After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

Nangong Yuan thought for a moment and decided, "Find out the real culprit behind this and give justice to the dead!"

[Didi, mission depth +30]

A few lines of text pop up in the task panel.

[You are a rich lady, and also a pioneer who dispels the conspiracy. Although you are a woman, you are not inferior to men. You have great love in your heart but also a little evil. You are a charming and dangerous supporting role in everyone's eyes.]

Nangong Yuan's thoughts were interrupted by the beeping sound of the system. She looked at the comment in silence and got goose bumps.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The system pops up a smiling emoticon package [Host, please continue to work hard. The mission content has been unlocked by 30%, and there is still room for improvement. ]

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan's depressed mood lightened up a little.

In such a tight conspiracy, she sometimes felt suffocated.

But the existence of the system showed that she was an outsider, giving her a moment of leeway to avoid facing blood and cruelty.

"Okay, by the way, Miss, the master has also entered the palace and brought some warm clothes with him."

Nangong Yuan nodded and said, "Let's go and report that we are safe."

I'm sure my dad would be so anxious that he would jump up and down when he heard the news.

"Yes."

·······

On the other hand, the interrogation by the three judges was still going on.

"We just can't stand these dignitaries, so we're taking revenge!"

The Dali Temple official snorted coldly: "Nonsense! We checked Huaishan and found that you were hunting down the Night King long before the banquet started!"

Even though the Night King is now useless, no one cares about this since he is involved in such a big case.

"Humph, we ordinary people are starving and eating mud, while you guys are eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks. We can't stand it, so we kill people!"

The director of the procuratorate sighed: "These people are talking around the bush. Let's torture them. We have to get the truth out of them no matter what."

"Yes!"

Soon, screams of pain were heard in the prison.

The emperor himself was waiting for news in the hall.

"You mean, this group of people were originally hunting down the Night King?"

The Jinwu Guard nodded and said, "I have traced this group of people to Huaishan. They started from Huaishan and followed them all the way to the mountain villa near Prince Li's mansion."

"Where is the Night King?"

The eunuch at the side walked out and said, "Your Majesty, he is being treated in the back hall."

"Call him over."

"Uh, your majesty, the Night King is badly injured and is unconscious right now. I'm afraid he can't come."

The emperor then turned around and asked: "How could this happen?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, but the guards around the prince are here. You can ask about the situation first."

Li Jin was brought in soon.

As soon as he arrived, he knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to make a decision: "This group of assassins had been pursuing the prince relentlessly before. At that time, they shot and injured one of the prince's legs on the border battlefield. I didn't expect that they would still not let him go after returning to the capital."

The emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "What are you doing in Huaishan?"

"Your Majesty, today is the anniversary of the death of the prince's grandfather. Since there is no one in the Liu family, the prince went out of the house to pay homage."

Speaking of this, the emperor's expression softened a little.

"It's really worrying that he ran away before his leg was healed."

Li Jin kowtowed several times: "It would be fine if these assassins assassinated the prince, but they were so brazen that they attacked the ladies of the official family. They are really crazy. Your Majesty, please make the decision and severely punish the real culprit."

"Of course, these assassins don't take me seriously. How outrageous!"

The emperor was furious and asked the three judicial officials to investigate the case immediately.

The Jinwu Guards were also investigating in the Huaishan area, waiting to uncover the assassin's background.

At this time, the assassins in prison were assassinated.

"A bunch of rubbish, two people can't even keep an eye on them, what are they doing for a living!"

The three judges took the lead and knelt down to ask His Majesty to calm down.

"The assassin also confessed some things before his death." The Dali Temple Minister handed over the petition.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty threw it down as soon as he saw it: "Bullshit, you brought this up!"

The Dali Temple Minister hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down. It's really that the assassin is too stubborn and refuses to confess the truth."

There's no point getting angry, the assassins are all dead and the investigation has reached a bottleneck.

So many things happened that night that it was hard to keep up.

Gu Zian had also dealt with the aftermath and came into the palace: "Your Majesty, there were several ladies who were assassinated that day. You can call them in to ask about the situation."

They examined the assassin's body and found nothing special.

The person we captured alive died again. Now we are helpless and have to find other ways.

"Several women were injured. What can you tell?"

Gu Zian said, "The general's daughter, Miss Nangong, was there that day. She captured several assassins alive, so she should know the situation."

After hearing what he said, the emperor sent someone to invite Nangong Yuan.

As she entered the palace, she noticed several burning gazes.

But Nangong Yuan ignored it and stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty, may you be well."

"Get up. I called you here mainly to investigate the case. Zi'an said you fought with an assassin?"

Nangong Yuan said, "Your Majesty, it is true. That day, we left Liwang Villa and walked about four miles when we heard someone screaming."

She recalled and recounted what happened one by one.

"The prince was covered in blood, so I had to rescue him first. Unexpectedly, the assassins attacked the rest of the group when they saw they couldn't kill the prince."

Nangong Yuan's eyes were red when he said this, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the Night King is no doubt a relative of the royal family of Dajing, your Majesty's biological son. These assassins are so bold that they disregarded your majesty's dignity and even trampled on the reputation of the Three Law Enforcement Departments and the City Defense Office!"

"Now he dares to sneak into the prison to assassinate a living person. I think he has big plans. He must be severely punished."

The emperor was not a fool. Nangong Yuan brought up this matter specifically to make him suspicious.

The person who could kill someone under the noses of the Three Law Officials must be someone in the court or someone who knows the inside story.

This group of people are unscrupulous and do not take the imperial power seriously at all.

For the emperor, such provocation is absolutely unacceptable.

And wasn’t the assassination of the Night King just for his military power?

If Xiao Heyun died, the murderer behind the scenes would definitely succeed.

The emperor certainly would not want to let such a dangerous person achieve his wish.

At that moment, the emperor's eyes changed: "You are right, this matter must be severely punished!"

The three judicial officials were crying "Catch the thief!", and Prince Li was almost going crazy because of his desire for military power. The Queen sent people to assassinate Xiao Heyun but failed, so he was very panicked at the moment.

And Nangong Yuan retired after accomplishing his mission.

She stood up and fought bravely that day, and was praised by the emperor, who also gave her a lot of treasures.

"Miss, it seems that His Majesty really appreciates you."

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. He gave these things for other reasons."

She could guess why.
