Chapter 1820: Chapter 1820: There is an Assassin (3)

Luo Yujiao was trembling with anger, but her mouth hurt terribly. ‘You’re the ugly one,’ she thought, yet she couldn’t say anything and could only keep crying.

“Shrew, my sister was harmed by you all to this extent, and you still gloat over it?” Luo Yusheng shouted, “I want to see the Emperor, I want to present a grievance…”

“The lord hasn’t even ruled on the case yet, and you’re calling upon higher authorities. Are you looking down on the lord?”

“I…”

“But if you insist on presenting a grievance, I won’t be afraid,” even though you, Deputy Commander Luo, are a close minister to His Majesty, I believe the Emperor’s wisdom and justice will ensure a fair judgment…”

Cha Anbo couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. You’ve said all the nice things, offended no one, and even saddled him with a big hat. This woman is not simple.

“You…” Luo Yusheng felt like going crazy but soon calmed down, “Madam Gu, with her sharp tongue, is indeed not simple, but the fact remains that Gu Qingheng harassed my sister. Now there are both witness and evidence, so your arguments are futile.”

“Madam Gu, there is indeed a witness, so General Gu cannot escape blame…” Cha Anbo also sighed.

Yang Ruxin then looked at the shop assistant, who was also sneaking a glance at her. As their eyes met, the shop assistant seemed startled and quickly lowered his head.

“My lord, may I ask him two questions?” Yang Ruxin looked at Cha Anbo.

Cha Anbo nodded. “You may.” This request was not excessive, especially since they were in the main hall with so many people around, there was nothing for her to manipulate.

After thanking him, Yang Ruxin walked up to the shop assistant, “Look me in the eye, I only have two questions for you.”

The shop assistant instinctively lifted his head, and this time, facing Yang Ruxin’s gaze, he did not look away.

“The first question: how long have you been working as a waiter in that tavern?”

“Two years.” The shop assistant looked at Yang Ruxin, and he seemed completely relaxed.

“The second question: did you actually see General Gu harass that woman with your own eyes?” Yang Ruxin said pointing at Gu Qingheng, and then at Luo Yujiao.

“I…” Strangely enough, the shop assistant, who previously spoke with unwavering conviction, hesitated at this moment.

People around furrowed their brows.

Yang Ruxin wasn’t in a hurry, she just smiled and looked at him.

Finally, the shop assistant, after a moment’s silence, slowly shook his head: “No, actually it was that woman who grabbed the man and then tore her own clothes…”

“There’s an assassin.” Just then, a shout came from outside, followed by the sound of blades clashing.

Gu Di guarded Gu Qingheng’s side, since he was a suspect, he couldn’t wander off.

Du Juan stood by Yang Ruxin’s side.

Gu Qiao and Mark rushed out with a few people.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to what happened outside.

And at that moment, the shop assistant seemed to suddenly sober up, swallowed hard, and suddenly ran outside.

“Stop him!” Yang Ruxin urgently shouted, swinging the whip in her hand.

However, it was too late.

The shop assistant had just reached the entrance of the main hall when he suddenly stopped and then collapsed to the ground, a dagger protruding from his throat.

Yang Ruxin hurried over to check. The dagger not only severed the throat but was also coated with lethal poison so deadly that even the Gods would be helpless.
