"Zichu, do you think we were burned to death?" Lu Changgong raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him with amusement.
Lu Changgong thought for a moment and found that his statement was not true.
Because Sima Chengqi had been trapped in the forest for more than a month, it was impossible for him to know in advance that he would appear here one day.
Lu Changgong's eyes darkened, a cold light like a sharp blade flashed across his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Zichu is being hunted down?"
Sima Chengqi nodded, "I don't know who he is, but I'm sure he's not a royal guard, but a killer from the martial arts world."
A Jianghu assassin? Could it be that Sima Chengqi's disguise has been exposed?
The light in Lu Changgong's eyes grew deeper, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.
Lu Changgong pursed his lips and took a deep breath, "Do you know who did this?"
"As soon as I left the Imperial City, I headed south, asking questions along the way until I heard that you might be engulfed in fire. The assassin suddenly appeared and started killing people without a word."
Lu Changgong remained silent and waited for Sima Chengqi to continue.
Sima Chengqi curled his lips in disdain at his passive nature. He had originally wanted the two of them to talk over the incident.
But... he didn't accept it.
He sighed helplessly. Anyway, he had been under Lu Changgong's control since he was a child.
So he continued resignedly, "They claimed to be from Jingyun Pavilion and were instructed to rob and kill Su Sijin and Lu Changgong."
After Sima Chengqi finished speaking, he looked at Lu Changgong jokingly, with a playful look on his face but worried eyes.
"If you say you robbed and killed Huai Xin, I believe it. After all, you have quite a few enemies, both covert and overt."
"But why did they rob and kill your wife? She was just a weak woman. Did your sister-in-law offend someone? To the point where she had to be killed."
Sima Chengqi wiped his neck as he finished speaking. He was really curious.
Lu Changgong sneered, "Is this what you're focusing on? When did Jingyun Pavilion become a killer organization?"
"And the Feathered Guards, whom you deified, can't uncover the person behind this?"
As the leader of Jingyun Pavilion, how could he not know that Jingyun Pavilion had become a killer organization in the martial arts world?
He initially established Jingyun Pavilion with the purpose of obtaining intelligence from the capital, the court, and the border of Dai Yue.
Now it has been vilified.
Sima Chengqi chuckled, "I'm telling you, my Feathered Guards aren't just a name; they've actually dug up some useful clues."
Sima Chengqi paused, and finally he could keep Lu Changgong in suspense, but Lu Changgong refused to accept the challenge.
On the other hand, Lu Changgong looked like he didn't want to say anything, so he couldn't get angry at all.
Sima Chengqi sighed silently. He despised himself for always being so rude and testing Lu Changgong.
In the end, I was the one who got angry. I knew it was not worth it, but I kept talking nonsense.
"Xuan Yi pried open a man's mouth. The killer was indeed sent by Jingyun Pavilion."
Lu Changgong's pupils shrank in shock. "How is this possible? It's not the Golden Feather Pavilion, but the Jingyun Pavilion?"
Finally, the paralyzed Lu Changgong's face cracked. It was not easy for him.
You didn't expect that there would be a time when he would escape from Lu Changgong's control.
He was also very clear about the purpose of Jingyun Pavilion. After all, Jingyun Pavilion was founded by Lu Changgong.
His Feathered Guards can be said to be killers rather than shadow guards.
Jinyu Pavilion is in the business of providing bodyguards and assassins.
Jinyu Pavilion does not accept all business, Jinyu Pavilion also has its own principles and objectives.
That is, do not protect those who are guilty of heinous crimes, and do not take on the business of murdering loyal and good officials.
Jinyu Pavilion and Jingyun Pavilion rose to fame in Daiyue at the same time two years ago, and some people were willing to pay a huge sum of money to acquire them.
Jingyun Pavilion, in particular, is famous for selling intelligence. As long as you can afford it, you can get any secret letter you want.
Even the emperor's time, place, and favored people can be accurately provided.
Therefore, some people in the court hated and feared Jingyun Pavilion, but were helpless against it.
Many important people paid a large sum of money to ask people from Jinyu Pavilion to kill the leader of Jingyun Pavilion.
The owner of the order received reputation-threatening allegations the same day he placed an order with Jinyu Pavilion.
Those who placed orders were scared and canceled them one after another.
The deposit is non-refundable if the order is cancelled, but once the order is placed, more than half of the deposit must be paid.
This person can only swallow his anger and consider himself unlucky.
The third prince Sima Chengqi is the leader of the Jinyu Pavilion. If he dares to take Lu Changgong's life, then making them lose some money would be the least of their worries.
Jinyu Pavilion and Jingyun Pavilion have never failed to complete the orders they have received, so they have a very good reputation in Daiyue. People in the martial arts world and the imperial court all have a certain degree of respect for them.
Who would have thought that the person in charge of Jingyun Pavilion, who controls human weaknesses, is the disabled and dying Lu Changgong.
The foolish and dim-witted Third Prince is in charge of the feared Golden Feather Pavilion.
Sima Chengqi ignored Lu Changgong. Things have finally turned to his side!
Haha, it makes me happy just thinking about it.
Finally, he was allowed to taste the helplessness he had suffered.
Sima Chengqi smiled in a way that made him want a beating, and answered the question irrelevantly:
"This was the first murder case Jingyun Pavilion took on, right when the plague broke out in Yuan'an County."
"The main purpose is to kill Su Sijin, your wife, and you are the target of the murder commissioned by another person."
"In short, two groups of people simultaneously commissioned Jingyun Pavilion to take both of your lives. It is said that your wife's life is worth 50,000 taels, and yours is worth 200,000 taels."
Lu Changgong's usual pride in his composure finally broke through. His eyes were deep, and a sneer flickered on the corner of his mouth. "You're going to accept this little money from Jingyun Pavilion?"
"Do you have a suspect?" There was no need to think about it, there must be a traitor in Jingyun Pavilion.
"No."
