An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Dark clouds covered the moon, the sky was pitch black, and there was no trace of moonlight. Occasionally there were a few muffled thunders in the clouds, but they soon became calm again, making it unclear whether it would rain or not.

Zhao Prison, which usually doesn't even have lanterns hanging at the door, is now brightly lit, and all the places where lanterns and candles can be hung are used, for fear that there will be dark places in this huge Zhao Prison.

According to common sense, it is rare to see a person on duty at Zhaojiu at night, let alone a town governor, or even a hundred households. But tonight is different. Not to mention the town governor in green official uniform, even the red official The robes are all listed.

The people sitting in the check-in room had heavy expressions. You looked at me and I looked at you. They couldn't make up their minds and could only wait for Lu Wenyu to come over. Even Zhao Jiu, the instigator of the incident, dropped his hands on his knees. His face was not very pretty. He didn't even bother to look at the tea in the cup next to him and let the tea get cold. The expressions of the thousands of households standing behind them were quite relaxed. After all, the matter had nothing to do with them, and they couldn't make up their minds, so they simply acted as silent pillars.

When the atmosphere was dull, Xiao Qi, who went to inform Lu Wenyu, opened the door. He didn't bother to wipe the sweat on his face from running all the way, and quickly knelt down, "Everyone... Sir, Mr. Lu is already on the way. Come back and tell me that you are safe. Mr. Lu said that the Hu assassins will be kidnapped to the torture chamber, and the other people involved can be interrogated overnight."

After finishing speaking, Xiaoqi took a few breaths before continuing, "Third Master, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Yu are staying here. Mr. Cao, could you please go into the palace to talk to Eunuch Feng."

"Yes." Master Cao, the commanding officer, nodded slightly, stood up and raised his fists to Third Master, "Third Master, I'm sorry to trouble you from Zhao Prison, I'm going to the palace right now."

The third master's face looked better, and he returned the salute and ordered everyone to do as Lu Wenyu said. Mr. Cao didn't have time to say anything else, so he hurriedly left the check-in room and walked towards Xiyuan.

After checking in for a while, only the third master, Zhao Ju and Yu Jielin were left. Seeing that everyone was gone, the three of them picked up the tea that had already gone cold on the table.

"Oh, drinking herbal tea in autumn really tastes nothing but bitter." The third master took a few sips before putting down the tea cup in disgust, feeling a little disappointed.

Yu Jielin, who had a relaxed face, didn't mind the bitter taste. On the contrary, he liked bitter tea very much. He held the tea cup and drank it like water. Not to mention tasting it, it wasn't even considered a cow drink. At most, it was just a mouthwash.

"You can still drink the tea." Before the pot of tea was finished, Lu Wenyu had arrived and teased the three of them, but everyone could see the sadness on his face.

The Third Master was still the senior one. He held his hands and smiled and said, "If the top is not in a hurry, the bottom is in a hurry. If you are not here, we have such a big thing that we can't handle."

"Hey, stop talking, let's go to trial first. Mu Zhi, bring the young prince over and call two people to see if Wang Liqing is awake."

"It's early. I've been hit by seven knives. I don't know whether I'm going to die or not. How can I wake up so early?" Zhao replied.

After saying this, Zhao bowed and walked out of the duty room first, heading towards the execution room. Xiao Qi, the guard of the execution room, had already opened the door before Zhao could give orders, bent down and stepped aside.

"Let's go, young marquis, Commander Lu has something to ask, don't worry, it's tonight." After saying that, Zhao waved to Li Yizhen in the execution room, asking him to follow him.

The two walked through several torture chambers and walked into a slightly larger torture chamber. Lu Wenyu was already seated inside, and Yu Jielin was standing next to him. It seemed that the third master hadn't even come yet. Also, when people get old and lack energy, how can they survive.

Seeing Li Yizhen come in, Lu Wenyu smiled and asked, "Little Marquis, are you here for everything tonight?"

"Yes, it is indeed there. It was those two assassins who chased and killed one person. Only later did they see that it was Mr. Wang Liqing. Later, when I heard Mr. Wang said that he was a barbarian, I asked Old...Old Zhao He was left alive." Li Yizhen didn't dare to hide anything and briefly told the whole story. As for what happened in the brothel, he just skipped it.

Lu Wenyu nodded. The results obtained by the others who interrogated the people present were very different from what Li Yizhen said. Moreover, Li Yizhen was a young prince, so there was no need to kill a young Wang Liqing. It should be a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenyu waved his hand and asked Xiao Qi to take Li Yizhen back. "Forgive me, little Marquis. Although the little Marquis is not involved, the rules are the rules. No matter what, the little Marquis has to stay for one day. I forgive you."

"Business matters, please be careful in such important matters." When Li Yizhen went out with Xiao Qi with a smile, she turned to Zhao and winked, and Zhao smiled in understanding, telling Li Yizhen to rest assured.

After Li Yizhen went out, Yu Jielin said softly, "Fifth Master, I have used the golden needles and elixirs, and my mouth is clear and there is nothing."

"Yeah. Let's go to jail. Don't kill him. You have to ask for something no matter what."

After the words fell, two Qianhu came forward, and soon the torture room was filled with heartbreaking shouts one after another. Lu Wenyu had a sullen face and stared closely at the assassin tied to the wooden frame. On the contrary, Zhao and Yu Jielin looked at each other and stood against the wall, as if they didn't hear anything.

After the two sets of muscles and bones were separated, Lu Wenyu's deep voice came out, "Tell me, who asked you to kill people? Prison is not fun. If you tell me, you will be released."

The tied assassin laughed first, but he was breathing heavily and his face was shaking, looking a little weird. It wasn't until he took a deep breath that he raised his head and spat at Lu Wenyu.

"Oh, tough! I like it! If you continue to torture me, I won't believe it. Your mouth is really so tough!"

Before he finished speaking, the shouts started. The two Qianhu's hands became a little more forceful, and even Qianhu's face became a little more ferocious. But the assassin seemed mute, just shouting without saying a word. Not to mention Lu Wenyu, even Zhao who was standing was a little impatient.

Finally, after changing three or four methods, the assassin couldn't stand it anymore and said softly, "I don't know. I just received orders from above to kill people. I don't know how many people there are."

Seeing the assassin speaking, Lu Wenyu was relieved. If there was no result tonight, how would he explain to the emperor? But it's easy at the beginning, just follow it up.

"It's not a big deal to die. I understand that a dead soldier is dead, but I'm curious, how did you sneak into the capital?" Lu Wenyu stared at the assassin, as if he wanted to see him out.

"Haha." The assassin chuckled with the corner of his mouth, his nose opened and closed as he breathed out, and mocked, "It's nothing more than a household registration document. If you spend money, everything will be fine?"

Zhao agreed with this. Is it worth spending this money just to kill a little Wang Liqing? Zhao just folded his hands and looked at the assassin with confusion.

"Alas." Lu Wenyu sighed as if with emotion, waved to Qianhu to take the assassin down, and walked out with his head lowered. Zhao and Yu Jielin looked at each other, both confused, but Lu Wenyu left, and they both People can only follow behind.
