Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 186 1 Knife

Not long after, Gan Cao brought the necessary items according to Zhao Junning's request. Li Ziyan watched Zhao Junning take these things, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness.

Then, Zhao Junning said to A Yue, "A Yue, for your own happiness, Aunt Mu will do it according to what I just told you." As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Mu pulled A Yue up and prepared to walk into the house.

At this moment, Ah Yue suddenly seemed to have lost her mind and cried out loudly: "Madam, I know I was wrong! The young master never touched me! I was forced to do this, please forgive me, Madam!"

Zhao Junning signaled Aunt Mu to lead the other servants to leave first, and then said: "You are a smart person. You should know that you were sent here because of coercion from others. I guess your so-called master didn't care about your life or death."

Ah Yue was shaking all over, her face full of fear. At this time, Li Ziyan was sitting quietly by the side, and suddenly said, "Madam, please don't drive me away, otherwise... otherwise they will definitely take my life!"

Zhao Junning turned to look at Ah Yue, and at that moment, Ah Yue took advantage of her unpreparedness and quickly pulled out a sharp dagger from her waist and stabbed Zhao Junning. However, Li Ziyan reacted very quickly, he instantly pulled Zhao Junning behind him, and with a powerful punch, knocked the dagger out of Ah Yue's hand.

"Haha, since the matter has been exposed, it means that you are more skilled. The master is right, you two are very scheming and have great means. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I have nothing to say today, but don't try to get any information from me!" A Yue said gritting her teeth.

Li Ziyan acted decisively, stretched out his hand to pinch Ah Yue's chin, and dislocated it with a sudden force. Then, he ordered Mo Yu and Fei Zhou to go forward and hold Ah Yue tightly, sneering and saying, "Want to die? It's not that easy! What kind of vicious heart is hidden under the skin of a beauty? I think it's time to get to the bottom of this case that happened in Pingliang Imperial City recently."

Ah Yue stared at Li Ziyan with eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what she heard. However, Li Ziyan raised his lips slightly, and responded with a confident smile: "Don't look at me with such surprise, I know how smart I am."

Then, Ah Yue warned in a serious tone: "Assassinating an official of the imperial court is a capital crime. According to the law, you should be sent to the Dali Temple for trial and sentenced to death."

At this moment, a sharp silver needle suddenly pierced into A Yue's neck as fast as lightning! Zhao Junning shouted in panic: "Zi Yan, quickly seal her acupuncture points!"

Li Ziyan made a prompt decision and immediately pressed the acupuncture points on Ah Yue's body to prevent the spread of the poison. At the same time, the killer responsible for silencing her was subdued and captured by the flying boat that arrived in time. Li Ziyan signaled to his men to take these people away for custody first. Afterwards, Ah Yue was safely brought back to the liquorice room.

After entering the room, Zhao Junning quickly used the detoxification technique to remove the poison from Ah Yue's body. When Ah Yue gradually regained consciousness, Zhao Junning couldn't wait to ask: "Zi Yan, have you found out who wants to harm you?"

Li Ziyan pondered for a moment and slowly replied, "According to my guess, if nothing unexpected happens, the mastermind behind this should be those senior officials. His Majesty intends to promote me, and even intends to make me the sharpest blade to help him eliminate the useless dregs and corrupt forces in the court. In this way, those old guys will naturally feel uneasy."

Zhao Junning sighed helplessly after hearing this, and then nodded gently. Li Ziyan comforted her and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Those people tried to find something wrong with me, but it was in vain. On the contrary, I found a lot of their flaws!"

Zhao Junning looked at Li Ziyan with a puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't quite understand what he meant. Li Ziyan smiled slightly and explained, "It's no small matter that officials appointed by the court often visit places of entertainment and casinos."
