Chapter 330 Awakened
"You are the prisoner's accomplice!" Zhang Dian blocked Ye Zhaoyan's way, and said in a deep voice, "Take off your cover!"

Ye Zhaoyan faltered, and slowly turned to look at him.

At this moment, her expression made Zhang Dian's face tremble, and he felt a chill rushing from the tailbone to the top of the head. He couldn't help feeling extremely ashamed, and refused to show weakness, "Why? Don't you dare take off the veil?"

Ye Zhaoyan glanced at him indifferently, didn't bother to answer, and was about to walk past him.

"Stop!" Zhang Dian put his knife on her shoulder, and yelled, "If you dare to go one step further, I'll kill you right now!"

Ye Zhaoyan turned around slowly, met his eyes, "Luo Yuanfan's accomplice?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Ye Zhaoyan said unhurriedly: "Luo Yuanfan is clearly from Jindu, and you... want to protect him."

"You nonsense!" Zhang Dian widened his eyes, "I'm here under the order of King Zhuo! You'd better tell your accomplices quickly, otherwise..."

Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows slightly, grabbed his arm quickly, pulled off the jade badge from his waist and held it in his hand, "Zhang Dian, the prisoner of the Ministry of Punishment? Since you are not accomplices, why don't you rush to interrogate Luo Yuanfan, but bother to deal with me?" This passer-by?"

Zhang Dian shyly retracted the saber, but forgot to answer for a moment, only feeling his heart throbbing.

"This woman's identity is suspicious, don't let her go!" Yan Shoubei's voice sounded.

Only then did Zhang Dian regain his confidence, and snatched the jade token back into his hand, "Who are you, hand over your token of identity quickly! Someone, take her down!"

Several guards surrounded him one after another, staring at him.

Ye Zhaoyan sneered, turned around suddenly, kicked Zhang Dian with his right leg, forced him back, slipped under his armpit, and jumped onto the courtyard wall beside him.

Everyone was dumbfounded, this woman... is so sensitive!

"Master Zhou, what are you waiting for?! Do you want to wait for these treacherous ministers who cover up the thieves to kidnap me?!" Ye Zhaoyan shouted loudly, "If it weren't for me, I'm afraid there will be another unjust case under your hands today .”

Yan Shoubei gritted his teeth and roared, "Grab her!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhou De stepped forward and said, "The top priority is to find out the case! Take Luo Yuanfan down first!"

All the guards took the order, Qi claimed it was true, immediately drew their swords and rushed forward, and quickly took Luo Yuanfan into custody.The rest of the people stared around vigilantly, for fear that another accomplice would appear.

These Beirong people are highly skilled in martial arts, and they are by no means ordinary people, so they must act with caution.

Taking advantage of everyone's busy time, Ye Zhaoyan had already flew outside the execution platform, and Zhou De's steward Liu Jiyuan took care of her all the way, blocking the people who were chasing secretly.

"I hope the girl will not take it to heart when I was rude today!" Liu Jiyuan shouted.

Ye Zhaoyan couldn't stop walking when he heard the confession coming from far behind.

After she got out of the east gate, she went to the inn to change her usual clothes, and watched secretly by the window for a while, and saw a group of people leading two carriages on the avenue not far away to the direction of the execution ground.

The specifications of the two carriages seemed to be almost the same, but the distance they fell one after the other attracted Ye Zhaoyan's attention.The fur of the horse pulling the cart in front was shiny and full of endurance; the other horse pulling the cart was thin and gray with gray mane, as if it had been running for a long time, and even its eye sockets were sunken.

"This is a nobleman from the Beibei Mission." The shopkeeper at the door hurriedly told Xiao Er to half-close the door, "To avoid suspicion, you should not get too close."

Ye Zhaoyan's heart tightened, the envoy mentioned in the dossier.
The secrets recorded on it are what they said!

The sound of horseshoes approached from far to near, gradually approaching.

I saw the curtains of the car fluttering slightly, revealing a man in a dark blue gown sitting in the carriage. Although the distance was far away, the patterns and decorations of his clothes could be vaguely recognized, obviously he was a nobleman.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned in thought, and quickly wrote a letter to be taken away by the hidden guards of Ye Mansion.

……

On the execution platform, there was too much movement of the fight just now, which disturbed the patrolling officers, soldiers and common people in the city.

Zhang Dian took advantage of the chaos and slipped to the corner. "When we catch that female assassin, we must execute her Ling Chi!"

Yan Shoubei gave him a hard gouged look, and Zhang Dian retracted his eyes in fright.

"Master Yan, what should we do?" Zhang Dian asked in a low voice.

Thinking of the more important matters right now, Yan Shoubei held back his anger and leaned over to whisper a few words.

After Zhang Dian listened, he took a deep breath, "This, if you do this, you won't be settled by that old man after autumn, right?"

Yan Shoubei hated that iron cannot be made into steel, "What are you afraid of? If something goes wrong, the Zhuo Palace will take care of it."

Over there, after Zhou De took the prisoner into custody, he was about to return to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to preside over the trial work. As soon as he got up, he found a chill coming from behind.

Two hands pressed on his shoulder, one left and one right, with different strength and touch, obviously two hands.

Zhou De was shocked, "Who is it?!"

He thumped in his heart, could it be that an enemy army sneaked in?
"Don't panic, Mr. Zhou, one of our own." Yan Shoubei's voice came from his ear.

Zhou De froze suddenly.

"Your Majesty Zhou, please stay safe." Zhang Dian said in a flattering tone, "You are old and you have worked hard on the trial, so you might as well rest and leave the rest to us."

"You—" Zhou De was startled and angry, pointed at Zhang Dian and cursed, "It's wrong! It's wrong!"

Yan Shoubei laughed loudly and said: "In this world, the strong are respected. Zhou De, I advise you to let go obediently, otherwise don't blame the brothers for not remembering the old love!"

Although the martial arts of the two are not as good as Zhou De's, and the combination of the two and the sneak attack, they can easily succeed.

Zhang Dian chuckled a few times, and didn't care about Zhou De's man-eating appearance at all. "Master Zhou, please, don't make things difficult for our family."

Zhou De took a deep breath, closed his eyes, endured the humiliation and sat back on his seat.

Yan Shoubei patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we will enforce the law impartially."

Only then did Zhou De think deeply about what the woman in white said, recalling the many strange things in this line of work, and finally came to his senses.

The identity of the captured assassin has been revealed.

He is not Zhuo Yibai's accomplice, nor is he from Beirong, but someone sent by somewhere in Jindu to kill people.

But Zhang Dian and Yan Shoubei obviously had a similar purpose to that person, seeing that Zhuo Yibai's forceful killing failed, they intended to make things easier for the assassin.

Zhou De opened his eyes angrily, bloodshot eyes, "How dare you lie to me?!"

Zhang Dian smiled and said: "How dare a villain? Master Zhou's slander makes people frightened."

Zhou De snorted coldly, turned his head with a flick of his sleeves.

Yan Shoubei smiled and said: "To tell the truth, King Zhuo has a relationship with me. This matter is related to the century-old reputation of the Zhuo family. I hope Master Zhou will sell me."

Zhou De frowned, his face constantly changing.

"Master Zhou also knows that the marriage between King Zhuo's Mansion and Nanyue is imminent, and the power will be in Jindu. If this case is not handled properly and the reputation of the Zhuo family is tarnished, the Zhuo family will definitely turn their anger on Master Zhou. This will not benefit Master Zhou's career. , but got into trouble."
