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

As soon as she got up from the bed, she was thrown between the beds by someone who rushed in.

"Miss, I'm here!"

Nangong Yuan patted her shoulder: "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"

"I'm just a little worried because I'm not with the young lady."

Tao Zhu looked carefully and found that she was indeed not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, go ahead, I need to get up."

"I'll go get some water. Please wait a moment, miss." She went out of the house and quickly got some hot water, then handed a towel to Nangong Yuan.

She washed up quickly and took the opportunity to tell Tao Zhu what happened last night.

"It's good to catch him, but I didn't expect that Night King would also come to Wucheng. It seems that Wang Jiu's identity is not simple."

Nangong Yuan nodded: "That's right, but I just can't understand, since this person is so important, why not send a few guards to protect him."

"I don't know. Do you think it's more convenient to do things alone?"

After breakfast, the two men left the government office.

"Master Nan, you're awake. How did you sleep last night?"

She smiled and said, "Very good, what are you going to do now, sir?"

"Go and try the case. Now that the criminal has been caught, the right thing to do is to make a quick decision."

Chen Qian was very anxious, and no wonder he was so anxious, because Xiao Heyun even came in person for this matter.

Moreover, the person died in his territory. It would be fine if Xiao Heyun did not pursue the matter, but if he could not even catch the murderer, he would have no place in the world.

"Then I'll go with the adults."

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Chen Qian did not refuse. He was an official who was very approachable and sometimes even like an old uncle next door. He was very easy to get along with.

Nangong Yuan followed her to the cell and saw Liu Xiaoan and the others there.

"Sir, Master Nan."

Chen Qian waved his hand: "Have you confessed?"

"I said a little, but I haven't finished vomiting yet."

So Nangong Yuan stood by and listened with a sword in his arms.

From the mouths of these people, we were able to roughly piece together the truth of the matter.

It turned out that Wang Jiu came with guards, but these people set a trap and cut him off from the guards.

"The three of us can pretend to be a family of three and kill them all using the same strategy."

Originally Wang Jiu was waiting for them to come back in the inn, but ended up being chased by the other party.

"That damn woman acted so weak and timid that Wang Jiu let down his guard."

At that time, the dwarf was held in her arms and Wang Jiu was shot dead by her.

"After the person died, we immediately crawled back into the house from the window and no one noticed."

At that time, Nangong Yuan was wondering why Wang Jiu would open the door for others.

As a wealthy merchant, he should not lack vigilance.

But when meeting these three people, everyone will hesitate for a moment.

Few people can sense something is wrong at first sight. Nangong Yuan didn't notice it at the time, but only realized it later when he was reminded.

"What about the token he got from me?"

The dwarf said, "It is buried under the wall outside the city."

These things were originally going to be taken away, but Wang Jiu had a special identity and keeping them might cause hidden dangers, so a few people discussed and buried them in the ground.

"Why do this?"

"That's what you asked. After a few years when no one remembers this, you can take it out and exchange it for money."

Liu Xiaoan was recording the case files at a distance, looking very serious.

"Don't remember it yet, they are lying."

Nangong Yuan spoke coldly and said this.

"Uh, why do you say that, Master Nan?"

Since Chen Qian was too kind, he rarely used torture when interrogating the prisoner. So what could he get out of this question?

She looked at the dwarf and said, "Wang Jiu has such a special identity, why did you choose to target him? Was it someone else who instructed you to do it or was it you who did it?"

An extremely fierce look flashed in the man's eyes, as if he wanted to tear Nangong Yuan to pieces.

But she was not afraid at all and didn't care.

"The token on Wang Jiu's body was sent from Qingzhou. You should know that there are alleys in Qingzhou. The profit of doing business is huge. No one can refuse it. You buried it. Why don't you bury yourself?"

Nangong Yuan spoke with contempt, belittling them as worthless.

"I didn't know that the prince sent him before, so... the so-called cooperation between the three of you to kill his guards, isn't that a joke?"

Before anyone could say anything, the sound of wheel wheels was heard behind them.

"Mr. Nan is right. This is also what I am confused about."

Everyone bowed their heads quickly and saluted, and Nangong Yuan was no exception.

"Everyone, stand up. Interrogate them first."

Xiao Heyun sat down beside her, glanced at her, and said softly: "Anything else to say?"

"nature········."

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she was still very dedicated because of the task ahead.

"One last question. A musket is not something that a killer can own. Who gave it to you?"

The dwarf looked like a devil, grinning: "Hahaha, you do have a brain, but so what? I won't tell you."

"Li Jin, go."

The next moment, the man was stabbed through.

This behavior was so exaggerated and cruel that several people present were unable to react.

Chen Qian felt a little dizzy. He stared at the scene blankly and said, "This, this, this..."

"Send Master Chen out first. The scene that follows may not be very pleasant to watch."

In order to avoid fainting on the spot, Chen Qian left quickly.

Li Jin looked down at the dwarf. "You can say nothing, but you still have two friends. If they kill you, they will tell the news. Think about it carefully."

The pain and the threat are all around.

The dwarf's hideous face almost looks like a scary monkey, giving people an evil and cold feeling.

Li Jin didn't seem to feel anything at all: "You don't know about military punishments, but now you seem to be interested? Then I'll give it a try."

The next moment, blood splattered everywhere.

"what!!!!!"

Screams echoed throughout the dungeon, and the noise frightened the two people who were imprisoned nearby and made them feel uneasy.

Originally, they were not worried because Wucheng rarely tortured criminals.

But listening to the noise now, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Don't move, don't move, I'll tell you what I'm saying!"

The dwarf looked tough, but in fact he gave in before he could even carry out half of the punishment.

Nangong Yuan looked at this scene with a mocking expression.

"What the hell, I thought it would last a long time."

She said this in a low voice.

"Mr. Nan is right. These people are just strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

Xiao Heyun suddenly took over the conversation. She was stunned for a moment and said, "Haha, let me tell you about that."

The following words revealed the unusualness of this case.

In order to prevent Li Jin from turning him into a human stick, he confessed everything in a rush.

"We were indeed ordered by someone. Every time they saw us, they were wearing black robes and our faces were completely invisible."
