This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 445 Assassination
Changle's words were spoken in the room, but they echoed in Bai Qingying's heart.

She was born in a farmer's yard all her life.

Surprisingly, she became more and more beautiful as she grew older, until her fame spread beyond the village and into the county.

All the big men in the county were looking at her in the village.

Whenever one sees his extraordinary and gorgeous face, one would subconsciously take a breath of cold air.

I have never seen a girl born in the countryside with such a beautiful appearance.

So, she watched her parents accept the hundred taels of silver from the rich man in the county with gratitude, and gave herself to the rich man as a concubine.

She was ignorant at first and believed her parents' words that she would marry into a wealthy family and enjoy a life of happiness.

But, on her wedding day, she happened to meet a legendary knight.

The knight said that the rich man in the county was robbing a woman, and he wanted to enforce justice.

As a result, all the rich man in the county and his family were killed.

And she was also taken away by the knight.

Afterwards, she married the knight who had saved her from danger.

The knight's surname is Han.

However, she had just entered the martial arts world and had not learned martial arts for a few days before she saw her husband being beheaded in the sect.

Only then did Bai Qingying slowly wake up.

The world I have entered is a cannibalistic world.

Women are ultimately helpless.

But she just didn't believe that she couldn't control her own destiny.

Later, she took her late husband's disciples towards the Taoist competition.

This trip is just to become famous.

However, the truth gave her a huge blow.

Only after she saw the young and handsome figure did she know.

It turns out there are such amazing geniuses in this world!

He is so young, but he is already invincible!
The two of them developed an unclear bond during the Taoist competition.

Fortunately, she was pretty and presentable. At least she didn't embarrass him, right?

When you talk about yourself with your friends outside, you should smile, right?
Bai Qingying thought of this more than once at night.

Thinking that she was still useful to him and that he had asked her to help him plant flowers, Bai Qingying felt secretly delighted.

She felt that she had gone from not embarrassing him to being able to help him.

Later, various things happened and she became the concubine of the Duke of Beiguo without knowing it.

She was even pregnant with the Duke of Beiguo's child.

However, she has been wandering around the world until now and has never thought about enjoying wealth and glory. She has always just wanted to have a small courtyard and spend her life in it with her beloved.

Until now, even in the most luxurious mansion in the world, she still found a small courtyard for herself to grow flowers and grass...

This is her long-cherished wish and also her mission.

……

"I'm leaving now."

Bai Qingying's face was always so peaceful. After listening to Changle's words, her pretty face became serious. Looking at the pregnant Changle, she spoke to comfort him:
"Sister, just take care of yourself, and leave the rest to me."

"Haha, I always trust my sister when she does things."

Changle smiled gently, gently took Qingying's hand and said:

"Qingying Meizi, as your husband's women, although we may not be as stunning as you, we can't be worse than other women."

"kindness."

Bai Qingying bowed gracefully towards Changle, then stood up and gently rubbed her slightly bulging belly.

"Wait for good news from my sister."

Changle's voice sounded behind him.

……

Bai Qingying was walking alone on the street, and her purpose was very clear, which was to go to Pei Yinlang's office.

She had seen a tall man.

The tall man was extremely powerful and was a loyal subordinate of her husband.

She also remembered that the tall guy seemed to be called... Zhang Shenxing?

should be.

This trip was a conspiracy between the two sisters. It was a serious matter and they dared not let the servants know.

Even Li Zhen's undercover agent could be found around his uncle, so they had no idea whether there were any spies in the mansion.

The road is full of prosperity.

When the news came that her husband had won the battle with the Demon King at the border and killed him in the battle array, the depressing atmosphere on the street disappeared completely.

Everyone is praising my husband.

Qingying even knew that many people had hung up longevity tablets for their husbands.

This is a feeling of honor.

This was a feeling that made her feel in her heart that she was the happiest woman in the world.

She once wondered what good deeds she had done in her previous life to be able to meet her husband in this life...

Before she knew it, she had walked to Pei Yinlang's yamen.

Today, the Peiyinlang Yamen is under tight security.

Bai Qingying hesitated for a moment, then slowly stepped onto the stairs. There were soldiers guarding the entrance of the yamen.

"Stop!"

Seeing Bai Qingying's slightly bulging belly, the soldier looked serious but did not draw his sword.

"Please inform that Bai Qingying is here to look for Zhang Shenxing."

