Chapter 108: Encountering a big wolfdog at night, interrogating Wei Fangxiong

Jiang Ning gave him the drug at half past the hour of You, but something went wrong, so she didn’t leave until almost the hour of Hai.

Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, and the moon in the sky is already very round, illuminating the world.

Jiang Ning couldn’t stop smiling when she thought of what happened just now. She liked the infatuated look on Liu Ming’an’s face when he leaned over to kiss her. She liked the look of love on that handsome face because of her, the sweat oozing from his forehead, and the low panting that couldn’t be suppressed...

Jiang Ning knew that she was getting deeper and deeper. The word love was really wonderful.

She put on her veil and walked out briskly. After entering the space, Jiang Ning walked towards Wei Fangxiong’s house.

Go quickly and come back quickly, Jiang Ning told herself, Liu Mingan will definitely wait for her.

After successfully climbing over the wall and entering Wei Fangxiong's yard, Jiang Ning had not had time to stand firmly when she suddenly saw a few strange green lights flashing in the dark woods next to her.

What was that?

Jiang Ning knew the answer in the next second.

"Woof woof woof!"

Two big wolfhounds rushed towards Jiang Ning, barking wildly, with fierce eyes and white teeth bared in their black mouths, looking like they wanted to tear her, the uninvited guest, to pieces.

Jiang Ning's eyes froze, and the dagger in the space was in her hand in an instant.

The two dogs must have been trained. They rushed over from the left and right in a flanking manner. With a weight of nearly 100 kilograms and such a fast speed, even a strong adult man would be knocked to the ground by the huge impact.

Jiang Ning made a prompt decision, leaned to the right, raised his foot and kicked the head of the dog on the left. At the same time, he held the dagger in his right hand horizontally and stabbed it diagonally upward into the neck of the other dog.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

The sound of the dog hitting the ground came, and the scream of the other dog followed closely.

Jiang Ning pulled out the dagger, and the wounded dog lay on the ground wailing. The dog that was kicked away struggled on the ground for a few seconds and then climbed up again, barking "Woof woof woof", intending to rush towards her.

But Jiang Ning was not prepared to tangle with it anymore, and she flashed into the space.

Originally, she didn't know Wei Fangxiong, and she was not familiar with this big house. According to the plan, she was going to search the room by room.

But the appearance of these two dogs saved trouble.

These two big wolfhounds must have been brought in to guard the house. After making such a big fuss just now, they would definitely attract people out.

Sure enough, after a while, several people dressed as servants ran out and saw a dog lying on the ground dying, and another dog barking on the spot. The servants noticed something was wrong, and one of them immediately ran to another place, shouting "I'll go call the master".

Jiang Ning waited patiently, and within a few minutes, several people surrounded an old man and hurried over here.

Blind Yang said that Wei Fangxiong was his elder brother, and Blind Yang himself looked to be in his fifties, so the old man in front of him was Wei Fangxiong as expected.

"Master, it seems someone has come in."

Seeing Wei Fangxiong, a servant came up and pointed at the dog panting on the ground.

The servant holding the lantern came forward and shone the light on the dog. The blood on its neck was clearly visible, and the gray fur had turned dark.

The other dog was still barking around. Wei Fangxiong frowned and asked, "Did you see anyone?"

Several people shook their heads. They said that was what happened when they came here.

Wei Fangxiong looked suspicious. He took the lantern and carefully checked the blood on the ground. He found that the blood had only dripped on this spot, and his brows wrinkled even more.

"You guys, don't sleep tonight, stay outside the yard."

After a moment, Wei Fangxiong stood up and gave a stern order to the servants, then he went somewhere alone with a lamp in his hand.

Jiang Ning hurriedly followed him in the space.

Being alone is the best!

Wei Fangxiong walked into the yard and went into a room that seemed to have been vacant for a long time.

Jiang Ning followed closely, and found that the room was filled with wooden boxes after entering.

Wei Fangxiong walked straight to one of them, opened the lid with a "click", and the golden light shone brightly under the candlelight.

It was a golden lace coat!

Jiang Ning suddenly remembered that Blind Yang had said that Wei Fangxiong and he would resell some shady things. She wondered which nobleman's grave this golden lace garment was dug out from.

But it didn't matter anymore. Jiang Ning flashed out of the space, and the bloody dagger instantly pressed against Wei Fangxiong's neck.

When the bloody and cold blade touched his skin, Wei Fangxiong's pupils shrank suddenly. He wanted to turn around in disbelief to see who was coming, but heard a warning.

"Don't move, or this golden lace garment will become your shroud of death."

This room was some distance away from the yard, and no one would hear Wei Fangxiong even if he shouted, so Jiang Ning chose to follow him into the house.

Wei Fangxiong swallowed his saliva, not daring to move at all, and asked the person behind him with a trembling voice: "Who asked you to steal the golden embroidered coat? Was it Wang Ping? How much money did he give you? I can give you double, no, triple -"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Jiang Ning interrupted the old man coldly. Who wants the dead man's things, especially the things of unknown origin and shady, which is unlucky!

"I'll ask you a few questions, you answer me honestly, if you dare to lie..."

"Don't dare! I will answer whatever you ask, and I promise to tell you everything I know!"

Jiang Ning's threatening words were not finished yet, and Wei Fangxiong spoke up quickly.

"You are quite sensible!"

