In the Imperial Palace, in the Imperial study.

The Emperor took the letter from the secret guard. After reading it, his face was first filled with shock. His eyes burst out with an intense curiosity and excitement that could not be hidden. Then, his face was filled with confusion. Finally, that excited face became calm and deep in thought.

In the end, he picked up the pen, and with two strokes, he handed it to the leader of the secret guards and instructed him, “An Yi, you personally deliver the letter. You must personally deliver it to Jiang Zhennan’s hands. Also, help me monitor that small county well. If there’s anything, report it immediately!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The leader of the hidden guards in the shadows had no expression on his face. He only followed the emperor’s orders respectfully.

Duke Zhengguo’s mansion, in a desolate courtyard.

A man wearing a black mask looked down at the woman standing by the wall and asked coldly, ” why did you come to me this time? ”

Wen Yujing looked at the man who was standing on the wall with a cold and fierce aura. She couldn’t help but feel a little scared. However, because she knew that this man couldn’t do anything to her, she could only suppress this fear in her heart.

Wen Yujing looked at the man and asked angrily, ” thousand-faced man, where did Jiang Zhennan go missing last year? And who saved him? It’s been almost half a year. Why haven’t you given me an answer!”

A cold smile appeared on the thousand-faced man’s thin lips under his Black Ghost mask. He said sharply, ” Madam Zhengguo, since you don’t believe me, then you can find someone else!”

He was overbearing and did not respect Wen Yujing at all.

Hearing this, Wen Yujing’s face turned pale with anger. She said angrily, ” I saved your life. You promised me three things. Now, you’ve only fulfilled one request. Could it be that the rumors of the thousand-faced man keeping his promise in Jiang Hu are false?”

The thousand-faced man ignored the accusations and only said coldly, ” you’ve really overestimated me, Duke zhengguo’s wife. I’m just a small part of Jiang Hu.

“Everyone in the pugilistic world knows that I’m a person whose emotions are unpredictable. When I’m happy, I might agree to anything. When I’m unhappy, I might forget everything I promised.

“I, the thousand-faced man, am such a despicable villain.

“Therefore, whether I keep my promise or not depends on whether the other party is worth it for me to keep my promise.”

Hearing this, Wen Yujing was so angry that she almost jumped up. She accused angrily, ” but I saved your life! Don’t tell me your life isn’t worth the three requests?”

She looked very angry on the surface, but there was a sense of shock and confusion in her heart.

Why did this man with a Thousand Faces refuse to give her Jiang Zhennan’s information?

Could this person be someone who was familiar with Jiang Zhennan?

But that didn’t seem right.

Last time, her one request was to kill the exposed Butler of the General’s residence. She couldn’t let Jiang Zhennan have any evidence against her. Thousand Faces man had also fulfilled her request.

But why didn’t this person give her an answer to the last two requests?

Could it be that something had happened there?

The thousand-faced man couldn’t guess what Wen Yujing was thinking.

Even if he could guess it, he would only scoff at it.

Hearing Wen Yujing’s accusation, the thousand-faced man didn’t take it to heart at all. He just said indifferently, ” you don’t need to question whether saving my life is worth it or not. If you’re not satisfied, you can change your request. I only promised to do three things for you, but I didn’t make any promises as to what kind of requests. I have the right to accept or refuse.”

Wen Yujing jumped up in anger and roared, ” you … You rascal!”

The thousand-faced man didn’t want to waste any more time talking to her, so he only said, ” that’s enough. Since I’ve already agreed to your two requests, I won’t go back on my word. You might just get your answer later.”

In fact, Wen Yujing wanted an answer now.

However, this thousand-faced man was not willing to give it to her, so she could only endure it.

Her deal with this thousand-faced man could not be seen by others.

If, by any chance, this thousand-faced man was angered, and then news spread that she could not tolerate the first wife’s son, and had secretly bribed the General’s mansion’s former housekeeper to poison the great general, then she would first be questioned by the Emperor.

Wen Yujing understood the consequence.

Therefore, all the clues leading to Jiang Zhennan’s death had been cleaned up by her.

Even if Jiang Zhennan knew that she was the one who sent the people, he could not do anything to her without any evidence.

However, this time, Jiang Zhennan had disappeared from Beijing again.

The upper echelons of the capital knew about Jiang Zhennan’s disappearance in the capital.