Bai Qingying's face was calm as she gently saluted the soldier.

After hearing Bai Qingying's words and looking at her clothes, the soldier hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Wait."

After saying that, he walked towards the yamen.

Bai Qingying simply smoothed her hair that was messed up by the wind, then stood outside the yamen, waiting slowly.

In a short while, a nine-foot-tall strong man hurried out of the yamen.

It was Zhang Shenxing.

At this moment, Zhang Shenxing hurriedly looked outside the door. After seeing Bai Qingying's figure, he trembled all over and quickly walked towards Bai Qingying:

"Why are you here?"

The voice was quite respectful.

Zhang Shenxing was an old man who had followed Lu Yuanzhi, so he had naturally met Bai Qingying. He even knew that Bai Qingying and Lu Yuanzhi only became acquainted after the Taoist competition.

"Zhang Fengpei."

When Bai Qingying saw Zhang Shenxing, she bowed to him.

Seeing Bai Qingying saluting, Zhang Shenxing, a 9-foot-tall man, wanted to help her up but didn't dare to extend his hand. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely:

"Mrs. Bai, please don't do this."

Zhang Shenxing looked around vigilantly, then whispered:
"Follow me first."

Having said that, he took Bai Qingying and walked into Pei Yinlang's yamen.

The two walked between the government offices, and Zhang Shenxing sighed:
"Miss Bai, I know why you are here."

Bai Qingying just looked at him calmly and said:

"I hope Zhang Fengpei will take care of this matter."

Now that you know this, there's no need to speak too openly. If you speak too openly, others may overhear.

"It's just that this matter is too complicated, and it's not something that Feng Pei, like me, can get involved in."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at Zhang Shenxing's room.

Zhang Shenxing smiled bitterly:

"Before Commander Lu left, he told me that he would promote me to Yun Pei when I made some progress in martial arts. I have failed Commander Lu."

“Who is advocating this case?”

Bai Qingying looked at Zhang Shenxing methodically.

Zhang Shenxing sighed and said:

"Almost all of the six Yun Peis followed Commander Lu to the border. Now there is only one Yun Pei in the government office who is qualified to participate in this case, and that is the upright Geng Yun Pei." "Upright?"

Bai Qingying frowned. She was not unfamiliar with his reputation for being honest.

In fact, each of Pei Yinlang's six Yunpei is very famous and feared in the capital.

"What's the point?"

Bai Qingying looked at Zhang Shenxing indifferently and asked.

Since Zhang Shenxing emphasized this person's name, there must be a reason for it, and she had to find out.

"At the beginning, Commander Lu was not promoted, and he had a conflict with Geng Zhi Yun Pei."

Having said that, he looked around warily, and when he noticed that there was no one around, he whispered:
"Hai Rui has been brought to the Imperial Prison for interrogation. I can have my men watch over him day and night, so his life will not be in danger."

"Oh?"

When Bai Qingying heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

She probably understood what was going on.

Now that my uncle has been taken to the Heavenly Prison and the three-court trial has not yet begun, Pei Yinlang is qualified to bring the person to his own prison for questioning first.

From this point, it can be seen that although Yun Pei, who was called Gengzhi, had conflicts with her husband, the contradiction between the two should not be too big.

Otherwise, he would never have brought the person to Pei Yinlang's prison.

Who doesn’t know that Pei Yinlang’s surname is Lu?
My husband's uncle was brought in and he will definitely not tolerate any injustice.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingying heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her head with a calm look in her beautiful eyes:

"How long can a person be detained in the imperial prison?"

Zhang Shenxing knew Bai Qingying would ask this, he smiled bitterly:
"A month at most."

"Oh."

A month?

A gleam of light flashed through Bai Qingying's mind:
"What if I try my best?"

"One month. I really didn't bargain with my wife about this."

"Really?"

Zhang Shenxing's mouth twitched, and he almost fell to his knees. He said with a bitter face:

"It's been a month since the brothers have united, and it's best if Geng Zhi Yun Pei doesn't make trouble."

"Damn it, I have a bad temper, not a fool!"

A voice rang out directly. After Zhang Shenxing heard this, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then he looked towards the door.

I saw a figure appear in this room, it was none other than the upright Yunpei who was retained by Pei Yinlang in the yamen.

"Geng Yunpei."

Zhang Shenxing stood up and bowed.

