Chapter 450 The Boss Behind the Treasure Pavilion

Standing behind him is Zhu Feng!

Nan Yan held her breath for a moment, almost losing her voice in shock: "Emperor——"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a snap and the big man's neck broke. His whole body twitched and he stopped moving.

Zhu Feng threw him into the corner of the alley.

On the other side, the big men who were fighting fiercely with Ran Xiaoyu were so scared when they saw this scene that their faces turned pale. They dared not fight anymore and fled away.

Ran Xiaoyu was panting and had some scratches on her body. She walked back and saw that Nan Yan was fine. Then she said to Zhu Feng, "This servant pays homage to the emperor."

Zhu Feng didn't even look at her, but instead looked at the dumbfounded Nan Yan: "Are you hurt?"

“…”

"I'm asking you a question."

“…”

Nan Yan seemed to have not yet come to her senses. She just stared blankly at Zhu Feng who suddenly appeared, forgetting even to breathe.

Zhu Feng gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and twisted her face hard: "Speak!"

"Why!"

Nan Yan finally came to her senses and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty!"

She doesn't look like she's injured.

Zhu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Ran Xiaoyu, and said in a deep voice: "Protecting the people around you is more important than being a hero."

“…”

"Even if you beat back everyone, if she gets hurt, I will still punish you!"

Ran Xiaoyu lowered her head and said, "I acknowledge my guilt."

When Nan Yan heard this, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't blame Xiaoyu, it's all my fault..."

"Of course it's your fault!"

“…”

"When I'm not watching you, you start causing trouble everywhere!"

Listening to his scolding, Nan Yan didn't dare to say a word. She could only lower her head and take the scolding obediently. But her eyes accidentally caught sight of the corpse beside her, and she suddenly exclaimed "Huh".

Zhu Feng frowned: "What happened again?"

Nan Yan pointed at the corpse and said, "Your Majesty, look, there is something on that person's body."

Everyone turned around hurriedly and saw that the body had just fallen to the ground, the clothes on his chest were scattered, and something fell out of his arms.

Zhu Feng walked over, picked it up and took a look.

It's a token.

In the center of the token, there is a big word "jie" (pronounced: xie, fourth tone) cast.

Could it be that these people are from a family with the surname Jie, or some organization?

Nan Yan and Ran Xiaoyu also came over and saw the token. They looked at each other and felt a little strange.

Zhu Feng put the token away, then stood up and said, "What's going on? How did you get into trouble with these people?"

Nan Yan hurriedly recounted what had just happened to them in the Treasure Pavilion.

Zhu Feng frowned after hearing this.

"So, the boss behind Baibao Pavilion bought the mine, lied about discovering a jade vein underneath the mine, and used gambling on jade to defraud people in town of a lot of money?"

Nan Yan nodded and said, "Yes."

She asked again: "Your Majesty, should we report this to the authorities?"

Zhu Feng didn't speak immediately, but looked down at the corpse on the ground.

There seemed to be something else flickering in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, then turned to Ran Xiaoyu and said, "Stay here, my men will be here soon to dispose of the body. Don't let anyone else find out, and don't let this matter get out."

Ran Xiaoyu nodded cautiously: "I obey your order."

Then, he said to Nan Yan, "Take me to the Treasure Pavilion first."

"yes."

Nan Yan agreed and walked out of the remote alley with him.
