After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

However, just when Han Zicheng was about to open his mouth triumphantly, an arrow suddenly rushed out and hit Han Zicheng in the abdomen. He fell to the ground before he could stop the smile on his face.

Dahei and the others hurried up, half of them protected Liu Yunxiang and the other half chased the archer.

Liu Yunxiang hurried to see Han Zicheng. He was still awake. The arrow looked homemade. The arrow was rough and the arrow was not sharp enough. It did not penetrate Han Zicheng's body at all.

"Tell me, who asked you to kill Nian'er?" she asked hurriedly.

Han Zicheng had already seen Dahei and the others and knew it was a trap. He was staring angrily at Liu Yunxiang, how could he say anything further.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yunxiang gave up hope and said, "Okay, let's take him back to the Criminal Department."

Dahei and the others took Han Zicheng away first, and Liu Yunxiang waited for Zijin to arrive before taking a carriage back to the city. It started raining halfway, and the rain got heavier and heavier. Fortunately, it was easy to walk when we reached the official road.

But at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped. Liu Yunxiang stumbled forward and asked Zijin what was going on.

She heard no answer, only the sounds of fighting outside.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but patted his chest, and hurriedly opened the car curtain to take a look. He saw Zi Jin fighting a short man under the rain curtain. The man was still wearing a veil and had a sword in his hand. His swordsmanship was extremely fierce.

He hit Zijin's vital parts with every move, with the attitude of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging himself by eight hundred. He glanced towards the carriage from time to time, as if he was eager to kill her.

Perhaps it was because of this eagerness that a flaw was exposed, and Zijin saw the opportunity and stabbed it with his sword. The man took several steps back and his arm was injured. Knowing that there was no benefit to be gained, he hurriedly ran away.

Zijin did not dare to chase him, so he immediately returned to the carriage and drove to the city.

Someone wanted to kill her, which was actually not surprising. Both the palace and Shangguan Xu had this idea. It’s just that the Zhenbei Army is in Nanzhou now. If they kill her, are they not afraid that Yan Mu will mobilize the Zhenbei Army and go straight to the north?

I believe that the emperor and Shangguan Xu can also think of this, so it is unlikely that it is them, especially if they want to kill her, they will not send only this person.

Back in the city, Liu Yunxiang did not go back to his hometown, but went to the Ministry of Justice's mansion. It happened that Yan Mu also came. Dahei followed him and was describing what happened in the woods. He was very happy, but he didn't see Yan Mu. The more he listened, the darker his face became.

Liu Yunxiang was waiting for him at the door. When he came over with an umbrella, he happily stepped forward and called out: "Husband."

When Yan Mu saw her, his face became even darker, and he ignored her and continued walking inside.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly caught up and said flatteringly: "Husband, let me hold an umbrella for you."

"Watch out for puddles."

"It rains and cools in autumn, but you don't wear more clothes."

However, she said a lot of nice things, but Yan Mu still ignored her, but Dahei next to him looked at her blankly.

"Princess, I thought you had a high status in the family."

Liu Yunxiang glared at him, "What did you just say in such detail? Why don't you know how to avoid the important and ignore the easy?"

"what?"

Liu Yunxiang chased Yan Mu until he reached the place where the Criminal Department temporarily placed prisoners. Han Zicheng was there. Because he was injured, he first went to a doctor to treat him.

Liu Yunxiang wanted to follow, but Yan Mu blocked her.

"This is a government office. Even though you are a princess, you should know how to avoid it."

"I can confront him!"

"No, this is an official matter, not yours."

Liu Yunxiang saw that Yan Mu was really angry and didn't discuss it with him. He was indeed at fault, so he didn't say anything at the moment and just waited outside.

Yan Mu walked inside. This was a room with closed windows because criminals were imprisoned. Although it was raining outside, it was quite stuffy inside. Yan Mu walked in, and the doctor had just bandaged Han Zicheng's wound, and Han Zicheng was leaning on the bed rail, looking leisurely and contented.

After the doctor left, Yan Mu took a few steps closer and said, "You have admitted that you killed Nian'er. Do you still admit it?"

Han Zicheng chuckled, "I don't remember what I said."

"The Ministry of Punishment has sent 12 people to testify. If you admit it yourself, you can't rely on it."

Han Zicheng gritted his teeth secretly, "If I don't admit it...well..."

Yan Mu stepped on Han Zicheng's injured abdomen, and blood immediately seeped out, staining the freshly bandaged fine cloth red.

"With so many people testifying, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not."

Han Zicheng was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat. He looked at Yan Mu, who looked aloof and aloof, but he was still as embarrassed as a dog.

"I am the chief eunuch in the palace. If you arrest me, you need to report it to the palace."

"Don't worry, I will go to the palace to report, but before that, I don't mind killing you first!"

"You, you dare!"

"A dog slave, what can I dare not do?"

Yan Mu's feet were still exerting force, but Han Zicheng's whole body began to twitch in pain, and blood spurted out, turning his eyes red. He snorted first, then laughed.

"Just in the woods, I was so close to succeeding. I would rape your woman and torture her bit by bit, using the darkest means and the most obscene way. I...ah!"

Han Zicheng was kicked out by Yan Mu, and then he hit the wall hard and vomited a mouthful of blood.

"I'm not willing...I'm not willing! Why can you step on me, but I can't step on you!"

"I heard that I castrated you?" Yan Mu looked disgusted, "Indeed, castrating you will make you suffer thousands of times more than killing you with a sword!"

"Yan Mu!" Han Zicheng roared.

"Put him in jail, don't let him confess first, and wait for torture. And don't let him die, let him breathe, and let him enjoy all the instruments of torture."

The big black-haired man said in a cold sweat, "Yes."

Han Zicheng saw Yan Mu's cruelty and shouted: "Don't you want to know more from me? For example, why did I kill Nian'er? Who is the person behind me?"

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "I don't need to know."

"You!" Han Zicheng's eyes widened, "Maybe you already know?"

"As long as I don't know the final truth, I will not fall into Shangguan Xu's clues, but this does not prevent me from catching you, the murderer."

"You..." Han Zicheng began to chatter with his teeth. He knew that he might become an outcast.

"By the way, besides Nian'er, you also killed Lan Xiang."

"I do not have!"

Yan Mu curled his lips and said, "This king says you will kill him, so you kill him!"

Yan Mu walked out and Dahei followed.

"Has the person who shot him been caught?"

"No, that man's kung fu is very good, we didn't even touch him."

"Don't finalize the case yet, continue the investigation."

"what?"

"Releasing the news that Mrs. Dingyuanhou is pregnant, and then surrounding Zhuangzi in Dingyuanhou Mansion to investigate."

Dahei scratched his head, he still couldn't understand, whether his brain had deteriorated recently or whether His Highness and Princess were too smart, why he was always confused when following them.

Coming out of the house, a cup of hot tea was served.

"Husband, it's getting cold. Let's drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up." Liu Yunxiang said with a flattering look on his face.

Seeing her like this, Yan Mu felt a little softer, but thinking about what Han Zicheng said, his heart felt like it was twisted. He didn't know whether it was anger or something, but he felt uncomfortable anyway.

"Don't interfere with the case anymore."

"I also want to help you."

"No need."

After saying that, Yan Mu strode out.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, she was like this, but he was still angry like this, it was too much!
