Chapter 560: Capturing the Female Master
One of the shadow guards sneered,
"We finally caught you. This big fish is a huge achievement. We brothers can't let it go."
"How did you find out my identity?"
The woman blurted out in surprise.
The two shadow guards looked at each other.
Oh, it’s really a big fish.
The two of them were only sent by the prince to watch the back door of the county magistrate's mansion to prevent the county magistrate from escaping for fear of punishment.
Suddenly, a masked man in black came out.
As members of the secret service, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
How could there be such a mysterious person in the county magistrate's mansion? There must be a big secret.
Unexpectedly, he tricked the woman into confessing the truth with just a few words.
The other party really has a secret identity!
The two men now sandwiched the woman from both sides, with a wall behind her. She had no choice but to fight.
The woman swung her knife and rushed towards the shadow guard on the right.
The shadow guard on the right raised his knife to block, and the shadow guard on the left immediately chopped down.
The woman reacted very quickly, and her target had actually always been the one on the left.
She took advantage of the recoil from the block by the shadow guard on the right, and immediately pulled back, barely avoiding the attack from the shadow guard on the left, and then slashed the shadow guard on the left in the lower abdomen with a knife.
However, there was no expected sound of flesh being broken, but instead there was the sound of something scratching the iron chain.
Is it chain mail?!
The woman secretly said it was a pity, but at this moment she also nimbly ran out of the encirclement of the two people, and then quickly kicked the ground with her toes, and ran forward as fast as an arrow.
She knew she was no match for these two elite spies, so she had no choice but to run.
Seeing this, the two shadow guards immediately chased after him.
The woman ran a few steps, put away her knife, pulled out the dart from her waist, and threw it behind her.
When the two shadow guards saw her starting move, they knew she was going to use a hidden weapon. Before her darts could be thrown at them, they immediately jumped to the sides. Although they hit the wall, they also avoided the attack of the darts.
The woman sneered, her eyes smug. She knew that after this delay, the two shadow guards would never be able to catch up with her.
There was a stone pillar more than half a person's height on the roadside ahead. The woman ran over, pushed the stone pillar hard, and jumped onto the roof on the left.
As long as she could get onto the roof, she would be almost invisible in the dark and they wouldn't be able to see her.
However, just as her foot was about to step onto the roof, a loud bang suddenly came from the alley behind her.
Immediately afterwards, the woman felt a sharp pain in her calf, as if it was about to break.
The whole person fell downwards instantly, and with a bang, he landed heavily on the ground.
Two shadow guards immediately stepped forward, subdued the woman, and tied her hands behind her back.
"Run! You're quite a runner, aren't you? Run one for Grandpa to see."
The shadow guard sneered, squatted down, looked at her and said.
The woman gnashed her teeth, spat, and asked,
"What did you hit me with? If it was a hidden weapon, I should have heard a whistling sound breaking through the air. Why did you hit me first before I heard the sound? And why was it so fast?"
"Oh, you said this."
The shadow guard took the short-barreled musket, waved it in front of the woman, and said,
"It's called a gun, girl. Times have changed."
"Let's go, take him back and interrogate him."
The shadow guard casually pulled off the woman's socks and stuffed them into her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue to commit suicide.
The woman's eyes widened instantly, and she retched in disgust, trying to spit out the socks.
The shadow guard slapped her in the face and said,
"Behave yourself, or you won't know what big treasure is stuffed into your mouth next time."
"Woo!"
The woman gnashed her teeth in anger.
The shadow guard bandaged the wound on her leg to prevent her from dying from excessive blood loss, and then dragged her outside.
As soon as I got out of the alley, I ran into two other shadow guards.
"Yo, aren't you guys watching the front door anymore?"
"The county magistrate has left. Apparently, he's going to the palace to apologize. No need to keep an eye on him. What are you holding?"
The woman was whimpering and screaming, and it seemed that she was cursing quite dirty.
"Ah, I just caught an assassin. I don't know who he wants to kill, or if he's trying to gather intelligence. Anyway, I'll just capture him and give him a thorough trial."
Hearing this, the shadow guard guarding the front door looked down and said,
"Hey, she's quite pretty. Come on, let me interrogate her too. I'm best at interrogating female assassins."
"Hahahaha, I knew you had no good intentions."
"Of course you should. Look at your pussy, your butt is so perky. It would be a waste if you don't use it. Come on, come on."
The four men laughed and pulled the female assassin towards the palace.
On the other side, County Magistrate Yu Shanglin had already arrived at the gate of the palace. After getting off the car, he knocked on the door repeatedly.
A moment later, the door creaked open and a doorman came out.
Yu Shanglin did not dare to offend the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, so he quickly clasped his hands and bowed,
"Please inform His Majesty that Yu Shanglin, the governor of Xuzhou County, requests an audience."
"Oh, it's Yu Junshou. Please come in."
The gatekeeper bowed quickly and invited the governor in.
"Ah? Don't you need to report it?"
"No, no, we are all family, please come in."
"Good good."
Yu Shanglin followed the doorman into the palace, walked all the way inside, bypassed the main hall, and came to a brightly lit room at the back.
"Is this the study? The prince hasn't slept yet?"
Yu Shanglin said in surprise.
The doorman said nothing. After opening the door, he took the county magistrate in.
The county magistrate originally thought that Lanling Wang would be inside, but unexpectedly there was no one there.
"This...where is the prince?"
The county magistrate asked with wide eyes.
"My lord, the prince has fallen asleep."
Hearing this, the county governor was furious and shouted,
"The prince is already asleep. Why didn't you tell me why you brought me here alone? Could it be that you want to murder me?"
The concierge laughed and said,
"No, no, how dare I, a commoner, murder an official of the imperial court? This is the will of the prince. The prince said, tonight, sir, please do not sleep. There is pen, ink, paper and inkstone in this room. Please write down all the illegal deeds you have committed in detail. He will check it tomorrow morning.
I am here to serve you and grind for you.
My Lord, please clear it up."
After the doorman finished speaking, he smiled and added water to the inkstone, picked up the ink stick and began to grind it.
The county magistrate felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and collapsed into his chair in disbelief.
He thought of countless possibilities, but this was the only one he hadn't thought of.
The prince actually wanted him to surrender.
There was no interrogation, no torture, only a small room where he could write down his own crimes.
What he writes specifically is entirely up to him.
But he didn't know what the prince wanted to see and what the prince had mastered.
