Chapter 637: Capturing the Assassin
Chapter 637: Capturing the Assassin
Ah San was silent, but he didn't say anything in the end. He knew that once Jiang Youzhen entered the officialdom, he would no longer be the young man he used to be.
And judging from the way Jiang Youzhen plotted against his uncle, he has never been a good man.
After coming out of the house, Jiang Youzhen did not go directly to the entrance of the alley, but kept walking in the alley. After he found that no one was following him, he changed into an outer garment and walked towards the market outside.
At the hour of Xu, the curfew was about to begin, Jiang Youzhen changed into his night clothes and set out.
It was just getting dark, and except for the brothels, every household had closed their doors and turned off the lights.
A black shadow jumped nimbly on the roof and landed silently on the tiles like a fallen leaf.
Jiang Youzhen took a deep breath, jumped and landed on the roof of another house.
After repeating this process over and over again, she soon arrived at the rooftop not far from Asan's house in Tongluo Lane. She began to lie in wait, quietly watching what was happening over there.
The night is as cool as water, and in this quiet darkness, the sound of insects gradually rises.
Ah San, who was waiting in the house, was a little absent-minded. He frowned and walked quickly to the window. He wanted to push the window open a little and look out, but after thinking for a moment, he withdrew his hand.
Jiang Youzhen said that he would give the signal after the matter was resolved, and they must not go out before that.
"Third brother, can the young master really solve it?" Jiang Yi was a little worried.
"Young Master's martial arts are so powerful, I guarantee that those people will never come back." Jiang Li has absolute confidence in Jiang Youzhen. If they can't even deal with Jiang Youzhen, it will be pointless for them to go out, and it will also increase the risk of being exposed.
"Don't talk and wait for good news." Asan thought it was a bit noisy and stopped them.
Jiang Youzhen stayed on the roof for a long time, but didn't see any movement around him. It was past curfew, and when Ah San and the others left later, they had to be careful, otherwise they would run into patrolling soldiers and get into trouble again.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Youzhen suddenly spotted a dark figure sneaking in from the alley entrance. She could see at night, so she could see it clearly.
Finally it came, she was almost impatient waiting.
Soon, another person flew over from another roof. He stopped on the roof of the small courtyard and looked around. Jiang Youzhen quickly hid his body.
The man blew a bird's call towards the black shadow below. The sound was not loud, but the person below should have received the signal and quickly climbed over the wall into the yard.
Jiang Youzhen sneered. She had originally separated the two people because she was afraid that if she couldn't attack at the same time, one of them would run away. Now it was just right.
The man above carefully lifted a tile and then looked down. At this moment, a short sharp arrow struck him instantly.
The man was startled, as if he heard a sound of breaking through the air. However, it was too late. Before he could do anything, he felt something blocking his throat, and warm liquid flowed down his collar.
He soon lost consciousness and fell flat on the roof.
The person below was still waiting for movement from above. He took a few steps back and wanted to look up to see why the other party didn't issue any orders, but he didn't expect that a cold wind blew the next moment, and a strange smell entered his nose, and he soon lost consciousness.
Jiang Youzhen looked at the people lying on the ground and sneered. It seemed that they were just two minions and could not withstand a single blow.
"Come out! Tie this man up and bring him into the house for interrogation," she said softly.
Ah San and the others finally put their minds at ease when they heard Jiang Youzhen's voice. When they opened the door, they found a man in black lying in the yard, and Jiang Youzhen was also dressed in night clothes.
"There is another one that needs to be brought down." Jiang Youzhen jumped onto the roof, first covered the tiles on the roof with a towel, and then brought down the assassin who was killed by the sword.
When Jiang Youzhen returned to the house, he saw that the man was taken to the cellar. There was a cellar below here, which was dug by Ah San and his friends for escape.
They carried the corpse down to the cellar and found that the assassin who had been drugged had woken up. He was tied to a chair with a rag stuffed in his mouth.
"What should we do now?" Asan was a little confused. They usually only gathered information, so how could they have ever interrogated people?
"Of course he was tortured." Jiang Youzhen was afraid that if he took out the cloth strip, the man would scream and shout, so he thought of torturing him first to make him feel scared.
Then threaten them again, and those with weak wills will definitely confess.
Unexpectedly, when he heard that he was going to be tortured, his eyes widened with fear. He made a humming sound, as if he was anxious to speak.
He stared at his companion, who was already dead on the ground with his eyes wide open, and his legs were shaking with fear. He thought he was just following to get information, but he didn't expect that he would fail and was caught by the man in front of him.
Although this person was masked, his voice showed that he was not very old. Who could have thought that such a person could be so cruel and merciless, and his first move was a killing move.
He had no doubt that if he did not confess, this man would show no mercy and would soon send him to join his companions.
"This? What can we use to torture him?" Ah San was immediately at a loss. He couldn't do this! Besides, he didn't have any instruments of torture, so how could he torture him?
Jiang Youzhen suddenly took out a whip from behind him and said, "Don't panic, I brought it with me."
As she spoke, she swung it in mid-air, and the sound of it breaking through the air frightened the man so much that his legs trembled. Soon, the air was filled with the smell of urine.
"What's that smell?" Jiang Li frowned, and suddenly found that there was a large wet spot on the man's crotch.
Jiang Youzhen was a little disappointed. The person in front of him didn't look like well-trained and didn't seem to be a big fish.
"Do you want to confess first, or do you want to taste the whip first?" Jiang Youzhen walked towards the man with a whip.
This person was so scared that his forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were full of pleading, "Woo woo woo!"
"Then I'll give you one chance." Jiang Youzhen said as he pulled the rag out of his mouth.
The man breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when he was whipped and let out a whine.
"You still dare to shout?"
Then another whip came at him, and the man gasped in pain. This time he didn't dare to make a sound and could only grit his teeth and endure it.
It was a lack of martial ethics! He had clearly promised him that he would not be whipped as long as he did not scream. But he was whipped twice before he even opened his mouth.
Fortunately, after two whippings, it stopped.
Seeing that he performed well, Jiang Youzhen continued to ask: "Tell me! Who sent you here, and what is your purpose?"
The man took two breaths before saying, "I don't know who my master is."
Seeing Jiang Youzhen picking up the whip again, he quickly said, "I really don't know! I'm just an outpost to gather information. I just follow the mission given by the superiors. No matter why, this is the rule."
"Who is the person who is meeting you? What task is given to you?" asked Asan.
