The 140th interrogation

"Who is your employer, and who do you want you to assassinate?" Huangfu Yongning turned the dagger in his hand and asked coldly, his eyes swept over the assassin's body, as if he was picking where to start.

The assassin's teeth chattered under the pressure of Huangfu Yongning's momentum, and he said tremblingly, "The employer did not come forward directly...... The middleman speaks...... Sell Jiang Buren's life for 50,000 taels of silver......"

Hearing such an answer, Huangfu Yongning and Gongsun Yuanqing were secretly taken aback, Huangfu Yongning originally thought that the assassin was here to assassinate him, but he didn't want the target to be her brother who didn't have a grudge against anyone at all. Gongsun Yuanqing was surprised and a thought came to his mind, if the assassin was not lying, then the assassination of Huangfu Yongan was only related to his treatment of Prince Le, and there should be someone who did not want Prince Le to get better.

"Why did you assassinate me?" Awakened by the sound of fighting, Emperor Fu Yongan walked out of his tent and asked in surprise when he heard the second half of the assassin's words. When Huangfu Yongan walked out, Ah Hei followed him closely, with a posture of close protection, and when the assassin saw this scene, a flash of horror flashed in his eyes, and he was looked at by Huangfu Yongning and Gongsun Yuanqing.

Gongsun Yuanqing lightly touched Huangfu Yongning's arm and glanced at her, Huangfu Yongning understood, and made a gesture to Ah Hei, who jumped in front of the assassin and roared at him, the bloody mouth and the shiny fangs shining with cold light looked extremely terrifying, and the assassin fainted in front of him. Seeing that the assassin was so unfrightened, Hei couldn't help but sit down depressed, stretched out his right front paw and poked the unconscious assassin, looking very bored.

After the Assassin fainted, Huangfu Yongning and Huangfu Yong'an Gongsun Yuanqing discussed in a low voice.

"Ah Ren, you have not taken official paths, how can these assassins know your whereabouts?" Gongsun Yuanqing frowned and asked his question.

Huangfu Yongning nodded and said: "Yuan Qing is right, we didn't take the official road, and no one followed us along the way, this assassin seems to have suddenly fallen from the sky." It's really strange, and Ah Ren, you have never made a feud with anyone, how can anyone spend so much money to buy your life? Huangfu Yongning has rich anti-tracking and anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and she said that if no one is tracking, no one must be tracking.

Gongsun Yuanqing listened to Huangfu Yongning's question, and said in a slightly hesitant whisper: "Could it be because Ah Ren treated Prince Le and hindered someone's business, so he would ......?"

"Impossible! Ah Huan has such a good temperament, so he will not make enemies with others. Huangfu Yongning interrupted Gongsun Yuanqing's words without thinking about it, and Gongsun Yuanqing's speculation made Huangfu Yongning very unhappy, so his tone of voice was a little rushed. Huangfu Yongning is a person with a strong desire to protect, but anyone who is included in the scope of protection by her is not allowed to say half a word, and now Qi Jinghuan has been included in the scope of protection by Huangfu Yongning, so naturally Gongsun Yuanqing can't say that he doesn't say anything.

Gongsun Yuanqing immediately closed his mouth, his heart was full of bitterness, he had always deceived himself into thinking that although the emperor gave marriage, but Huangfu Yongning did not have a little affection for Prince Le Qi Jinghuan, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, Huangfu Yongning has already protected Qi Jinghuan as his own person, and she is moved by Qi Jinghuan. The sudden realization hit Gongsun Yuanqing deeply, his face was covered with a layer of blue and gray, and he pursed his lips tightly, and Gongsun Yuanqing didn't say a word.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Huangfu Yongan pointed at the assassin and said, "How to deal with this person?" ”

Huangfu Yongning said very casually: "Go back and try again, and kill directly after the trial." When Gongsun Yuanqing heard this, his heart became more and more unconvinced, the emperor in his heart should not be like this. Huangfu Yongan nodded, for the assassin who came to assassinate him, Huangfu Yongning would not have the slightest mercy, since this person is a professional assassin killer, he thinks that his hands are not less stained with the blood of innocent people, such a person will be killed, and he is not worthy of sympathy.

"Brother, Yuan Qing, the two of you search the bodies of those people to see if there are any clues, and I will interrogate this assassin." Huangfu Yongning spoke, reaching out and picking up the assassin and walking aside. Gongsun Yuanqing looked at it for a while, only to see Huangfu Yongning slap the assassin a few times, and the assassin rolled desperately on the ground, looking extremely painful.

