Chapter 186: Life hangs by a thread

In the dead of night, there was still no movement outside the door, originally every day at this hour, Gao Heng would come to the door to stand for a while, by the way to remove the note he pasted, and then quietly left, like a child who had done something wrong.

But now not to mention Gao Heng, even the subordinates who patrol the night have not passed in front of the door, and the entire palace seems to be the only one left, and there is this fierce "black master" who came out of nowhere in front of him.

Cheng Jinzhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, strongly suppressed the fear that his heart was hanging by a thread, and looked at the man in black opposite with sharp eyes.

"You... Who the hell are you, what do you want?"

"It seems that you are not as weak and timid as I thought, at least you dare to look me in the eye and speak. ”

The man in black narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his eyebrows, and after glancing at the door vigilantly, he raised his sword and forced Cheng Jinzhi back into the inner room.

"It's not good, I can't go any further, otherwise if someone comes outside the door for a while, I won't be able to hear them even if I call them. ”

Cheng Jinzhi's eyes tightened, and his feet slowly turned his steps sideways to the side, trying to turn around.

"Hmph, I know what you're thinking, don't play tricks on me. ”

The man in black smiled coldly, and pushed the sword towards Cheng Jinzhi's white skin a few inches, and the undercurrent in his cold eyes was surging, adding a touch of fierce chill.

With a sharp pain in his neck, Cheng Jinzhi wanted to cry without tears, and his whole heart hung in his throat, and he was about to pop out of his mouth.

"Listen, I don't have time to spend time with you here, I'll ask you a few questions now, you have to answer me honestly, if you don't cooperate well, just wait for King Yan to collect the body for you! I think if he loses such a beautiful wife, he must be grief-stricken. ”

The man in black wanted to raise his hand to caress the tender white face of the golden branch, but fortunately, she dodged it in time, and she had already vomited in her heart.

"It's really funny, how can anyone ask for help, and put a sword against someone's neck. ”

Cheng Jinzhi said tremblingly, rolling his eyes calmly, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

If the person in front of him was really Gu Chen, and he and his well water did not interfere with the river water, why did he take the risk of going to the palace to relieve his doubts?

Even if you want to clear your doubts, you should find Gao Heng, not her deep daughter who is not involved in disputes.

So far, Cheng Jinzhi can only guess that it is probably because he seems to be powerless, which is much easier to deal with than Gao Heng, who is shrewd and witty and has martial arts, right?

She thought to herself, her eyes rolled around, and she saw the man in black laughing, and then regained his grim solemnity.

"Let me ask you, how much do you know about the case in the prison of the Criminal Department?"

As soon as he heard this person ask about the case of the prison of the Criminal Department, Cheng Jinzhi was already sure in his heart that he was the Gu Chen who he and Gao Heng wanted to arrest and bring to justice and clear Gu Han of suspicion.

But why Gu Chen left the Jade Pavilion, and why he sneaked into the palace at this moment, the purpose of sneaking into the palace at night is not clear at all, and it may be related to the Jade Yin Villa.

For now, Cheng Jinzhi can only delay as much time as possible, looking for an opportunity to call for help, and by the way, even he was arrested.

After all, the person in front of him is a vicious wolf who is in the rivers and lakes, and he is still scheming at the end of the world.

"Oh, what did you say about the case of the Heavenly Prison of the Criminal Department......" Cheng Jinzhi pretended to be serious and thoughtful, "What do you want to know?

"I heard that King Yan is looking for a person named Gu Chen recently, do you know?"

"There's nothing wrong with this person, right? Aren't you the same Gu Chen yourself? I think I won't be able to recognize you if you take a footcloth to cover your face?"

Cheng Jinzhi muttered silently in his heart, expecting that he might not know that he had discovered his identity, so he was not ready to debunk it in a hurry, but followed his words.

"Gu Chen, I know. Cheng Jinzhi nodded seriously and said, "I heard His Royal Highness King Yan say that he is the key person in this case, and catching him can not only find out who is behind the scenes, but also return the young master of the Gu family to a clean slate." ”

When Gu Chen heard this, the hand holding the hilt of the sword trembled slightly, and he seemed to be a little nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Then King Yan has already found someone?"

"It's like... I don't think so. Cheng Jinzhi pursed his lips, looked out of the door with a nervous expression, and said casually, "But it is said that his whereabouts are already there, and he must be arrested soon." It's just that His Highness didn't tell me where this person was at the moment. Anyway, I'm a woman, and I don't bother to bother with these things, I just hope that I can catch someone smoothly. ”

"Are you really not aware, or are you deliberately hiding it from me?"

Gu Chen approached Cheng Jinzhi, his eyes lit up, Huo Ran increased his volume, and Cheng Jinzhi trembled physically and mentally.

"You... You're all pointing your sword at me, it's good that I didn't cry to you, how dare you hide anything? No matter what I do, I won't be at fault with my own life. ”

In fact, the reason why Gu Chen risked being discovered to ask these questions was to figure out the situation he was in now.

Due to being trapped in the Jade Pavilion for a long time, he was actually ignorant of the current development of events and the course of the case.

It is precisely because of this that he has no bottom in his heart and is frightened, so he can only agree to complete Xu Ruyan's request in advance, so as to find a way out for himself.

According to Xu Ruyan's idea, the reason why she was willing to let the tiger return to the mountain was just to use Gu Chen to kill people with a knife.

In her plan, even if Gu Chen really succeeded in killing Cheng Jinzhi this time and returned safely, she didn't plan to really return him to freedom, and would still hand it over to Gao Heng in the end.

On the contrary, if Gu Chen failed to succeed or fell into the hands of Gao Heng, then as long as she lied that the guards of the Jade Pavilion accidentally let Gu Chen escape, the matter would not be implicated in her.

But Cheng Jinzhi didn't know Xu Ruyan's sinister intentions, let alone Gu Chen's intentions.

At the moment, he didn't dare to make up nonsense, for fear that he would be angry and kill himself, and he didn't dare to reveal too much rashly, so as not to spoil the big thing.

The most important thing is that I don't know when someone will come to the rescue.

I can't describe how uncomfortable, how bad, and how frightening this feeling is.

It's like a bird with broken wings that is aimed at by a hunter with a bow and arrow, and you don't know when he will shoot the arrow, but you don't even have a chance to escape.

Seeing that Gu Chen suddenly stopped talking, Cheng Jinzhi turned his head and glanced at him uneasily, but it was okay not to look at it, but when he saw it, he saw the murderous aura spreading out from his eyes.

"Help, where is this Yan King now, you should come and save me......"

Cheng Jinzhi clenched his fists, stared at the door frame that was not moving, gritted his teeth and muttered over and over again in his heart, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

"You... You're done with all your questions, it's time to let me go, right?"

"Actually, I don't want to kill you. ”

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the tingling pain in his neck suddenly intensified, and Gu Chen's cold voice floated faintly in his ears.

"But you can't blame me for being entrusted with loyalty. ”
