Chapter 39 Dead
"Miss Rong, look."

Zhang Tuo handed over a piece of dead wood that had softened and rotted.

Rong Yan once did timber business several times when he was in Africa. This is a typical red oak, which grows in the rainy and rich soil. The wood is very strong and can be called the "diamond" in wood.

"Red oak...where does it usually come from?" Rong Yan asked Zhang Tuo because he didn't understand the distribution of water and soil in the Wei Dynasty.

Zhang Tuo: "It's generally distributed in the area from Youzhou to Nanchuan. It's just that there are so many wars in those two places, and it's been a long time since new wood has been transported."

Rong Yan touched the piece of red oak, thoughtfully, and then said, "Master Zhang, check out all the wood merchants in this city, especially those from Youzhou and Nanchuan. Also, are there any survivors on the sunken ship?" "

"There is one."

"What about the others?"

"Still in a coma."

Rong Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Master Zhang, you must find the most elite guards to protect you."

"Are you afraid..." Zhang Tuo hesitated.

"Murder to silence." A cold light flashed across her eyes.

Zhang Tuo's heart trembled a few times, and his hair stood on end, "I know, I'm going to send people to strengthen the defense now."

"Ah."

Just as Zhang Tuo was about to call for someone, suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps came.

The guard knocked open the door, fell to the ground, spun around, wiped off the sweat on his face, panting and said: "It's not good, Mr. Zhang, the kid who came here from the boat is dead."

Suddenly, Zhang Tuo's eyes narrowed, "What did you say?"

The guard was frightened by this momentum, and trembled three times, "Dead...dead."

Zhang Tuo was about to die of anger. Rong Yan just asked him to increase his defense, but now he died directly.

His face was ashen.

Rong Yan was completely calm: "How did you die?"

"Poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Zhang Tuo laughed immediately, but there was a tinge of anger in the smile, which was so hot that it almost spewed out from his eyes.

"Dare to put someone in my punishment department, heh—"

"You're not too brave!"

"Miss Rong, what do you think we should do now?"

Rong Yan sneered, "Get the people out as soon as possible, otherwise I'm not sure whether the clues left by those people will still exist. Their actions are often faster than ours!"

Zhang Tuo's eyes were lingering, "Have you heard that, according to Miss Rong's instructions, check it for me now, check it immediately!"

Guard: "Yes, my lord."

After the guards left, Zhang Tuo became a little dazed, as Rong Yan said.

Man-made, powerful.

He was able to reach out to the Ministry of Punishment.

Ah--

The background is definitely not small.

But...by that time, will he really be able to fight?he does not know.

"Master Zhang, we have to do one thing now."

Zhang Tuo immediately came back to his senses, "Say it."

"Pretend to be a lumber dealer, find all the lumber shops in the capital, and ask if there is any one that sells red oak."

"Okay, then I'm going to prepare now,"

Rong Yan got up, "You don't need to go, most vendors in the capital recognize you, so you can't go."

Zhang Tuo hesitated: "Where..."

Rong Yan saw through his worry, and said: "You can send an unfamiliar man to follow me, Mr. Zhang, as long as you play the most important role at the most critical time."

"Function? What does Miss Rong want me to do?"

Rong Yan, "Just keep my life safe."

Zhang Tuo laughed loudly: "It's natural, I will be a beauty-protecting girl."

Rong Yan smiled slightly.
