But soon another question came to Qiushuiman's mind.

"If this person isn't Mo Ling, then who sent it? Apparently his mission is to get the jade pendant from me. Qiu Shui twisted his eyebrows and thought deeply.

"Could it be the county lord of Qiyang?" Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, and the first person that came to mind was the county lord of Qiyang.

"But if it's really the county lord of Qiyang, why did she choose to do it in her own county lord's mansion? Wouldn't that make it easy to arouse suspicion? Qiu Shuiman found that this matter was simply suspicious, and he couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Jue twisted his eyebrows when he heard this: "Don't jump to conclusions about this matter first, we still have to notify the county lord as soon as possible to see what her reaction is." ”

Qiushui pursed her lips and nodded, Xiao Jue's method is not a good way, so that she can test the county lord of Qiyang, if she did it, then she will have the next action if the task fails.

In the early hours of the morning, the Qiyang County Lord's Mansion was brightly lit, and in the lobby, the Qiyang County Lord sat on the upper seat facing the door, looking at the man in black kneeling on the ground with complicated eyes, and the men in black were standing on both sides of Xiao Jue and Qiu Shuiman.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen in my Qiyang County Lord's Mansion, the envoy wasn't frightened, right?" The county lord of Qiyang's eyes flickered, stood up and asked about the situation with a soft face.

Qiushui's heart sank, this woman wished she died under the assassin's knife, right?

Even if he thought so in his heart, Qiu Shuiman's face was still calm and said: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." ”

The county lord of Qiyang turned around, and Qiu Shuiman couldn't see her expression clearly.

"That's good, otherwise, how can I take care of the county lord of Qiyang?" There are words in the main words of Qiyang County, and his speech is sour.

"This kind of thing happened in the county lord's mansion, I don't know what the county lord plans to do?" Qiu Shui raised his eyebrows, and his words revealed a different kind of deep meaning.

"Miss Qiu, don't worry, such an assassin should be killed, otherwise it will be a disaster to stay in the world!" The county lord of Qiyang twisted his eyebrows and ordered Wanrong beside him to bring a knife, but he was stopped by Qiu Shuiman.

"Don't be impatient, the county lord won't think this assassin is just an ordinary assassin, right?"

The county lord of Qiyang smiled lightly, turned to look at Qiushui and said, "Do assassins still have to be ranked?" What is an ordinary assassin and how is it not an ordinary assassin? ”

The county lord of Qiyang is secretly changing the concept, and he really has a ghost in his heart, otherwise, no matter who he is, he understands that such an assassin must not be killed easily, but must ask the mastermind behind the scenes from the mouth of the assassin.

"If it were an ordinary assassin, would you come to see me in the form of the emperor's secret guard? He could have rushed straight into the room and killed me, without going to great lengths to disguise me, and tried to get the jade pendant from me. ”

Qiu Shuiman's cold eyes swept away, and his gaze fell on the man in black.

"Maybe he's just a thief, and he wants to get the jade pendant on your body." The county lord of Qiyang stood with his hands behind his back, and there was a touch of disdain in his tone.

"I don't know if the county lord is deliberately protecting or if he has other intentions......"

As soon as Qiushuiman's voice fell, the county lord of Qiyang turned around immediately, stared at him with round eyes and asked, "What does the envoy mean by this?" You mean to say that this assassin is someone I sent from? If I really want to do something to you, why should I wait until now that you have been in my house for so long? ”

"Don't get excited, why did I say that the county lord was not good for me?"

Qiu Shui hooked his lips and smiled, a touch of gloom flashed in his expression, and the county lord of Qiyang knew that he was out of shape, and he gradually restrained his emotions.

Xiao Jue stood aside and was silent, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"It's useless to say more, the main thing now is to ask the mastermind behind the scenes." Xiao Jue said in a deep voice, and the atmosphere in the lobby was deadly.

The county lord of Qiyang suddenly waved his hand and said: "Come on, put this person in the dungeon for me now, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be asked for strict interrogation!" ”

"Yes!" Two of his men stepped forward, pulled the man in black up from the ground, and dragged him out of the door.

The man in black looked at Wanrong standing beside the county lord of Qiyang with a gloomy gaze, and stared closely until he couldn't see it.

This matter has come to an end for the time being, in the bedroom of the county lord of Qiyang, Wanrong is kneeling on the ground crying, her face is already full of bright red palm prints, these are the main blows of Qiyang County just now, Wanrong's face has been swollen.

"County lord, it's the slave who is not doing well, begging the county lord to spare his life......" Wanrong cried while kowtowing to the county lord of Qiyang.

The county lord of Qiyang was already gritting his teeth with hatred at this moment, glaring at Wanrong angrily and said: "You waste, you can't do anything well, I asked you to invite a master to cheat the jade pendant in the hands of the slut in Qiushuiman, you are good, you actually found me a fool like you!" ”

Wanrong knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, the county lord of Qiyang kicked over, and Wanrong spat blood in her mouth immediately.

