The weather in early autumn is always changing, but in just one morning, a heavy downpour fell in a torrent.
At this time, every house in Qingpingfang was closed, and pedestrians were eagerly looking for a place to take shelter from the rain.
At this time, when pedestrians were eager to escape, a carriage was also driving forward quickly. When they saw that the carriage was about to drive towards the street where Zhang Yucheng's outer room was, the carriage suddenly stopped again.
When the flower girl Xiaodie stepped out of the carriage, she was still in a daze.
At this time, she seemed to be unaware of the heavy rain outside, until an oil-paper umbrella was stretched out from the car and said, "Miss Xiaodie, it's raining outside, it's better for you to hold an umbrella and get down."
Listening to the man's reminder, Xiaodie just mechanically took the umbrella from the other person's hand. Then it popped open.
She looked at her former residence with a dejected expression, feeling nothing but extreme fear in her heart. It's a pity that no matter how scared she is, there is no way out. The only thing she can do now is to continue moving forward.
When she was hesitating, Lu Zhizhang behind him just nodded towards Xiaodie. He seemed to comfort her and said, "Miss Xiaodie, don't worry, we have already arranged a dragnet. Just go back without worries."
With Lu Zhizhang's repeated assurances, Xiaodie walked back to the residence that originally belonged to her.
When Xiaodie opened the door to the outer courtyard, there was no one in the room, but through the woven rain curtain, she could still see Nada sitting on a rosewood chair in the main hall of the courtyard.
Therefore, after Xiaodie saw her target, she didn't look elsewhere.
Before entering the main hall, she only put away the oil-paper umbrella, and then placed the umbrella under the wall.
She moved so slowly, as if she wanted to get a moment to breathe in the slowness.
It's a pity that Nada in the main hall didn't seem to want her to get her wish. "Why did you come back so late? Don't you usually come back at noon?"
There was undoubtedly scrutiny and suspicion in Nada's cold voice.
When he asked the question, Xiaodie only shivered for nothing, but the temperature outside dropped sharply, and no one knew whether Xiaodie's shivers were due to fear or the weather.
She murmured, "Today, a sister I had been friends with in the past became a good friend. The wealthy businessman made her his concubine, so I went with him to have a glass of wine."
After hearing this, Nada just looked at her silently. His gray-blue eyes were clearly broken and fragile. However, when he was stared at by that gaze, Xiaodie felt like a poisonous snake being spit on. The illusion of staring.
This is not the first time she has lied. Lady Hualou has always told people's lies and ghosts' lies.
Random nonsense seems to have become their natural ability to make a living and protect themselves.
However, under Nada's gaze at this moment, she still felt as if her secret had nowhere to hide.
Just when Xiaodie didn't know how to respond, Nada finally said, "What's going on inside and outside the three gates of the capital today?"
Hearing Nada ask about this, Xiaodie couldn't help but secretly sighed in her heart.
The things he asked were what Xiaodie had been doing for him during this period.
Ever since he revealed who he was to Xiaodie last time, he rarely went out, and Xiaodie almost always did it for him when he went out.
At first, Xiaodie didn't know why the Qiangmo prince was doing this. After all, there was no notice issued by the capital to hunt down the Qiangmo prince on a large scale.
But just after she was escorted to the Yushitai with those officials, she learned that the Qiangmo prince was suspected of instigating others to kill the Jiang family's mistress.
And according to what the Yushitai official said, Zhang Yucheng was most likely killed by him.
If you continue to help him, it's hard not to be silenced in the same way.
Thinking of this, the more relaxed breath hung in his throat again.
"I have inquired today. The two gates in the south and east of the city are still heavily guarded. I heard that there are people guarding the gates outside the city."
After her words fell, she paused for a moment before saying, "But as far as I know, although there are still heavy troops guarding the west of the city, there are no more commissioners stuck outside the city. I heard that this is because the population flow in the west of the city is too large. , such detailed inspection will inevitably cause population congestion in the west of the city.
Blocking. "
"You mean the west side of the city is passable?" Nada said thoughtfully.
"Yes, and I estimate that after the rain stops, the number of people who want to leave the city will double. The city is anxious about the curfew, so it will be easier to go out by then." Xiaodie said with a flattering smile.
After listening to Xiaodie's words, Nada was obviously moved. He only lightly praised, "You did a good job."
Xiaodie then continued, "Then maybe the master of my antidote was rewarded to me?"
Nada didn't speak directly, he just waved to Xiaodie and said, "Come here."
After saying this, he seemed ready to take something out of his sleeve.
When Xiaodie saw him acting like this, she naturally thought that he was looking for an antidote, so she quickly approached him.
