Daewoo Casino.
As soon as Song Shuwan entered, she was startled by the noise inside. Just as she was wondering, a man with a stooped back came to her side.
"This madam, is this your first time coming to Daewoo Casino?"
Song Shuwan glanced at him, ignored his inquiry, and replied: "I'm looking for Chen San."
The man's eyes flashed: "It turns out I'm looking for Chen San. Does Madam have any tokens?"
"Token?"
Song Shuwan repeated it, and as soon as she frowned, Shan Hai, who was following behind, handed over a sign.
The man looked at it and immediately bowed: "Guys, please follow me."
Several people arrived at the backyard of the gambling house, and the man said "wait a moment" and left.
Song Shuwan turned around: "Is that Chen San special?"
Shan Hai nodded: "Chen San is an information dealer. He has a lot of information. Because it is accurate, many people will come here. After a long time, they will need tokens to see him."
I see.
Song Shuwan suddenly realized, and just as she was speaking, there was a sound of a cane tapping the ground, followed by a male voice with a mean tone.
"You want to see me? What should I call you?"
Song Shuwan turned around and saw only a lame man appeared, so she decisively took out the bracelet.
Chen San's expression froze: "You... just follow me into the house."
Several people entered the room. Chen San looked at Song Shuwan with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes: "You are so bold. You dared to take out that bracelet without even confirming my identity."
Song Shuwan said calmly: "Are you sure it matters? After all, this is your territory, and you can't let others pretend to be you, right?"
Chen Sanqian laughed a few times: "That's true."
He paused as he spoke, and his eyes fell on Song Shuwan again: "Can you show me that bracelet?"
Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows and handed the bracelet over without asking any questions.
Chen San looked at it carefully for a while, then took apart the bracelet after some fiddling.
"Yes, this is indeed the bracelet I know. Are you Princess Pei? I heard that you left the capital, why are you back now?"
Song Shuwan didn't answer and asked instead: "Aren't you selling information? Do you still need me to tell you the reason?"
Chen San restored the bracelet: "I have some guesses, but I'm not sure, so I asked."
Song Shuwan smiled without saying anything.
In the silence, Chen San stood up and handed back the bracelet: "I know your purpose of coming, and I can hand over all the people left by the madam to you tomorrow, but...do you have time to manage it?"
Song Shuwan leaned forward slightly: "As long as I can get my wish, I don't care whether I manage the manpower she left behind."
As soon as he said this, Chen San nodded: "I understand. I will send a few experts to your side to protect your safety. If you have any instructions, you can also let me handle it through them."
After the two parties finalized the subsequent arrangements, Song Shuwan left with the five people.
Back at the inn, after Qinglian left, Shanhai suddenly said: "Madam, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"It seems that there are still people alive in the Zhen family."
Song Shuwan looked surprised: "There is still someone alive in the Zhen family, who is it?"
"General Zhen."
Zhen Rong?
Song Shuwan frowned instantly: "Didn't General Zhen disappear the day something happened to the Zhen family?"
"According to the situation of the Zhen family at that time, General Zhen is indeed gone, but... Xuanyu Pavilion recently discovered the secret power of the Zhen family. Someone mobilized to investigate and found the Zhen family."
Song Shuwan questioned: "That doesn't mean that the living person is General Zhen, right?"
"The investigators heard that the force called the man behind it a general."
As soon as these words came out, Song Shuwan lost her voice instantly. Zhen Rong was indeed the only general related to the Zhen family.
Silence spread. Song Shuwan walked around the room twice and asked, "Can you find the whereabouts of that person?"
Shan Hai shook his head: "We haven't found him yet. The man is very cautious. Ever since the people from Xuanyu Pavilion discovered him, he has been lurking and has been silent."
Song Shuwan pinched her eyebrows: "Check, we must find out who is alive in the Zhen family."
Shanhai bowed and retreated.
Song Shuwan stood alone for a moment, feeling a headache. These things were happening one after another, so much that she couldn't react.
If this continues, could it be that she didn't do anything and was bound to be unable to move by the things outside?
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, Song Shuwan had been staying in the inn, while Chen San and the people from Xuanyu Pavilion were searching the entire capital. The former was checking for forces that had moved recently, and the latter was looking for people from the Zhen family.
At the same time, news came out from the palace that the Queen Mother's head wind syndrome had recurred, and the entire hospital was unable to deal with the disease. The emperor sent people to leave the capital and wanted to go to the Valley of Miracle Doctors to invite people to come for diagnosis and treatment.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the sent people left the capital, they were intercepted and killed on the way.
The emperor was furious when he received the news and sent the entire imperial army to search the capital. He quickly set the target and directly killed the officials and their families who had just entered the capital.
As soon as this incident came out, the entire capital was in an uproar, but no one dared to comment on the emperor's behavior at this time. Everyone held their breath for fear of endangering themselves by saying something they shouldn't have said.
In this tense atmosphere, Song Shuwan received news from Shanhai. Xuanyu Pavilion found out the person's current residence, which was in a villa outside the city.
"That villa was secretly bought by the Zhen family a few years ago. Except for a few people from Xuanyu Pavilion and the Zhen family, no one knows about the existence of that place."
Song Shuwan narrowed her eyes: "Hitch the carriage, we'll go there immediately."
On this side, Song Shuwan led people to leave the capital. On the other side, Pei Huan led people to approach the capital and live in the nearest village.
An San received the message: "Your Majesty, there is something moving over there in Beidi."
Pei Huan's eyes darkened: "Send the news to the capital. Also, where is Prince Ning?"
"I guess I'm out of the city and should be here soon."
Pei Huan nodded: "Send someone to meet him and ask him to come over as soon as possible."
Pei Huan arrived at the door, looking at the clouds rolling in the sky, frowning. He thought that the Tatars were suppressed, and the Zhou Dynasty would be stable for a while, but he did not expect that now internal and external troubles are coming.
Can he and Lin Yujun really stabilize Da Zhou?
An hour later, King Ning entered the village.
"Prince Pei left in such a mess, why is he back now?"
Pei Huan said calmly: "For the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Prince Ning should know about what happened in Beidi on the border, right?"
Prince Ning's eyes were dark: "I do know, but so what? With the emperor's hostility towards you, do you dare to show your face now?"
"You have to show up even if you don't dare. Every city on the border is important and must not be invaded by Beidi."
Pei Huan said it calmly, but the murderous intent in his words was also obvious.
Prince Ning looked at him and sneered: "Prince Pei is really loyal to the emperor. Even to this extent, he still has to guard Dazhou for him."
Pei Huan said coldly: "I am guarding the great Zhou Dynasty of the people, what does it have to do with him?"
