āIā¦ Iā¦ā The four men in black wished they could die right there and then.
However, they werenāt the kind of fanatical assassins who would take their own lives if their mission failed. They were skilled, hired mercenaries, not fanatics.
Given the chance, they all wanted to live. They could only follow the agonizing sensation, scratching and rubbing their bodies in desperation.
One of them, in unbearable pain, writhed and begged, āIāll talk! Iāll talk!ā
Liang Yi released the one in her grasp and went over to grab the other, asking, āFine, speak!ā
The man in black said, āIt wasā¦ it wasā¦ Du Gong from the Zheng Medical Hall who hired us to kill Liu Shimei!ā
Du Gong!
Liu Shimei raised an eyebrow. She thought, āThe play I staged that day with the porridge was meant to make Du Gong lose his composure and eventually fall into his own trap. As expected, my predictions were right. Butā¦ā
She glanced back at Huangfu Lingyao sitting on the masterās chair, his clothes stained with blood, his face slightly pale due to loss of blood. She regretted it deeply, thinking, āIf I had known that Lingyao would bear this consequence, I wouldnāt have done it this way!ā
Her heart was filled with guilt, but when Huangfu Lingyao saw her glance back at him, he immediately gave her a reassuring smile, as if to say, āWife, Iām fine.ā
In that moment, Liu Shimei felt a mess inside, a strong urge to cry overwhelming her.
In fact, this urge had begun when she was tending to his wounds in the carriage.
Meanwhile, Liang Yiās interrogation continued.
He slapped the man and demanded, āSo, what did Du Gong offer you that made you audacious enough to harm the people of my Liang family!ā
King Dun Yu was a royal prince, and Liu Shimei was the daughter of a high-ranking official. Attempting to harm them, the audacity! These men must have been insane to take on such a job!
The black-clad man stammered, āOn-on-onā¦e hundredā¦ hundredā¦ one hundred taelsā¦ā
Everyone was stunned.
Liang Weiās eyebrows, now streaked with white, shot up in surprise. He instinctively asked, āA hundred taels of gold coins?ā
The black-clad man trembled, his voice shaky, āNo no noā¦ a hundred taelsā¦ of silver coins!ā
Everyone,āā¦ā
Liu Shimei,āā¦ā
Her life was worth 100 silver coins?
She wanted to curse, to vent her frustration with a hearty expletive!
Seeing someone had already confessed, another black-clad man, fearing he might not be cured if he didnāt confess, hastily said, āGeneral, please calm down. We originally thought, four of us going to kill a young girl without any martial arts skills, and she even had a little fool with her, how hard could it be? So, each of us demanded 100 silver coins. It was our shortsightedness, our mistake!ā
Who would have thought this young girlās poison was so potent?!
āA total of 400 silver coins?ā Liu Shimei lightly chewed on these words, snorted coldly, and said, āThis Du Gong really underestimates me, doesnāt he?ā
All those titles of being the legitimate daughter of a prominent family, the granddaughter of the Liang family, they were just superficial. Even her identity as the Princess Consort of Dun Yu wasnāt worth much.
Butā¦
She was a doctor! These hands could save thousands of lives; she was invaluable!
Du Gong, himself a physician, wanted to buy her life with 400 silver coins!
That old man, she was determined to teach him a lesson!
Liang Yi let go of the black-clad manās collar, still seething with anger, and kicked each person in turn.
From behind came a voice, āNinth Brother, well done with the kicks, help me with one more kick!ā