"The county lord spares ......," Wanrong said hesitantly, already slightly weak.

"Spare your life? Is there any value in living such a waste as yours? Do you know that because of your bad work, I am even more suspicious! ”

The county lord of Qiyang stared at the round eyes, a trace of gloomy murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and he was immediately so frightened that Wanrong stepped forward and hugged the feet of the county lord of Qiyang.

"County Lord, give me another chance, I will definitely help the County Lord save the situation."

The county lord of Qiyang asked with a gloomy face: "The matter has come to this, what else can we do?" ”

Wanrong pondered for a moment, as if she had suddenly thought of a good idea, and said excitedly: "County Lord, County Lord, I have thought of a good way." ”

The county lord of Qiyang twisted his eyebrows, sighed deeply and said, "That's it, I'll give you one last chance, you can talk about it." ”

Wanrong learned that she still had hope, her eyes flashed with joy, and she said viciously: "Since the person has been put in the dungeon by us now, why don't we just kill it, so that when Qiu Shui Man asks, we will say that the person is too seriously injured and can't withstand the torture and has died in the dungeon." ”

Hearing this, the county lord of Qiyang thought for a moment and said, "It seems that this is the only way to do it." ”

In the dark and damp dungeon, the man in black was tied to a shelf, looking desperate and dejected.

At this moment, the door of the dungeon was suddenly opened from the outside, and from the back of the closed door was a woman with a food box in her hand.

"Are you hungry and locked up for so long?" It turned out to be Wanrong, and it was the man hired by Wanrong to assassinate Qiushuiman.

The man in black seemed to see hope, and immediately looked at Wanrong with gratitude in his eyes and said, "Thank you, girl, did the county lord say what I should do?" ”

Wanrong smiled, untied the rope from the man in black, and lowered the man in black from the shelf.

While opening the food box and bringing out the food, he said with a smile: "The county lord said, as long as you don't admit it, there is really no way to let you out in the end, but you may have to suffer a little bit of flesh and skin." ”

The man in black was overjoyed when he heard this, and he gulped down the food brought by Wanrong, and thanked Wanrong and said, "Then please ask the girl to thank the county lord for not killing me." The man in black found that something was wrong as he ate, and he twisted his eyebrows as if he was feeling a little uncomfortable.

"You, you poisoned my food,......" the man in black suddenly pointed to Wanrong's undisguised face and scolded.

Wanrong looked at the man in black struggling in pain and smiled indifferently: "It's not that I'm ruthless, it's that you're too stupid, the matter has already been messed up, if I had you, you would have cut yourself off right now, so as not to trouble others to do it." Since you don't know how to live or die, then I'll just solve it for you. ”

"You woman, this is a vicious ......" The man in black suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole face was distorted.

"Idiot, I can't do this little thing, just because you are not doing well, even I almost died!" When Wanrong said this, she was still resentful and stepped forward and kicked the man in black's feet, and when she heard the man's painful moans, Wanrong watched him die with a satisfied face.

"If you poison me, you'll only make them suspect you ......," the man in black threatened Wanrong with his last breath.

"You can die with peace of mind, the poison I gave you will disappear without a trace as long as it enters the human body, and the corpse will not show signs of poisoning at all, even if they are tired to death, they can't think that you were poisoned."

After Wanrong said this, the man in black had already swallowed his breath.

Carrying the food box and walking out of the dungeon, Wanrong's face was full of smug smiles, and things were done extremely neatly this time.

When the county lord of Qiyang learned that the man in black was dead, a sneer curled up on the corner of his lips.

"Now there is no proof of death, look at what else she can say."

Wanrong can also be regarded as a meritorious service, and said with joy on her face: "What the county lord said is that this autumn water man has nothing to say and nowhere to check. ”

At this time, Qiu Shuiman also heard the news that the man in black in the dungeon had died, and was hurriedly coming to the Qiyang County Lord to theorize.

The county lord of Qiyang heard footsteps from afar, and his eyes tightened at the moment, "She's here." ”

Hearing this, Wanrong lowered her eyes and retreated behind the county lord of Qiyang, not daring to say any more.

Qiu Shui walked into the dormitory of the county lord of Qiyang with a gloomy face, and asked the county lord of Qiyang: "Do you know that the man in black is the person who is now considered to be a witness, and he was inexplicably killed in the dungeon by your people, how can the county lord explain this matter?" ”

Qiu Shuiman didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with the county lord of Qiyang, and the death of the man in black would definitely not be an accident.

The county lord of Qiyang's eyes sank, and said unhurriedly: "What does Miss Qiu mean by this?" You mean I deliberately killed him? ”

Qiu Shuiman is almost sure that the man in black was deliberately killed by the county lord of Qiyang, but what bothers him is that there is no proof of death now, even if Qiu Shuiman wants to hunt down and kill, he has no way to start, this county lord of Qiyang is really vicious.
