Suddenly, Shen Tingsi caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and saw that the man thrown to the ground did not look like him at all.
His heart was beating very fast. Could it be that Jiang Xiancao had not fallen into the trap of this group of people?
But his suddenly widened eyes revealed the fact that he was not unconscious.
The wretched man who slowly walked towards his bed was wearing a mask, so he was not afraid of his appearance being seen.
He was not even afraid that this woman would tell others later that she was tied here and the person who had sex with her was not the Ninth Prince, but a strange man whose name she didn't even know.
For a noble lady, it is better to let others think that she is having an affair with the Ninth Prince than to be molested by a lowly thief.
So he just grinned arrogantly, revealing a row of crooked yellow teeth, "Hey, this lady is awake. It's good to be awake, it's more exciting to be awake!"
The wretched man was about to pounce on the bed after he finished speaking. Shen Tingsi smelled the hot sweat odor on his body and felt nauseous.
And this person's sticky hands were about to touch him.
Shen Tingsi gritted his teeth and was about to use all his strength to lift his weak legs to kick the man down, when suddenly, a strong wind came from outside the house.
Before the wretched man could dodge, he was hit on the back of the head by the thrown scabbard and fell unconscious beside the bed.
Shen Tingsi gasped in shock and struggled to get up from the bed, and saw two people fighting fiercely in the yard.
One was the man in black who gave orders to this group of thieves, and the other was Ting Lan, the guard he trusted most in the palace.
The scabbard that knocked the wretched man unconscious just now was thrown by Tinglan.
Beside them, a handsome man stood leisurely under the moon with his hands behind his back.
Seeing his own body in this situation, Shen Tingsi was a little dazed.
He called out softly, "Ginger grass!"
Jiang Xiancao looked at him from afar with an indifferent gaze.
After making sure that there were no ugly marks on her own body, she moved her gaze away from Shen Tingsi.
She just couldn't bear to see her body being ruined, and didn't care at all about Shen Tingsi's mood at the moment.
At the same time, the duel between the man in black and Tinglan also came to an end.
Although the black-clothed man's martial arts skills were not to be underestimated, he was better at lightness skills. In the end, Ting Lan, the palace's number one guard, won.
Ting Lan placed the blade on the neck of the man in black and said coldly:
"Surrender now, and our master will spare your life."
The black-clad man stared at him intently from behind his mask, his eyes like a venomous snake ready to strike back in desperation.
Ting Lan was prepared, so when the black-clothed man suddenly shot out a poisoned hidden weapon from his sleeve, he quickly rolled over to avoid it. When the black-clothed man tried to escape at the moment when his blade left his throat, he sneered:
"You think you can escape with such a childish trick. You really underestimate our prince."
Immediately afterwards, the man in black was surrounded by several secret guards from the Imperial City who descended from the sky.
Shen Yubai was in a wheelchair, pushed into the courtyard by another secret guard.
He raised the corner of his lips, "So it's you, Senior Ghost Shadow, who was famous in the martial arts world ten years ago. I never thought that you, a killer who used to obey only the Tianming Pavilion, would now bring your brother and kidnap young girls. Isn't that shameful?"
The ghost's expression beneath the mask was grim. His escape route was blocked and there was no possibility of him escaping alive.
Jiang Xiancao spoke slowly at this time:
"Tell me your employer, and I'll let you brothers go afterwards. I'll keep my word."
Tonight, she had already discovered Jiang Huaizhu's conspiracy, so she took advantage of it and found a substitute to wear Shen Tingsi's clothes to act as the "Ninth Prince".
After the gang of thieves knocked the Ninth Prince unconscious and took him away, she took Tinglan with her and followed them secretly, all the way to this courtyard.
As a result, he met Shen Yubai who also heard the wind on the way.
She didn't mind Shen Yubai getting involved. Having people from the Imperial City Bureau witness what happened in the courtyard would only benefit her.
At this moment, the ghost saw several secret guards from the Imperial City Bureau getting closer and closer to him, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Be careful, don't let him commit suicide by taking the pills!"
The secret guards of the Imperial City Bureau acted extremely quickly, dislocating his jaw with a single blow, thus preventing him from swallowing the medicine.
Ting Lan stepped forward quickly, not caring about the ghost's saliva, and directly put his hand into his mouth, trying to remove the hidden poison sac.
Although Tinglan clearly touched everything, two streams of black blood still flowed from the corners of the ghost's mouth.
He had his jaw removed, so he spoke ventriloquistically:
"The Tianming Pavilion hasn't disbanded yet, and we brothers are still working for the Pavilion Master! We don't take private jobs, and we don't have any employers at all!"
Shen Yubai's voice suddenly turned cold:
"Why would the head of Tianming Pavilion ask you to kill an unmarried woman?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed!"
After saying this, the ghost died with blood coming out of all seven orifices.
Shen Yubai sent someone forward with a cold face to check.
"Your Highness, someone has already poisoned him. If he stops circulating his internal energy, he will explode and die within a minute."
Hearing this, the blood red in Shen Yubai's eyes spread:
"This kind of bizarre method is indeed the style of Tianming Pavilion."
As the most mysterious organization in the underworld, Tianming Pavilion has been secretly balancing the power of the Imperial City Bureau for many years.
However, within half a year after Shen Yubai took over the Imperial City Bureau, he used a clever trick to successively shut down fifteen branches of the Tianming Pavilion, and the Tianming Pavilion suddenly disappeared.
Some people say that Tianming Pavilion was afraid of Chen Yubai and has been disbanded by the Pavilion Master.
But the ghost's appearance today brought a different explanation.
Jiang Xiancao seemed to be thinking about something.
Just as she had guessed beforehand, Jiang Huaizhu dared to do this at the Empress Dowager's blessing banquet. It is likely that there is more than just the Jiang family's support behind him!
But even she didn't expect that Jiang Huaizhu would be related to an organization like Tianming Pavilion.
When did Jiang Huaizhu get in touch with these dangerous elements?
It should be recently.
Otherwise, Jiang Huaizhu wouldn't have to frame her by falling into the water himself. Wouldn't it be better to just let the killer from Tianming Pavilion kill her without anyone knowing?
Shen Yubai sent someone to check on the wretched man who was knocked unconscious by Ting Lan.
The wretched man was bleeding from all seven orifices and had long since died.
"Uncle, we have another witness."
Jiang Xiancao walked over slowly and pointed at Tianxiang who was collapsed in the yard.
Shen Yubai raised his hand, and the secret guards of the Imperial City Division stepped forward and woke him up without mercy.
When Tianxiang woke up, she was confused at first. After seeing the Ninth Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Zhan, she suddenly realized that something was wrong and her face turned pale.
"I, I don't know anything..."
As she spoke, she was about to hit her head against the wall and die, but was acupunctured by the secret guards of the Imperial City Bureau and could not move.
At this time, there was a noise outside the yard.
The voice of Princess Jingyi, full of curiosity, took the lead:
"Tell me, who slipped that note into the tea? It said there was going to be a good show going on here. Was it just a prank on us?"
"I think there's something fishy going on here. Otherwise, who would go to so much trouble just to send us on this futile journey?"
"Then let's go in and take a look!"
