Chapter 487 Unexpected Disaster

Chapter 487 Unexpected Disaster
Zhalanpo, the longest slope dozens of miles away from Dazhi City, is actually also a horizontal mountain range, but it is covered with the growth of heart-wrapped grass, making it look like a slope.

The road of dozens of miles is not always smooth, not to mention the huge load, but the pony can still pull the horse at a fast pace and can go straight up even the long slope.

The two trucks loaded with spiritual rice climbed to the top of the slope and stopped. Huang Yingying also stood up on the pile of rice bags and looked around, only to find that the surroundings were empty and there was no one in sight.

"Fang Zi, where is the person? Are you sure you want to send him here?" Huang Yingying shouted.

A guy standing on another car and looking around said, "That's right, there can't be another place called Zhalanpo, right?"

He suddenly pointed to the road on the other side of the slope and shouted, "I wonder if that's it."

A few people looked and saw a car speeding on the road.

Huang Yingying stroked her mustache and muttered, "It's not convenient to load them all in one car."

Having said that, I still waited patiently.

However, after the car rushed up the hill, the people in the car glanced at them a few times and did not stop, and rushed down the hill again, heading towards the direction of Dazhi City.

"Hey, what's going on? Do you really want us to wait until dark?" Huang Yingying cursed for a while. The sandalwood in his pocket was restless. Those beautifully dressed girls were waiting for him.

However, just after the carriage they had just encountered ran away, there was a sudden movement in the grass-covered forests on both sides. At first, the people in the rice shop thought that the person who was going to receive the goods had arrived, but they did not expect that a group of masked men in black appeared on both sides, with five people on each side surrounding and rushing towards them.

Huang Yingying was shocked. His first reaction was not to resist, but to run away immediately, diving towards the ground like a diver.

The ground facing him was indeed like the surface of water. He broke through the ground with ease and almost no sound. It turned out that he could burrow underground.

But the people rushing towards him from both sides seemed to know him well. Two chains and shackles flew over from both sides almost at the same time. With two consecutive clicks, they locked his two ankles which were about to sink into the ground, but his feet also pulled the two chains into the ground.

After the two men in black who were pulling the chain landed on the ground, they jumped up at the same time and pulled the chain hard.

Bang! With a loud noise, the earth and rocks collapsed, and two iron chains pulled Huang Yingying out from the underground.

Before Huang Yingying could react, four more chains flew over and locked his neck, waist, and wrists.

"Who is it?" Huang Yingying screamed in fear as she struggled in the air.

No one paid any attention. After landing, several men in black flew up again one after another, grabbed the chain and dragged him into the grass forest on the side.

The other three guys were powerless to resist these masked men and almost all of them fell in a pool of blood the first time they encountered them.

They are just ordinary people working as errand boys in the shop. How can they be stopped with just a little bit of physical fitness?

After committing the crime, the masked man did not do anything to destroy the body, but instead followed his accomplice and quickly disappeared into the mountains.

Lao Changtai, who was hiding in the mountains, was frightened after seeing this scene. He was glad that he was cautious, otherwise he would have been discovered by the masked man who had been lurking in the mountains.

This caution was actually based on suspicion of Huang Yingying. After discovering that Huang Yingying and her gang had stopped, he did not dare to approach easily, but he did not expect to witness such a change.

Seeing that the murderer did not destroy the bodies, he realized that the murderer would not leave any other traces and would probably flee far away. Once these people escaped, it would be impossible to find out who the murderer was. Although he didn't know why someone would do such a thing to a poor man, he still made a prompt decision and quickly followed the direction the murderer fled.

If anything changes, he is not too worried about escaping because he has the magic weapon Wind Scale in his hand.

In addition, having experienced some big scenes with Shi Chun and the others, he was able to face these minor incidents calmly.

To be on the safe side, he took out the mother-child talisman and quickly sent an urgent message to Shi Chun.

The Dazhicheng city in the evening was beautiful bathed in the glow of sunset. The guests in the library were leaving one after another, and Shi Chun was collecting the books scattered on the table.

As usual, they were piled up and carried upstairs.

Dong Liangyu on the second floor has replaced her younger brother. Although her younger brother asked her to take a rest today, wanting to give her time to communicate more with her future brother-in-law, Dong Liangyu rejected his kindness and, as usual, put the books back to their places one by one.

What was different from usual was that this time Shi Chun did not go over to help her hold the book. He just put the book down and turned away.

Dong Liangyu, who was walking slowly behind the rows of bookshelves, saw it, stopped, held a book in his hand, and then put it down. He fell into silence, wondering if it was because he knew about his marriage to Fan Wuzhe.

Little did she know that she was overthinking it. No matter who she married, Shi Chun would not have any idea about it. Shi Chun just felt that someone was messaging him and was anxious to rush to the corner of the stairs to check the message.

What else could he do? He couldn't show off in front of others that he was using the Mother-Child Talisman. It was not something a chorman could afford.

After seeing the news from Lao Changtai, Shi Chunyi began to feel suspicious. Who would make such a fuss about someone like Huang Yingying?
His thoughts almost immediately turned to Wu Jinliang. Wu Jinliang was probably the only one among them who knew Huang Yingying best.

Huang Yingying went out of the city specifically to meet Wu Jinliang and then returned to the city. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now that Huang Yingying is in trouble, the fact that she ran so far just to take a walk back and forth immediately caught his attention and made him reflect.

So he took out the mother-and-child talisman that he used to contact Wu Jinliang, observed his surroundings first, listened to the noises upstairs and downstairs, and then quickly sent a message to Wu Jinliang to inquire: What does Huang Yingying want to do with you?
Outside the city, at the horse farm as the sun was setting, Wu Jinliang had just rounded up a group of fine foals into the stable and locked the gate. He was about to wash them thoroughly and then go to the city to find Shi Chun to see if that cousin was as handsome as he was.

