Chapter 474: The Killer Strikes
Her words of disregard for life and death made everyone feel bad, the emperor thought for a moment, and then bowed his head and said, "Your filial piety has impressed me, I didn't expect that there would be such a heroic woman in the capital, then okay, I will allow it." As he spoke, he summoned Mu Chenyu, who had an ugly face on the side, and immediately issued an edict.
"Mochen, from today onwards, the eldest lady here, Shangguan Juan, will investigate this case with you." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel smile, "If you fail to arrest Lin Mujue after half a month, you will kill her on the spot, and then you can come to see me." ”
Mu Chenyu's brows jumped when he heard this, and he raised his head and wanted to beg him to take back his fate, but where did the emperor give him the opportunity, he waved his hand and said, "You guys stand down, I still have important matters to discuss with the ministers, and there is no need to say anything else." After speaking, he asked his father-in-law beside him to send the two away.
Finally leaving the palace, Mu Chenyu couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed Shangguan Juan's wrist, gritted his teeth, seemed to be holding back great anger, and said word by word, "Why are you so reckless, if you really didn't catch Lin Mujue after half a month, do you think Your Majesty will let you go?" ”
Shangguan Juan chuckled lightly when he heard this, and his eyebrows were full of mockery, "If Grand Prince Zhao is more dedicated, I naturally don't have to worry about my life." With that, he shook his hand away and walked in the direction of here without looking back.
Mu Chenyu couldn't wait to arrest her and lock her up, but at this time, it was useless for him to reprimand her, and it was the most important thing to arrest Lin Mujue back at the moment.
After the two broke up unhappily, Shangguan Juan was angry, so he returned here, and slowly calmed down when he got home, but today's matter was too impulsive, and Mu Chenyu was in an embarrassing situation between this approach.
She sat in the room and was annoyed by today's impulse, and now she returned here in a fit of rage, if the killer attacked tonight, she would die on the spot in less than half a month, thinking of this, she didn't have time to regret what she had done today, so she hurriedly went to find a ball of fishing line, and set traps at all the doors and windows of her house.
After everything was settled, she felt very tired, and had not had a good rest in the last few days, so she went to bed and fell asleep on the side of her pillow.
But she was not at ease in her heart, and she didn't sleep too hard, half-asleep and half-awake, as if she heard a cold snort, she was shocked in her heart, and immediately woke up, and hurriedly picked up the wooden stick that was placed on the pillow before and held it in her arms, and carefully got up and squatted on the edge of the bed.
By the moonlight, she squinted and saw the scene by the window, and sure enough, a person in a night suit, who was entangled between the fishing lines at this time, should not have expected to encounter such a situation, and it took a long time to get out of it, Shangguan Juan held his breath, watched the person approach the bed little by little, his heart was very flustered, and his hand tightly pinched the wooden stick in his hand.
The man finally approached, and when he saw that there was no one on the bed, he turned his head around to look for it, Shangguan Juan saw this and knew that he couldn't wait, so he got up and hit him on the head hard, this stick went down, she thought that no matter how she could knock people out, but although the blood flowed down his forehead, but the person was still standing upright, I saw that the person shook his head, cursed in a low voice, and walked straight towards her.
Shangguan Wan secretly said that it was not good, turned around and ran, shouting for help loudly while running, she obviously asked Uncle Zhang to let a few people stay in front of the door today, but no one responded at this time, no matter how she was, she couldn't outrun a killer, so she didn't run half of the room before she was caught by that person. 101 Chinese Net
He strangled Shangguan Juan's neck from behind, dragging her back, with ruthlessness in her movements, she raised a hand and broke that hand, but it was useless, the suffocation engulfed her little by little, and her eyes were already covered with tears.
With a muffled snort, the shackles around her neck were finally loosened, and the man fell to the ground in response, Shangguan Juan suddenly sat on the ground, wearing a big mouthful, and before she could relax, she heard a strange male voice at the door, "What's wrong?" Is there something unexpected? ”
There was still a person outside the door, despair surrounded Shangguan Juan, she covered her mouth and didn't dare to make a sound, the person asked for a long time and saw that no one answered, so he pushed the door open directly, he saw his companion who fell to the ground at a glance, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he snorted coldly, "If you have some ability, then it is impossible for me to let you go today." ”
As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his waist and walked straight towards her, Shangguan Wan's hands and feet were cold, and he crawled behind him tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't you come here......
The man was unmoved, the dagger reflected a dazzling light under the moonlight, and seeing that it was about to come to his eyes, Shangguan Wan closed his eyes in despair.
The imaginary stinging pain did not come, but he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Shangguan Juan opened his eyes little by little, and saw that the person just now had fallen to the ground unconscious, and the one standing in front of him at this time turned out to be Jiusheng!
Jiusheng handled the two black-clothed men neatly, lit the candle in the room, looked at Shangguan Juan, who was still afraid, and said apologetically, "As soon as you left today, Gongzi ordered me to come and protect me, I had been guarding outside the courtyard gate, but I didn't expect that there were five killers tonight, they had already stunned the people in the house, I and the rest of the people were outside, and then I got out and came to the rescue, Miss Shangguan, I'm really sorry, I frightened you." ”
It took Shangguan Juan a long time to react, he had been saved, and when he heard Jiusheng's words, his heart was even more moved, and he began to regret today's impulse.
After Jiusheng arranged everything, he wanted to go to the courtyard to continue guarding, Shangguan Juan directly arranged him to the next room, Jiusheng did not postpone it, and thanked him, "Thank you Miss Shangguan, you can call me directly if you have something." ”
After this night of wandering on the edge of life and death, Shangguan Juan couldn't sleep, and finally stayed up until dawn, she was a little relieved, and her sleepiness came up a little bit, she was about to go to the couch to take a nap, but the porter was knocked, and she thought it was Jiusheng, she quickly got up and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, it was Mu Chenyu, there were still a few dewdrops in his hair, it looked like he had come early in the morning, and the grievances that Shangguan Juan had been holding back all night inexplicably climbed up at this time, and his eyes were gradually blurred by tears.
Seeing her like this, Mu Chenyu's heart softened, and she took her into her arms to comfort her, Shangguan Juan cried for a while, and then pushed him away a little unwillingly, and found that there was a person behind him, and he was immediately embarrassed, and asked in a thick nasal voice, "This is?" ”
