Could it be that the man in front of them was not the person they were looking for, and was really just an injured illegitimate child?

Just when the man in black was suspicious and hesitant, the accomplice next to him walked up to him and spoke in a lowered voice.

"Whether it's true or not, kill the person first and then talk about it."

"No." The man in black shook his head, "My master has told me not to harm the lives of other innocent people until the critical moment. And someone is already investigating. If the matter gets serious, the news will easily leak."

The man in black thought for a while, and the next moment his eyes suddenly became sharp, and the sword in his hand stabbed Xiao Jinzhi directly.

The latter panicked and tried to avoid, but there was a wall behind him. After struggling, he still fell on the spot. He could only watch the sword getting closer and closer, with a pair of eyes filled with fear.

The sword tip stopped when it was still half an inch away from Xiao Jinzhi.

When the other party looked at Xiao Jinzhi's fearful look, the suspicion in his heart became less and less.

If it was really Emperor Tianyi, even if he was injured, he should still be able to evade, and he wouldn't show such a frightened look, right?

But, what if the acting is too good!

While the man in black was still hesitating, Xiao Jinzhi, who had come to his senses, moved aside in horror, still cursing Wu Lin.

And just as he moved, the pendant hanging from his waist fell off.

Xiao Jinzhi immediately reached out and picked it up almost instinctively, carefully brushing off the dust on it.

The man in black also saw the pendant, raised the tip of his sword, and took the pendant directly into his hand!

"Whatever you do, it's mine!" Xiao Jinzhi said immediately, then turned his eyes and added, "That's the only thing my mother gave me, no one is allowed to take it away!"

The man in black took a closer look at the pendant in his hand. The jade was of average quality and could be found almost everywhere on the street. However, looking at the appearance of the jade, it seemed that he had played with it frequently and cherished it very much.

For a moment, the man in black's face turned pale, and he said to the other men in black: "It's all in vain, he is not the person we are looking for."

"How are you sure?"

The man in black shook the pendant in his hand, "How could the person we are looking for carry such a cheap pendant and cherish it so much?"

After saying that, the man in black glanced at Xiao Jinzhi again and threw the pendant beside him in disgust.

Looking over the Wu family present, the man in black looked threatening, "If you dare to spread a single word about what happened tonight... no one will survive!"

The coldness in the words made many people shiver, and several servants responded one after another.

Wu Lin pursed her lips and was about to nod when she saw Xiao Jinzhi behind the man in black suddenly winked at her.

Wu Lin thought for a while, then pointed at Xiao Jinzhi and said, "You might as well take another look. Maybe he is the person you are looking for. Take him away quickly!"

The man in black glanced at Wu Lin but said nothing, but Wu Lin refused to give up and continued.

"If that doesn't work, I'll give you money and you can help me kill this bastard!"

"Lin'er!" Wu Song interrupted Wu Lin angrily.

After all, he had been deceived and deceived for many years, so he certainly had some acting skills, but he was so panicked that it was difficult to react for a moment. Now that he had recovered a little, he immediately understood that his daughter was continuing to act in order to better dispel these people. suspicion.

He struggled forward and grabbed Wu Lin's arm.

"My father has really spoiled you these years. No matter what, he is your brother after all. How can you be so cruel! Besides, you are just a girl. You will get married sooner or later. My father also pointed out I hope your brother can continue the incense for me!"

"Okay, you finally told the truth. I knew that because I beat him, you have always been dissatisfied, but don't forget, even if my mother dies, she will still work hard with you to own this family property. Those who come down, don’t even think about leaving them to the bastards..."

With a "pop" sound, Wu Song slapped Wu Lin. Because his hands were shaking so much because of his distress, he could only pretend to be shaking with anger, pointing at Wu Lin and saying.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, my father will never forgive you!"

Wu Lin's eyes widened and she covered her face, tears bursting instantly.

The good acting skills of the father and daughter made the last suspicions about Xiao Jinzhi disappear in the hearts of those in black.

They did not stay, but once again warned the Wu family that if what happened tonight was leaked, they would definitely come back to retaliate and cut off the railings as a threat.

Finally, amid the horrified responses of the Wu family's father, daughter, and servants, the man in black flew away.

The moment the figure of the man in black disappeared completely, Wu Song and Wu Lin's legs went weak almost instantly.

And Xiao Jinzhi also supported it to the extreme, clenched the jade pendant in his hand, and passed out.

At this time, in the inn on the other side.

When Chu Huanyan and Qin Li went to the drug store to inquire, they also quietly inquired whether anyone had bought the medicine, and now the news had also spread.

"Mr. Wu? Which hot spring?" Chu Huanyan followed Qin Li who reported the news.

The latter nodded, "Yes, and Madam, someone seems to have inquired about this news before us."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Huanyan became nervous instantly, "When?"

"This afternoon."

Probably because people were asking about this news one after another, the guy took it seriously. He didn't tell the truth at first, but he saw the clues and spent some money. Then he said that Mr. Wu had bought some medicine for wounds, and that this afternoon's Sometimes, a strange man also inquired about this.

Chu Huanyan's heart trembled. If the injured person was Xiao Jinzhi, and Mr. Wu bought the medicine just to treat Xiao Jinzhi, and the assassin also got the news, then...

"Qin Li, immediately send someone to the Wu family secretly."

"Yes." Qin Li responded.

"Wait!" Chu Huanyan stopped Qin Li and said after thinking, "Tell the people sent to let them deliberately expose some flaws to ensure that if someone is watching secretly, their whereabouts can be discovered."

"Your Majesty, why is this?" Qin Li was puzzled, "What if the emperor is in the Wu family and someone secretly follows the clues? Wouldn't it only expose the emperor?"

"If Xiao Jinzhi is really in the Wu family, we will have received the news too late, and we are afraid that the assassins have already taken action. But Xiao Jinzhi may be able to evade the search. In this way, the Wu family will be temporarily safe. We will send people to check the hiding place, and then exit if nothing is found, so that we can hide it better."

Qin Li understood, but after a moment he asked again: "Mother, what if the emperor has been discovered, or what if the emperor is not in the Wu family at all?"

Chu Huanyan took a deep breath, "If it's the first type, then we can only see what the man in the dark wants to do. As for the second type... While sending people to the Wu family, the previous investigation will continue, and we can't let it go. If there are any clues, we must find Xiao Jinzhi!"
