Chapter 44 Give You a Chance
Huangfu Chou saw this and said to Xie Xunfeng, "How do you know they will come?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Chou, "Because, all of this was planned by me!"
As soon as Xie Xunfeng finished speaking, the assassin said in a cold voice, "Humph. We knew that you were prepared! Today, come here and either hand over the evidence or give up your life!"
After hearing the assassin's words, Xie Xunfeng laughed and said, "Come on, I'll sit over here."
After saying that, Xie Xunfeng acted as if nothing had happened and served more mutton.
The leading assassin chuckled and said, "Hmph, Xie Hanzi, since we dare to come here, we must be fully confident... It seems that you are unwilling to cooperate... Then I will send you to hell."
As he spoke, the assassin drew his knife and attacked the jailer beside him...
Twenty assassins, facing nearly sixty jailers, did not lose the upper hand at all. Instead, they seemed to have the upper hand.
Judging from their skills, they are indeed masters among ordinary people.
"Tell your men to retreat quickly. If the fighting continues, I'm afraid we will all be killed here!" Xie Xunfeng said calmly.
Huangfu Chou looked unhappy and said to Xie Xunfeng, "If you want to retreat, you should retreat first... These people are professional assassins..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Chou, "They are the ones I am waiting for. Why would I run away?"
After Xie Xunfeng finished speaking, he slammed the table and stood up, and two small knives appeared in his hands.
Then he rushed towards the assassins.
Xie Xunfeng's movements were so fast that I couldn't see his movements clearly.
The assassins lost their ability to move and fell to the ground.
In less than a minute, the jailers who were still passively defending stood there in a daze .
Looking at the assassin lying on the ground motionless.
He took another look and saw Xie Xunfeng who had already gone back to eat hotpot.
They widened their eyes and looked at Xie Xunfeng in disbelief.
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Chou, "You can take the person away now. I won't be needed to interrogate him."
Huangfu Chou's eyes changed when he looked at Xie Xunfeng and he nodded.
They stopped eating hotpot and just called the jailers to take the person away.
After walking a few steps, Huangfu Chou suddenly remembered something and said to Xie Xunfeng, "What did you do to them? Why didn't you commit suicide by taking poison this time?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Chou, "I attacked their acupuncture points and they will temporarily lose control of their bodies...
”
As he spoke, Xie Xunfeng took out a small porcelain bottle and gave it to Huangfu Chou.
Huangfu Chou looked at Xie Xunfeng in confusion and said, "This is..."
"This is the antidote. After feeding it to them, even if they regain control of their bodies, they won't be able to commit suicide..."
Huangfu Chou looked at Xie Xunfeng with a deeper gaze, and said to Xie Xunfeng, "Tomorrow, the interrogation will definitely have a result!"
Xie Xunfeng said to Huangfu Chou, "Huangfu Ling, I have something to ask of you!"
Huangfu Chou looked at Xie Xunfeng and said, "Do you want me to take the credit for this?"
Xie Xunfeng smiled and said to Huangfu Chou, "It's easy to talk to smart people. Are you willing?"
"Give me a reason." Huangfu Chou asked Xie Xunfeng.
Xie Xunfeng said, "I just want to survive..."
Huangfu Chou glanced at Xie Xunfeng and said nothing.
…
The next day, inside the Golden Palace.
Xiao Shentian sat in the center of the hall, accepting the kneeling worship of all the civil and military officials in the court.
After the ceremony, Huangfu Chou was the first to come out. He then bowed and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the assassination case that you personally ordered me to investigate has come to a conclusion. The assassination was planned by the third son of the Yuan family. Now we have both witnesses and evidence! We have arrested the third son of the Yuan family, and he has no objection to this and has confessed all his crimes!"
After listening to Huangfu Chou's words, Xie Xunfeng was full of surprise.
There must be something wrong here.
Subconsciously, he looked at Wu Guozhang who was standing beside him.
I saw a faint smile on Wu Guozhang's face.
Something must have gone wrong last night.
After listening to this, Xiao Shentian showed a serious look on his face, and did not even raise the slightest doubt, allowing Huangfu Chou to hastily close the case.
It is obvious that this is an attempt to calm the matter down.
Xie Xunfeng looked at Xiao Shentian's reaction and guessed that perhaps the assassination case was too far-reaching...
It has reached a point where even the emperor has to back off.
However, Xiao Shentian did not care about the outcome of the assassination.
He just needs Xiao Shentian's approval, and this result will be fine.
"Your Majesty, since the assassination case has been solved, and it didn't even take a week. Now, can you cancel the engagement for me?" Seeing this, Xie Xunfeng hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Since I have already promised you, and you have helped Huangfu Chou solve this assassination case, I will cancel your engagement with the princess!"
After Xiao Shentian finished speaking, he looked at Wu Guozhang.
"Wu Guozhang, do you have any objections?"
Wu Guozhang shook his head repeatedly and said, "Since Your Majesty promised to thank the hostage, there is naturally no reason to regret it now."
"Okay, from now on, the Princess and Xie Zhizi will no longer have an engagement. You can choose another good spouse!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie Xunfeng bowed to Xiao Shentian and then stepped aside.
The morning court sessions that followed were all about irrelevant things.
He announced his withdrawal from court.
Everyone dispersed. When Huangfu Chou was at the door, he stopped Xie Xunfeng and said, "Xie Jizi, wait a moment..."
Xie Xunfeng asked Huangfu Chou, "Huangfu Ling...what's the matter?"
"Xie Jizi, you have been the one pushing this case forward from the very beginning. Aren't you surprised by today's result?" Huangfu Chou asked.
Xie Xunfeng said, "Your Majesty has already acknowledged it, why should I be surprised?"
Huangfu Chou looked at Xie Xunfeng deeply, and then said, "Your Majesty is waiting for us..."
Xie Xunfeng glanced at Huangfu Chou, then nodded and followed.
Then they arrived at the emperor's bedroom.
Xiao Shentian glanced at the two of them, then said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xie Jizi, don't you have anything to ask?"
Xie Xunfeng glanced at Xiao Shentian and smiled innocently.
Xiao Shentian said to Xie Xunfeng with a serious face, "Xie Zhizi, haven't you always wanted to marry the third princess? I'm giving you a chance now! As long as you help me do this, you will be the son-in-law of the third princess of Daxia!"
