These guys are all quite skilled and are not as skilled as the bandits from the previous two times.

Is he coming for her again this time? Could it be Su Yuntian? She divorced her husband in public yesterday, bringing such great shame to Su Yuntian, it is not impossible for him to kill her. Mu Jin couldn't help but frown and think.

"Miss, these people didn't have anything on them, but they all had the word evil in the same place on their faces."

Mu Jin and Eleven stepped forward, and the guards came closer with lanterns.

"Miss, look..." The guard pointed at the spot on the black-clothed woman's face.

Mu Jin asked: "Who would tattoo their face?"

The guard replied, "For some serious criminals, the court would tattoo words on their faces and then apply charcoal ink to mark their crimes in order to prevent them from escaping."

"So they were all serious criminals and were tattooed because of this?" Mu Jin asked.

"Yes"

"Go check if any serious criminals have escaped recently." Mu Jin ordered with a frown.

"The black-clothed man who just escaped was stabbed in the arm by me. I will ask the government and our government to search the whole city except for the soldiers on duty. I believe he can't get far."

After the eleven supplements were made, the guards received orders and left Qingwan Courtyard.

At this time, Qing'er and the maid from Qingwan Courtyard came out. Qing'er saw the guards carrying corpses out of the courtyard and couldn't help feeling frightened.

"Miss, are you okay? I was scared to death just now."

"It's okay~" Mu Jin replied Qing'er.

"Who is so bold as to break into our general's mansion and harm the young lady?"

Mu Jin snorted coldly: "Who cares who he is? We'll know once we catch the man in black!"

That night, Miss Mu from the General's Mansion was assassinated. The search for the assassin's whereabouts spread throughout the city, including those who were intentional and those who were unintentional.

Early in the morning, with a creaking sound, two guards opened the door of the general's mansion. When the door was opened, they saw a man in black with a cloth stuffed in his mouth and tied up. He was bending over and lying on his side in front of the door. The guards went forward and saw that the man's face had marks of burns from the assassin last night. They were overjoyed.

The two guards looked around the gate and found no one else. They thought that some knight had seen the general's mansion catching assassins all over the city last night and helped to catch him.

Thinking of this, two guards carried the man in black, who was tied up, into the general's mansion.

At this time, at a street corner not far from the general's mansion, the guard was seen carrying the man in black into the general's mansion and then turning away.

"I say, the master has been paying more and more attention to Miss Mu recently. I wonder if he really likes this married Miss Mu." Ling Feng asked Ling Yu.

"You're such a pig-brained person, you can't have figured it out now, right? Ever since the master asked me to take Mu Yan to the valley to pick up Miss Mu, I felt something was wrong. So when did the master become so nosy?"

Ling Feng was surprised and said, "No way? I heard that Miss Mu originally did not want to save the dying man, but the master tricked Miss Mu with a silver needle that had been wiped of poison, and Miss Mu reluctantly saved the master."

"So, he was forced to save the master, and the master saved him and spent a lot of money to please Miss Mu. Don't you see anything yet?"

Ling Feng suddenly realized it at this moment.

"No wonder the first time Zhang Guangfu hired someone to assassinate Miss Mu, the master asked me to investigate the details of Zhang Guangfu and Shen Qianqian. That day, I brought Zhang Guangfu's wife back to the capital. When we came back, he just said that he saw Miss Mu's maid fainted on the snow on the road. The master even forgot to put on his cloak, so he asked me to rush out of the capital with him. When he came back from the bandit's lair that day, the master caught a cold and didn't get better for several days."

Ling Yu sneered: "Come back that day. The master punished you for no reason, and you don't know why, right?"

"Why? If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. I clearly completed the task. When I came back from the bandit's lair that day, why did the master dislike everything about me and even punished me to clean the stables for a month for no reason?" Ling Feng said indignantly.

Ling Yu smiled and said, "If I had come across Qing'er lying on the snow first, I would have asked two people to take Wang and Qing'er back to the capital first, and I would have taken the rest of my brothers along the wheel tracks to intercept the bandits and rescue Miss Mu. Then, when I came back, I would have received a lot of rewards. How could I be punished to sweep the stables like you?"

Ling Feng's eyes widened, and he tugged at Ling Yu's clothes in anger, "You, you, you, why didn't you tell me? You just watched me get punished, and you giggled beside me?"

"Hey, hey, hey~ Let go of your hands~ You are stupid, how can you blame others?" Ling Yu glanced at Ling Feng unhappily.

"No, no, Miss Mu has been married before, and she married the master's third brother. How can this be allowed?"

Hearing Ling Feng say this, Ling Yu quickly covered his mouth and knocked Ling Feng's head hard.

"You want to clean the stables again? Do you think you can discuss the master's affairs? And is Miss Mu an ordinary woman?"

After saying that, Ling Yu sighed again and said, "It's a pity that even if the master licks his face, the other party may not necessarily like him~"

When Mu Jin was sleeping soundly in the room, Qing'er came in and woke her up, saying that the assassin had been caught.

When Mu Jin heard this, he immediately sat up from the bed and asked, "The assassin was caught so quickly?"

Qing'er smiled and said, "Yes, I heard from the guard that when the door was opened, he saw a man in black tied up and thrown at the gate."

"Wasn't it our people who caught him?" Mu Jin asked doubtfully.

Qing Er said, "No, the soldiers we sent out last night to capture the man in black haven't come back yet."

Mu Jin simply washed up and went with Qing'er to the woodshed where the man in black was temporarily imprisoned.

When they arrived at the woodshed, Eleven was already there. When he saw Mu Jin coming over, he bowed to him.

"Give the order, the assassin has been caught, tell everyone who went out to look for the assassin last night to come back, and notify the government office. Also, except for Eleven, everyone else should leave first."

The guard next to him heard Mu Jin's order and walked out of the woodshed.

Eleven walked forward and pulled off the rag stuffed in the black-clad man's mouth. Only then did the black-clad man gasp and shout for water.

Mu Jin nodded to Eleven, and Eleven took a bowl of water from the side and fed it to the man in black.

Seeing the man in black finish drinking the water, Mu Jin asked, "Can you tell me now? Who are you? What did you do before? And who sent you to kill me?"

The man in black who had recovered said to Mu Jin, "If I tell you, will you let me go?"

Mu Jin sneered: "You wanted to kill me last night. I just gave you a bowl of water. Do you think I'm someone who's easy to talk to?"

The assassin said, "Miss Mu is kindhearted and helped those people for free. I just wanted to see if I have the same luck as those people. Maybe if I'm lucky, Miss Mu can spare my life."

"For your sake, I haven't eaten my breakfast yet. Please finish your talk as soon as possible and don't waste each other's time. Maybe you don't understand my personality. I have everything except patience."
