition to recruit a bride are all of certain strength, and they naturally hope to win the heart of a beautiful woman through their own efforts.
However, one of the petite maids acted even more anxious than Shen Hongluan.
Because their young lady’s sweetheart hasn’t arrived yet, and if it’s too late, her uncle will be someone else.
"Miss, Mr. Tang has not returned yet, are you not in a hurry?"
Shen Hongluan was just keeping a normal mind. She had already looked away. Some things couldn't be rushed.
She said in a normal tone: "What's the use of being anxious? The government is busy with official affairs, and he has his own affairs to deal with, so how can I rush him?"
"But with so many people...what if Mr. Tang forgets!"
As a loyal maid, Chunzhu naturally hoped that Tang Jianqiu would arrive early, but she was also afraid that Tang Jianqiu would break the promise.
In response, Shen Hongluan said categorically: "No, I believe him! He will definitely come."
Then, Shen Hongluan turned her gaze to the stage, her smart autumn eyes looking at the people on the stage.
Her eyebrows were furrowed, and the two people's shadows were reflected in her pupils. Perhaps she was too nervous and her jade fists were tightened, as if she was expecting Tang Jianqiu's arrival.
