Shen Tangning seems to be really angry.
Before, she would at least answer his questions, but now she completely ignores him.
Chi Yan wanted to ask her clearly, but he simply didn't have the time. To make matters worse, he recently encountered a tricky case, and he was leaving early and returning late every day. He couldn't even see her, let alone talk to her.
He had to go to court in the morning, and when he got up, Shen Tangning was still asleep. When he returned home late at night, she was already asleep.
Two or three days passed like this, and Chi Yan found it hard to bear. He had a gloomy face every day, and his resentment was greater than that of a ghost. As a result, the people working under him became more and more careful and dared not provoke him at all.
"Commander, our men have been watching them for several days and have figured out the time and place of their transaction, which is right here in this gambling den."
Chi Yan narrowed his eyes coldly, glancing at the darkening sky: "When you go in to get the person, don't let even a fly out!"
Recently, some people have been selling Five-Stone Powder, a highly toxic substance that can cause almost devastating harm to people and is a banned drug explicitly prohibited by the imperial court.
This group of people were so brazenly selling drugs in private, so we couldn't just let it go unchecked. After investigating for several days, we finally traced the gambling den back to a few addicts.
As luck would have it, this gambling den was under the name of Qingyufang. Chi Yan frowned secretly, wondering if this was the Fourth Prince's idea.
He sneered inwardly. The antique forgery case had been covered up by Qingyufang, but this time, the open sale of Wushisan could not be easily let off the hook.
As darkness fell completely, the spies inside gestured that they could move. Chi Yan led his men to surround the gambling den. The men, dressed in bright red brocade robes symbolizing the Yi Luan Division, filed in, and the people inside scattered in panic like birds and beasts!
Several barefoot men with disheveled hair had unfocused eyes, looking like they were on drugs. Caught red-handed, his eyes turned cold.
Everyone instinctively tried to escape through the door, but Chi Yan kicked it over, flipping a gambling table and blocking the door. He then stuck a knife upright on the table, smiling casually and playfully.
"Anyone who dares to run, just try it."
The atmosphere was briefly quiet for a moment. Some people in the crowd exchanged glances and then drew their pre-hidden weapons, engaging the Yi Luan Guards in battle.
In an instant, screams of terror and curses mingled together!
Someone, oblivious to the danger, brandished a weapon and slashed at Chi Yan. Their eyes were filled with the ferocity of a desperate criminal. Chi Yan was already in a bad mood, and this person had run right into the line of fire.
He dodged the blow by sidestepping, grabbed the man's arm with his backhand, dislocated his shoulder, broke his leg, and, finding the man's screams too loud, simply dislocated his jaw as well.
Today he has a large number of people and an overwhelming numerical advantage, but the thorny issue is that there are many innocent civilians among them, which makes it difficult for him to fight effectively.
Chi Yan was wary of these people resorting to desperate measures and attacking the common people. He caught a glimpse of a man slashing at a thin boy with a knife in desperation. He leaped forward and saved the boy, but was accidentally stabbed in the shoulder in the process.
He glanced at the tattered clothes, and his frustration intensified.
——
The man was imprisoned in the imperial prison, and Chi Yan planned to conduct another trial the next day.
Huang San noticed the injury on his shoulder: "Commander, do you need your injury treated?"
This minor injury was nothing to Chi Yan, and he shook his head, refusing, "I'll take care of it myself when I get back."
The other party did not insist, and watched him leave, saying, "Take care, sir."
Chi Yan rode his horse back to the manor, and Ba Liang, who was dozing off in the corridor, suddenly woke up: "Young Master is back?"
