Chapter 34 Assassination
“Young people nowadays are incredible!”
Looking at Shen Yu's departing back, Mr. Chen couldn't help but sigh. At the beginning, he could clearly feel that Shen Yu should be more or less on guard against him.
But after a period of communication, the two of them got along better and better, talking about everything from poetry to national affairs, and Shen Yu even got excited and talked about part of his plan for governing Bai'an County.
At the end, Mr. Chen almost grabbed Shen Yu and stopped him from leaving. He originally thought that he was just a rising star. He just helped him because he was a good official who worked hard, and then met him to see if there was any need for promotion.
But he didn't expect the other party to be so knowledgeable, which made him feel like he had met him too late. Even he himself felt that he was slightly inferior to him in terms of knowledge. This was because Shen Yu kept back and didn't say anything shocking.
What Mr. Chen didn't know was that someone like Shen Yu, who had been baptized by the Internet, could brag to him for three days and three nights without repeating himself. Just kidding, there are so many talented people on the Internet, and there is nothing you want.
"Tsk, that's nothing big, he's just an ordinary county magistrate!" Lu Siyu curled her lips in disdain. She felt helpless about the conversation between Shen Yu and Mr. Chen. They had originally agreed to just have a simple meeting, but the two of them ended up chatting for several hours, and she couldn't get a word in the whole time.
In her opinion, Shen Yu was just a small county magistrate who had just entered the officialdom, while Mr. Chen was the first think tank around his father, and many people were terrified of him. It was somewhat .
"An ordinary county magistrate? Miss, you don't understand! His talent is much greater than I thought!"
Mr. Chen smiled and shook his head, feeling a lot of emotion for a moment. He was able to have such ability, but he was still just a young man. He couldn't help but sigh that he was really old. The future world would eventually belong to the young.
"If he can pass this test, he will surely rise to prominence in the future. His future is limitless!"
"What a pity, this person has a big heart and may not be able to be used by the adults!" With a sigh, Mr. Chen turned to look at Lu Siyu and said with a smile, "Miss, we have helped you with this matter and have reminded you of what you should have done. You should come back with me, right?"
"Go back, this..."
" Don't worry, young lady. The master said that as long as you don't run away from home, he will not interfere with your marriage for the time being!"
Looking at the direction of Shen Yu going away, Mr. Chen suddenly smiled softly, and looked at Lu Siyu beside him in a teasing manner. "Miss, I think that Mr. Shen is really good. If you can recruit him as your son-in-law, I believe that Mr. Shen will be very satisfied!"
"Him? Forget it! Uncle Chen, I finally got out, I won't go back..."
"Miss, I can't disobey your orders, please don't make it too difficult for me!"
Shen Yu, who was leaving Wangyun Tower, turned back quietly. The chat he had just had with Mr. Chen had also made him put away his prejudice against this era.
There are always some geniuses in this era, whose wisdom and knowledge are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even he has a sense of sudden enlightenment in many places. And this Mr. Chen is definitely not an ordinary person.
But his reminder was correct, especially after the refugees emerged, there were too many things that could be done.
Whether it was deliberately provoking disputes among refugees, or spreading rumors, or even just poisoning the food he provided, causing the refugees who ate the food to be poisoned, he would be punished .
There is a saying that a thief can be thieves for a thousand days, so you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Passive defense will only make it impossible to defend. Mr. Chen can help him once, but he can't help him all the time, so he must take the initiative!
"Waiter, give me a bowl of vegetarian noodles!"
Arriving at a restaurant, Shen Yu casually shouted, "I've been talking to Mr. Chen for a long time, but I haven't even seen a bowl of rice. These people are not hungry, but he is really hungry. I thought I could go to Wangyun Tower for a meal, stingy!
"Sir, your noodles!" After a while, Shen Yu's noodles were served. A few chopped green onions were sprinkled on the hot plain noodles, which made Shen Yu, who was already hungry, feel hungry.
Just as he picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating, a faint blue light appeared in the corner of Shen Yu's eyes. It was the light of the poison-avoiding jade bead!
"There are always villains who want to harm me!" Looking at the jade beads , Shen Yu smiled bitterly. He couldn't even eat in peace.
But he didn't care at all, and swallowed the noodles in big mouthfuls, and even drank the soup under the bowl. With the anti-poison jade beads, as long as the jade beads didn't turn red, it was just a little poison, it wouldn't matter!
"Great cooking, great noodles!" Shen Yu couldn't help but exclaim in praise, and then he looked up at the waiter next to him who was staring at him, and asked with a half-smile, "Waiter, what's the matter? You've been watching me eat noodles for so long, isn't the store busy?"
"Sir, it is our honor to have you here, so of course we have to serve you well! The shopkeeper said that I will serve you alone!"
"Really?" He quickly pulled out the sword beside him and put it across the waiter's neck. Shen Yu looked him up and down, then snorted, "Why do I feel like you are up to something bad?"
"Look at you. You are here to assassinate someone, but you don't even disguise yourself. Look at the calluses on your hands. They are the hands that hold the knife! Look at your body again. There is not a trace of oil smoke. There are flaws all over your body. How dare you!"
"I can tell at a glance that you are not a good person!"
"You!" He had already been seen before he made a move, and he had put a sword across his neck, which was already embarrassing. After the action, he kept complaining that he was unprofessional. This was heartbreaking! How could this be tolerated!
"No!" Suddenly, the waiter saw Shen Yu's frowning brows, and he seemed to be covering his chest faintly, as if he was holding on!
In an instant, the waiter made a judgment, and then shouted, "He has been poisoned, he is bluffing, hurry up!"
"Bang!" As the waiter finished speaking, several figures flew over from all directions. The waiter next to him also had a fierce look on his face. He had a dagger in his hand and ignored Shen Yu's sword across his neck. He stabbed Shen Yu's heart fiercely.
This desperate fighting style made Shen Yu slightly stunned, and then he did not hesitate to swipe the sword in his hand quickly in front of his eyes. A sword light suddenly appeared, the sword was like a flying rainbow, as graceful as a startled wild goose, as if a bright light illuminated the entire hall.
The cold and merciless murderous aura seemed to be able to pierce through the whole body. If you don't look closely, you will never know what kind of terrifying murderous intent is hidden behind the gorgeous sword skills.
It only took a blink of an eye for everyone to react and they saw that the waiter who had just taken action had blood flowing from his limbs and collapsed to the ground in a very indecent manner.
As for the others who rushed forward, they all lay in a pool of blood. In one round, all those who came to assassinate him were killed!
Shen Yu didn't even stand up, as if everything that happened just now had no effect on him at all.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
"Hmph!" Even though his limbs were cut and he was sweating profusely, the waiter still didn't say a word. The only thing he answered Shen Yu was silence. After a while, the waiter's face turned black and he was silent in an instant.
"Dead? He's hiding poison in his mouth again. A murderer? A killer? This prefect has resorted to such means. He really has no bottom line! As expected, I have to act quickly!"
"System, sign in!"
"Signed in successfully, got the Sad and Cool Breeze!"