Suddenly he felt the message, looked around, and went between two piles of hay, took out the mother-child talisman, and was stunned when he saw the content of the message. He then confirmed the code on the message, and it should be a message from Shi Chun. How did Chun Tian know that Huang Yingying had found him?
He didn't think Shi Chun was intentionally monitoring him, because there was no need.

He had wanted to discuss this matter when they met, but Chuntian had specifically asked about it. There must be a reason. He immediately briefly conveyed what Huang Yingying had said.

Shi Chun, who was standing at the corner of the stairs in the library, raised his eyebrows slightly. He immediately guessed what the problem was and even guessed who the possible murderer was.

He couldn't help but curse Huang Yingying's ancestors in his heart, and found that this old man was really full and had nothing to do, so he was just looking for trouble.

He didn't want the other party's kindness. Why did he want this broken news? Because he didn't care who Dong Liangyu married, nor did he care whether the library would be taken away by someone. He didn't care whether his cousins ​​were good people or had other intentions. They were not his family members, nor were they his property. He was a hired worker with very low wages, so he didn't need to worry about that.

If he loses the job in the east, he can still find a job in the west. There is no need to hang on to this tree.

Now that Old Man Huang had done this, things were a bit troublesome. As a man who had done many kidnappings, he knew at a glance that the murderer wanted to silence him. Once they pried open Old Man Huang's mouth and knew that Old Man Huang had told Wu Jinliang the secret, those people would definitely take action against Wu Jinliang.

He may not care about the lives of people in the library, but he cannot ignore Wu Jinliang's safety.

He had been lying dormant for a long time, but was inexplicably involved in this mess. He could not help but curse inwardly.

But he did not rush to reply to Wu Jinliang's message. Instead, he sent a message to Lao Changtai first, asking: How strong are those people?

Lao Changtai replied: It’s not clear, but the body was not destroyed at the scene and the two carts of spiritual rice were not moved, so it should be that he was someone who couldn’t afford the Qiankun bag.

After hearing this, Shi Chun had a rough idea in his mind and estimated that there was no need for him to take action himself, so he replied immediately: You just need to follow, don't move rashly, and don't expose yourself. I will let Jinliang handle it, and he will contact you.

Lao Changtai replied: I understand.

Shi Chun immediately replied to Wu Jinliang: Huang Yingying was ambushed and captured at Zhalanpo. It should be related to what you said. It is possible that the tax inspector wanted to silence her. They were able to silence her instead of killing her on the spot. The other party should not have grasped the scope of the news. Lao Changtai is tracking the murderer. You should rush to deal with it as quickly as possible. The things that Huang Yingying revealed to you must not be known to the tax inspector.

Wu Jinliang couldn't help but grit his teeth after seeing this. He didn't expect such a bad thing to happen. It was a pity that Old Huang was still so confident and proud. He didn't even know that he was exposed and still ran here. Isn't this cheating?
As a result, he now has to be extremely alert and vigilant, fearing that he might be ambushed.

He also knew the seriousness of what Shi Chun said. Once it was exposed, the time and energy spent here might be wasted, and he might even get into trouble. He immediately replied: I understand, I will take care of it.

After receiving the mother-and-child talisman, he quickly took out another mother-and-child talisman and contacted Lao Changtai directly.

After confirming the location, he quickly went to the horse farm, informed the manager of his whereabouts, and said that he wanted to go into the city for a stroll.

After leaving the horse farm, he quickly fled into the vast forest covered with sedge.

After running a long distance, it suddenly broke through the grass on its wind scales and flew rapidly over the vast grassland.

Lao Changtai was following someone and it was impossible for him to stop and wait for him. He could only point to a landmark location and then start leaving marks along the way.

Wu Jinliang rushed to the landmark, collected the wind scale, found the road sign, and quietly followed it. Now was not the time to alert the enemy, for fear that Huang Yingying would be killed.

It's not that he wants to save Huang Yingying, but even if he wants to silence Huang Yingying, he has to do it himself. He has to find out whether Huang Yingying has exposed him first...

"Has Old Huang not come back yet?"

Bai Qiru, who was smoking a cigarette behind the counter in the rice shop warehouse, asked the clerk who came in to deliver something.

The waiter replied: "Madam, not yet."

Bai Qiru hummed, stood up and walked around the table, bent her elbows and held the pipe to her lips, and walked to the outer hall with her graceful figure twisting her waist. She walked slowly to the front door and looked at the sunset that was already dimming in the sky.

It was getting dark and he hadn't come back yet, which made her feel something was not normal.

In terms of time, a heavy vehicle must be careful along the way, while an empty vehicle should return quickly. After all, no one wants to wait until dark to travel at night. Normally, one must speed up and get back before dark, even if it is slower.

No matter how fun Lao Huang is, those guys won't go along with him. At least the guys should come back.

Think again about the large order of one thousand bags of spiritual rice delivered to the Zhalanpo intersection. Now that I think about it, this delivery location does seem a bit odd.

After taking two puffs of her cigarette, she turned around and asked, "Do you know the person who placed the order for one thousand bags of spiritual rice?"

The waiter behind said, "You're a stranger. I've never seen you before. But you paid quite quickly."

Bai Qiru said calmly: "In this city, there are big customers that you don't know. Didn't you bargain?"

The guy behind said, "No, let us take the trouble to deliver it to the designated location."

Bai Qiru narrowed his eyes and looked at the setting sun, puffing out smoke and saying faintly: "Go, two people, hurry to Zhalanpo as quickly as possible to take a look."
