Ning Chen discussed the details of the cooperation with King Duan and left with two hundred thousand taels of silver notes. It’s well worth the trip! The first reason why I wanted to cooperate with King Duan is that this person is relatively trustworthy. Secondly, Xiuzhou is King Duan's territory. Leave the business matters to him and he can enjoy the benefits. Third, Prince Duan can be tied to his own boat. Back at the inn, everyone rested for the night. That night, Ning Chen, Zi Su, and Yu Die slept separately. Because I have to pay homage to Yan Wenbo tomorrow. The next morning. Ning Chen sent someone to buy incense, candles and other things for worship.
Yan Bowen was originally sentenced to be executed. At that time, Zisu was taken away from Xiuzhou by Shanglu, so no one collected the corpses, and the corpses were all dumped in mass graves. Without a tombstone, the body might have been eaten by wild animals. The group arrived at the mass grave. Since there was no tombstone, we could only find an open space to worship. "Dad, our Yan family was wronged, and now we have been vindicated... You can rest in peace under Jiuquan!" Zi Su cried so hard that her heart was broken. She has been running for more than ten years for this day. Ning Chen knelt on the ground, "Master Yan, my name is Ning Chen. Although you and I have never met, we are closely connected because of Zisu... Don't worry, I will protect Zisu for the rest of my life and keep her safe and happy. " ....... When we returned to the city, it was already afternoon. Zisu's eyes were red and swollen and she was depressed. After returning to the inn, he fell into a deep sleep. Ning Chen and Yu Die have been accompanying her. When Zi Su woke up, it was already night. Ning Chen asked someone to prepare some food, and Zi Su reluctantly took a few bites. "Shall I find a date to erect a monument for Master Yan?" Zi Su shook her head slightly, "What's the point of an empty tomb?" Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "Then when we return to the capital, I will help Master Yan set up a memorial tablet for you to worship every day." Zi Su nodded slightly.
Early the next morning, everyone set off for Qinghe County. Yudie's father was beheaded, the men in the family were exiled, and the women were sent to the Jiaofangsi. Ning Chen asked Geng Jing to investigate a long time ago to see if any of Yudie's family members were still alive. But there is no news yet. The situation of Yudie and Zisu is similar. After Liu Zhichen was beheaded, no one collected his body. I don’t know where the body went? Therefore, we can only find an open space to worship at the boundary of Qingquan County. ....... Ning Chen stayed in Xiuzhou for a few days. Because after the worship, Zisu and Yudie were in a very low mood. After the two of them feel better, Ning Chen plans to go to the Ghost Shadow Sect. He asked Gu Yichun and others to take Xiao Xing back to the capital. He took Feng Qizheng, Zisu and Yudie to the Ghost Shadow Gate. Because the Ghost Shadow Sect is a killer organization, the headquarters should not be known to too many people. That day, at dawn, Ning Chen and others quietly left Xiuzhou. Along the way, people from the Ghost Shadow Sect led by Xie Siyu were secretly protecting him, so there was no need to worry about safety. At the same time, Xie Siyu will cut off the tail that follows Ning Chen and erase all traces. Seven or eight days passed in a flash. Capital City, Imperial Palace Study Room. Emperor Xuan was reading the memorial when Quan's father-in-law walked in from outside with small steps. "Your Majesty, we just received a message that Mr. Ning is missing." Emperor Xuan's expression suddenly changed, and he frowned: "Missing? What do you mean missing?" Eunuch Quan bowed his head and said: "The shadow guards came back with news that Young Master Ning quietly left Xiuzhou... and completely lost his trace after leaving Xiuzhou City." Emperor Xuan was shocked, "How could so many people disappear without a trace?" Quan Gong said fairly: "Master Ning asked his entourage to return to the capital... He only took Feng Qizheng and the two women with him." Emperor Xuan's heart suddenly became anxious, "Could something happen?" "It's just nonsense. He went to Xiuzhou and encountered four assassinations along the way... He transferred all the guards around him. What did he think?"
Eunuch Quan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Mr. Ning must have deliberately erased his whereabouts." "Deliberately?" "Your Majesty, Mr. Ning disappeared without a trace as soon as he left Xiuzhou City. All traces were erased. This shows that someone is secretly helping him." Emperor Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that the person is fine...but why did he erase the traces?" "This...slave doesn't know!" Emperor Xuan frowned and felt a little depressed, "Quan Sheng, do you think Ning Chen blames me for not being able to protect him in the court, and disappears, never to appear again?" Father-in-law Quan didn't know how to answer for a moment? Emperor Xuan was silent for a while and said: "Send more manpower to find Ning Chen for me." "Yes, I'll do it now, slave!" At the same time, in a secret room. An old man over fifty years old and a plump young man in rich clothes sat across from each other. "Missing?" The voice of the fat young man was slightly sharp. The old man who was over fifty years old nodded slightly and said, "Ning Chen quietly left Xiuzhou City and disappeared without a trace after leaving the city." The fat young man said hurriedly: "Could he be dead?" The old man who was over fifty years old shook his head, "No! Someone deliberately erased Ning Chen's traces." "who?" "Ghost Shadow Gate." The fat young man was startled, "The biggest killer organization in the world?" "yes!" "Why would they help Ning Chen?" The old man who was over fifty years old shook his head and said: "It's not clear yet." The fat young man was silent for a while and said: "Since he is a killer, he is naturally doing it for profit... I guess Ning Chen should have paid a lot of money." The old man who was over fifty years old shook his head, "I don't think it's like that... all the people we sent to assassinate Ning Chen failed, and no one survived." "Furthermore, the Ghost Shadow Sect has begun to attack Dark Moon Tower... If Ningchen and the Ghost Shadow Sect only deal with money, they will not be so dedicated." "I suspect that Ning Chen has some kind of unknown close relationship with the Ghost Shadow Sect?" The fat young man frowned and took the snacks away from his mouth several times, which showed that he was in a bad mood. "How does the strength of Dark Moon Tower compare to that of Ghost Shadow Sect?"
The old man who was over fifty years old said in a deep voice: "It's quite different...Now that the Dark Moon Tower is being targeted by the Ghost Shadow Sect, the people in the Dark Moon Tower can no longer move. If they take action, they will die." "One more thing. There is a group of people secretly protecting Ning Chen... These people are all highly skilled and ruthless." The fat young man was startled, "Who is it?" "I don't know, I can't find out my identity!" The fat young man's eyes were fierce, "It seems that we still underestimated Ning Chen. His influence is not only in the court and the army... I didn't expect that he also has influence in the world." "Ghost Shadow Sect? To put it bluntly, it's just a gangster force... If it dares to go against us, destroy it." The old man who was over fifty years old smiled bitterly and said: "The people from the Ghost Shadow Sect are so elusive that no one knows where their stronghold is? It's very difficult to eradicate them." The fat young man sneered, "Let the Supervision Department handle it." The old man who was over fifty years old had a look of astonishment on his face, "How can we command the Supervision Department? Besides, the Supervision Department may not be able to find where the Ghost Shadow Gate is?" The fat young man had a sinister smile on his face, "Then you underestimate the Supervision Department... The reason why the Supervision Department doesn't move the Ghost Shadow Sect is because of a gangster force, and they don't take it seriously." "If someone from the Ghost Shadow Sect assassinates an important member of the imperial court, His Majesty will be furious, and the Supervision Department will have to take it seriously." The eyes of the old man who was over fifty years old flickered slightly, "You mean... to frame someone as a frame-up?"
