"The military commander is fine? Thank God, the military commander is a great man. If..." Xiao Xiu'er couldn't help but be happy when she heard the news that Ella announced that Chu Yunping was safe.

"Sister Xiao, stop!" Liu Rushi said.

"Yes, no, if so." Xiao Xiu'er stopped what happened.

When Goya heard that Chu Yun was fine, he saw Xiao Xiuer again, Liu Rushi and others regained their usual glory, and became excited: "Can we go to the more fun capital? I want to see the lights and the train!"

"It's not OK yet. You have to wait until the army leader improves." Ella smiled slightly.

A series of rapid footsteps came from outside the Zhongshan Palace. Xu Jisheng, the commander of the Fourth Corps, walked in through the gate. After learning that Chu Yun was fine, he immediately put down the arrest of the assassin's party and came to Zhongshan Palace to find Chu Yun.

He saw Ella, Xiao Xiuer, Liu Rushi and others in the courtyard beside him. After he hesitated a little, he suddenly changed direction and walked here.

"Mr. Ella, I have something to report. I wonder if it is convenient?" Xu Jisheng said.

"The military leader summons you to meet, just go directly to the military leader." Ella was a little confused.

"It's about the assassin, let's talk aside." Xu Jisheng hesitated for a moment and said to Ella.

"Assassin?" A trace of murderous intent flashed in Ella's eyes.

Ella and Xu Jisheng arrived at a pavilion more than ten steps away.

"All the news I knew should have been told directly to the military leader, and we should not hide anything from the military leader, but this time I don't want the military leader to know in advance. The military leader is kind and does not want to kill too much. He almost always imposes imprisonment and exile on the enemy. If it is up to me, they will definitely put their heads on the ground."

"You keep talking."

"Yes, I just led the constable, and the yamen runner blocked the entrance and exit of Nanjing City. The whole city searched for it, and really caught an assassin's accomplice. Did Lord Ella remember that before the assassin who was driving arrived, a little girl happened to fall to the ground? How could that little girl suddenly come out of the yamen runner? After my guess, it was probably another accomplice who wanted to attract our attention through the little girl, so that we would focus our attention on the falling little girl, and be neglected to guard against the people on the frightened carriage. Just imagine, if the little girl did not fall, then the guards around the army leader would go up to control the carriage as soon as possible instead of going to save people. Based on this guess, I followed the clues and soon found the assassin's accomplice." Xu Jisheng said.

"It's really hateful that I actually used the life of a girl as a tool for assassination." Aila's eyes were even more murderous.

"And what's most creepy is that the assassin's accomplice was the girl's father." Xu Jisheng said.

Ella's back felt cold: "There is such a person, can you tell who is behind the assassin?"

Xu Jisheng shook his head: "He refused to speak, and before I could interrogate, I received news that the military leader had improved. Are you coming?"

Ella took a deep breath: "Where is he? Leave it to me for disposal, I have a way to pry his mouth open."

Xu Jisheng bowed to Ella: "It's time for Lord Ella, he and the girl are in the Nanjing Prefecture Prison. Lord Ella uses all means and the army leader will pursue it in the future, and I will bear all the consequences."

After Xu Jisheng said goodbye, he hurried to find Chu Yun.

"Sister Ella, wasn't the assassin killed by the military leader on the spot? Did he find the culprit who instructed the assassin?" Liu Rushi asked curiously.

"It's soon, I will definitely let them pay their blood debts." Ella said.

In one of the prison cells, a man was tied with his hands and feet and had cotton stuffed in his mouth, so he didn't have any chance to commit suicide. His body was covered in blood.

Ella, the highest commander of the Intelligence Department, sat on a wooden chair in front and looked at the prisoner coldly. There were two personnel from the Intelligence Department on both sides.

In addition to the people from the Intelligence Department, there is also an old eunuch who is performing his execution and a small eunuch holding an iron plate.

"The sixty-second knife." The old eunuch raised his sword and let the prisoner whine in pain, but because the prisoner's mouth was blocked, he could not make a clear sound.

"Continue, I heard that Lingchi's punishment can be killed by three thousand swords and will not kill people. If one sword is missing, I will punish you for your sins." Ella said to the old eunuch.

The old eunuch was sweating profusely and said to Ella in embarrassment: "The old slave has not committed this lingchi punishment for more than 20 years. Now he has a bad look and is unfamiliar with his skills. If he accidentally cuts a fatal part..."

"If there is one knife missing, your disciple will make up for the rest on you." Ella said coldly.

"Yes..." The old eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with trembling arms and said to the prisoner, "I said, young man, you should accept it quickly. Why bother to suffer the pain of Lingchi yourself and take my life? It would be better to be understood by a knife. Yes, your mouth is blocked and you can't speak. In this way, if you agree to confess to the person behind the scenes, you nod."

The prisoner who was being punished by Lingchi shook his head firmly.

"You really don't listen to the old man's words, and you're in trouble!" The old eunuch was also angry. This forced him to be careful, with 2,938 swords left. He didn't know if he had such ability.

Ella stood up: "As a dead soldier, you should have committed suicide when you succeeded in one blow, but why do you still have the chance to survive? Because you hesitated for a moment, and the reason why you hesitated..."

At this time, a little girl's voice came from outside this cell: "Dad! Is Dad here?"

The prisoner was obviously excited when he heard this voice.

Ella continued: "You have already made the decision to sacrifice your daughter to complete this assassination, but when you see your daughter being rescued and your companions shooting at each other with the assassination object, you are likely to die, and you have the opportunity to escape from Nanjing with your daughter. From then on, no one knows that the assassin is actually two people. Since you want to use your daughter's life to achieve your goal, why do you have to find out with your conscience?"

After Ella finished speaking, the people from the intelligence department came in with a little girl in her arms. The girl's eyes were tied with black cloth, and she could not see the situation inside the cell.

Ella took the little girl, hugged her in her arms, and untied the girl's black cloth with one hand.

"Um--" The prisoner made a vague cry like a beast.

"Dad?"
