Chapter 666: It's strange that I didn't do anything
When Jiang Suining and the other two entered the dungeon, Wen Yan and Cheng Du were already there.
Wen Yan's eyebrows were raised, and there was a rare hint of coldness and anger on her charming and beautiful face.
Cheng Du stood beside her. Although his expression was not as bad as Wen Yan's, it was not looking good either.
Seeing Jiang Suining and the others coming over, Wen Yan cast a suspicious look at them.
"Is this not your work?"
Shen Yanxi's gaze first fell on the five corpses in the dungeon, and then moved to Wen Yan.
"Since we entered the black market, our every move must have been under the surveillance of Master Wen. Master Wen should know whether this matter is related to us and whether we can send people to sneak in and kill them."
"That's right." Pei Zhaozhi also spoke up, "What's more, the order I and Prime Minister Shen received was to bring the five of them back alive. What good would it do us if they died?"
Although Wen Yan felt that it made sense and reduced his suspicion of them, his expression was still not good.
She looked at Jiang Suining, who had not spoken yet, and said, "Does Miss Jiang have anything to say?"
"What Prime Minister Shen and Lord Pei can't do, I naturally can't do either."
As Jiang Suining spoke, he carefully looked at the situation in the dungeon.
This dungeon is not big, and you can see it at a glance. There is only one entrance. If you want to sneak into the dungeon and kill someone in this situation...
"Master Wen, I wonder if there is anyone guarding the entrance to this dungeon?"
"Of course there are, but..." Wen Yan's eyes darkened, "They are all dead."
The two people guarding outside the door were poisoned and were dead when they were found.
Although the guards were not tight, in this black market, one could pass through the many checkpoints in front and enter the Wuliang Building, and even sneak into the backyard dungeon to kill people, and even use poison...
Wen Yan's breathing stagnated, perhaps it was a conspiracy between inside and outside.
Jiang Suining also thought of this, "Master Wen, do you have full confidence in the people in this Wuliang Tower?"
"We are in the black market, and we don't need loyal people. Even if someone close to me suddenly turns his sword against me and takes my life one day, it's nothing strange. How can I have complete trust in others?"
"If that's the case, it might be difficult to investigate." Jiang Suining shook his head and said.
If you don't trust everyone, that means everyone is a suspect. It would be impossible to investigate everyone in the Wuliang Building.
What's more, there is a banquet in the building tonight, and with so many people coming, the situation is even more complicated.
but……
Since the target is these five Xilin spies, the person who took action should be more or less involved in this matter, or he should be a Xilin person.
Wen Yan's face looked really bad. No matter who did it, the five spies were dead anyway.
She looked at Pei Zhaozhi and Shen Yanxi, "We also have rules in Wulianglou. Since the item is gone, you no longer need to pay. Prime Minister Shen, Lord Pei, and Lady Jiang, you can leave now."
"Can we take the bodies of these five people away and report back?" Shen Yanxi asked.
Wen Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Forget it, I'll have someone send it out later. Just consider it as a favor from me to Prime Minister Shen. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
Without waiting for Shen Yanxi to speak, Pei Zhaozhi said, "Maybe there is an opportunity right now."
"What does Master Pei mean by this?"
"I want to ask Mr. Wen to help me catch someone."
"who?"
"A thief with a lot of blood on his hands named Zhang Sheng is in the lobby on the first floor. If you are willing to help, you can name the price."
"Heh." Wen Yan laughed, "Master Pei, although the items in my Wuliang Tower are auctioned to the highest bidder, the Zhang Sheng you mentioned is not an item in my tower. How can I make an offer?"
"He is cruel and merciless, and has done many evil things. Before..."
Pei Zhaozhi was interrupted by Wen Yan before he could finish his words.
"Since we are in this black market, how many people have clean hands? No matter what he did, it is a matter between him and your court. If Lord Pei is really capable, then find a way to lure him out of the black market and arrest him. If you can't..." Wen Yan smiled faintly, looking into Pei Zhaozhi's eyes and said slowly, "Lord Pei, please don't embarrass me."
Wen Yan's eyes were very charming and pretty, and she seemed to be silently affectionate when looking at people, but her eyes were extremely cold.
Meeting such a gaze, Pei Zhao subconsciously frowned again.
But thinking of the blood debt on Zhang Sheng's hands, he was still unwilling to give up and asked again.
"Then I wonder if Mr. Wen has any idea to make it an auction item of your Wulianglou?"
Wen Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled again, and looked at Pei Zhaozhi with a bit of interest, "If this owner wants to, there is naturally a way, but... Lord Pei doesn't seem to be worth this owner's trouble."
"you……"
"Take care, everyone. I won't see you off."
Wen Yan did not give Pei Zhaozhi another chance to speak and directly ordered him to leave.
Seeing Wen Yan's cold face and his unwillingness to say anything more, Pei Zhaozhi swallowed the words he had not finished saying and finally did not speak again.
Just as a few people said goodbye and prepared to leave, Jiang Suining suddenly looked at Wen Yan again.
"By the way, could you please tell me who the guests at the other table on the second floor are today?"
"The other table..." Wen Yan thought for a moment and looked at Cheng Du.
The latter said, "He is a young man from a wealthy family. He spent 10,000 taels of silver to see the banquet in the Wuliang Tower. As for his name and identity, I don't know, but he is a man with a lot of money."
"What's the matter? Did that person do something to make Lady Jiang curious?" Wen Yan asked.
Jiang Suining shook his head. "On the contrary, it's a little strange because I didn't do anything."
"Probably these wealthy people came to watch the fun. This kind of situation has happened before. They may not be interested in the items in the building, but they heard about the black market and the banquet in the Wuliang Building, so they wanted to take a look." Cheng Du explained.
"You know it clearly. That's right. You were the one who let those people in before in after paying them." Wen Yan glared at Cheng Du neither lightly nor seriously.
Cheng Du touched his nose and smiled at Wen Yan with a guilty conscience, "Sister, it doesn't break the rules of our Wulianglou anyway. It's always good to make more money."
Wen Yan snorted and said nothing.
Jiang Suining and the others left the backyard and went out of the Wuliang Tower.
The three of them stopped only when they reached the street where the Wuliang Building was located.
