Yuan Shanchuan smiled bitterly.
He wandered around the courtyard for a long time before being caught.
“It’s fine if I was caught, but one of the stewards here thought I was a thief because they found the painting in my arms. That steward swore that he had searched for the painting and that it was worth thousands of gold. It was something from their black market and was stolen by me. He asked me to return the painting.”
Shu Yu was speechless.
Da Niu was speechless.

That was a robbery.
Yuan Shanchuan naturally refused to give it to them. He had risked his life to hide it, but the people of the black market took it away.
However, it was difficult for him to fight against four hands with two fists. He could not snatch from these people at all.
Moreover, he was a person who appeared in the black market for no reason. He looked disheveled and did not have much money. How could he have such a valuable painting on him? Even if he defended himself, it would be useless. Of course, the people of the black market believed the steward’s words.
The painting was not preserved and was taken away by the steward.
Shu Yu pondered. “Didn’t the bodyguard tell you the so-called important case file was hidden in the painting? Have you ever thought of taking out the case file and hiding it alone?”
“l thought about it, but I couldn’t find it at all. I’ve looked at the painting several times but couldn’t find any case files. I was also afraid that if I tore, I would destroy the painting, so I could only take the painting everywhere.”
The people had taken away his painting from the black market. As a thief, he was naturally not allowed to stay.
Someone suggested they teach him a lesson and throw him out with his face covered. After all, Yuan Shanchuan didn’t know what this place was then or how to get in. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t find the black market.
No one objected, so the steward got someone to beat him up.
However, Yuan Shanchuan, who had been hiding for many days and had not had a good rest or meal, could not withstand such a beating. Halfway through the beating, he collapsed.
Moreover, it had reached the point where his internal injuries were severe.
If he was thrown out like this, he might be unable to keep his life.

Moreover, they had always kept a low profile. If someone died, the opening of the black market would be affected, especially when Jiangyuan County had a new county magistrate. They didn’t dare to take the risk. Lord Xiang wasn’t as easy to fool as the previous county magistrate.
Yuan Shanchuan couldn’t leave for now, so he stayed in the black market to recuperate.
However, the steward worried about him and had someone watch over him daily.
When his injuries were almost healed, someone would drug him and take him out of the black market.
Three days ago, Yuan Shanchuan was sent out of the black market.
Shu Yu looked up. No wonder Yuan Shanchuan had been missing for so long. He had been recuperating in the black market for more than ten days.
Da Niu frowned. “l wondered why Fourth Uncle had become so skinny in just a month.’
He seemed to have thought of something and quickly stood up. He took all the snacks on the table and said, “Fourth Uncle, we’ve talked for so long. Do you want to eat something first?”
Shu Yu clearly saw Yuan Shanchuan secretly swallowing his saliva. It seemed that he had been hiding and hadn’t eaten anything.
Brother Daniu was indeed a meticulous person..
