When Yu Jin hurried back to the inn in the town, it was still early in the morning.

He did not go directly into the inner room. Instead, he washed his hands and face carefully and changed out of the clothes he wore to commit murder and arson before going in.

There was still a night light on in the house.

The lamp was as dim as a bean, emitting a faint light, allowing people to vaguely see that the person on the bed was sleeping.

Yu Jin walked over quietly, took off his shoes, got on the bed, and lay down next to Jiang Si.

At this time, Jiang opened his eyes and asked in a surprised tone: "You're back so soon?"

In the darkness, Yu Jin's eyes were bright, as if they had scooped up tiny starlight in them.

"Did it wake you up?"

Jiang Si smiled and said, "How could he really be asleep?"

Yu Jian thought about it and it made sense. If he went to kill someone, Ah Si would definitely be worried.

"How is the Xue Miao tribe leader?"

"I set a fire..." Yu Jin recounted what happened in a light voice.

Jiang Si listened silently, and finally asked, "Are you sure he was burned to death?"

Yu Jin laughed hoarsely: "Don't worry, he is absolutely dead."

He liked Ah Si's Salisbury, who was not like those ordinary little girls who cried and shed tears when they saw a dead body, which was very annoying.

Of course, even if Ah Si was afraid, he wouldn't mind. It was a good opportunity for him to show off.

Jiang Si glanced out the window, his tone heavy, "The leader of the Xue Miao tribe sent someone to assassinate you. I don't know how many people know about this. If other people know about it and find that the person sent out has not returned, they will definitely come to the inn to investigate..."

Yu Jin thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Long Dan to throw the body off the cliff. Those people will have to spend some time looking for me. By the time they start to suspect me, we'll be far away from here and won't have to worry about them causing any trouble. At least as long as we can get rid of the leader of the Xue Miao tribe, we can still handle the trouble later."

When trouble comes, just solve it. You can't be timid for fear of trouble and let the other party ride on your neck and do whatever they want.

Jiang Si nodded: "Well, let's destroy the bodies first. The methods used by the Xue Miao to deal with people are similar to those used by the Wu Miao. I am not afraid of them. As long as there is no clear evidence that you did it, it will be fine as long as you arouse the hostility and revenge of the Xue Miao tribe against the Great Zhou."

Yu Jin sneered upon hearing this: "Asi, you don't have to worry about this. If the Snow Miao tribe shows any signs of confronting the Great Zhou, I will go and have a good chat with the Wu Miao elder."

"Great Elder?" Jiang Si was confused as to why the Wu Miao tribe was brought up again.

"The Seven Sons of the Dragon will bring the dawn and dispel the darkness of the Wu Miao." Yu Jin recited the hexagram and said righteously, "The Snow Miao leader wants to get rid of me in order to deal with the Wu Miao. It doesn't make sense for the Wu Miao to just take advantage of me and not contribute, right?"

Does he look like the kind of person who would allow others to take advantage of him without taking responsibility?

If Xue Miao dares to target him or even the Great Zhou, Wu Miao will not be able to sit idly by.

In fact, even though Wu Miao's influence has been declining over the years, he still has an overwhelming advantage over Xue Miao. As long as Wu Miao takes action, Xue Miao will be too busy to bother with him.

Yu Jin had already thought of a way out, so he killed the leader of the Xue Miao tribe cleanly and efficiently, so as to avoid the inconvenience when returning to the capital.

After listening to Yu Jin's explanation, Jiang seemed to sympathize with the great elder for a moment and nodded slightly.

Yu Jin stood up and went next door to tell Long Dan.

When the sleepy Long Dan heard that he had to take out the body he had hidden with great difficulty, he couldn't help but grimace.

When he walked to the place where the body was hidden, the little complaints and sleepiness disappeared immediately and turned into fear.

"People, where are the people? No, where are the bodies?"

Staring at the empty place where the bodies were hidden, a chill rose from his heart, making Long Dan's scalp numb.

After the initial shock, he immediately went to report to Yu Jian.

"What? The body is missing?" Yu Jin had obviously gone to bed. He opened the door wearing his coat and was a little surprised after hearing Long Dan's report.

A soft voice came from behind: "What's going on?"

Yu Jin turned around and said to Jiang Si, "Long Dan just went to take the body away, but found that it was missing."

Jiang Si heard this and walked to the table, picked up the oil lamp on the table and walked to the door: "Let's go and take a look."

"Yes." Yu Jin nodded slightly and told Long Dan, "Call Lao Qin to ask."

Long Dan hurried to wake up Lao Qin and Jiang Zhan.

Jiang Zhan had a rare good night's sleep these days. Being woken up like this made his eyes red. He asked vaguely, "What's wrong?"

The fear that Long Dan felt when he found out that the body was missing turned into admiration: "Second Master, you can sleep so soundly under such circumstances..."

Jiang Zhan's face was slightly hot as he explained, "Only if you sleep well can you have the strength to hurry on. Is it that the prince has returned? Hiss, is it possible that the prince has run into trouble?"

He said that killing the head of a family should not be done so rashly. It was not like he didn't have to think about anything on the battlefield and could just pick up a big knife and chop people off, and the heads he chopped off would count as achievements.

Always plan carefully!

"Our master has returned a long time ago without any trouble. The body I hid is missing, so the master asked everyone to go and have a look."

When Jiang Zhan heard this, his mind became completely clear, and he hurried over with Long Dan.

Long Dan pointed to the ground and said, "When I lived here before, I found an alley not far from the inn. Deep in the alley was an abandoned house with a dry well. Today, the prince asked me to deal with the body. I thought this place was just right, so I brought the body here and stuffed it into the dry well, and even pressed a stone under it. How could a good body disappear?"

Yu Jin carefully observed the surroundings under the light of the oil lamp, especially the stone that Long Dan mentioned to hold down the well mouth. He stared at it for a while and said, "The stone has been moved away. The person who moved it must be a young man whose strength has not yet grown."

"Young man?" Long Dan was confused. "Master, how can you be sure it is a young man?"

Yu Jin pointed to the traces from the wellhead to the stone and said, "Look at these traces. They are obviously left by dragging the stone and letting it roll down. This shows that the person who moved the stone was not very strong. A stone of this size can be moved by an adult man. There is no need to exert so much effort."

"So that's how it is." Long Dan nodded in agreement.

Jiang Zhan disagreed: "It may not be a young man with insufficient strength, it may be a woman."

Yu Jin uttered two words: "Footprints."

"Footprints?" Jiang Zhan couldn't help but look down, and sure enough, he could make out some shallow footprints on the ground.

He immediately understood the reason without Yu Jin's explanation.

Although the footprints were not big, they were obviously not traces left by women's shoes. This confirmed Yu Jin's guess that the person who moved the stone was most likely a teenager, or an adult man who was naturally short and thin.

Jiang Zhan's eyes suddenly tightened, and he pointed at a place and said, "Look at this pair of footprints. This must have been left by a tall adult man!"

Jiang Si took a look and said casually: "Well, this should be left by the corpse."
