Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1890: An Incident Occurs in Xingyun Town

"That's true. Let's go. I'm a little tired after not sleeping all night. Let's go back and rest first."

Chen Changli's words made Wan Shufang feel much better. After worrying for a whole night, she just felt exhausted. She yawned, pulled Chen Changli and was about to leave.

After the fireworks display was over, because they were worried about Yongzhou City, the two did not rush to leave. They waited and watched for several days. After confirming that nothing would happen in Yongzhou City, Chen Changli handed the matter over to the Supervisory Office and the Dali Temple for investigation, and then went to Xingyun Town with Wan Shufang.

"Dad, Mom, you must take good care of yourselves out there. If you run out of money, remember to write to me and An'er will ask someone to bring it to you."

Chen An's face was full of reluctance and worry. He was really worried about his parents. If Chen Changli and Wan Shufang had not insisted on leaving, he would have kept them here.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang have special identities and have made many enemies. It is safer for them to stay in the Duke's Mansion than outside.

Seeing his worry, Wan Shufang smiled and gently soothed him.

"It's okay, An'er. You don't know how capable your parents are. They are very capable."

"An'er, take good care of the Duke's Mansion."

"Mom, don't worry, An'er will take good care of the Duke's Mansion."

Chen An agreed, and the carriage moved slowly. Wan Shufang said goodbye to Chen An and the others, and drove out of the city. They still had to go to Xingyun Town to fulfill what they had promised to Amir.

The carriage moved slowly, and Yongzhou City gradually disappeared behind it. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang sat in the carriage, discussing where to start the investigation.

Halfway through the journey, the carriage suddenly stopped. Wan Shufang lifted the curtain and said, "We haven't reached Xingyun Town yet, why did the carriage stop?"

"Madam, there is someone blocking the road ahead."

Hearing this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other, lifted the curtain, got off the carriage, and saw a man lying on the ground, blocking the way of the carriage.

A faint smell of blood entered her nose, and Wan Shufang frowned: "He is injured. Judging from his clothes, he looks like someone from the imperial court."

The injured man was wearing official uniform. The two men walked up to him, squatted down, and only then could they see the man's face clearly. Their faces suddenly changed.

“It’s Lin Zhen!”

Wan Shufang immediately took Lin Zhen's pulse, took out a pill from the space, fed it to Lin Zhen, and then looked at Chen Changli.

"He's still breathing. Come on, there's a town ahead. Let's go and heal him first."

The driver and Chen Changli carried Lin Zhen back to the car and rushed to the town. They found an inn, and Wan Shufang was able to sit down and give Lin Zhen acupuncture to heal his wounds.

Under Wan Shufang's treatment, Lin Zhen gradually woke up. His body was full of needles and he could not move. Only his eyeballs could move.

Seeing Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, Lin Zhen was excited: "Sir, Madam, I..."

"Don't talk for now. Wait for me to take out the needle." Wan Shufang warned with a cold face. Lin Zhen shut up obediently and could not move until the silver needle was removed from his body.

Lin Zhen looked guilty, and even though he was still injured, he still insisted on getting up.

"My Lord, Madam, it is my incompetence that I failed to protect Xingyun Town."

Hearing this, even though Wan Shufang and Chen Changli had already prepared for something to happen in Xingyun Town, they still had mixed feelings and forced themselves to ask for details.

"Xingyun Town, what happened? How did you get so badly injured?"

"I have been following the adults' request and guarding against any abnormalities. Xingyun Town has been safe and sound. But a few days ago, an explosion suddenly occurred in Xingyun Town. The whole town was destroyed and Yang Afu was buried under the rubble."

"The explosion came unexpectedly, and no one was prepared. I was in great trouble. I managed to escape with great difficulty and wanted to return to Yongzhou City to report the news. However, I was seriously injured and fainted on the road."

The more Lin Zhen spoke, the deeper the regret in his eyes became. If he had been more careful, so many lives in Xingyun Town would not have been sacrificed in vain.

For a moment, the room was silent. So many people had died. Wan Shufang had no time to comfort Lin Zhen. She took a deep breath.

"It's a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Changli, the target of that group of people was not Yongzhou City in the first place. The reason they bought saltpeter in Yongzhou City was just to lure us away."

Wan Shufang had thought everything through. They defended Yongzhou City with all their might, but they didn't expect the other side to lure the tiger away from the mountain and blow up Xingyun Town.

Chen Changli pursed his lips and looked at Lin Zhen, his tone so calm that it was a little scary.

"Take Lin Zhen back to Yongzhou City first. Cui Yan is still in prison. He is the only one who can make a breakthrough in this matter. We must pry Cui Yan's mouth open no matter what."

After saying that, he stood up, left the room, and went to find the waiter to pay the bill.

There was no time to lose. Even though Lin Zhen's injury had not healed yet, they had to leave first. The three of them squeezed into a carriage and hurried back to Yongzhou City before dark.

After settling Lin Zhen, Chen Changli went directly to the prison. When Cui Yan saw Chen Changli, his expression was still calm and composed.

Seeing him like this, Chen Changli thought of the people who had died in vain in Xingyun Town, and he immediately became furious. He kicked Cui Yan and pressed his foot hard on his chest, making him unable to move.

"Uh, cough, cough..."

"Chen Changli, you're going to kill me, why are you here so mad?"

"Cui Yan, I'm going to ask you one last time, what exactly do you want to do? Why is Xingyun Town your target? What secrets does Xingyun Town have?"

Chen Changli roared. This was the first time Cui Yan saw Chen Changli like this. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. Cui Yan's eyes flashed and he sneered.

"Haha, Chen Changli, you will never know."

As he spoke, Cui Yan suddenly vomited blood, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open. The red color dyed the straw in the prison red. Chen Changli let him go, and saw that Cui Yan was dead, his eyes were filled with shock.

Wan Shufang was called over and was also very surprised to see this scene.

"How is this possible? It's not even fifteen days yet. Cui Yan couldn't have died of the poison." Wan Shufang ran forward, took out the silver needle she carried with her from the space, and gave Cui Yan acupuncture.

But the person was already dead, and no matter what method Wan Shufang used, it was of no use.

"He's dead, damn it, the poison shouldn't take effect so quickly."

"Someone, come and perform an autopsy."

Chen Changli called the imperial physician, who assisted Wan Shufang in performing the autopsy. The group of people were busy, and soon they got the result.

"He died of poisoning, without any other fatal injuries." Wan Shufang frowned and looked at Cui Yan's face carefully. She always felt that Cui Yan's face was a little deformed.

Wan Shufang reached out her hand and touched his face, and suddenly touched something. She asked someone to open Cui Yan's mouth, and sure enough, she found something inside.

A strange smell came to her nose, Wan Shufang frowned and covered her mouth and nose.

"It must be the stuff in his mouth that caused it. It seems we were not prepared enough and that group of people took advantage of the opportunity and killed Cui Yan."
