In the cell, the scout was thrown into a two-square-meter cell, his hands and feet were shackled, and in the gloomy damp cell, there was only a fist-sized vent that let in the moonlight.

"Get up...... "The jailer knocked on the fence with a stick of fire in his hand, and said impatiently, "hurry up, hurry up." ”

The scout got up, looked at the jailer's key, opened the door, followed the two jailers, and slammed into the stone wall around the corner.

"Damn, dare to die?" The jailer reached out and pulled the scout back, two sticks to his legs, and he squeaked in pain.

The two jailers dragged the scout, who could not stand, through the lobby and into an interrogation room, where they were trapped on wooden benches, opposite a table and two chairs, and on the side there was also a table with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Lu Qinghou and Jiang Ning did not communicate again, the two sat down, the knife and pen officials unfolded the rice paper, ready to record, and the two officials were lined up on the left and right.

Lu Qinghou secretly claimed to be surprised, looking at Jiang Ning's aura, but he didn't mean to be afraid at all, the average scholar came here, and he was very disgusted by this cold and damp atmosphere, and they all said that literati were arrogant, but he never thought so, because of what he saw along the way, some of them were scared twice, and they were all recruited, and some of them were hard-mouthed, and once they were tortured, they would not admit their six relatives, and there would even be unexpected results.

Jiang Ning's body was covered with bloodstains, and he didn't care about Lu Qinghou's eyes at all: "What do you see, Lao Tzu has been watching criminal investigation dramas since the first grade of elementary school, and the situation can be deduced without asking, and now you are still in the mood to interrogate here, it is really naïve and funny." ”

Jiang Ning mocked Lu Qinghou in his heart, but he didn't speak.

"Jiang Gongzi, if you want to ask something, ask." Lu Qinghou said with a slight mockery, a scholar, although he knows martial arts, what can he ask? The fact in front of him is the scout of the military department, who can walk to Jinling and complete the task in a hidden way, which is enough to show that their strength is the best among the scouts, and they are still preparing to commit suicide.

Jiang Ning said expressionlessly: "Then accept it." ”

The scout in front of him, unkempt, with blood on his mouth and body, it was obvious that he had just gone through a battle, his eyes were full of the light of a victor, leaning back in his chair, it was obvious that they had succeeded and completed their mission for the tall man.

"In Xia Jiangning, Jiang Zichuan, the people in the rivers and lakes are known as the best in their sleeves, if my guess is right, Your Excellency is a scout sent by the Ministry of War." Jiang Ning got up, walked slowly to the table, wrapped his arms around him, and leaned against the table.

"I know you don't want to say anything, in fact, I don't need you to say it, I'll tell you what I know first." Jiang Ning said: "Do you know who you killed? ”

The corner of the man's mouth flickered, glanced at Jiang Ning, and did not speak.

"Maybe you don't know it yourself, no, the people you came don't know who you killed, the one you killed was Princess Changping of the Great Xia Dynasty, her name is ...... Lu Yutong ......"

The scout was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Hehe......"

"You still don't believe this miscellaneous?" Jiang Ning frowned slightly, indeed, if he was replaced by a scout, he didn't believe it, how could he kill the princess on a mission?

Lu Qinghou didn't say a word, and slowly closed his eyes, for this interrogation, he originally had little hope.

"Changping Princess Lu Yutong, arrived in Jinling after the end of this year, on the fifth day of the second month, was imprisoned in the Sword Villa, February 25, escaped from the Sword Villa, traveled to the North City, Dongcheng, on the eighth day of the third month to the blacksmith shop, rented a house to live temporarily, today is March 22, you chose a good day, assassinated her, you did not hide your identity after the killing, I think you were arrested after seeing the arrow, in fact, you don't say that you are a scout of the military department, I also know."

The scout showed a suspicious look, and he had to admit that Jiang Ning's words really surprised him.

Jiang Ning continued: "There are only three possibilities for so many people to sneak into Jinling City silently, the first is the people from the rivers and lakes, the second is the officers and soldiers of Jinling, and the third is the people from the Xia Dynasty's military department. ”

"People in the rivers and lakes want to assassinate, they will not choose people with average kung fu, people of this level are generally cannon fodder on the periphery, and those who can come in will definitely choose the most powerful, but these dozen people are very average in kung fu, but they are good at concealing their whereabouts, and more than a dozen people together, as far as I know, since the destruction of Jinling City, no force on any side knows that the princess is here."

"Besides, Princess Jinzhi sent Tong Yang, such a big move, how can the people in the rivers and lakes not know? What's more, the encirclement of a thousand people, I want to know who is protecting, except for Tong Yang, no one should know, and I can't find their motive for assassinating the princess at all, the two armies are fighting, they all know that Princess Changping is the last hole card, why self-destruct the hole card? Rao is a small lieutenant and knows the pros and cons. ”

"So there is only the third possibility left, it is the people of the Xia Dynasty, who are good at concealing their whereabouts and can know the clear location, except for the scout troops, I really can't think of any other forces, you killed the princess, can you know? Or is it...... That's what he did......"

When Jiang Ning finished saying the last sentence, the scout gasped violently, and the blood in his mouth choked into his throat, letting out a dry cough. And Lu Qinghou was also at this moment, suddenly opened his eyes, according to what Jiang Ning said, this matter was masterminded by Gao Yu, so the question also arose, why did he do this.

"Princess Changping is in Jinling, the situation is unknown, it has been two months, what happened during this period, no one knows, but if the Yongle Dynasty releases the news, what will the court do? To save or not to save? Fight or peace talks? Dilemma, Yongle Dynasty can be used as a threat, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, for the imperial court, this battle is fought, the morale of the frontier has been greatly boosted, and the Hexi Corridor has not yet been recovered in one fell swoop. ”

Lu Qinghou couldn't help but sit up straight, Jiang Ning's analysis of the situation hit the nail on the head, interlocking, it really amazed him, indeed, Princess Lu Yutong of Changping is a great variable, the royal face, do you want it or not? The three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, do you want it or not?

He only thought that the frontier involved troops and military rations, but he didn't expect that if this battle was fought, how inspiring and exciting it would be for the hundreds of thousands of troops on the frontier, he slowly looked at Jiang Ning, and suddenly felt that this person was indeed not simple.

"So for Lord Gao, as long as Princess Changping dies, everything will be fine, what is the task you received? Don't you say it now? Jiang Ning suddenly smiled.

The scout's face changed greatly, Jiang Ning took two steps forward, and shouted with a great sense of oppression: "Do you know that killing the royal family is to destroy the nine clans, of course you can have no father and mother, hehe, the entire scout will be killed because of you, how can this kind of news be left alive?" If it were me, I would have left another team to extinguish your mouths, which means that you will die whether you succeed or fail......"

Jiang Ning suddenly laughed and said, "Strategist, let's go, release the news, tonight, someone will come to kill the ......"

Lu Qinghou got up, didn't look at the man again, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Life or death, it's all up to you, you have to think about it." After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he also followed.

The scout wanted to speak, but he was like a fish in his throat, his thoughts were myriad, and he was at a loss, Lu Qinghou knew that everything was said by Jiang Ning, this kind of analysis without the slightest flaw, all the actions were right, and it was terrifying......
