Chapter 199 Dressed as a Playful Young Master (98)

Li Feng knew that he couldn't stay any longer. He was either asked to die by Hao Yun, or punished to death by the governor after he found out.

"My lord, I still have something to do when I think about it. You can eat first, and I will come over to clean up the dishes later." After speaking, he left without looking back, but his footsteps were a little hurried.

Early the next morning, Shen Yan disguised himself and came to the magistrate's office to go to Zhuangzi with Du Zhong.

Today is the day when Eucommia delivers grain and meat to Zhuangzi, but the housekeeper is responsible for transporting it on weekdays. Today, the guard guarding the gate saw that it was Du Zhong and asked, "Why is Master Du coming here today? Where is Steward Yang?" Who is this young man, why haven't I seen it before."

Du Zhong approached the man and stuffed an ingot of silver with him and said, "This is Steward Yang's nephew. Steward Yang was ill two days ago, so we brought him here because of lack of manpower."

The guard's face improved a bit after collecting the money, and he looked Shen Yan up and down again before saying: "You know the rules, don't look at what you shouldn't look inside, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"I know, I've already told him."

Shen Yan smoothly followed the crowd into the courtyard, and then went to the warehouse in the backyard, only to see that there were still dozens of bags of rice inside, and now Eucommia had transported several cartloads of grain.Shen Yan silently estimated the number of people here, and looked around by carrying the food.

There was a faint sound of ping-pong in my ears, although it was faint but continuous. "This is the sound of iron striking."

After the food was piled up, Shen Yan made excuses to go to the latrine but was rejected by the guards.On the way back, Shen Yan sat in the carriage without saying a word, while Du Zhong beside him hesitated and said, "Did you find something wrong?"

"When did you lend this yard to them, and what are they using it for?"

Du Zhong thought for a while and said: "A year ago, a man wearing a mask came to my mansion and said that he would cooperate with me. When I heard the conditions he promised, I obsessively agreed."

"Apart from his appearance, what is his body shape?"

Du Zhong glanced at him and said, "It's about the same height as an adult. From the look of Shan Cong's aura, he is the kind of person who has been in a high position for a long time and has his own noble air. Judging from the outline of the skin exposed under the mask, his appearance is not too bad. .”

Shen Yan already had the answer in his heart, and asked again: "Apart from the food that needs to be sent every month, have you ever sent them any other supplies?"

"And clothes and coal."

"What kind of clothes, coal."

"They are all coarse clothes worn by ordinary people. The coal has been specially treated. They heard that it will not be poisoned and burn for a long time. They asked me to transport it there."

Shen Yan stopped talking, at first he was just guessing, but now he combined with the sound of ping-pong he heard.Finally figured it out, "Sure enough."

The carriage came to the city and stopped in a secluded alley.After Du Zhong left in the carriage, Shen Yan still stood in the alley with his hands behind his back.

"Come out."

Seeing that he was exposed, the killer who followed along the way stopped hiding.They looked at each other, took the knife and slashed at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan didn't make a move, and dodged easily, and the Dongchang guards who rushed up behind him stepped forward and subdued everyone in two or three strokes.

Seeing that they were captured, these people took poison and committed suicide without struggling.

Shen Yan seemed to know it a long time ago, glanced at the corpse on the ground and said lightly: "Clean it up."

On the street, people were still coming and going, and the sound of hawking could not be heard.Ana Shen unconsciously came to the stall selling candied haws on a stick.

The owner of the street vendor immediately recognized him as the man who spent a lot of money these days, and hurriedly greeted him: "Young master is here to buy candied haws for your sweetheart again."

"how do you know."

"Every time the young master holds this candied haws, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes are gentle. If it is not for giving it to my sweetheart, I can't think of other things that can make the young master like this."

Although he knew that the peddler was intentionally trying to please him, he felt comfortable hearing this, and happily gave him a tael of silver.The peddler was so happy and said many words of blessing again and again.
