Lei Lingshuai's Mansion is so quiet that you can hear the needle drop.
"Dong dong dong"
A sudden knock on the door broke the original tranquility of the courtyard, even though the sound was very soft.
Two figures suddenly appeared behind the door, and then the door was opened a crack, and the person outside lifted a corner of the curtain.
"Lin... Mr. Lin?!"
"Young Master is finally back!"
The two immediately opened the door and welcomed Lin Chuan into the house, but Lin Chuan stopped moving forward.
These two were the spiritual generals who guarded Lingshuai's Mansion and were Lin Xichun's personal guards. They were loyal to Lin Xichun.
"Has uncle returned home?" Lin Chuan asked.
They both shook their heads.
"Is Lei Fang in the house?" Lin Chuan asked in a deep voice.
The two guards looked at each other after hearing this, and then shook their heads again.
Lin Chuan nodded and looked around: "We'll talk about it when we get home."
Lin Chuan originally wanted Lan Yin'er to sneak into the mansion to check if Lei Fang was there, but considering that there was a formation in Lingshuai's mansion, if those two people found out, they would most likely be accidentally injured, so he simply acted generously.
Fang Di enters the house.
The candlelight swayed in the hall, Lin Chuan took off his hat and looked at the two people who were inexplicably surprised.
"We thought we would never see the young master again!" Guard A squeezed his big eyes and finally squeezed out a tear.
Guard Yiyi followed suit by humming twice to show his sadness.
"Why, I've only been away for two days, and I miss you so much!" Lin Chuan smiled bitterly.
"I've heard all about it. There was a fire in Zuiyue Tower the night before. The whole building was burned down. There were only a few people who survived..."
"Well... I also heard that a Winter Assassin broke into the building that night and started killing..."
Lin Chuan did not interrupt Guard Jia's eloquence, but listened quite carefully. When the two of them had almost finished talking, Lin Chuan said: "You two have not left the house, but you are quite well informed. They all came from
Where did you find out?"
"Oh, this is what Director Lei told us." Guard A replied.
"Lei Fang? When did he come here?" Lin Chuan frowned and asked in a deep voice.
But seeing that Lin Chuan's expression was wrong and his tone was quite deep, the guard did not answer immediately. He obviously sensed something was wrong. When he mentioned Lei Fang in front of the mansion, the young master seemed to have the same expression. Could it be Manager Lei...
"Lei... Manager Lei... You... You came to the mansion at the end of the day and said..." Seeing that Guard A didn't answer in time, Guard B thought he had forgotten the time, so he rushed to reply to Lin Chuan.
"Today is the hour of You?" Lin Chuanxin said, no wonder it was Guard A who was always talking. It turned out that Guard B suffered from a stutter.
They both nodded.
Lin Chuanxin said: Well, it turns out that he is still in the city. You have to hide carefully tonight. Don't let me catch him!
"What else did Chief Lei say?" Lin Chuan's expression softened and he asked the guard.
Guard A rolled his eyes and was about to speak when Lin Chuan said again: "You'd better tell the truth. My uncle doesn't like other people lying. He just doesn't like it, and I... hate it!"
Lin Chuan suddenly released powerful spiritual pressure as he spoke. Although they were both in the Earth Spirit Realm, Lin Chuan was just a Boiling Spiritualist in the Sixth Xuanling Realm a few days ago, but now he was a genuine Earth Spirit Realm.
This speed of entry was unbelievable. Thinking back to Lin Chuan slapping Vice Admiral Tie that day, this young man's status was extremely noble.
"How dare you deceive the young master?" Guard A bowed and saluted, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and continued.
"He said that he encountered an assassin on the way to the city lord's palace that day. In order to distract the assassin, he got separated from you. Then he gathered people to look for you, but only found horse corpses and scattered carriage frames."
Lin Chuan sneered in his heart, he managed to distract the assassin, he was so loyal.
"I thought you were kidnapped by those assassins. I followed the assassins outside the city, but no trace of you was found. It wasn't until the Zuiyue Tower burned into the sky that I learned from the survivors that the young master was also in the building, but he was still not found.
, I guess the young master will probably be buried in the sea of fire."
Lin Chuan escaped very cleverly that night. He did not run outside the building, but instead ran inside the building. Although the fire was raging inside the building, it was almost burned and there was still room to move.
"As expected of Lei Fang!" Lin Chuan sneered.
"Do you two know that besides the house, does he have any other place to live?"
The two of them thought about it for a long time, and Guard B suddenly said: "I...I remembered! He...he still...has a place to live near the market place!"
"I heard him say that he had a woman there. I heard that she was a prostitute. Lei Lingshuai always hated promiscuous women. Manager Lei did not dare to bring her into the house, so he built a house outside...
"
Before the guard Jia could finish his words, Lin Chuan stood up and told the two men to see Lei Fang again and to keep him by any means.
The two guards nodded dully, and until Lin Chuan disappeared in front of them, they still couldn't understand what Lin Chuan wanted.
…
Lin Chuan met up with Murong Longyue and Lan Yin'er. He asked Murong Longyue to stay here. To be honest, he didn't trust those two personal guards. After all, he had only been here a few days, and even though he was close to Lin Xichun,
I'm afraid he won't be able to defeat the Thunder Manager either.
Lin Chuan did not go directly to Shifang Residential Area, but took a detour to the back alley.
At the end of the alley, there were faint snores coming from the bamboo shacks. These snores were not as loud as those of adult men.
Lin Chuan deliberately let out some footsteps, and the bamboo shed instantly became quiet, and the sound of breathing could no longer be heard.
Lin Chuan could see anxious little faces through the curtain hat. Seeing this, Lin Chuan simply took off his hat.
After these little guys saw Lin Chuan's face clearly, they immediately became excited and poked their little heads out of the bamboo shed one by one. Chen Boyuan hid the dagger in his hand under the quilt.
Lin Chuan counted the heads and suddenly frowned.
"Chen Boyuan." Lin Chuan called softly.
Chen Boyuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and slid out of the bamboo shed with a shrug. His movements were so familiar that it made people feel distressed. Jianqu Pavilion
"Young Master actually remembered my name!" Chen Boyuan was greatly surprised. He looked at Lin Chuan in disbelief and asked, "Why are you here so late?"
"Why is there one person missing?" Lin Chuan asked without answering.
"Dead. The temperature dropped sharply in the past two days. They were all more or less infected with the cold. If they couldn't be treated for a long time, they died if they couldn't bear it." Chen Boyuan didn't show any sadness when talking about this matter, as if it was such a thing.
Happens frequently.
Lin Chuan looked at the bamboo shed again, and saw their little purple faces from the cold, and their noses were dripping with snot. Then he looked at the "quilts" they were covered with, which were made of seven or eight layers of coarse linen clothes. Lin Chuan felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.
Lin Chuan took out two leather robes from the Qiankun Realm and threw them directly to Chen Boyuan.
The thick leather robe almost brought Chen Boyuan down, but Chen Boyuan sent the robe to the bamboo shed without saying a word.
The little beggars swarmed into the leather robes, and several of them crowded together, their little faces filled with unprecedented happiness.
Chen Boyuan returned to Lin Chuan and let him look at the little beggars.
