On the wedding night, the prince asked me to see an andrologist

Chapter 508 Is that all?

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the two of them deliberately distanced themselves from each other, maintaining a speed that would neither lead them to lose nor be discovered.

Ning Muqing lowered her voice and said, "These people don't come here for no reason in the middle of the night. They must have something inconvenient to see people. Now that the matter is done, they are probably going to return to their stronghold. Let's follow them, just in time to see where they are hiding. where."

"Yeah." Chu Lixuan thought the same way.

After a pause, he asked, "What did you want to say before?"

Ning Muqing was slightly startled, but then realized that Chu Lixuan was asking about what she had left unfinished after being interrupted.

"It's not important, we'll talk about it later."

Chu Lixuan glanced at her sideways, and then said after a while, "Okay."

The two men in black followed the man in black and passed through almost half of Ping'an Town. After taking many detours, the two men in black walked into a large courtyard and quietly entered the back door.

"boom!"

As soon as we entered, the back door was immediately closed.

The surroundings became quiet.

Chu Lixuan and Ning Muqing stood in the shadow of an alley not far from the house.

Ning Muqing slowly frowned and looked at the house, which looked like it was no ordinary house. "Is this their destination? There seems to be quite a lot of people in such a big house. Do you want to follow up and have a look?"

With Chu Lixuan's ability, it is certainly not difficult to sneak in.

But now, they still don't know who the man in black is and whether his purpose is related to Chen Guo. They approach rashly and are afraid of alerting the enemy.

Chu Lixuan also looked at the house.

The disguise on his face was still there, the sharp brow bones cast shadows, and there was a cold light like ice in his eyes.

"Do you know whose house this is?"

Ning Muqing was slightly surprised, "I just arrived in Ping'an Town and I haven't asked about it, you know?"

Chu Lixuan said in a cold tone, "This is the residence of the county magistrate of Ping'an Town."

"County town?" Ning Muqing thought and thought quickly, "I heard before that the caravan from Chen State is said to be distant relatives of the county magistrate, and they stay at the county magistrate's house every year. Could it be that..."

Are these two men in black related to Chen Guo’s caravan?
Chu Lixuan sneered when he heard this.

“Just go in and take a look and you’ll find out!”

Chu Lixuan, who was very skilled in martial arts, took Ning Muqing all the way in and lurked in. At a glance, he saw the house with lights on and the doors and windows closed.

The two sneaked over quietly.

However, there was no sound in the room, and the two people seemed to disappear out of thin air, and no trace could be found again.

Ning Muqing was certain that these people were related to the people who attacked her underwater a few days ago.

There is also something wrong with these caravans.

If there is really something wrong with the caravan, it is impossible for the county magistrate Yan Fugui to know nothing about it.

Even if he was not involved, at least he was an informed person! "

She and Chu Lixuan sneaked in quietly. Even if they found something wrong with the caravan, they couldn't just rush in and arrest people for questioning.

After all, if you catch an adulterer, you will become a couple, and if you are a thief, you will get the stolen goods.

The stolen goods haven't appeared yet and the caravan has done nothing, so it would be useless to catch them.

And who knows if they have anyone else secretly?

Just like Chu Lixuan and the fourth prince, one is doing it openly and the other is doing it covertly. The caravan may also be playing the same trick. If it cannot eradicate the tentacles in the dark together, it will be no different than letting the tiger return to the mountain!

Ning Muqing figured this out in an instant, and she simply asked, "Where is Yan Fugui? Go directly to him!"

Chu Lixuan saw her looking like she was striking while the iron was hot, and the corners of his lips curled up, "It's in this courtyard."

This is Yan Fugui’s residence!
What are you waiting for?
The two men immediately started searching around the house without hesitation.

The bedroom was quiet and dark, the owner had already gone to bed.

Chu Lixuan opened the door latch silently, and Ning Muqing stepped in sideways and saw someone lying on the bed at a glance.

Ning Muqing stepped forward and put the dagger at his throat!
"do not move!"

Yan Fugui immediately stiffened, "..."

Chu Lixuan closed the door with his backhand. The light in the room was extremely dark. He walked towards the bed and looked down at Yan Fugui, who was wearing underwear and being held hostage by Ning Muqing, with cold eyes.

The position where Chu Lixuan stood was facing the moonlight outside the window. Yan Fugui couldn't see his face clearly, and Ning Muqing, who was holding him hostage, had her face covered, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

He forced himself to calm down and asked, "Who are you? You are so brave, you dare to break into my house at night!"

Ning Muqing laughed, with a cold voice, "Master Yan, I have my knife on your neck, what else is there to be so bold about?"

Yan Fugui was stunned, she was actually a woman? !
The cold sweat on Yan Fugui's forehead slowly fell, "Who are you? Why are you here with me?"

Ning Muqing chuckled, "Don't be nervous, we are not asking for your life, we just want to ask you some little things."

"what's up?"

"About the Chen Guo caravan..."

Ning Muqing deliberately lowered her voice and paused mid-sentence.

