Zhang Sui'an grabbed the ashes from the ground and stepped back, "Who are you?"

"Who am I? Is it your turn to ask?" The man whipped Zhang Sui'an with a hemp rope. Zhang Sui'an dodged a few times with his agile body, but Zhang Sui'an was held tightly by him.

"Hurry up! Zhang Sui'an, go find your sister-in-law and find a solution," Yan An yelled.

"You talk too much!" After saying that, the man covered Yan An's mouth with his hands, causing Yan An to struggle all over.

Zhang Sui'an pulled out the magic sword from behind, half leaned over and crawled on the ground, ready to make a desperate fight.

"I didn't expect you were a martial artist." The man said with a contemptuous tone, not taking Zhang Sui'an seriously at all.

Yan An took the opportunity to bite his palm, rushed to Zhang Sui'an's side, and whispered: "How about we just run?"

"No! My sister must have called someone. If we run now, wouldn't it be a waste of time to see him transport the herbs away? I will stop him and you go find my sister." Zhang Sui'an arranged.

"Sui'an, then you should be careful. I will go find my sister-in-law now."

When the man saw Yan An running away, he immediately laughed, "Where are your friends? They just abandoned you. Do you think you can stop me? Get out of here and don't risk your life in vain."

“How do you know if you don’t try?” Zhang Sui’an got into position and gathered his strength to launch an attack.

When Jiao Niang was leaving the city, she ran into Manager Geng who was coming back from buying medicine. Manager Geng joined the pursuit team without hesitation. When they walked out of the city gate and onto the muddy road, Manager Geng saw the deep wheel marks and immediately responded to Jiao Niang:

"Madam, judging from the depth of the wheel marks, it seems that the contents are not medicinal materials but money."

Jiao Niang also checked and asked, "Could it be that someone is planning to secretly transfer the Yan family's money out?" After making this guess, Jiao Niang asked Manager Geng to look for the carriage first.

Jiao Niang was worried that if someone really did it on purpose, the rest of the people in the kitchen would be killed if they went there, so she immediately asked them to stay where they were.

Manager Geng was walking along the carriage tracks when he saw Yan An running over. "Manager Geng, go save Zhang Sui'an! He's fighting with that guy."

After hearing Yan An's words, Chief Steward Geng told him that his wife was not far ahead and asked him to go find her. Then he quickened his pace and silently drew the butcher knife from his waist.

Zhang Sui'an fought with him for several rounds, and it was hard to tell who was better. The man sighed happily, "You are indeed a martial artist. It seems I have to use all my strength."

"It's easy to stop you for a moment," Zhang Sui'an said.

The man took out a short knife from his back. Yan An recognized the short knife and asked, "Are you not from the Great Zhou?"

"Great Zhou? It's just a cowardly country." After saying that, he immediately rushed over and hit Zhang Sui'an's chest hard with an elbow.

"Oh!"

A dull thud came from his chest, and he was knocked to the ground with one blow.

Zhang Sui'an endured the pain and clenched his magic sword tightly, looking at the man, "The people of Dawu are unforgivable."

"Dawu? I am a native of Dazhou. If it weren't for the tyrant emperor who made us all prisoners, Dawu would have given us a chance to live. As long as Dawu swallows up Dazhou, there will be no such thing as Dazhou people or Dawu people."

"Bah! Traitor." Zhang Sui'an staggered to his feet and stared at him.

"Boy! Don't think that Da Zhou is so good. When you are reborn into Da Wu in your next life, you will know what I mean." Just as the dagger was about to touch his neck, the flying stone changed the trajectory of his wrist.

Manager Geng finally arrived and said, "Stand back! The people of Dawu are unforgivable." The butcher knife flew out and hit the man's dagger, making a crackling sound of metal collision.

After a while, the two were evenly matched. "I didn't expect that a cook like you would have such amazing knife skills. It really opened my eyes."

"Hmph! So much nonsense!"

As the two men started fighting again, Manager Geng responded.

Jiao Niang came to the medicine box, pried open a hole with her magic knife and saw that there was gold inside. There were five boxes with a total of three thousand taels of gold. This was the silver vault that was lost when Yan An and his men discovered it. I don't know if they had just started transporting it or if they had been doing it for several years.

"Who is behind this?" Jiao Niang stood by and thought.

Manager Geng took off his shirt and began to show his true strength. He rushed forward with his strong body and grabbed the wrist of the man holding the knife. He was about to kill him with one blow when he was stopped by Jiao Niang.

"Leave him alive first! I have something to ask."

"Okay, ma'am!"

Manager Geng immediately kicked his knife away and stabbed him several times, causing blood to flow out, leaving the man with a breath of life.

"Who arranged for you to come?" Jiao Niang asked.

The man remained silent. Manager Geng pressed his hand into his abdominal wound and said, "Madam, please speak quickly!"

Just as he was about to answer, an arrow flew past from behind and pierced the man's head.

Manager Geng was worried that the arrow might injure Jiao Niang and Zhang Suian, so he held the man horizontally in front of them. Then another arrow was shot from the dark, and Manager Geng chopped it in half with a single blow of his sword.

To find the direction of the flying arrow, Manager Geng leaned forward, and Jiao Niang took out a jade pendant from the man.

She could roughly see that the jade pendant looked similar to the one used to assassinate Yan Lang and the other man that night, but a closer look revealed that the quality of this jade pendant was obviously inferior to the previous one.

Zhang Sui'an searched his body again but found nothing else. It seemed that this jade pendant was his most treasured thing and he always kept it with him.

Manager Geng chased for a while, but then he turned back immediately because he was worried that those people might have helpers and was worried about Jiao Niang.

"Madam, we haven't caught the real culprit behind this," complained Manager Geng.

"It's okay! As long as you're still alive." These words came from behind them. When Jiao Niang heard the voice, she turned around and saw that it was Yan Sheng and Song Fengren who came.

Song Fengren immediately went to find Zhang Sui'an, "Boy! I almost didn't recognize you when you put on your new clothes?"

Looking at the gorgeously dressed woman in front of him, Zhang Sui'an was stunned: "Which sister are you?"

"What else? When we get back to Jinxiufang, I'll have someone make you a few sets of clothes."

Yan Lang came to the medicine box with his crutches. Steward Geng broke the shackles on the medicine box with a knife, and dense gold appeared in front of him. Yan Lang whispered to Steward Geng: "The man has been caught by Yuzhu. You go to Zuiyanlou to interrogate him later. Remember not to let Jingyang get involved."

"Why?" asked Manager Geng.

Yan Lang handed the jade pendant that Jiao Niang had just given him to Chief Steward Geng, "Could it be that the late emperor's highness is still alive?"

"I don't know. You won't know if His Highness is still alive until you finish the interrogation."

Yan Lang said this lightly, but in fact he was more panicked than anyone else. The two countries were at the border to start a war, and suddenly they found that there was a prince of their own country in the other camp. Wouldn't that mean that the Great Zhou would be in civil strife and there would be no way to recover the lost territory?
