Chapter 416: Chen Ke and his wife plotted assassination



When the Second Lady heard that the Second Master knew nothing, she became a little worried.

"Oh, then I will go to Lingwu Temple tomorrow to pray for Xia girl's safety and blessings." The second wife muttered and began to pack her things for tomorrow's trip to Lingwu Temple.

The second master nodded, "You should go. Bring your daughter-in-law with you!"

This eldest nephew's wife helped their second branch a lot in the past.

The second lady is worried about Xia Tian here.

On the other side, Chen Ke and Liu Jin'er couldn't help laughing when they heard the news of the Linzhou earthquake!

"Hahaha, God is merciful!" Chen Ke said harshly, "I really hope God will take them away."

Liu Jin'er also felt relieved. "Although your good brother is still alive, your good sister-in-law is still in danger! She might have been crushed to death long ago!"

Liu Jin'er also felt relieved. It would be great if Xia Tian was really dead.

At the beginning, her second uncle sent people to assassinate Shen Nian and his wife, but they failed and lost so many of his own people. Her second uncle was very angry at the time.

Even she wanted to kill the couple directly.

"Humph, God is so blind. He should have smashed those two troublemakers to death!" Chen Ke felt so uncomfortable when he thought that Chen Nian was still alive.

"Cousin, do you think we should send someone again?" Liu Jin'er whispered to Chen Ke.

Chen Ke was stunned for a moment before reacting, "You mean..." He raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Liu Jin'er nodded. "They were lucky last time; they escaped. This time, the Linzhou earthquake will surely cause chaos. We can take advantage of the situation and maybe succeed!"

Liu Jin'er analyzed the situation carefully for Chen Ke, "We can also disguise ourselves as refugees and take his life when he's least prepared, making it impossible for him to find us."

Shen Ke pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's a good idea."

That way, if Shen Nian really died, the cause would definitely not be traced back to him.

But there is one thing, his father also has to go to Linzhou.

If his father arrived in Linzhou and reunited with Shen Nian, it would be difficult to take action.

"But it may be too late now. My father has already packed up and left." Chen Ke still felt that he could not catch up in time.

They couldn't possibly kill his elder brother in front of his father, could they?

"Don't worry, we'll just disguise ourselves and no one will know we're the ones sending them," Liu Jin'er said nonchalantly. "There are bound to be a lot of earthquake refugees in Linzhou, and there are bound to be some who are dissatisfied with the government. Who's going to know who they are?"

Is Liu Jin'er afraid that she can't kill him?

If it weren’t for Shen Nian and his wife, she would still be the eldest daughter of Lingxiu Marquis’s Mansion!

Why must I fall to the point of trying to make a living in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion?

Liu Jin'er now hopes that Shen Nian and his wife will die more than Shen Ke.

"Okay, let's discuss it!" Chen Ke was persuaded by Liu Jin'er, and the two discussed sending people to Linzhou.

Shen Nian and Xia Tian knew nothing about the people and things in the capital.

Besides, even if they knew, they wouldn’t have the mind to think about anything else.

The things happening in Sangluo City have already kept the two of them busy and exhausted.

"Brother Shen, you should take a rest too." Xia Tian felt a little distressed when he saw Shen Nian working non-stop for three or four days.

"It's okay. These few days are critical. Lord Cao and Lord Wang are watching from the front and have not had a rest." Shen Nian pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

In order to save people these days, not only the officials had no time to rest, but all the people who could move in Sangluo City were mobilized.

Now, almost all those who can be rescued have been rescued, and the dead have been properly buried.

The weather is hot, and we must also prevent the recurrence of epidemics.

There were still many things on Shen's mind, and Xia Tian was not at peace either. He took out the spiritual spring water as if it were free. To be honest, if it weren't for the spiritual spring water, the people of Linzhou would have lost more than half of their lives.

"Then you should also take care of your health." Xia Tian pressed Chen Nian on the chair and gently pressed his temples.

"Thank you for your hard work, madam." Shen Nian closed his eyes and took Xia Tian's hand on his shoulder.

After a while, he fell asleep leaning on the chair.

After sleeping for about half an hour, Xia Tian woke him up.

I know he is busy and can't sleep well.

They can only feel at ease after things in Linzhou are almost settled.

On the other side, Marquis Wu'an was riding at full speed with his men towards Linzhou.

Six days later, we finally arrived in Linzhou.

"Who are you looking for?" The gatekeeper of the governor's office saw someone trying to break in and quickly stopped him.

"How dare you! This is Marquis Wu'an!" the guard stepped forward and shouted.

The yamen runner was startled, but still did not move aside. However, his attitude became much more respectful. "My Lord, our governor has gone out to check. I wonder why you are here..."

The yamen runners did not doubt the identity of Marquis Wu'an. After all, no one who dared to impersonate Marquis Wu'an had been born in this world.

But the government office was an important place, and he couldn't let anyone in at will.

"I came to Linzhou on the orders of the emperor. Please take me to see your governor first!" Marquis Wu'an had a good temper and did not put on airs.

The yamen runners didn't dare to really stop Wu'an Hou outside the door and said, "My Lord, please rest in the yamen for a while. I will go and find the governor."

He didn't dare let Marquis Wu'an follow him to see the governor.

What if it was the emperor who sent people to punish us? Wouldn’t that harm the governor?

"No need, lead the way." Wu Anhou suddenly wanted to see what Shen Nian was doing.

He had never seen his son as a governor.

The yamen runners saw that Marquis Wu'an didn't seem to be joking, so although they were reluctant, they still took them to find Shen Nian.

Chen Nian was currently directing people to disinfect Sangluo City inside and out. The earthquake had left many people homeless.

Many children have become orphans and many elderly people have no one to take care of them.

Shen Nian first built a charity hall to take in these elderly people and children.

Now I am just watching the disinfection here.

This was the scene that Marquis Wu'an saw when he arrived.

"Boss?" Before the yamen runner could report, Marquis Wu'an walked over and shouted from a distance away.

When Shen Nian heard the call, he thought he had misheard it. He looked up and found that it was really his father, "Father, why are you here?"

To be honest, at this moment, Shen Nian was a little moved. He didn't expect that the first official to come from the capital would be his father.

"The emperor sent me to Linzhou to help." Marquis Wu'an strode over and patted Shen Nian's shoulders several times.

It has been almost ten days since the Linzhou earthquake. Since he arrived in Linzhou, especially in Sangluo City, he saw that although there were ruins everywhere after the earthquake, it was not in a mess. He knew that Shen Nian must have done a lot of work during this period.

Although the people on the street looked miserable, they were in good spirits.

Porridge stalls were set up in several places, and people lined up to get porridge in an orderly manner.

This is definitely due to the proper management of Linzhou officials.

Marquis Wu'an felt a sense of pride in his heart!
