Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 555 Angry

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

Dahei and the others hurried up, half of them protecting Liu Yunxiang and the other half chasing the archer.

Liu Yunxiang hurried to see Han Zicheng, he was still awake, the arrow looked like it was homemade, the body of the arrow was very rough, and the arrow was probably not sharp enough, it didn't penetrate Han Zicheng's body at all.

"Tell me, who told you to kill Nian'er?" She asked hastily.

Han Zicheng had already seen Dahei and the others, knew it was a trap, and now stared at Liu Yunxiang angrily, how could he continue talking.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yunxiang gave up hope, "Okay, let's take him back to the Ministry of Punishment."

Dahei and the others took Han Zicheng away first, and Liu Yunxiang waited for Zijin to come back to the city in a carriage. It started to rain halfway, and the rain became heavier and heavier. Fortunately, it was easy to walk on the official road.

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

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

Liu Yunxiang patted his chest involuntarily, and hurriedly opened the car curtain to look. Under the rain curtain, Zijin was fighting with a man of short stature. The man was still wearing a veil, holding a sword in his hand, and his sword skills were extremely fierce.

He hit Zijin's vitals with every move, as if he would injure the enemy one thousand and self-injure eight hundred. He also glanced at the carriage from time to time, as if he was eager to kill her.

Perhaps it was because of this eagerness that he exposed his flaws, but Zijin saw the timing and stabbed at him with his sword.The man took several steps back and his arm was injured, knowing that there was no benefit for him, he ran away in a hurry.

Zijin didn't dare to chase after him, so he immediately returned to the carriage and drove to the city in a hurry.

Someone wants to kill her, actually it's not surprising, both in the palace and Shangguan Xu's side, they all have such thoughts.It's just that the Zhenbei Army is in Nanzhou now, and they killed her, aren't they 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 they are the ones, 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 the mansion, but went to the office of the Ministry of Punishment. By coincidence, Yan Mu also came. Dahei followed him and was describing what happened in the forest. He was beaming, but did not see Yan Mu. The more he listened, the darker his face became.

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

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

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly chased after her, and said flatteringly, "Husband, let me hold an umbrella for you."

"Watch out for puddles on the ground."

"One autumn rain and one cold, why don't you wear an extra dress."

However, she said a lot of good things, Yan Mu still ignored her, but Dahei next to her was stunned.

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

Liu Yunxiang glared at him, "What are you doing in such detail as you just said, if you don't know how to avoid the important ones?"

"what?"

Liu Yunxiang chased Yan Mu all the way to the place where the Criminal Ministry temporarily used to house prisoners.Han Zicheng was there, because he was injured, he first sought medical treatment from a doctor.

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

"This is the Yamen, 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."

Seeing that Yan Mu was really angry, Liu Yunxiang didn't discuss it with him. Indeed, he was also at fault, so he didn't say anything right away, just waiting outside.

Yan Mu walked inside, it was a room, the windows were sealed because the criminals were held there, although it was raining outside, it was quite stuffy inside.When Yan Mu walked in, the doctor happened to bandage Han Zicheng's wound, and Han Zicheng leaned against the bed rail, looking relaxed and content.

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

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

"There are 12 officials from the Ministry of Punishment who can testify. If you admit it yourself, you can't get away with it."

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

Yan Mu stepped on Han Zicheng's injured abdomen, and the blood immediately oozed out, staining the freshly wrapped muslin red.

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

Han Zicheng broke into a cold sweat from the pain, he looked at Yan Mu, he knew that he looked superior, 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 to the palace."

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

"You, you dare!"

"A dog slave, why wouldn't this king dare?"

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

"Just now in the woods, I almost succeeded. I will rape your woman, torture her bit by bit, use the darkest means, the most obscene way, I... ah!"

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

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

"I heard that I eunuched you?" Yan Mu looked disgusted, "Indeed, compared to killing you with a sword, eunuching you will make you a thousand times more painful!"

"Yan Mu!" Han Zicheng growled.

"Put him in the prison, don't let him confess, and serve him under torture. And don't let him die, save his breath, and let him enjoy all the instruments of torture."

The big black head sweated coldly, "Yes."

Seeing Yan Mu's ruthlessness, Han Zicheng 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, "Could it be that you already know?"

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

"You..." Han Zicheng began to chatter his teeth, and he knew that he might become an abandoned child.

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

"I do not have!"

Yan Mu pursed his lips, "This king said you would kill me, so you will kill me!"

Yan Mu went out, and Dahei followed.

"Has the man who shot him been caught?"

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

"Don't finalize the case yet, continue to investigate."

"what?"

"Release the news that Mrs. Dingyuanhou is pregnant, and then investigate around Zhuangzi in Dingyuanhou's mansion."

Dahei scratched his head, he still couldn't understand, whether his brain had degenerated recently or His Highness and Princess Wang 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, drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up." Liu Yunxiang said flatteringly.

Seeing her like this, Yan Mu's heart softened a little, but when he thought of what Han Zicheng said, his heart seemed to be twisted. He didn't know whether it was anger or something, but he was uncomfortable.

"Don't meddle in the case anymore."

"I want to help you too."

"No need."

After finishing speaking, Yan Mu strode out.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, she's already like this, he's still angry, it's too much!
