"Let go of his mouth." Jingyu pointed at the man in black lying on the ground.
The secret guard immediately stepped forward and took the thing out of his mouth.
However, the first thing he said wasn't to curse the secret guards who beat him, but to curse his companions: "Dog, son of a bitch, I just blocked the knife for you, and you, this is how you repay me?"
After he finished scolding, Jing Yu continued, "If he hadn't spoken just now, I would have had someone torture you.
Now I give you a chance. If you tell the truth, I will torture him."
As soon as Jingyu said this, the man in black with his face covered and his mouth gagged immediately knew his ultimate intention. He didn't hit himself but hit his companion instead. He simply wanted to use his companion's hatred for him to force and induce him to confess.
He ignored the fact that his mouth was blocked and wanted to remind his companions not to be fooled, but when he opened his mouth, he could only make a "wuwuwu" sound.
Moreover, his companions hated him so much at this time that even if he could speak, how could they be willing to listen to his nonsense?
The man in black lying on the ground actually became excited when he heard that as long as he confessed, he could make that heartless guy taste the pain he had suffered.
He even propped himself up and sat up, pointing at his companions and saying, "If you cut through his hand and foot meridians, I will tell you."
"Wuwuwu..." The invisible and speechless man in black kept struggling, as if he wanted to say something to his companions. It was just unknown whether he wanted to beg for mercy or say something else.
Unfortunately, his companions were already blinded by hatred at this moment. The more they saw him like this, the more excited they became. "You ungrateful thing, you have come to this day? Hahaha..."
Soon, Jingyu raised his hand, and a secret guard immediately stepped forward and cut off his hand and foot meridians.
Seeing him sweating profusely and in great pain, unable to even scream, his companions felt extremely happy.
"You can tell me now!" Jingyu said, looking at the person on the ground.
"We are a killer organization called Dark Pavilion in the underworld. Someone offered money to buy the lives of two people." The people on the ground knew that they could not survive and were betrayed by their companions, so they just gave up.
"Do you know who you want to kill?" Jingyu asked.
The man on the ground shook his head. "I'm just a low-level assassin in the organization. I only know how to identify and kill people based on portraits. I have no right to inquire about the background of my assassination targets." He pointed at his companion and said, "The portrait is with him."
Jingyu immediately ordered someone to search, and sure enough, they found portraits of Tian An and Zhao Yiming on the man, confirming that they were targeting them.
"Then do you know who paid you to kill someone?"
The man in black still shook his head, but he was determined to oppose his companion, so he pointed at the man and said, "He's the team leader, he must know. I once accidentally saw him asking the person in charge of assigning tasks for information about his employer."
Jingyu glanced at the man along the line of his hand and said, "Then do you know who or what he cares about and that could threaten him?"
Upon hearing this, the man in black who had been pretending to be dead immediately became excited and kept making “woohoo” noises.
It seems that there really is one. Jingyu looked at the person on the ground with a half-smile and said, "If you tell me, I promise to hurt him again."
The man in black on the ground's eyes lit up. He was alone and it wouldn't matter if he died, but unfortunately he was heartbroken by his companion. Now he didn't want to think about anything else and just wanted to take someone with him.
Then, he looked at his companions with a sinister look and said, "Most of us are orphans, and we have no one to rely on, so we embarked on this journey.
But he was different. He had a family background, and he had always kept it a secret from the organization. Unfortunately, I discovered him when he secretly went back to visit me one day.
I was originally going to keep this secret for him for the rest of his life, but unfortunately..."
He then clearly explained all of Captain Killer's family situations.
Seeing that the killer captain's face turned paler with every word he said, Jingyu knew that he was not lying. Only after he had confessed everything did he have him dragged away.
Then he came to the killer captain and tore the cloth out of his mouth with his own hands.
"Well? Do you want to tell me now, or wait until I invite your family over?"
The assassin team leader looked dejected. "I said, the employer is..."
Perhaps because he had a family, every time he took a task he would subconsciously ask his superiors for information about the employer, always thinking that if he was caught one day, he could use this to buy a way out for his family. However, he didn't expect that day to come so soon.
When he was dragged away by the secret guards, he was still looking towards Jing Yu pleadingly, "Please don't hurt my family, please."
Jing Yu sneered, "When you hurt others, have they ever begged you like this? And what did you do? Since you entered this line of work, you should have expected this day to come."
This is the tragedy of a killer. If you care about someone, you will have a weak spot, and the same goes for secret guards.
Jingyu only hopes that this day will never come to Chixiao or any of the secret guards under his command.
The next day, Jingyu told Zhao Yiming the results of the overnight interrogation. When Tian Mingwu came to ask, Zhao Yiming just said that it was a family matter and he would handle it cleanly and would not let Tian An suffer any harm.
Thinking of the situation in Duke Zhao's Mansion, Tian Mingwu roughly guessed something. After getting Zhao Yiming's assurance, he stopped asking.
Because it snowed all night, the road was blocked by snow, so they could only stay in the inn and wait until noon when the snow melted before setting off again.
Zhao Yiming simply took Tian An out shopping.
Tian An thought that since he had been out for so long, he had to bring some things for his younger siblings and good friends at home!
I enthusiastically visited various shops, buying all kinds of gadgets, jewelry, and special foods, and bought everything I liked.
In addition, Tian An also bought a lot of sour preserved fruits. "If you still feel carsick when you take the carriage in the afternoon, eating something sour can relieve it."
When Zhao Yiming heard Tian An say that eating sour food can relieve motion sickness, he immediately went to the waiter to pack up some more. If Tian An hadn't stopped him, he would have packed up all the sour things in the store.
After buying the preserved fruits, Zhao Yiming was afraid that Tian An would suffer on the road, so he simply asked someone to buy a lot of meat and vegetables, and if there were any fresh fruits, he would buy them immediately.
"It's cold now, and these things won't break. You may not always be able to find an inn to stay in on the road, so you have to be prepared to start your own fire."
Tian An nodded. She had been getting hungry quickly recently, so she simply dragged Zhao Yiming to buy a lot of local famous pastries, planning to eat them slowly in the carriage.
Although she might not be able to eat anything due to motion sickness, An Wan, Deng Xue, Ye Zi and the others could eat too, so she would never give up.
As a result, the two of them bought a lot of things on impulse, thinking that the carriage would not be able to fit them all in, so they simply bought another carriage and took them back.
An Wan was shocked when she saw the two of them go out and bring back a carriage full of things.
You have to know that her current consumption concept is still stuck in the past when she was in Jinning County. Seeing this, she just thought her daughter was a spendthrift. She couldn't help but frequently look at the face of her son-in-law Zhao Yiming, fearing that he would despise her daughter.
