Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 240
That night, Chen Yi stayed at the Xian Cheng's house as scheduled, and lived in the Xian Cheng's room, while the Xian Cheng himself moved into the guest room. Chen Yi was saving himself, and the Xian Cheng naturally knew about it.

To prevent accidents, the county magistrate called several yamen servants to protect Chen Yi at night.

Chen Yi originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of the character of the county magistrate, he felt that this was also in line with the county magistrate's behavior style, otherwise it would arouse suspicion, so he didn't say anything, and just acquiesced.

In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, Chen Yi heard a rustling sound coming from the door, turned around and continued to pretend to be asleep without making a sound.

The door was opened quietly, although the sound was very soft, but in such a quiet situation, Chen Yi could hear it clearly.

The corners of Chen Yi's mouth turned up, this was evidence for himself, and Chen Yi didn't know what to say, it seemed that he was used to being lawless, and he didn't need his brain to do things.

Chen Yi felt that someone was approaching the bed, and the sound of a sharp knife unsheathed could be heard in his ear, so Chen Yi picked it up and kicked it horizontally.

The person who came only remembered a black shadow flashing by, a sharp pain in his body, and then he flew out, with gold stars in front of his eyes, dizzy, and completely unable to move his body.

Before Chen Yi completed the task, his strength was increased, but after repeated experiments, he finally mastered the control.

Chen Yi didn't pull back the kick just now, so he didn't remember anything when he saw the man lying on the ground unable to get up, but the county magistrate and other government officials who came over after hearing the news didn't think so.

Especially the yamen servant who was in charge of protecting Chen Yi was simply astonished, just that light kick?
If it weren't for the yamen servant who came forward to pull him up without receiving any resistance, he wouldn't have believed that Chen Yi was so powerful.

Seeing the bean-sized sweat dripping from the sneak attacker's head, everyone looked at Chen Yi with shocked eyes. Chen Yi had no choice but to touch his nose and explain that he was strong.

The room was soon brightly lit, and the yamen servant stepped forward to remove the black cloth from the face of the man, not the county lieutenant.

Chen Yi never thought that the county lieutenant would come in person. After all, he was just a bodyguard in his eyes, so how could he do it himself.

The county magistrate didn't understand how he could arrange for someone with such weak martial arts to assassinate when he knew that Chen Yi was protecting him.

Chen Yi smiled and explained that when this person came, he drugged the room in advance and was discovered by Chen Yi in advance.

That's why this person was subdued by him so lightly.

During this period, Chen Yi learned a lot of pharmacological knowledge from Fang Xuan. Fang Xuan did not teach him how to cure diseases and save people, but instead taught him some medicines and poisons that could be used when traveling around the world.

Chen Yixue's relish, coupled with his previous intentions, naturally soon discovered the drug in the room.

It has to be said that this killer's skills are very high. He had already sneaked into the county magistrate's mansion in the afternoon, but he didn't get caught. He sneaked into the room and spread drugs on the bed, pillows and top of the bed.

They only come in at night to sneak attack. If you put smoke or aromatherapy like on TV, it is really easy to miss.

This time it was because the county magistrate knew that Chen Yi was going to sleep in his own room, so he naturally had to clean things up and replace them with new ones, especially things like pillows and quilts, how could Chen Yi use his own.

The drug on the top of the bed was discovered by Chen Yi himself. After discovering it, he went to check the confiscated pillows and realized that there would definitely be a sneak attack at night, so they were ready to wait and see.

"My lord, how to solve this?"

The county magistrate followed the assailant, who was still pale, and asked Chen Yi.

"Take off the mouth here and lock him up. You don't need to ask questions, and you probably won't be able to ask him. If you watch him, don't let him die. He is a witness if he is alive, and it will be useful in the future."

The county magistrate nodded, and ordered the people to be taken down, and each went to rest.

The next day, the county lieutenant waited all night, but he was a little impatient when he didn't wait for someone to come back.

This person was hired by himself at a high price, and he said he was absolutely foolproof, but there was no news yet, and the county lieutenant couldn't sit still. When he saw Chen Yi yesterday, he knew that he was no match.

That's why he didn't go by himself. Who knew that it would be unreliable to spend money, so he might as well go by himself.

"My lord, my lord..."

The subordinates came in from the outside, and the county lieutenant immediately stood up.

"What's the matter? Any news? Did you kill him?"

The county lieutenant asked impatiently, and the subordinate who came to report the letter said a little bit expectantly: "My lord, my subordinates went to inquire, but there is no news, it seems that the person disappeared, and the county magistrate has nothing to do, so today Everyone saw it."

"What?! Is nothing wrong?! You didn't succeed in saying that? What about that person? Why did he disappear? He fled in fear of crime?!! Find it for me! He even dared to lie to me of my money, okay, okay."

The county lieutenant was angry and angry, angry that the county magistrate was not dead, and angry that the killer ran away without completing the task.

He didn't doubt that the killer would be caught by the county magistrate. This killer was a master hired at a higher price, and it was impossible for him to miss a county magistrate who was powerless.

He thought of Chen Yi, and guessed that it was because Chen Yi failed to succeed. These killers were not the ones he raised. They would leave if they failed and find another chance. They would not commit suicide and they were not Deadpools.

And the killer didn't come back, what is it if it's not a runaway?
The county lieutenant didn't expect that the county magistrate was more difficult to deal with than he imagined. It seems that he still can't act rashly recently. It's better for them to discuss together when the uncle comes.

Chen Yi and the county magistrate silently collected evidence while guarding against the magistrate, but unfortunately the magistrate did not move at all.

Chen Yi reckoned that the county lieutenant was really waiting for the people from the Ministry of Punishment, and it happened that he was also waiting, so Chen Yi could do other things with peace of mind. After all, his main task was to assist the soldiers on the western border with their salaries.

In the past few days, he has also received a reply from General Zhang, saying that the Liannu and military pay he had prepared before were relatively sufficient.

They have not let Xuan Luoguo succeed these few times. Overall, they are evenly divided and sometimes even better. General Zhang also said that Chen Yi should deal with things first, and the military salary is enough for the time being.

Earlier, because Chen Yi had agreed to the county magistrate, he immediately sent some of the people to the western border with the herbs and weapons he bought now, and wrote a letter explaining the current situation.

Chen Yi didn't know how to lead troops in battle, so he could only provide logistical support for the soldiers.

This time, the leaders who came with Chen Yi to escort them were not members of the imperial army, but the empress gave him. Chen Yi didn't know if these people were the secret weapons in the hands of the empress.

But these people are all good players, their martial arts are not weak, and their names are also given according to numbers.

Those who followed were Tang Si, Tang Wu, and Tang Ba.
