After selecting Tian Yuan, Mu Nanjin also selected a middle-aged woman who was an eighth-grade master.
The woman's name was Song Longzhu. All her family members had died, so she joined the court in order to seek asylum.
Mu Nanjin chose her because she was single and had something to ask of the court, and would not easily betray others.
Others who failed in the election would also receive rewards from the court so that their trip would not be in vain.
After the selection was completed, Mu Nanjin wanted to accompany Tian Yuan to meet the emperor together with Kan Chaoyan, but Captain Liu stopped her.
"I'll take you somewhere."
【You are such a troublemaker. 】
Captain Liu: “…”
Mu Nanjin was very upset: "What's the matter?"
"Come with me."
Captain Liu took her back to the Duwei Mansion and showed her around the dungeon: "The dungeon here leads to the Tianlao. After the court, we will have lunch at the Duwei Mansion and deliver food to the prisoners in the prison."
Mu Nanjin asked: "What if I can't get back by noon?"
"Someone else will deliver the food." After Captain Liu left the dungeon, he saw that it was getting late and said, "Today's mission is over. You can go home."
When Mu Nanjin heard that he could go home and rest, he left Duwei Mansion without saying a word.
Instead of going home directly, she ordered a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall to fill her stomach.
Just as she was about to sit down, suddenly, two masked men in black jumped down from the roof next to her, raised their knives and slashed at her.
Immediately afterwards, Heitan grabbed the collar of Mu Nanjin's clothes in his mouth and pulled it back hard, successfully avoiding the attack of the man in black.
The two men in black were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Ma to save Mu Nanjin.
Heitan took advantage of their distraction and quickly raised his front hoof and kicked over, kicking one of the men in black fifty meters away.
With a bang, the man in black who was kicked away smashed someone else's stall.
Tang Jingrui, who had just returned from his shift, saw someone making trouble and immediately went forward to check. Seeing that someone was trying to deal with Mu Nanjin, he quickly drew the big knife from his waist and slashed at the man in black in front of Mu Nanjin.
When the man in black saw that the other party was a captain of the Jinyiwei, he hurriedly fled into the alley nearby.
Tang Jingrui was worried that there were other men in black lying in ambush nearby, so he did not chase them.
"Mu Nanjin, are you okay?"
Tang Jingrui asked again: "Who are they? Why do they want to kill you?"
Could it be that someone who is worried that Mu Nanjin might reveal things that shouldn't be revealed wants to kill Mu Nanjin?
“I don’t know.”
[Even if I knew, you wouldn't believe it. ]
Tang Jingrui frowned: "You really don't know?"
"Um."
[If I say it was your aunt who wanted to kill me, would you believe it? ]
Tang Jingrui: “!!…”
This, this is really hard to believe.
Mu Nanjin has moved out of the Tang family, why doesn't the aunt let Mu Nanjin go? Does the aunt really hate Mu Nanjin so much?
Tang Jingrui walked towards the man in black who was kicked away with suspicion.
I wanted to ask him some questions, but unexpectedly, he was already dead.
He had no choice but to take out a silver ingot to compensate the vendor whose stall was smashed, and then find someone to drag away the body of the man in black.
Mu Nanjin went home after eating the noodles.
Tang Jingrui also returned to the Tang family and told Tang Wenzong what had just happened.
After hearing this, Emperor Wenzong of Tang couldn't believe that his sister would do such a thing as hiring someone to kill someone.
"Are you sure it was really your aunt who did it?"
"That's what Mu Nanjin's heart said."
Tang Wenzong frowned, "So there is no evidence to prove that your aunt did it? Then I can't go and ask her the truth of the matter. Besides, she will definitely not admit it, which will only make us two siblings fall out."
Tang Jingrui thought for a moment and said, "I want to send someone to monitor my aunt. What do you think, Dad?"
Tang Wenzong was silent for a long time before nodding his head in agreement: "You must give your uncle an explanation."