However, after getting closer, Nada suddenly turned around and grabbed her neck. He was taller than Xiaodie and much stronger than Xiaodie. Xiaodie, who had no power to fight back, was immediately restrained. Da grabbed his neck and got off the ground.
Nada, who seemed to have been calmed down just now, only showed a cruel expression. He scolded fiercely, "If you really went to drink your sister's wedding wine, you should have informed me a few days ago. Now you say that there is no doubt that you have." You're lying, and you don't smell like alcohol. You do have the smell of a government office that I hate."
Hearing Nada's words, Xiaodie's face instantly showed an expression of fear, and this fear just proved that Nada's guess was correct.
Nada only showed a cruel smile and said, "If I'm not wrong, then the person who sent you back is waiting outside the door now, right? You should remember that I told you before that anyone who betrays me will die."
As the words fell, he just squeezed Xiaodie's neck a little tighter. At this time, Xiaodie was just like a fragile butterfly fluttering in the palm of his hand. However, no matter how she struggled, it was in vain, and then she only heard a small sound. There was a soft clicking sound from Die's neck, and after that sound, Xiaodie, who was originally struggling, instantly lowered his arms and legs.
After confirming that the flower girl in front of him was dead, Nada just threw Xiaodie on the ground like garbage, and then strode towards the yard.
At this time, it was raining heavily, and the whole world seemed to be covered by a rain curtain, and Nada had no intention of cleaning up Xiaodie's body.
He only got up and stepped onto the roof. He was planning to use the height to see where those people were hiding. If appropriate, he might leave Qingpingfang through the connected eaves and walls.
However, as soon as he stepped onto the roof, he saw an endless bead net rushing toward him.
Seeing that a dragnet had been set up above the courtyard, Nada could only retreat into the courtyard again, but the net only followed him like a maggot attached to the bone.
Moreover, many guards in black appeared in the courtyard at some point. Nada was only focused on fighting with these people, but he was unable to do anything else.
Within a moment, Nada was trapped in the net. Nada wanted to struggle again, but the net had completely become smaller as the mouth of the bag shrank.
At this moment, Nada has completely become a turtle in the urn.
Lu Zhizhang didn't know when he entered the courtyard. When he looked at Nada, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, but this excitement was fleeting. He lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness Nada, why are you struggling like this? We just want to invite you to discuss some things. We don’t really intend to do anything to you."
Nada looked at Lu Zhizhang coldly and said sarcastically, "You think I don't know what your plans are. What a pity, even if I have information that you know, I won't say a word."
Seeing Nada say this, Lu Zhizhang also sneered and said, "When you enter the Yushitai, it's not up to you whether you want to say it or not."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhizhang waved his hands towards the guards in black, indicating that they would be taken away.
Knowing that no matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain, Nada suddenly laughed lowly and said, "I will not lose!"
After the words fell, Nada pulled out a dagger from somewhere, and then he suddenly pointed the dagger at his heart and stabbed it hard.
It was obvious that Nada was seeking death, and his knife was both fast and accurate.
At the same time, a stream of blood splashed on the net like raindrops. By the time Lu Zhizhang realized what Nada was going to do, it was already too late.
He could only shout in vain, "Stop him quickly! He wants to die!"
However, when the snare was removed at this time, it was obvious that
Too late.
Nada's eyes were wide open, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He only murmured, "I will not lose! I will not lose..."
Seeing the people who died suddenly, everyone didn't know what to do for a moment. The order from the Yushitai was to capture them alive.
After all, the two suspects in the case of the Jiang family's mistress being poisoned have now been arrested, and they have confessed to what they were doing. He also admitted that he was instigated by Nada.
In addition, one of them also handed over the records of Yu Se, the Jiang family's mistress, who had funded a Qiang desert force over the years.
And her boss is Nada.
What was recorded on that roll of paper was what they really wanted to investigate. Unfortunately, Yu Se was only a small part of it. The evidence she gave could only prove that she had an interest entanglement with Nada, and that she The Jiang family is giving blood transfusions to certain forces, but even Yu Se himself doesn't know the origins of that force and what its plans are.
Moreover, Nada was also cautious. He seemed to have destroyed all correspondence and information with those forces before leaving.
So now I want to get more information. They can only ask Nada himself.
However, once Nada died, the investigation fell short.
And that Qiang desert force is just like mud flowing into the ground. If you want to investigate further, you have to find other new clues.
"Master Lu, what should we do now?" Seeing this situation, one of the guards could not help but ask Lu Zhizhang.
At this time, Lu Zhizhang could only sigh and said, "I was reckless. I will personally explain this matter to Mr. Gao."
