Chapter 150
Of course it’s not allowed normally, but this is not normal, and Shen Jiao is not normal either.
"Who do you want to kill, sir?"
"all."
Xue Shun said this in anger, but not entirely in anger.
He calmed down on his own without Shen Jiao's persuasion.
"How much truth and falsehood do you think this is?"
Shen Jiao was unsure. "If there were a few like this, perhaps they would be somewhat believable, but the ones I just saw were all like this. It's impossible that all the rich and powerful are perfect, and all the poor and powerless are bastards, right?"
Xue Shun: "If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about this?"
Shen Jiao: "It's good that the above can be trusted at least. At least they didn't say the dead were alive.
If we secretly move the two injured ones and bury them somewhere, and then find some excuse and say they ran away, then no one will be able to find them, and that would be the true meaning of death without evidence."
Xue Shun lowered his head: "Should I be glad that it wasn't you who did this?"
"That's too hurtful," Shen Jiao said, looking downcast. "I'm not stupid enough to let anyone escalate this, let alone send something like this to my master."
I don’t know whether those people underestimated Xue Shun or were too bold and thought no one dared to touch them.
Either way, they're having a hard time.
Xue Shun obviously didn't want to let them go.
He didn't react to Shen Jiao's words, but he was determined to get to the bottom of the matter before dealing with Master Zhao and the others.
"If you really want to investigate, I can find a more serious case, preferably to get rid of them both. As for this one, there aren't many people handling it, and Hall Master Zhao didn't intervene directly. He could easily use being deceived as an excuse to exonerate himself, but that's not the best option."
"No, don't change it, just this one, start with this one!" Xue Shun looked up at Shen Jiao, "I've heard it."
It's hard to ignore him now.
Shen Jiao was so decisive that he stopped trying to persuade her. He picked up the booklet from the ground and said, "Sir, where do you think we should start investigating? Should we have everyone involved in this case come here?"
Xue Shun thought for a while: "If you were them, would you obey me?"
Shen Jiao: "I will take the opportunity to kill them so that there is no evidence, or I will run away and leave here."
The two looked at each other.
Xue Shun's meaning was clear: "We have to go and do this ourselves. We can't leave it to anyone else."
"Then... let me go?" Shen Jiao said reluctantly, "or should we ask Qiongzhi and the others to go?"
Only now did Xue Shun realize the disadvantages of having too few people around him, but where could he find someone he could trust in the short term?
"Qiongzhi and the others are helping out at the clinic, so let them stay there. The two of us will go over to do this."
"That's fine, but your health..."
"Why not take a carriage?" Xue Shun said so, but after just a moment, he could no longer sit still. He pulled two cushions together and lay down, pillowing the scroll under his head. He closed his eyes and urged Shen Jiao, "Go quickly and tell them to get ready. We'll leave."
"yes."
Shen Jiao knew that he had made up his mind, but she didn't want to take risks herself, so she could only let him do it.
He ordered them to prepare the carriage.
He didn't ask anyone to follow him. He helped Xue Shun get up and drove away in the carriage himself.
Not long after they walked, Shen Jiao realized that someone was following them. It wasn't because she was too alert, nor was it because they were not stealthy enough.
But she took the wrong road, and after going around in circles, she got lost. The carriage was stuck tightly in the alley and couldn't turn around, so she climbed onto the roof to take a look, and their eyes met at that moment.
The two men pretended to be passing by and walked into a house with normal expressions.
The people inside started cursing, "Hey, hey, hey! Who are you? How did you just walk in? What are you looking for? Who knows you? Get out of here!"
They were splashed with a basin of water and walked back awkwardly.
Shen Jiao jumped down from the other end of the car roof and chased after them quietly. When the two men turned around after leaving the alley, she grabbed a pig's head from the stall next to them and shoved it in their faces.
These two people were also cowards, and their screams of "Ahhhh" were earth-shaking.
Shen Jiao: "With these two tricks, you still want to learn to stalk people? Buy a pig's head to replenish your brain. Go back and tell your master that if you don't want to live, chop off your head and send it to me. Don't do these tricks."
She returned the pig's head to the stall owner, who was glaring at her, afraid she would run away. She said disdainfully, "You've kept this pig's head for a few days now. It's rotten, and you're still selling it?"
Flies and maggots kept flying out of his eyes and nostrils, it was so creepy.
"What's it to you? If you don't want to buy it, just leave. Go!"
The stall owner was hustling weakly, probably because he sensed that the atmosphere was not right and did not dare to say anything too harsh.
Shen Jiao took a look at the sign that said three cents per pound and walked away in boredom.
When she crawled back, Xue Shun was trying to squeeze through the gap between the carriage and the wall. He had already squeezed half of his body through with difficulty. Seeing her go back, he rubbed back again and decisively gave up: "What happened?"
"There are two spies following."
"Is this true? Whose man is it?"
"I don't know," Shen Jiao climbed down from the roof nonchalantly, "No matter who he is, he must be feeling uneasy." Otherwise, why would he follow him secretly?
As for whether he is a real spy?
That doesn't matter at all, it's fun to scare people anyway.
"Sir, do you want me to ask?"
"Forget it. The most urgent thing is to find someone. If we delay too long and let them realize our intentions, who knows what they will do."
Xue Shun climbed back into the carriage.
Shen Jiao comforted him, "Don't worry, sir. With the way I'm going, even gods can't guess where we're going."
Because she herself didn't know where she was, even though she was following the map...
That’s right.
What year's map did they give us?
Shen Jiao would never doubt herself.
Xue Shun didn't share her confidence: "Could it be that we saw it wrong? Or that we held it upside down?"
"How is that possible? If you turn it around, the words will be upside down too." Shen Jiao handed him the picture and pointed to a street above. "It's right here..."
The drawing looks neat and tidy, but in fact, there are row houses added on two wide streets that can be used as main roads, otherwise Shen Jiao would not be lost.
Xue Shun frowned and said, "We still need to find someone to lead the way."
"Let's go out first, and talk about it after we get out." Shen Jiao was reluctant to admit that he was incompetent, and he finally managed to get the carriage out of the narrow alley.
Before I could even feel the surprise, I started to hear a burst of shouting and cursing.
"Hey! Why did you stop here?"
"Whose carriage is this?"
"The road is blocked. It must be another disturbance."
"Who the hell is this? Are you going to let me live?"
