The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 160 Niu Biao's Confession

Yan Xiuyuan was obviously relieved: "It's good that you're not injured!"

At this time, a yamen runner came to report: "Sir, these assassins are soldiers in the barracks."

Yan Xiuyuan's expression suddenly changed: "Soldier?"

Regardless of whether they were dead or alive, they were all brought to the government office. Yan Xiuyuan personally interrogated them.

In broad daylight, blatantly assassinating the daughter of the mansion lord on the street, isn't this like tearing his face off and throwing it on the ground and stepping on it?

But the result of the interrogation disappointed Yan Xiuyuan. Except for Niu Biao, these soldiers who had a good relationship with Niu Biao and secretly ran out to help him, had no idea that the person Niu Biao wanted to kill was the daughter of the mansion owner. Niu Biao told them that he wanted to teach a bad woman who cheated on her marriage a lesson. But when Niu Biao shouted "Whoever kills her will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver", they realized that Niu Biao wanted not only a lesson, but also a life. But it was too late to quit at this time.

Niu Biao insisted that Jian Yue caused him to lose his official position, so he wanted to take revenge on Jian Yue. Even if he was severely punished, he would not give in.

Yan Xiuyuan asked someone to notify Shen Pengfei, the lieutenant general of the military defense camp.

Shen Pengfei came immediately.

If Yan Xiuyuan, as the head of the mansion, reports him for such a mistake, he will be in big trouble.

Soldiers are soldiers who protect Yanling Prefecture, not knives in the hands of others, nor are they thugs for people with bad intentions. Such a big mess has happened, and as a lieutenant general, he actually knew nothing about it. This is his biggest dereliction of duty.

Shen Pengfei brought a generous gift to calm Jian Yue. He and Yan Xiuyuan belonged to different departments. Yan Xiuyuan had to ask him for help in fighting crime, eliminating bandits, and maintaining public order. Now, he was humble and spoke nice words to Yan Xiuyuan, apologizing, hoping that the matter would be settled privately.

Yes, it can be settled privately.

As long as Yan Xiuyuan suppressed this matter and killed those who committed the crime, he would naturally have a way to deal with the quota of these soldiers. Not to mention a dozen people, even if there were hundreds, he would have various reasons for their disappearance.

There are always deaths in the army every year. There are countless soldiers who died in the line of duty.

Jian Yue didn't care what to do with those accomplice soldiers. She only asked to personally interrogate Niu Biao once.

During the interrogation, Yan Xiuyuan, Jian Yue and Yun Zhonghe were present.

Niu Biao started to curse at Jian Yue when he saw her. Yan Xiuyuan was about to speak when he saw Jian Yue snatch the whip from the jailer and hit Niu Biao all over the face.

The whips in the torture room were barbed, and every time they were whipped, pieces of flesh would fall off. Niu Biao was also a ruthless man, and he didn't say a word, but laughed provocatively at Jian Yue.

Jian Yue was drawn for the original owner. The original owner had never escaped the fate of being killed by Niu Biao in her two lives. It was really pathetic, and it also fits the label of women in this era with low status and tragic fate.

But Jian Yue is not a person of this era. Even if she is trapped in the shell of the original owner and unable to change the decadent ideas of this era, she will not sit idly by and wait for death.

Maybe in the dark, she was brought here to help her turn the tables on the original owner. No matter who the "person" who brought her here is, or for what purpose, she is still herself. The original owner's obstacles are her obstacles, and the original owner's hatred is her hatred. Even if she wants to let go, those who have a karmic relationship with the original owner will not let her go. This should be what people often call fate.

In his previous life, the poison master was a dissolute and unruly person who didn't care about rules. But he also had his own bottom line, which was that he couldn't use his strengths to harm others.

Therefore, influenced by her master, Jian Yue has always been very cautious and restrained in using poison. But in this world, her only way to save her life is poison. She doesn't want to use it, but reality forces her to use it.

Just like now, punishment can't pry open Niu Biao's mouth, and Jian Yue doesn't have extra time to waste with him. It doesn't matter, her poison can pry it open. It's just that this poison has some minor side effects, and the person will become mentally disordered after using it. However, for a person who deserves to die, mental disorder will not affect the speed of his death.

Jian Yue was tired of beating him, so she threw away the whip and asked the jailer to bring a bowl of water and pour the powder into it: "Pour it in, don't let it spill."

Niu Biao's hands and feet were chained and hung in the air. Two jailers came over, one clamped his head, and the other roughly pinched his mouth open. The jailer holding the bowl of water came forward and poured the medicine into his mouth.

Niu Biao struggled not to drink, but he had no choice. After making sure that he had swallowed it, the three jailers let go.

Niu Biao's hands were trapped, and he couldn't scratch his throat, so he cursed: "Little bitch! I'm not afraid of death. My biggest regret is that I didn't get you in..."

"You are Yan Xinning's most loyal bootlicker." Jian Yue suddenly said.

Niu Biao paused, and his angry expression quickly disappeared, replaced by a face full of tenderness. His eyes were unfocused, and his voice was as gentle as possible: "Ms. Xinning, Niu Biao will go through fire and water for you. Don't worry, I will definitely kill her to vent your anger."

Yan Xiuyuan looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Jian Yue: "How do you know Jian Yue is going out today?"

Yan Xiuyuan looked at Jian Yue in surprise: Are you angry? How could he say that when you ask him that?

Unexpectedly, Niu Biao replied honestly: "Since Miss Xinning, you have sent people to monitor Yue's house, I will find a good helper and will definitely help you get things done."

"There is no one else in Yue's house except Divine Doctor Mao and that little bitch. If there is a carriage coming out, it is most likely her, there is no doubt about it."

Jian Yue continued to guide him: "If you assassinate the palace master's daughter, you will die. Your comrades trust you so much and are willing to risk their lives for you. Aren't you implicated them?"

Niu Biao hesitated for a moment, but soon he was relieved: "I have no regrets in dying for Miss Xinning. Those people are the lowest-ranking soldiers. It is their honor to die for Miss Xinning."

"Hehe!" Niu Biao's face was full of obsession, and he murmured to himself, "Miss Xinning is so good, white and tender, fragrant and soft. It's worth it for Niu Biao to spend a night with Miss Xinning, haha..."

Yan Xiuyuan's eyes went dark and he almost fainted. He was shocked and angry, and he didn't want to believe that Yan Xinning was such a person.

After all, she was the child he had raised as his own daughter for five years. In his heart, Yan Xiuyuan still hoped that even if she was no longer the daughter of the mansion master, she would still be a gentle and virtuous woman with the demeanor of a noble lady. In this way, it would not be in vain for him to teach and pamper her.

But, I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it…

The unknown side of Yan Xinning shattered his three views.

"How much money did the Wen family give you?" Jian Yue suddenly interrupted Niu Biao's fantasy.

Niu Biao's disgusted expression disappeared, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "That old fox Wen Jinhong is a stingy person. He wants me to do things for him, but he is unwilling to pay more."

As he spoke, he put on a flattering expression again...
