Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 122 The murderer behind the scenes

Tianquan saw it clearly before.

The sword that Yun Fuling hit was so powerful that the injury must be serious.

Seeing that Yun Fuling's clothes on her chest were stained with blood, Tianquan's heart tightened even more.

"Madam Yun...you..."

Tian Quan was panicked for a moment, and he wanted to check Yun Fuling's injuries.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he realized that Yun Fuling's wound was on the chest. How could a man like him go to see her?

Moreover, Yun Fuling is not like Yaoguang. She trained with them, so they would not be too shy about getting injured in their arms and legs.

But Madam Yun is different.

This is their mistress, how could they offend her?

Yun Fuling waved her hand and said, "I have already taken medicine. The injury only looks serious. It is not that serious."

Tianquan saw that Yun Fuling was still full of energy, and it seemed that the situation was not serious.

Yun Fuling added: "Go help Yaoguang, and make sure to capture the killer alive!"

Of the four killers, three are already dead. If we want to find out who hired the murderer, we can only start with the only living one.

Tianquan responded and immediately went over with his sword in hand.

The only killer still alive saw that all his companions were dead. If he continued to fight, he would not be able to complete the mission and might even lose his own life.

The most important thing right now is to save your life, and then find a way to complete the task.

His mind raced, and his sword moves suddenly changed, trying to withdraw and escape.

If it was only Yaoguang alone, she might have been able to escape, but at the critical moment, Tianquan arrived in time and blocked his way.

Tian Quan winked at Yao Guang and said, "Catch him alive!"

Yaoguang nodded and cooperated with Tianquan.

The fighting was going on here fiercely when a team of imperial guards suddenly rushed over.

There were about forty or fifty people coming, led by a captain named Sun.

This Captain Sun had met Yun Fuling before.

He was patrolling nearby with his men, and when he heard some noise from afar, he brought his men over to take a look.

Who knew that when he came over, he saw Yun Fuling, three corpses on the ground, and the thief who was fighting with Tianquan Yaoguang.

He immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Madam Yun."

"Captain Sun." Yun Fuling nodded slightly at him and said, "We were returning from the city, but we didn't expect to encounter an assassin on the road who wanted to take my life!"

Captain Sun was horrified, for he knew how much His Royal Highness Prince Yi valued Yun Fuling.

He even delayed returning to the capital because of her and moved to a remote place like Shuanglin Village.

If anything happened to Yun Fuling, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Captain Sun immediately waved his hand to his men, "Go and capture the thief!"

A group of imperial guards immediately surrounded the killer.

The killer had no way to escape and was finally captured alive by Tianquan and Yaoguang.

Yun Fuling looked at the assassins brought by Tianquan and Yaoguang, and said coldly: "I know you are assassins from the Night Owl Pavilion. Your companions are all dead. I can give you a chance to live. Tell me who hired the assassin, and I will let you go!"

The killer flatly refused: "Impossible, according to the rules of the Night Owl Pavilion, the identity of the employer must be kept secret!"

Yun Fuling raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Are rules more important than your life?"

The killer pursed his lips, and although he was a little tempted, he still said: "If I reveal the secret, even if I survive from your hands today, the Night Owl Pavilion will not let me go!"

Thinking that he would die anyway, the killer raised his neck and said resolutely: "Kill me!"

Tian Quan stepped forward and said, "Why not hand this man over to me? I will torture him severely and make him talk!"

Yun Fuling waved her hand, "Why bother?"

After saying that, she took out a pill from her sleeve, pinched the killer's chin, and fed the pill to him.

As soon as the pill entered the mouth, it seemed to turn into a ball of liquid and slide down the throat.

The killer wanted to struggle and take out the pill, but he was held down by someone and couldn't move at all.

After a while, Yun Fuling signaled to let him go.

The killer looked at Yun Fuling and asked, "What did you give me to eat? Poison?"

Yun Fuling smiled and said, "It's a good thing that allows you to tell everything you know!"

After saying that, Yun Fuling straightened her clothes, turned around and sat on the cart without a canopy, and leisurely examined the things on the carriage.

In this fight, most of the things on the carriage were destroyed and there was not much left.

Amid the miserable cries, Yun Fuling counted the things in the carriage and then walked back to the killer.

The killer looked at Yun Fuling, his eyes full of pleading: "Kill... Kill me!"

All the bones and flesh in his body seemed to be crushed back and forth inch by inch, causing him excruciating pain.

He had never felt such pain before. He could neither live nor die!

He couldn't stand the pain and found that he wanted to commit suicide but couldn't.

Yun Fuling squatted beside him and said, "Tell me, who asked you to kill me?"

The killer's lips trembled, but he clenched his teeth tightly and refused to speak.

Yun Fuling was not in a hurry, she had plenty of patience.

"You just have to say it, and you don't have to suffer like this anymore."

"This is just the beginning, it will be even more painful later."

"Are you sure you would rather endure pain ten or a hundred times more than you are now than tell me who that person is?"

The miserable screams kept echoing in the air.

Not to mention the imperial guards, even Tianquan and Yaoguang felt a little frightened.

The killer finally couldn't bear the heart-wrenching pain.

“It’s… it’s Yun Lingzhi!”

"The one who came to Yexiao Pavilion to place an order is Yun Lingzhi, the eldest daughter of the Jichun Marquis Mansion!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Yun Fuling's eyes.

She had already guessed it in her heart and thought that it was Yun Gansong who did it, but she didn't expect it to be Yun Lingzhi.

However, this father and daughter are of the same ilk, so it makes no difference whether it's Yun Lingzhi or Yun Gansong.

"How do you know it's Yun Ganoderma?" Yun Fuling asked.

"Although we at Night Owl Pavilion are engaged in the assassin business, we don't just accept any order."

"We don't ask the employer's identity, but as long as they pay enough money, we will accept the order."

"But we will investigate it privately to avoid touching someone who cannot be touched and causing trouble."

Yun Fuling nodded and said, "I see."

"How much money did she give you to kill me?"

The killer replied: "One thousand taels!"

Yun Fuling clicked her tongue twice and said, "They have taken over the Marquis's estate and my mother's dowry. Jishidiang has made a lot of money for them over the years. Why are they so stingy?"

"Only one thousand taels!"

"Do you think my life is only worth one thousand taels?"

She tilted her head to look at the killer and sighed, "If only you had told the truth from the beginning, you wouldn't have to suffer so much."

"I haven't yet found an antidote for the pill I gave you."

"What a pity!"
