At the same time, they also believed that even if Shao Zhongxi’s men in Changyu discovered them, they would have already killed Wei Zizhan and escaped.
They knew that they had already searched several streets, but they still couldn’t find a child who was about the same age as Wei Zizhan. Now, they were surrounded by so many people.
Naturally, they wanted to see if they could escape first. If they really couldn’t, they would result to the poison at hand and commit suicide.
There were only a few of them, and there were so many people on the other side, and each was very skilled. In the end, they took the opportunity before the other party captured them alive to commit suicide by consuming poison. They had done their last bit of loyalty to their master.
Only after seeing that these brawny men were dead did someone report this to Shao Zhongxi.
Shao Zhongxi was riding a tall horse on the streets looking for Wei Zizhan.
When he heard the report that the men were dead, he said without thinking, “Dispose of the corpse. Don’t let anyone find any traces.”
These brawny men had obviously found out about Wei Zizhan’s location before they did in Pingan Town. Without thinking, they knew that he was from the Ji family and Consort Yi.
If the Ji family and Consort Yi’s people couldn’t contact these brawny men and didn’t see their bodies, they would definitely suspect that they had fallen into his hands.
Naturally, he would start to worry about what these people would say in his hands, or he would help to be a witness and identify them…
Ji Yifui also pointed out what had happened back then… And that he had found his nephew…
Would the Ji family and Consort Yi be able to sleep knowing all this? The more the Ji family and Consort Yi were in a mess, the easier it was for them to give themselves away.
“Yes, sir!” Immediately, someone received the order to deal with the corpses.
Just as someone received the order, teams of people immediately came to report something.
“Your Highness, there’s nothing here!” “Your Highness, there’s nothing here either!”
“There’s no one on this street either!”
There were already so many people looking for him, and the matter had already blown up. Shao Zhongxi naturally did not mind making a bigger fuss.
He said coldly, “Search every house if you have to!”
He had to find his nephew as soon as possible before Consort Yi and the Ji family knew about the situation here.
He had to find him by today!
Wei Zizhan did not let the carriage send him directly to the entrance of the pawnshop, but he let the carriage stop two streets away from the pawnshop, lest the coachman knew that he was going to the pawnshop.
After alighting from the carriage, he walked another two streets before arriving at a pawnshop.
This was the pawnshop where he sold the jade pendant.
There was no one in the pawnshop at the moment. There was only a shopkeeper sitting behind the counter. The shopkeeper was calculating on an abacus and recording something. When he heard someone enter, the shopkeeper did not even bother looking up.
Wei Zizhan walked to the counter. The top of the counter was sealed with a wooden grid, leaving only a window. The counter was a little high, so Wei Zizhan tiptoed and handed the deed and 150 silver in through the window, saying, “Shopkeeper, I want to redeem something. Back then, we agreed that you would return it to me if I brought one hundred and fifty silver.”
“What is it?” The shopkeeper subconsciously raised his head to look. When he saw Wei Zizhan’s face, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Wasn’t this the person the two masters in the backyard were looking for?
Yes, it was this child.
He had a good memory.
At that time, it was this child who came to pawn the jade pendant.
When their boss saw that this jade pendant was good, he got a fake one and put it in the shop. The real one was taken by their boss and hung on his waist. However, a few days later, their boss was found by someone.
Those people seemed to have powerful backgrounds. In the end, their boss was trembling in fear and only asked him and his men to cooperate..
