Zhang Yuanwai sighed, and Shen Lian helped him up and sat on a chair.

"This matter started more than ten days ago..."

Due to time constraints, Butler Chen would return at any time. Foreign Minister Chen briefly described what had happened.

More than ten days ago, Zhang Yuanwai accidentally discovered that something was wrong with Butler Chen, so he paid more attention and finally found that Butler Chen was actually a monster in disguise. The original Butler Chen was missing. He was anxious and told his daughter about the matter. At this time, the parrot also What I heard: Zhang Yuanwai's original intention was to let his daughter sneak out to report to the official, but he didn't expect that the matter was discovered by Butler Chen, who not only took his daughter away, but also threatened Zhang Yuanwai, threatening to kill his entire family if he dared to speak out. , as long as you are obedient, this monster will leave on its own after it completes a big event, and it will not harm his family.

Shen Lian frowned when he heard this, "You said this monster claims to accomplish a big thing?"

Zhang Yuanwai nodded slightly, "He said so himself."

"Have you mentioned what big event it is?" Shen Lian asked.

"This little person doesn't know. The monster didn't tell me, and the little person didn't dare to ask."

Shen Lian nodded slightly and turned to look at Yu Jingting beside him, "Do you have anything to ask?"

Yu Jingting had been reviewing the whole thing. When she saw Shen Lian asking her, she was about to speak. At this time, Jin Yuze, who had been guarding behind the door, suddenly said: "Butler Chen is back."

"Don't alert the enemy and pretend nothing happened." After Shen Lian heard this, he quickly reminded Zhang Yuanwai.

Butler Chen saw the hall door closed in the yard, and felt uneasy in his heart.

But in the blink of an eye, Butler Chen thought that Zhang Yuanwai did not dare to cause more trouble. After all, Zhang Yuanwai firmly believed that his daughter's life was in his hands.

When they came to the door, Butler Chen pretended to knock on the door.

"Master? Master Shen? The food is ready, let's go to the banquet?"

Squeak~~

Jin Yuze opened the door, smiled at Butler Chen, and said, "Butler Chen, don't worry, Mr. Shen is chatting with your master, you can come in first."

According to Yu Jingting's idea, she planned to capture Butler Chen directly, but Shen Lian objected.

The reason is simple. Zhang Yuanwai's daughter is still in the hands of the other party, and any rash action may have consequences that are difficult to control.

Moreover, Shen Lian did not trust Zhang Yuanwai very much.

So at Shen Lian's request, everyone decided to stand still and see what tricks Butler Chen could do.

"Zhang Yuanwai, how much money did you spend on this parrot?" Shen Lian asked wildly.

"To tell you the truth, I spent a total of seven hundred taels in Xia County, Jiaozhou!" Zhang Yuanwai is also a master of acting. He chatted and laughed with Shen Lian with a calm face, as if nothing happened just now.

"I like it very much. How about giving it to me?" Shen Lian said deliberately.

Ah...this...isn't good...

"Haha, it's just a bird. If Mr. Shen likes it, just take it away." Zhang Yuanwai's heart was bleeding, for fear that Shen Lian would really take it away.

"Forget it, forget it, a gentleman will not take away people's love." Shen Lian then shook his head.

At this time, Butler Chen walked up to Mr. Zhang, pushed him, and said, "Master, the food and drinks are ready. Shall we invite these adults to the table?"

Facing Butler Chen, Zhang Yuanwai was visibly nervous, his face instantly turned pale, and his breathing became a little short.

Yu Jingting, who was in the Yaoguang Realm, even felt Zhang Yuanwai's heartbeat speeding up.

This fear is not pretended, it comes from the bottom of my heart.

"Okay, just follow Butler Chen, let's go have dinner first." Zhang Yuanwai smiled at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian nodded, "That's fine, please lead the way."

"Please come this way." Butler Chen looked happy and helped Zhang Yuanwai to walk in front.

On the way to the restaurant, Jin Yuze and Zhou Tianlu each took out a jade bottle the size of a little finger, each poured a pill from it and stuffed it into their mouths.

Shen Lian was quite surprised when he saw the two people's saucy operations, thinking that Da Yu also had vitamins with meals?

Do these two guys know how to maintain health?

Why haven't you noticed it before?

Unexpectedly, Yu Jingting also took out an identical jade bottle at this time, poured out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth.

Shen Lian looked at her in surprise.

"You don't have one? The anti-poison pill refined by Qin Tianjian." Yu Jingting leaned close to Shen Lian's ear and said in a very low voice. Those who didn't know thought they were biting their ears.

Shen Lian shook his head in confusion.

Not only is it not that simple, this is the first time I have heard of it.

From Shen Lian's facial expression, Yu Jingting could already tell the answer.

She smiled slightly, poured out another one and handed it to Shen Lian.

"Eat it and you will be well prepared."

Jin Yuze and Zhou Tianlu also nodded slightly at Shen Lian at this time.

After taking the poison-avoiding pill, Shen Lian felt an immediate cooling sensation running through his heart, as if he had drank a mint-flavored cold drink.

All three of them thought there was something wrong with this meal?

Shen Lian frowned. He had never doubted Jin Yuze and Zhou Tianlu's experience in handling cases. When the three of them chatted before, Shen Lian learned that they had been in the Shadow Guard for seven years and had participated in hundreds of cases, large and small.

And for Yu Jingting to be able to sit in the position of chief arrester of Jingzhao Mansion, she is definitely not an ordinary person.

Now that the three of them had taken the poison-avoiding pills at the same time, Shen Lian became more cautious.

Zhang Yuanwai is worthy of being the richest man in Hujiagou Village. He is really rich.

The restaurant is very large. Shen Lian initially estimated it to be at least 80 square meters. There is a huge wooden dining table in the center. Although I don't know what kind of wood it is made of, you can tell at a glance that it is very valuable.

"Masters, please take a seat." Butler Chen warmly entertained Shen Lian and others. In comparison, Zhang Yuanwai was much duller and almost said nothing.

It can be seen that he is really nervous in front of Butler Chen.

As soon as Shen Lian sat down, Yuan Zhang's family members also arrived one after another.

One of them, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a particularly graceful appearance, sat next to Shen Lian.

At first he thought it was Zhang Yuanwai's other daughter, but when they were introduced to each other, he realized that it turned out to be his concubine.............

The meal was quite harmonious. Except for member Zhang who was a little nervous, everyone else was happy. It seemed that the Zhang family didn't know about Butler Chen, or maybe there was something wrong with them all!

Shen Lian couldn't be sure. He looked at Yu Jingting and others and found that their eyes were full of vigilance.

During the dinner, Butler Chen was very active and kept thinking of ways to toast Shen Lian and others.

The poison-avoiding pill also has a hangover effect, so Shen Lian doesn't have to worry about getting drunk.

After drinking and eating, Shen Lian thought that Butler Chen would find a way to get them to leave. Unexpectedly, the other party did the opposite and actively asked Shen Lian and others to stay overnight.

"Master Shen, it's getting late now. You've been drinking again, which will cause inconvenience on the road. I suggest you stay at the house and wait until daybreak before leaving. There are still many empty rooms here." After Butler Chen finished speaking, he added He looked at Yuan Zhang and said, "Sir, what do you think?"

"Ah? Oh, oh, just follow Butler Chen." Zhang Yuanwai couldn't make up his mind and decided to follow Butler Chen's wishes.
