Chapter 489 The culprit
Chen Ziyan knew what Li Wu was thinking, and he was just using some means to find out what Lin Zhong was hiding.
He also believed that Li Wu could do it. Although this opportunity belonged to the government, how could the world distinguish between black and white? Given his position, there was definitely no shortage of people under his command who were proficient in torture.
If Lin Zhongzhi was really handed over to the other party, he would definitely be able to ask anything. But Chen Ziyan felt that there were some things that could be done and some things that couldn't be done.
He obtained the bronze bell and part of the information from Lin Zhongzhong in a transaction. No one could say anything at this time, but for the methods Li Wu wanted to use, Chen Ziyan believed that he would definitely kill people and silence him afterwards.
Although Chen Ziyan never thought that he was a good person, he could still be regarded as a villain with a bottom line, so he decisively stopped Li Wu from continuing.
If you really let him say it, it would be another matter to refuse at that time.
Chen Ziyan could see what Li Wu was thinking, and Wu Laogou, who was more senior, knew it even better. Seeing Li Wu's expression of concern, he smiled and said:
"At most this little kid knows some rumors from the countryside. Our top priority is to deal with those nephews as soon as possible. There is no need to embarrass them too much."
Seeing Wu Laogou also standing on Chen Ziyan's side, the unhappiness on Li Wu's face disappeared in an instant, and he also laughed: "Haha, you two are looking down on me, Li Wu. I just want to say that Mr. Chen
If it's not appropriate, don't dare to embarrass this little brother."
Although everyone knew some things well, as long as they were not fully put on the table, it was nothing, so Li Wu easily covered up the matter.
Chen Ziyan smiled and nodded, and said in a dignified manner: "Since Manager Li has spoken, naturally I can't do anything for you, so I will leave the money to you."
The three of them were all smiling here, but Lin Zhongzhi, who was at the center of the topic, couldn't help but tremble.
How come he still can't realize that the conversation between these three people is related to his fate.
It also made him fully understand how naive his previous thoughts were. Chen Ziyan was willing to trade with him because he had a bottom line in his heart, but it did not mean that the same was true for others.
He knew very well what would be waiting for him if he fell into the hands of someone like Li Wu.
After glancing at Lin Zhizhi with a half-smile, Chen Ziyan said: "You two, it's getting late, we should go take care of those nephews."
Chen Ziyan knew that Lin Zhizhi was hiding something that he had not revealed, and he also knew that most of the things he was hiding were related to his daughter, which was the fundamental reason why he did not press further.
In fact, he is not shy about using tricks on people, but he will not do anything to such an ignorant child. This is also the reason for allowing Lin Zhongzhi to hide it.
Naturally, Li Wu and Wu Laogou would not refuse Chen Ziyan's proposal.
If it weren't for Lin Zhongzhong and his daughter, they would have started taking action now.
"Just stay with us for a while. It's not safe around here now. You are lucky enough to be able to walk in safely with that little guy, but luck will not always favor you. Don't worry, what will happen when you get here?"
When it's over, I'll send you home safely."
Before leaving the house, Chen Ziyan said to Lin Zhongzhi.
He had no other purpose than to protect the father and daughter.
Chen Ziyan could probably guess that if the two of them could reach around the camp, they must be able to avoid their nephew, but now they had to face more dangers than that.
It would be okay if they stayed with Chen Ziyan all the time, but if they left like this, Li Wu would not let them leave safely.
Although the contact time is still short, Chen Ziyan has a preliminary understanding of Li Wu. He is not a kind character. It is inevitable that he will not secretly arrest the father and daughter Lin Zhongzhong and Xiuxi behind their backs.
stand up.
"Okay." Lin Zhongzhi nodded quickly.
He is not a fool, and it is still unclear how Chen Ziyan treats him with more kindness than malice.
After leaving the tent, Wu Laogou looked at Chen Ziyan and asked, "Little friend Chen, I don't know where we should start?"
