Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 174 Killed
Shen Lanze raised her eyes and glanced at the person opposite, "Take good care of your lady, and don't let her get into someone else's carriage, lest she be sold without knowing."

After finishing speaking, Shen Lanze took Deadpool and followed the man on horseback to leave.

Lu Nanzhi put down the teacup, pointed at the leaving back and asked, "What did he mean by what he said just now? Did he say I was stupid?"

Being sold by others and counting the money for others?This doesn't sound like a good word.

Wushuang didn't dare to answer, she could only pretend to be confused and shook her head.

After Lu Nanzhi entered the city, she saw a few gangsters molesting the woman just now, so she walked over angrily and beat the gangsters away.

She lifted the trembling woman in the corner and asked, "Are you okay?"

The woman shook her head obediently, "Thank you for saving me."

Lu Nanzhi frowned and said, "Don't you have a home?"

The woman's face was pale and her body was trembling, "Yes."

"Both my parents have died since I was a child, and I have been doing art with my adoptive father for a living. A few days ago, I was forced to marry by that man, and my adoptive father was beaten and injured by him and died. He also forced me to sell myself to him in the Goulan Courtyard Bet, if I don't agree, hit me." The woman began to cry while pinching her cuffs.

"Only trash will let a woman sell herself to make money for him, what a bastard!" Lu Nanzhi gritted his teeth.

Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly grabbed her sleeve and begged: "Girl, please take me in, I really have nowhere to go."

Lu Nanzhi was a little soft-hearted, but his current status was not convenient for taking her in.

Wushuang also reminded in a low voice: "Miss, don't forget the purpose of our coming out this time. It might be inconvenient if we bring another person with us."

Thinking of this problem, Lu Nanzhi wanted to get her some money, but felt that a woman with so much money would be missed by others.

After thinking about it, she came up with a good idea, and then helped the woman up and said, "It's really inconvenient for me to keep you by my side, but I can let you support yourself, so that you don't have to rely on anyone to live in the future."

The woman looked at her in surprise, "Can I really?"

"As long as you want, of course you can." Lu Nanzhi said firmly.

"Find a place to settle down first, and discuss the follow-up."

Lu Nanzhi decided to find an inn to live in first, and then talk to her about the following things in detail.

The woman was very familiar with Jingzhou, and brought them to an inn, which was very popular. When the shopkeeper saw a few people coming, he narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "Are you staying in the inn or eating?" ?”

"We want three rooms." Lu Nanzhi took out the money and put it on the counter.

Seeing Yin Zi's eyes shining, the shopkeeper immediately called the shop waiter and asked him to take a few distinguished guests to the second floor wing.

Lu Nanzhi and Wushuang's wing were close together, and the woman's wing was the first one around the corner.

After finding a place to live, Lu Nanzhi ordered some food and asked for it to be delivered to the room.

When the waiter delivered the food, Lu Nanzhi was chatting with the woman.

"What's your name?"

"The little girl's surname is Zhang, and her single name is the word Qiu."

"Can Miss Zhang know how to make pasta?" Lu Nanzhi asked.

Hearing her ask these questions, Zhang Qiu nodded, "I know a little bit."

"That's easy."

Lu Nanzhi planned to open a food stall for her, which would not only cost a lot of money, but also allow her to live on her own.
In the future, I will teach her some recipes for making gourmet food, and the business will definitely boom.

The two talked until it was dark, Zhang Qiu leaned over and left, and Lu Nanzhi lay down on the bed and fell asleep after being tired all day.

In the dark night sky, the leaves of the trees are rustling by the wind, and the moon shines on the earth, giving off a soft silver light.

In a house, Shen Lanze was discussing things with Jun Moyu, when the guards outside the door suddenly came to report to the capital, and found a man who had been murdered in an extremely miserable state.

"Go and have a look."

Jun Moyu came to the scene of the crime, surrounded by soldiers holding torches.

The blood from the corpse flowed down the cracks in the bluestone bricks, which was shocking.

"Report to His Royal Highness, we found this corpse when we were patrolling just now."

Shen Lanze stepped forward to check it carefully, "He has been dead for a while, his body..."

After taking the torch from the soldier, he took a closer look and found a line of words engraved on the man's body.

"Decree of the holy religion, death without body."

"It's the Holy Cult again?" After Jun Moyu finished speaking, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked somewhere.

"Huh?" Shen Lanze turned around and asked.

"There seems to be movement there."

Everyone followed the prestige, and they found a black shadow approaching quietly in the corner.

"Be careful……"

With a warning, everyone immediately became alert, took out their weapons, and shot at the shadow.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The sound of sharp arrows piercing across the sky, the black shadow was shot and injured and fell, clutching his wound and running away.

Seeing this, Shen Lanze and others immediately followed, and a group of people chased to the door of the inn.

The black shadow disappeared, looking at the inn that was not yet closed, Jun Moyu coldly ordered: "Go in and search!"

Master Han Feng walked into the shop first, and the waiter who was dozing off suddenly woke up, seeing the person in front of him swallowing nervously.

"You are staying in a hotel..."

Han Feng directly took out his waist badge and said coldly: "The government is handling the case and wants to search your inn."

When the waiter heard that he wanted to search the inn, he immediately stammered: "I-I'm afraid there is something wrong with this? The guests have already slept."

"You mean if the murderer escapes, you can take the responsibility?"

Han Feng's snarky shop assistant had nothing to say, and could only watch them go in and search.

The sleeping guests were all woken up, cursing and swearing, but they didn't dare to say anything when they saw the guards with weapons.

Shen Lanze also followed to the second floor, watching the guards come out shaking their heads one by one.

Wushuang heard the sound outside, quickly opened the door, saw the situation outside, immediately went to the next room and knocked on the door.

Her voice disturbed the guards who were searching, and they walked over and grabbed her shoulders and said, "Which guest room are you from?"

Shen Lanze also noticed Wushuang, put down his hands around his chest, walked over with a frown, and asked, "Why are you here, where is your miss?"

Lu Nanzhi opened the door, rubbed his unopened eyes, and gasped, "What's the matter, Wushuang?"

Wushuang didn't speak, but couldn't help shivering as she looked at the people around her who were releasing air-conditioning.

Nan Zhi felt the strong gaze, and saw the familiar face through the white gauze of the bamboo hat, and instantly lost all sleepiness.

"You, why are you here? Are you following me?"

"I should ask you this, why are you here?" Shen Lanze couldn't help trembling when he thought that there might still be a murderer living in this inn.

Lu Nanzhi leaned against the door, and snorted coldly: "Where I live seems to have nothing to do with you? Could it be that you... like me?"

Lu Nanzhi suddenly leaned forward, met those clear eyes, and the corners of his mouth under the bamboo hat unconsciously curled up.
