Chapter 182 Assassin
"City Lord, Madam, something bad has happened!" Song Dagui ran in as if his butt was on fire, even forgetting to salute. It was obvious that he had run all the way here, gasping for breath and unable to recover for a long time.
"What happened?" Rong Chen and Shu Wan looked at each other and saw shock and worry in each other's eyes.
At this time, Songyang County really couldn't withstand any wind and rain, but Song Dagui's expression would not have been like this if it hadn't been a big deal.
Shu Wan and Rong Chen thought at the same time, could it be that many more people were found to be infected with the virus, or that a large number of people died! "In reply to the city lord... your subordinates... your subordinates have caught an assassin!" Song Dagui took great pains to finish the sentence.
"Assassin?" This was really unexpected. Shu Wan was extremely shocked. His first reaction was that the plague that broke out in Songyang County and even the entire Heishui City was man-made, and the assassin who was caught now was the murderer.
"To the city lord and madam, yes, we caught an assassin!" Song Dagui replied, "However, this assassin is a little strange..."
"Where did you catch him? Why is he so strange?" Shu Wan asked first.
"Madam, this assassin mixed in with the vegetables delivered today." Song Dagui answered truthfully, "Just now when I was leading people to inspect the vegetables and preparing to move them in, I suddenly discovered this slightly disheveled assassin. I wanted to arrest her immediately, but she was noisy and making a fuss, saying that she was not an assassin, but came to our Songyang County as a volunteer and to help. She also said that Madam could prove her identity. I didn't believe it at first, but she didn't seem to be lying, so I came to report to Madam and the city lord, and asked the city lord and madam to make the decision. I was afraid of hurting her by mistake..." Only then did he explain the whole story.
"Mixed in with the vegetables?" She was a little bit incredulous. "Where were these vegetables shipped from today?" She really couldn't imagine who it was.
"Madam, it was shipped from the main city!"
These days, the entire Heishui City is sending supplies to Songyang County, with supplies arriving in an endless stream every day. Every item is recorded in the book, including which county it was sent from, or which wealthy merchant sent it.
"Let's go and take a look!" Shu Wan frowned slightly. Indeed, everyone she knew was there, but she really didn't know who was coming for a moment!
So Rong Chen and Shu Wan followed Song Dagui.
From a distance, I could hear the assassin that Song Dagui mentioned speaking.
"I've already said that I'm not an assassin. I'm here to help. Have you ever seen an assassin as good-looking as me? I really know the city lord's wife. If you don't believe me, she'll be here soon! Just wait and see how I deal with you guys!"
It was a little girl, with her back to Shu Wan and the others, standing there with her hands on her hips, expressing her dissatisfaction indignantly.
It’s really not Shu Wan’s fault. Her mind was full of other things and she really couldn’t tell who the owner of the voice was.
"Greetings to the city lord, greetings to the madam!" At this time, someone noticed Shu Wan and Rong Chen walking towards this side, and saluted.
The woman turned around when she heard that, and Shu Wan finally saw her face clearly.
Before Shu Wan had time to recall who this person was, she didn't expect that the other party would rush towards her with an extremely exaggerated expression.
