Chapter IV Meetings

Unfortunately, a few days ago, there was a heavy rain, Yan Jiujiu carried a slightly dyed skirt and walked on the muddy and bumpy path, and a broken bluestone tile eaves were faintly exposed in front of Yan Jiujiu's destination. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, someone contacted her as early as a week after the anonymous notice was published, but in order to leave Chu Qing, who was always following her, she had to postpone this meeting for a week, and when Chu Qing's girl lost her curiosity about the origin, she then supported her to go out, and pressed Chen's mother to guard the mansion, she quietly changed into the red slanted high-necked folk jacket skirt prepared earlier, the skirt collar and skirt corners were only embroidered with small flowers and plants, and the headdress was also replaced with an ordinary hairpin, and only the left hand wore a slightly conspicuous engraved auspicious cloud against the old silver bracelet, and then went out of the back door of the Jin Mansion alone at noon, Yan Jiujiu wore this ordinary outfit and successfully passed through the crowded streets in the center of Los Angeles, and slowly wandered outside the city while shopping in the street market, and the road outside the city was not as smooth as the road in the city, and the potholed lots came and went.

She sighed, Luo Cheng didn't know how many pairs of eyes stared at her Jin Mansion, but the level just now was considered dangerous, she thought secretly, but she didn't pay attention to the shadows that flashed densely in the grass along the way.

Yan Jiujiu was still walking with her skirt, the old temple with ruins and broken walls was on the hill not far in front of her, she passed by the herbal tea shop with the word "tea" on the opposite side of the rain pavilion, the simple four or five tables in the shop were full of people, Yan Jiujiu couldn't help but look at it twice, and secretly wondered in her heart, that **** Coming to find this temple is just a clear sky, although there are four or five tables, but a total of only three, each table is not as crowded as today, she quietly swept the shop is full of businessmen's clothes and appearance, she is even more strange in her heart, this rainy day is difficult to do business, this cult tea shop should be deserted........ After she walked away, she slowly recalled those people with different looks, and the gags at each table seemed to be completely irrelevant, but Yan Jiujiu noticed a small detail, the sitting posture of the people at those tables and the way they tied their belts were the same, where are these peddlers and pawns? And the middle-aged man in the ink-colored robe there had the chain of a gilt pocket watch on the buckle of his shirt, which at first glance should be a serious businessman, but those rough and thick hands were strange, if it was a rich businessman, he would not do those heavy and tiring tasks himself, such a pair of hands that had gone through the vicissitudes of life she had seen countless in Dewey Manor, but those were guards with kung fu on their bodies...... Yes, this man may be the leader of these men, but what is the matter with him disguised as a vendor on a rainy day?

Suddenly, her eyes moved, maybe it was not a coincidence that she went out of the city peacefully?

She suddenly thought of the unobstructed back street from the room on the second floor, and there was a lot of baked cake shop on the side of the street recently, but it was facing her mansion, and she naturally knew that Jing Shilang secretly sent a cadre to monitor her, but the people in this baked cake shop were not like the people of the Jing family...... But why did she always feel that the gaze that was sometimes as absent at that time came from this baked cake shop...... And is the person in this tea shop just now related to Jing Shilang and the baked cake shop?

It doesn't matter if it's friend or foe for the time being, she chose this location to attract the attention of this tea shop, in case the people in this temple change, she can also have hope of getting out of danger.

While thinking about it, she entered the temple, and under the solemn and graceful stone bodhisattva stood three men with stout bodies and reckless faces.

"Big brother, it's a woman!" cried one of the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked fellows.

"Don't be rude!" another dark-faced man scolded, turning around and looking at Yan Jiujiu with a stern expression, "The girl is the one who posted the anonymous notice?"

Yan Jiujiu nodded, "I think you are the one who has clues? Today I came on the order of my wife, and the number of the bounty is also known to the three of them, and the more detailed our wife says about this matter......" As she spoke, she raised her arm, deliberately revealing the old silver bracelet, and rubbed her fingers against each other, "This will naturally not be missing you!"

The man in the middle was silent, thinking that it was the head of the three people, Yan Jiujiu deliberately exposed the old silver bracelet with very good workmanship just now, and the man in the middle of the angle must have seen it very clearly, and sure enough, the man opened his mouth.

"It seems that the girl is also the housekeeper of a large family, but today my wife called a few of us to question..... But why do you see only the girl but not the reward?"

The implication is that you have to see the bounty to pry their mouths open, so careful people! Yan Jiujiu couldn't help but snort secretly.

She smiled and said, "This big brother is really anxious! You didn't hear what I said just now, but my wife said it.... The more you talk, the more money you give!"

