Chapter 487 I don’t save people, but I can kill people

Shen Yanxi's words made Jiang Suining look at him. Did Shen Yanxi prepare other backup plans? No, if there were other preparations in advance, Shen Yanxi would not have told her. Jiang Suining suppressed the doubts in her heart, without showing any expression, and continued to wait for Shen Yanxi's next words. Wen Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Human life?" "Yes, human life." Shen Yanxi glanced outside the teahouse and continued, "A few months ago, Yunwen Temple caught an assassin who assassinated an official of the court. The other party was very tight-lipped. Under torture, he neither explained his origins nor the reason for the assassination. After nearly a month of interrogation, all kinds of means were used, and only one piece of information was obtained. His name is Yan Qi." Dong! Jiang Suining heard a noise coming from outside the teahouse, as if something hit the wooden door. She took a look. Although no one showed up, once the name Yan Qi came out, it was natural to say who the person outside was. The smile on Wen Yan's face faded, "It seems that Lord Shen came to the black market tonight with other preparations." Shen Yanxi chuckled and shook his head, "It can't be said that I was prepared. It was only after I met Shopkeeper Yan that I suddenly remembered that person. I just don't know if the owner knows him?" "What if he knows him? What if he doesn't know him?" Wen Yan's charming eyes were cold and sinister, "Isn't he dead?" Shen Yanxi looked directly at the door of the tea room this time, and said with emotion. "He did commit suicide by taking poison, but Yan Qi was lucky enough to be rescued." Yan Wu, who was outside the tea room, trembled fiercely in his heart, and appeared at the door pushing a wheelchair, staring at Shen Yanxi and asked. "Are you telling the truth? The person is not dead yet?" "Of course it's true." Shen Yanxi nodded. "When he was arrested, the poison sac hidden between his teeth had already been found. But no one expected that someone would be able to sneak into the Yunwen Temple prison and give him another poison. He should have been dead for sure, but the poison was the same as the poison in the poison sac that was found at the beginning. A doctor used the poison sac to develop a way to alleviate the disease. In addition, he was discovered by the yamen runners as soon as he took the poison, and finally his life was saved." Yan Wu's heart was beating fast, and his skinny hands clenched on the armrests of the wheelchair. The joints turned white due to the force, and he almost crushed the entire armrest. However, although he was excited, he still did not completely believe what Shen Yanxi said, "But the news you announced to the public was that the prisoner had taken poison and died." Shen Yanxi explained calmly: "I have no idea who it was and how they sneaked into Yunwen Temple to deliver the poison. In order to prevent a second attack, we simply announced to the public that the person was dead. As for the body that was cremated, it was just a serious prisoner who died of illness." Wen Yan frowned, "How could Lord Shen know so clearly?" "I have a good relationship with Pei Zhaozhi, and I introduced the doctor who developed the antidote for the poison sac. He did not hide these things from me." "So, my brother is really not dead..." Yan Wu's sickly face showed joy. "Yan Wu!" "Owner, Yan Qi is still alive, my brother is still alive!" Yan Wu looked at Wen Yan excitedly. Wen Yan's face was gloomy, obviously quite unhappy with Yan Wu's reaction, but she did not scold him. After a moment of silence, she said to Shen Yanxi. "So, Lord Shen wants to exchange Yan Qi's life for the box?" Jiang Suining frowned quickly. This must not be done. However, before she could stop him, Shen Yanxi had already shaken his head. "Of course not. If this is really used as a condition for exchange, it would probably be more troublesome than making a promise." Shen Yanxi's answer was within Wen Yan's expectations. Going to Yunwen Temple to find a death row prisoner who assassinated a court official, once this was done, it would really be inseparable from the black market. Shen Yanxi would not be so stupid. Yan Wu came back to his senses from his excitement, stared at Shen Yanxi and said. "What conditions does Lord Shen want in exchange?" Although he was restrained, his tone still revealed eagerness. Facing Yan Wu's question, Shen Yanxi shook his head, "I'm afraid that I will disappoint Shopkeeper Yan. I have no intention of helping you save people." Yan Wu's face sank and threatened: "Sir Shen, since you have already told me about this matter, that person must be saved no matter what. If you don't want to, you can't take the box away." "Yan Wu, don't be rude." Wen Yan looked at Yan Wu coldly. The latter gritted his teeth, "Master, I only have this brother." "I know, but since Sir Shen has raised this point, even if he is unwilling to save people, I think there should be other exchange conditions." "I just said that my exchange condition is a life." Shen Yanxi said with a faint smile. "You are not unwilling to save..." Yan Wu said halfway, his face suddenly changed. Shen Yanxi looked at Yan Wu and knew that he should have guessed it. He said calmly, "Yes, I don't intend to save anyone. As an official appointed by the court, I naturally cannot break the law. However, he is a death row prisoner after all, and he is a death row prisoner who refuses to confess. If I want him to die earlier, it is not difficult." "You dare!" Yan Wu's eyes flashed fiercely. Shen Yanxi looked at him casually, "Whether I dare or not depends on your choice." "I think you don't want to leave this black market alive!" Yan Wu's murderous intention suddenly rose. "It's the same as before. If we really die in the black market, the court will never sit idly by. Does Shopkeeper Yan want to put the entire black market under the court's arms for one person? What's more, even if I die, your brother may not be able to continue to live." Shen Yanxi was calm and composed. His determined look, through the disguised mask, made it impossible for people to doubt or refute his threat at this moment. Yan Wu was furious, but he could only stare at Shen Yanxi. Xiao Qi was going to kill him in order to avenge his broken leg. When he first learned the news, he had asked the host to find a way to rescue him. But Xiao Qi acted privately and provoked people in the court, which broke the rules. No matter how he begged, he couldn't get over the rules. The rules of the black market cannot be changed, and Xiao Qi must commit suicide by taking poison. Since then, he has been heartbroken and unable to sleep at night. But since Xiao Qi is lucky and still survived after taking poison, he can't watch him die again. Yan Wu took a deep breath, supported the wheelchair with both hands, and moved his whole body down from it. His knees pressed directly to the ground, and he knelt down in front of Wen Yan. "Host, although Xiao Qi made a mistake, he has already committed suicide by taking poison, which is considered to be in compliance with the rules. Please don't pursue it any further, let him live!"
