When Kou Ji returned to the house, he went to interrogate the female assassin.
Accompanied by two servants, Kou Ji entered the woodshed.
When the female assassin saw Kou Ji, she gritted her teeth and stared at him without saying a word.
Her eyes were bloodshot, as if she had as much hatred as Kou Ji.
Kou Ji was condescending and asked: "Why assassinate me?"
The female assassin stared at him and said in a hoarse voice: "Because you deserve to die!"
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Even if I die, there must be a reason."
The female assassin stared at him without saying a word, as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes.
"Young Master, you won't be able to get anything out of this question. It's better to leave it to the villain for questioning. The villain will know some interrogation methods and keep it safe so that she can explain why she assassinated you."
The servant on the side licked his face and said.
Another servant added: "The villain brothers have been involved in prisons before and tried many people."
Kou Ji glanced at them and said calmly: "Then I'll leave it to you."
Kou Ji said that he would personally interrogate this female assassin, but that did not mean that he would personally punish her and ask questions from her mouth.
He just can't trust others.
Now that Kou Zhun has given him the power in the government, he can also instruct the people in the government. Naturally, there is no need to do it himself.
"Young Master, please go and have a rest first. The villain's interrogation methods are a bit unsightly, and I'm afraid it will stain your eyes."
Kou Ji nodded and left the woodshed.
As soon as he went out, he heard a shrill scream.
The two servants did not ask questions first, but went directly to the execution.
They have interrogated many people and know something about human nature.
Most people don't shed tears until they see the coffin. Only when you make them feel pain will they be afraid of you.
Kou Ji did not leave the yard where the woodshed was, but stayed outside the yard, listening to the wailing in the woodshed, and waited quietly.
Kou Ji will never have any mercy for a person who wants to kill him.
The wailing in the woodshed lasted for a full hour.
An hour later, two servants appeared outside the woodshed covered in blood.
Kou Ji said calmly: "Did you ask?"
The two servants nodded at the same time.
One of the servants said: "After asking, she is a female crown. The Taoist temple she is in is called Shouyang Temple. Earlier, the imperial court conferred the title of Imperial Master, and their Taoist priests from Shouyang Temple were invited to attend the ceremony. After entering the palace, none of them
Didn't go back.
Through her beauty, she seduced several Forbidden Army soldiers who had been temporarily transferred to the palace earlier, and got the news about the palace from their mouths.
After she learned that all the Taoists in the temple were dead, she had the idea of revenge.
It's just that she couldn't enter the palace and couldn't seek revenge from the officials, so she set her sights on you."
Kou Ji sighed and said, "Chen Lin is right. Secrets cannot be hidden in the palace."
Kou Ji looked at the two servants and reminded: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about this."
"The villain understands!"
The servant added: "Young Master, I also got another piece of news from her mouth. She has already passed the news of the death of the Taoists in the palace back to the Taoist ancestral court, and also told you the news that this matter is related to you.
It was also passed back together."
Kou Ji's expression changed and a fierce light appeared in his eyes, "Strangle her to death and throw her into the Jinshui River to feed the bastard."
The two servants looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "I understand, little man."
Kou Ji shook off his sleeves and robe and walked out.
Walking outside the courtyard, he summoned a servant and said, "Go and ask Kou Zhong to meet me in Sijun Garden."
Kou Ji returned to Sijun Garden, dismissed Erbao who rushed towards him, and sat in the garden with a gloomy face.
After a long time, Kou Zhong appeared in Sijun Garden.
"Young Master, what's the important thing for you to call this old servant?"
Kou Zhong bowed and asked.
Kou Ji ordered: "Select some people with strong martial arts skills in your house. From today on, they will follow me every step of the way."
Kou Zhong's brows twitched and he said in a deep voice, "Has the young master interrogated the female assassin?"
Kou Ji nodded.
Kou Zhong frowned, "She is not the first one, maybe there are many assassins behind?"
Kou Ji nodded again.
Kou Zhong asked again: "Do you want to tell the master?"
Kou Ji frowned and said, "You don't need to tell anyone about this, you just need to follow my instructions."
"Old servant understands."
Kou Zhong bowed his hands and exited the Sijun Garden.
A few moments later, eight middle-aged people appeared in Sijun Garden.
They were wearing the same clothes as ordinary servants, but their rugged appearance was difficult to conceal.
When they saw Kou Ji, they didn't show any groveling, they just bowed their hands stiffly, as if they had met him.
Kou Ji looked at them and said in a deep voice: "How are your skills?"
The leader among them was a man with a scarred face. He stared at Kou Ji and said calmly: "How skilled our brothers are, young master, just try it and you will know."
Kou Ji nodded, "Okay, come with me out of the house."
Kou Ji refused Er Bao's following and left the Kou Mansion with eight servants.
Kou Ji did not hide his whereabouts along the way, but walked on the street openly.
They even go to crowded places.
Kou Ji was welcomed into the palace by Yu Long Zhi before. Many people in Bianjing saw him at that time.
During the period when he entered the palace, his identity had already been dug out by the people in Bianjing City.
So many people recognized him.
News about Kou Ji spread out in an instant.
What surprised Kou Ji was that no one assassinated him again.
Kou Ji, instead of feeling happy, frowned even more.
He had been wandering around Bianjing City for most of the day. Those who wanted to assassinate him must have gotten the news.
They did not take action to assassinate Kou Ji, only for two reasons.
One is fear of Kou Ji's identity and fear of Kou Ji's grandfather who was the prime minister.
They were afraid that after assassinating Koji, they would encounter a more violent counterattack.
The second is that they have a deeper plan.
If it was the former, Kou Ji would be more relieved.
If it was the latter, Kou Ji would have to make preparations in advance.
Kou Ji wandered the streets until dusk, but was not assassinated.
He frowned and returned to the house.
After returning to the mansion, he asked Kou Zhong to recruit the craftsmen from the mansion.
He gave instructions to the craftsmen and helped him make a set of close-fitting soft armor, two short crossbows, and a straight knife.
The craftsmen in Kou's house can be considered top craftsmen, but when they got the drawings given by Kou Ji and started using the materials list, they were stunned for a long time.
The ten masters and apprentices studied the drawings issued by Kou Ji for a long time, but they could not figure out how to get started.
Finally, under the guidance of Kou Ji, they started production.
The craftsmen worked all night, but Kou Ji went to bed early.
The next morning.
As soon as Kou Ji woke up, Kou Zhong hurried to Kou Ji's room.
"Young Master, the master is back from the palace."
Kou Zhong had a look of anxiety on his face, which made Kou Ji's heart skip a beat.
He quickly got up, dressed neatly, and went to the main hall.
