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

Chapter 214 is a bit weird

With the sound of "bang", Xu Beiting took several steps back from the beating, covered his shoulders to stand still, and raised his eyes to look at the person coming.

I saw Shen Lanze guarding in front of Lu Nanzhi, staring at Xu Beiting fiercely.

"Stay away from Nanzhi in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"

There was a trace of clarity in Xu Beiting's eyes. He was too impulsive just now, looking at Lu Nanzhi's lips squirming a few times, wanting to say something, and finally closing them, turning around and stumbling away.

Seeing the person leaving, Shen Lanze turned around and looked at the pale person behind him and asked, "Are you okay?"

Lu Nanzhi came back to his senses and shook his head, his handsome eyebrows were frowned.She couldn't figure out why Xu Beiting suddenly seemed to be a different person just now, and from his tone, it seemed that something happened at home.

And all these changes seemed to be related to her, thinking of this, she couldn't help lowering her eyes.

Sensing that she was wrong, Shen Lanze immediately asked, "Did Xu Beiting tell you something?"

Lu Nanzhi looked at the concerned person in front of him, pursed his lips and said, "I think something might have happened to Xu Beiting's family."

"I'll go check it out." Shen Lanze glanced at the person who stumbled away, and helped Lu Nanzhi back to the courtyard.

Lu Nanzhi recalled that Shen Lanze had been busy all the time, and he had never come back so early these days, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Why did you come back so early today? Is the case already underway?"

"There is progress. The dead waiter once sent a letter to Prime Minister Luo. He belongs to Prime Minister Luo."

Shen Lanze didn't expect things to be like this, but he didn't understand why Prime Minister Luo wanted to put the waiter in Chunfenglou.

Could it be that he wanted to monitor him, but this idea was quickly denied by him.

Lu Nanzhi also fell silent. He always thought that Xiao Er had no relatives and no reason, but he did not expect that he was Prime Minister Luo's eyeliner.

Suddenly she seemed to think of something, narrowed her eyes slightly, and grabbed Shen Lanze's wrist.

"I remembered that the waiter in the shop seemed to have an abnormal behavior that day. He once told me that it was his birthday. He also said that he never celebrated his birthday and was alone every year."

Shen Lanze's face changed drastically when he heard that, and his voice raised a lot, "Has he told you anything else, such as if he has hidden anything somewhere?"

Lu Nanzhi recalled carefully again, the waiter in the shop really said this sentence that day.

I thought he was just talking casually, and didn't take it to heart at the time.Now it seems that things are not so simple, could it be that...

"The last thing he said seemed to be that he would go to a place for every birthday, but I was busy cooking at the time, so I didn't hear where he was talking about."

"Think again!"

This is of great help in solving the case, and he suspects that there must be something in the second-hand store, which is why he was killed.

And this thing must have been entrusted to him by Prime Minister Luo, and asked him to entrust it to someone.

Lu Nanzhi thought about it carefully, and said, "I really don't remember where he said, but he mentioned a remote village called Qingshi Village."

"I also heard that the villagers there rely on planting medicinal materials for a living. Usually, the village is always overcrowded, and the village chief does not allow any outsiders to walk around in the village. It is said that there is a temple in the village that enshrines gods."

"God?" Shen Lanze repeated the two words, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.

"Yes, that temple is called 'Xiangu Temple' by the villagers. It is said that the fairy aunt in the temple is very spiritual and can help people fulfill their wishes. It is a very efficacious temple, and the shop assistant often goes to worship."

"I see," Shen Lanze interrupted Lu Nanzhi suddenly, turned around and walked out of the store, walking in a hurry.

Seeing this, Lu Nanzhi hurriedly followed.

"Where are you going?"

Shen Lanze pursed her thin lips tightly, and after thinking for a moment, said: "Since he said it, it must be true. Let's report it to His Highness the Fifth Highness first, and then go check the temple to see if there is anything useful."

"I don't think it's appropriate. This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run."

Lu Nanzhi felt that this inference was too arbitrary. After all, these things were not accurate based on the dictation of the waiter. What if they made a mistake?
"We don't have so much time left, we have to find things as soon as possible, and those people are also looking for them." Shen Lanze said solemnly.

"Why are you so sure that there is something in the second-hand store?" Lu Nanzhi didn't understand why he was so sure.

"After the boy was arrested, I went to Chunfeng Building. The things in the second room of the shop were flipped. I should be looking for something."

Lu Nanzhi was very surprised when he heard the news, and then he looked puzzled and said: "So, the shop boy may be from Qingshi Village? Then why did he become Prime Minister Luo's eyeliner? How did he escape from the village?"

"Perhaps something happened to his family, which forced him to leave Qingshi Village and come here, and was taken in by Prime Minister Luo, but we still need to investigate what happened."

Lu Nanzhi was right when he thought about it. Qingshi Village was far away from here, but something happened that made him have to leave the village.

Shen Lanze told the fifth prince the news, the two discussed it and decided to go find out.

Shen Lanze rode at the forefront on a steed, followed closely by Deadpool.

The surrounding area is desolate, with only a few sparse weeds.

Suddenly, Shen Lanze reined in the reins and stopped. Seeing this, Deadpool quickly reined in his horse and asked at the same time, "What's wrong, my lord?"

Shen Lanze pointed to the two trees with crooked necks beside him and said, "Look! This should be the location drawn on the map."

Hearing the words, Deadpool immediately turned over and jumped off his horse, and came to the two crooked neck trees for a closer look, and found that there were writings engraved on them.

"Son..."

Shen Lanze also got off his horse and took out the map and put it on the ground. He really saw the words "Qingshi Village" engraved on the crooked tree.

"It's deserted and uninhabited, it doesn't look like a village at all." Shen Lanze said doubtfully.

Deadpool frowned slightly: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, and my subordinates have inquired about Qingshi Village. No one has ever heard of this village?"

"Could it be that Miss Lu heard it wrong? Or is that village not here at all?"

Shen Lanze shook her head. She believed that Lu Nanzhi would not mishear, and the waiter would not name the village for no reason. She must have known that she was under surveillance soon, so she wanted to leave some clues.

But where is this Qingshi Village, why can't they find it?
The sky gradually dimmed, and Shen Lanze leaned on the big tree and looked up at the starry sky.

"What the hell went wrong."

Shen Lanze felt irritated for a while, remembering what the emperor had said, sighed and closed his eyes.

He must find the murderer and the truth as soon as possible, only in this way can Lu Nanzhi's safety be guaranteed.

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps, Shen Lanze suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at Deadpool.

How could anyone come to such a remote place?Unless someone also knows about Qingshi Village!
