After that, Gu Ming interrogated the other two fake guys separately, and finally confirmed that they really didn't know the true identity of their employers.

This is not surprising either.

There is a rather delicate relationship between the killer and the employer itself.

They often don't see each other, but connect with each other in a special way.

Including remuneration is also deposited through an intermediary or by the employer to the place designated by the killer.

After all, neither side will see the light of day.

But most of the famous killers in the rivers and lakes only hear their names and don't know their people.

After repeated interrogation, he really couldn't ask any clues, and Gu Ming could only give up.

Of course, it is impossible to spare the four poisonous girls, since the operation failed, they should be punished as they deserve.

Gu Ming is now an official of the imperial court, so naturally he doesn't want to do it himself, so he will leave it to the government.

As for the internal ...... The four guys didn't know who it was, so Gu Ming could only check it out by himself.

Soon after, Gu Ming returned to the inn.

I counted the people first, and there were a lot of guards, but they were still limp on the ground.

Pang Li's foundation was a little better, and he barely supported himself to sit at the table.

"Big ...... It's good that you're okay, my lord, yes, it's despicable...... Dereliction of duty......"

"It's okay, just a few clowns...... By the way, this is the antidote to the poisonous lady, and you can detoxify it by smelling it. ”

Gu Ming shook the bottle in his hand and walked to Pang Li's side and handed it over.

"Multi-...... Thank you very much......"

Pang Li stretched out his hand.

The next moment, the whole person's momentum suddenly changed, and a dagger glowing with blue glow and obviously quenched with poison appeared in his hand and stabbed at Gu Ming violently......

The two were close together, almost next to each other.

Breaking out at such a close distance, it can be said that the probability of success is extremely high, after all, it is a matter of the blink of an eye.

"Bang!"

"Bell~"

There was a thud in the inn, and a metallic sound.

Gu Ming didn't move, but Pang Li's body flew out upside down, smashing a small table in the store.

Such a scene made the other guards who were paralyzed on the ground couldn't help but be shocked, and their minds were in chaos.

"Poof~"

On the ground, Pang Li spurted out a mouthful of blood again, struggled to stand up, and looked coldly at Gu Ming, who was walking slowly.

"Captain Pang, don't you want to explain?"

"Losing is losing, what's the explanation?"

Pang Li's attitude is quite arrogant.

"Well, it seems that you are the key to this assassination plan, both internal and a hidden killer move.

In case those four guys fail, you can make up for it again......"

While speaking, Gu Ming subconsciously glanced at the dagger on the ground: "You really tried your best, the poison on this dagger is afraid that it is a strange poison, even if you don't stab you to death, you have to die of poisonous gas."

However, the official is very curious, you were ordered to escort the official, even if you get lucky in the end, you will not be able to escape the blame, and you will even be involved in your family...... Who gave you the confidence to dare to assassinate this official? ”

"No more nonsense!"

Pang Li is still very tough.

"It seems that you are really not afraid of death...... In fact, when you first arrived at the inn, the official was already suspicious of you.

Those two guys are indeed well disguised, but, with your foundation and eyesight, you won't be able to see a clue?

Entering the inn, you behaved very deliberately, sparing no effort to show your loyalty, repeatedly reminding the official that this is a black shop......

After that, the poisonous lady pretended to do it, and you stopped it in time......

All of this is nothing more than to let the official eliminate suspicion of you, so that you can continue to lurk in the future or stab you from behind when the official is unprepared......"

"Master Gu, don't waste your scheming, don't try to impress me or scare Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can afford to lose!"

"That official wants to see how tough you are!"

Gu Ming's figure flashed, he grabbed Pang Li's neck, and said coldly: "Say, who sent you?" ”

"No one sent Lao Tzu ......"

When he said this, black blood suddenly gushed out of Pang Li's mouth.

Seeing this, Gu Ming was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to seal this guy's qi and blood, so as not to attack his heart with poisonous gas.

