Jian Ning's anti-poison pill was made by Blind Liu, which is specially used to dispel various kinds of aphrodisiac incense and drugs. It was originally made by Blind Liu for Ding Youtian after Meixiang wanted to drug Ding Youtian, and Ding Youtian gave it to Jian Ning.
She had kept it in the medicine warehouse, but she didn't expect it to come in handy tonight.
In the quiet night, Jane Ning looked at the diffuse smoke and squinted her eyes slightly.
Usually, she narrowed her eyes to show that she was very unhappy. When Baimei saw her unhappy, his cold eyes became even more ferocious.
The tile was removed, and an eye was stuck on it. In a flash, Baimei attacked. A howl sounded, and Baimei fell on the beam. Its throat moved, and the bloody eyeball was swallowed alive by it.
At the same time, the sound of fighting was heard outside the inn, and Tong Bajin's voice was also heard outside the house, "Sir! Madam! Are you all right?"
"It's okay. Don't come into my room. There is a knockout incense." After Jian Ning finished speaking, he heard Tong Bajin's roar. It seemed that many people broke into the inn, and the sound of sharp arrows continued. "Stay in the room and don't move!" Jian Ning shouted at Guoguo who was about to move, and then gave Baimei a warning look before kicking the door open.
As the door opened, several sharp arrows flew in with a piercing sound. Tong Bajin, who was guarding the house, whipped them all away, and they fell to the ground. In a split second, Jian Ning rushed out and tossed a pill to Tong Bajin, "Take it!"
Dodging the sharp arrows, Jane Ning fired a few volleys of bullets with her backhand. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she glanced down and saw more than 20 masked men, all armed with bows and arrows, and five or six of them were fighting with a man holding an iron rod.
"Be careful!" Tong Bajin finished speaking, and Jian Ning leaned back and slid to the stairs along the floor. Several sharp arrows were swept down by the whip in Tong Bajin's hand. He raised his eyes and saw Jian Ning sliding down the stairs with his back pressed against it. He didn't know what hidden weapons were in his hands, and wailing was heard wherever the red light went.
As expected of the daughter of King Pingnan, he cheered up and looked into the room. Not seeing Ding Youtian and the two children, he didn't have time to think about it and rushed downstairs with his whip in hand.
Guoguo couldn't help but follow it out, and when it moved, Baimei moved too.
The inn was in chaos, with cries of grief coming from every room. Thanks to the help of modern high technology, Jian Ning had the help of Tong Bajin and Erlangzi, as well as Guoguo and Baimei, two belligerent and brutal guys. Seeing that the situation was not good, the masked leader shouted to retreat, leaving behind several dead bodies and ran out the door.
Ba Jin and Er Langzi quickly searched the bodies and found tokens from the Rui Wang Mansion. Jian Ning took one, pointed his chin at Er Langzi, and said to Tong Ba Jin, "Take him to your room. When the authorities come, just say you know nothing."
The three of them went upstairs and quickly cleared the arrows from the hallway. Jian Ning returned to the house to free Ding Youtian and his daughter, then woke Ding Youtian up and briefly explained what had happened. "There's a 'Rui' character on this token. Do you know who it belongs to?"
Ding Youtian took it and glanced at it, "Prince Rui."
"On the same side as Prince Yong?"
"Let's ignore him for now. What's going on with that idiot?"
"I don't know. I only know that he and Brother Tong are both masters. But his origins are unknown. I'm afraid he's an undercover agent sent by them. Be careful. Otherwise, I'll give him medicine and send him away in the morning."
Ding Youtian nodded, stroking the token in a daze. The guests in other rooms heard that there seemed to be no movement outside, and people opened the door one after another. The shop owner and the waiters also came out one after another and started shouting.
"I'll go out and take a look." As Ding Youtian walked out of the house, people from the provincial and county government offices arrived.
The person leading the team was the judge Jiang Xiaohe. At this time, many guests gathered in the lobby downstairs, but he looked over the crowd at Ding Youtian upstairs. Jian Ning, Tong Bajin and Erlangzi also came out of the room at this time. Jian Ning saw his eyes sweeping towards Ding Youtian and himself, and his heart trembled.
This person has a bad look!
Jian Ning tilted her head and whispered in Ding Youtian's ear, "This guy looks innocent but has a sinister look on his face. I had a hunch from the look he gave me just now that he knows who we are and might be coming for us. Be careful."
Ding Youtian glanced at Jian Ning and curled his lips slightly, "I know, ignore him and see how he finds us."
Jane Ning nodded and said, "Go back to the house."
During the fight, the innkeeper and the other tenants stayed inside. I wonder if anyone was peeping through the crack in the door, or if one of their people, disguised as a tenant, was secretly monitoring them. "If someone comes out and accuses me of killing those people, and if he brings people up to take you away, he's definitely one of Prince Yong and Prince Rui's gang, and he's here to kill us. How are you going to deal with that?"
Jian Ning asked Ding Youtian, saying that she was the one who killed the man, so only she could go with them. Ding Youtian was in such a weak condition that if they got him in, they could kill him with just a few hits, and afterward they could just say that they didn't know his identity to completely deny the blame.
"I won't sit idly by and watch them take you away. Only I can go with them. Don't stop me then. Brother Tong is good at martial arts. He can protect you and Jiajia and Yaoyao. You can still find a way to get me out from outside, and they can't do anything to me while I'm inside." Jian Ning said as he took out Ding Youtian's official uniform and seal.
Ding Youtian hesitated for a moment and asked Jian Ning, "Are you sure you want to go with them?"
"Go ahead. I don't admit I killed anyone. What can they do to me? How many strong men could a woman like me kill? What weapon did I use? I have no evidence. I don't believe they dare to convict me based on nothing but witness testimony. They can chop off my head."
Ding Youtian smiled, "Madam, your head is quite beautiful. I can't bear to have it chopped off."
"Since you intend to use private servers to get to know the local officials, you can only hear the truth by going deep into the people. They can't always have people watching you. Besides, I can help you find out a few things if I go in. Just don't make trouble for a while."
There were heavy footsteps on the stairs. Ding Youtian was worried that Tong Bajin would call him "sir", so he hurried to open the door, and Jian Ning also came out with him.
A police chief and several yamen runners came towards them. Ding Youtian glanced at Tong Bajin and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
With just this one sentence, Tong Bajin knew that he couldn't call him "sir", so he nodded and said, "That's for sure."
The captain walking in front gestured to Jian Ning and Ding Youtian, "The judge invites you two. Please come in."
"What are you doing?" Erlangzi stood up and nodded towards the people downstairs. "I was the one who killed those people. If you want to arrest me, just take the blame. I will take the blame for my actions alone and will not implicate others."
"Brother, can you kill them all by yourself?" Tong Bajin stepped forward. "And me, the two of us killed them. We're going with you. This young man and his wife have nothing to do with us."
The captain sneered, "Someone witnessed the murder. Why are you two jumping out to cause trouble? Get out of the way!" He reached out to push Tong Bajin, but Erlangzi punched him in the face, yelling, "Beat your mother! Grandpa hit you, arrest me too!"
He moved as fast as lightning and punched the constable on the forehead, causing his head to tilt back. He roared and pounced on Erlangzi like wolves and tigers with several yamen runners.
