Chapter 260 Chapter 260
She has one and only one chance.

So Rui'er is full of hope that she can hit it with one blow. The person who gave her this hidden weapon at the beginning also said that this thing is a hundred hits.

After launching a wave of hidden weapons, Rui'er put away the hidden weapon box, and was ready to test the fruits of her victory. Later, she took the frail Aunt Zhou hostage and walked out of the Northland alive to reunite with her family!
But what did she see? !

On the opposite side, Xu Ji stood safe and sound, with a cold expression, a straight posture, and even a slight sarcasm on his face, as if to say: "That's it?"

Rui'er was terrified, and involuntarily took two steps back. In her flustered eyes, she saw the heads of inspectors protruding from the roof and the wall. Everyone was holding a crossbow in their hands, and the arrows shining with cold light were all aimed at her.

Xu Ji shook his sleeves, and the fine ox hair needles made a small tinkling sound and fell to the ground one after another.

She prepared magnets, because hidden weapons in this era are basically made of iron, just in case, and she also wore armor.

Of course, there is no need to tell Ruier about this inside story.

An inspector came over the wall, pushed Rui'er to the ground, and tied her arms.

Rui'er didn't resist. At this time, she still can't see the situation clearly?No matter how you struggle, it is a dead end.

After Rui'er was escorted away, Aunt Zhou came out with a sad expression: "Aqi, I have caused you trouble."

"Don't say such things," Xu Ji didn't care, "Even if it wasn't from you, there would be spies sneaking in from other places.

"Since they have made up their minds, they will penetrate everywhere."

For the sake of caution, Aunt Zhou needs to change her residence temporarily, and she needs to check thoroughly here.

It was not so easy to pry Rui'er's mouth open, and Rui'er did not confess until the third day after being caught.

She was indeed ordered to come to carry out the assassination.

Their family was originally a busker who traveled all over the world. She was selected to assassinate, and her family members were detained. The employer stated that as long as she succeeds in the assassination, the family will be reunited and they will be rewarded generously.

If she doesn't succeed, her family will still be rewarded generously no matter whether she lives or dies.

But if she tried to lead people to find an employer, her family would surely die.

As for the employer, it was a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance who could never be found after being thrown into the crowd. He was also plainly dressed, but he was very generous. He paid a full 50 taels of silver as a deposit.

The family is always suffering from hunger and cold, 50 taels of silver is already a huge sum of money that can touch people's hearts for them, not to mention the gratitude after the work is done.

So Ruier readily agreed.

As for what kind of person to kill, it has nothing to do with her. In their situation, their conscience is gone.

Does Rui'er have any accomplices?

Of course there were, but when they arrived near Xucheng, they split up and acted separately. Rui'er didn't know where the others went or what the other party's mission was.

As for Tongdang's appearance... Speaking of Rui'er herself, she is a very ordinary-looking little girl.

Her party is also the same type of people.

The investigation is deadlocked.

Xu Jilue pondered for a while, and sent someone to send Rui'er to Luo Hongzhang, hoping to help Luo Hongzhang's interrogation. She knew that Luo Hongzhang had also caught two spies there.

Because of the spy incident, everyone's preparations for the New Year are a little bit weak.

In addition to official inspections, the people themselves have also actively launched self-inspections, which is unexpected.
