There was no need for Shen Ningyuan to give any special instructions. The strong men in the yard exchanged glances quietly and went straight to the door of the woodshed to guard it.
After Shen Ningyuan saw that there was no one he disliked in the courtyard, he looked around.
It was not until this time that I noticed that there were several unrecognizable corpses a few meters away.
I think this is the thief who broke into the yard last night.
No wonder Chen wanted to escape from here like crazy.
When Shen Ningyuan's eyes fell on the corpses, the other strong men guarding the yard all turned their eyes to their leader.
The chief strode up to her and bowed.
“Miss Shen, these are the people who broke into the courtyard yesterday and tried to take Chen away. They are all assassins trained in secret.”
As the name suggests, if a death soldier fails to complete the task assigned by his master, he will have no choice but to die.
Shen Ningyuan nodded calmly, indicating that she understood.
Didn't ask too many questions.
However, judging from the traces at the scene, it seems that there was a fierce fight.
Only then were these assassins killed here.
"Thank you all for your hard work! Once this matter is over, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
The leader responded in a deep voice, "Miss Shen, you are too polite. This is our duty. It can't be said to be hard work, let alone a generous reward from the lady."
Shen Ningyuan glanced at him with a smile, but didn't say anything.
The leader touched the tip of his nose a little embarrassedly, but did not dwell on the matter and quickly changed the subject.
“Miss Shen, what are your instructions next?”
Seeing her confused look, the leader added another sentence.
“The master has specifically instructed that the subordinates and others in the Anning Marquis Mansion are fully subject to Miss Shen’s arrangements.”
After listening to the explanation, Shen Ningyuan nodded with satisfaction.
I feel quite happy.
Xie Wanzhou is very nice.
I feel very safe in the An Ning Marquis Mansion, protected by a group of people with great martial arts skills.
There is no need to worry about safety at all.
Excellent!
"I don't know what to call you?"
The leader still bowed his body and spoke in a humble tone.
"My name is Jin Ge."
When Shen Ningyuan heard the name, she subconsciously asked back.
"Could it be that there is another person called Iron Horse?"
Jin Ge nodded respectfully.
Seeing his actions, Shen Ningyuan's eyes twitched uncontrollably.
I silently complained in my heart, Xie Wanzhou's name was too casual!
In this world of war and iron, could there be someone named Horse Hide and Corpse Shroud?
Although he thought so in his heart, Shen Ningyuan did not say anything more.
Thinking that there was still something important that had not been asked, Shen Ningyuan cleared his throat and asked, "Has the news from the mansion been released?"
Jin Ge was stunned at first, and then asked cautiously.
“Miss Shen, are you talking about the news about Chen’s serious illness?”
Shen Ningyuan hummed.
"Early this morning, we've already sent people to infiltrate all the major teahouses. I'm sure everyone in the city knows about this by now."
Shen Ningyuan got the news she wanted, and the smile on her lips became even wider.
Nodded with satisfaction.
Just as I was about to say something else, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the yard.
I saw Lan Yin walking hurriedly towards the gate of the courtyard and arrived in a flash.
With a respectful expression, she reported, "Miss, the second young master is here! I have arranged for him to stay in the flower hall in the courtyard."
When Shen Ningyuan heard that his second brother was coming, he looked a little dazed.
"What is he doing here? Is it about the Ji family's affairs?"
Even though there were many thoughts in my mind, I suppressed them all one by one.
Didn't say much.
Only after seeing my second brother, I will know why he came here in such a hurry.
Shen Ningyuan shifted his gaze to Jin Ge in front of him and warned.
"As for the Chen family, I'll need your help. Things may not be peaceful from now on."
Jin Ge naturally understood what was meant and responded in a crisp voice.
"Miss Shen, please rest assured. I will definitely take good care of Chen. If there is any mistake, I will bring my head to you."
Shen Ningyuan looked at him deeply.
"That's not necessary. You all need to pay more attention to the safety of the mansion."
Jin Ge naturally agreed readily, without any intention of refusing.
Seeing that everything had been explained, Shen Ningyuan did not linger for too long.
Turned around and left in a hurry.
Although these people acted ruthlessly, they were Xie Wanzhou's men and knew their limits.
Know clearly what to do and what not to do.
Chen Ningyuan hurried back to Xiyuanju and saw that her hair was disheveled. Lan Yin hurried forward to help her re-dress.
After everything was packed up, we went to the flower hall.
As soon as I stepped into the hall, I saw my second brother stand up from his chair and hurried over.
Seeing his second brother so anxious, Shen Ningyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, "Second brother, why are you so anxious?"
Shen Haoyue glanced back and forth at her several times, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual on her face, he breathed a sigh of relief with a barely perceptible intensity.
"You little heartless thing, I'm just worried about you, otherwise why would I do this!"
Shen Ningyuan instantly understood his subtext, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
He walked slowly to the table, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to Shen Haoyue.
"Second brother, drink some tea to moisten your throat first. If you have anything to say, tell us slowly. There's no rush."
Shen Haoyue looked at her deeply, wondering in his heart, does this girl know the purpose of my coming here?
I thought so in my heart and asked the same question.
Shen Ningyuan nodded in agreement generously.
"I guessed it was something about the Ji family, right?"
Shen Haoyue's doubts grew even stronger, and he looked at her suspiciously and blurted out.
