The killer's target was Qi Wei in the prison van.

Qi Wei thought they were here to save him, but when he saw these people stabbing their swords into the prison car without hesitation, he realized that these people were here to kill him and silence him.

He watched with trepidation as the man in black and Feng Qingluan's soldiers fought each other.

The other side has a large number of people and is determined to kill him here. Who else could send a large number of killers to deal with him except the current emperor?

Qi Wei was extremely angry. The emperor was really good at killing the donkey after it had done its work.

"boom!"

The man in black cut off the iron chain of the prison van that held Zeng Yangzi. Zeng Yangzi was shocked, not knowing whether the killer did it intentionally or unintentionally. The chain broke, giving him a chance to rush out of the van and escape.

"Keep an eye on him!"

Shi Yaya shouted loudly.

Pei Chuan also saw an assassin cut off the iron chain of Zeng Yangzi's prisoner car and wanted to tie it up again.

It was too late. Zeng Yangzi seized the opportunity and quickly opened the prison door and rushed down before Pei Chuan came over.

He is very skilled in martial arts, so letting him escape is like letting a tiger return to the mountains.

Seeing this, Shi Yaya flew in the direction where Zeng Yangzi escaped!

An Ye was closest to her, and seeing this scene, he glanced at Feng Qingluan.

Feng Qingluan nodded, and then An Ye also chased after Shi Yaya!

On Feng Qingluan's side, even though her people tried their best to protect Qi Wei, Qi Wei was still stabbed in the heart by an assassin. He fell in the prison car in unwillingness and despair.

When the men in black saw that their target had been solved, the leader waved his hand and retreated into the depths of the bamboo forest like a tide.

Feng Qingluan came to Qi Wei's prison car and checked his pulse. As expected, he was dead.

She looked at the last prison van, and the monk Duzhu was also stabbed to death.

Of the three prisoners, two died and Zeng Yangzi escaped. The soldiers were shocked. Two of the imperial prisoners they were escorting died and one escaped. They didn't know whether the escaped one could be caught again. How could the murder case in Fancheng be brought to Beijing for investigation?

Feng Qingluan looked around and saw what they were thinking. She said:

"Everyone take a break."

She went to the carriage and asked about her grandmother.

Madam Hou looked worried:

"Qingluan, are you hurt?"

Feng Qingluan shook her head: "I'm sorry to have frightened Grandmother."

Feng Qingluan felt guilty. Her grandmother was old and should have been enjoying her retirement, but she had been assassinated many times. She felt really sorry for her.

After greeting her grandmother, Feng Qingluan went to see Yun Huaiyin and Xie Ying, and found that they were both fine.

After dealing with the aftermath, Feng Qingluan asked them to rest where they were and wait for Anye and Shi Yaya to capture Zeng Yangzi, while she went to a bamboo forest in the distance.

Xie Jin was waiting for her here wearing a mask.

Next to him was Qi Wei, who was supposed to have died in the prison van.

Seeing Feng Qingluan coming over, Qi Wei's face turned ugly.

Feng Qingluan said: "See, the master behind you doesn't want you to return to the capital alive."

When the man in black was strangling "Qi Wei", the real Qi Wei had been standing here with Xie Jin and watching from afar.

Not long after leaving Fancheng, Feng Qingluan replaced Qi Wei in the prison car with a death row prisoner who was taken out from the death row by Yu Zheng.

The real Qi Wei was brought by Xie Jin and had been following the convoy these days.

They didn't know when Emperor Xia Ming would send people to deal with Qi Wei, so they had to prepare as soon as possible.

Only five days after leaving Fancheng, Emperor Xia Ming's assassins arrived. Xie Jin did not show up, and took Qi Wei with him to let him witness with his own eyes how the emperor he served took his life.

Qi Wei was filled with hatred. When he saw the assassin thrust the sharp sword into the fake Qi Wei's heart, he felt as if he was also stabbed to death by the sword.

Hearing Feng Qingluan's ridicule, Qi Wei tightened his jawline:

"You saved me. The emperor has crossed the river and demolished the bridge. I trusted him in vain!"

Feng Qingluan said: "You worked hard for him, but in the end he wanted to kill you. Do you still want to protect him?"

Qi Wei clenched his fists and struggled for a moment before saying:

"Seven days before you came to Fancheng, a man came to Minzhou Mansion to find me. He said that he was ordered by His Majesty to eliminate you in Fancheng by any means.

If I complete the task, I will be granted a title and the Yun family's property will be handed over to me. With such temptation, I accepted the task, found Zeng Yangzi who escaped from Zhoushan, and bribed him with a high price to do evil in Fancheng, and then killed you on the grounds of evil spirits. "

Rather than saying that he agreed to kill Feng Qingluan for the sake of wealth and glory, it would be better to say that he had no choice.

The one who gave him the task was the current emperor, and he couldn't refuse!

Feng Qingluan said: "You believed him just because he claimed to be the emperor? What if he is not?"

Qi Wei said: "The man brought a handwritten letter, which was written by His Majesty himself and stamped with a jade seal."

Feng Qingluan asked: "Do you have the imperial edict?"

Qi Wei shook his head: "No, that person only showed it to me, but did not give it to me."

In his opinion, he was working for the emperor, and even if the mission failed, the emperor should send someone to rescue him.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated. The emperor was so cruel and ruthless that he sent people to take his life!

No handwritten order, just one sentence?

Feng Qingluan didn't believe it.

It was too reckless for the Governor-General of Jiangnan to kill so many innocent people with just a few words.

Feng Qingluan looked at Xie Jin.

Xie Jin said: "According to the emperor's method, if I kill you today, you will be a member of Minzhou's family tomorrow."

Qi Wei's pupils trembled: "What did you say?"

Feng Qingluan said: "That's right, the emperor told you to get rid of me no matter what means you use. You killed the people in Fancheng and framed him. He knows about it. He is the current emperor. If the fact that he condoned the killing of the people by his pawns is exposed, do you think he will allow it?

The dead will not reveal secrets, so be careful that your family knows nothing. To prevent future troubles, it is better to cut the grass and root it out. For him, killing your whole family is just a password for the assassin to do it. "

Feng Qingluan was not exaggerating. Qi Wei knew what the emperor would most likely do. He felt a chill down his spine and said, almost trembling:

"What about my family?"

He was far away in Fancheng and a prisoner, with no way to go back to save them.

Xie Jin said calmly: "I have sent people to send your family away. The emperor's people will not find them."

Hearing his affirmative tone, Qi Wei couldn't help but be shocked. He even thought of this?

The other party is the emperor and the whole world belongs to him. How powerful must this person be if he wants to hide his entire family from being found by the emperor's men?

Qi Wei asked: "Who are you and why are you helping me?"

Xie Jin said: "You will know when the time comes. If you complete the task we ask you to do, you will be able to see your family for the last time."

Threaten him with his family?

Qi Wei was a smart man and understood what Xie Jin meant.

He looked solemn and said after a long while:

"Okay, a big mistake has been made. I have to bear the consequences no matter what. But my parents, wife and children are innocent. I will help you, but you also have to help me protect them and keep them alive."
