Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 883

The "Twelve Killings" are ranked according to numbers.

The first character may be a surname, such as Jing San, Shen Liu, and Jin Qi.

Some people are born without knowing their surnames or given names, so they just use a random character, such as Fan Jiu.

Among the twelve people, the one named Jin Qi was someone Shi Anxia had seen in his previous life.

This boy is not tall and his appearance is even more ordinary. Even if he is thrown into a crowd of people, he would not attract anyone's attention.

It was this man who stabbed Empress Dowager Huizheng in the Golden Palace.

After being captured, he cursed her for being "ungrateful" and "treacherous" and then committed suicide by taking poison.

This means that he had already prepared himself for death when he came here.

Queen Mother Huizheng investigated for a long time but could not find out who this person was or why he cursed her like that, and in the end the matter was left unresolved.

Who would have thought that after going around in circles, I would see it again in my own home.

It turns out that he is Jin Qi among Cen Yuan's "Twelve Killers".

Shi Anxia quickly regained his composure, and scanned the twelve people one by one, memorizing their names and appearances.

After the Twelve Killers left, she asked Cen Yuan calmly, "How can you believe that they won't betray you?"

Cen Yuan was silent for a moment before answering, "Just like you can trust Bei Hui Hong Que, Lu Sangyu and Gu Boyan without any worries."

After he said this, Shi Anxia understood.

In the previous life, these people followed Cen Yuan loyally all their lives, from Beiyi to Liang State.

If you work your way back from your previous life, you can trust it enough.

So Jin Qi came to kill her because of Cen Yuan?

She betrayed the emperor of Liang, so Jin Qi came to settle accounts with her.

Shi Anxia lowered her eyebrows, put Jin Qi's matter aside, and asked sharply, "What about Luo Ying? Was she trustworthy in her previous life?"

He must be trustworthy, otherwise he would have been dealt with in this life.

She asked him, but didn't need an answer, and turned away.

It was the first time that the two parted on bad terms.

Cen Yuan could see that Shi Anxia didn't believe him.

Maybe it’s not that they don’t trust him, but that they don’t trust his subordinates.

Not only did he feel it, but many people among the Twelve Killers also keenly noticed it.

The Twelve Killers went back to a house in the city to rest and sat there quietly.

The first to speak was Mingyi.

He is the oldest and the only one among the Twelve Killers who has a wife and children.

He was from Haizhou, Beiyi, and his wife and children's lives were saved by Cen Yuan.

Now his wife and children only know that he follows his master around the country doing business, and they don’t know the truth.

Mingyi would bring money home every year, his wife and children lived a comfortable life, and he could feel at ease working outside.

He asked Jing San, "Didn't you say that the young master's wife is very approachable?"

Jing San was annoyed, "The young master's wife was originally approachable, but the Twelve Killers failed to do their job and almost killed her. Even if she is fine now, the young master is in trouble. Do you still expect her to have a good face?"

Fan Jiu testified, "I have protected Madam in secret. She is indeed approachable. But she is also... cruel and ruthless, and her actions are no less than those of the young master."

Sometimes, he even felt that the lady was more cruel than the young master.

Jin Qi spoke in a buzzing voice, "She is blaming us. I guess she won't be happy for us to protect her in the future."

Mingyi groaned, "If this is the reason, then it is indeed our responsibility."

All the Twelve Killers stopped talking and just sat quietly with their heads down.

Everyone was mentally sorting out the causes and consequences of their dereliction of duty that night.

The destruction of the "Qingtian Ding" cannot wash away the shame of the Twelve Killers.

Jin Qi couldn't help but spit out a "Pooh!", "That damn Luo Ying killed the twelve of us miserably."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Yuan strode in from outside, "No, this is your own responsibility. Yesterday there was Luo Ying, who else can disturb you today and tomorrow?"

The twelve assassins all stood up to welcome their lord.

Cen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, "From today on, you all evacuate the capital."

The Twelve Killers were shocked.

At this moment, Anxia spent a long time looking at the account book, flipping through several pages, but could not read a single word. He simply closed the book, lay down on the couch with his clothes on, and sorted out the events of his past and present life.

From the "grievances" that Cen Yuan had repeatedly mentioned earlier, as well as Jin Qi seen today, combined with the ending of her and Cen Yuan in the previous life, it can be inferred that she betrayed the emperor of Liang.
