Chapter 504 - 5

387  "Oh, thank you, brother."

  "You're welcome. You're welcome."

  Chen Jie said this with a smile, his expression was quite calm.

  I pray in my heart, please leave quickly.

  Zhao Ya became interested at this time. She didn't leave, but sat down on the long bench to the right of Chen Jie and said, "Brother, you look familiar. Have we met before?"

  Zhao Ya squinted her eyes and looked at Chen Jie.

  Chen Jie clenched his fist under his sleeve, but said with a smile on his face: "Haha, I have an ordinary appearance, and there are many people who look like me. Did you recognize the wrong person, sir?"

  Zhao Ya said, "Really? I don't know why I always feel like you look like an old friend of mine."

  "Old friend?"

  Chen Jie deliberately said, "Sir, you must have made a mistake. Are you here to visit relatives in Mianshui, or to do business?"

  Chen Jie deliberately tried to change the subject.

  But Zhao Ya didn't fall for it. She just stared at Chen Jie and asked, "Brother, are you from Mianshui County?"

  This question stumped Chen Jie. Zhao Ya was an inspector and would meet Yelu sooner or later. As the leader of a local gang, there was a high possibility that he would meet him. If he lied now and was found out in the future, he would probably be suspected.

  Thinking of this, Chen Jie said, "Oh, I guess so. I've been in the city for more than a year."

  "More than a year."

  Zhao Ya heard this and asked, "Then where was he from before?"

  Chen Jie's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but he remained calm and said, "Xiantao Town is a small town. Do you know where it is? The scenery is pretty good. If you have time, you can go there to play."

  "Xiantao Town?"

  Zhao Ya murmured, in fact, she didn't know where she was abducted last time.

  Because she was carried in a sack the entire time, she only knew that she was abducted to a town in the urban and rural areas of Mianshui County. She couldn't remember whether it was Xiantao Town, Yangjia Town, or some other town.

  However, the documents reported by Huangzhou Prefecture recorded that Ni Manzi passed through seven towns along the way, including Xiantao Town.

  Zhao Ya thought about it and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Is there a person in your town who..."

  After thinking about it, Zhao Ya fell silent, because the bastard was wearing a hood and she had no way to describe his appearance. She just smiled bitterly. She kept thinking back to those days this year.

  I was displaced and was kidnapped by Ni Wenjun for a whole month.

  During this month she was bullied by Ni Manzi and was put in a sack every day. Okay, it's okay for you, Ni Manzi, to bully me, but you are a great master and you need your two masters, Xuanbing and Erlao, to rescue you.

  But there was a little thief bullying him.

  It was so abominable. In that stinking cellar, Zhao Ya would never forget the humiliation she experienced. He actually made her pee in her pants right in front of him.

  It's so abominable. Just wait, if I catch you, you will see how I torture you. I will make you suffer all kinds of humiliation!

  Zhao Ya was thinking about it and she squeezed the wine glass in her hand until it creaked. Chen Jie's eyelids twitched when he saw this. He hated himself so much. If he was caught, he would be doomed.

  Thinking of this, Chen Jie swallowed his saliva and said, "Master, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will leave after I finish eating."

  "Oh, sorry, I was distracted. It's fate that we met. Let's have a drink and see you in the rivers and lakes!"

  Zhao Ya raised the wine glass in her hand as she spoke. Chen Jie originally wanted to raise the glass with his right hand, but suddenly he remembered the scar on the base of his right hand, so he simply changed to his left hand and clinked the glass with hers.

  Zhao Ya never expected that she would encounter the cellar thief on her first day in Mianshui.

  So he didn't treat Chen Jie as a little thief, and therefore didn't care that Chen Jie held the wine glass with his left hand, and thought that Chen Jie was left-handed.

  So he clinked glasses with Chen Jie, and they both drank it in one gulp.

  Chen Jie stood up and pretended to pay the bill, but actually pulled the waiter aside and said, "Keep an eye on these four people. I'll send someone over to question them."

  The waiter said, "Don't worry, Master Chen."

  As he spoke here, Chen Jie said goodbye to the waiter and left the inn. At the same time, his heart sank. The inspector from the Mulan people had arrived, and the matter became more complicated.

  I don't know how Xiaohu's investigation is going.

  Thinking this way, Chen Jie left in a hurry. Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie's back and frowned slightly: "Why does he look so much like that little thief?"

  "Sir, what are you looking at?"

  Ah San came over and asked, Ah Da Dao: "Stupid, look at that boy, sir, do you want me to catch that boy and interrogate him for you?"

  Zhao Ya frowned and said, "Can you be more normal? You are imperial envoys of the court, not gangsters. You must abide by the law and not act recklessly. If everyone sees someone as suspicious and you arrest them, what will happen to the world? Okay, I'm going to rest first, you guys eat slowly."

  Zhao Ya said this and went straight upstairs.

  Ah San was confused and asked, "Ah Da, what does the princess mean?"

  "Stupid, the princess is saying that we should abide by the laws of the court and not act recklessly."

