Chapter 116 Hiring a Killer to Break a Leg
Yi Changning just finished speaking.
The leading man in black turned around and looked at Yi Changning.
He sneered: "Don't worry, wait until we deal with that guy, then it will be your turn soon!"
Just as the man in black finished speaking.
Several flying knives suddenly flew towards the man in black.
But in a moment.
Several men in black were hit by the flying knives and fell to the ground.
Yi Changning looked at the man in black who was about to hurt him.
In an instant, there were corpses all over the ground.
His face suddenly changed and he collapsed against a big tree.
I also realized how powerful those people hiding in the dark are.
The flying knife is superb.
Just as Yi Changning was stunned.
A figure leaped down from the tree.
He came directly in front of Yi Changning.
Yi Changning looked up.
A man in black brocade clothes and a mask.
Yi Changning held onto the tree and slowly stood up.
"I don't know if you saved me just now?"
The masked man said indifferently, "It is my wife's order."
Yi Changning was puzzled: "Your wife?"
The words fell.
Not far away, a carriage slowly approached.
Compared with the carriage driven by the man in black before, it looks even more unusual.
I think he is an extraordinary person.
Just as Yi Changning was thinking.
The carriage had stopped in front of Yi Changning.
Jiang Wanqing lifted the curtain.
Looking at Yi Changning in front of him.
Indeed, he is a gentle and elegant scholar with a jade-like face.
No wonder Xue Feier was moved.
He even resorted to such despicable means to keep Yi Changning.
Jiang Wanqing looked at Yi Changning, who was still carefully protecting the book in his hands.
In such a critical situation just now, this idiot was still holding on to the book.
Jiang Wanqing held out her handkerchief to Yi Changning.
Yi Changning was stunned.
Jiang Wanqing said: "Your book is dirty."
Yi Changning finally came back to his senses and looked at the book in his arms.
His face changed slightly, and without caring about anything else, he took Jiang Wanqing's handkerchief.
Wipe the book carefully.
Only after the books were clean did he realize what was going on.
He immediately said to Jiang Wanqing: "Thank you... Madam's handkerchief, I am sorry for the offense."
Taking the handkerchief was offensive in itself.
However, Yi Changning really couldn't bear to see his books get 'damaged'.
Jiang Wanqing was supported by Mo Yu and got off the carriage.
This time, Xiaoxiao was taken away by Nanny Su and stayed in the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion.
When Jiang Wanqing appeared in front of Yi Changning.
Yi Changning raised his hands and bowed again, "I wonder if Madam saved me just now?"
Yi Changning saw from the corner of his eye that the masked man who saved him bowed to the lady in front of him.
I think it was the instruction of the lady in front of me.
Jiang Wanqing did not reply, but slowly said: "You are Yi Changning."
Yi Changning was stunned.
There was confusion in his eyes: "Madam, how did you know my name? And those men in black just now..."
I clearly have no impression of the person in front of me.
Why would the lady help me?
What about the man in black?
Why do you want to break your own legs?
Yi Changning had many doubts in his mind.
Jiang Wanqing slowly said, "Mr. Yi, you have so many questions. Why don't you first answer me how you were favored by Xue Fei'er, the daughter of the first imperial merchant?"
Being noticed by Xue Feier, the daughter of the first imperial merchant?
Yi Changning frowned slightly: "Madam, you saved my life, I am very grateful, but I don't know any Xue Feier, please don't slander the innocence of other women."
Jiang Wanqing heard this and smiled: "If you have no connection with her, why would someone hire someone to cut off your legs?"
Yi Changning was stunned.
Look at the corpses lying on the ground.
Pupils shrink.
"Madam, do you mean that these people were sent by the Royal Merchant's daughter, Xue Fei'er, to break my legs?"
"But, I really don't know her. I haven't even spoken to her...I..."
Suddenly, Yi Changning thought of something and his expression changed slightly.
"If it's the only intersection..."
Having said this, Yi Changning paused.
Jiang Wanqing looked at Yi Changning.
He raised his eyebrows, curiosity in his eyes.
Yi Changning then explained: "Before, in the restaurant, many people were discussing Xue Feier's ugliness in public. I couldn't stand seeing these people humiliating a woman, so I interrupted and said that the difference between beauty and ugliness is not based on appearance, but on the heart.
After that, a woman on the second floor of the restaurant went downstairs and left. Everyone kept their mouths shut. Later I found out that the woman was Xue Feier. "
After a pause, Yi Changning asked again: "But just like this, how can Madam conclude that what happened today was done by Xue Feier?"
Jiang Wanqing didn't reply, but just gave the masked man a look.
"Mutong, you go."
After hearing this, Mu Tong turned and walked towards the man in black who was lying on the ground.
Then he searched the man in black for a long time.
Finally, a token was found.
Mu Tong returned to Jiang Wanqing and handed the token to her.
Jiang Wanqing took it, read the words on the token clearly, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Then he handed the token to Yi Changning.
When Yi Changning saw the word "Xue" on the token, his expression changed slightly.
Then he looked at Jiang Wanqing and said in disbelief: "Why? Even if it was Xue Feier, why did she break my leg?"
Jiang Wanqing looked directly at Yi Changning and explained, "Because she wants you to be her husband, a live-in husband. If she breaks your legs and your path to the imperial examination, she will appear by your side and take good care of you, showing her love. You will definitely marry her out of gratitude."
Yi Changning opened his lips, a look of disbelief: "This... How is it possible... She is just a little girl, how could she be so mean."
Jiang Wanqing understood Yi Changning's reaction.
After all, if you don’t hear your little voice.
She would never have thought that Xue Feier would be that kind of person.
Jiang Wanqing then asked, "Did your family's livelihood encounter problems a few days ago? Did you go to the Xue family's bank to borrow money?"
Yi Changning's pupils shrank slightly: "How do you know?"
Jiang Wanqing smiled and said, "The problems with your family's livelihood were caused by Xue Feier. She wanted to destroy you step by step, making you fall into a miserable life with no money and a broken leg, and then appear in front of you as a savior."
Yi Changning was stunned.
Silent for a long time,
Then he raised his head, his eyes slightly gloomy.
He spoke again: "But these people have insufficient evidence, and why would Madam interfere in this matter?"
Although what Jiang Wanqing said was very truthful.
But Yi Changning is not the kind of person who is easily led by others.
Jiang Wanqing sighed, "I only had someone investigate Xue Feier's affairs because of other people's affairs. I just didn't want to see you fall into her trap. You are someone that Master Wuchen praised, and I am also a person who cherishes talent."
Master Wu Chen?
Mr. Wuchen!
Yi Changning's expression changed slightly.
"The Wuchen you're talking about... is that Mr. Wuchen?"
Jiang Wanqing nodded.
Then he asked again: "If you don't believe what I said, are you willing to make a bet with me?"
