Chapter 254 Zhang Wenlai

The person in the dark came out, but unlike the previous person, his dressing style was exactly the same as Qi Anyi who was sitting on the couch, and his figure was the same.

Looking at this man's face, he had a face that was almost identical to Qi Anyi's. Even his expression and behavior were exactly the same as Qi Anyi's now, with his usual smiling face.

Qi Anyi smiled and then patted the man on the shoulder. The man understood the meaning without him saying anything.

Qi Anyi stood up from the couch and gave his seat to the man in front of him. Seeing that his expression after sitting down was exactly the same as his just now, he patted the man's shoulder again to reassure him, and walked to a bookcase. He didn't know what he pressed with his hand, but the wall behind the bookcase suddenly opened. Qi Anyi walked in, and the door closed. There was no change in the surroundings, as if nothing had happened.

The Lord's Mansion of Nanyu City.

The mayor of Nanyu City is named Zhang Wenlai. He has no particular goal, and only wants to protect the people of Nanyu City. Even though it is a bit desolate compared to other towns, Zhang Wenlai has almost no other objections, as long as the people here can live well.

However, in recent days, Prince An was demoted to a commoner by the current emperor because of his crime, and was finally exiled to the remote place of Nanyu City. This really made Zhang Wenlai, the idle city lord who didn't care about worldly affairs, nervous all day long, for fear that Prince An would have nothing better to do and come to him, the small city lord, to discuss major plans or to drag him into the water and become a tool for him to return to the throne.

Of course, if it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not have the same idea as Zhang Wenlai.

But Zhang Wenlai has a problem. He doesn't have any particular favorites, but he likes to read some storybooks when he has nothing to do. He reads storybooks about power struggles. After reading a lot, sometimes his thoughts naturally follow the contents of the storybooks and he thinks deeply about them.

It's just that he has been hiding in the City Lord's Mansion for several days and no one has secretly sent any letters or other things to him, or maybe Nanyu City has been too quiet recently. Zhang Wenlai breathed a sigh of relief exaggeratedly, and complained again in his heart that he had read too many storybooks and his suspicious problem could not be cured.

Nanyu City has always been peaceful and quiet, with few people causing trouble. The main reason is that once someone causes trouble, Zhang Wenlai will send people to beat them up without mercy after knowing it. Even if someone is dissatisfied and deliberately stirs up trouble in the city, they will eventually be beaten into submission by Zhang Wenlai again and again.

It can be said that the people of Nanyu City have lost their original temper and sharpness because of such a city lord. It is mainly said that although Zhang Wenlai acts simply and roughly, his temperament is lazy and casual. The people of Nanyu City are also lazy and unruly.

Zhang Wenlai finally breathed a sigh of relief and was thinking of continuing to read the notebook in his hand to relieve his boredom. However, before he could read a single line of words, someone suddenly rushed in from outside, rushing in as if he had seen a ghost.

"Zhang Kai, what happened?"

Zhang Wenlai saw his subordinates rushing over in such a hurry, as if something urgent had happened. He stood up from his chair in shock, and his knees hit the corner of the table, but he didn't care. He just frowned, looked at Zhang Kai with a bit of worry and confusion in his eyes, and asked.

Because he knew that Zhang Kai was the calmest and most valued subordinate around him, and he had never seen him with this expression before. Something big must have happened to force him to behave like this.

Seeing that his master had asked, Zhang Kai just replied hastily, saying:

"Something happened in the east of the city. The people there started to feel dizzy and it seemed like they had a cold, but it wasn't. My Lord, please come with me as soon as possible!"

Zhang Kai’s words made Zhang Wenlai’s heart skip a beat, and he couldn’t help but have a bad feeling in his heart.

He quickly tidied up his unkempt clothes, then followed Zhang Kai with a worried look on his face, asking him to lead the way.

However, when they were halfway out of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Kai handed the silk scarf in his arms to Zhang Wenlai, and his face looked very solemn.

Zhang Wenlai took the scarf from Zhang Kai's hands, and then his eyelids twitched. The ominous feeling in his heart became heavier. He had some vague guesses in his heart, and the expression on his face became more and more uglier.

Without saying anything more, he obediently put the scarf on the lower half of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. The emotion in his eyes was very different from the leisurely and lazy look he had just shown in the mansion, and was rather sharp.

With Zhang Kai leading the way, the two quickly arrived at the east area of the city.

Zhang Wenlai hadn't been to the east of the city for a long time, so he had a weak impression of it. In his memory, the east of the city was much better than the west of the city. At least the silk and satin industry here was well developed, adding a bit of vitality to the city than other places in Nanyu City. The people also liked to stroll around the streets, and they would naturally buy any small item they liked from a stall, which was not much different from other places.

However, the shop doors in front of me were closed, and there were only a few stalls on the street. However, there were not many people on the street.

Zhang Wenlai walked up to the thinner-looking man among the stall owners, hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something, but then he remembered that the business was not over yet, so he looked at Zhang Kai who was standing in front of him waiting for him. In the end, he didn't say anything more.

Following him, we will go deeper into the streets and alleys in the east of the city.

Zhang Kai brought Zhang Wenlai to a clinic. The next second after they knocked on the door and entered, someone came from the side and hurriedly closed the door of the clinic, as if they were afraid that someone would come in.

Zhang Wenlai was confused inside, but he didn't show it on his face. He just followed Zhang Kai in silence, letting him lead the way. Behind him was the owner of the clinic. He was thin and didn't look very well, as if he had been severely tortured by the disease. The dark circles under his eyes and the fatigue on his face could not be concealed by the forced smile.

Zhang Wenlai was shocked and his pace became faster and faster, obviously he was a little anxious.

There are always several rooms behind every medical clinic to take care of patients, and this one is no exception. The three of them came to the backyard of the pharmacy.

Zhang Kai was walking in front so Zhang Wenlai was unable to see what the people inside were like at first glance after he entered.

But when he got closer, looking at the huge screen that blocked the situation inside, he walked around behind the screen impatiently, and then raised his eyes to look in front of him.

Zhang Wenlai looked at the situation in front of him and felt like his heart was about to stop beating.