But, it didn't work at all.

This guy didn't know what kind of poison he was in, and his whole body began to festering at a speed that was visible to the naked eye......

It didn't take long for it to turn into a puddle of foul-smelling liquid.

Gu Ming stepped aside, his brows furrowed.

It seems that the mastermind behind this scene is not simple, and there is such a strange and vicious method.

It seems that this Pang Li knows a little bit of the inside story, but unfortunately there are no bones.

Three of the four poisonous girls survived, but they didn't know the inside story, they only knew how to kill people with money.

After thinking for a while, Gu Ming lazily thought about it, took out the antidote and walked to the other guards.

What he gave Pang Li before was not actually an antidote, just an empty bottle.

If you want to say that the remaining five guards can't be fully trusted, but the chance of doing an internal response is extremely small, after all, these guards are not masters, and such a secret thing, naturally, the less people know about it, the better.

Smelling the antidote, the five guards recovered their spirits, and one by one they knelt on the ground in fright and kowtowed to Gu Ming: "My lord, spare my life, I really don't know that Captain Pang dares to assassinate my lord!" ”

"We really don't know about this matter, and we hope that your Excellency will find out."

"Alright, get up...... You separate up and search the inn to see if there are any corpses or anything like that. ”

"Yes, sir!"

After searching for a while, sure enough, five corpses were found in the hay pile in the verandah of the inn.

Among them, four men and one woman, presumably the innkeeper and the old lady, as well as the men and the guests staying in the hotel.

……

"Knock knock!"

As soon as the sky was bright, the drum at the entrance of the county government was beaten.

The dull sound of drums reached the inner courtyard, waking up the sweet Lei County Order, who was still asleep.

"It's really annoying, who came to sue early in the morning?"

The woman lying on the side grunted dissatisfiedly and pulled the quilt over her head.

"Hmph, this official wants to see which Diao Min is so bold!"

Lei Xianling turned over and got out of bed in a rage.

"My lord, my lord, there is a drum outside......"

"I know, you go to the hall first, and I will come to the ...... later."

Not long after, Lei Xian Ling calmed down and walked to the hall with the sleepy-eyed master.

In the public court, several officials yawned, obviously not sleeping enough.

"Smack, who is beating the drum, bring this official to the hall!"

Two of the officials gloated and looked out of the court.

Everyone can see that the county magistrate is full of displeasure, and he doesn't know who is so unlucky, and he is afraid that a killing stick will be inevitable.

With the cheers, Gu Ming walked into the public hall with square steps......

"Huh?"

The officials were a little dumbfounded.

Is this a lifting man?

No, it's not like a man's clothes, is it possible...... Is it Master Jinshi?

Who just wanted to kill the mighty stick?

Sitting in the hall, Lei County's angered face was shocked, he hurriedly stood up, and arched his hand at Gu Ming: "This official is the county commander of this county, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

Gu Ming took a few steps forward, took off the waist card on his waist and raised it.

The master took a closer look, and his legs couldn't help but weaken......

"I don't know if Lord Gu has arrived, the villain is far away!"

At the same time, Lei Xian Ling also stared at it, and hurriedly ran down, bowing in a cold sweat: "Xiaguan Lei Laifu, see Master Bachelor." ”

"Excuse me!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The officials on both sides of the sub-station finally came to their senses and hurriedly bowed one by one.

"Your Excellency...... I don't know ...... adults Why drumming? ”

Lei Xian Ling asked cautiously in his heart.

"Last night, this official was assassinated......"

"Plop!"

Lei Xian Ling didn't stand firm for a while, and actually fell to the ground.

How could he not be afraid?

The dignified new champion, the five-grade waiter of the emperor's book, was assassinated in his jurisdiction, can he get out of it?

If something really happens, the imperial court will inevitably take him to the capital for questioning.

"Adult ......"

Several officials hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Lord Bachelor, Xiaguan...... The lower officials are guilty......"

