It was evident that there was a fierce-looking man with a forked knife in one hand, glaring angrily and blankly at the door. If you look at his face alone, no one will inevitably be shocked by the ferocity of this man at first glance, and then when you look at him again, you will almost immediately feel that it is ridiculous.

And after that, it must have been full of anger.

Because the man was disheveled, of course, that's not the point. The point is, right in front of him, under his crotch, a young woman was curled up there with a painful face.

Judging from her dress, it is obvious that she is still a girl who has not left the cabinet.

Of course, Yao Jiqing didn't know the girl curled up in pain. But it does not prevent other yacha from getting to know each other, after all, people who often mingle in the capital have more or less the opportunity to meet the girls of the powerful families.

The moment Yao Jiqing stood at the door in amazement, a yacha also took the opportunity to glance in, and after just one glance, he immediately whispered in surprise, "My lord, isn't that Miss Yang Youru, the daughter of Yang Shilang's family?"

Yao Jiqing's heart sank, his eyes swept over the girl's tattered clothes, and then he frowned and looked at the yacha, "You know Yang Shilang's daughter."

The yacha saw that his expression was cold and awe-inspiring, his neck shrunk, and his eyes were still wide open to the curled girl. Then he nodded hurriedly, and assured conclusively, "My lord, I have seen her a few times, and I will never recognize the wrong person." ”

The implication is that the girl in front of her who has almost been or has been abused by the murderer is indeed Yang Youru.

Yao Jiqing had a calm face, glanced at the girl who was trembling with obvious fear with tears on her face, and muttered for a while before saying, "In this case, bring everyone back to the yamen first." ”

As for the assassin with a fierce and cold face, Yao Jiqing looked at it very carefully.

Of course, a group of yacha armed with knives at the assassin, no matter how powerful the assassin was, he would not dare to act rashly, and after subduing the assassin in this house in one fell swoop, Yao Jiqing did not delay in this house for long.

Soon, they escorted the few remaining Assassins with varying degrees of severity of injuries back to the yamen, along with the various weapons and other related items found in the house.

When he returned to the Yamen, in order to close the case as soon as possible so that he could give an explanation to His Royal Highness, Yao Jiqing simply interrogated these assassins overnight.

It's a pity that although there are many torture instruments in the yamen, they have no effect on these outlaws.

Even if he was beaten to the ground, no one said anything, let alone honestly confessed to the person behind the purchase.

When these assassins were tortured one by one and had almost one breath left, Yao Jiqing had to ask the Yacha to stop for a while.

Just when he was very angry and at a loss, a yacha couldn't hide his excitement, and walked towards Yao Jiqing's office room with a tray holding an item.

Yao Jiqing caught a glimpse of the Yacha's cautious attitude from the room, and almost thought that he was holding some peerless treasure in his tray.

"My lord," said the yacha excitedly after knocking on the door, "there is an unexpected gain." ”

Yao Jiqing squinted his eyes and leaned over, and asked in a deep voice, "What kind of windfall" After speaking, he glanced at the tray, and raised his finger to point, "It's just this thing in front of you is a piece of broken paper."

The Ya took three steps and two steps, and quickly put the tray on the long table in front of him, "Your Excellency, please see, this is not an ordinary piece of broken paper. ”

Yao Jiqing looked at him solemnly, and his curiosity was also aroused. However, he glanced at Yacha, still disapproving, and slowly lowered his head to look at the tray.

Picked up the bloodstained and torn piece of paper, and looked at the nearby lamp casually.

"Pay off the debt with your body, and after the deed is completed, the money and goods will be lost"

After reading the above content quickly, Yao Jiqing's face turned blue and yellow and green and became very good-looking, and he quickly read it again in disbelief, and then stared at the fingerprints and inscriptions in the lower right corner with unacceptable eyes.

After repeated confirmation, Yao Jiqing had to accept this shocking fact.

It's no wonder that after the assassination of the Liwang, Yang Youru suddenly disappeared.

It turned out that he went to pay his debts

But after looking at it, Yao Jiqing still felt that this matter was too unbelievable, so he ordered someone to invite the master to his house immediately.

After a while, the white-faced master came to him.

Yao Jiqing didn't talk nonsense, and directly picked up the shocking paper and handed it to him, "You can take a look at this first." ”

The master read very quickly, and he finished reading the content in almost a moment.

"Your Excellency suspects that this document has been forged"

The master has been working under him for more than ten years, so he naturally understands Yao Jiqing's concerns at the moment, and as soon as he speaks, he points straight to the center.

Yao Jiqing smiled bitterly, "Shouldn't I be suspicious?"

A girl who has not come out of the cabinet, no matter how absurd and bold she is, will not dare to do such a shocking and vulgar thing.

The master thought silently for a long time before he said slowly, "My lord, I think this is not impossible. ”

Yao Jiqing raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "What do you say?"

"Let's get rid of the mystery in front of you, my lord, you might as well think about the truth about the assassination of the king."

Yao Jiqing frowned and thought for a while, and then showed a little understanding, "You mean, Yang Youru boldly planned the assassination a few days ago in order to take revenge on Mu Xiaofeng."

The master smiled, "Presumably the adults also know that the Li family and the Mu family have been secretly fighting for a long time, if Yang Youru, under the guidance of someone with a heart, thinks that it was the eldest lady of the Mu family who harmed the second son of Li, then Yang Youru has every motive and wants to get rid of Mu Xiaofeng." ”

"I have already asked people to verify that Yang Youru had a conflict with Mu Xiaofeng in the Big Buddha Temple."

"There are probably no people in the capital who don't know that His Royal Highness is in love with the eldest lady of the Mu family," the master paused again, and a faint glint flashed in his eyes before he said, "This can also better explain His Royal Highness Liwang's real intention of letting people come to report the case and arrest the assassin but not want to make a noise." ”

Yao Jiqing still felt that this matter was full of suspicions, "Even if what you said is true, Yang Youru only has this motive, how can she recruit so many powerful killers in a short period of time, and there are many archers among these killers"

The master thought about it, but he didn't feel that it was unacceptable to be so surprised by him, "Probably someone wants to use Yang Youru's hand to get rid of Mu Xiaofeng or His Royal Highness the King, and naturally they will lead these extremely lethal killers to Yang Youru without a trace." ”

Yao Jiqing frowned and thought for a while, but gradually became a little inclined to believe that this was the truth of the matter.
