Su Wei later counted the silver he had obtained, and found that in addition to the silver from the Qingfeng Mountain bandits, there was also a large sum.

This was something Chen Yan dug out from Commander Li while he was interrogating him.

Commander Li and his men secretly mined silver and indeed accumulated quite a bit of it, but Chen Yan took all of it.

Of course, he did all this secretly and didn't tell anyone.

"Then how did Brother Shen die?" Su Wei asked him.

Chen Yan let out a long breath before saying, "Because of the silver mine..."

At first, they were all misled by Shoji's words.

I thought it was because he was implicated in internal military affairs. Judging from Zhuang Er's reaction, he himself probably didn't know the reason and just thought it was this.

No one expected that it was because of this silver mine.

Back then, when Guard Wen died, the Wen family fell into decline. Commander Li initially set his sights on the eldest boss, but the eldest boss found out and broke with him, so Commander Li stabbed the eldest boss.

After the boss escaped, he set his sights on the silver mine.

He also relied on this to get promoted and make a fortune, but he didn't dare to dig in a high-profile manner, so he could only ask nearby villagers to come secretly.

A lot of silver has been dug out over the years, and the silver mines are almost exhausted. At this time, Commander Li embarked on the same old path as Guardian Wen.

The dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon.

In order to prevent the secret of the silver mine from being exposed, Commander Li killed all the people who helped him dig the silver mine.

This task was left to Pang Lin and his confidants in the Vanguard Camp.

I thought it was flawless, but Shen An discovered it somehow.

They wanted to recruit Chen An, but Chen An refused. The man surnamed Lu wanted Chen An to go to the capital, but Chen An also wanted to live a stable life with his brother and mother, so he agreed.

Shen An's refusal made Commander Li very angry, and he decided in his heart that Shen An could not be kept.

In this way, they devised a plan against Shen An.

That day was just like any other day, Shen An and his "brothers" went out to investigate.

He didn't expect these people to suddenly stab him in the back.

They killed some barbarians and then conspired to kill Shen An, accusing him of treason and collaborating with the enemy.

Is this a strange thing? If you think about it carefully, it is certainly strange.

But Shen An had no power or influence, and the people in the Vanguard Camp all had the same rhetoric, so he was convicted.

No one sought justice for him, and his family couldn't even find his body.

Commander Li and several of his men told the whole story.

"I've given you all the money. Let us go, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."

He threatened Chen Yan coldly, but he still didn't know who Chen Yan was?

Chen Yan quickly went over his words.

"Why did Pang Lin mention a man named Lu when he died? Was he involved in killing Shen An?"

Commander Li seemed a little surprised when he heard this. He stared at Chen Yan with a venomous look: "Pang Lin's death was indeed not an accident."

Chen Yan was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. Since he didn't say anything, Chen Yan cut a piece of meat from him and threw it into the fire next to him.

The bloody scene made everyone's scalp tingle.

Especially the remaining men of Commander Li, who cursed and shouted in pain.

Chen Yan said, "If you tell me, I'll give you a happy ending. If you don't tell me, I won't be happy at all."

Finally, Commander Li spoke.

He had someone above him, and in order to get promoted, he bribed someone from the Lu family.

Shen An was indeed murdered. Pang Lin was a coward and Shen An's death scared him, so Commander Li told him that it was the Lu family who ordered him to do so.

From then on, the truth behind Shen An's death came to light.

Chen Yan did not kill Commander Li and his men, but only injured them. There were many wild beasts in the wild, and the smell of blood was so strong that soon the howling of wolves could be heard one after another.

Chen Yan and his men stood in the distance. When they heard the screams of Commander Li and those people, they couldn't feel happy at all.

He felt sad inside.

His brother died.

Really dead.

He will never come back.

No matter how much time has passed, no matter whether revenge is taken or not, thinking of Chen An, Chen Yan's heart feels like it is being cut by a knife.

If Shen An hadn't died, the three of them would have already arrived in the capital and lived a stable life.

Unfortunately, there is no if...
