A flash of shock and panic appeared in the masked man's eyes, and he was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide!
However, Shen Yanchuan did not give him this opportunity.
He struck the masked man with a knife, and his eyes rolled back and he passed out.
The door was opened and Lian Zhou came in quietly. When he saw the scene in the room, his expression was startled.
"They really can't stand it anymore."
Shen Yanchuan raised the tip of his knife and saw a strange face that looked to be in his early twenties.
"Xu Jie is indeed problematic. He sent people here before he even arrived in Changzhou."
Unfortunately, I don’t know whether Xu Jie overestimated himself or underestimated him, thinking that he could be dealt with by sending a killer with some skills.
Lian Zhou stepped forward, used a rope and tied the man up in no time.
He sniffed, smelled the faint sweet scent in the air, and snorted.
"This man also came prepared. He actually prepared soul-devouring incense. If an ordinary person smells just a little bit of this smoke, they will fall into a deep sleep for the whole night without any consciousness."
When Shen Yanchuan entered the room, he had already noticed that there was someone under the bed. In order not to make a fuss, he waited until night and took action himself.
Lian Zhou tied the rope into a knot, then raised his hand to remove the man's jaw, making it impossible for him to commit suicide. Then he snorted softly:
"It's a pity that they don't know that Su Mu is best at using poison. Although he didn't come with us this time, he already prepared various antidotes."
In front of Su Mu, these are just trifles.
Chen Yanchuan played with the dagger and raised his eyebrows slightly: "However, Xu Jie only sent one person this time. Maybe he has been away from the capital for a long time and can't even see the current situation clearly."
Lian Zhou said: "Well! I guess he heard about your injury some time ago and thought you haven't recovered yet!"
For this trip, Shen Yanchuan specially chose a horse-drawn carriage.
It is indeed difficult for people who don't know the situation to guess his situation.
Lian Zhou said proudly: "They certainly can't imagine that you have Miss Ye Er, and you've already recovered!"
Shen Yanchuan paused.
My mood, which had been a little disturbed by the smell of that greasy and intoxicating smoke, inexplicably calmed down a lot.
He tilted his head slightly, and the sound of rain continued outside the window.
It’s raining heavily. I wonder what the weather is like in Qingzhou?
"Master? Master?"
Lian Zhou called out twice before Shen Yanchuan came back to his senses.
Seeing his master's rare distracted look, Lian Zhou didn't dare to ask him what he was thinking about at the moment. He coughed and asked carefully: "Um... how do you think this person should be dealt with?"
The glimmer in Shen Yanchuan's eyes turned cold.
"Give it to Xi Su for interrogation, clean it up, and return it to Lord Xu's residence."
Lian Zhou was startled: "Yes!"
He stood up and clapped his hands twice, and then two more people silently climbed in from the window.
Lian Zhou threw the masked man over, and the two men quickly disappeared again.
Except for a gust of autumn wind carrying rain that blew in through the window, there was no trace left in the room, as if nothing had happened.
Lian Zhou said again: "Master, this Shiluan City seems a little strange."
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyelids slightly.
Lian Zhou concentrated and said, "Today, I went out to investigate and met a few people who were returning from mining on the street."
Chen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes: "Shiluan City doesn't seem to have any minerals."
"It seems to be a small iron mine. I asked about it and they said it was discovered last year. It's just that it's very small, so it didn't attract much attention."
If it is a large iron mine, it must be reported to the government, but small ones like this will basically be occupied by private individuals.
"Originally this is nothing, but..."
Lian Zhou paused, his expression becoming more serious.
"From what I have seen, the identities of those people do not seem to be simple." (End of this chapter)
