I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Gu Ming deliberately held the green bottle and shook it in front of the poisonous lady, but refused to give it to her.

The poisonous lady couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

Half of it is poisonous hair, and the other half is angry.

She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of pain. Once the poison takes hold, it is like thousands of poisonous insects biting her body. Few people can bear this kind of pain.

"I beg you"

"What's the hurry, you can still resist for a while. Just in time, you also taste the pain of the person you poisoned."

"puff!"

The poisonous lady spit out another mouthful of black blood.

"If you want an antidote, tell me quickly."

With such a good opportunity to extract a confession, how could Gu Ming easily let her take the antidote?

"My lord, I didn't lie to you, we really don't know who the other party is, Sancunding has evidence on him"

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but stepped forward, searched Sancunding's body for a while, and found a secret letter.

This letter is very special. It is not handwritten, but a splicing of words cut from a book.

The above briefly introduced Gu Ming's situation, and asked the four to kill them halfway, and the reward was 5000 taels of silver.

With such a generous reward, no wonder the four of them are tempted

Chapter 2 Find out the culprit, I will definitely punish his nine clans!

After that, Gu Ming interrogated the other two fake employees separately, and finally confirmed that they did not know the real identity of the employer.

This is not surprising.

There is a rather delicate relationship between killers and employers.

They often don't meet each other, but communicate through special ways.

Including remuneration is also through an intermediary, or is deposited by the employer to a place designated by the killer.

After all, both sides are invisible.

Most of the well-known killers in the Jianghu are only known by their names, but they don't know their people.

After repeated cross-examination, there were really no clues, so Gu Ming had no choice but to give up.

Of course, it is impossible to spare the four poisonous ladies. Since the action failed, they should be punished as they should.

Gu Ming is now an official appointed by the court, so he naturally doesn't want to do it himself, so let the government do it.

As for the four insiders, I don't know who they are, so Gu Ming can only investigate by himself.

Not long after, Gu Ming returned to the inn.

First counted the people, there were quite a few guards, but they were still limp on the ground.

Pang Li's foundation was better, and he barely supported himself and sat at the table.

"My lord, it's great that you're fine, yes, it's a dereliction of duty."

"It's okay, it's nothing more than a few jumping clowns. That's right, this is the antidote for the poisonous lady. Just smell it and it will cure the poison."

Gu Ming shook the bottle in his hand, walked to Pang Li and handed it over.

"Thank you sir"

Pang Li stretched out his hand.

The next moment, the whole person's momentum suddenly changed, and a dagger with blue light appeared in his hand, which was obviously quenched with poison, and stabbed towards Gu Ming.

The two are very close, almost next to each other.

In such a short distance, it can be said that the probability of success is extremely high, after all, in the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

"clang"

There was a bang and a metallic sound from the inn.

Gu Ming didn't move, but Pang Li's body flew upside down, smashing a small table in the shop.

At such a scene, the other guards who were limp on the ground could not help but turn pale with fright, and their minds were in chaos.

"puff"

On the ground, Pang Li spat out another mouthful of blood, struggled to stand up, and looked coldly at Gu Ming who was walking slowly.

"Captain Pang, don't you want to explain?"

"If you lose, you lose. What is there to explain?"

Pang Li's attitude was quite arrogant.

"Well, it seems that you are the key to this assassination plan, both an internal response and a hidden killing move.

In case those four guys fail, you'll make up for it again."

While speaking, Gu Ming subconsciously glanced at the dagger on the ground: "You really have put in all your effort, the poison on this dagger is probably a strange poison, even if you don't stab it to death, you will die from the poisonous gas.

But this officer is very curious, you were ordered to escort this officer, even if you get away with it in the end, you will have to bear the blame, maybe you will implicate your family who gave you the confidence to assassinate this officer? "

"Without further ado!"

Pang Li was still stubborn.

"It seems that you are really not afraid of death. In fact, when I first arrived at the inn, I already had doubts about you.

Those two guys did a good job of pretending, but with your background and eyesight, wouldn't you be able to see the slightest clue?

When you entered the inn, you acted deliberately, you spared no effort to show your loyalty, and repeatedly reminded the officer that this is a black shop.

Afterwards, the poisonous lady pretended to do something, and you stopped it in time

All of these are nothing more than to let the officer eliminate his suspicion of you, so that you can continue to lurk in the future or assassinate from behind when the officer is not prepared."