Lei Laifu wiped his cold sweat and secretly congratulated himself that the bachelor could still stand, otherwise this matter would have made a big fuss.

"Okay, don't talk about these superficial words, and quickly gather people to go to the scene with this official!"

"Yes, master, hurry up and call Zhang to catch the head!"

"Yes, sir!"

Not long after, Lei Laifu personally led the team and led more than 20 people out of the city.

At noon, I finally arrived at the inn.

"These four are murderers who commit assassination, and there is another ...... I don't know what kind of poison I was in, and I turned into corpse water......"

Gu Ming explained first, and then the five guards also talked about what they saw and heard last night.

The accompanying master made a detailed record, and after writing it down, he respectfully handed it over to Gu Ming for inspection.

"Well, that's right. Lei County Order, this case is very important, and you will be temporarily detained. This official will send a message to the court and escort the prisoner to the capital for interrogation! ”

"Yes, my lord, please rest assured, the lower officials will be strictly guarded, and there will never be a trace of mistakes."

"In addition, several victims in the inn must be identified one by one, and their relatives must be properly compensated with some silver."

"Yes yes yes ......"

Lei Xianling kept nodding, how dare he say half a word?

The officials searched the inn again carefully, and questioned the people one by one in the bazaar, doing their best to gather all suspicious clues.

"Okay, Lord Lei, this official is about to leave."

As soon as he heard this, Lei County Commander hurriedly said: "My lord, it is better to rest in the city for one night, so that the lower officials can enjoy the friendship of the place." ”

"No need."

"Then the lower official will send more people to escort the adults, so as not to have any more accidents."

He was afraid that Gu Ming would happen to him again, and then he would really not be able to explain.

This Gu Ming didn't refuse, because he could guess Lei County's mood, and he was too lazy to explain more.

As a result, Lei County Ling assigned eight more catchers to escort them, and they escorted them to the junction of the two counties before saying goodbye and returning.

……

On the same day, Feng Yongxing arrived to urgently pass the book, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the content.

The matter was too important, and he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he hurried to the palace immediately.

Under normal circumstances, there is no special urgency, and a group of important ministers will not easily enter the palace to see the emperor.

Of course, the emperor is not easy to meet, and he has to go through several checkpoints.

"Your Majesty, Lord Feng said that he had something important to ask to see the emperor."

The imperial eunuch walked into the imperial study to report.

"What's the matter?"

The emperor asked nonchalantly.

"It was said that the champion of the new department was assassinated halfway......"

"What?"

The emperor raised his head suddenly, looking incredulous, and then hurriedly said: "Hurry, announce quickly!" ”

"Yes!"

The imperial eunuch answered, and retreated to the door before hurriedly announcing it.

"Weichen see the emperor."

After a while, Feng Yongxing walked into the imperial study and saluted respectfully to the emperor.

"Feng Aiqing, something to do."

"Your Majesty, the new acolyte Gu Ming was assassinated on the way, this is a biography written by Lord Gu himself......"

"Bring it on!"

"Yes!"

Feng Yongxing stepped forward to present the paperwork.

The emperor read the documents with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but shoot the case: "What a bold man, so blatantly appointing a killer to assassinate the court officials, or the champion of the new department!"

Come! ”

"In!"

"Spread my will, order the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate this case, I want to see who is so bold to find out the culprit, I will definitely punish him for the nine clans!"

The Son of Heaven was angry, and the blood flowed like a river!

"In addition, I will pass on my will again, and order the government along the way to pay close attention to Gu Aiqing's itinerary, and send additional people to escort it, and if there is any more chaos on anyone's territory, I will take off someone's black yarn hat!"

"Honor!"

The imperial eunuch left in response.

That night, this holy decree was conveyed to the post stations and official offices along the way as quickly as possible by means of 800 miles of urgent documents, flying pigeons, etc., making a lot of officials of all sizes chaotic......
