Chapter 489 The culprit
Chen Ziyan knew what Li Wu was thinking, so he just used some means to find out what Lin Zhong was hiding.
He also believes that Li Wu can do it. Although this opportunity belongs to the government, how can the world distinguish between black and white? Given his position, there must be no shortage of people under his command who are proficient in torture.
If Lin Zhongzhi was really handed over to the other party, he would definitely be able to ask about everything, but Chen Ziyan felt that there were some things that could be done and some things that could not be done.
He obtained the bronze bell and part of the information from Lin Zhongzhong in a transaction. No one can 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 that Wu Laogou also sided with Chen Ziyan, 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 it is not appropriate for Mr. Chen to pay this money, but I don't dare to embarrass this man. Little brother.”
Although everyone knew some things well, as long as they were not completely put on the table, it was nothing, so Li Wu easily covered up the matter.
Chen Ziyan smiled and nodded, and said with dignity: "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 are here. There were smiles everywhere, but Lin Zhongzhi, who was the core of the topic, couldn't help but tremble.
How come he still can't hear that the conversation between these three people is related to his destiny.
It also made him fully understand how naive his previous ideas 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 Zhongzhi with a half-smile, Chen Ziyan said: "You two, it's getting late, we should go take care of those nephews."
Chen Ziyan knew Lin Zhongzhi. He also hid some things that he didn't say, and he also knew that most of the things he hid were related to his daughter, which was the fundamental reason why he didn't press for more questions.
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 why Lin Zhongzhi is allowed to hide it.
Li Wu and Wu Laogou naturally would not refuse Chen Ziyan's proposal.
If it weren't for Lin Zhongzhong and his daughter, they would have taken 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, when things here come to an end, I will send you home safely.”
Before leaving the house, Chen Ziyan said to Lin Zhongzhong.
He had no other purpose than to protect the father and daughter.
Chen Ziyan can probably guess that if the two of them can reach around the camp, they must be able to avoid nephew Li, but now they have to face more dangers than that.
It would be okay if they stayed with Chen Ziyan, 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 this guy Li Wu. He is not a kind character, and it is inevitable that he will not go behind their backs to put Lin Zhongzhong and Xun Xi into trouble. The father and daughter were secretly arrested.
"Okay." Lin Zhongzhi nodded quickly.
He is not a fool. It is still hard to tell that 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: "Now there are two ways. One is to use the corpse of the nephew to wait for the rabbit. The nephew not only holds grudges but is also united. They will definitely not let go of the corpse of their companion. It has always been in our hands. Another way is to take the initiative. We have brought many dogs and we have the corpse of the nephew in our hands, so they can track it based on the smell."
Wu Laogou nodded. , said: "At present, these two methods are indeed the only ones 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 Li was captured, but the disadvantage was that the timing was uncertain, because the initiative was all on Nephew Li's side.
The second method is to take the initiative, but if you want to rely on scent to chase, you must let the dogs under your hands go, which will definitely cause casualties.
Li Wu immediately said: "Two gentlemen, we can't afford to wait, so I'd better choose the second option."
Now the camp is almost full of dogs. See, those nephews can’t even get in?
From the previous confrontation, 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 very directly: "Manager Li, it is 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 must 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 Gou 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 he suddenly stopped when he was about to speak, 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 party would not let him control it. That kind of person.
"Master Chen, what do you think we should do?" Li Wu asked with a sad face after thinking for a while. 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, and I am not the kind of person who makes trouble unreasonably. Mr. Li, do you think this is good or not? I don't know what the so-called standards are. As long as I can successfully complete the task, how about giving me one of your bureau’s magical artifacts?”
After hearing Chen Ziyan’s words, Wu Laogou secretly gave him a thumbs up. , this young man is really amazing, this is like a lion opening its mouth.
Those magical artifacts from the Folklore Affairs Administration are coveted by everyone on the street, but you can tell how strict the other party's management is since they have never been circulated.
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 require it to be very powerful, 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 one of those magical artifacts.
He has always been interested in the artifacts in the Bureau, mainly because he wanted to know whether those things were the treasures he knew.
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 outrageous that almost everyone has one.
It is difficult for him to understand that it is only a provincial branch, and it is not a big province, but it can 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... Mr. Chen, this is really not good."
"No, this can work."
"This..."
"In a word, if you agree, then I will let the dogs out now and try to solve the problem before dark Nephew Li, if you don't agree, then let's start studying what trap to use."
Faced with Chen Ziyan's words, Li Wu's expression changed several times, and finally he said with great reluctance: " Okay."
Then he lowered his voice: "Master Chen, I have one that is incomplete and can no longer be used. It can only be regarded as a special material. You can use this as a 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 He nodded, indicating that he would not tell anyone.
He is basically watching the show now. From the moment Li Wu agreed to the deal, it already meant that he would have nothing to do with the hunt for his nephew.
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's a borderline operation.
"You two, wait a moment, I will start making arrangements now." Neither Chen Ziyan, Moji's man, 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 Zhongzhi over, and he was whispering something to his daughter.
Chen Ziyan didn't care about this, and said to Yingzi when he entered the door: "Yingzi, you can let the dogs go around the camp for a few times later, um... just a group of five."
< br>
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, nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Chen, I will 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 whispered: "I just concealed one thing, that is, Xixi can control the tomb-guarding beast with the bronze bell, which is what you call Nephew. "
"The tomb-guarding beast you are talking about is Nephew? Can you confirm it?" Chen Ziyan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.
"I am sure. I have read the Classic 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?"
"Yes."
"I have brought Xixi here several times recently, and the last time I woke him up here Nephew, but we were frightened at the time and ran back without thinking too much. We came here just to see if Nephew would take us to the tomb. "
After hearing what Lin Zhongzhi said. , 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.
