Chapter 488 There is an Old Turtle in the Well
Wang Qi frowned beautifully, and said in a voice as sweet as the gurgling of a stream: "I have sent all my men out to investigate, but there is still no clue."
"My Lord, perhaps I have to trouble you with this matter."
Although he never pried into other people's privacy, Wang Qi knew clearly that Xie Mubai's power was probably far more terrifying than he had imagined.
He didn't like the Marquis of Xiangyang, and he wanted to cut this old beast who abused Shen Wan into pieces, but he couldn't do that now.
The Marquis of Xiangyang is an out-and-out old fox. He dared to come to Lanyang City openly, so he must have had a backup plan.
If anything happens to him, perhaps the entire Lanyang City will be buried with him.
Xie Mubai didn't say anything.
His slender white fingers curled up slightly, and the lingering cold and murderous aura spread from deep within his bones.
We are not fools.
They all knew clearly that even if they had to take action, they must not let the Marquis of Xiangyang die here.
Who did it?
Who wants to kill them?
Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone knew clearly that Xie Mubai would definitely agree.
Whether it was for revenge or for Shen Wan, he would find out who that person was.
In the dim light, the Marquis of Xiangyang, who had spent half his life in military service, was thrown into a dry well like a dog.
He pressed his skinny hands tightly against the cold wall of the well, trying to stand up from the mud that exuded a strong stench.
But as soon as he exerted a little force, he felt a piercing pain quickly spreading throughout his limbs.
Yes, he was poisoned.
Now, not only is it extremely difficult for him to move, he can't even speak.
Suddenly, a large colorful rooster flew over the well.
Then, there was another burst of hurried footsteps.
"Damn it! I let it get away again! I'm so tired I almost peed myself!"
A child spat viciously and cursed.
When he heard that there was someone there, Marquis Xiangyang couldn't help but feel happy and quickly raised his head.
A stream of water suddenly fell from the sky and splashed directly on his face.
Marquis Xiangyang wiped it randomly, but a few naughty drops of water still entered his mouth from the corners of his lips.
After a moment of thought, his expression suddenly changed, and two sinister cold rays shot out from his turbid eyes.
hateful!
Which uneducated little bastard is so wicked that he dares to pee in the well in broad daylight!
However, this seems to be an opportunity.
Although he couldn't speak, the Marquis of Xiangyang still raised his fist and hit the wall of the well hard.
Hearing the sound, the child finally looked down.
Why does this kid look so familiar?
Marquis of Xiangyang frowned.
He remembered.
That was the year before last.
At that time, Chen Yan had just entered the imperial court, and Aruo and she had searched all the noble young men of the same age in the capital.
The couple had very high standards, and their first choice was naturally the prince in the palace.
However, the prince and Shen Wan’s marriage had just been settled, and now he was suddenly discussing marriage with Shen Yan again. The dog emperor would definitely not agree.
More importantly, the prince does not win the emperor's favor, and it seems that his reign will not last long.
As for the talented third prince, he was a good candidate, but his biological mother, Concubine Yu, was just a talented woman at the time and had no family background.
If a fight really breaks out, there may not be much chance of winning.
After much deliberation, the couple decided to be safe and choose Xie Mubai, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo.
In the Wei Dynasty, apart from the royal family, the lintel of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is definitely the best.
The Duke of Zhenguo had made great military achievements and held great power in the court. His sons were outstanding talents.
Of course, if the Marquis of Xiangyang wanted to marry his daughter off, he would naturally marry the one with the best status.
Thus, Xie Mubai, the legitimate son, came into their sight.
They deliberately let Shen Wan appear at the banquet attended by Xie Mubai, and pretended to act out a play to highlight their gentleness and kindness.
Xie Mubai didn't have any impression of the play, he just didn't dislike Shen Yan.
In addition, he was indeed at the age to get married and start a family, so when someone from the Marquis of Xiangyang came to propose marriage, he agreed to the marriage.
After the marriage was settled, the Duke of Zhenguo invited his future relative to have tea.
It was on that day that he saw the fat boy in front of him.
At that time, he was still surprised that the sons of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were all well-behaved, so how could they give birth to such a fat little boy who was not presentable.
Later he found out that this little fat boy was the eldest grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo.
This eldest grandson must have inherited his character from his grandmother, Aunt Zhou.
Sure enough, the children and grandchildren of a concubine are always no good.
"Wow, there is an old turtle in the well!" Seeing the disheveled Marquis of Xiangyang, Dabao grinned.
Although there were many children in the orphanage, he was too naughty and no one was willing to play with him.
When he was bored, he would sneak out to play.
Seeing a fat hen on the road, Dabao started to have evil thoughts again.
Seeing a dirty old man in the dry well, he picked up some pebbles and threw them at the head of the Marquis of Xiangyang.
The Marquis of Xiangyang was now completely exhausted. Facing the falling pebbles, he was unable to dodge for a moment.
hateful!
If he had the strength at this moment, he would definitely cut the little beast into pieces and throw it into the desert to feed the wolves!
At this moment, a small stone hit the forehead of Marquis Xiangyang.
The sharp edge cut his skin, turning it bright red.
"Yeah, I hit it!" Dabao looked at it and screamed excitedly.
Although he wanted to tear him into pieces, the shrewd Marquis of Xiangyang still managed to suppress his anger.
What's the big deal about being insulted?
The most urgent thing is that he must escape from this dry well as soon as possible.
If he delays any longer, he might really die here.
Marquis Xiangyang thought about it and casually took out a silver ingot from his waist.
He forced a smile and kept talking "wahwah".
As soon as Dabao saw the silver, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I see." He said quickly, "You want me to save you and give me this money as a reward?"
After hearing this, Marquis Xiangyang nodded vigorously.
I thought this little fat boy was a fool, but I didn't expect he was not that stupid.
Although they had no worries about food and clothing in the orphanage, Mrs. Li only gave them five cents of pocket money each month.
Just five cents is not enough for Dabao to squander.
Now, when he saw the heavy silver, he immediately became happy.
"Just wait, I'll find someone to rescue you!"
Before he finished speaking, Dabao ran away excitedly.
After a while, he found a few people and they worked together to pull the Marquis of Xiangyang out of the bottom of the well.
Seeing that he could neither speak nor walk, people mistakenly thought he was a disabled person from outside the area.
After discussing it, everyone decided to send Marquis Xiangyang directly to a nursing home.
Although Xie Murong did not recognize the Marquis of Xiangyang, Feng Er did.
As soon as he saw the beggar-like Marquis of Xiangyang, he immediately notified Shen Wan.
Upon learning that the Marquis of Xiangyang had been thrown into a dry well, Shen Wan couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless.
He originally thought that someone wanted to kidnap him and take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that he was actually set up by someone else.
"Do you want to go and have a look?" Xie Mubai cut the bright red flesh into small pieces, picked out the black seeds bit by bit, and then put it in a clean plate and handed it to Shen Wan.
This melon is grown on the barren hills outside the city.
Although the soil there is poor, the melon seedlings are from the space and are growing quite well.
Shen Wan took the plate and ate slowly: “Who cares, as long as he’s not dead.”
"Anyway, with Wang Qi here, we don't have to worry about other things."
"But how is it such a coincidence that Dabao can find him just by chasing a chicken?"
Shen Wan was a little confused.
When he looked up, he saw the villain's lips curled up in an evil arc.
"You did it?" Shen Wan asked quickly.
