"Young Master Su, please don't misunderstand. I don't mean to make things difficult for you. It's just that something big has happened in the city recently. The county lord died inexplicably, and the city is under martial law.”
"If you really want to leave, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while longer!”
Commandant Chen quickly explained. Now that his superior, Liu Changzhou, had died in an accident, the situation in the city was chaotic. He did not want to offend another noble son from Bianjing.
"Oh?"
"This is not a problem. It just so happens that Uncle Shen's body has yet to recover and can rest here for a period of time before we continue on our journey.”
"Since that's the case, I still have things to do. I'll visit again in a few days when I'm free!”
"Take care, Commandant Chen."
Su Li looked at Commandant Chen, who was leading his troops into the distance. Her eyes were filled with inexplicable thoughts. In their conversation just now, although the other party's tone was respectful, there was no lack of warning in it. It seemed that the matter had not come to an end.
When he returned to his room, Shen Fu looked at Su Li with a hesitant expression on his face. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
"May I ask if the death of County Magistrate Liu is related to you?”
After receiving Su Li's direct answer, Shen Fu was shocked. He knew that his benefactor's ability was extraordinary, but he did not expect his courage to be even more extraordinary!
"Speaking of this matter, I want to ask you who this Chen Xiaowei is. From what I can see, his gaze towards you also harbors ill intentions.”
Su Li turned around leisurely and looked at Shen Fu.
"His name is Chen Zizhuang, and he is the county captain of the city. He is in charge of the city's soldiers, so everyone calls him Lieutenant Chen. His official position is only below Liu Changzhou.”
"Chen Zizhuang has always been in cahoots with Liu Changqing. He was involved in the great changes in our Shen family!”
It could be seen that Shen Fu did not have a good impression of Chen Zizhuang. After all, he was an accomplice in the destruction of the Shen family. It was inevitable that he had some hatred.
"Don't worry, we will definitely take revenge. Now, we have to recuperate well. Only then will we have the strength to hold a saber in the future.”
In the following period of time, the situation in the city was turbulent. An Feng County, which had lost its highest official, became the world of County Governor Li Pinghe County Lieutenant Chen Zizhuang.
There was a knock on the door. After opening the door, a green-robed manservant appeared in front of Su Li.
"My Lord Chen has invited Young Master Su to the Veranda of Emerald for a while.”
Su Li looked at the invitation card in front of her and understood in her heart.
At this time, it had been half a month since the city was sealed. The commoners were anxious, and business travelers were blocked. According to the rumors, the higher-ups of An Feng County were under pressure from the higher-ups and had planned to reopen the city.
During this period of time, Chen Zizhuang had repeatedly wanted to make a move on the Shen father and son, but Su Li had used all sorts of methods to thwart his plans. It seemed like this was his final ultimatum.
Since ancient times, brothels had been a place that many men yearned for. Not to mention that the city was sealed off this time, and the public was anxious. In order to vent the anger in their hearts, the business here was naturally even more prosperous.
"Hahaha, Young Master Su, you have graced us with your presence. Chen Zizhuang is truly delighted. Come, let me introduce you to each other.”
"This is Su Li from Bianjing. Young Master Su, I'm fortunate to have met him during the city's lockdown. This is our Anfeng County Deputy, Li Shiping, Lord Li.”
"I've long heard of the great name of County Deputy Li. In Anfeng City, my ears are about to grow calluses.”
As the saying goes, the person in the sedan chair carries the person. Since there was no grudge between the two parties and the other party's background was extraordinary, Li Shiping would not be stingy with his words.
During the banquet, the three parties chatted happily. Of course, it was mainly Su Li and Li Shiping who were talking. As a martial artist, Chen Zizhuang could not interject at all.
"Oh right, Lord Chen suddenly invited the two of us here. I'm afraid it's not just for drinking and having fun, right?”
"Young Master Su is indeed intelligent. I invited the two of you here for one thing, a chance to make a fortune!”
Chen Zizhuang raised his glass and drank to his heart's content, his expression solemn.
"Make a fortune?"
As for Li Shiping, he frowned slightly and a trace of displeasure appeared on his face. It was obvious that he did not want to talk about this topic.
Chen Zizhuang laughed.
"Oh, I remember that I also said that I would help him open a restaurant in Bianjing.”
"Wait, you mean…"
"Young Master Su, how can it be more satisfying to do the dowry for others than to do it yourself? If we get the Shen family's secret recipe, the three of us will work together and this monstrous wealth will belong to us.”
"As long as Young Master Su agrees, I will capture the Shen father and son and torture them. I am not afraid that he will not confess!”
As Chen Zizhuang spoke, his eyes were red, his tone was sinister, and his face was filled with greed!
"Lord Chen, do you know how many laws this has violated? Since there are only the three of us here, I can pretend that I didn't hear anything!”
"But, this won't happen again!"
Moreover, as a scholar, he had his own style.
"I know why you called us here today, but I, Li Shiping, can't afford to be robbed like this. Goodbye!”
With that, he turned around and left without hesitation.
"This…"
Chen Zizhuang's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the two of them leave. He did not say anything, but the invisible killing intent that he revealed made one's heart tremble.
"You forced me to do this!"
