When the stall owner heard this, he suddenly laughed ferociously.
Also, as local gangsters in Anshan Lane, if they were provoked like this, if they didn't make some kind of counterattack, they would probably be ridiculed by their peers and lose their status.
The old man would never sit back and watch this happen.
Little bastard, since our hands can't deal with you, let the court come!
…
Throughout the whole day, Chen Shi visited almost every place where Rouge might be present, including the top and bottom of Yingchun Tower. He asked them all.
But the results are all... there is no such person.
A few months ago, Yanzhi disappeared quietly in this capital city as if he had evaporated.
He even wondered if Rouge had gone to other state capitals.
But even so, there will definitely be a letter left, or a message to him.
He would never leave without saying a word like he did now.
He leaned against the wall of the alley, emptying his exhausted body and mind, feeling a little desperate.
As the saying goes, when you have tried every possible situation and still have no results. The remaining one, no matter how absurd it is, has become the result.
Could it be that Yanzhi... really encountered an accident?
Thinking of this, Chen Shi felt an indescribable sadness welling up in his heart.
Rouge's voice and smile gradually appeared in her mind, as well as the happy times of the past.
Now, there are only passing clouds and ruins.
However, his sadness did not last long, as the earthen wall beside him exploded.
A hand stretched out from the exploded earth wall and grabbed his arm tightly.
Chen Shi was shocked, thinking of his sensitive identity and what he had done. After the unspeakable sadness, indescribable panic also came to his heart. He began to struggle violently, trying to break free of the arm.
But the arm was like copper poured into iron, tightly clasping his right arm. If he wanted to break free, he would have to cut off his arm to survive!
But as a fake painter, he naturally does not have such courage.
And even if he had the courage, I'm afraid it would be too late.
In an instant, several figures climbed over the wall over the alley. In the moonlight, Chen Shi could vaguely see their bulging temples.
Obviously, they are all rare practitioners.
These people only needed three strikes, five strikes, and two strikes to completely control Chen Shi.
When Chen Shi saw this, he was shocked and wanted to shout loudly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, one person simply slashed a certain acupuncture point on the back of his neck with a knife, and he was knocked unconscious with one strike.
"This person is very important. I'm afraid someone will rob him halfway."
"We'd better leave here quickly and go to Duke Dingguo's mansion!"
The leader looked around cautiously and said in a deep voice.
They were originally the elite of the Qianlong Camp of the Royal Forest Army, and they were the confidants trained by Zhang Han.
When Li Changkong left Qiandu City that day, he concluded that Prince Jing's Mansion must be empty and he could try to find Chen Shi.
So Zhang Han took them out of the palace and patrolled the area every day in order to find some clues.
Who would have thought that today we would have a huge harvest!
At first, when the stall owner came to report the time, they didn't take it seriously.
I thought to myself, we have been looking for half a month, but we can't even find him. How can we find him by a painting seller? How can it be?
But after all, this matter is of great importance, and even if there is a slight possibility, there is no room for slacking off.
So the four of them came reluctantly with the mentality of giving it a try.
But who would have thought, it is really a big fish!
I'm glad, but also a little regretful.
Because they didn't have much hope, they didn't call anyone, but a few came.
Now they have been caught, but if people from Prince Jing's Mansion come to snatch it, they really can't resist it.
"Yes! Leave quickly and take the path back!"
"I'll explore the way, you follow!"
Several imperial guards quickly discussed a strategy, and quickly left the place together with the one who struggled to climb out of the earth wall.
His steps were brisk, his expression was hurried, and there was a strong uneasiness between his brows.
But... the whole process went surprisingly smoothly.
I don't know if it was because they were walking on a small road, but they didn't even see anyone coming from Prince Jing's Mansion.
Ever since, when they arrived at the Dingguo Palace, a group of people began to feel frightened again.
Don't arrest the wrong person?
But now, it's not up to them to decide whether they arrested the wrong person.
After burning a stick of incense, they entered the main hall of Duke Ding's mansion.
Zhang Han looked at the unconscious Chen Shi in front of him and was overjoyed.
He looked at the imperial guards and said, "Where did you catch him?"
"Information provided by the stall owner of Anshan Lane Painting Market near Yingchun Tower."
Hearing this, Zhang Han stepped forward and touched Chen Shi's face carefully, and even pulled it to make sure it was not a human skin mask. He then looked at his hands and saw thick calluses between his index and middle fingers. Relax.
Painters, especially good painters, paint every day.
There must be friction between the index finger and middle finger, and over time, calluses will develop.
Coupled with the two place names Anshan Lane and Yingchun Tower, all the information is correct.
"Eighty percent of it is true. You have done a great job!"
"When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Anbei come back, I will personally ask for credit for you. By then, you will be promoted to at least two levels in a row!"
When the imperial guards heard this, their eyes gleamed.
You know, they are on the martial arts path, and promotion is more difficult than civil service.
Moreover, they are not the sons of princes like Zhang Han and Li Changkong. Their families have no background. They can reach this point only by personal force.
But that's it. If there are no accidents, I will probably stay in my current position for most of my life.
Who would have thought... that there would be such an opportunity.
"With General Zhang's words, we are satisfied." A group of imperial guards said with a smile.
Zhang Han nodded and said: "Wake him up, I have something important to ask."
"okay."
After a while, Chen Shi was woken up by a basin of cold water. Looking at the scene in front of him, although he was a little scared, he was not panicked.
"Who are you? Why did you tie me up?"
"If it's for money, there's no need to do this. I have plenty of money. As long as you can let me leave safely, I will give you as much money as you want."
As soon as these words came out, the imperial guards looked at each other, all suppressing their smiles.
Zhang Han snorted coldly and said, "It seems that you helped Liu Jing print a lot of counterfeit banknotes."
boom!
Once these words were spoken, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Chen Shi was stunned on the spot, panic visible to the naked eye.
However, he still pretended to be calm and denied: "I don't know what you are talking about. Just like that, let me leave safely and I can give you money."
If Zhang Han's last sentence only made Chen Shi panic, his next sentence completely broke his psychological defense.
"Don't you want to know how Yan Zhi died?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shi's pupils instantly shrank and his eyes widened.
The next moment, he stared at Zhang Han and asked, "Will you tell me?"
Zhang Han nodded and said, "Liu Jing killed her!"
