Chapter 430 What does he mean?
Blood flowed like a river inside the house, but Chen Dao didn't even glance at it. He directly led Chen Cheng out of the house and searched for a warehouse in the mansion.
It must be said that Wei Hua's mansion was very large. Chen Dao and Chen Cheng searched for a full quarter of an hour before finally finding a warehouse in a corner.
Chen Cheng cleaved the lock with a single blow, and the two then entered the warehouse and searched it. Before long, they found their target inside.
Wei Hua clearly valued the confiscated medicinal herbs, placing them in the most conspicuous position, which made it easier for Chen Dao and his companion to find them.
Besides the medicinal herbs, the warehouse was also filled with a lot of grain and gold and silver jewelry, but Chen Dao did not touch these things because of the time constraints.
After taking one last, reluctant look at the money he couldn't take with him, Chen Dao casually picked up a jewelry necklace that looked quite valuable, and then, together with Chen Cheng, they quickly left Wei Hua's residence.
…………
…………
Wangjing Tower.
Zheng Qiuyan stood by the window, gazing at the dark night, her face full of worry.
Just then, Zheng Qiuyan's eyes flickered as she heard faint footsteps.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Dao and Chen Cheng appeared on the street below.
Zheng Qiuyan subconsciously took a few steps back. The next moment, Chen Dao and Chen Cheng leaped up and entered the room through the open window.
"Young Master Chen, how is the situation?" Zheng Qiuyan asked impatiently.
"all the best."
Chen Dao smiled and placed a bundle on the table: "Wei Hua is dead, and the medicinal herbs have been retrieved!"
Looking at the strangely shaped fruits inside the opened bundle, Zheng Qiuyan's face flashed with the joy of having found what she had lost.
"Great!"
Zheng Qiuyan lowered her voice and cheered.
She picked up a fruit and examined it carefully, her cautious manner resembling that of a little girl holding her most beloved toy doll.
There was no other way; this batch of medicinal herbs was far too precious for the Zheng family. With it, Father could advance to the fifth rank, and the Zheng family's foundation would be even stronger!
"Young Master Chen, this matter should not have been discovered by anyone else, right?"
Zheng Qiuyan looked up and asked.
"no!"
Chen Dao shook his head. "Everyone who witnessed this has been silenced."
Chen Dao and Chen Cheng acted quickly, so the other servants in Wei Hua's mansion were unaware of what was happening, and all the women who witnessed the incident were silenced.
Therefore, it is highly unlikely that anyone else would know that Chen Dao killed Wei Hua.
"That's good."
Zheng Qiuyan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as no one else found out about this, it would become an unsolved case, and the Qingwang Mansion would not notice them.
"correct!"
Chen Dao suddenly took out a necklace from his pocket and said, "Miss Zheng, this necklace is for you."
"what?"
Zheng Qiuyan was stunned. Looking at the necklace in Chen Dao's hand, which was obviously very precious, her pretty face instantly turned red.
What does Young Master Chen mean by this?
Is she trying to confess her love to me?
Isn't this a bit too hasty? I'm not mentally prepared yet!
Besides, how can you express your love so directly? Shouldn't you ask your parents' opinion first?
Zheng Qiuyan instantly fell into a state of wild thoughts.
Chen Dao did not notice Zheng Qiuyan's expression, and simply said, "There are quite a few valuable things in Wei Hua's mansion. Because of the time constraints, Cheng Ge'er and I were unable to take those goods with us, and only brought back this necklace."
After saying that, Chen Dao added, "Can this necklace be used as payment for this batch of medicinal herbs?"
Zheng Qiuyan: "..."
Zheng Qiuyan glared fiercely at Chen Dao, that clueless idiot!
"Young Master Chen, please rest assured!"
Zheng Qiuyan gritted her teeth and said, "You were the one who took back this batch of medicinal herbs, so the Zheng family naturally won't take your money!"
Originally, the Zheng family intended to keep some of these medicinal herbs for their own use and then sell the rest to Chen Dao at a high price. But who could have imagined that something like this would happen during transportation?
The medicinal herbs were first seized by Wei Hua, and then Chen Dao took them back. Under these circumstances, the Zheng family was naturally embarrassed to ask Chen Dao for money again.
After all, Chen Dao was the one who seized the medicinal herbs. Strictly speaking, these herbs now belong to Chen Dao, so the Zheng family has no right to ask for money.
"That's a good feeling."
Chen Dao laughed and stuffed the necklace into Zheng Qiuyan's hand: "Miss Zheng, please accept this necklace as a token of my appreciation."
"it is good!"
Zheng Qiuyan rolled her eyes at Chen Dao, accepted the necklace, and then said, "Young Master Chen, my Zheng family only needs one Fireberry from this batch of medicinal herbs, and the rest are all yours, how about that?"
Of the three medicinal herbs, the Fireberry is the most potent. Just one is enough to advance Zheng Qing to the fifth rank. Any more than that would be of no use to the Zheng family except to sell them.
"no problem."
Chen Dao readily agreed. This batch of medicinal herbs consisted of two Fire Spirit Mushrooms, two Fire Fruits, and two Golden Melody Fruits. The Zheng family took one Fire Fruit, leaving two Fire Spirit Mushrooms, one Fire Fruit, and two Golden Melody Fruits, just enough for Chen Dao to advance to the levels of Rhubarb, Second Yellow, and Small Round, as well as two Azure Feather Chickens.
"Then it's settled."
Zheng Qiuyan put the necklace on, her snow-white neck appearing even more beautiful against the backdrop of the necklace: "Now that we have obtained the medicinal herbs, let's leave tomorrow to avoid any unforeseen complications."
Having achieved their objective on this trip to the prefectural city, Zheng Qiuyan felt there was no need for them to linger there any longer, especially since Chen Dao had just killed Wei Hua, the commander of the city's guards...
Although Chen Dao has done a clean job, no one knows if this matter will come to light. The best course of action now is to leave as soon as possible.
"Alright."
Chen Dao nodded.
The next day.
As soon as it was light, Xue Qi and Jiang Weiyu knocked on Chen Dao's door.
"Squeak."
The door opened, and Chen Dao looked at Xue Qi and Jiang Weiyu outside, and asked in surprise, "Brother Xue, why are you up so early today?"
"Senior brother went to bed early yesterday, so he naturally woke up early today."
Jiang Weiyu said with a smile that Xue Qi had fallen asleep after drinking alcohol yesterday afternoon and woke up before dawn, which also woke her up while she was sleeping in the next room.
"Brother Xue, it seems you still need to work on your drinking capacity!"
Chen Dao joked that Xue Qi loved alcohol, but his alcohol tolerance was really worrying. He would get drunk after just a few cups of rice wine, even less than Chen Dao, who hardly drinks at all.
"Hehe! Brother Chen is right."
Xue Qi scratched his somewhat messy hair, a little embarrassed, and said, "Let's not talk about that! Brother Chen, the weather is nice today, how about we take a stroll around the city together?"
"I'm afraid it won't work!"
Chen Dao opened the door and led Xue Qi and the other man into the room, pointing to the packed luggage inside and saying, "We're heading back to Taicang County today."
