898 Assassination, Siege of Feng Mansion
Something big happened!
"What happened?" Feng Qingchen hurried over, one step slower than Wang Jinling. Seeing Wang Jinling's serious face, he spoke worriedly.
"light……"
Just as Wang Jinling opened his mouth, there was a deafening banging sound outside the door. Feng Qingchen was startled and asked, "What's going on?"
It was smashed once before the New Year, and it will be smashed again after the New Year. Who is so bold as to come to Feng Mansion and smash the door?
"Miss, Young Master Ye is outside with a bunch of men, clamoring for your life." Tong Jue ran in two steps at a time, his face flushed, and it was unclear whether he was angry or running.
"Master Ye wants me to pay with my life? What happened? Let's go out and take a look." Feng Qingchen was puzzled. When she was about to take people to meet Ye Ye, Wang Jinling grabbed her.
"Qingchen, City Lord Ye was assassinated outside the city." Wang Jinling told Feng Qingchen the news he had just received.
Feng Qingchen was surprised and asked, "What? Lord Yecheng died? Didn't he return to Yecheng today? How could he die?"
"The Lord of Yecheng was assassinated ten miles outside the city." Wang Jinling told Feng Qingchen the news he had just received.
"He was assassinated as soon as he left the city? He has so many guards around him in Yecheng, how incompetent must he be?" Feng Qingchen said with disdain.
She knew that Lord Ye was going back to Ye City. Ye City was now facing internal and external troubles. Under the joint operation of the Su family and the No. 1 Manor in the World, the prices in Ye City were terribly high. Now, five out of ten households in Ye City were empty. If Lord Ye City did not hurry back, he would be greeted by an empty city.
But no one expected that someone would assassinate City Lord Ye on the road. It must be said that the assassin was really smart. Without City Lord Ye, Ye City could only survive for three to five years at most with Ye Ye, the second-generation rich man.
"It's not that City Lord Ye is incompetent, it's that the opponent is too strong. All the guards brought by City Lord Ye were killed with one sword, and no one survived." Wang Jinling's face was solemn.
The death of City Lord Ye was a good thing for them, but it would always be troublesome if Feng Qingchen was involved.
"The person who did it was really cruel, leaving no one alive, but he did it beautifully. Since there were no survivors, why should Ye Ye ask me to pay with my life? City Lord Ye died in Dongling, and that was the emperor's business. Ye Ye is just picking on the weak." Feng Qingchen said coldly.
Before she even bothered Ye Ye, Ye Ye came to her first. He was truly courting death. The tragic situation of Yecheng was right before their eyes. Ye Ye didn't even know who he had offended, and he just kept on being violent and aggressive. It was a tragedy for the people of Yecheng that Yecheng had such a young master.
"No, Ye Ye came to you because he thought you were the one who assassinated his father." Wang Jinling told Feng Qingchen the news he had just received: "When Ye Ye received the news of Ye City Lord's death, he immediately led people to rush over. He found that before Ye City Lord died, he had written a word "Phoenix" on the ground and there was a nail-sized wound on his forehead. He dug out the hidden weapon you often used from it and determined that you were the murderer."
Feng Qingchen had been in Feng Mansion this morning. Wang Jinling knew very well that Feng Qingchen had not done this, so this was a frame-up.
Wang Jinling quickly filtered through his mind who on earth could have killed City Lord Ye and wanted to frame Feng Qingchen. After thinking about it, there were only a few people, but Wang Jinling didn't think they had the ability to do it outside the imperial city.
"My surname, the hidden weapons I often use? The other party is really deliberate. What has he thought of? Is he going to pin the crime of assassinating City Lord Ye on me?" A cold look flashed in Feng Qingchen's eyes.
"It's a pity that Ye City is no longer what it used to be. If you want me to bear the crime of killing Lord Ye, it depends on whether I have the ability. I want to see how capable Ye Ye is without Lord Ye's support."
Feng Qingchen walked out with a cold face and arrogantly. Wang Jinling quickly stood up and followed him: "I'll go with you."
How could he let Feng Qingchen face such a thing alone? Not to mention that he was in Feng Mansion, even if he was not there, he would rush over immediately after hearing the news.
Feng Qingchen did not refuse and walked towards the outer courtyard with Wang Jinling.
"Miss." The guard stepped forward and told Feng Qingchen the situation on the scene.
Ye Ye is not Wang Jinling. Ye Ye does things more out of passion, which is the so-called impulse.
After Ye Ye came back from outside the city, he had people carry City Lord Ye's body back, and he himself, with the guards left behind by City Lord Ye, rushed to Feng Mansion aggressively. Without saying a word, he ordered people to break down the door, but the vermilion door was not so easy to break down. After smashing for a long time, there was no effect except making grooves on the door.
After seeing how fiercely Wang Jinling and his men smashed the door, Feng Qingchen looked down on Ye Ye's tricks. Feng Qingchen stood in the middle and ordered, "Open the door. Don't let the people in Yecheng think we are scared."
"Yes." Seeing Feng Qingchen coming, the guards of Feng Mansion were full of momentum and were not afraid of the people outside the door at all.
What's so great about Yecheng? Everyone in Feng Mansion knows that Feng Qingchen protects his people. As long as they are from Feng Mansion, Feng Qingchen will not watch them get into trouble. As long as Feng Qingchen is around, they have nothing to be afraid of as long as they don't make any trouble.
Squeaky... The wooden shaft turned, making a harsh sound, but the sound was soon drowned out by the sound of the door being knocked on. Wang Jinling saw a sly smile flash across Feng Qingchen's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Boom, boom, boom... Just as Feng Qingchen had expected, the people outside who were banging on the door were caught off guard. The door suddenly opened, and under the influence of inertia, they fell inside one by one.
Like dominoes, all those who pushed the door hard fell into the Feng Mansion without exception, one on top of another, and fell into a ball, with no fighting power at all.
"Hahaha~" With the indulgence of their master, the guards of the Feng Mansion had no idea what politeness was and laughed loudly. The ones who were closer were even more rude and stepped on them, making the guards of Yecheng scream.
"Feng Qingchen!" Ye Ye walked out from the guards, his eyes were red, and he stared at Feng Qingchen fiercely. His eyes were as fierce as a wolf, as if he would pounce on Feng Qingchen and tear her to pieces in the next second.
Feng Qingchen confronted him fearlessly: "Young Master Ye!"
"Feng Qingchen, you bitch, return my father's life to me." Ye Ye drew out his sword and pointed it directly at Feng Qingchen.
"Miss." The guards of the Feng Mansion stepped forward and surrounded Feng Qingchen, fearing that Ye Ye would get impulsive and hurt someone in public. At that time, the emperor would not blame him too much, considering that his father had just died.
"It's okay, all of you retreat. I want to see how arrogant the young master of Yecheng is in my Dongling Imperial City." Feng Qingchen waved his hand, shooed away the guards, stepped forward to confront Ye Ye. Facing Ye Ye's cold murderous intent, Feng Qingchen raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"Master Ye, you are not welcome at the Feng Mansion. If you have nothing else to do, please turn around and walk forward. Turn left after fifty steps and roll as far away as you can. Don't get in my way at the gate of the Feng Mansion."
"Don't worry, Feng Qingchen. After I kill you, I will leave. I feel sick of your father if I stay for a moment longer."
Ye Ye was completely out of his mind at this moment. Seeing Feng Qingchen was only three steps away from him, he made a sword flower and rushed forward, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Feng Qingchen's brow...
