Chapter 499 House Arrest
However, Marquis Xiangyang never dreamed that this sickly guy would be so skilled!
Among the Xie family's illegitimate sons, I'm afraid no one can match him.
As for my mediocre skills, they are not worth mentioning.
Seeing their companion die tragically at the hands of Xie Mubai, the other guards knew that the situation was not good, so they stood up and tried to escape.
Shen Wan’s eyes tightened.
She didn't want to kill anyone, but the only people in this world who could keep secrets were the dead.
If what I just said were to get out, it would be a disaster not only for myself but also for the entire Lanyang City.
Shen Wan frowned slightly and calmly took out a few poisoned silver needles from the space.
A few cold lights flashed, and the guards immediately fell to the ground.
"What's going on?" Suddenly, the boss's impatient voice came from not far away, "What a patient you are! Why are you crying here for no reason? Just take your medicine obediently!"
"If you dare to howl again, I'll kick you out!"
Hearing the voice, Marquis Xiangyang's eyes lit up.
He just didn't believe that if they could attract more people, Xie Mubai and that little bitch could kill them all.
As long as he saw the corpses on the ground, I believe the boss would be scared out of his wits and his voice would be hoarse.
So he opened his mouth wide, ready to howl even harder.
Shen Wan's eyes turned cold, and she stuffed a pill directly into the open mouth.
Although he didn't know what it was, Marquis Xiangyang knew clearly that it must not be a good thing.
He tried to spit it out, but Shen Wan quickly covered his mouth and forced him to swallow it.
At the same time, Xie Mubai also took out the bone-dissolving powder from his body.
The moment the boss walked in, the corpse on the ground had disappeared without a trace, leaving only pools of pus emitting a strong and foul smell.
"It stinks!" The boss covered his nose and cursed at the Marquis of Xiangyang with a look of disgust, "You make the house stink every day, and you and those people don't even clean it up?"
"I don't care, get out of here right now!"
Since the fruits and vegetables outside the city have matured, some merchants from nearby counties and cities would come to purchase the goods.
Although it's not too much, the inn's business is obviously much better than usual.
The boss would never allow other customers to be offended for the sake of an incontinent old man!
Moreover, he had heard that this old man was the princess's estranged and vicious adoptive father, who had abused the princess many times in the past.
If we leave this evil here, it might even make the princess unhappy.
Although he was filled with rage, under the strong desire to survive, Xiangyang Hou opened his mouth while Shen Wan was not paying attention.
The strange thing was that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make any sound at all.
Needless to say, it must have been that little bitch who did it!
His eyes were red and he looked at Shen Wan with gritted teeth.
Shen Wan, however, looked indifferent and said calmly, "Of course you can drive him away, but before that, I have to pay for Master Su Wen's medicine for the next few days."
"It was my fault that I recommended Master Su Wen to treat him."
"But several days have passed, and he hasn't given a cent."
"If you don't pay me today, I'll tell Master Su Wen not to come over."
After hearing this, the boss was shocked.
Oops!
The old man only paid a small deposit when he checked into the hotel, and several grown men had been eating and drinking with him these days, so it cost a lot in total.
If this old guy doesn't even have money for his medical treatment, then wouldn't he have even less money for himself?
Thinking of this, the boss's face suddenly changed.
"Where are those people you brought with you?" He looked at the Marquis of Xiangyang with a gloomy face.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Xiangyang deliberately looked at the pustule on the ground.
Aren’t you looking for those people?
They are all here, not even a hair has drifted outside.
Seeing this, the boss also looked in the direction he was looking.
When he saw those pools of pus, he couldn't help but spat viciously: "Pah, so disgusting!"
"Pay the bill quickly and get out of here right now!"
hateful!
It's so dirty, it will probably take half a day to clean up.
And the stench is three times worse than the toilet in the backyard. It would be strange if other guests didn't complain after smelling it.
"But he's not here." Shen Wan rolled her eyes and said deliberately, "How about we just wait here and kick him out after we pay the bill?"
The boss did not refuse this suggestion.
He is a businessman, how could he allow a group of strangers to eat and drink for free here?
But the other party is a marquis, he shouldn't refuse to pay the rent.
The smell in the house was too strong, so they went to sit on the corridor outside.
In order to entertain Shen Wan, the boss specially brewed a pot of herbal tea.
The group of people drank tea and waited until the sun set.
"Princess, why haven't those people returned yet?" the boss asked anxiously, "Could it be that they don't want their master anymore?"
He had also noticed in the past few days that those people were disgusted with this so-called master.
Every time the Marquis of Xiangyang soiled his pants, they made all kinds of excuses and no one wanted to wash them.
However, in just a few days, the poor Marquis of Xiangyang developed bedsores.
After hearing this, Shen Wan deliberately pretended to be surprised: “No way?”
The boss doesn't think so either.
But if that's not the case, then where did those guards go?
"Maybe he was delayed by something." Xie Mubai said calmly with a calm face, "But this shop owner, if I were you, I would definitely not chase him away."
"You don't have to worry too much about what the princess thinks. We also know that it's difficult for you."
"No matter what, this old man is a dignified marquis."
"What if he comes to trouble you again when you get better one day?"
"Why don't you just keep the account first and settle it after those people come back."
"Even if those people really don't come back, isn't the Xiangyang Marquis' Mansion still there?"
"If you don't dare to go, then I'll ask someone to collect the debt for you."
After hearing this, the boss couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
In fact, between Xiangyang Hou and Shen Wan, he would definitely choose Shen Wan.
Firstly, she had done a favor for the people of Lanyang, and secondly, the Marquis of Xiangyang was too ill and it was unknown how long he could live.
Master Su Wen is quite famous. Even patients who are difficult for him to treat probably won't live long.
Of course, if the higher-ups really take this matter seriously, I'm afraid I'll be implicated as well.
"Thank you, my Lord." The boss looked at Xie Mubai gratefully, "But we are short-staffed in our store and really can't spare anyone to take care of him."
"And as you know, there are other guests here."
"If the Marquis of Xiangyang keeps making such a fuss, it will definitely affect others."
After hearing this, Shen Wan looked at Xie Lian.
Xie Lian understood and said coldly, "Then I'll find someone from the main camp to take care of you."
"If his men don't return, I will take him to the main camp and then contact his family."
After hearing this, the light in Xiangyang Hou's eyes quickly disappeared.
What do you mean by finding someone to take care of him? It's obvious that the Duke of Zhenguo wants to put him under house arrest!
In this way, I completely lost the opportunity to seek help from outside!
