Moonlight and wind

Chapter 223 Strategy

"Boss, where is the old man who came with us?" Jianyun and Yuwenlin returned to the inn and did not see any sign of other people. They had agreed to meet at noon, but they were delayed due to something. When they came back, they found that they were the first ones to return!

"Young man, that old man and your young lady left the inn with you and never came back," the shopkeeper approached mysteriously, "Do you really have a grudge against Shan Zimo? You'd better be careful, he's very powerful!"

Jianyun ignored the shopkeeper and told the information to Yuwenlin, and the two of them hurriedly left the inn.

As they were standing in the center of the street, not knowing where to look, the people around them who were hurriedly rushing to the yamen to watch the excitement caught their attention.

"Go and have a look! The dead man has turned into a ghost!"

"I heard that the dead man's mouth was grinning from ear to ear! It was horrifying!"

"Stop talking! I've got goosebumps all over the floor! Go away, even if it's scary you have to take a look!"

"Master, should we go check it out as well? Maybe we can find the young master, or some clues."

Yuwenlin nodded, and the two followed the crowd towards the yamen.

At this time, the entrance to the yamen was already crowded with people, and the detectives were impatiently driving away the people who came too close.

"Look! He's still smiling! The corners of his mouth are pulling back again! There really is a ghost!" Screams were heard, and the people who were watching the excitement fled in fear!

The crowd running out bumped into Yuwenlin and Jianyun. The two of them finally managed to stand firm in the crowd and moved forward.

"Jianyun, go and take a look at what it looks like." Yuwenlin came up to them, became timid again, and pushed Jianyun to the front.

Jian Yun came over. The constable in the lead was the official who had come to the inn to get tea in the morning! The official trotted to Jian Yun with a brisk pace and said, "Young man, it's better not to get too close. It's unlucky!"

Jian Yun ignored him, walked closer and took a look. He already had an idea in his mind, so he turned around and returned to Yu Wenlin.

"Master, this person died of poisoning. As for why he was laughing, I don't know. It may be related to the poison."

"I remember now!" the onlookers in the crowd shouted, "He's the guy who had an argument with the old man in front of the ring!"

"That's right! The old man must have failed to steal someone else's dagger, so he killed him and snatched the dagger!" The onlookers made a bold and reckless guess.

"Dagger?" Yuwen Lin sensed that something was wrong. "Could it be the master's dagger?" Yuwen Lin touched the unparalleled sharp blade in his arms.

"Are you stupid?" the onlookers joked, "Didn't the old man get arrested and taken to the government office? How could he kill someone?"

"The master was arrested?" Yuwen Lin was shocked and thought, "Is this the master's strategy? Is he going to the yamen to inquire about Shan Zimo's news?" His admiration for Yijianhui deepened.

"I'm afraid the master is in trouble," Jian Yun whispered in Yu Wenlin's ear, "We have to find a way to rescue the master."

"Oh, no hurry," Yu Wenlin said confidently, "But this could be the master's plan! Let's go back to the inn and don't disrupt the master's plan!"

Jianyun frowned, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense, so he followed Yuwenlin out of the yamen and returned to the inn.

"Master, it's been a whole day. Didn't Master Yuwen and Miss Que notice that we haven't returned yet?" Li was also taken back to the yamen and locked up in the same cell as Yiyan.

"It will take time to save us! Even dealing with the constables will take time," he said, lying on the straw, very confident, "Don't worry, just wait!"

At night, not only the bounty hunters gathered in the chicken feather shop, but also the regular customers who stayed overnight came back with a stench. Everyone was crowded together, and the windows were full of people. The whole chicken feather shop was not ventilated at all! The people sitting inside were almost fainted by the heat, but they still struggled and refused to leave, as if Shan Zimo would definitely come tonight!

Xuanyue Que and Zi Ling'er stood at the door. There was no way they could squeeze in, so they stayed at the door until evening.

"Ling'er, go back to the inn and tell the master and the others that I'll be guarding here. You go back and take a rest."

"No! I have to accompany the young lady so that I can take care of her!"

"Then you go back and report the news so that the master won't worry!" Zi Ling'er nodded and trotted out of the chicken feather shop.

"Miss," the bounty collector had been observing her for a long time, "Are you here to get the bounty as well?"

"I'm here to look for someone." Xuanyue replied coldly.

"Who isn't?" The bounty hunter leaned one elbow on the door frame, posing in a casual manner, looking at Xuanyue seductively, "How about, Miss, come with me, get the bounty, and we can live together!"

Xuanyue turned around expressionlessly, with her back to the bounty hunter. The bounty hunter chased after her and stood in front of her.

"I know my sister is sensitive about her reputation, and I understand that," the bounty hunter moved closer to Xuanyue and rushed towards her with a garlicky breath!

"Do you really think so?" Suddenly an idea flashed through her mind, and Xuanyue showed a delicate look. Her lovely eyes made the bounty hunter very confused.

"Yes!" the bounty hunter said excitedly, "I've been wanting to know you since you came here!"

Qu Xuanyue hooked her finger, and the bounty hunter seemed to have lost his soul. Qu Xuanyue hooked a finger around the bounty hunter's waist and gently led him out of the chicken feather shop, and the two of them disappeared into the darkness.

"Miss," Zi Ling'er hurried back to the chicken feather shop, "Master Yuwen said that the master was arrested and taken to the government office."

"How could this really happen!" Que Xuanyue took a step forward and was about to go to the yamen, but was stopped by Zi Ling'er.

"Young Master Yuwen said that this was the master's plan and he didn't want us to disturb him!" Zi Ling'er said softly.

Xuanyue was half-believing and half-doubting, but when he thought about it, he thought that the man must be very resourceful, so he gave up.

At this time, a figure staggered out from the darkness and came to the chicken feather shop. Under the dim light, he saw the bounty hunter who was taken away by Xuanyue. His face was bruised and swollen.

He walked to the door, and Xuanyue raised her hand to tuck the hair by her ear. The bounty hunter was so scared that he huddled up with his hands covering his head.

"Miss, what's wrong with this guy?" Zi Ling'er asked in confusion.

"Maybe his courage was broken." Xuanyue said lightly.

"You still have the guts?" Zi Ling'er shook her head, "Following the young lady is a great way to gain experience!"

With a crash, the cell door was opened.

"What do you think? Master Yuwen must be here to rescue us!" He didn't get up from the straw in a hurry, but lay there leisurely.

"Drag him out and torture him!" The constable's voice exploded in Huihe Li's ears like a thunder!

"I lost something, why are you torturing me?" He muttered as he was pulled up by the police and put on a wooden frame, where his hands and feet were tied up.

"Tell me, what kind of evil magic did you use to turn people into ghosts after death!"
