Chapter 262 Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle

Assassin's House.

At midnight, the back house was still brightly lit.

In one of the lavishly arranged courtyards, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras is faintly heard, the figure of the dancing girl is reflected on the window paper, outlining the graceful and graceful black shadow, and the maids serving tea and wine are swift and endless.

The Assassin's Mansion was heavily guarded, in addition to the ordinary guards, there were also a large number of elite cultivators patrolling, and the leader on duty at night was in the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm. If someone trespasses into the mansion, then once the movement comes out, there will be a powerhouse in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm in an instant.

Yang Jiani, who was dressed in a strong suit and simply covered her face with a cloth towel, stood on the eaves with a knife from Zhang Ermo, and looked coldly at the hall in front of her that was only separated by a courtyard in the cold wind. She appeared in the hinterland of the mansion in a grand manner, but there was no one around who was surrounded by cultivators who had been in the courtyard, as if this was not the Assassin's Mansion, but a vegetable market that could be entered and exited at will.

The first person who discovered her was not a master of the Yuan Shen Realm, but a maid who entered and exited the hall with a tray. When the other party looked up and saw her by chance, he didn't show any panic, and his footsteps never stopped, probably thinking that she was a guard in the mansion. After all, in such an important place as the backyard of the Assassin's Mansion, if outsiders broke in, it would have already turned upside down, and it was absolutely impossible for no one to find out, and there was no warning.

It wasn't until Yang Jiani jumped down from the cornice, dragged the Mo knife across the courtyard, and walked straight to the hall that the surrounding maids realized that something was wrong, the guards of the mansion didn't need to cover their faces, and it was impossible to drag a strange talisman soldier into the hall with cold eyes.

Lord Thorn Shi is drinking in there.

"Stop! Which one are you in charge of the nursing home, and who asked you to come here? Do you know the rules?" the big girl at the head frowned and scolded, scolding with one hand on her waist, and her tone was like driving away a guard dog, "Dare to take another step, watch your head!"

As the steward of the maid, she is also a cultivator of the Imperial Qi Realm, so she is full of confidence.

Yang Jiani naturally did not stop.

She walked over from where the big girl had just stood.

And the big girl has been slapped and flew out on the side, smashed on the roof of one side of the wing, smashed an unknown number of tiles, and got stuck between the beams of the house and didn't even have the strength to move.

The rest of the maids were all shocked, and the sharp and piercing screams finally rang out.

"Someone's coming!"

"There are assassins!"

"Murder!"

"Nursing home, nursing hospital, help!"

Their barking was extremely penetrating, and instantly caused a dog to bark in the back house.

But their cries stopped abruptly.

Anyone who is knocked unconscious to the ground can no longer scream.

Several elusive people in Tsing Yi had already passed behind them.

As they fell limply, Yang Jiani stepped into the threshold of the hall.

Ignoring the dancing and playing movements in the hall, Yang Jiani saw Jia Su who was still hugging left and right on the main seat just now, and had suddenly got up at this moment, it was a middle-aged man with a fat face and a big belly, not particularly fat, but when he looked down, he definitely couldn't see the body parts below the navel.

When an assassin entered the door, Jia Su's first reaction was not to run away or attack, but in shock and surprise, he pointed at Yang Jiani's nose and shouted angrily: "Where did the ignorant thief come from, he dared to trespass into the Assassin's Mansion! Do you know how big a crime this is, you have a few heads enough to cut off the official! Why don't you quickly put down the blade for the official and immediately kneel down to apologize?!"

It was probably because Yang Jiani's footsteps were steady, and he didn't do anything immediately after entering the door, giving him some kind of illusion, thinking that his life was not in danger for the time being, and he could wait for the guards to rush over, so he decided not to do anything that would damage the prestige of the official. Moreover, he was still a powerhouse in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm, and there was no need to take the Jianghu cultivators in his eyes at all.

Yang Jiani ignored Jia Su, but glanced at those dancers and musicians, "Get out." ”

Although she kills people on the battlefield, she doesn't want to hurt the innocent.

She is essentially a kind person.

Of course, her warning will only be once, if these people themselves don't know to value their lives, then she has no reason to be responsible for their lives and deaths.

This is the iron-blooded nature of her generals and battlefield generals.

Some dancers and musicians ran away in a panic, while others looked at Yang Jiani and then at Jia Su, and finally gritted their teeth and chose to stay here. They didn't receive Jia Su's orders, so they couldn't do anything just because an outsider said something, and staying here was to maintain Jia Su's authority and trust that Jia Su could control the situation.

The two beauties beside Jia Su covered their mouths and smiled, looking at Yang Jiani's eyes full of contempt and disdain, as if they were looking at a fool.

Yang Jiani didn't do it at the first time she entered the door, nor did she do it at the second time, Jia Su was very determined, which showed that the other party was not a simple assassin, and the cultivators of the rivers and lakes broke into the assassination mansion at night, either to assassinate him, or to come out of desperation to complain about grievances, asking or coercing him, the highest official in a state, to uphold justice in a certain matter.

Since the other party has a request for himself, then he can be invincible.

Jia Su instantly regained all his majesty, flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and reprimanded in a condescending tone: "This official will not say it a third time, immediately put down his sword and kneel! Breaking into the Shi Mansion at night to be rude to this official is already a big crime, no matter what grievances you have, it cannot be a reason for your wanton behavior! Now, immediately give this official a ......."

He didn't finish his official words.

His lofty expression also stiffened on his face.

His eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes were full of horror.

Yang Jiani had already made a move, just like when she appeared, without warning.

The dazzling sword qi reflected the hall in an instant, and it was a miserable white!

The singers and musicians around Yang Jiani were just affected by the spurting true qi, and they flew out one by one from the ground, breaking bones and spitting blood, and slamming on the wall one after another, making a loud bang.

All kinds of furnishings in the hall, tables, porcelain, dishes, wine jugs, and all kinds of food, all broke into countless fragments in an instant, turned into hurtful weapons and splashed around, and in the blink of an eye, a blood mist shot out on the singers and musicians!

The overflowing true qi is already so powerful, what kind of situation Jia Su is in who was cut down by the sword qi can be imagined, his horror and fear can only be experienced by himself, because he has clearly judged Yang Jiani's strength: "Late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm?!"

Extreme horror made him feel like he was falling into the abyss.

This is not a practitioner he can compete with.

Although he mobilized his True Qi to protect his body in time, he was still directly blasted through the defense by the sword qi and slashed heavily on his chest! The clicking sound of broken bones came out clearly, and Jia Su, whose facial features were distorted in pain, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the wooden platform under his feet suddenly shattered, and his body was slashed and fell, smashing a big pit on the ground, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

After the smoke and dust dissipated slightly, Yang Jiani dragged her knife to the collapsed platform, with a pair of clear eyes without too much emotion, coldly looking down at Jia Su who was lying in the dirt pit on all fours, and blood was constantly gushing out of her mouth.

Of course, Jia Su is not dead. It's just that it's badly hurt. Seeing that he was so soft that he couldn't even lift his hands, he didn't know how many bones in his body were intact.

It's not that Jia Su is strong enough, but Yang Jiani left her hand, and on the way here, the ruler dagger told her about Zhao Ning's arrangements for this operation.

As for the two scantily clad beauties beside Jia Su, their clothes are now in tatters on the edge of the pit, but they don't have to worry about spring, because they have become blood gourds that have been flattened by true qi, and there is no part of their body that can still be recognized, they have already died in Jiuquan, and when they are dying, they don't even have a chance to scream.

Jia Su looked at Yang Jiani's eyes, as if he had seen a ghost, full of fear from the bottom of his heart, and like he had seen a madman, full of unreasonable anger, he opened his mouth, gritted his teeth and said with difficulty:

"You...... You're done, beat and kill the assassin of a state, this is a rebellion, you will be exterminated by the Nine Clans! You'd better surrender quickly, if this official has a good one, no matter where you flee, the masters of the court will capture you back with a thousand knives!"

Yang Jiani squatted down in front of her, and when she saw that he was so hard, she didn't say a word, took out a dagger, stabbed it into his palm cleanly, and nailed his left hand into the dirt pit! Yang Jiani turned a blind eye, took out a second dagger, and nailed Jia Su's right hand into the ground!

Jia Su was so painful that his face was cold and sweaty, and he trembled all over, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Are you done making noise?"

Yang Jiani took out a stack of confessions and sprinkled them on the other party's face and chest, her voice did not fluctuate at all, "Then it's my turn." This is the evidence of your collusion with the Fang family over the years and the guilt of the party, and the confessors are all the stewards of the Fang family who participated in various incidents, so you have no room for denial.

"Look, what have you done over the years, what an 'undefeated court', you have received hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Fang family, and you have really sold the Assassin Mansion to the Fang family?

"You have created so many sins, and you dare to take advantage of the prestige of the imperial court officials in front of me, do you really think that the imperial court can tolerate you? You should be dismantled and exterminated, aren't you a dog official? Do you really think that you are the assassin of Yunzhou, and you can do anything wrong in Yunzhou, and the imperial court will not notice it at all? Jia Su, when your death time comes, do you still not know it?"

Jia Su's hands couldn't move, but his neck and eyeballs could still move, and he saw the sporadic content of the documents scattered in front of him, as Yang Jiani said, what he said was that he colluded with the Fang family to cause trouble, and the paintings of the Fang family's steward were also clearly visible, which made him panic to the extreme, and he couldn't get up anymore.

Looking at the masked Yang Jiani in a daze, he said bitterly: "You, why are you investigating these things, you, who are you, what are you going to do?"

At this moment, in his eyes, Yang Jiani is no longer an assassin in the rivers and lakes who asks for him, nor is he an unreasonable madman, but an extraordinary existence with a mysterious identity and a powerful force, just listening to the tone and content of the other party's questioning, it is definitely not what a Jianghu cultivator will have!

The true identity of the other party may be so high that there is no need to worry about his official position in the history of assassination, even if he kills him, he may not have to worry about the criticism of the court at all, and the existence of the other party standing behind him is very likely to be able to control his fate and life and death as he wants!

Only in this way can the other party's actions tonight, his words, deeds and attitudes at this time be explained.

Yang Jiani was stunned, and said lightly in a condescending tone: "We don't need to explain to you when we do things, and you are not qualified to know the answer." In your situation, only by unconditionally obeying our orders can you have the slightest chance of saving your life. ”

Jia Su opened his mouth and was speechless.

At this time, he had basically confirmed the speculation just now, but after all, he was a state assassin, and he would not be willing to be at the mercy of others so easily, swallowing his spit uneasily, he stubbornly said: "Xiaguan...... No, Criminal, can't you even know Your Excellency?"

Yang Jiani pondered slightly: "Have you ever heard of Flying Fish Guard?"
