He looked at Ning Yao in shock and saw that there was no trace of blood on her body. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of him. Before he could escape, the woman in front of him grabbed her by the neck and was unable to move.

"Nvxia, have mercy on me, Nvxia, have mercy on me!" He begged for mercy again and again, took out Ning Yao's money bag from his sleeve, and handed it to Ning Yao with all his strength, "I say, I will say anything."

Hearing this, Ning Yao stopped his hand, took out his handkerchief and wiped his hand, and said in a calm tone, "Let's talk."

"The people above said that if anyone inquires about Mo Dadao, they will be eliminated." The man knelt on the ground and covered his neck, gasping for breath, "Mo Dadao's information has also been destroyed."

"Write from memory." Ning Yao continued to wipe her hands and ignored him, "If you don't have the ability to remember everything, how did you get to this position?"

The prepared excuse was revealed, and the man was stunned for a moment, "No, they will kill me, no..."

"It's okay if you don't say it. Let me ask you another question." Ning Yao took out a piece of paper and opened it in front of the man. On it was the pattern she had drawn before. "Have you ever seen this pattern?"

The man glanced at the pattern, and with just one glance, he felt as if he had seen a ghost, and the color drained from his face, "You said you want information about Mo Dadao? What are you asking?"

Seeing his look, Ning Yao knew that he had seen that pattern before. But looking at his expression and seeing that he was willing to answer the question about Mo Dadao, Ning Yao knew that he would rather tell the information about Mo Dadao than anything else.

He is willing to reveal even half of the things about that pattern, which shows that the user of this pattern must be a very powerful person.

Ning Yao didn't bother to expose his life-saving method and asked him the most important question at the moment.

"Who hired Mo Dadao to kill Yang Zhen?"

"Yang Zhen... you... you are Ning Yao!" the man said in shock, obviously not expecting her to find this place so quickly.

"good."

"I can tell you, but you have to protect my life."

"Don't worry, the spies monitoring you have been dealt with by my secret guards. As long as you tell me, I can let you go."

"He's an official from the Provincial Tiantang Treasury, what a blessing!"

"evidence?"

"In order to prevent people from the government from deliberately luring us into taking the bait, we have regulations that require all employers to leave something personal as proof." The man regained his breath and spoke faster, "The things He Yu left behind,

In the dark pavilion."

Ning Yao still didn't move and signaled the man to get it. The man struggled to stand up and walked into a side room. After arriving at the Baibao Pavilion, he took out a brocade box, opened it and handed it to Ning Yao. There was only

There is an official seal, signed with the character He Yu, and a bill.

Ning Yao took the item and confirmed its authenticity, then turned around and walked a few steps when the person behind him came at him with a dagger. Ning Yao calmly stabbed out the soft sword in his sleeve. The person fell to the ground in response.

Blood slowly flowed out from his neck.

After ordering the secret guards to take care of the body, Ning Yao left the gambling house. Cai Ming and others waited for a long time and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ning Yao coming out.

"Let's go."

"General, did you find a clue?" Wang Youzhong was a little confused.

Ning Yao didn't answer, and put his hand back: "Take me to see He Yu."

After hearing this, Wang Youzhong stopped talking, lowered his head and followed the others to lead Ning Yao to He Yu's residence.

Cai Ming and others were about to leave for He Yu's house when they saw a black shadow flash past. They couldn't help but look over. It was Ning Yao's secret guard who had found out something and was reporting to her. After the report was finished, he gave her something.

, and then the man disappeared in the blink of an eye. I don’t know what news Ning Yao heard. She just lowered her eyes to cover the emotions in her eyes, then got on her horse and took them to He Yu’s mansion.

Wang Youzhong knocked on the door of He's house quite consciously, and a calm voice came from inside saying that the door was unlocked. Hearing this, Wang Youzhong opened the door and saw He Yu sitting calmly in the courtyard.

He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, sitting quietly in the courtyard making tea. He was not surprised to see Ning Yao and others, he was still as gentle and polite as usual.

"General Zhennan, you're polite." He Yu poured out the boiled tea, picked up the tea bowl, nodded towards Ning Yao, and drank the tea in one gulp.

"You knew I would come, and you took the lead in dismissing the people in the house." Ning Yao lifted up his clothes and knelt down in front of him, picked up another cup of tea, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, the tea smell was just right, "Why don't I see you?"

lady?"

"Why, didn't the general just come here not long ago? Now he's here again just to say a few words?" He Yu chuckled and poured out some more tea to fill up for himself and Ning Yao.

Seeing him like this, Ning Yao didn't intend to mess around with him anymore, and said directly: "Did you hire Mo Da Dao?"

"I don't know what the general said."

"Mo Dadao was already dead before killing Yang Zhen, why did you hire him to kill Yang Zhen?" Ning Yao looked at He Yu, with some doubts flashing in his eyes, "Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li

,Gen, against eight levels, Mo Dadao was Mengyou's Xun-level killer, but he was still killed by someone. The person who ordered to kill him was either an acquaintance of his, or a killer above Xun-level. It's not enough for you.

Let Mengyou send such a master."

"Who gave it to you?"

"Also, that man can easily kill even Mo Dadao. Killing Yang Zhen is not a problem at all. Why did you ask Yang Zhen to meet him at Dayun Jing Temple and then took him to your house before letting that person

Are people taking action in your own house?"

"There is no basis for what you say, does General have any evidence?"

"If I wasn't completely sure, I wouldn't come." As he said that, Ning Yao took the things he got from the gambling house and put them in front of He Yu, "This is the evidence you want, enough to prove

Yang Zhen was killed by you."

