Upon seeing this, Huangfu Qiu said to Xie Xunfeng, "How did you conclude that they will definitely come?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Qiu, "Because, all this is my plan!"
As soon as Xie Xunfeng finished speaking, the assassin said coldly, "Huh, we knew earlier and you were prepared! Come here today and either hand over the evidence or your life!"
After hearing what the assassin said, Xie Xunfeng laughed and said, "Come on, I'll sit here."
After saying that, Xie Xunfeng acted as if nothing had happened and ordered a lot more mutton.
The leader of the assassin said in a low voice, "Hmph, thank you fool, since we dare to come, we are absolutely sure... It seems that you are not willing to cooperate... Then I will send you to hell."
"
As he spoke, the assassin pulled out his knife and attacked the jailer on the side...
Twenty assassins, facing nearly sixty jailers, did not lose at all, but seemed to have the upper hand.
Judging from their skills, they are indeed masters among ordinary people.
"Tell your men to withdraw immediately. If the fight continues, they may all be lost here!" Xie Xunfeng said calmly.
Huangfu Qiu looked ugly and said to Xie Xunfeng, "If you want to evacuate, you should evacuate first... These people are all professional assassins..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Qiu, "They are the ones I'm waiting for? How could I run?"
After Xie Xunfeng finished speaking, he stood up and turned his hands like flowers into two small knives.
Then he rushed towards the assassins.
Xie Xunfeng moved so quickly that he didn't even see his movements clearly.
The assassins fell to the ground incapacitated.
In less than a minute, the jailers who were still passively defending stood there blankly.
Looking at the assassin lying motionless on the ground.
He took another look at Xie Xunfeng, who had already gone back to cook the hot pot.
They widened their eyes and looked at Xie Xunfeng in disbelief.
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Qiu, "You can take him away. I shouldn't be needed for interrogation."
Huangfu Qiu's eyes changed when he looked at Xie Xunfeng, and he nodded.
He stopped eating hot pot and just called the jailers to take the person away.
After walking a few steps, Huangfu Qiu suddenly remembered something and said to Xie Xunfeng, "What did you do to them? Why didn't you commit suicide by taking poison this time?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Qiu, "I attacked their acupuncture points and they will temporarily lose control of their bodies...
"
As he said this, Xie Xunfeng took out a small porcelain vase and gave it to Huangfu Qiu.
Huangfu Qiu looked at Xie Xunfeng in confusion and said, "This is..."
"This is the antidote. After feeding it to them, even if they regain control of their bodies, they will not be able to commit suicide..."
Huangfu Qiu looked at Xie Xunfeng with an increasingly penetrating gaze, and said to Xie Xunfeng, "Tomorrow, the interrogation will definitely have a result!"
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Qiu, "Huangfu Ling, I have something to ask you!"
Huangfu Qiu looked at Xie Xunfeng and said, "You want me to take the credit?"
Xie Xunfeng smiled and said to Huangfu Qiu, "It's easy to talk to smart people. Are you willing?"
"Give me a reason." Huangfu Qiu asked Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng said, "I just want to live..."
Huangfu Qiu glanced at Xie Xunfeng but said nothing.
...
The next day, inside the Jinluan Hall.
Xiao Shentian sat in the center of the hall, accepting the kneeling worship of the civil and military officials of the court.
After the ceremony, Huangfu Qiu was the first to come out, and then he raised his hands to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the assassination case you personally ordered me to assist in the investigation has come to a conclusion. The assassination case was planned by the third son of the Yuan family. As the saying goes, now people
The evidence and evidence are all there! We have arrested the third son of the Yuan family, and he has no objection to this and has confessed to all crimes!"
Xie Xunfeng was full of surprise after hearing Huangfu Qiu's words.
There must be something wrong with this.
Subconsciously, he looked towards Wu Guozhang on the side.
A faint smile appeared on Wu Guozhang's face.
Something must have gone wrong last night.
After hearing this, Xiao Shentian had a serious look on his face, but he didn't even raise any doubts, allowing Huangfu Qiu to close the case hastily.
It was obvious that he wanted to calm down the matter.
Xie Xunfeng looked at Xiao Shentian's reaction and already guessed that perhaps the involvement behind this assassination case was too wide...
It has reached the point where even the emperor has to retreat.
However, Xiao Shentian didn't care about the outcome of this assassination case.
He only needs Xiao Shentian's approval, and this result will be enough.
"Your Majesty, now that the assassination case has been solved, it hasn't even taken a week. Now, can you break off the engagement for me?" Upon seeing this, Xie Xunfeng hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"I, since I have promised you. Now that you have helped Huangfu Qiu solve this assassination case, I will terminate your engagement with the eldest princess!"
After Xiao Shentian finished speaking, he looked at Wu Guozhang.
"Wu Guozhang, do you have any objections?"
Wu Guozhang shook his head repeatedly and said, "Since His Majesty promised to thank the proton, there is no reason to go back on it now."
"Okay, then from now on, the eldest princess and Xie Zhizi are no longer engaged in a marriage contract. They can choose a good spouse again!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie Xunfeng bowed to Xiao Shentian and then stepped aside.
The conversation in the morning after that was all about innocuous things.
He announced his resignation.
Everyone dispersed. When Huangfu Qiu was at the door, he grabbed Xie Xunfeng and said, "Xie Zhizi, wait a moment..."
Xie Xunfeng asked Huangfu Qiu, "What's wrong with Huangfu Ling...?"
"Xie Zhizi, you have been pushing this case from the beginning. Are you not surprised by today's result?" Huangfu Qiu asked.
Xie Xunfeng said, "Your Majesty has admitted it, so what should I be surprised about?"
Huangfu Qiu took a deep look at Xie Xunfeng, and then said, "Your Majesty is waiting for us..."
Xie Xunfeng glanced at Huangfu Qiu, then nodded and followed.
After arriving at the emperor's palace.
Xiao Shentian glanced at the two people, and then said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xie Zhizi, don't you have anything to ask?"
Xie Xunfeng glanced at Xiao Shentian and smiled innocently.
Xiao Shentian said to Xie Xunfeng with a serious face, "Xie Zhizi, haven't you always wanted to marry the third princess? I will give you a chance now! As long as you help me do this well, you will be my third princess of Daxia."
