Yi Yan did not gamble with him rashly, but chose to cooperate after making a basic judgment.

"Come down quickly, it will be dawn if you wait any longer." Halfway down, the man reminded him when he saw the ember still standing in the same place.

When the man landed on the ground, the ember jumped down along with the candle in the kitchen, and was almost sent away without breathing as soon as he hit the ground.

It stinks!

The embers slowed down, and the candle was lit with a fire stick, and the contents of this space were vaguely revealed.

There were no imaginary people, nor were there any severed limbs or limbs. There were only linen bags, sealed and neatly arranged by the wall.

The smell comes from these bags.

"What's this?"

The masked man in black opened a bag, and a strong and disgusting smell hit his nostrils, making him tilt his head and cough several times.

Yi Yan stepped forward and examined it carefully under the dim light of the candle. After a moment, he said, "It's the Zihe Car."

Ziheche is a medicinal herb that is considered to have the effect of nourishing qi and blood and beautifying the skin, so it was once sought after by women and was expensive.

"So many Zihe carts..." The man roughly counted and found that there were more than a dozen bags. Each bag seemed to be about twenty in size, so together there were at least 200 Zihe carts.

Ziheche is said to be a medicinal material, but in fact it is placenta, which can only be produced by women. But how many babies are born in Beijing in a year? The number of these placentas is really astonishing.

"It's just the placenta."

Um?

Hearing this, Yi Jin couldn't help but cast his gaze on the man, his eyes narrowed in thought.

When Zhan Shuyun came in, Ember came up from the ground. The two faced each other, and Ember moved faster. After two moves, the dagger was placed on Zhan Shuyun's neck.

"It's me." Zhan Shuyun said.

Ember put down the dagger and relaxed.

"Master Zhan came just in time."

When they got to the ground, Yi Yan didn't dare to light the candle in a pretentious manner, so he could only pull Zhan Shuyun to the opening. He briefly told Zhan Shuyun what he found inside, and then added: "There is another person down there, take him back."

The interrogation should yield a lot of useful things."

"Who?"

Yu Yan rubbed his chin and said honestly: "I don't know."

Zhan Shuyun: "...not to mention his identity, Dali Temple is a government agency and cannot arbitrarily detain and interrogate people without reason."

Ember: "Then I wonder if the crimes of 'trespassing into a house' and 'theft' are enough?"

Zhan Shuyun: "...enough."

Breaking into a private house is breaking into Changfengju, and the crime of theft is stealing the Zihe car.

It's just not very authentic. It's just holding a bucket of shit and slamming it on someone's head. It's a bit...shameless.

"Then, Master Zhan, should you go call someone or put in some effort to do it yourself?"

Zhan Shuyun wiped his face and said, "Just wait here while I go call someone."

——

In the prison of Dali Temple, the black scarf on the face of the man in black had long since disappeared, revealing his unshaven face. He sat up and touched his neck, then covered the back of his head. His whole person looked like he had just woken up from sleep.

Of course, it is true that I have just ‘awakened’.

After waking up, the brain started to automatically replay the memory, and finally it stayed on the neck and received a slap. Seeing that he was not dizzy, he touched the back of his head again.

The memory stopped at this paragraph. The man's face twitched and he secretly cursed the woman for being dishonest and immoral. When he looked around with clear eyes and realized that he was in a prison, he stopped twitching and became ferocious.

"What kind of idiot do you think you are, don't you know the rules of the world?"

A sneeze——

In the Duan Mansion, Yi Yan rubbed his nose without paying attention and continued to concentrate on reading.

Once the man is sober, he can be arraigned.

In the hall, the middle-aged man listened to the list of accusations he had placed on his head, and plucked his ears, "What did you say?"

What the hell?

When did he break into a house and steal property?

He jumped and said, "You must be sick!"

Facing the man's scolding, Zhan Shuyun was very calm.

Anyway, it's not him who's scolding, it's her who's sick.

The interrogation went very poorly. The man didn't say anything and even taunted him.

"Oh, am I not the one who breaks into private houses and steals property? You officials always ask me why I am doing irrelevant things. Is it because I am not smart?"

If you ask too many questions and get tired of asking, you will just say “I don’t know”, “I don’t want to say”, and “Who am I to tell you?”

It's quite a headache.

Seeing the officials' faces looking tired and unable to do anything to him, the man finally felt relieved.

"Don't you just want to get information from me? That's fine, but you have to agree to one condition."

"I want to see the person who knocked me out. You must know who she is. Let me see her, otherwise you won't be able to pry anything out of my mouth!"

As he said that, the man spontaneously walked up to the officers and soldiers who brought him to the hall and urged: "Let's go, let's take me back quickly."

Officers and soldiers: "..."

He was in a dilemma, he couldn't make the decision, so he turned his attention to Zhan Shuyun.

Zhan Shuyun waved his hand, knowing that he couldn't get anything out of the man's mouth for the time being, so he agreed to his wishes.

————

Duan Mansion, hearing that someone came to report Zhan Shuyun's visit, especially when he wanted to see her, Yi Yan was a little annoyed, feeling that the ghost of Zhan Shuyun was still lingering.

"What is Master Zhan doing here again?"

"Not welcome?"

"It's obvious."

Zhan Shuyun didn't care whether Yi Jin welcomed him or not, it was just a polite word, but Yi Jin's polite words didn't sound very nice in reply.

Zhan Shuyun: "Are you sick?"

Ember: "Sick!"

"I didn't say it," Zhan Shuyun said, "it was the person you falsely accused and imprisoned who said you were sick."

Ember glanced at him sideways. Did he come here just to tell her a scolding sentence?

"Too sick!"

Zhan Shuyun nodded, acknowledging that this was Yu Yan's reply to the man in the prison.

Anyway, it's not him.

"I need your help with something."

Yi Yan snorted, "I won't go to the Three Treasures Palace if I have nothing to do!"

Zhan Shuyun turned around and left, "Then I'll borrow someone from Mr. Duan Ge."

Ember: "...You come back!"

Yan Yan gritted his teeth: "I'll go!"

"I'll go!" the man blurted out, "That fool who attacked me turned out to be you?!"

He touched his chest and gasped twice, and pointed at the embers with his other hand, trembling, "It's useless for me to trust you so much, you stabbed me in the back!"

"Don't talk nonsense about backstabbing." Yu Yan said, "At most, it's just that you were unlucky and lost the bet."

"I heard that you were responsible for my crime?"

"No." Yu Yan denied it simply, "I don't have that ability. It is Mr. Zhan who decides the case."

The man didn't seem to hear Yu Yan's words, and looked like he was about to lose his temper, "It's a shame you have such a face, you turned out to be a snake-hearted person."

"If you think so, I can't help it." Across the cell door, Yi Yan squatted down, "We... No, Master Zhan needs you to provide some clues, so he can be released from prison as soon as possible."

Man: "...Then I have to thank you for letting me go out early?"

It was clear that he didn't have to come in, but he was just making excuses!

Thanks to Shi Jin, Youjue, and Sleeping with Flowers for their recommendation votes!