Hunting down Nephew is easy to say, but not easy to do. Not to mention the combat power shown by Nephew, just finding the whereabouts of the other party is already a problem.
So the first question before them now is how to find their nephew.
Excluding the one that has been killed, there should be eight left now.
Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said: "There are two ways now. One is to use the corpse of Nephew to wait for the enemy. Nephew not only holds grudges but is also very united. They will definitely not let the bodies of their companions remain in our hands.
Another way is to take the initiative. We have brought a lot of dogs, and we also have the corpse of our nephew in our hands, so they can track it based on the smell."
Wu Laogou nodded and said: "At present, these are the only two methods that are feasible, but they each have their own advantages and disadvantages."
He immediately calculated it in his mind. As he said, these two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of the former is that it can wait for work. If the corresponding traps are set up, then maybe the remaining ones can be taken away without fighting.
Nephew was captured, but the disadvantage was that the timing was uncertain, because the initiative was all on Nephew's side.
The second method is to take the initiative, but if you want to rely on scent to chase, you must let out the dogs under your hands, which will definitely cause casualties.
Li Wu immediately said: "Two gentlemen, we can't afford to wait. If you ask me, I'd better choose the second option."
There are almost a lot of dogs around the camp now. Didn't you notice that even those nephews can't get in?
From the previous fight, it is not difficult to see that Nephew is smart. If he wants to trick them into a trap, there is no telling how long it will take for the other party to fall into the trap. The preparation time is not short.
And more importantly, it was Chen Ziyan's dogs who took the initiative, or Wu Laogou's black back. What does the loss of these dogs have to do with Li?
To put it bluntly, Li Wu wished that the strength of the two of them would be weakened as a result.
This can not only solve Nephew's problem, but also give him more say in the subsequent exploration of the Snake Cave, which is a good thing for him.
Although Li Wu's face was full of anxiety and worry about solving the problem, Chen Ziyan couldn't see the little Jiujiu in his heart.
So he asked directly: "Manager Li, it's not impossible to take the initiative to knock him down, but should we agree on some things in advance? You must know that even if we are brothers, we have to settle accounts clearly."
Wu Laogou didn't say anything this time, but sometimes silence also represents attitude.
Although he didn't bring as many dogs as Chen Ziyan, it was still a loss. He, Old Dog Wu, was not a selfless person.
Li Wu was choked by Chen Ziyan's words. He subconsciously wanted to come up with a series of clichés, such as what should be dedicated.
But when he spoke, he suddenly stopped, because the person in front of him was not the people he had faced before, but a well-known 'big evil person', and the other person was not the kind of person who would let him manipulate him.
"Master Chen, what do you think we should do?" Li Wu thought for a while and asked with a sad face.
He actually wanted to use money to compensate Chen Ziyan directly, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was a bit inappropriate. After all, the leader of Xiiling was not a money-hungry owner, so he kicked the ball back.
Chen Ziyan had already prepared this and said with a smile: "We are all working hard for the same goal now. I am not the kind of person who makes trouble without reason. Mr. Li, do you think this is good or not? I don't set the so-called standards. As long as I can successfully complete the task."
, how about you give me one of those magical artifacts from your bureau."
After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Wu Laogou secretly gave him a thumbs up in his heart. This young man is really amazing. This is like opening a lion's mouth.
Those magical artifacts from the Folklore Affairs Administration are coveted by everyone on the road, but since they have never been circulated, you can see how strict the other party's management is.
Now Chen Ziyan is asking the other party directly for losses that have not yet occurred. This is simply raising the price.
"Master Chen...please stop making fun of me, okay?" Li and the other five were a little stupid.
"I'm not joking." Chen Ziyan shook his head: "I don't ask for strength, even if it is flawed, I just want to satisfy my curiosity."
In fact, Chen Ziyan also had a sudden idea and wanted to see if he could take this opportunity to buy such a magical artifact.
He has always been interested in the artifacts in the Bureau, mainly because he wanted to know whether those objects were the treasures he knew about.