Jiang Ning chuckled, worthy of being the elder brother of Blind Yang, and he knows more about current affairs than him.

"Should, should, ask whatever you want..." Wei Fangxiong continued tremblingly.

In this case, Jiang Ning did not want to waste time, so she spoke directly: "In early July last year, Yang Xiazi from Qushui City came to Beijing to find you. You gave him a woman with broken hands and feet and a rotten face, and asked him to sell her. You also specifically told him to keep the woman alive and sell her far away from Beijing. You should not have forgotten this, right?"

Wei Fangxiong was stunned, until Jiang Ning asked calmly, "Do you want to die?", then he came to his senses and replied, "No, no, I remember it."

"Do you know that woman?"

"No."

"Did you injure her?"

"No, she looked like that when I saw her."

Jiang Ning said in her heart, "As expected." Everything was just as she guessed. This Wei Fangxiong was just a human trafficker. He knew nothing about Nangong Ling's identity.

"Then who handed her to you?" Jiang Ning asked the most crucial question.

Wei Fangxiong hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "It was the butler Ma of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"The butler Ma of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Jiang Ning repeated faintly.

"Yes, yes, yes. He was the one who had someone take me to a house in the suburbs of Beijing and handed the woman to me. The woman was half dead at the time, with only one breath left. He asked me to sell her, and told me to sell her far away, preferably to a small village. I couldn't let her die..."

"You just listen to him? You do whatever he tells you to do?" Jiang Ning's voice was frighteningly cold.

"I, I, I have no choice. He threatened me. He said that if I didn't do it, he would report me to the government for selling funerary objects privately. I will be imprisoned in Daliang. I was forced to do it..."

Wei Fangxiong sighed when he said this. He should have known that this matter was not simple. Now he has a knife to his neck. It's really unlucky. There are so many merchants in the capital, why did Butler Ma choose him? Alas!

"Where is that house?" Jiang Ning asked again.

"I don't know, I really don't know. I was blindfolded when I went in and out, but I am definitely not in the city, because the carriage has been traveling for more than two hours, and the second half of the road is very bumpy. It can't be in the city." Wei Fangxiong said firmly.

“Is there any other information?”

“Something else…something else…”

Wei Fangxiong tried hard to recall. Just when Jiang Ning gave up hope and was about to knock him out and leave, he sighed, “Butler Ma wanted to force a mute drug into that woman’s mouth, but she was unconscious and her teeth were clenched so the drug couldn’t be fed into her. So he gave the drug to me and asked me to take it back. But I lost the drug. I wanted to buy more at the drugstore, but I saw that the woman didn’t say a word even after waking up, and I was so busy that I forgot about it. I didn’t remember it until I handed her over to Blind Yang…” Cut

off her limbs!

Disfigured!

Poisoned and mute!

And then sold to a place far away from the capital!

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but be shocked. Who on earth hated Nangong Ling so much? She was forced to live in a state of despair, and even had to bear the charge of eloping.

Jiang Ning didn't know anything else for the time being, but she was sure that the enemy was definitely not Butler Ma!

No matter how bold a butler was, he would not be so bold as to torture the daughter of the Prime Minister. Even if Nangong Ling was born out of wedlock, even if Nangong Ling was not favored

, she was still his master! Butler Ma was nothing more than a knife. Jiang Ning's real enemy was the man holding the knife!

"That's all. I really can't remember anything else. You see..." Wei Fangxiong smiled stiffly, waiting for his fate.

"Well, I've asked everything I wanted to ask." Jiang Ning said casually.

Wei Fangxiong smiled flatteringly and said, "Can you put the knife away? The blade is sharp and can easily hurt people..."

As he spoke, Wei Fangxiong tentatively raised his hand to push the dagger away.

"Don't move, the blade is sharp and can easily hurt people..."

The warning whisper was right beside his ear, and the knife on his neck came closer. Wei Fangxiong was so scared that he quickly raised his hand to beg for mercy: "I won't move! I won't move!"

"Since Butler Ma can find you, you should be able to contact him, right?"

"Yes! He likes to play with jade. I once sold him a jade cicada. He told me that I can find him when I have good stuff." Wei Fangxiong did not dare to hesitate.

"Well, you tomorrow--" Jiang Ning paused, thinking that tomorrow was the Lantern Festival. The good night and festival should not be missed, and it is time to be with the one you love.

So Jiang Ning changed her words and said, "Call him out the day after tomorrow, and have him come to your house at twilight hour, and stay for an hour before leaving."

Wei Fangxiong seemed to understand the meaning of these words, and swallowed hard, with a layer of cold sweat on his back.

"If he doesn't come, you will die, do you understand?"

"I understand!"

The knife on his neck was finally removed, but Wei Fangxiong still dared not move, and stood there stiffly.

"Speaking of which, I should say thank you." Jiang Ning said somewhat self-deprecatingly, thanks to this Wei Fangxiong, she was not poisoned.

"What--"

Wei Fangxiong was puzzled, and wanted to ask a question subconsciously, but suddenly there was a pain in the back of his neck, and the next moment, the whole person fainted, and from beginning to end he did not see a corner of the person behind him.

Jiang Ning looked at the man lying on the ground, squatted down, used Wei Fangxiong's clothes to wipe the blood off the dagger, and then took advantage of the space to swagger through the servants, walked to the wall, climbed over the wall and left.
