Jiang Ling was listening in the carriage and admired Shen Qingru very much. She was indeed a cold and cruel person. She would kill the assassins she trained without any hesitation.
If she were asked to harm someone, she would have to kill Xiao Jia, Xiao Yi and the others to prevent herself from being implicated. She really couldn't do it.
But now is not the time to admire her, she is his enemy.
How can you enhance the enemy's prestige and destroy your own ambition?
She closed her eyes and gathered her emotions.
It's time to act.
Cheng An clenched his fists in anger: "It's like this again. Does she think that if she kills people, they won't know it was her who did it?"
Jiang Ling lifted the carriage curtain and said to Zhou Jing'an, who was sitting on his horse outside, "Mr. Zhou, I'm not going back home. Can you take me to the Jingzhao government office?"
Her eyes were still red and her face was pale, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
The voice was firm and unyielding, yet contained a tremor.
Zhou Jing'an frowned, but seeing her like this, he had no choice but to nod.
It just so happened that this time, combined with the last time, the appearance of so many assassins in the capital was no small matter. He had to inform Jingzhao Yin Zhao Xiang and ask him to investigate it thoroughly, and he also had to go to the palace and tell the emperor everything.
"Lord Zhao," Zhou Jing'an bowed, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated."
Although Zhou Jing'an is not an official yet, it is only a matter of time before he becomes one.
Besides, he has a close relationship with the emperor, so he still has to show some respect to Zhou Jing'an.
Zhao Xiang nodded. "I'll have the coroner examine the bodies immediately and then search the streets where the people died. If we find the silver needle, we might be able to find the key to solving the case."
"Then I'll trouble you, sir."
Zhao Xiang smiled and waved his hand: "This is my job." After that, he went to give orders for the investigation of the case.
Zhou Jing'an left and saw that Jiang Ling and the others had finished taking notes. Seeing him approach, Jiang Ling went over to him and asked, "Mr. Zhou, how is it going? Do you have any clues?"
Seeing that Jiang Ling looked unwell, Zhou Jing'an planned to send her back home to rest first. He could let the guards take the record instead, since they were all present.
It's better to stay away from this kind of fighting and killing. How can a good young lady run to the government office all day long?
Sure enough, Zhou Jing'an sighed inwardly as he watched Jiang Ling's face grow even more gray and haggard. He consoled her, "Lord Zhao will investigate thoroughly. You just need to wait for the results."
Looking at her nervous expression, he added stiffly at the end: "Don't be afraid."
Jiang Ling was stunned, then her nose felt sore and she was about to cry. She bowed and thanked him, "Thank you so much, Master Zhou. You saved my life twice. Ling'er has no way to repay you."
The people around couldn't help but look at Jiang Ling, wondering if she would say she would pledge herself to him next.
Even Zhou Jing'an curled up his hands and stared at her lowered eyes silently.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ling blurted out: "From now on, Mr. Zhou's affairs will be Ling'er's affairs. Ling'er will repay the favor even if she has to work like a slave."
Everyone:?
Work like a horse or an ox?
Isn't it about promising yourself to me?
Zhou Jing'an paused, then smiled helplessly at Jiang Ling's serious face, "Miss Jiang, don't take it too seriously. It's just a small favor for me."
Jiang Ling raised her eyes and met Zhou Jing'an's smiling eyes. Her pretty face blushed and she lowered her head again.
Zhou Huanan stood aside, holding her chin and observing the two of them.
wrong.
Neither of these two people is right.
When did Jiang Ling become like this?
It was very quiet in the carriage just now, and there was no loud crying or wailing when we arrived at the government office?
This almost killed me.
And her older brother.
Why do Jiang Ling's eyes look so gentle and doting?
She must have seen it wrong.
It must be.

Zhao Xiang had just ordered the coroner to examine the body when he saw Cheng Zhihuai, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, come in with someone.
The leader was about forty years old, with a long black beard, wearing official uniform and hat, and looked elegant and easy-going.
The person half-bent over behind him had a dark complexion and a thin figure, and looked no more than thirty.
Cheng Zhihuai originally came to submit a case to him, but Zhou Jing'an suddenly brought people to report to the police, so Cheng Zhihuai asked him to go ahead.
"Sir Cheng." Zhao Xiang said politely.
Although the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is of the third rank, one level lower than Jingzhao Yin, Dali Temple is one of the three courts, and the officials in it are all capable, especially Lord Cheng, so Zhao Xiang always has to show some courtesy.
Cheng Zhihuai bowed and asked with a smile, "I heard there was an assassination case?"
"That's right. We captured five suspects alive, but they suddenly died on the way here." Zhao Xiang said briefly.
This is not easy to check.
Cheng Zhihuai pondered for a moment and said, "This case is indeed difficult. Why don't I lend Li Qi to you so that we can find clues quickly?"
The person following him took half a step forward and bowed.
Li Qi is a coroner at the Dali Temple. He is a very capable man. He has his own way of examining corpses and often finds things that others cannot.
Zhao Xiang's eyes lit up, and he quickly smiled and thanked her, "If that's the case, then thank you very much, Master Cheng, for giving it up."
"I'm glad I could help Lord Zhao." Cheng Zhihuai said with a smile.
Li Qi stepped forward, bowed, and accepted the order, then said, "I didn't bring any tools with me when I came here. Could you allow me to go back to the Dali Temple and get some?"
He had originally followed Cheng Zhihuai to submit the case statement and autopsy report, so naturally he did not bring any tools.
Zhao Xiang smiled and agreed, "Of course. Please ask Coroner Li to go back quickly. As for the suspect's body..." He thought for a moment, "Let's wait for Coroner Li to come back and examine it together."