She immediately noticed that Yan Fugui's breathing was tightening. Under close observation, his pupils shrank instinctively and his eyes were dark.

But, just for a moment.

Yan Fugui asked with an ugly face, "Are you here for the caravan's money?" "Money?" Ning Muqing said with a slight sneer, "Master Yan is joking, you should know better than anyone why we are here, right?" ?”

Yan Fugui, "I..."

Ning Muqing interrupted directly, "It's about the things bought and sold by Chen's caravan! And the purpose of these people coming to Zhou."

Yan Fugui's expression suddenly changed, "..."

He denied it flatly, "What is the transaction and what is the purpose? I don't know!"

"I haven't finished speaking yet, Master Yan denied it too quickly."

Ning Muqing half-smiled, "I heard that Chen Guo's caravan had a big business with astonishing profits in Ping'an Town. They made a lot of money every year, which made people jealous! Does the county magistrate know that they do What's the business?"

Yan Fugui said angrily, "I am only responsible for managing Ping'an Town. How do I know about this kind of thing?!"

"But the Chen Guo caravan has been staying in your house every year. Mr. Yan has taken a lot of benefits from it, right?" Ning Muqing narrowed her eyes and pushed forward with the dagger in her hand.

The blade cut through the flesh, leaving a faint blood line and a stinging sensation.

"We don't have much time. Master Yan, it's best to speak up quickly to avoid suffering!"

Yan Fugui's face turned even darker, "I really don't know. I never ask about business matters. How do I know the inside story?! You have found the wrong person!"

I didn’t expect this guy’s mouth to be quite tight.

Ning Muqing couldn't really lynch him even though the knife was on his neck and he was bitten to death.

At this time, Chu Lixuan, who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly said, "Your family is all in this house!"

Yan Fugui's expression changed, "..."

"What do you want to do?! If you dare to touch my wife, children, and children, I will never let you go!" Yan Fugui's face was livid, and he stared at him emotionally, as if he wanted to fight Chu Lixuan desperately.

Ning Muqing pressed the dagger to force him back.

Yan Fugui's neck was scratched, and blood flowed to his collar.

But he seemed to feel no pain, and gritted his teeth and said angrily, "My wife, children, and children don't know anything. If you dare to touch them, I will definitely fight you to the death!"

Ning Muqing raised her eyebrows slightly, but her heart was unmoved, only feeling ridiculed.

If the Chen Guo caravan living in Yan Fugui's private residence is really related to the water thieves.

Yan Fugui was involved. If not complicit, at least he was hiding it!

But if he has something to do with these water thieves, what is the crime of collaborating with the enemy?

The whole family was slaughtered!

Implicated nine tribes!

Now he looks worried about his family’s eyesight. Who can he show this to?
Of course.

It cannot be ruled out that Yan Fugui really doesn't know.

But as for him daring to keep Chen Guo's caravan at home, Ning Muqing was more inclined to believe that he was an insider.

do not forget.

Chen Guo and Zhou Guo have been feuding for hundreds of years.

As a court official, doesn't Yan Fugui even know this?
This logic itself cannot withstand scrutiny, and Chu Lixuan has actually discovered it a long time ago.

He said calmly and coldly, "If you don't want your family to die, tell everything you know! Otherwise, you will see the heads of your wife and daughter hanging on the door of your mansion early tomorrow morning!"

"You dare?!" Yan Fugui's eyes were about to burst and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Do you want to take a gamble? Give it a try?" Chu Lixuan's voice was cold, and his sharp and piercing eyes were particularly cold.

"..."

Yan Fugui's face was pale and cold sweat was falling down.

After a while, the resentful anger in his eyes subsided, "What do you want to ask? I said, don't hurt my daughter."

Ning Muqing asked, "What goods did Chen Guo's caravan trade with you?"

"It's jade raw material."

"You better tell the truth!"

Ning Muqing interrupted impatiently, and she said meaningfully, "Don't use the superficial cover to fool me!"

"..." Yan Fugui's pupils trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not lying to you, it's really just jade. It's just that Zhou State strictly controlled the export of jade, so this happened!"

Ning Muqing narrowed her eyes.

Yan Fugui spoke softer and quieter, and he lowered his head in despair, "It's just my fault that I'm obsessed with money. I was unprepared and fell into their trap at first. But I didn't expose it immediately after I found out. I already regretted it!

But the people in the caravan all wanted money rather than their lives. They threatened me, and if I dared not to do it, they would drag me to death. I had no choice, I was just a small county magistrate. "

Ning Muqing slowly frowned, feeling something was wrong.

Yan Fugui's reason makes sense.

From his explanation, it seemed that he did not know that the caravan was related to the group of water thieves, and thought that they were just smuggling jade to Chen State for resale and making profits from it.

And because he was greedy for money, he didn't expose it the first time. After that, he was forced to continue working. He wanted to quit but was threatened by the caravan.

It's hard to ride a tiger.

But, is it really just that?