"Mr. Zhang, you just said I was making trouble. What kind of trouble was it?"

Gengzhi saw Bai Qingying as soon as he came in. After seeing Bai Qingying's face, he was really amazed, but he didn't dare to have any bad intentions.

He knew that this woman was Commander Lu's person.

"Um...this..."

Zhang Shenxing looked bitter.

"Haha, Yun Pei is so upright and heroic, how could he not know how to advance and retreat in the face of the general situation in the court?"

Seeing that Zhang Shenxing was feeling a little embarrassed, Bai Qingying stood up and helped him out with a chuckle.

"hehe."

Hearing this, Gengzhi knew that it was a boast, but he still smiled knowingly, bowed to Bai Qingying and said:

"Meet Madam."

"No need to be so polite." Bai Qingying just stretched out her hand and gave a light support.

"Mr. Zhang, this is a big case. The number of officials implicated is at least this many." As he spoke, Gengzhi pointed with his finger:

"Do you think I dare to do anything? Besides, Commander Lu was left at the border, but he is not dead. It would only take a finger to kill me. Do you think I am as unclear about the situation as Li Zhen in the court?"

When Gengzhi mentioned Li Zhen, a gleam of pity flashed in his eyes.

In his eyes, Li Zhen is already a dead man.

He didn't know anything else, he just knew that Commander Lu killed the demon king of the demon clan without hesitation. How dare you, a civil servant who is just a high-ranking official in the court, touch Commander Lu's family? ?
Isn't this the old man who eats arsenic to live longer?
"hehe."

The moment Gengzhi appeared, Bai Qingying already had an idea in her mind. She slowly stood up and saluted to the two of them:
"Since Geng Yunpei has said so, I am relieved. Please support your husband for a month. After a month, there will be an explanation for this case."

"rest assured!"

Zhang Shenxing and Gengzhi patted their chests with a loud bang.

After Bai Qingying left, Zhang Shenxing and Geng Zhi looked at each other, and Geng Zhi slapped his forehead:
"Find two brothers to secretly escort Madam Bai back home. Now is a time of trouble."

"it is good!"

A solemn look flashed across Zhang Shenxing's face, and he walked out directly.

Bai Qingying walked on the street, and the worry in her heart slowly settled down.

He knew that with Pei Yinlang and his husband's subordinates around, his uncle's safety was at least temporarily guaranteed.

But my husband still has to come back within a month.

If I don’t come back, I’m afraid my uncle will be in danger.

But that was not something she could decide.

Just as she was moving slowly forward, a bright light suddenly flashed.

Bai Qingying became alert, although she was caught off guard, but after all, she had practiced martial arts for many years and had a sense of it in her heart. She retreated suddenly without any hesitation.

"Shh!"

A dart flew straight into the ground from where she was just now.

This is……

Bai Qingying's face tightened.

This is for your own life!!!
After this thought came to her mind, her eyes were fixed on the ambush on the street.

Several figures flashed between the walls. Before I could see them clearly, I felt a chill on my neck again.

"Shhh!!"

Bai Qingying jumped up again and dodged to the side.

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

Three crossbow arrows flashing with cold light pierced straight into the position where she had just been.

There was a faint green light flashing on the crossbow arrow.

It was obviously poisoned.

The next moment, those figures rushed straight towards her without hesitation.

The knife flashed past and Bai Qingying had no choice but to dodge.

When she came out, she did not bring her own weapon.

And judging by the power of these people, they may have already entered the sixth rank! !

In just three breaths, Bai Qingying had been in danger several times.

"Stab!"

The knife had already slid down his waist, cutting a huge gash on her body.

The blood flowed slowly down her waist.

Bai Qingying looked defeated, the pain in her waist was so severe that it couldn't reach her abdomen. She might have had a miscarriage during those few times of dodging! !

Thinking of this, her heart sank.

……

In the residence of Prime Minister Li Zhen.

Two voices sounded slowly.

"When my subordinates went to pick him up, Pei Yinlang had already taken him away. Pei Yinlang, we can't get in and pick him up."

"The three courts will hold the trial soon. They will keep him in custody for a month at most. After a month, they have to hand him over to us. But a month is still a bit long. If we delay, something bad may happen."

"Then make some noise and lure Pei Yinlang's men away."

"What's the noise?"

"Who did you say died, Pei Yinlang would mobilize all his forces?"
