LOGIN“Ah, we’re all grateful to you, young master.” Tian Sen couldn’t accept their thanks; it was clear they were just using him as bait. He already knew that the person they were actually targeting was the city ruler, and the man he had killed was also connected to the city ruler. Moreover, there was a possibility that the city ruler was still a member of the royal family, since they would need a strong reason to arrest him. The man explained that there was a possibility the city ruler wanted to arrest Tian Sen; all Tian Sen had to do was let himself be captured by them. Hearing this, Tian Sen immediately felt a surge of anger—not fight back? Not putting up a fight wasn’t Tian Sen’s style; how could he lose to such weaklings? It would be the same as humiliating himself in front of his enemies. The man standing before Tian Sen warned him that if he refused to cooperate, he would inform Tian Sen’s parents immediately that very day. Consequently, We Yan might have to mobilize the full might
“Uncle, how about we do it this way. I need your help—here’s the thing…” Tian Sen told the man everything he had been through, including the deaths of the merchants and the people who shouldn’t have died. Upon hearing Tian Sen’s story, the man furrowed his brow. It seemed their young master had gone through something quite tragic. They already knew that he had lost people from his village back then and that he was the only survivor because his parents had hidden him in a secret place. This time, due to the young master’s own carelessness, more than fifteen people had died. Although he couldn’t be blamed—since he had intended for them to reach the city quickly—it still weighed heavily on him.The person sitting next to them, who had also heard the story, was somewhat angry at the perpetrator. From what the young master had said, it was clear that the person responsible for this had significant ties to the royal court—or, more precisely, to the royal family itself. If the person who kil
“No evidence against that man? Wait, have you even investigated him?” the man asked in astonishment. Wasn’t it Tian Sen who did all that? Then why did that man come to this city? And even though they’d received information that Tian Sen had disappeared on the second night, they still found no trace to suggest that Tian Sen was the one who killed him. In fact, almost everyone who got involved in the case ultimately failed because they were convinced that the young man hadn’t done anything. And besides, with the symbol on his hand, as the lead investigator, how could he possibly dare to accuse Tian Sen? Of course, he didn’t tell this man about Tian Sen’s identification mark, because he knew the young man’s arrival in town wasn’t just over some trivial matter. “Sir, I really can’t help you anymore. But as someone who’s always helped you, I’ll give you one piece of advice that might upset you a little. Don’t get into trouble with that young man at the brothel! Or, as long as he’s here, d
“No problem—I should help you as satisfied customers!” Tian Sen replied with a gentle, relaxed smile, looking toward the women on the first floor. Seeing that Tian Sen seemed harmless, all the women were very pleased with his honest demeanor and thanked him. “If you’re thanking me, could you make me a meal for today? Tomorrow you’ll be opening the shop, so at least give me some comfort while you’re cleaning the upper floor!” said Tian Sen with a smile, looking forward to the meal he wanted to eat that day since he was indeed hungry. “Oh, of course, young Tian. Today, we’ll all be here just to serve you!” said the brothel owner happily. She didn’t feel she’d lost out because of what Tian Sen had done; on the contrary, she was happy because, thanks to Tian Sen, her brothel could open the next day after resolving the misunderstanding. That day, Tian Sen was truly treated very well by them—not a single one of them was unhappy. They danced, flirted, and gave everything to Tian Sen, just
“Captain, this is a major problem! The merchants’ deaths are raising questions among our superiors. None of the women who served them realized they were dead!” said the soldier, who seemed confused about how the perpetrator had moved. They had already checked the roof but found no signs of it being breached; thus, in one case, it was certain the killer had entered the room, but in the others, the victims died from poison whose source they themselves did not know. The absence of any objects or needles at the crime scene made it impossible for them to find evidence of how the perpetrator had acted. “This is going to be tough! The victims were major merchants in this city; if we can’t find evidence of their deaths, our superiors will question our performance!” He was also worried about the consequences he might face for failing to determine the cause of these deaths. Although, in truth, he himself was pleased by the deaths of the merchants who always raised prices on the city’s resident
“You! What are you doing here?” shouted the fat man, not expecting Tian Sen to be bold enough to approach him. He knew Tian Sen, and since they’d set out that morning, Tian Sen hadn’t been seen again. They thought the young man had left them, but some merchants suspected that Tian Sen might have gone into the forest and gotten lost there. Since they were in a hurry to get to the city, the guards had no choice but to leave Tian Sen there at the time. “Me? You’re asking what I’m doing? Of course, I’m here to kill you, you damn bastard! Because of you, they all died—innocent people who knew nothing became the victims. Since the government can’t punish you, let my sword do the talking!” Tian Sen said coldly to the fat merchant. Seeing how serious Tian Sen was, the fat man was terrified, but his body wouldn’t move—not only because the woman was on top of him, but also because he was still inside her, so he couldn’t pull out. “You—aren’t you afraid of being arrested by the city guards? We
