"Master Zhang? The master of the court beside Magistrate Wen?"
Shen Yong thought about it carefully.
The original owner only had one person in his memory: Wen Zhifu of Danyun City. It seemed that the legal advisor who was so highly regarded by the innkeepers was most likely the legal advisor close to Wen Zhifu.
Otherwise, the innkeeper would not have specifically mentioned Master Zhang.
"You—know Magistrate Wen?"
The innkeeper's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned at Chen Yong, "What is your relationship with Lord Wen?"
"Who are you? Are you asking me a question?"
Chen Yong glared at the innkeeper and knocked him unconscious.
The thugs lying on the ground wailing stopped wailing instantly when they saw the innkeeper fall straight to the ground and motionless, and looked at Shen Yong with horror.
At this moment, they ignored the pain in their bodies and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Sir, please spare my life. I was forced to come here by the shopkeeper..."
"Please spare my life! I have a 70-year-old mother to support and a 2-year-old child to raise. I can't die..."
"Please, spare me..."
“.......”
Chen Yong glanced at the people kneeling on the ground crying bitterly.
He looked towards the room of the Shen family women next door.
The smoke had no effect on the women of the Shen family. They had already heard the noise and were lying on the wall listening.
On the other side, in the room where several officials and Zhang Wenyuan lived, the people inside were sleeping like dead pigs. The smoke was quite severe.
There was no sound in the other guest rooms. It seemed that the inn had prepared a lot of sleeping pills.
Chen Yong was too lazy to talk to these crying and wailing people, so he just pressed the sleeping points of all of them.
He even pressed the sleeping acupoints of the innkeeper who was knocked unconscious.
In an instant, the room became much quieter.
"Mom, you guys can sleep peacefully. It's just a small matter, I've taken care of it."
Shen Yong shouted in the direction of the women of the Shen family.
Soon, there was a rustling sound of someone going to bed next door.
Shen Yong pulled off the men's belts, tied them all up, and threw them into the corner of the room.
These people cannot be killed yet.
With so many lives lost at once, it will be difficult for them to leave the city.
No one died and there was no property damage. Even if these people woke up, they would not dare to pursue anything.
But if these people were killed by him, it would be hard to say.
"Master Zhang!"
Shen Yong looked out the window and chuckled.
How dare a lawyer to open a hacker stack?
He just didn't believe that Prefect Wen didn't know about this.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yong jumped out of the window and ran quickly towards the Wen Mansion.
I won’t steal tonight. I’ll explore the route first so that I can save time when I clean up later.
The Wen Mansion is particularly easy to find. It is a huge mansion not far from the prefectural government office. There are two big "Wen Mansion" signs on the gate, making it hard not to see it.
Normally, a Qing prefect would live directly in the prefectural yamen.
However, those with sufficient financial resources will buy a house and make arrangements for their families.
The security of Wen Mansion is far worse than that of Ning Mansion.
Perhaps because they were used to being the only one in power, the guards patrolling the Wen Mansion were also very casual.
Chen Yong found the Wen Mansion's warehouse very easily.
There were quite a few guards at the warehouse door.
After finding the Wen Mansion warehouse, Shen Yong immediately prepared to go back.
As he stepped over the roof of the study, the light in the study suddenly came on.
Shen Yong paused and squatted on the roof of the study, listening to the movements in the study.
"Sir Wen, I have already sent someone to the inn to inquire. The person who went to the bank to exchange silver seems to be from the capital."
Mr. Zhang stood beside Prefect Wen with a hunched back, raised his eyelids and looked at Prefect Wen.
Twenty thousand taels of silver is nothing, the main thing is that the group appeared suddenly.
"They only paid money to check into the inn. The group looked ferocious, so the inn didn't dare to ask any more questions."
"But I sent people to the city gate to ask, and they are the palace guards."
"Imperial Guards!?" Prefect Wen frowned and raised his voice instantly.
"How many people are here?"
"135 people in total."
"So many people!" Prefect Wen stood up in a flash, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"Do you want to find out why these imperial guards suddenly came to Danyun City?"
Master Zhang shook his head. "No, these imperial guards are very tight-lipped."
Prefect Wen sighed deeply.
He was also wishful thinking. It was not so easy to find out information about the palace guards.
But the sudden appearance of so many imperial guards made him feel a little uneasy.
After a pause, Wen Zhifu looked at Master Zhang.
"When will the officials who exiled the Shen family pass by?"
"......." Master Zhang was slightly taken aback.
"At normal speed, it will probably take about ten days to arrive."
"But I heard that the seventh son of the Shen family was seriously injured, so I guess the speed will be slower."
"A group of women carrying a half-dead injured person can't move fast."
Prefect Wen nodded slightly.
“Let someone keep an eye on you…”
He couldn't figure out what these palace guards were trying to do.
It’s best to leave quickly, otherwise he will always be uneasy.
"Reinstate those people and don't cause any trouble recently..."
The palace guards are not easy to mess with, so it’s better to keep a low profile.
They won't stay in Danyun City forever.
"Yes." Master Zhang replied, "I have already given instructions not to cause any trouble."
The casino has also stopped collecting debts in the past few days.
Not bad these few days...
After listening to Tian, Shen Yong figured out that Wen Zhifu was involved in quite a few industries.
A moment later, Shen Yong returned to the inn.
"Tell me, besides the banks and pawnshops, what else has Governor Wen been involved with in Danyun City?"
Shen Yong pinched the innkeeper's chin, stared into his eyes and asked.
The innkeeper opened his eyes dazedly, and when he heard Shen Yong's words, he looked at him with horror.
"I-----"
Are these people here to investigate the prefect?
Is Danyun City about to change?
Under Shen Yong's intimidation and threats, the innkeeper confessed with tears in his eyes.
I have to say that the prefect of Danyun City is quite courageous.
There is no profitable industry in Danyun City that he is not involved in.
Casinos, banks, pawnshops, brothels...
Prefect Wen has an extremely big appetite.
Chen Yong got the information he wanted and knocked out the innkeeper again...
.......
"Hurry up, everyone, and try to get out of the city today."
The sky was still gray when Chen Yong called everyone out.
We're going to do something big tonight, so we have to get out of town early.
The private vault of Ning Zhifu in Menglan City was robbed, as were the money houses and pawnshops. The first people that Zhifu Ning suspected were this group of people.
Maybe by now, Prefect Ning's men have already caught up with us.
He must leave the city today, and then make a surprise attack to seize all the properties under the name of Prefect Wen.
