After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

The assassin turned his head and struggled, the iron chains binding his limbs jingled.

Huang Chengsi punched him in the heart unceremoniously, and the assassin coughed violently. Before he could react, the pill was thrown into his mouth and slid down the throat.

Under the gaze of everyone, the assassin's eyes were quickly occupied by chaos.

"General Zheng, it's fine." Ning Yi nodded slightly.

Huang Chengsi walked up to the assassin, raised his hand and patted the assassin's face, he was indeed like a puppet whose soul was taken out, without any self-awareness.

He couldn't help being surprised: "The effect is so fast!"

Ning Yi slightly bent his lips.

There are countless rare treasures mixed in here, and the effect is naturally wonderful.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that the assassin didn't know anything about it.

"Who do you work for?" Huangcheng Secretary asked again.

The assassin shook his head with blank eyes.

Everyone: "..."

After a dead silence, Huang Chengsi punched the assassin in the abdomen, and the veins on his forehead twitched.

Ning Yi also did not expect such a situation. It seems that this person was not specially trained by any force, maybe he was a desperado bought with money from somewhere.

However, what kind of desperado dared to sneak into the ranks of the imperial guards to assassinate Wuliang's female officer!

The Secretary of the Imperial City cast a sidelong glance at Ning Yi, obviously thinking of a place with him.

He turned to the assassin and asked, "Who are you?"

The assassin's eyes flickered, and after struggling for a while, he finally failed to overcome the effect of the medicine, and said slowly: "I was originally a guard in the southern border, my name was Dou Xun, and I had a wife and children at home. Three and a half years ago, the southern border In the blizzard, my wife and parents died in the blizzard, only one young son was left..."

After hearing the origin of the assassin's identity, several people fell silent.

He used to eat at the imperial court, and he didn't want a natural disaster to destroy his family. Although his youngest son survived, he suffered from cold and lived in a medicine jar every day.

Dou Xun is just an ordinary guard, the monthly silver is not enough, the savings for many years are used up in just two months of support.

For the sake of his child, he concealed his identity and embarked on this road of no return.

Take people's money and save people's disasters.

There are not a few such desperadoes in the Jianghu.

It is true to be pitiful, and it is also true to be hateful.

The Secretary of the Imperial City frowned deeply: "You never thought that if you assassinate the envoy of Wuliang, you can still survive. What about your child?"

Dou Xun was stunned for a while, and said in a difficult voice: "But without this money, he would not be able to live."

Knowing that he was close to death during this trip, he deliberately entrusted the child to a reliable friend.

"Do you know who hired you?" Huang Chengsi changed his words.

Dou Xun shook his head: "I don't know, he is wearing a cloak and has never shown his true face."

The black hand behind this scene is quite cautious.

Looking at the unconscious Dou Xun, the Imperial City Secretary was furious.

"Your Majesty has promised Wuliang envoy to give him a satisfactory answer within an hour, what should we do now?" He stood by the window, worried.

Ning Yi did not give up, and asked Dou Xun: "What is the person who hired you dressed like, can you tell where the accent is?"

"He's wearing a cloak and night clothes. There's nothing special about him. As for his accent, it sounds like someone from the south." Dou Xun looked at the void in front of him, and added after finishing speaking: "But his There is a group of tattoos on the tiger's mouth, like a pattern of black flying cranes."

"Black flying crane!" Huang Chengsi's eyes lit up.

Nanfang's accent, Feihe's pattern, isn't this the same as being caught as a spy by Qi State last time?

The secret agent of the State of Qi who destroyed the Liulan Flower Fair had a flying crane pattern on the tiger's mouth.

The Imperial City Secretary couldn't hide his excitement: "Are you sure?"

Dou Xun nodded: "When he gave me the money, although he covered it up, I could see clearly that it was indeed a flying crane pattern."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Huang Chengsi's high-hanging heart suddenly fell.

Fortunately, not for nothing.

Even though it was just the assassin's one-person statement, Wuliang's side, at least, had an explanation.

Thinking in this way, he told his subordinates to be optimistic about Dou Xun, and then went to report to Emperor Hui.

"Xiao Ning, you go with me."

It was also thanks to his pill that he was able to find out this little clue. The Secretary of the Imperial City did not want to take the credit for it alone. Moreover, he still needed someone to confirm what he said.

The two walked out of the firewood room, and saw two young men and women with extraordinary appearance and bearing.

Ning Yi raised his eyebrows without changing his face.

"Prince Ning, Concubine Ning." The Secretary of the Imperial City greeted, and said: "Princess Ning, please run for a while. We have already found out the details of this person. Thanks to Brother Ning who works under the Minister of Criminal Affairs."

Xiao Yunheng and Lu Xiyue's eyes fell on Ning Yi's calm face at the same time.

The latter hooked his lips with a very shallow arc.

"General Zheng is overrated." Ning Yi said modestly.

Unexpectedly, he had already joined under the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

"Really, who sent this person?" Xiao Yunheng asked cooperatively.

"I'm sorry I can't disclose this."

Xiao Yunheng understood, "Since this is the case, then this king will not bother General Zheng."

He took Lu Xiyue's hand and made way for the two of them.

"Let me take my leave first." The Secretary of Huangcheng left quickly without delay.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Lu Xiyue licked her lips, "I didn't expect him to gain the trust of the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice in such a short period of time."

After Wei Ning left, the contact between them was broken.

Unexpectedly, when they met again, he would transform from the leader of a quack assassin organization into a court official.

"I don't know if Yao Xinyu and Ji Wuhen have seen him."

Xiao Yunheng said calmly, "Even if I saw him, I wouldn't recognize him."

Wei Ning changed not only his appearance, but also his own demeanor.

"That's right." Lu Xiyue nodded, "Since I'm fine, I'll leave first."

"I send you."

When the two walked to the gate of the courtyard, they ran into Zhou Wei, the servant.

"Oh, my lord, you are here, my concubine. It's really easy for me to find."

"Is there something wrong with the father-in-law?"

"Your Majesty said, let you go and have a look at Wuliang's envoy."

Although the envoy of Wuliang was out of danger with the consultation of two imperial physicians, Lu Xiyue's medical skills were recognized by all the imperial physicians.

It's more reassuring to have her seen it.

Lu Xiyue was puzzled: "Isn't the envoy already out of danger?"

"The slave is also following His Majesty's order." Zhou Wei said with a smile.

"Then let's go and have a look, and ask the father-in-law to lead the way."

Zhou Wei glanced at the young man next to the girl, and when he touched the stunning light and shadow, he shrank his neck silently.

"My lord, please come this way, my princess."

It was really strange, it was already summer, and he still felt cold.

Wuliang's envoys are currently arranged in the guest room of the owner of the medical hall.