"Yuan Qing, come and search with me." Huangfu Yongan saw that Gongsun Yuanqing did not move, so he raised his voice and shouted. Gongsun Yuanqing had no choice but to answer, and walked quickly to Huangfu Yong'an's side, and searched the corpses of those assassins with him.

Unlike Huangfu Yong'an, Gongsun Yuanqing was in contact with a corpse for the first time, and it was inevitable that he was a little uncomfortable, and Huangfu Yongning didn't care about beauty at all when he killed people, as long as he killed people, so those assassins were either twisted out of a big hole by a sword, or they were cut off with only a thin layer of skin between their heads and necks, or they were split into two halves of uneven size by a sword. Looking at the terrifying tragic situation and smelling the pungent smell of blood, Gongsun Yuanqing only felt a surge in his chest, and suddenly turned his head and vomited.

Huangfu Yongan shook his head helplessly, put down the work that was examining the corpse, and walked to Gongsun Yuanqing's side to press the acupoint for him to stop vomiting. Huang Fuyong only turned his head to look at the vomiting sound when he heard it, and continued to interrogate the only remaining assassin. After many years in the army, Huangfu Yongning has seen a lot of the reactions of soldiers who have just entered the battlefield after seeing the dead corpses, and he has long been used to it.

"Yuan Qing, you go back to the tent to rest for a while, I'll come here." Huangfu Yongan frowned slightly and said. Gongsun Yuanqing shook his head and said in a firm whisper: "I'm fine, Ah Ren, let's continue to search." ”

Huangfu Yongan didn't insist, pointed to one of the corpses that looked slightly better and said, "Okay, you come and search for this." Gongsun Yuanqing nodded with disgust, got up and walked over to check the assassin's clothes and belongings. Huangfu Yongan saw that Gongsun Yuanqing did not vomit again, so he also continued his previous work.

In just two quarters of an hour, the two of them searched through all the bodies of the dead assassins, and they didn't have much more to gain than a few wooden plaques and a few silver tickets, and dozens of silver taels. Gongsun Yuanqing took the wooden card he searched out in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was just a palm-sized, very ordinary wooden plaque, with a skeleton painted in vermilion lacquer on the front and the number seventy-six written in vermilion lacquer on the back.

"A-Ning, has that person been recruited, our side has already finished searching." Huangfu Yongan shouted to Huangfu Yongning.

Huangfu Yongning turned his head and shouted: "It's almost over, he's about to move." ”

Huangfu Yongan sighed, tore off a large piece of cloth from an assassin, broke the searched things into small bags, and ran to Huangfu Yongning's side. Gongsun Yuanqing hurriedly followed.

"A-Ning, they all carry a wooden sign with a number on it, and there are no special clues for the others." Huangfu Yongan said quickly.

Huangfu Yongning snorted, flipped out a wooden card in his palm, and asked, "Same as this one?" ”

Huangfu Yongan glanced at it, nodded and said, "Yes, that's it, you are ninety-three." Gongsun Yuanqing hurriedly said: "It looks like a number, these people should belong to some kind of organization." ”

Huangfu Yongning frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at the assassin who was rolling on the ground in pain, and asked coldly, "Don't you recruit yet?" ”

The assassin was already in pain and had no strength to speak, so he could only nod in pain, Huangfu Yongning smiled faintly, and kicked the assassin a few times with his toes, and the man immediately collapsed to the ground, snorting and panting, and the clothes soaked in cold sweat on his body could already wring out a large basin of water.

"We are the outer disciples of Mingyue Building, we took the private work to assassinate Jiang Gongzi, I haven't seen the main family, it is the thread drawn by the flower butterfly, the main family has 50,000 taels of silver, the flower color butterfly took 20,000, we only got 10,000, after killing Jiang Gongzi, the main family paid 20,000 yuan, and the small one listened to the flower color butterfly dew a sentence, saying that the main family is a noble person in the capital. We have rules in this industry, and we must not inquire about the situation of the main family, so we really don't know who the main family is, why did he kill Jiang Gongzi, we don't know, Childe, the small one has recruited everything, please give the little one a good time! After the assassin recovered his strength, he kowtowed to Huangfu Yongning one by one, just hoping for a quick death, and did not want to live and suffer.

"What is Mingyue Tower? What are the butterflies? Huangfu Yongning frowned and asked.

