C70

Fifteen years ago.

Chang'an West Street.

In the Chen Residence.

On the horizon, the last rays of the setting sun embroidered a brilliant sunset glow. The distant mountains were vaguely and elegantly accentuated by the evening glow, and the dancing light seeped through the willows in the Chen Mansion's courtyard. The scattered branches of the willows adorned the flagstones and stone fences, and the laughter of a little girl filled the entire courtyard.

Little Siyan and the two maidservants were playing in the pavilion while his mother sat by the railing, feeding the goldfish in the pond.

Listening to his daughter's happy laughter, seeing the blue pond like a mirror-fish swimming freely under the lotus leaves, watching the willow branches swaying under the sunset, Chen's mother's face rippled with sweet happiness.

The study in the back of the mountain was so quiet that only the sound of pages being turned could be heard, and occasionally the chirping of birds in cages could be heard.

Chen Zhengnan was in front of his desk, reviewing the affairs of the people everywhere. This citizen's father and mother officer worked day and night to bring justice to the people. Every day, his eyes were bloodshot and he had no regrets.

Above the desk, the "bright mirror and high light"

The refraction showed a faint glow.

Chen Zhengnan, who was highly regarded by tens of thousands of people, was ostracized in such a large government office because of his impartial enforcement of the law, his intolerance of corruption, and his oppression of the people. All those tactics that violated the laws of the land were always exposed by him.

This was because he had cut off someone's path to wealth, sending them to prison or even sending them to the guillotine.

Some of the officials were extremely dissatisfied with him, and after a long period of grudge, they let the bureaucrats make things difficult for them. Chen Zhengnan was still the same as before. Only by working for the people could he be worthy of being seen in the mirror.

Chen asked the imperial court to relax the tax system and reduce it, and some officials opposed his actions.

The extreme heat of his anger was about to kill him.

As an official, evil always coexists with justice. Chen believes that justice can overcome evil.

The gentle evening breeze caresses every happy smile.

Suddenly, the tranquil and blissful atmosphere in the courtyard was sliced into pieces. The cheers and laughter in the courtyard were shattered into pieces by the sword lights and shadows. A chilling killing intent rolled over like a tide as the wails tore through the Chen Residence.

"Master."

A weak voice could be heard. It was the housekeeper, Liu Fu. When Liu Fu came knocking on the door, Chen Zhengnan was still sitting there calmly and oblivious.

"Old... "Master, something bad has happened. There's a lot of killers …"

His voice was choked, and the sword in his hand trembled.

Chen Zhengnan panicked and threw away the paper in his hands.

She asked soullessly, "Where are the Madam and Young Miss?"

Immediately, he took out the sword hanging on the wall.

"I told Wu Gui and the others to go and protect him."

They rushed out of the study.

The hiss of unarmed servants and maidservants, the sound of swords slicing through throats, the sound of blood spraying into the air.

The Chen Residence was in a state of chaos.

The five masked assassins brandished their swords and sabers.

"Dad."

Little Siyan threw herself into Chen Zhengnan's arms, her body trembling as her eyes filled with fear.

Tears flowed freely.

Ponds, flower beds, corridors, pavilions, blood and heart-wrenching sounds, corpses falling one by one.

Chen Zhengnan tightly grasped the sword in his hand.

"Liu Fu, bring Miss to the study at the back."

Chen Zhengnan stared at the killer in front of him with anger in his eyes and said in fear, "Dove? I, Chen Zhengnan, am a clean and honest man, serving the nation and the people. How could I possibly face the calamity of my entire family being exterminated?! Who wants to destroy our clan? "

"I kill when I take money."

A sinister and cruel look appeared on the young face of the Jiu Wu, and he shouted, "Bloody Cleansing Chen Mansion, don't leave a single one alive."

"Wu Gui, quickly take Madam away."

Chen Zhengnan's sword stabbed towards Dove Witch.

Swords flashed, blood splattered, and Mrs. Chan and Wu Gui fell into a pool of blood.

"Madam …"

Chen Zhengnan used all his strength to fight, but he was clearly not a match for the Jiu Wu. A shallow stab on his chest, and blood seeped through his white robe, emitting a sad and beautiful blood-red petal. He turned around and carried his mother into the study room.

The Chen Mansion was filled with corpses, and blood flowed like a river.

In a split-second, the study room was lit with flames and thick smoke. The dark street of Chang'an West was shrouded in crimson. A bird's cry tore through the air above Chang'an, turning the entire Chen Mansion into a ruined graveyard.

All the people in the city were in grief, but only in their hearts could they remember the father and mother of the people.

The officials in charge of this bloodbath are connected from top to bottom. When the matter is settled, the grass will be put to rest.

"Of course I know that the Chen Mansion was exterminated 15 years ago, and it was done by Young Master Jiu. How could the heavens allow for the extermination of an official who worked for the nation and the people?"

Yue Yue's eyes flashed a trace of sadness, the white gauze curtain slightly moved, following the condensing sentimental air.

"Young Master Jiu, can you tell me who is behind this?"

"Although I am a brutal assassin, I have my principles. I want to know who is behind this. You asked the wrong person. I only care about collecting money and killing people, and then how I want to spend it."

The Jiu Wu seemed to realize that the words spoken by the woman in front of him were a bit confusing.

"Do you know how many innocent people you've maimed?"

Cupping Yao Qin with both of her hands, Lunar angrily said, "Don't tell me you're indifferent when a good official who works for the nation falls under your sword?" Are you going to bear the heartbreaking screams of those innocent people under the knife? When your loved ones die one by one in front of your eyes, don't you feel heartbreaking pain? Killers are really cold-blooded! "

"Hahaha, I'm a killer, and I don't care if he's a good person or a bad person, whether he's innocent or not!"

The face of the Dove Mage was filled with a sinister and cunning smile.

"Could it be that young lady …"

Before Jiu Wu finished his sentence, Lin Yue took it from him and said, "Yes, I am Chen Zhengnan's daughter, Chen Siyan. This time, I've called you here to find the real mastermind behind my innocent family members' deaths and avenge them. "

The anger in Chen Siyan's eyes was like the sand in a dark, violent storm. This was a wound that could not be touched. The hatred in her heart was churning at an extreme speed, and the expression on her face was like the sadness of Chang'an's reflection.

The maidservant standing by the bed clenched her fists and glared at the heartless Great Demon before her. "Today, I'll make you pay with your blood."

"Such a pretty girl with such a pretty voice,"

The Turtle gave a contemptuous laugh.

"It seems that the two ladies have chosen to go against the blade in my hand."

Jiu Wu quickly raised his blade to block in front of his face, and two sharp needles fell onto the ground with a "ding" sound.

These two needles were shot out from the moon's guqin. All of their movements happened in an instant.

The servant girl pulled out her sword from the bed under Yao Qin and turned it over, while the servant girl also pulled out her sword from the bed.
