Even if he was killed by the border troops, he still hid himself."

Chen Ji was startled. The other party said it so firmly, with all the details and logic. Could it be true?

But how could the Guyuan frontier army be so bold? Not only did they collude with bandits to rob the county magistrate, but they also dared to use the county magistrate's ear as military merit?

If it were true, this courage would be shocking.

Chen Ji pulled out the whale knife and put the cold blade against the opponent's neck: "Is there anything else important?"

The young man said: "Moreover, after the prince comes, the Dusi Mansion will offer a reward of one hundred taels of silver to find the whereabouts of Jing Chao Xizuo and the bandits. As long as you can help the court catch Xizuo or the bandits, you can receive the money!"

Chen Ji said calmly: "How many have you caught?"

"I didn't hear who was caught..."

While he was talking, the sound of iron hoofbeats was heard outside the inn. It was the sound that a war horse with iron slaps could make. It was crisp and crackling. As expected, they should be Chen Wenzong's reinforcements brought from the Dusi Mansion.

Chen Ji was silent for a moment and stood up straight.

He held the whale knife upside down in his hand, and the tip of the knife hovered in the air on the thief's temple: "I can let you go, and let those children go, but you still have to do a few things for me."

The thief quickly asked: "What's the matter?"

Chen Ji said calmly: "It's not time to tell you, but how will I find you in the future?"

The thief replied: "Go to Longmen Inn and tell the shopkeeper to ask for 'Brother Hu', and he will pass the message to you!"

"Longmen Inn?" Chen Ji thought thoughtfully: "Can I trust you?"

"Of course!" the thief said in a panic, "I, Brother Hu, are also a well-known person, and I will never break my promise."

"Let's go," Chen Ji stood up and raised his feet. The thief climbed up on his hands and knees, beckoning the child and disappeared out of the window.