  "Hmm? Boss, what's the matter with the court law?"

  Ah Er looked at Ah Da and asked?

  Ah Da picked his teeth and said, "Who knows what the court's laws are? The prince told us that no matter who it is, as long as they threaten the princess, they can be killed without mercy. Laws?"

  "What the hell?"

  Ah San said, "Hiccup~ The south is all about princes, and law? What the prince says is the law, and what the princess says is the law!"

  Ah Er said, "Alright, forget about that, let's drink. The wine in this wine shop is pretty good."

  Ah Da frowned and said, "Drink less, don't delay things."

  Ah Er said: "Don't worry, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

  At this time, Zhao Ya returned to her room, opened the window, and saw Chen Jie walking calmly on the street. He did not seem flustered, as if he was just an ordinary diner who took a walk after a meal.

  "Well, maybe I was wrong."

  Zhao Ya muttered, looking towards the distant city: "Don't worry, little thief, I will definitely find you!"

  Zhao Ya clenched her fists, her eyes filled with anger. She would repay the humiliation she suffered back then double.

  In fact, Zhao Ya was still a good person. When she was rescued, King Ruyang was furious and directly ordered that all the seven towns in Mianshui City where Ni Manzi had lived be razed to the ground to vent his anger for his daughter.

  As a result, Zhao Ya directly rejected Prince Ruyang's idea.

  He also told King Ruyang about theories of governing the country, such as the law should not be abused, the Han people should be treated equally, and one should not massacre a city or destroy a country just because of a momentary anger!

  etc...

  Prince Ruyang was happy that his daughter was sensible and reasonable. She was worthy of being my daughter and had political acumen.

  It just so happened that the higher-ups were selecting an inspector, so Prince Ruyang thought about letting his daughter do it and relax at the same time. It just so happened that his third son was serving as Darughachi in Huangzhou Prefecture, so he let her go to her third brother's place to relax.

  This is how the current scene came about.

  Chen Jie walked steadily through three streets and was quite far away from the inn. When he was sure that the other party could not see him, he ran away.

  Cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.

  As expected of someone from above, Zhao Ya's real strength is still unknown, but his three subordinates are very powerful.

  Especially the third brother, who has a powerful aura. Chen Jie is definitely not his opponent. It even seems that Nan Batian is not his opponent. It seems that this person should be at the Qixue Baodan realm.

  The reason why Chen Jie felt that the third brother was very powerful.

  This is because the strength of the eldest and second oldest should be far greater than that of the third oldest, and Chen Jie's strength is simply unable to sense their strength.

  It was just like he didn't know Ni Wenjun's strength at the beginning. That was caused by the difference in strength.

  Chen Jie felt that these two must be at the Qixue Baodan realm, or even at a higher realm. How terrible, really terrible!

  We must find a way to get rid of these people quickly.

  In addition, Nan Batian must also close the line quickly, otherwise something unexpected will happen.

  Thinking of this, Chen Jie returned to the mansion. Su Yunjin had already prepared the meal. Although Chen Jie had eaten a little at the inn, he was still very hungry, so he ate his fill.

  Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie and said, "Husband, how is Sister Huang?"

  Chen Jie said: "Ah, it's okay."

  Su Yunjin said, "I'm bored at home. If it doesn't work, I'll bring Sister Huang here to take care of the baby together. This way, my husband can take care of her more easily without running back and forth."

  Chen Jie said, "Well, my lady, Huang, the lady doesn't want to come over because she's afraid of disturbing you."

  Su Yunjin heard this and said, "What's the problem? I'll go see my sister when I have time."

  Chen Jie said: "Well, let's wait a few days. I might be very busy recently."

  Su Yunjin suddenly became nervous and looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Is it with Nan Batian?"

  Chen Jie patted her hands and said, "Well, don't worry, I can handle it."

  Su Yunjin said worriedly: "Husband, you must be careful. Sister Huang and I can't live without you."

  After hearing this, Chen Jie patted Su Yunjin's back and said, "Come on, I'll take you back to your room to rest. You need to rest more in your current condition."

  Su Yunjin remained silent and comforted her to sleep.

  Chen Jie went out, and Xiao Hu also came back. He looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Jiu Si, we found it. Nan Batian is really forging weapons in the Beisan Iron Mine Area. He hides it very deep. If I hadn't brought two old miners with me, we wouldn't have been able to find it."

  Chen Jie heard this and asked, "How many did they build?"

  Xiao Hu said, "Not much, but we've been working day and night, so I think it will be a lot in two days."

  Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "Haha, Nan Batian really dares to do this. All right, you ask someone to keep an eye on that place, and I'll go find Daruhachi tomorrow!"

  "good."

  Xiaohu responded.

Chapter 186 The End of Nan Batian

  The next day, Chen Jie packed up and went straight to Yelu Mansion, where he played a big game of chess in order to close the net today.

  If he wants to take down Nan Batian, he must first consume all of Nan Batian's surplus value and make him lose Yelu's trust step by step. Only in this way can he truly kill him and complete his usurpation of the throne.

  Yes.
