Chapter 297 In the City Lord's Mansion

He calmly moved his right leg that had been kicked by Qi Anyi away.

Qi Anyi knew that he could not get anything out of Zhang Kai, so he stopped looking at him and waved for him to leave. However, when Zhang Kai was about to leave, Qi Anyi stopped him again.

Zhang Kai knelt back down and waited for Qi Anyi's next questions.

Then he heard Qi Anyi asking him what Yongning Hou was doing recently.

When Zhang Kai first heard this question, he was a little slow to react, but when he saw Qi Anyi's unhappy expression, his eyelids twitched, and then he briefly told Qi Anyi about Yongning Hou's recent situation.

In fact, Zhang Kai spent most of his time with Zhang Wenlai. As for Marquis Yongning, he only knew that this marquis always locked himself in the yard and refused to let anyone in.

So Zhang Kai had basically no chance to see what Yongning Hou was doing.

He told the truth and had no answer to whatever Qi Anyi asked.

In the end, he was kicked out by Qi Anyi.

Zhang Kai was speechless, but he didn't want to stay here any longer.

He was just about to leave through the back door when he suddenly bumped into someone on the road.

The man looked familiar. He seemed to be the man who was the leader of the guards in the west of the city a few days ago and distributed medicine to the people in the west of the city.

The closer we get, the more certain we become of opening.

The man also saw him, was stunned for a while, and then nodded at Zhang Kai without any expression.

Then he opened his eyes and saw the man slowly approaching him. There were not many people around, so they started talking more.

Before Zhang Kai opened his mouth, he heard the man in front of him speak quickly and ask:

"Zhang Kai, do you know where my child is?"

Zhang Kai was just about to speak when he heard this question. He pursed his lips and looked at the man with a slightly gloomy look, not knowing what to say.

The man repeated it again with great patience.

Zhang Wenlai lowered his eyes, looked at the man's earnest and pleading gaze, and finally admitted: "I know."

Sure enough, the man asked where the child was.

Zhang Kai did not answer the question directly, but leaned close to the man's ear and asked him quietly and cautiously: "The leader asked this question because he was thinking of going to that place alone to rescue your child and then leaving the prince with his men, right?"

The man didn't expect Zhang Kai to say what he was thinking so easily and directly, but now that it had come to this, there was no point in hiding it. Of course, the man knew exactly what kind of person Zhang Kai was, and he was sure that Zhang Kai would not tell Qi Anyi about his intention to betray him.

Besides, I saved this person before.

That's why the man dared to ask Zhang Kai blatantly where his child was.

The man’s idea was good. Zhang Kai finally told the man where the child was and decided to help him rescue the child.

The man's face was full of gratitude, but Zhang Kai still couldn't figure out one thing, so he asked the man:

"How do you know that I know where your child is? What if I don't know and I report you right after you say this to me?"

The more serious Zhang Kai's question was, the more casually the man answered: "It's because those guards can't control their mouths and talk about all sorts of things all day long. Then I just said a few words and they took the bait." Zhang Kai: "... Got it"

Since you have chosen a man, it means that you will be the one to betray Qi Anyi in the end.

Zhang Kai didn't care. Qi Anyi was just a master he recognized halfway through. If he didn't have any leverage over Qi Anyi, how could he possibly betray the city lord.

Now that the handle was dead, there was no need for him to continue helping Qi Anyi. And he would die sooner or later, so it would be better for him to die willingly instead of dying while helping Qi Anyi.

The two of them helped to rescue people, while the City Lord's Mansion kept an eye on Qi Anyi.

Fortunately, they hid quickly and were not discovered by the people around Qi Anyi.

Of course, the people did not suddenly go to the gate of Qi'anyi's mansion.

Or maybe the Yongning Marquis thought of ways to confuse the people and then put the blame on Qi Anyi. Of course, all of this was Qi Anyi's own fault, so it couldn't be considered a confusion.

In the past few days, Marquis Yongning has been secretly sending people to spread news about Qi Anyi in the city, and using some medicine to force dead people to drink it. In this way, the people have set their sights on Qi Anyi.

During this period of time, Qi Anyi must deal with the people who know about the medicine.

Yongning Hou walked out of the courtyard and squinted his eyes at a little boy who had been found in the yard by Zhang Wenlai from somewhere not long ago.

When the little boy saw Yongning Hou staring at him, he shrank slightly. Even though he had been here for two days, the little boy couldn't help but show a trace of fear when facing Yongning Hou alone.

Whenever Yongning Hou saw this, he felt helpless. He remembered that he looked kind and gentle, but he didn't know why this little boy was so afraid of him.

No one knew where Zhang Wenlai found the child. When he brought him back, he just said that he found him in an alley in Chengdu.

Marquis Yongning did not ask any more questions.

It was almost time for dinner, and Yongning Hou walked closer to the little boy and told him that it was time for dinner.

The little boy then came out from the corner and walked towards Yongning Hou.

The only person available in the mansion was Marquis Yongning, so the task of taking care of the child was given to him.

After dinner, the little boy went to the side room where Yongning was staying and shared a couch with a doctor to rest.

Since the last pills were developed, Zhang Wenlai has distributed them to many people in the city.

They didn't care that Qi Anyi was still distributing medicine to the people outside, but tried their best to compete with the people of Qi Anyi.

In other words, the people of Nanyu City believed in Qi Anyi and Zhang Wenlai. After drinking the liquid medicine, they took the pills. After all, both sides said that the herbs in their hands could cure the plague.

The more cautious people would only eat one of the two and not the other.

Therefore, a brief peace temporarily appeared in Nanyu City. Even if there were some disputes, they were quickly resolved by the hands of both sides. For a while, there was harmony but also a bit of stalemate.

The City Lord's Mansion was relieved, but Qi Anyi was furious.

The plan to increase the spread of the plague toxin, which had been terminated long ago, was arranged again by Qi Anyi.

The person in charge this time arranged by Qi Anyi was the man who had been looking for opportunities to betray him.

When the man heard the news, he remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking that he could take this opportunity to escape.

After all, his child is now in the City Lord's Mansion.
