The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 15 Do you like riding a wooden donkey?

"Who is it, the prison in the capital. No one else is allowed to approach." The jailer on duty said vigilantly, holding a weapon in one hand.

"Blind your eyes, you don't even know me?" the visitor shouted.

Holding the torch, the jailer leaned forward, seeing the decoration of the visitor, he was startled, and hurriedly said: "See Your Highness the Princess."

It was Princess Ling An who came.

"Open the cell, I want to see a prisoner." Princess Ling An said bluntly.

"Obey." The jailer naturally didn't dare to disobey, and asked someone to open the cell door.Take Princess Ling'an into prison.

As the cell door closed, the jailer stood at the door as usual.Not long after, Princess Ling An came out of the prison and left in a hurry.

"Hey, what are you pretending to be, and you're still wearing a veil. You must have a good father, or else you're a bitch who rides thousands of people." Seeing the domineering back slowly disappearing into the darkness, the jailer secretly scolded.

As soon as he finished cursing, he blinked and found another black shadow walking towards him in the dark place in the distance.He was startled immediately, she couldn't be the one who heard his scolding just now, and came to settle accounts with him, right?
He sent the torch forward, waiting to see the other party's face clearly.Immediately, cold sweat oozed from the forehead, the person who came was none other than Princess Ling'an who had gone and returned.

He tried to calm down, stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, why are you back again? Did you forget something?"

Princess Ling'an frowned: "Ye, why did you say again, when did I come here?"

"You are not..." the jailer was about to say something.Taking a closer look, she was immediately surprised. Although this Princess Ling'an had the same face as before, wearing a veil, her clothes and hairstyle had changed.

Suddenly, he exclaimed, "It's broken."

Princess Ling'an's expression also changed, and she shouted anxiously: "Open the prison door quickly, I want to see Xuanhai."

The jailer didn't dare to delay, and hastily knocked on the cell door.I asked if there was any change inside, and was relieved to learn that everything was as usual.Sending Princess Ling An to the prison, he hesitated whether to report the matter.

At this moment, Princess Ling An, who had already entered the cell, turned her back to him and said, "Keep this matter secret."

"Of course." He didn't need to hesitate any more.Then slowly close the prison door.

Princess Ling'an walked into the prison, covered her mouth and nose with her hands and asked the jailer leading the way in front of him: "What did the person who pretended to be me come in just now?"

"Your Highness, the man asked us to release the monk from the rack, and said a few insignificant words to him. Then he told us to take good care of him and left." The jailer leading the way replied.

Princess Ling'an just gave a grace to show that she understood.

Following the jailer's arrival in the torture room, Princess Ling'an walked around, looking curiously at the various instruments of torture.A jailer has already gone to escort Monk Xuanhai.

After a while, Monk Xuanhai was escorted into the execution room by two guards.Xuan Hai was obviously surprised to see Princess Ling An.

"Amitabha, princess, why are you here?"

"Oh, why can't I come. Are you ashamed to see me? Think about how I treated you back then, and how you treated me." Princess Ling An sneered.

Then he turned and pointed to a wooden donkey and asked, "What is this? How is it used?"

This is a donkey carved out of wood, which is lifelike, with a slanted tail behind it. The only thing special is that there is a wooden stick with a radius of two centimeters and about the length of a palm on the back of the donkey. Became a "little mushroom".

"Princess, this is a wooden donkey, which is for the police. There is a mechanism under it. After setting it, it can move up and down." A jailer who escorted Xuanhai explained.

"Then use it for him." Princess Ling An said.

"No, princess, you can't treat me like this. You have to trust me. I was framed." Seeing the straight wooden stick, Monk Xuanhai suddenly panicked.

After Princess Ling'an finished speaking, the two jailers pulled Monk Xuanhai to the wooden donkey.

"This is for **, I am a man, this is not my criminal law~ah~~~"

Looking at the screaming Xuanhai, Princess Ling'an said lightly: "Aren't you just a whore."

"Take care of him. If someone pretends to be me, he may be robbed. Watch him. If he escapes, I won't spare you."

Liu'an Houfu Peng Garden
Ma Xiao rushed all the way and entered Changsun Ji's house.

"My lord, I found the news you asked me to find." Ma Xiao put a few pieces of paper on the table.

Changsun Ji picked up the few pieces of paper and looked at them, all of them were famous assassins in the capital.It is full of their achievements, cultivation bases, and prices.

"It didn't arouse suspicion!"

"No, this information is not particularly valuable, and you can get it for a little money. And I received this information through two people. No one will know who got this information in the end."

Changsun Ji nodded to show he understood.After reading it once, he already had a candidate in his mind.He took out the fire folder from the side, lit the few pieces of paper and put them into the basin on the side.Turning his back and asked:

"By the way, how is the business of the shop that the old man gave you?"

"It's not bad, young master. Shall we take a look?" Ma Xiao asked.

Watching the paper in the basin slowly turn into ashes, Changsun Ji turned around and said with a smile:
"Let's go, you can't let these guys be handymen, you don't know if you change your master"

The two left Hou Ye's mansion, found a carriage, and drove east.The east of the capital is a business district, and it is the most prosperous place, no matter if it is a tea house, tavern, pawnshop, workshop, inn, casino, or brothel, it is just a few steps away, so you can't take your eyes off it.The shop that Changsun Lianyi gave to Changsun Ji is naturally also in the East District.

The carriage didn't go far and reached the East End.It is not easy for a carriage to walk here, so Changsun Ji took Ma Xiao out of the carriage and walked, slipping, to the shop.

The location of the store is still good, located at an intersection, the traffic is convenient, and the natural flow of customers is very large.This shop used to be an inn, and the business was pretty good. After all, there are more passers-by in the past.

Entering the door is the lobby, which is no different from an ordinary inn.Changsun Ji walked into the shop, there was a counter next to it, and there was an old man standing inside, who was the owner of the shop.

The shop owner naturally recognized the master's son, the future master.Seeing the grandson Ji coming, he quickly invited him into the private room upstairs.Order the following to serve good tea.Looking at the shopkeeper who showed great hospitality, Changsun Ji smiled lightly and said, "What's the name of the shopkeeper?"

"The little old man's name is Zhou Nimu, and everyone who knows the little old man from all over the world calls him Zhou Nizi." The shopkeeper replied.

"Well, excluding expenses, how much money can our shop provide for the mansion in one month?" Changsun Ji didn't care, and asked casually.

"My lord, this month's business is pretty good, and it can almost provide 45 taels of silver for the mansion."