He Yu looked at what Ning Yao had taken out, and the hand holding the tea paused slightly. Then he continued to pick up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, "There is no reason. After all, you have to see it with your own eyes to feel at ease."

When he said this, his tone was calm, surprisingly indifferent, as if it was nothing to do with him, and it was shocking.

"Who gave it to you?"

Hearing this, He Yu stopped playing with the tea bowl, placed the tea bowl on the table, looked at Ning Yao for a long time, and finally raised his eyebrows.

"General, stop here. It's not good for you to know too much."

"Assassinating an envoy of a country is punishable by death. You are not someone willing to take such a risk." Ning Yao turned to look at the swing under the tree on the side, "You are doing all this for your wife who is about to give birth, right?

"

Hearing this, He Yu paused while serving tea and raised his eyes to look at Ning Yao. His usually plain eyes were suddenly filled with chill, and even his tone became colder.

"What do you want to do to Shu'er?"

"What do I want to do? Why, didn't the person who forced you to do this tell you?" Ning Yao raised his eyebrows, "You sent her away today to keep her safe, right? But you didn't do anything.

Tell her that she jumped out of the carriage in order to see you, and the rider behind didn't pay attention, and the horse's hoof stepped on her belly, and she couldn't be saved, leaving one dead and two dead."

Hearing this, He Yu stayed there, motionless. Ning Yao took out an earring from his arms. After Cai Ming looked at it, he immediately took out the handkerchief from his arms, picked up the earring and handed it to

In front of Ning Yao.

They were two identical jade earrings. They were of an old style and made of the cheapest material, but they were carefully maintained and glowed faintly in the sunlight.

"I felt a little strange when I saw your wife before. The piercings in her ears were obvious, but she didn't wear earrings. Not long ago, my secret guard found this earring on her body, and the other one was in Yang Zhen's house.

They were found under the wooden board inside." Ning Yao put the earrings in his hand together with the earrings handed over by He Yu to form a pair, and finally put them together with the handkerchief in front of He Yu, "This is your wife

Yes, she really likes these earrings."

"You are right." He Yu's tone was a little tired, "This pair of earrings was a token of love that I gave to Shu'er. I was just a poor scholar at that time. These pair of earrings were left to me by my mother as a relic.

, let me give it to my future wife."

Speaking of this, He Yu's eyes were full of tenderness. He gently picked up the pair of earrings, looked at them and put them into his arms. "These earrings became loose a few days ago. I sent them to be repaired. I just picked them up yesterday."

When I came back, I received the mission. After I took care of everything, I realized that one of the earrings was missing and I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked for it. So, it turned out that Yang Zhen had taken it away."

"In order to confuse the public, you specifically asked the Xun-level killer to seriously injure Yang Zhen at your place before letting him take Yang Zhen back to the room in the post house. You calculated the right time before letting him kill the person. If this were not the case.

, Yang Zhen will not leave this clue." Ning Yao took out a piece of paper from his arms and placed it in front of He Yu. What was drawn on it was the description of the unknown pattern painted on the wooden board, "

Have you ever seen this pattern?"

He Yu looked at the pattern description, and his eyes were filled with shock at just one glance. Then he stared at Ning Yao for a long time, and after figuring out what was going on, he smiled calmly and moved his eyes away from Ning Yao's face.

He opened it and landed on the pattern, his tone full of relief and calmness.

"It's you, it turns out you're still alive." He Yu looked at the confusion on everyone's faces, but there was some compassion on his face, "You are all idiots, you are all idiots! Ning Yao, are you very...

Want to know what this pattern is? If I don’t tell you, what can you do?”

He Yu suddenly stood up, took out a hairpin from his arms, and stabbed Ning Yao hard. Just when he was about to be stabbed by the hairpin, Ning Yao ducked sideways and raised his hand to grab it.

After hearing what he said in his ear, He Yu turned around to look at him in surprise, but he seemed to be crazy, even his tone was a little crazy.

"Why do you think Shu'er died? Ning Yao, Ning Yao! You don't deserve to die!"

"I am a dead person." As he spoke, Ning Yao suddenly stood up, reached out and pinched He Yu's neck, lifted him up, and looked sideways at him, "Who gave it to you? In fact, you

Even if you don’t tell me, I will find out sooner or later, but since you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to keep this voice.”

After saying that, Ning Yao narrowed his eyes and flashed a trace of cruelty. Cai Ming seemed to have sensed something. Before he could say anything to stop him, he only saw a cold light flashing by. He Yu covered his mouth with a look of pain on his face.

On the ground, blood flowed all over the ground.

Boss Yang hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation. After a while, he turned around and glanced at Ning Yao's back in shock. Finally, he spoke with difficulty, "It's okay, it's just...his tongue is gone..."

Suddenly, everyone broke into a cold sweat, but Ning Yao wiped off the bloody hidden sword as if nothing had happened, straightened his slightly messy clothes, and then said lightly: "Let's go."

The death of the messenger came to an end. Ning Yao and Cai Ming entered the palace and presented the case and evidence truthfully. The emperor was furious and immediately ordered people to remove He Yu from his official position and put him in a prison. The emperor originally wanted to reward him.

Ning Yao, Ning Yao refused the reward and asked for power from the emperor, which shocked Cai Ming.

For a time, the case became a must-tell story for storytellers. He Yu hired a murderer and later silenced him. When the incident was exposed, he was sentenced to death at a later date. Such bloody and cruel things happen to be what the people like to hear, and the guests like it.
