Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 102 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey (third watch)
Sending away Ruoshui who pretended to be dizzy to escape reality while being startled and frightened, Ji Wuyan's few laziness disappeared in an instant.

She got up slowly, walked up to the opponent and stood still, her red lips parted slightly, "Hit."

The girl's voice was gentle, vaguely childish and soft, and it suddenly sounded more than gentle, but not imposing.

The voice fell, and the whip was out.

There are no people watching the theater, so there is no interest in acting. There is heavy rain between the sky and the earth, but in this short tower that has gone through many years of vicissitudes, there is only one sound of whipping, and a completely real, ear-splitting sound. He roared like a tearing pain.

"I, I... I said!"

The instinct to survive that burst out from his throat condensed into a final cry.

The whip stopped suddenly.

Who would have thought that a man who always had an elegant smile on weekdays would be... equally elegant and calm when beating someone.

It's as easy as just lowering your head and dusting off the dust on the hem of your clothes.

With the whip closed, Gucuo took a step back and stood behind Ji Wuyan again, silent and leisurely, gentle and indulgent.

The blindfolded man had already lost all his sanity in the pain, the whip stopped suddenly, and he yelled hastily, "I, I say!" In the dark world, all senses are infinitely suppressed, pain, fear, and so on. There is... hearing.

But the perception of time has become extremely slow.

He didn't know how long it had been, how much blood he had bled, and how much blood he had left.

He doesn't want to die.

"Oh. Don't worry." Ji Wuyan just turned around and looked into the corner where the light couldn't find it.

There, there were two other men whose limbs were tightly bound, their mouths were sealed, and they were forced to watch the inhuman torture their accomplice suffered.Ji Wuyan looked at them and asked very calmly, "You guys... want to try it?"

It's rare to kill a chicken, so naturally it can't be wasted, and by the way, it's a warning to a monkey.

……

The windows and doors were closed tightly, and the smell of blood gradually became stronger.

The hanging person was still hanging, and the other two were lifted into the light, where Ruoshui was sitting just now.

Obviously, the other party only has a gentle-looking man and a girl who is powerless, and even if they exclude the non-combat force who is hanging, there are still two who can fight.But... They looked at each other, lowered their heads, and avoided their eyes, "I, I said."

"We are the guards of the Prince's Mansion in Jiangdu County...I didn't lie to you, this can't be faked."

Ji Wuyan changed his posture, leaned against the back of the chair, took the tea cup handed over by Gu Cuo, and took a sip, "Continue."

On the surface, it was impossible to tell whether he believed it or not, and his eyes did not change.

But in his heart he was thinking and sneering, Jiangdu County King... Another Jiangdu County King, the emperor's three sons, all of them lived together at once.

The other party looked up at Ji Wuyan, and for a while didn't know how to express this somewhat weird thing to them, "Our county king doesn't believe the autopsy results of Wu Zuo on the princess... that's that, that rumor. "

According to the confession of these two, the Prince of Jiangdu secretly admired Shangguan Yuan for a long time.Since Shangguan Yuan passed away, Li Yanxian, the king of Jiangdu County, began to get drunk every day, and the drunk time was longer than the sober time.It was not until half a month ago that I became sober.

After waking up, he decided that there must be something hidden about the death of the crown princess, or even grievances, so he first approached Xu Siniang, who was doing the autopsy on Shangguan Yuan at the time.

It's just that Xu Siniang firmly insisted that this matter is before His Majesty, and there is only this result. As for whether there is any grievance in the case, whether it was set on fire or murder, it is not something that Xu Siniang can control.

With a blunt attitude, they broke up unhappy.

Ji Wuyan listened with lowered eyes, and when she saw them stop, she turned the tea water and raised her eyelids and asked, "So, what are you looking for at Xu Si Niang's house?"

The other party was taken aback for a moment, and then secretly called each other's eyes, and one of them said hesitantly, "Just, just... the king of the county said that Xu Siniang will definitely leave some real evidence at home, so let's go find it." Give it a go, maybe you can find..."

After speaking, he secretly glanced at Ji Wuyan.

Ah.

What an infatuated and sad person.

Ji Wuyan sneered silently, and asked again, "Your master, did you wake up half a month ago?"

"Yes..." He sneaked another glance, then looked back at his companion who was covered in blood and didn't know whether it was dead or alive, and swallowed, "Girl, I have said everything that should be said, what should not be said, We also said... we are just doing things for others, we were a thief for a while, also, also... the crime is not worthy of death..."

"So... did you find it?"

"No, no... No, I was looking for it, this, this big brother led someone to take us all..."

"Are you still looking for it?"

"What? No, no, no more..." He shook his head like a rattle.

Ji Wuyan handed back the teacup in his hand, Gucuo took it and put it on the table behind him, Ji Wuyan turned to lean on it, "Then you don't even listen to your master's orders, why don't you go back? Have to be punished again?"

The other party froze, as if he hadn't thought of this level at all, "This..." looked at each other in blank dismay, how should I answer this?

"The man of Jiangdu County King, I believe." Ji Wuyan leaned forward slightly, and met the other party's sneaky eyes, and the other party shrank back quickly after being stared at by her.

"It's just that I don't believe any other words."

"Shen Luoxin's house is only around the size of a circle. It's worth your troubles there day and night. I heard that they secretly started a fire to cook? Are you looking for something? You are... just waiting for a rabbit! But I didn't expect that, The rabbit didn't enter the door, the wolf did, and they will take you all together."

The other party's expression changed instantly.

"Jiangdu County King... a member of the royal family, a virtuous concubine is favored, and a son is as valuable as his mother. I can't afford to offend here." Ji Wuyan smiled and stood up, "You don't think naively that after entering Here I am, I didn’t hide it, so after that, you can go back alive to see your master and bring your master to take me here? Really childish..."

After changing the subject, he asked again, "There are so many murders in Yanjing City, your master did it, right?"

"not us!"

After the words fell, they all fell silent, and the two of them instantly understood...they had revealed their secrets.

There were many murders in the city, and the emperor personally suppressed them. No one knew about them except the people in Dali Temple.They are just ordinary subordinates of the county prince's mansion, how can they know these things?
The wind is heavy and the rain is urgent.

The girl turned her back slowly, and walked towards the stairs, her voice was filled with indifference, "So... it's not like I've wronged you."
