Please stop imagining things, I'm such a good person

Plans could not keep up with changes. Shengdu was suddenly closed, disrupting all of Wang Sanyuan's arrangements.

In the past two days, the soldiers of the Five Cities Army have taken over the city defense, and the Jinwu Guards and night watchmen have been patrolling the inner and outer cities non-stop.

The atmosphere in Shengdu suddenly became tense.

As for the reason, Wang Sanyuan already knew it.

"Sanyuan, the order has been issued." Xu Yousheng said.

Wang Sanyuan nodded, "It's better to be quiet at the critical moment, so as not to become a target."

Bao Tu looked worried, "Where on earth did this lunatic come from? He even dared to assassinate a third-rank official!"

Bao Longxing was also a third-rank official, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Wang Sanyuan comforted him, "Don't worry, Shengdu has been under martial law. Lord Bao sent someone to pass on the message that the royal family has already taken action. Any movement will not be hidden from their perception."

"We should grow quietly now, and then launch a thunderous attack on the Fierce Tiger Gang after this matter is over!"

Seeing that Cang Zhengqi was frowning and silent, Xu Yousheng asked, "Zhengqi, what's wrong?"

Cang Zhengqi raised his head, "I'm thinking about something..."

"You said... the assassin who massacred Minister Yuan's entire family... could it be that he has some connection with the forces that are trying to assassinate me?"

Wang Sanyuan was shocked. "What do you mean?"

Cang Zhengqi said solemnly, "According to Lord Bao, there were two fourth-level warriors and some low-level guards in Minister Yuan's mansion, but such a force was destroyed silently without leaving any clues."

"And the person who assassinated me was abandoned by a fourth-level cultivator. This shows how powerful he is."

"I wonder if there is any connection between them?"

"After all, not long after I was stabbed, Minister Yuan's entire family was wiped out."

Wang Sanyuan looked serious. "From what you said, it seems that there is some connection between the two."

"I'll go and remind Mr. Bao. If we can solve this case, maybe we can find out who wants to kill you so badly."

......

In Shengdu Prefecture, Yang Zhao and the night watchman were flipping through a pile of files.

With all the clues cut off, he could only come to Shengdu Mansion to check the files.

If you take pictures as you go, you might be able to spot the assassins' tracks in some unnoticed places.

The yamen runner said respectfully, "Sir, here are all the files of all the people who entered the city in March."

"Here are the files of cultivators above level five who are not registered by the court."

"This is the complete file of the sixteen major gangs within a five hundred li radius of Shengdu."

Yang Zhao didn't even raise his head. "Okay, go down. I'll call you if there's anything else!"

Two days had passed, which made him more anxious.

After the bailiff left, he went to see Bao Longxing.

"Master Bao, all the files the night watchman requested have been delivered."

Bao Longxing nodded and said, "You will stay outside their door for the next few days. If they have any needs, you can satisfy them directly. If you are really unsure, you can come and ask me."

"Yes!"

The yamen runner was about to leave when another yamen runner came in, clasped his fists and said, "Master Bao, Wang Sanyuan is here and wants to see you."

"Bring him here."

After a while, Wang Sanyuan arrived.

"Come here, serve tea!"

"Master Bao, forget the tea. I came here this time because I discovered some connections that may help solve the case."

Bao Longxing's eyes lit up, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Wang Sanyuan didn't hesitate and immediately asked, "Master Bao, do you still remember that a few days ago, a grassland man stabbed a brother of my gang in the street?"

Bao Longxing said without hesitation, "Of course I remember, but the grassland man is dead. I also sent people to investigate, but there is no other result."

"Master Bao, my brother is Cang Zhengqi, the former leader of the Qinglong Society. I'm sure you know him."

"In fact, this is not the first time he has been assassinated."

"Since half a year ago, there have been continuous assassin attacks. There have been more than a dozen of them so far. Moreover, these assassins have superb skills, either at the fourth level or at the peak of the fourth level!"

"I suspect that these assassins may be the same group of people as Minister Yuan!"

Bao Longxing's eyes narrowed, "Tell me more!"

Wang Sanyuan immediately started talking about the first time Cang Zhengqi was assassinated.

Including the bodies of the Iron Horse Kingdom wizard and foreigners they discovered.

Half an hour later, Wang Sanyuan finally finished speaking, without missing any details.

"Master Bao, this is all I know. If Shengdu Prefecture can solve the case, I hope you can also help me interrogate who is the mastermind behind the scenes and what deep hatred he has against Cang Zhengqi."

"It's natural!"

Bao Longxing assured, “If it’s not a group of people, I will help you check it out after these things are over.”

A group of highly skilled foreigners are lurking in Shengdu. Although they are only targeting Cang Zhengqi now, what if they have other purposes?

Bao Longxing would never allow these unstable sources of danger to hide in Shengdu.

Wang Sanyuan smiled and stood up, "Thank you very much, Mr. Bao!"

Bao Longxing didn't say anything polite, "I have important things to do, you can leave on your own."

"Okay! Mr. Bao has worked hard. When the boss comes back, I hope you will come to Fang's house for a small gathering."

Wang Sanyuan exchanged some polite words and left.

After he left, Bao Longxing suddenly shouted, "Someone come!"

"Master Bao!"

The bailiff at the door walked in immediately.

"Go and deliver all the crime files in Shengdu this month... no... this three months to the night watchman, and..."

"Forget it, I'll go there myself."

Bao Longxing decided to relay everything Wang Sanyuan said to Yang Zhao, perhaps it would be helpful to them.

......

Business in Yuzu Pavilion is booming.

Even the widely reported family massacre and the soldiers patrolling the streets could not stop the men from coming to enjoy the dance.

The madam was smiling and entertaining the guests warmly. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure as big as an iron tower slowly walking in from the door.

The madam immediately pulled him aside and asked, "Chouyan, did they pay the money?"

Chou Yan whispered, "No."

The madam immediately became furious, "That bitch, I knew she was lying to me!"

Then she shouted in dissatisfaction, "I don't believe it! You go on tomorrow!"

"Isn't she from some big family? You stand in front of their door every day and make them pay for it!"

"I wonder if they have the nerve to embarrass this man!"

Chou Yan said aggrievedly, "They...didn't give me money...and beat me..."

The madam was very disappointed with him, "I hit you but you didn't know how to fight back! You have grown so big for nothing!"

"There are people... I'm afraid... I might attract them... They don't dare... to take action."

The madam was stunned for a moment, "Level 3?"

Chou Yan shook his head and said, "Level 2!"

The madam's face changed slightly, "Don't go out these few days, wait until this storm passes!"

Chou Yan pointed outside the door, "Soldiers...search...exposed..."

The madam sneered, "What are you afraid of? We are decent people. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Chou Yan nodded vigorously, then uttered two words, "I'm hungry!"

The madam was silent for a moment, then immediately roared, "Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat all day long. The copper coins I earn are not even enough for you to eat!"
