The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 122 Lost News

After leaving the capital, Lin Shanjuan sped along the main road.

Bai Shu was eager to return home, and with several witnesses, he definitely couldn't take the small road and would definitely rush back from the main road. Therefore, I also needed to follow the official road straight ahead, and I would definitely find him.

It is still unknown how many people Ji Shihan has sent to intercept and kill Bai Shu. If he goes too late, Bai Shu and his subordinates may not be able to withstand it at all.

With this thought in mind, Lin Shanjuan did not dare to rest for a moment. He changed horses after running a few hundred miles, walked during the day and slept at night. In just one month, he had covered most of the distance.

Bai Shu left a few days earlier than her, so he should have returned by now.

They will be able to meet in half a month at the latest.

Before she knew it, it was dark. Lin Shan was exhausted from running and had missed her place to stay. She had already run dozens of miles and didn't want to turn back. She simply tied her horse under a tree and climbed up the tree to spend the night.

Although I was used to sleeping on a soft bed, it was very uncomfortable to be stuck between the treetops.

But after a whole day of riding, she was very sleepy, so soon her eyelids began to droop.

He was sleeping soundly when the horse under the tree suddenly neighed. Lin Shanjuan woke up instantly, clenched the longbow in his hand, and looked down through the gaps in the leaves.

Half an incense stick of time passed before four men in black appeared and surrounded the horse from a distance.

"Brother, there are only horses but no people here, what should we do?"

"Yeah, big brother, we've been squatting for so long, and we really haven't seen anyone. Even if it's Xiaojie, he should be back by now, right?"

"Don't panic! If she abandons her horse and runs away, the people ahead won't let her off easily! Go look around!"

Lin Shanjuan was waiting for them to split up and after seeing the four people turning in four directions respectively, she drew her bow and shot an arrow and quickly killed one of them.

“Brother…ah!”

A scream suddenly rang out, and several men in black immediately gathered in the direction of the scream as if they were facing a great enemy.

They rushed here shouting. Lin Shanjuan had already ambushed behind a tree. When the person who arrived the fastest was checking the body, he slashed his throat with a knife.

The two people who rushed over saw that it was another corpse and became angry and embarrassed.

They hadn't even seen anyone yet, and two people had already died. Could this person also be a killer?

"Who are you? You're playing tricks on me! Come out now!"

Lin Shanjuan chuckled, "Your assassins are really bad."

The two men subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, but it was too late. What entered their sight was only the feather arrow that pierced their foreheads a second later.

Lin Shanjuan raised his lips in disdain, thinking that his whereabouts had been revealed, and he was probably seen by someone when he went out.

Ji Shihan is a ruthless person. He would never let these four idiots chase and intercept us. He must have a backup plan. We should not stay here for long.

After this incident, he lost all desire to sleep, so he got on his horse and hurried on.

Just as she expected, four days later, she nominally moved into the upper room of the inn, but in fact she had been resting in the cellar of the inn.

That night, after several loud noises, she opened the wooden board of the cellar and saw flames rising into the sky in the inn, which was completely turned into a sea of ​​fire by the fire bomb!

How dare these people be so presumptuous!

The people in the inn couldn't escape at all. Some were burned to death, some were blown to death, and there was wailing everywhere.

Lin Shanjuan was filled with hatred and wanted to get rid of the culprits as soon as possible. However, he was worried that they were in the dark while he was in the light and might be ambushed. Therefore, he could only lead his horse and escape from the sea of ​​fire.

This news quickly spread to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Ji Shihan hurriedly pushed the door open, but suddenly stopped and ordered the housekeeper, "Stay outside and don't let anyone get close!"

The housekeeper was stunned and had to agree.

The door was tightly closed, and only a faint question could be heard: "Can you blow that man to death..." Nothing more could be heard after that.

After hearing the assassin's report, Ji Shihan was so angry that he almost exploded. He looked at him gloomily and spoke in a bad tone.

"We sent out ten people to try to stop him twice, but he still escaped, didn't he?"

The assassin shuddered and replied with difficulty, "We...we saw with our own eyes that man move into Room 1. He was clearly sound asleep in the room when we set the fire mines, but somehow, after the fire was out, there was no one in the room!"

Ji Shihan was furious and swept the cups and plates on the table to the ground, making a mess.

"Useless! You keep saying you're the best soldiers in the army, but now it seems you're just good-for-nothings!"

The assassin dared not speak. After a long silence, Ji Shihan waved his hand and said, "Go back. Don't tell anyone about this."

The assassin agreed and jumped out of the back window and left.

Ji Shihan watched his figure disappear behind the rockery before calling out in a low voice, "Qisi."

A man in black suddenly fell down from the beam, knelt on one knee, and clasped his hands together.

"Master's orders."

Ji Shihan looked at the debris on the ground, his tone gloomy, "Go find them, no matter the cost, kill those who disobeyed this Grand Tutor! And Chu Kuo's parents, these good-for-nothings, none of them can be spared."

Now more and more people know about this matter. If Qisi is not sent out, I am afraid that even more people will be killed!

Qisi responded and soon disappeared again.

Ji Shihan revealed a hint of a cold smile, "Lin Shanjuan, even if you send out some experts, they are nothing compared to my trump card. People who are too smart are not people I can control. Such people deserve to die."

The next day, the housekeeper took the opportunity to go out shopping to send all the other servants away. Noticing that no one was following him, he hurriedly entered the princess's mansion through the back door.

Qi Zhaomian had known for a month that Lin Shanjuan had gone to Quxian Town alone. She was worried, but couldn't let it show so others wouldn't notice, so she'd been secretly sending people back to report any clues about Lin Shanjuan for the past few days.

It was a pity that the person hid his tracks too well. Her spies did not see Lin Shanjuan. Perhaps she had changed her appearance. In any case, there was no news of her.

Lin Shanjuan is indeed the most ideal son-in-law. Not only is his temperament and appearance good, but he also always shares his worries without saying a word.

Since I married her, I have become much clearer about the situation in the court over the past few months because of her.

Once the salt smuggling was uncovered, Ji Shihan lost most of the money he had saved over the years. I wonder what nerve will be touched when the truth of this case comes to light.
