After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 306: Retaliation is inevitable

Seeing this, the other assassins followed suit. In an instant, before Xu Ruohao could react, all the men in black were killed.

The secret guard stepped forward and felt the other person's breath with his hand, then reported to Xu Ruohao: "My Lord, all these assassins bit their tongues to commit suicide. Not only that, I also found poison hidden under their tongues. Even if they didn't commit suicide and succeeded in assassinating the princess, they would be silenced."

The secret guard reported truthfully.

After these words were spoken, Xu Ruohao and Xu Yingying looked at each other.

"What a cruel method!" After saying that, Xu Yingying stepped forward and tore off the scarf on the face of an assassin regardless of Xu Ruohao's obstruction.

I saw that the other person had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a high nose bridge, a typical appearance of a person from the Western Regions.

Xu Yingying didn't even need to check who sent them.

Who else besides Ye Dina?

She really didn't expect that Ye Dina was so cruel. She wanted to kill her as soon as she met Ling Jiayao.

It seems that Ling Jiayao is really important to her!

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying felt more and more that Ye Bhutan’s idea was correct. If she could control Ling Jiayao, she would also be able to successfully control Ye Dina.

Xu Ruohao, who was standing by, obviously also figured out where the assassin came from.

"Princess... these assassins seem to be from the Western Regions." Xu Ruohao said boldly.

Xu Yingying nodded in agreement, "Yes, they are from the Western Regions. They are most likely sent by Ye Dina to assassinate me. She really can't wait to kill me."

Xu Yingying couldn't help but sneered.

"So what should we do next?" Xu Ruohao said.

"Let's wait and see! You go back to the palace first! I still have things to do." Xu Yingying said to Xu Ruohao beside her.

After hearing this, Xu Ruohao immediately became hesitant. He struggled for a while and finally answered, "Princess, the prince asked me to watch you closely and protect your safety. If anything happens to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life."

Xu Ruohao smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

Xu Yingying didn't know what to say when she heard that. She could only nod and say, "Okay! Then you guys continue to follow me!"

After saying that, Xu Yingying didn't waste any more words. She directly called Ye Bhutan back and asked him to find out about Ling Jiayao's background.

After some visits, Xu Yingying learned that Ling Jiayao had an aunt named Ling Yiran. Ling Jiayao originally came from a good family. Although not very wealthy, they had enough food and clothing.

Unexpectedly, things did not go as planned. When Ling Jiayao was ten years old, his parents went on a ship with others to transport goods. They encountered a storm on the sea, and the ship, his parents, and the goods all disappeared at sea.

The relatives around him also took the Ling family's property for themselves, claiming that Ling Jiayao was too young to handle the property properly.

Ling Jiayao's aunt Ling Yiran was even more greedy. She took away most of the Ling family's property and refused to support Ling Jiayao.

When the relatives around found out about this, they immediately became unhappy. They all took Ling Jiayao to Ling Yiran's house to block Ling Yiran.

After repeated quarrels among relatives, the hot potato of Ling Jiayao was finally thrown to Ling Yiran.

However, Ling Yi, who took most of the Ling family's money, was not kind to Ling Jiayao. Not to mention sending Ling Jiayao to school, even providing Ling Jiayao with food and clothing became a problem.

Ling Jiayao often went hungry because he had no food to eat, and his body was covered with wounds due to the cold because he had no clothes to wear in the winter.

Even so, Ling Yi still despised Ling Jiayao as a burden and finally sent him to Zuishenglou as a male and female branch.

Hearing this, Xu Yingying couldn't help but sigh that Ling Jiayao was also a miserable person.

"Let's go! Take us to his house to find his aunt!" Xu Yingying said to Ye Bhutan.

"As you command, Princess."

Under the guidance of Ye Bhutan, Xu Yingying successfully arrived at Ling Yiran's home.

Ye Bhutan pointed to the door of a room that was decorated very ornately and said, "Princess, Ling Yiran lives here."

Looking at the luxuriously decorated room, Xu Yingying couldn't help but sigh: It seems that this Ling Yiran has sucked a lot of blood from the Ling family. Sucking blood would be fine, but in the end he even treated Ling Jiayao like this.

Hearing this, Xu Yingying gestured to Xu Ruohao and said, "Go kick this door open for me, and then drag the woman inside out for me."

"As you command, Princess."

After saying that, Xu Ruohao ordered the secret guard to kick the door open and drag Ling Yiran out.

During this time, Ling was still very uncooperative. She kicked and stomped the secret guards, and yelled like a shrew, trying to get someone to rescue her.

"Help! Someone is killing people, and someone is robbing women."

"Someone come quickly! In broad daylight, someone is forcibly abducting a woman."

"Help! Someone help me!"

……

Ling Yiran's cry really attracted the attention of people around. Some of them saw that Xu Yingying had bad intentions and left for fear of causing trouble.

There were also people with an overflowing sense of justice who directly stopped the secret guards.

A man asked Xu Yingying, "What's going on? Do you know each other?"

Ling Yiran seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly shook her head to deny it, "I don't know her. I don't know her. They are kidnapping her. Do you understand? Please help me report to the police and save me! Kind-hearted person."

Ling Yiran was crying with tears and snot, as if she was really an innocent person.

Even Xu Yingying was almost deceived by her tears.

Xu Yingying took out the Regent's ID card without hesitation and said, "The Regent is handling the case. The rest of you who have nothing to do with the case please leave immediately and do not obstruct the investigation. Otherwise, you will be severely punished."

As soon as these words came out, the people watching the show all hid away, and even the man hurriedly admitted his mistake and said, "I didn't know it was the Regent who was handling the case. Please forgive me, sir."

After saying this, the man hurried away, fearing that Xu Yingying would punish him if he was late.

Seeing the man leave, Ling Yiran's face turned pale in an instant, and her last straw of life was extinguished.

Ling Yiran stopped struggling and was dragged away by the secret guards like a dead dog.

halfway.

Ling Yiran seemed to have remembered something and asked Xu Yingying, "Sir, did you catch the wrong person? I have never seen the Lord Regent before!"

Xu Yingying snorted when she heard this: "Your name is Ling Yiran, right? You must be Ling Jiayao's aunt!"

When Ling Yiran heard this, she stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning. She thought Xu Yingying had captured her to ask her something, but she didn't expect it was about Ling Jiayao.

Thinking of Ling Jiayao, Ling Yiran felt angry.

She hurriedly distanced herself from the matter and said, "Ling Jiayao has severed ties with me a long time ago. If this damned boy gets into trouble outside, he should be left to die on his own! Don't involve me in this!"
