Nan Zhaoxue cannot judge what is right or wrong. She is not among them and cannot easily judge what is right or wrong among others.

"Master Zhuo, who are you working for?"

Nan Zhaoxue thought for a while: "Or, let me ask another way, who guarantees that if you do these things, you will be able to enter an official career?"

Mr. Zhuo sighed: "Actually, I..."

Before he could finish his words, three sharp iron weapons suddenly flew out, cutting the air, full of murderous intent.

Feng Tianji hugged Nan Zhaoxue and rolled on the spot, avoiding two cold arrows, and the third one...

Mr. Zhuo swayed and looked down at the tip of the arrow that passed through his chest from his back. His mouth was stained red with blood.

He fell to the ground and looked in the direction of the Zhuo family.

"Save...save my dad..."

Feng Tianji closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, he regained his composure and looked down at Nan Zhaoxue in his arms: "Are you okay?"

"No," Nan Zhaoxue shook his head, "The other party doesn't really want to kill us."

Shooting three arrows is just to warn them, or to prevent them from protecting themselves when they have no time to protect Mr. Zhuo.

What they really want to kill is Mr. Zhuo.

Nan Zhaoxue walked to Master Zhuo's body and said, "It seems that someone didn't want him to tell us."

Feng Tianji turned his head and looked in the direction where the arrow came from. The people there had long since disappeared, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Since he dared to kill people under their noses, he had already arranged an escape route.

"Let's go," Feng Tianji said, "go back to Zhuo Mansion."

The follow-up matters here should be handled by the magistrate of Yonghui County, but now he himself has become a criminal.

Feng Tianji transferred several groups of city defenders from nearby.

The city defenders here are different from those elsewhere. They were specially sent because of the special relationship between Shenghui Village.

The general of the city defense army once served under Feng Tianji. This time when he learned that Feng Tianji was coming, he was very excited and worked extra hard on his work.

Those women were also taken out. Although they were unconscious, their family members were still looking for them. They would inevitably burst into tears when they saw them.

As for the secret passage, Feng Tianji and Nan Zhaoxue discussed that they would not allow anyone else to enter and would directly seal it.

Some cruelty and evil will never see the light of day from beginning to end.

Feng Tianji took the body of Mr. Zhuo, Magistrate Wu and his men down the mountain.

Magistrate Wu was temporarily detained. Feng Tianji's top priority was to find out who Mr. Zhuo was, to deal with his funeral affairs, and to save Mr. Zhuo.

Nan Zhaoxue found some medicine in the yard of the second wife of Taoist Temple. She took it back and studied it, and she should be able to find the antidote.

The body of Taoist Jiulian was found under a rock in the back mountain. He was stabbed several times and smashed into pulp, which was considered retribution.

The only regret is that there is no trace of the second lady and I don’t know where she went.

Mr. Zhuo died and took so many people with him, but only his own body came back, which shocked everyone in the house.

For a time, there was no head of the family in the house, and no mistress either.

Fortunately, Feng Tianji's status was high enough and he was temporarily in charge. He sent someone to Beijing overnight to bring a message to the Zhuo family.

He also ordered people to go to the Zhuo Family Academy to report the news.

Nan Zhaoxue asked the housekeeper of the Zhuo family: "Where is Mr. Jiang?"

"Mr. Jiang went out early in the morning. It seems he went to the shop. It has been like this for the past few days. He left early and came back late."

Why does Jiang Haichen go out early and come back late? He should have inspected his shop long ago. Besides, it's not the first time he's come back and he has a place to stay, so why does he have to stay at Zhuo's house?

Nan Zhaoxue always felt that his behavior was strange.

Feng Tianji took her to Master Zhuo's study and found a secret compartment with several letters inside, signed by the prince.

Feng Tianji and Nan Zhaoxue looked at each other. Although it was expected, when they really saw it, their hearts could not help but tremble.

Feng Tianji's face was extremely ugly, and he hit the table with his palm: "Prince! He is really good!"

Nan Zhaoxue took a closer look at the letters. What they wrote was nothing more than saying that as long as Mr. Zhuo works for him and controls Shenghui Village, the benefits of Mr. Zhuo will naturally be indispensable in the future and will give him a good future.

But what Second Master Zhuo needs and wants most is a future.

Therefore, he naturally became a member of the prince's party.

Everything goes as planned.

Nan Zhaoxue frowned slightly, and Feng Tianji saw that her expression was not good and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, what did Second Master Zhuo do?" Nan Zhaoxue pondered, "He killed his wife and daughter and assassinated his father at home. This is a fact, but what about outside? What did he do? In other words, what did he do for the prince?

?”

"He is indeed somewhat related to Jin Guangguan, but he is obviously not as old as his second wife. At the critical moment, the second wife abandoned him. He knows nothing about Jin Guangguan's secrets. At most, he knows that Jin Guangguan is a money-maker.

It’s just a lie.”

"So, what you mean is..."

"I mean, if I were the prince, I would have to let him do something substantial, but now there is obviously nothing that can be said, or in other words, if we report this to the emperor, what evidence will we get?

?

Is it just these few letters? The prince can refuse to admit it. It is not impossible to say that someone forged the handwriting."

Feng Tianji's eyes fell on the signatures of those letters, and he remained silent.

Nan Zhaoxue spread her hands: "So, we have been busy for a long time and risked our lives, but we came up empty-handed. Jin Guangguan did fall, but there is no evidence that it is related to the prince."

She met Feng Tianji's gaze and said, "We can't even convince ourselves that Jin Guangguan really belongs to the prince?"

Both fell into silence.

At this time, there were rapid footsteps outside, and someone came to report: "The prince, the princess, and Magistrate Hao were almost assassinated. He... was scared crazy."

"What?" Nan Zhaoxue and Feng Tianji said in unison.

The two hurried to the yard where Magistrate Wu was imprisoned. There was blood on the ground and there were signs of a fight in the yard.

Magistrate Wu was stabbed in the shoulder with a sword and his head was smashed. His expression was exaggerated and twisted, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Holding a broken stick in his hand, he muttered: "Kill... kill! Kill you, don't come to kill me, don't kill me..."

Feng Tianji suppressed his anger: "What's going on?"

"Back to your lord, the people here were suddenly attacked from the wall over there. They are fast and have good skills. We..."

How could the guards of the Zhuo family be the opponents of such an assassin-level figure?

Feng Tianji was secretly upset because he was negligent. He thought that Magistrate Wu was just a small role, but no one thought that he would chase Zhuo Mansion to kill people.

Nan Zhaoxue whispered: "The more this is the case, the more it shows that perhaps Magistrate Wu is more important than we thought."

"The important thing is that it's too late. It's obvious that he is out of his mind now."

"I'll try."

Just as Nan Zhaoxue was about to step forward, Magistrate Wu picked up a wooden stick and scratched his teeth.

Feng Tianji protected her: "I'll do it."

He took a few steps forward and quickly knocked the stick out of Magistrate Wu's hand. Magistrate Wu was so frightened that he held his head and screamed, but was quickly subdued by Feng Tianji.

"Someone, hold him down!"

Several people came together and held him down. Nan Zhaoxue took out the silver needle and stepped forward.
