So at midnight that day, she took advantage of the darkness and quietly sneaked into Wu Zhi's residence outside the palace.
At this moment, Zhu Ziyao was still dressed the same as when she went in and out of the Tong Mansion the day before yesterday.
Wearing a tight-fitting night jacket and a black gauze scarf to cover her face.
But at this time, she held the dagger she had worn at her waist in her hand so that she could deal with emergencies at any time.
And the first situation Zhu Ziyao encountered was the door bolt in Wu Zhi's bedroom.
The door bolt has an all-wood structure, and the handle of the switch is also designed indoors.
Therefore, if an ordinary person wants to open the wooden door and enter the house, it will really take a lot of thinking.
But such a blockage, in front of Zhu Ziyao, is really just useless.
After all, this is what she eats. If she can't even open a wooden door...
Then she is really in the wrong profession.
But seeing Zhu Ziyao, she quickly inserted the dagger in her hand into the crack of the door.
Immediately afterwards, he used five slender fingers to move the door bolt inside the door through the dagger.
Only half an hour later, the wooden door was opened by Zhu Ziyao without any damage.
Inside the house, it was quiet and dark.
There was only a slight snore coming from the person on the bed subconsciously.
Such a scene immediately made Zhu Ziyao sigh secretly in her heart.
Oh, those two thousand taels of silver are really a good profit!
Such a job is not difficult at all in front of my aunt.
In the past, my sister always said that I was easily impulsive when things happened. If I didn't get rid of this bad habit, I would definitely suffer in the future.
But why didn’t I feel it?
Besides, the so-called caution is just to scare yourself.
In fact, many things in reality are far less difficult than imagined!
After I complete the task this time, I will take the two thousand taels of silver and buy myself a set of good-looking clothes.
Later, I bought another set for my sister.
After all, my sister has taken such good care of me over the years, which is quite hard.
By the way, I will take my sister with me to have some fun in the capital.
Zhu Ziyao was really happy when she thought about this.
While she was feeling happy, she did not forget about this mission.
But seeing her at this moment, holding the sheath in her left hand and holding the sword in her right hand, her feet moved forward and back, slowly advancing forward.
In just a few breaths, he walked to the bed.
But when he saw her, he turned his wrist slightly, and the sword pointed directly at the sleeping man's head.
Although the man had already turned his face towards the bed when he was sleeping soundly, the room was extremely dark at the moment, and it was difficult to see clearly what he looked like.
But after so many days of careful investigation, Zhu Ziyao had already confirmed that the eunuch named Wu Zhi lived in this room, and there was absolutely no mistake.
So at this moment, she didn't bother to confirm again.
Just when she was thinking about gently waking up the sleeping person on the bed, something strange happened suddenly!
First, there was an extremely sudden knock on the door from behind her.
When the two wooden doors hit the left and right walls, they emitted two very sharp impact sounds.
In the originally quiet room, such a noise suddenly appeared, which immediately startled Zhu Ziyao, who was looking quite nervous.
But as soon as she turned her head behind her, the person who had been sleeping soundly just now suddenly jumped out of bed.
Then with a sudden shake of his arms, he buckled the quilt that had previously been covering his body onto Zhu Ziyao's body.
Zhu Ziyao was immediately confused by these successive changes.
And when she tried her best to throw the quilt covering her body aside.
A thin man had already pressed the simple knife in his hand against Zhu Ziyao's neck.
Only then did Zhu Ziyao react.
I was plotted against myself!
At this moment, Zhu Ziyao was really depressed inside.
At the same time, she couldn't understand. She couldn't understand why she would fall into someone else's trap even though she had made such detailed preparations before.
Why is all of this happening?
Just when Zhu Ziyao was doubting her life, the person who had been lying on the bed and pretending to be asleep also sat up from the bed at this moment.
It turned out that this person was none other than Wang Dingliu, one of the two leaders who Wu Zhi stayed in the capital to investigate and collect information.
At this moment, Wang Dingliu's face looked extremely happy.
After all, he, Shi Qian, and all the brothers under his command all played an indispensable role in achieving today's results.
If it weren't for the intelligence work of these people, which was extremely good, then this woman might have succeeded today.
"Aren't you a very brave woman? How dare you touch my brother?"
And at this moment, the person holding a simple knife against Zhu Ziyao's neck was none other than Shi Qian, who was very good at flying over eaves and walking over walls.
"Yes, you don't even know who my brother is. How can you, a little girl, catch him so easily?"
Although Zhu Ziyao was extremely annoyed at this moment, she did not have a lot of arrogance as a person in the world.
"You two, don't make any noise. At this moment, since my aunt has fallen into the hands of you two, you can kill her or cut her into pieces as you please, and don't show off your words here!"
Shi Qian, who was holding a simple sword, looked stunned for a moment, and then he laughed jokingly:
"Yo!"
"This girl's behavior is really to my liking."
"It's really not easy for a mere prostitute like you to say such strong words when faced with life and death."
"But, regarding your life and death, the two of us can't decide. We have to ask my brother first."
"So this heroine, please move forward."
Zhu Ziyao sighed softly in her heart, and then followed Shi Qian and Wang Dingliu to the inner courtyard.
And what was Wu Zhi doing at this time?
Since he got the news a long time ago, he found another place for himself in advance.
Although this house is a little remote from his original residence, fortunately, the facilities in the house are quite complete.
At this moment, Wu Zhi was sitting on an old Taishi chair, sipping tea by himself.
At that time, Wang Dingliu and two others escorted Zhu Ziyao to Wu Zhi's room, and Wu Zhi couldn't help but praise him secretly in his heart.
