After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

Chapter 472 A Clue That Isn't a Clue

Jiang Xiaoqi did not go to the Hanlin Academy; he had his steward go to the roll call office to ask for leave on his behalf.

However, of course, I can't really rest at home, since there's still a "living thing" in the study.

Before waking someone up, eliminate the potential threat of suicide.

Then they tie each other up, feed them some "truth water," and then just wait for the other person to come to their senses.

After eating breakfast calmly, Jiang Xiaoqi took a short nap.

When they opened their eyes again, the only remaining man in black had finally woken up.

The man's first instinct was indeed to bite open the venom sac, but after biting for a while, he realized that his teeth were empty.

"Don't bother, it's already taken out. You assassins really have no creativity at all."

They only have one or two ways to hide drugs, how can they not be countered?

Oh, right, there's something I've always been curious about. For those of you who hide your venom sacs in the gaps between your teeth, do you have particularly high requirements for the gaps between your teeth?

After all, if the gap between your teeth is too small, it won't fit, and if the gap is too big, it will easily fall out. Or are your venom sacs custom-made, oh no, custom-made to fit your teeth?

So what do you do when you eat? Don't you ever accidentally bite into something? What if you bite into it, wrap it in rice, and eat it all, dying instantly? My God! Wouldn't that be a really unjust death?!

There's a word for speechless, and the man in black, now bound like a rice dumpling, is speechless to the extreme.

What kind of official is this?! He's just a chatterbox!

She's fair-skinned and pretty, so why is she so talkative?

Seeing the man in black looking speechless, Jiang Xiaoqi wasn't annoyed. She smiled and patted his shoulder, "Alright, alright, enough joking around, let's get down to business!"

To be honest, I took advantage of your vulnerability and when you were unconscious to give you the truth.

"Now you can only tell the truth and obediently answer my questions, and I can guarantee your survival. Oh, no, if you're determined to die, I can guarantee your death."

"Who sent you?"

The man in black's expression changed. He tried to cover his mouth with his hands, which had involuntarily opened, but found that his hands were tightly bound behind his back.

At the same time, his mouth involuntarily uttered, "It is... the Fifth Prince!"

"My God, my God! You truly are a well-trained assassin. You're the only one I've ever seen who can still spout nonsense even after drinking the truth-telling water. Amazing, truly amazing!"

Blood trickled from the corner of the bound assassin's mouth; he was clearly biting his own tongue.

"Hey! That's stubborn enough!"

Jiang Xiaoqi stepped forward to apply pressure to stop the bleeding, and at the same time gave the assassin another pill. This pill was not poisonous, but it was so potent that the person would not even have the strength to bite their tongue and commit suicide.

"Sigh~ In a sense, you are all rare talents. Why do you have to be accomplices to evil and live your whole lives as tools in this world?"

A look of confusion flashed in the eyes of the assassins. Talented people? These shady characters were actually being called talented?!

This top scholar Jiang must have gone mad from studying too much; people like him can only live in the shadows.

Making tools and weapons was their destiny.

"Actually, I can give you some more truth water. You don't have the strength to commit suicide right now, so it would be easy to get you to talk."

I roughly know how you were raised from a young age. You've already endured so much hardship, and you must have successfully completed quite a few tasks over the years, right?

Even if there is a great debt of gratitude, it should be repaid by now. If you are not following your master for money, why not keep the rest of your life for yourself? This is not betraying your master.

After all, your accomplices have already been taken away by the Prince of Xuan Nan. You can probably imagine what their fate will be.

Soon after, the Prince of Xuannan will report the capture of several unnamed assassins; whether there are seven or eight makes no difference.

Jiang Xiaoqi had no shortage of truths; he was just curious about how this person had been cultivated into someone with such a strong will.

He could get the answer by forcing him to tell the truth, but he wanted to try other paths. Anyway, he had taken the day off and had plenty of time.

The assassin remained silent for a long time, the struggle in his eyes gradually fading, and he slowly spoke: "You're right, all these years I've risked my life for others, and I've never lived for myself."

Jiang Xiaoqi's eyes lit up; she knew there was hope.

"Actually, we don't know who the mastermind is. We only follow the orders of one person, who appears in a different guise each time. We have no idea which face is his real face. So his true identity is truly unknown."

Jiang Xiaoqi frowned. "Oh ho! So, it's a friend who can disguise himself..."

However, I didn't expect that this clue would be a dead end. It's not that the clue was broken, but it's just hard to find a way to follow it.

"However, before each operation, we will meet at a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city. If you have time, you can go and take a look; there may be clues there."

Also, before each gathering, the wine shop in the east of the city would buy a wine called "Charming Matchmaker," which was exclusive to that shop.

A dilapidated temple? A liquor store? Even if there were any clues, they'd probably been wiped out. These assassins are really foolishly risking their lives for others…

Jiang Xiaoqi stepped forward and untied the assassin's restraints. "Go, go live your own life."

The assassin was stunned, somewhat unable to believe that the person in front of him would keep his word.

If they were their master, even if they achieved their goal, they would leave no survivors.

After all, only by eliminating the root of the problem can we prevent future troubles!

"What? Don't want to leave? I can treat you to lunch~"

"No need, I... I just don't have the strength to stand up yet..."

Jiang Xiaoqi suddenly realized that he had just given the person a "weakness pill," and it would take several hours for the effects of the drug to wear off.

There was an antidote, but it required five points, which was several times more expensive than the "Weakness Pill," so Jiang Xiaoqi was reluctant to spend the money.

Haha~ Anyway, the effects of the medicine will wear off in a few hours, so why waste five points?

Jiang Xiaoqi, who already has a seven-figure score, still cares a lot about this small amount of money. No wonder he is the only grandson of a landlord family for generations!

Someone who survived years of being a suicide squad member is definitely not a fool; how could he not guess that Jiang Xiaoqi had the antidote?

"My lord, I know several places where the master hides things. I can tell you all of them in exchange for curing this poison."

how is it? "

Jiang Xiaoqi didn't want to admit that she was greedy, but wouldn't it be foolish to refuse everything right in front of her?!

"Things or not aren't important. What I really want is for you to get better soon and start your new life as soon as possible!"

Death Soldier: (●—●) I believe you~
