Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 322 Underground Palace
At night, Shen returned to the mansion, served by a charming concubine. As soon as he took off his official robe, a beautiful maid came in and reported: "Master, there is news from the front yard. Master Shen Xi has arrived."

Of course Shen snorted coldly, put on the official robe he had just taken off, and walked forward with a sullen face.

The concubine looked at his departing back in confusion. It was rare to see Shen looking so worried. What happened to him?
The concubine glanced at the maid, and the maid shook her head.

She didn't know either, but Mr. Shen, who often came to visit and often had sex with the master, seemed to be in a bad mood.

But so what.

People like them will never face death, right?

Today, I finally can't open my eyes!

The concubine and the maidservant both sighed secretly in their hearts.

They were not bought by Shen. Shen was a Pixiu, who always took in things but never gave out.

His beautiful concubine and pretty maid were all obtained by him through trickery and force.

After all, he was in charge of the Shanyin Prison. Aren't the female prisoners and the families of the male prisoners at his mercy?
Shen Xi had a gloomy face and paced back and forth in the study.

As soon as Shen Ziran came in, Shen Xi asked, "What's going on, brother Ziran? Why didn't Wang Er, that little beast, die? Why did the Transportation Bureau intervene in this case? Why would that fence-sitter, Mr. Qiao, intervene in this case?"

Shen's face was gloomy. He said, "You ask me, who should I ask? However, according to the news, Wang Er's face was covered with black ash. He dug a dog hole at the back wall of Diaojianzuo and got out. This time he was lucky."

Shen Xi said: "If Wang Er is not dead, we can find another way. However, more than ten of your people and ordinary craftsmen and laborers there have died. What if..."

"How could that be possible? I've also asked around, and even the most astute coroner wouldn't be able to find out anything about a fire this big."

"But two of your men were taken away by the Transportation Department."

Shen smiled faintly: "So what? Do they dare to expose me? Even if they do, do they have evidence? A scoundrel just said something and wanted to punish me, an official who was once a famous official outside Donghua Gate? Do they dare?"

Shen sat down on the chair and sneered, "Also, there are two jailers in the Transportation Department Jail who used to be from Shanyin Jail. They are my people. I have already informed them. Please take care of those two people."

Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair. "That's good. I've gone to see the judge of Shanyin Prefecture, and he will also go to the Transportation Department to seek an explanation."

Shen smiled and said, "It's the same with our Criminal Division. Qiao Qiangtou intervened directly this time, but he offended two major government offices. How dare he do that?"

Shen Xi sneered, "Wang Er must be scared. In order to save his life, I don't know how much he promised Qiao Zhen to make her so stubborn."

Suddenly he thought of the news he had received—Qiao Zhen and Wang Er were traveling together with their beautiful concubine.

Shen Xi thought, could it be that Wang Er had given away all his concubines?
It is true that it is hard to pass the test of beauty, it is hard to pass the test of heroes, and it is also hard to pass the test of fence-sitters.

……

Three beauties lay side by side on a couch.

Dan Niang was in the middle, Bei'er was outside, and Xiao Qingtang was lying at the innermost.

The red candle on the table was swaying gently, and three delicate flowers were whispering in low voices inside the tent.

Emmanuelle Belle is telling Danniang and Qingtang her story in Kerry City.

Her castle, her home, she was trained in knighthood and swordsmanship since she was a child, she was canonized as a Knight of the Rose in Satel Cathedral...

Dan Niang and Qing Tang listened with great interest.

Although this couple are considered old hands, they have not even been to all of the Song Dynasty, let alone such a faraway place.

They had never thought that there were so many countries, so many races, and so many different customs and cultures outside of Middle-earth.

Now, Erlang has his own fleet, and after returning from Southeast Asia, he will start an ocean voyage.

Maybe one day they will be able to take a big ship to the far west and visit the place called Frank?
Qingtang thought about it and said excitedly: "Brother-in-law's fleet will sail to a very far place in the future, and will also go to your hometown? By then, Sister Bei'er, will you be able to return to your hometown?"

Belle fell silent. Would that day ever come? She wasn't sure. She only knew that currently only the Arab merchants from Baghdad had crossed the ocean and arrived in the Song Dynasty.

And that place was where she became a slave.

So, she just sighed quietly, and then asked curiously: "Qingtang, the brother-in-law you call... is it Mr. Yang Yuan? Why do I sometimes hear you call him master? What is your relationship?"

Qingtang rolled over and lay on the bed, counting on his fingers, and said to Emmanuelle Belle excitedly: "Yes, yes, our boss has many identities, brother-in-law, uncle, master's father, godfather... Hey, our family is a mess, I can't explain it to you clearly at the moment..."

Dan Niang kicked him and said, "Stop farting!"

……

Yongjue Temple was built on the west side of Meishan Mountain. It is an ancient temple from the Tang Dynasty, not far from Jinghu Lake.

Today, the ancient temple is somewhat dilapidated, and the large areas of dilapidated Zen temples and houses still give one vague glimpse of their former prosperity.

More than ten acres of land in the east courtyard has been turned into farmland, which is rented out by the temple.

The contractor of this vegetable field does not have to pay rent to the temple, but he or she will be responsible for the daily vegetables used by the temple.

This vegetable field was booked by Shanyin spies.

They live in Shanyin with their families. Their family members are not from the machine room, and it is impossible for them all to be arranged in the "Sanyuanchang" company.

Some younger generations who have average qualifications and cannot even do business were arranged to grow vegetables here.

First of all, there is a way to make a living.

Secondly, the Shanyin spies used this place as their second base.

In the dilapidated Zen hall, there is a passage leading to the underground palace.

This underground palace was also built during the Tang Dynasty when temples were being built.

However, it was later expanded a lot by Shanyin spies, and it was better for storing vegetables and other things than the place above.

At this moment, this underground palace has become the place where Dai Shan and others are imprisoned.

Wang Nanyang led the way with a torch, and Yang Yuan slowly walked down the dark and damp stone steps of the underground palace.

As Wang Nanyang walked, he said, "We have divided the people into two groups. The craftsmen who are not on the list, as well as those who were not recruited by Dai Shan in the past few days, are all arranged in another underground palace. We will ignore them for the time being and just detain them. The head of the room, please be careful with your steps..."

After stepping onto the ground, Yang Yuan looked around. The underground palace was divided into rooms. There was a torch stuck on the wall every few steps, but it still couldn't illuminate the entire underground palace. It was so dark that it looked like a dungeon.

Wang Nanyang said: "Time is short, let's deal with those on the list first..."

As the two talked, they walked forward. At this time, a strong smell of blood was coming. Strangely, there was no scream.

Suddenly, a man hurried out of a house and was about to lean against the wall to vomit. When he saw Wang Nanyang, he came forward and said with an unpleasant expression, "Captain Wang."

Wang Nanyang stopped and asked, "Did Captain Li find out anything?"

The man nodded and said, "I confessed, I confessed everything. No, I confessed everything. Captain Li was just about to... Ugh..."

Before he could finish his words, he ran to a corner and started vomiting loudly.

Wang Nanyang frowned and said, "Bury it in a little while and see what it smells like."

He fanned his nose twice with his hands, then said to Yang Yuan, "Master Yang, please come in."

Yang Yuan said, "Please come in, Mr. Wang."

Wang Nanyang smiled and said, "I am here to keep watch. Please, Yang, please come on your own!"
