After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Qin Li didn't expect that the other party would attack so quickly, and immediately dodged to avoid it, but he was still caught with two blood marks on his neck, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

If he had moved slower just now, I'm afraid his throat would have been crushed by now.

"My lord, since you saw it, you can't blame me!" The honest look on Xiao Wu's face completely faded, and he attacked Qin Li again.

The moves are sharp and reveal ruthless killing intent.

In the darkness, Chu Huanyan was worried and quickly looked at Xiao Jinzhi, "Won't the others help?"

Xiao Jinzhi observed Xiao Wu's moves and said, "Don't worry, Qin Li can handle it."

Sure enough, although his moves were fierce, almost every move was aimed at killing Qin Li, but Qin Li could accurately avoid it. After about a dozen moves, Qin Li turned from defense to attack, and he was captured soon after. Lived each other.

Seeing that the winner was decided, Xiao Jinzhi took Chu Huanyan to the courtyard.

When he saw the two of them, Xiao Wu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"Have you been watching secretly?"

"It's just that I had no other options for a while, so I just waited and waited. I didn't expect that this rabbit like you would be very impatient." Xiao Jinzhi said calmly, looking at Xiao Wu.

The latter gritted his teeth and sneered. In the past, he would sneak in while the flour was being moved, but this time the people above rushed him too quickly, and there happened to be a new arrangement. After that, the rice was transported to the kitchen. He was no longer responsible for the food issue, so he took the risk and took action tonight.

Unexpectedly, there was actually a game waiting for him.

"Are you going to tell the truth now, or are you going to wait for the Gu sect to pry your mouth open?" Xiao Jinzhi looked at Xiao Wu thoughtfully, "Looking at your skill just now, it was pretty good, plus such a Things must always be left to trustworthy people, so I guess your origin is probably a secret guard or a dead soldier raised by a big family, right?"

Upon hearing His Highness's words, Qin Li immediately became more defensive to prevent the other party from committing suicide.

Xiao Wu narrowed his eyes, "You can use whatever means you have, but there are some things you want to get out of my mouth..."

Xiao Wu raised his head and stared at Xiao Jinzhi, "Then it depends on whether you have this ability."

Seeing Xiao Wu's expression, Xiao Jinzhi didn't say much. He just ordered Qin Li to secretly take him back to the Prince's Mansion. Then, he asked someone to carefully investigate Xiao Wu's background.

"Your Highness, according to the investigation, the person named Xiao Wu was assigned to the yamen about half a month ago. He used money to do some favors, saying that he wanted to find a job in the yamen.

After entering the yamen, he pretended to be honest and honest, and got along quite well with other yamen servants. When asked about his background, he only said that his home was somewhere else, there had been a disaster, and his family had died, so he came here. Looking for a job in the Imperial City, there is almost nothing else to find out. "

At noon on the second day, in the prince's residence, Qin Li cupped his hands and reported the news he had just received.

Normally, the Yamen might have paid more attention to it, but half a month ago, so many victims suddenly flooded into the Yamen. It was so chaotic that someone fished in troubled waters and took the money to kill the little five. got it in.

"I know." Xiao Jinzhi glanced at Qin Li's injured neck, "Why don't you apply medicine?"

"Your Highness, it's just a minor injury, not worth mentioning."

The top priority now is to investigate who is behind this incident.

"Everyone has been caught. Shen Chi has also developed an antidote. You don't have to worry so much. You have worked hard these past few days. Take a rest and remember to take some medicine." Xiao Jinzhi added a little more tone to his tone. Concerned.

Qin Li quickly raised his hands and responded, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Soon, Qin Li retreated.

Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi, "What are you going to do now?"

The news that they caught Xiao Wu and that the epidemic was actually man-made poisoning has not spread yet.

Nowadays, the epidemic is still making a fuss. Even if the person behind it has not been found out for the time being, the best way is to announce the news and stabilize people's hearts.

If this delay continues, not to mention the panic among the people, even Xiao Jinzhi's situation in the court may be worrying.

"Yan Yan, you know, I have another purpose this time." The expression on Xiao Jinzhi's face became a little lighter and he sighed softly.

It's just that these days, no courtiers have been found to have any unusual movements. In other words, there is no news about the secret person.

"You just wanted to give it a try before. We didn't have high expectations. Now that we have found the truth, there is no need to continue delaying it. As for the man in the dark..." Chu Huanyan paused. "Maybe he just felt that the time had not come yet, so he didn't want to take the risk of showing up."

To put it bluntly, even if the man in the dark really never appears again, the original incident still needs to be investigated.

If this road fails, we can only continue to pin our hopes on Jiang Zhou.

Xiao Jinzhi turned his head, met Chu Huanyan's eyes, and finally had a smile on his face.

"I understand, the time is almost up, I will order people to spread the news later."

On that day, the news that the epidemic was actually poisoned spread throughout the imperial city. At the same time, Xiao Jinzhi also handed over a booklet and told the whole incident in detail.

Shen Chi also alleviated the conditions of many people through the antidote he developed.

In the dungeon of the Prince's Mansion, Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jin stood in front of Xiao Wu.

The latter was chained to the wall and looked up at the two of them, still with a sneer on his face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally couldn't help but want to interrogate me?"

"The news has spread. You will be sent to Dali Temple soon. Since you have come to the dungeon of the Prince's Mansion, you have to go through the motions." Xiao Jinzhi straightened his clothes and sat on a chair nearby. Next, Chu Huanyan sat beside him.

Xiao Wu looked at them intently, the smile on his face getting stronger, "Then I wonder how His Highness the Crown Prince wants to go through the motions, is it a whip or a branding iron?"

"Those are too troublesome. I don't like listening to people cry like ghosts and howls, and I don't have that much time to waste on you."

Xiao Jinzhi shook his head slowly and leaned on the back of the chair, with a pair of peach blossom eyes slightly cold and a thin smile on the corners of his lips.

"I just want to ask you, are you willing to confess?"

The smile on Xiao Wu's face froze for a moment, and he frowned at Xiao Jinzhi, as if he didn't expect that the other party would just react like this.

"You just want to ask something so innocuously?" Xiao Wu was suspicious, but then he sneered, "I don't want to."

Xiao Jinzhi nodded with satisfaction, "As long as you are willing."
