The guards in front of the carriage came over at this time. Just as they were about to raise their swords, they saw their master died suddenly on the spot. They looked at the masked man in shock.
The cold eyes swept over them, and the guards' hearts trembled, and they dared not step forward.
Qin Yao quickly took off an ornament from Guo Lin's waist as evidence, and rushed out like a bull. All the guards who stood in front of her were knocked away by this super strong force, and no one could stop her.
In less than three breaths, Guo Lin was dead, the guard was injured, and the murderer escaped without a trace.
It is difficult to survive against a killer who possesses both strength and speed and is very decisive.
"Bang, bang!" Twice.
There's a knock on the door.
Mu Ling had always been a light sleeper. She sat up in bed instantly, thinking of someone. She got out of bed and opened the door in disbelief, and a double phoenix ring appeared in front of her.
In the middle of the rings and pendants, Qin Yao was covered tightly, with only her eyes showing.
"I've done your job. When will you do mine?"
Mu Ling took off the ring in disbelief. It was the Double Phoenix Ring, indeed the ring that the eldest princess personally gave to Guo Lin. There was only one of its kind in the world.
"So fast?" Mu Ling put away the jade pendant and looked Qin Yao up and down in surprise. She didn't have any weapons on her and not even a drop of blood. How did she do that?
Qin Yao raised her chin towards the room, and Mu Ling nodded. She walked into the room, found the teapot, poured herself a glass of water, and said after drinking it:
"The less you bring, the fewer loopholes you will leave. That's why I didn't bring any weapons. I arrived at the time you said, met the target person, confirmed his identity, and then twisted off his head and sent him to see the King of Hell."
"About two and a half hours." Qin Yao counted on her fingers, "From the time I left home to the time I got to your place, it was probably a little over two and a half quarters of an hour."
On the way, she bought a bowl of midnight snack on the roadside and ate while coming here.
The boss put too much salt in the food, which made her choke. Now she feels better after drinking a glass of water.
Of course, Qin Yao didn't tell Mu Ling about this, otherwise she would definitely have continued to nag about it, for example: What if someone sees you coming here in such a brazen manner!
what to do?
Of course it's served cold, she's in charge of killing but not burying. Cleaning up the tail is another price.
However, there was no surveillance, the incident happened in the south of the city, and she was having supper in the east of the city, so there was basically no possibility of suspicion.
Overall, Qin Yao is quite satisfied with her work efficiency.
Mu Ling stood in front of her, wanting to laugh but feeling too embarrassed to do so. Finally, he extended an olive branch to Qin Yao again.
"How about giving you the rank of seventh-rank sergeant and letting you join the Royal Guards and be the deputy captain?"
Qin Yao put down the cup, stood up, and waved her hand, "It's okay, I have a family, and if I can't give it up, I won't hinder you from achieving your goals."
Mu Ling tilted his head and laughed at himself, "Never mind, I've already asked my men to handle your matter, and the result will be out tonight. You go back and wait for the news. It's late, and I still need to sleep."
This is what it means to send the guests away. Qin Yao shrugged, thought about it, and clasped his fists again, "Thank you!"
Mu Ling patted the double phoenix pendants in his arms and said, "You're welcome. It's my honor."
The two nodded in a friendly manner and the transaction was successfully completed.
Qin Yao retreated, walked onto the roof, looked at the chaotic scene in the south of the city all the way, and calmly returned to the inn.
Liu Ji was still sleeping like a dead pig. Qin Yao stepped over him and threw herself into the quilt. There seemed to be some residual warmth left in the quilt before she left, and she soon fell asleep peacefully.
at the same time.
The door of Jiang Wen's house was knocked loudly, and everyone in the family was awakened.
Jiang Wen quickly put on his clothes and came to the door, then asked vigilantly, "Who is it?" Someone knocking on the door so late at night startled people.
"Open the door!"
A woman's voice came from outside the door, colder than the cold night of December: "I'm sending you something."
Jiang Wen's heart tightened and he didn't dare to open the door. He tried to stick close to the crack of the door and saw a woman in red standing in the dim light outside.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Jiang Wen carefully opened the door a crack.
The woman sneered at him speechlessly, took out a release order from her sleeve and handed it to him, "Your company's cargo ship is already at the dock, go and get it."
After saying that, he turned around, mounted his horse and left.
The people in the city were not allowed to ride horses fast in the city at night, but the other party dared to ignore the rules. Jiang Wen was both happy and surprised.
The good news is that the cargo ship seizure that had troubled us for months was finally lifted.
What shocked them was the other party's identity and origin. Who on earth helped them?
This woman was obviously not from the government, but judging by her attire and demeanor, she was definitely not an ordinary person.
But now Jiang Wen had no time to think so much. The cargo ship could not be delayed for a moment, so he hurried back to the house, put on his clothes, comforted his family, got the release order and hurried out.
First, wake up the people from the trading company and rush to the dock to pick up the goods overnight.
By the time the sky got light, the seized cargo ships had all been counted. A few boxes of high-quality tea were missing, which amounted to three or four hundred taels of silver. However, such a loss was unexpectedly low.
When Jiang Wen was counting the goods, he also found several boxes of exquisite porcelain that were placed in a mess. He initially thought that they were messed up by the people from the Grain Transport Bureau during the inspection.
Later, the waiter reminded me that there were signs of use in the porcelain cup. Then I realized that it was taken away and then returned by someone.
Because they were in a hurry and had no time to clean up, the stains were left behind, so it is not difficult to imagine the other party's fear and panic at the time.
Jiang Wen was full of doubts. He packed up the goods and prepared to take his men away, when the transport director of the Grand Canal Administration unexpectedly showed up.
The adult, whom he had never met before, actually came to him in person to ask a small waiter whether any goods were missed or lost. If so, he could tell him and he would definitely help find them.
Jiang Wen was flattered. How could he dare to trouble the transport officer to help him find goods worth "only three or four hundred taels of silver"? He quickly said that he didn't have any.
He felt relieved when Lord Yunsi said this, and blamed him openly and secretly, asking why he didn't tell him earlier that he had the support of a big shot, which led to such an embarrassing situation now.
Even when he returned to the company, Jiang Wen was still confused.
He got all the answers only when his clerk told him that Guo Lin, the owner of Jingyun Commercial Bank, had been murdered and died suddenly last night.
If he was not mistaken, the female soldier who followed the government, wearing a red military uniform and coldly ordering the officials of Zijing Mansion to thoroughly investigate the Guo Lin case, she wanted to see who was so bold as to touch their highness's people, should be the woman who came to deliver the letter to him late at night.
Guo Lin died suddenly, and the Princess's guards specially sent him a letter. Each piece of news shocked Jiang Wen's already fragile nerves after a night of hard work.
Even the owner of the Fulong Trading Company was shocked. He didn't know how Jiang Wen got to know such a noble man, and kept asking him politely how much he had hidden from him.
Jiang Wen rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling very flustered. He really didn't know anything!
