Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2353 Bring a Message 15.0

Hongye and Merlin walked around the fallen killers twice, checked each of them one by one, and confirmed that they were either fainted or dead, and then ordered the shadows to start cleaning up.

"How boring!" Hongye threw the knife aside. She had snatched the knife from Yanyou's men, and it was not easy to use. She stood beside Shen Cha, with her hands on her waist, watching the shadows busying themselves, and snorted twice, "Are these people qualified to be killers? Their skills are not that good, are they?"

"From what you said, it seems like you haven't fought enough?"

"It's not that we didn't fight enough, it's that we didn't have enough fun." Merlin also looked very disgusted. "If all of Master Falian's subordinates are of this kind, then it shouldn't take too much effort for us to find him."

"Hey, pride goes before a fall. You two should remember this."

"I see." Hongye raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's just that the reputation is really unworthy of the name. If they were put on the battlefield, they wouldn't survive more than half a cup of tea."

"They are assassins, why should they be put on the battlefield?" Shen Cha chuckled. "However, it is unexpected that Moon Head and his men are so weak. The Japanese pirates we have encountered in the past seem to be quite powerful. They always fight with their lives in mind, but they seem to be a little conservative."

"Yeah!" Hongye nodded and looked at Shen Cha, "You say."

"what?"

"It can't be fake, right?"

"That shouldn't be the case!" Shen Cha was stunned by Hong Ye's words, "But it's not impossible." He waved at Ying Er, "Second brother, check Yan You and his men."

Ying Er also heard their conversation and hurried over. He first confirmed that Yanyou and his two men were still alive and made sure that they were unconscious. Then, he touched their faces for a long time and found nothing abnormal.

"It's real, not fake." Ying Er walked up to Shen Cha, "Yanyou is not a very good martial artist. He is not a killer beside Wanyan Qingmu. He is more or less a military advisor. He is good at making plans. Many of the methods Wanyan Qingmu used against Wanyan Ping were thought up by him."

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded gently. "As for the dead, we'll bury them in the mountains as we agreed before. Lao Wu suggested before that the shops that were confiscated were doing this business, so we can use the coffins in their shops, which can be regarded as reaching their cooperation."

"Okay, make the best use of it." Ying Er nodded. "Those who fainted were taken directly to the dungeon?" He pointed into the main room and said, "And these few inside."

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded. "Put Yanyou in solitary confinement. The environment should be better. Then find someone to treat his injuries. Don't let him die. For now, he is very useful to us."

"Okay." Ying Er looked at the front yard, which had been almost cleaned up, and then looked at Shen Cha, "Boss, why don't you guys go back first? There's nothing to do here anyway, you guys can go back and have a rest."

"I'll leave this place to you. There's also the inn, and you can close the net now." Shen Cha wrapped his cloak around him, "Remember, be silent."

"understood."

Shen Cha looked at it for a while and made sure there was no problem before leaving with Jin Miaomiao, Hongye and Meilin.

After they left the old house and walked to the entrance of the alley, he ordered Shen Jiu's men to withdraw their guard and return to their team to continue their night patrol.

"I didn't expect that the final big fish turned out to be Yanyou." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "You say, why did he come here instead of reporting to Master Falian about Wanyan Qingmu?" "He should not be sure whether Wanyan Qingmu is alive or dead, and he can't find Wanyan Qingmu's trace. The brothers Yiting and Yixiu will not let the Japanese, or to be more precise, will not let Wanyan Qingmu's former confidants know that he is still alive. Therefore, Yanyou lost the puppet that Master Falian had carefully cultivated for many years. He is guilty and cannot escape the blame. How can he atone for his sins? He can only snatch the job here so that he has the face to go back and see people. Otherwise..." Shen Cha shook his head gently, "I'm afraid he doesn't even know how he died."

"What you said is true." Jin Miaomiao watched Shen Cha leave the neighborhood where the old house was located and walk towards the nearest city gate. "Do you want to ask Yanyou how he got in?"

"Hmm!" Shen Cha sneered, "I believe they will not abandon their duties, but I also believe Yanyou will deceive them."

Jin Miaomiao blinked at Hongye and Meilin. The three of them smiled at the same time, followed Shen Cha, and walked towards the city gate.

"who?"

When the group of four was approaching the city gate, they heard soldiers shouting, and then several soldiers holding spears rushed in from the darkness and surrounded them.

"General? General Jin?" The leading soldier used the light of the lantern to see clearly who they were surrounding, and quickly knelt on one knee to salute, "I greet the general and general Jin!"

"Everyone get up!" Shen Cha looked at the lanterns in Hongye and Meilin's hands. Before they came out, they left their lanterns to Ying Er. Now they were holding ordinary lanterns with no words on them. No wonder the soldiers guarding the city didn't recognize them.

"Thank you, General."

"General!" The general in charge of guarding the city gate today was Ye Pan, another deputy general of Lu Shengyuan. He hurried out of the small tent when he heard the voice, ran to Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao, and saluted them. "I have received the news from the second general. I was just checking the records of today's entry and exit. There is nothing unusual, and there is no trace of the Japanese."

"Really?" Shen Cha thought for a moment, "Where is the record? Take me to see it."

"General, please."

Ye Pan led the way and invited Shen Cha, Jin Miaomiao, Meilin and Hongye into the small tent. He also lit some more candles to make the whole tent brighter than before.

"General, this is the record of today's entry and exit, please take a look."

Shen Cha took the record handed over by Ye Pan and looked through each page carefully, and indeed did not find any suspicious points.

"No?" Jin Miaomiao came over and took Shen Cha's hand to look at it again. "Bring the ones from the past few days as well. It's very likely that they didn't come in today."

Ye Pan agreed and personally took the records of the past seven days and looked at them with the two of them.

"Here!" Shen Cha pointed to the record from the day before, which recorded the Hu merchant. This Hu merchant was not a frequent visitor to the border, and it should be his first time here, so the soldiers guarding the city drew a red mark next to him. "This is the Hu merchant who sells spices. Have you carefully checked their goods?"

"I am not on duty that day. General, please wait a moment. I will go and call the person in charge of registration."
