Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

But he was not sure whether this was set up by Lu Yao or someone else took advantage of this meeting.

They set up a trap and wait for you to jump into it.

He had just talked so much following Lu Yao's words, not for the so-called 500,000 silver.

Instead, she wanted to hear the reasons why he insisted on meeting her before she was willing to tell him everything.

But he had to admit that the reasons given by Lu Yao were very reasonable, and he couldn't see any flaws at the moment.

However, the absence of flaws does not mean that Lu Yao has no problems.

So Wei Wu deliberately let Lu Yao eat these drugged dishes, just to see if he would eat them.

If Lu Yao doesn't eat, or finds any seemingly reasonable excuse, it will be enough to prove that Lu Yao is an insider.

However, the result surprised Wei Wu a little. Lu Yaozhen ate it without any precautions.

Judging from the current situation, although the possibility cannot be completely ruled out, it is highly likely that Lu Yao has nothing to do with the drugging.

But this makes the matter even more confusing.

Shen Lin and others stayed in Huiyan Tower for five or six days without any incident, but he had just arrived when someone drugged him.

Isn't it obvious that this is directed at me?

The question is why is this happening?

After he entered Huiyan Tower, he did not immediately interact with Shen Lin and the others, but ordered food like a normal customer.

How did those people behind the scenes find him so accurately?

Wei Wu thought for a long time and could only think of two possibilities: either there was a dark hand hiding behind the scenes and he knew his appearance.

Or, from the moment he left Beijing, he had been targeted.

As for who is the mastermind behind the scenes, there is no need to even guess.

Boom!

Wei Wu was thinking in his heart when he suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the table from the opposite side.

When I looked up, I saw that Lu Yao, who was originally eating, now had his whole head buried in the dish.

Seeing this, Shen Lin, who was standing next to him, immediately stepped forward to check.

"Master, it's a drug!"

After hearing this result, Wei Wu didn't know what to say for a moment.

It’s another drug. Last time it was a knockout drug, this time it’s a knockout drug. This guy Lu Yao really lives up to his name, two sips of drugs!

Just when Wei Wu was speechless, the team member who was sent by Zhang Hai to capture the waiter walked in from outside the private room.

"Master, I am incompetent. I have been searching for a long time but have not found any trace of that waiter."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wu frowned and immediately asked:

"Have you asked the shopkeeper?"

"I asked, and the shopkeeper said that the waiter was just hired a few days ago. I asked other people to verify it, and it's true."

Ran?

Just take the medicine and run away, are you so decisive?

etc! Something's wrong!

This person didn't use poison but a knockout drug, so he must have other tricks up his sleeve!

Guessing this possibility, Wei Wu immediately stood up and carefully watched the situation around him.

However, it seemed as if to confirm his guess.

As Wei Wu stood up, he heard the sound of dense and rapid footsteps coming up the stairs.

Hearing the noise outside, Shen Lin and the others quickly went into alert and protected Wei Wu in the middle without waiting for Wei Wu to speak.

Just as Shen Lin and his men were on high alert, a group of yamen runners armed with steel knives came up the stairs.

A quick count revealed that there were more than thirty people, and they had now surrounded the entire private room.

Seeing the uniforms of yamen runners on them, Shen Lin quickly took out the Jinyiwei token from his arms.

"We are the Jinyiwei. Tell your squad leader to come out and talk to me!"

Under normal circumstances, the identity of the Jinyiwei is fully capable of intimidating local government officials and soldiers.

Even if they had any doubts, the yamen runners would put away the knife first.

Then he went to his own squad leader to confirm the identities of Shen Lin and others, whether they were Jinyiwei or not.

But the yamen runners in front of him were very strange. Not only did they not put away their knives, they didn't even have the intention to pay attention to Shen Lin.

It was as if he didn't care at all about offending the Jinyiwei, the emperor's personal army.

Just when Shen Lin and others were puzzled, a voice suddenly came from the yamen runners.

"kill!!"

As the shout of "kill" was uttered, the yamen runners rushed over with knives in hand without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Shen Lin and others no longer hesitated and directly took the rifles hanging behind them.

Bang, bang, bang!

Several gunshots rang out, and the yamen runners who were hit by bullets fell to the ground and died on the spot.

However, the other yamen runners acted as if they didn't see anything, as if they didn't care about the life or death of their companions at all.

He stepped on the corpses of his companions and continued to rush towards Wei Wu.

Wei Wu looked at the scene with a frown, and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.

But he couldn't tell what it was about it that was familiar.

The gunfire continued.

Under the fire suppression of Shen Lin and his men, any yamen runners who came within a ten-meter range were killed on the spot.

In just over ten seconds, there were only a dozen or so yamen runners left standing on the opposite side.

Both Wei Wu and Shen Lin thought that these people were afraid of being killed and dared not go any further.

But just as they were thinking this, the dozen or so yamen runners took out something from their arms and stuffed it into their mouths.

Then the expressions of these people changed, becoming crazy and their eyes were fanatical.

Soon after, these people began to rip their clothes off like crazy, exposing their chests to the air.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lin and the others felt puzzled, but Wei Wu's eyes suddenly focused.

He finally understood why he felt familiar when he saw these people.

This kind of fanaticism and fearlessness is exactly the same as that of Wang Gang who was deceived.

Although they did not chant any spells, Wei Wu was certain that these people were members of the White Lotus Sect.

What Wei Wu couldn't understand was why the people from the White Lotus Sect appeared here.

Could it be that the mastermind behind the burning of Songbai Tower and the drugging was not the Kong family, but the White Lotus Sect?

But the question is, why did the White Lotus Sect want to kill Lu Yao? This doesn't make sense!

The White Lotus Sect members in front of me were also very strange. I could see that they were muttering something with their lips.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a spell like the Mother of No Birth or the Hometown of True Vacuum.

But they were actually reciting silently without making any sound, which was not something the White Lotus Sect would do.

To be honest, the appearance of these White Lotus Sect members really confused Wei Wu's thinking.

In this tangled situation, he racked his brains but couldn't find the thread or understand the whole story.

Just as Wei Wu frowned and thought deeply, the yamen runners rushed over like crazy.