Gongsun Yuanqing was also confused, he was a young man who was born in the capital and grew up in the capital, so he naturally didn't know about the things on the rivers and lakes. However, Huangfu Yongan heard his senior brother mention some things about the rivers and lakes in the past, and thought about it and explained it. "This Mingyue Tower is a killer organization in the rivers and lakes, as long as they are willing to pay, they dare to kill anyone. It is said that the killers of the Moon Tower are divided into five grades, which are gold, silver, copper, iron and wood, oh I know, these people are the lowest level of wooden brand killers. Huangfu Yongan shouted.

Huangfu Yongning looked at the assassin and asked coldly, "You are really the wooden card killer of Mingyue Tower?" The assassin nodded, "Yes, the villain is a wooden card killer." ”

"Mingyue Lou has an iron rule, as long as you take over the business, you will definitely achieve it at any cost, now that you can't assassinate me, do you want to send a higher-level assassin next until the assassination is successful?" Huangfu Yongan gradually remembered the memory of Mingyue Tower, and his voice became much colder.

The assassin quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, this time it was our private job, and the landlord didn't know about it." ”

Gongsun Yuanqing stood aside and was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked, "How do you know Brother Jiang's whereabouts?" ”

The assassin hesitated slightly, and Huangfu Yongning immediately slapped the assassin with a slap, and the assassin curled up in pain, bleeding from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. I said...... I said...... "The Assassin couldn't hold back the intense pain and wailed.

Huangfu Yongning snorted coldly and kicked the assassin twice, and the assassin breathed a sigh of relief. "When Jiang Gongzi went out of the city at Yongqing Gate, the little one once bumped into Gongzi, and at that time he sprinkled tracking powder on Gongzi's body, as long as Gongzi is still within a hundred miles, we can find the direction of Gongzi."

Huangfu Yongan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, his own doctor who was proficient in medicine, if he was sprinkled with medicinal powder, how could he not find out? And he hasn't changed his clothes in the past few days, how can he still be tracked?

"A-Ning, don't kill him yet, I want to hear what this tracking fan is all about." Huangfu Yongan said in a deep voice, and Huangfu Yongning nodded, giving up his seat for her brother to interrogate carefully.

It's just that the tracking powder is the biggest secret of Mingyue Building, and the medicinal powder is prepared and distributed to every killer by the landlord himself, and no one knows what the formula is except for the owner of Mingyue Mansion, so Huangfu Yongan can't have a clue.

Gongsun Yuanqing listened to the assassin's words, his mind kept spinning, and when Huangfu Yongan finished asking, he asked in a deep voice: "What method do you know to track down the fans?" ”

"The landlord has domesticated a lot of rats, and we just have to follow the rats to find our target. Three sons, the little one has said everything, please give the little one a good time! The Assassin squeezed the last words out of his teeth, and collapsed to the ground as if he were dead.

Huangfu Yongning slapped the assassin unconscious with one palm, and said to Gongsun Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, can you do me a favor?" ”

Gongsun Yuanqing immediately nodded and responded: "Okay, Yongning, you say, I'm fine." He didn't even ask Huangfu Yongning what he wanted him to do, so he agreed.

Huangfu Yongning pointed at the assassin and said, "You take this person back to the capital secretly and hand it over to my father, tell him what happened tonight, and ask him to deal with it." ”

Gongsun Yuanqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave immediately after dawn." ”

Huangfu Yongan looked at the assassin, frowned, and said, "Yuan Qing, throw this person into the stream and wash it well, so that he doesn't have any tracking powder on him." Gongsun Yuanqing answered, picked up the assassin and dragged him to the creek to wash it carefully. After washing, Gongsun Yuanqing was still not at ease, and ripped off the assassin's coat, shoes and hat, leaving him only a middle coat to barely cover his body.

When Huangfu Yongan saw that the assassin had finished washing, he said to Huangfu Yongning: "A-Ning, we and A-Hei also have to be cleaned, especially A-Hei should be washed more carefully, and after washing, the clothes, shoes and socks that he has been wearing in the past few days will be burned, so as not to leave trouble." ”

Huangfu Yongning had this intention, so he took the burden wrapped in clean clothes and took Ah Hei upstream to wash. Huangfu Yongan also found a proper place to clean carefully. However, in two quarters of an hour, the brother and sister and Ah Hei came back after washing, and Huangfu Yongning threw their changed clothes, shoes and socks into the bonfire and burned them to ashes, and his heart was much more steady.
