The corpse on the ground was already cold and stiff.
The Dead Man had a deep sword wound in his chest, and the injury to his abdomen was equally severe. It could be said that he was killed in just two strikes!
She gritted her teeth at this: Jiang Han has such skills?
Lin Zhentian couldn't believe it either. Was there someone protecting Jiang Han? This seemed highly possible. Jiang Han had enough resources to launch attacks on other countries. Naturally, he must have hired someone for protection. Moreover, having made connections with the Imperial Merchant, even if Jiang Han himself lacked power, the Imperial Merchant would certainly not allow him to die so easily.
Now, there was yet another person she wanted to eliminate! It seemed she had to find a way to uncover who the Imperial Merchant behind Jiang Han was!
"Father, you rest at home; I will go discuss this with the Heir." The Langya Heir was soon to inherit the Langya Prince's throne. With a threat like Jiang Han around, they needed to deal with him as soon as possible.
That morning, Lin Qingyue did not come to deliver any news. He knew that the Dead Man he had brought in was gone.
"Are you sure you saw correctly?" The Langya Wang Heir, Che Chengyun, looked coldly at his subordinate, his gaze as if he were looking at a dead man.
The subordinate nodded vigorously: "I saw it very clearly. Last night, someone carried a figure dressed in black out of the Jiang Family Shop and headed towards the Lin family."
"I sneaked over to check, and that corpse is indeed the Dead Man you brought."
Che Chengyun's face turned ashen. Wasn't it said that Jiang Han was unarmed and had never killed even a chicken? How could he easily kill a Dead Man? Was Jiang Han's strength hidden too deeply, or was Lin Qingyue deceiving him?
Just as he was lost in suspicion, a servant outside reported: "Heir Apparent, Lin Qingyue and Lin General request an audience."
Che Chengyun waved his hand: "Bring her in."
"Yes!"
Lin Qingyue hurriedly ran towards the Heir: "Do we need to change our strategy?" She conveyed her escalating suspicions to Che Chengyun.
Che Chengyun scrutinized her; it seemed she wouldn't conspire with someone like Jiang Han to deceive him. This meant that Jiang Han was hiding something from her.
Realizing this issue, he agreed wholeheartedly: since they had failed multiple times to take his life, today he would test who exactly the Imperial Merchant behind Jiang Han was!
If Che Chengyun had previously entertained thoughts of winning over the Imperial Merchant behind Jiang Han, now all he wanted was for that Imperial Merchant to die!
It was truly too much to bear!
But they understood that the Imperial Merchant was shrouded in darkness. Jiang Han would certainly not reveal who the Imperial Merchant was, so the only way to force that person to show themselves was to take action!
"Car!"
The subordinate, referred to as "Car," swiftly appeared before the two.
"Heir Apparent, you called for me?"
Che Chengyun nodded at him. "According to our previous plan, you should go today!"
After bowing, Car left Langya Wangfu.
Upon realizing what Che Chengyun intended to do, Lin Qingyue smiled proudly. "Now, even if we can't take Jiang Han's life, we will at least find out who the Imperial Merchant behind him is!"
Meanwhile, at the Jiang Family Shop...
Yan Dong had some experience with bookkeeping. After Jiang Han explained the situation to her, she quickly organized everything in an orderly manner.
Zhuo Zishi looked at Jiang Han with a smile. " Shopkeeper Jiang, when did you recruit this one? Are we going to have a new boss lady?"
Yan Dong's fair skin made her delicate features stand out even more. Even without elaborate makeup, she appeared far more refined than ordinary women. Coupled with her graceful demeanor, it made people think that Jiang Han's luck had finally turned around.
However, Jiang Han was too lazy to explain further. "I brought her in to help with the accounts. I plan to sell some items in the shop during this period, and the three of us can't manage it alone."
Zhuo Zishi continued to smirk at Jiang Han. "We all understand!"
If it weren't for Jiang Han being present, Yan Dong would have rolled her eyes at him. Zhuo Zishi was one of the people Lin Qingyue had arranged to come over. Although Lin Qingyue and Jiang Han had already severed ties, Zhuo Zishi appeared not to have done anything harmful towards Jiang Han.
If Jiang Han found himself short-handed and didn't want to keep an eye on him, now that Yan Dong was here, any sign of trouble from Zhuo Zishi would mean he could no longer stay!
Thus, Yan Dong had two tasks: protect Jiang Han and keep an eye on Zhuo Zishi. As for the other person, he was someone Jiang Han had personally recruited.
Jiang Han hadn’t mentioned any issues with him, but Yan Dong still kept a watchful eye on him.
As more people began to come and go, the shop's traffic was not particularly high; however, with Yan Dong’s presence, the three of them felt more relaxed than before.
At that moment, Car arrived with a group of people at the Jiang Family Shop.
"This is the place; smash it!"
Yan Dong put down her pen and before those people could act, she swiftly stopped them all in their tracks.
Under the bright daylight, do you still regard the Royal Law as important?
Che paid no attention to anyone else, instead scrutinizing Yan Dong closely.
I must say, Yan Dong's attire is quite exquisite. Although it does not compare to that of a Royal Miss, it certainly rivals that of a Royal Maid. It seems this woman is connected to the Imperial Merchant we are looking for!
Ah, my guess was right; the Imperial Merchant indeed left someone for Jiang Han!
Che sneered, "Royal Law? I should be asking if you even have any Royal Law!"
As he spoke, he tossed out a piece of food from his pocket. It looked unremarkable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was dried fruit from the Jiang Family Shop, marked with their seal.
"Bring him up!" Che commanded with authority. Soon, two of his subordinates carried in a stretcher.
On it lay a man with a darkened face, frothing at the mouth.
"My brother bought this dried fruit from you, and now he’s like this! Shouldn’t you give us some explanation?!"
His imposing demeanor drew the attention of those around him, causing a crowd to gather.
"What happened?"
"I heard that the Jiang Family Shop sold something that killed someone!"
"What? No way! I ate there just yesterday!"
"Who knows? Did they offend some powerful figure?"
It seems so; there were reports of a powerful individual wanting to burn down the Jiang Family Shop. Fortunately, someone brought the Guard Army in time to extinguish the flames. Otherwise, there might not be a Jiang Family Shop left in the capital!
The crowd grew larger, yet not a single person stepped forward to defend Jiang Han.
Che glared at Jiang Han. "Do you know who I am? We are important guards of Langya Wangfu! If you poison us and plot against us, are you trying to bring harm to Langya Wangfu?"
He drew his long sword and pointed it at the Jiang Family Shop.
"Smash everything!"