According to Chen Ziyan's understanding, the magic weapon is definitely not up to that level, but to say it is a treasure weapon is a bit much.
Although the Management Bureau is backed by the entire country, things like treasures are of the type that are hard to come by. It does not mean that you can find them if you want to. It is normal for the Bureau to collect some, but like last time
It would be a bit outrageous that almost everyone has one.
It was difficult for him to understand that it was only a provincial branch, and it was not a big province, yet it could be so wealthy.
So since then, Chen Ziyan has been thinking about finding an opportunity to get one from the administration and study what it is.
If they were all treasures, then he would have to get to know the Folklore Affairs Bureau again.
"This...Master Chen, this is really not good."
"No, this will work."
"this……"
"In a word, if you agree, then I will let the dogs out now and try to kill my nephew before dark. If you don't agree, then let's start studying what traps to use."
Facing Chen Ziyan's words, Li Wu's expression changed several times, and finally he said with great reluctance: "Okay."
Then he lowered his voice: "Mr. Chen, I have something in my hand that is incomplete and can no longer display its abilities. It can only be regarded as a special material. You can use this as reward."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at the two of them and said again: "I hope you two won't spread the word."
Chen Ziyan nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
Wu Laogou also nodded, indicating that he would not tell anyone.
He is basically just watching the show now. From the moment Li Wu agreed to the deal, it already meant that the hunt for his nephew would have nothing to do with him.
However, Wu Laogou was also thinking secretly in his heart, planning to participate in more operations organized by the administration in the future, and maybe he would have the opportunity to get one.
But he also knew in his heart that the reason why Li Wu agreed to Chen Ziyan's conditions was that, firstly, he was already riding a tiger, and secondly, the reward he had to pay was just a defective product, which belonged to a personal collection, and he gave it to Chen Ziyan.
It is a borderline operation.
"You two, wait a moment, I will start making arrangements now." Chen Ziyan was not the one in Moji, and he immediately walked towards the tent where Yingzi was.
If you want the dogs to start taking action, you still have to rely on Yingzi.
At this moment, Yingzi had brought Lin Zhongzhong over, and he was whispering something to his daughter there.
Chen Ziyan didn't care about this, and said to Yingzi when he entered the door: "Yingzi, later you will let the dogs go around outside the camp for a few times, um... just a group of five."
In fact, Chen Ziyan never expected to let the fierce dog trained by Yingzi Jingxin do this.
Sending the dogs out is just a show, the real work is done by the weasels hiding in the dark. Although the combat effectiveness of weasels is not as good as that of fierce dogs, the costs between the two are basically comparable.
Although these fierce dogs cannot reach the level of giant mastiffs, they have been trained quietly for several months, and it is not cost-effective to spend them here.
Those weasels were just collected and forcibly controlled by the little fairy. They were perfect as consumables.
As Yingzi, who knew about the existence of the weasels, he immediately understood what Chen Ziyan meant. He nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Chen, I'll let them out right now."
Chen Ziyan nodded slightly, but when he was about to leave, Lin Zhongzhong suddenly came to him.
"Little brother, what's the matter?" Chen Ziyan looked at him and asked.
The other party's behavior obviously meant that he had something to say.
Lin Zhongzhi hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I just concealed one thing, that is, with the bronze bell, Xiuxi can control the tomb-guarding beast, which is what you call Nephew."
"The tomb-guarding beast you mentioned is Nephew? Can you confirm it?" Chen Ziyan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.
"I can confirm that I have read the Book of Mountains and Seas and know what Nephew Di looks like. The tomb-guarding beast we awakened is Nephew Di." Lin Zhongzhi replied firmly.
"Did you wake up my nephew?"
"Um."
"I have brought Xixi here several times recently. Last time I woke up my nephew here, but we were frightened at the time and ran back without thinking too much. This time I came just to try and see if my nephew can
Take us to the tomb."
After hearing Lin Zhongzhi's words, the clues in Chen Ziyan's mind gradually connected.
If Lin Zhongzhi had not lied, the father and daughter were the culprits of all this.
