Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2348 Bring a Message 10.0

"Took the old lady to see a play?" Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao exchanged glances. "You two seem to be in a good mood. Are there any good plays in the city recently?"

"There's nothing new about the play. They've all been rehearsed many times. But for the two old people, it's all good to watch." Hongye smiled, moved closer to Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao, and said, "Is it possible that they are really together?"

"The friendship of youth is missed once it's missed. Even if we meet again when we are older, we will still have concerns." Jin Miaomiao shook her head gently. "It's good enough that they can go out and play together without any reservations. If they want to go a step further." She sighed, "Not everyone has the courage to do so."

"That's right." Hongye nodded, "This is also good. It's like having a playmate to play with. With the Third Master accompanying him, Ning Cheng doesn't have to worry about his mother staying at home all day without going out."

"Hmm!" Shen Cha took a cushion and leaned lazily on the side, "Is there anyone following you two?"

"Don't worry, we have arranged two guards, and there are also secret agents in the city who will take care of them. Nothing will happen to them."

"That's good, but looking at the weather, it's time to go back. Curfew is almost here." Shen Cha picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth, then put it down again and looked at Merlin, "Did Xiaoyun send any news back?"

"The latest news was half an hour ago. His Highness has arrived at Huifeng and checked into the post station. Everything is normal. I'm afraid the next news will be tomorrow." Merlin counted on his fingers. "According to the speed of His Highness and Xiao Qi, they may reach Xinxing tomorrow. We have our base there."

"Okay, got it." Shen Cha nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Arrange people to go to Yongqing Inn and keep an eye on the outside. If there is any movement inside the inn, have them report it immediately."

"Yes!" Meilin responded, walked to the door of the flower hall, and then walked back again. He looked at Shen Cha in confusion and said, "Isn't the Yongqing Inn under the watchful eyes of my second brother? Does the eldest brother not trust my second brother?"

"If I can't trust him, who else can I trust?" Shen Cha waved his hand. "I'm worried that Master Falian might have a trick up his sleeve. We have to be one step ahead and prepare everything before he does. Although everything in the box has been taken out, it doesn't matter if he really takes it away, but I'm not happy about letting him get away with it."

"Indeed." Merlin bowed, "Then I'll go!"

Watching Merlin leave, Jin Miaomiao and Hongye looked at each other, then came up to Shen Cha and looked her up and down.

"What's wrong?" Shen Cha looked lazy, "Is there something on my face?"

"You don't feel uncomfortable giving things to others, do you have other plans?"

"The ones who know me well are Miaomiao and Xiaoye." Shen Cha smiled, "You also know that if we catch the person who followed me just now, it might alert the other people arranged by Master Falian, and they might take action early."

"Take action early?" Hongye frowned slightly. "You mean, they are likely to go to the inn to take over tonight?"

"That's what I mean. I'm worried that they're not just handing over the information. They're likely to attack everyone in the inn to silence them." Shen Cha sighed softly. "I've already reminded my second brother to let our people be more cautious and pay attention to the food in the inn. But we're in the open and the enemy is in the dark. If they do something, we won't be able to defend ourselves." She looked at Jin Miaomiao and said, "That's why I asked you for the antidote pills before I left."

"I see. Just in case." Jin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows slightly. "You have someone watching you. You don't want to go and watch the arrest yourself or do it yourself, do you?"

"There's no need to catch them in person, just take a look." Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Don't you want to join in the fun?"

"It's really lively. I'm a little tempted." Jin Miaomiao looked at the hourglass next to her and patted Hongye who was lying on the side. "Go to the small kitchen and bring Xiaocha's medicine. It should be ready."

Hongye responded, stood up slowly, and pulled a cloak from the side and put it on.

"The Duke and the Marquis are both in the camp today. There are only a few of us in the Duke's Mansion. If you go to watch the fun, don't leave me behind!" She walked to the door, turned around and reminded again, "Don't sneak away while I'm getting the medicine!" "Impossible." Shen Cha waved her hand, "It's still daylight. Even if they want to do something, they have to wait until dark."

"You're right. It's better to do it on a dark and windy night."

Hongye nodded, turned and walked out of the flower hall, and met Yingwu in the yard. The two nodded to each other as a greeting.

"Boss, I'm coming in!"

"Old Five? Come in!"

Ying Wu entered the flower hall and saw that only Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao were there, so he didn't go inside but just stood at the door.

"What's wrong?" Shen Cha glanced at Ying Wu and found that his expression was not right. He frowned slightly and said, "What happened? Aren't you supposed to be interrogating the people you arrested today? Have you finished the interrogation?"

"Boss, along with the killer we caught a few days ago, they're all dead."

"All?"

Shen Cha looked at Jin Miaomiao, and Jin Miaomiao looked at her, and both of them showed an expression that said "as expected".

"Looking at what Boss and Sister Miaomiao said, you're not surprised at all?"

"It is indeed within expectations. It is already a surprise that they can survive these few days." Jin Miaomiao snorted coldly and said, "For those who are born as death warriors like them, the first thing they must remember is one thing, that is, once they are caught, they must commit suicide immediately and not fall into the hands of the enemy alive. Because their fangs were knocked out by us, they couldn't commit suicide immediately. It's just that..." She touched her chin and looked at Ying Wu, "How did they die?"

"They still took poison." Ying Wu sighed, "It was the last batch of people we caught. There was something wrong with them. They didn't have fangs, but they tampered with their clothes, so..."

"I understand!" Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Cha, "It's within our expectations. But we can't just strip the clothes off the people we arrest next, right? That would be too indecent."

"Whether they are alive or dead, it doesn't affect us much. I still say that we should just leave one person to deliver the message." Shen Cha snorted coldly, "If he is very dissatisfied with the people I arrested him and is very angry, then he should fight us openly and honestly. Don't always use shady tricks. It's not manly at all!"

"That's right. Speaking of being a man, he's not as manly as the eunuchs in the palace!" Ying Wu couldn't help but snickering. He heard footsteps outside and saw Hong Ye coming back with a medicine pot. He quickly stepped aside to make way for her, "Boss, the medicine is here!"

Shen Cha sat up slowly and watched Hong Ye come in with the medicine pot. He took a large bowl and poured the medicine in the pot into it. Then the bowl was placed in front of him.

"You guys." Shen Cha held the bowl and looked at the people staring at him, "Can you please stop looking at me?"

"You drink yours, and we watch ours." Jin Miaomiao raised her chin, "Drink it quickly, or it will get cold."

Shen Cha had no choice but to hold the bowl in one hand and pinch her nose with the other, and under everyone's gaze, she drank up the bowl of medicine that was so bitter that it couldn't be more bitter.
