Chapter 140 Suspicion of King Lan

Zhuo Yu now felt so disgusted with the thieves that his back teeth were making a crunching sound.

He resisted the urge to rush out and shout to catch the thief, and continued to follow the black shadow.

The snow stopped and the temperature dropped even lower. Except for a few red-light districts, the entire capital city was almost shrouded in the silence of the night.

At midnight, even the barking of dogs as usual could not be heard, and the patrolling guards also came less frequently. They all wished they could hide in their beds or places with heaters.

Zhuo Yu found that the black shadow seemed quite happy and walked very lightly, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Being such an arrogant and reckless thief, he will be capsized sooner or later.

When I find their lair, I will tell the government directly and let them go to jail!

No, this group of people might not only be thieves, but also murderers. Otherwise, why would the female thief cut off Eunuch Yan's legs and pin the crime on him?

Thinking about all the troubles he had suffered in the past two months, Zhuo Yu's blood began to boil. Tonight he would finally know the truth.

Who are they? Who is the female thief?

But soon, Zhuo Yu discovered that this group of people were heading towards the slums in Beijing.

As he was suspicious, he saw the black shadow stop in the poorest area of ​​the imperial city, and then quickly untied the bag on his backpack.

He watched the guy throw pieces of silver under the eaves of poor people's houses.

Zhuo Yu was shocked. This thief was actually... robbing the rich and helping the poor!

It was not until the black shadow's bag was empty, shook it, folded it up and stuffed it into his waist that Zhuo Yu realized that every shabby doorway of every household in this area had a few taels of silver coins.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, but there is no festive atmosphere in this slum area. There is not even a lantern.

These people don't have enough to eat or wear on a normal day, so how can they think about celebrating the New Year? This little bit of change is really enough for them to have a good New Year.

Zhuo Yu watched the black shadow divide the silver and then head towards the inner city. He hurriedly followed, but his mood at this moment was extremely complicated.

For example, Wanyao Pavilion would give alms to the poor when natural disasters or man-made calamities occurred or at the end of each year, but the amount would not be too large.

This was when he first started to be the young master. Thinking of his life as an orphan and the time when he had to fight with dogs for food in the land temple as a child, he gave this order. Most of the money was earned from completing his missions.

Because the medicinal materials all have an account number, his adoptive father will check the whereabouts of the money, and he does not want his adoptive father to know that he is helping the poor.

He really couldn't express his feelings at the moment in words. Could it be that group of female thieves were chivalrous men?

I continued to follow the shadow. The sound of night watchmen rang out on the street. Before I knew it, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Zhuo Yu saw that the black shadow had already reached an area that he was familiar with, but he was not surprised, after all, the female thief had been in this area before.

Suddenly, the black shadow in front disappeared. Zhuo Yu was stunned. How could it be so fast? He immediately took a deep breath and chased after it.

But the figure just disappeared, which made Zhuo Yu unbelievable. He was clearly staring at him, so how could he suddenly disappear?

He immediately looked at the houses on both sides in front of him. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.

What's in front of us is... Prince Lan's Palace!

Zhuo Yu nodded and felt dizzy for a moment. The black shadow was someone from Prince Lan's Mansion.

He was sure that the black shadow had not discovered him along the way. After all, he knew his own strength, so there was no possibility of framing him.

And who is stronger than him?

Are you the guard of King Lan?

Impossible. There are very few guards who are stronger than him and have good martial arts skills.

Then the answer is obvious.

Lord Lan, Huo Lan!

This person is the sickly handsome man whom he couldn't understand in Chen Guo.

The various things that happened in the State of Chen also made him suspect that King Lan was the one who caused him to suffer the loss and step on cow dung.

But Prince Lan had been ill for a long time, and he had seen with his own eyes how sickly his stunning face was, and how it seemed like it would break at the slightest touch. Could he be pretending?

Zhuo Yu stood in the dark for a long time, thinking for a long time, until a chill woke him up.

He raised his eyes to glance at the wall of Prince Lan's Mansion and left quickly.

The next day, when the drunk Lan Yan woke up, he saw Zhuo Yu lying on the beauty couch in his room. He was so scared that he almost fell off the bed.

Why is this guy sleeping here?

Zhuo Yu heard the noise, opened his eyes, looked at Lan Yan's surprised expression and said, "You drank too much last night."

Lan Yan rubbed his head and quickly remembered that he was drunk as a bastard last night. He didn't feel anything when he drank the osmanthus wine, but the aftereffects were really strong.

"You didn't go back?" Lan Yan asked.

"Here I am again. I forgot something."

Lan Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You and Doctor Ji have been to Prince Lan's Palace, right?"

Lan Yan was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "I have been there, and Ji Xingyun went with me."

"Has King Lan taken your Thousand Bow Grass?" Zhuo Yu lowered his eyes.

"Ji Xingyun sold it to Miss Mo. Prince Lan should have drunk it."

"Has the poison of King Lan been lifted?"

Lan Yan's heart was pounding, and she always felt that Zhuo Yu looked a little strange.

"The remaining poison has not yet been cleared. After all, Prince Lan was poisoned by numerous kinds of poisons before. How can he recover so quickly?"

"Have you taken Prince Lan's pulse?" Zhuo Yu raised his cold eyes and looked at him seriously.

Lan Yan pretended to get out of bed, took his clothes and put them on the bed, but his mind was racing. He didn't know why Zhuo Yu suddenly came to ask about Prince Lan.

The master warned him not to tell anyone about Prince Lan's recovery.

"Of course I took your pulse, otherwise why would I go to Prince Lan's Mansion?" Lan Yan said with a smile.

"Then have you found out that Prince Lan knows martial arts?" When Zhuo Yu said this, Lan Yan's heart sank.

"If Prince Lan didn't have some martial arts skills, he would have died of illness long ago." Lan Yan felt that he couldn't deceive him on this issue.

"Is your internal strength strong?" Zhuo Yu asked again.

Lan Yan thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. After all, I didn't take his pulse when he was practicing. But Prince Lan's body is really disabled and weak. He can't even be a man for the time being. He is a pitiful person."

Zhuo Yu was stunned. Can’t be a man?

But he didn't ask any more questions. He just glanced at Lan Yan and said, "How about taking me to see King Lan today?"

Lan Yan was stunned and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to see Prince Lan? Did something happen?"

After thinking for a while, Zhuo Yu told what happened last night.

Lan Yan thought to himself that this was terrible. Although he didn't know whether the black shadow was Prince Lan, Zhuo Yu noticed that this guy was determined to get to the bottom of things and would not let go until he found out the truth.

At this moment, Lan Yan felt that his head was going to be bald, and he had to tell his master immediately.

"You can't just go into Prince Lan's Mansion whenever you want. You have to write an invitation. How about tomorrow?" Lan Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"No need. Just come and ask for an audience. I believe that Prince Lan will see me. After all, I helped him and Miss Mo a lot when I was in Jiutian Pavilion. Prince Lan will not refuse to see me. Let's have breakfast and then go over."

Zhuo Yu walked out after he finished speaking. Lan Yan suddenly became anxious and had to give a message to his master first.