"Master Gu, don't waste your efforts, and don't try to impress me or scare me, I can afford to lose!"

"Then I want to see how tough you really are!"

Gu Ming's figure flashed, he grabbed Pang Li's neck, and said coldly: "Say, who sent you here?"

"No one sent Lao Tzu"

When he said this, black blood suddenly gushed out of Pang Li's mouth.

Seeing this, Gu Ming was startled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to seal the guy's blood, so as not to attack the heart with poisonous gas.

But, it didn't work at all.

This guy didn't know what kind of poison he was poisoned, and his whole body began to fester at a speed visible to the naked eye

Not long after, it turned into a puddle of foul-smelling liquid.

Gu Ming stepped back, frowning.

It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes is not simple, and there are such strange and vicious methods.

It seems that Pang Li knows a little bit about the inside story, but unfortunately there are no bones left.

Three of the four poisonous ladies survived, but they didn't know the inside story, they only knew how to kill people with money.

After thinking for a while, Gu Ming lazily thought about it, took out the antidote and walked towards the other guards.

What he gave Pang Li before was actually not an antidote, it was just an empty bottle.

The remaining five guards should not be fully trusted, but the chances of responding internally are extremely small. After all, these guards are not experts. Naturally, the less people know about such a secret, the better.

After hearing the antidote, the five guards regained their spirits. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gu Ming in fright: "My lord, spare me, I really don't know that Captain Pang dared to assassinate you!"

"We really don't know about this matter, and I hope your lord will find out."

"Okay, let's all get up and search carefully separately to see if there are any corpses in the inn."

"Yes, my lord!"

After searching for a while, sure enough, five corpses were found in the pile of hay in the corridor of the inn.

Among them are four men and one woman, who must be the owner and the old lady of the inn, as well as the staff and the guests staying in the inn.

"Boom boom boom!"

As soon as it was dawn, the drum at the gate of the county government office was knocked.

The muffled sound of drums spread to the inner courtyard, waking up the sweet magistrate Lei who was still sleeping.

"It's really annoying, who came to complain early in the morning?"

The woman lying on the side grunted dissatisfiedly and pulled the quilt over her head.

"Hmph, I want to see which thug is so bold!"

County magistrate Lei angrily turned over and got out of bed.

"My lord, my lord, there are drums outside"

"Understood, you go to the hall first, master, I will be there later"

Not long after, County Magistrate Lei walked to the hall with a sullen face and the sleepy-eyed master.

In the courtroom, several yamen servants yawned, obviously not getting enough sleep.

"Hey, whoever beats the drum, bring it to the court for this official!"

Two of the yamen servants gloated and glanced outside the courtroom.

Everyone could see that the county magistrate was full of displeasure, and they didn't know who was so unlucky that a killing might was inevitable.

Following the shout, Gu Ming walked into the courtroom with square steps

"Uh?"

All the yamen servants were a little dumbfounded.

Is this the master Juren?

No, it doesn't look like the clothes of the master Juren, could it be the master Jinshi?

Who wanted to kill Wei Bang just now?

Sitting in the hall, the angry magistrate Lei was startled, stood up hastily, and cupped his hands at Gu Ming: "I am the magistrate of this county, I wonder who you are?"

Gu Ming took a few steps forward, took off the badge on his waist and held it up.

Master took a closer look, his legs couldn't help but soften

"I didn't know Master Gu was coming, but the villain was far away to welcome me!"

At the same time, County Magistrate Lei also stared wide-eyed, and quickly ran down, bowing in cold sweat, "Your Majesty, Lei Laifu, see you, my lord."

"Free gift!"

"Thank you sir!"

The yamen servants on both sides of the sub-station finally came to their senses, and hurriedly saluted one by one.

"My lord doesn't know why my lord beat the drums?"

County magistrate Lei was very upset, and asked cautiously.

"Last night, my official was assassinated"

"thump!"

County magistrate Lei couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.

How could he not be afraid?

The dignified number one scholar in the new discipline, the fifth-rank minister of the emperor's imperial examination, was assassinated in his jurisdiction. Can he get away with it?

If something happened, the imperial court would definitely take him to the capital for questioning.

"grown ups"

Several yamen servants hurried forward to help.