As she spoke, she took out a silver dollar from her bosom and blew it gently, and the crisp and pleasant sound sounded in the air.

The lean man on the side looked at Yan Jiujiu's precious old silver bracelet and secretly envied the maids for being so noble, thinking that this family must be monstrous and wealthy, and then he was tempted by this silver dollar and couldn't help it anymore, "You don't talk nonsense! Bring the money first! What if we tell the news and you don't give the money? Who knows if you brought someone to hide somewhere this time, just wait for us to finish talking and then kill your mouth!"

The slightly steady man arched his hand and said: "Girl, we are also just in case, please don't blame the girl" The man looked at Yan Jiujiu silently, only carefully wiped the silver dollar in his hand, the light in the temple was already dim, the silver dollar shining in the silver light shook the man's heart, he swallowed his saliva, "Girl, don't be angry..... We are just ordinary people, with an old mother to support, and a wife and children to support.... We had no choice but to do this, and we just wanted to make sure you didn't bring the bounty... We'll tell the girl what we know....."

Yan Jiujiu raised his head but was not in a hurry to answer, this more stable man is indeed a little smart...... However, she does regret publishing the anonymous missing person notice now, but not many people know the real news, but she frequently provokes these people who are delusional like hungry wolves and tigers.

She stared at the man, glanced at the terrifying-looking man next to her, and said to him: "You are more intelligent and stable than him, if you don't come to deceive our wife like this today, our wife will appreciate a person like you very much.... It's a pity, I'm afraid you can only work on that dock for the rest of your life!"

"How do you know we're working on the docks?" the steady man was startled and was about to prevaricate, but the bald monkey-eyed man said loudly.

Yan Jiujiu looked at the man who was silent for a long time, but his eyes stayed on the slightly trembling fist, "The body is as strong as an ox, the skin is dark, and the fingernails are cleanly cut..... If it's one person, I don't dare to jump to conclusions, but plus the three of you have one high and one low shoulders, it must be a place to carry things for many years....."

Speaking of this, Yan Jiujiu's eyes were sharp, she glanced at the feet of the three of them, and her heart was clear, but she didn't say much, she knew that what she said earlier had constituted the most powerful evidence.

"The entanglement between Gu Huaizhen and the Jing family happened at four o'clock in the afternoon on Changsheng Street, and it was the peak period of wharf transportation, where did you get your ears and eyes to see the farce on Changsheng Street?"

These laborers are short-sighted, Yan Jiujiu's words were just to deter these three people from knowing each other and leaving, but in case the rabbit dies and the dog cooks is not impossible, when she weighs it, she has quietly retreated to the temple gate, the signboard of the tea shop is faintly visible in her afterglow, and the crowd full of black pressure is no longer there, Yan Jiujiu is a little anxious.

"Hmph, what if you've seen through it now?" the sharp-cheeked man stepped forward, "Get your money out!"

At first glance, the three sturdy men were obviously in a weak position against a little girl, Yan Jiujiu didn't speak, but the steps under his feet slowly walked towards the door.

"Big brother, that girl is going to run away!" is him again, not only his appearance is slender, but even his voice is so harsh.

Yan Jiujiu saw that he had been exposed at this time, so he simply didn't do anything, pulled up his feet and ran outside.

The man in the middle and the man with the sharp mouth pounced on her and shouted, "Don't let her run!"

The steady man was still hesitating, but two streams of people suddenly poured in on both sides of the door, Yan Jiujiu didn't see it clearly, the two streams of people rushed in, like a black line brushed over and surrounded the three men tightly, although the three men had force but could not see the real kung fu, three times five divided by two were subdued to the ground.

Although Yan Jiujiu was shocked, she was divided when she saw the man in the ink-colored robe, but among those family members, there were about a dozen more people in addition to the one she saw in the tea shop just now, although she had doubts in her heart, she still looked calm and calm, waiting for the head man to speak.

"Miss Jin, you are frightened this time! I am the helmsman of the hall under Zhong Wuye, and our Zhong Wuye was specially entrusted by Mr. Zhou to escort Miss Fang!" "It was a white-faced man who spoke, and he didn't notice him just now, but now if you look closely, the dozens of extra people are his people, and Mr. Zhou must be the person her father called before she left, so it is not unlogical to think about it carefully.

Yan Jiujiu nodded, but the ink-robed man was suspicious, thinking about her, he said, "Then who are you?" I saw that you were not with them when I saw you in the tea shop just now. ”

She raised her chin in the direction of the white-faced man.

"Miss Jin, I'm also Zhong Wuye's person! we just went our separate ways just now!" the ink-robed man said humbly, his expression no different.

"Oh......." Yan Jiujiu replied thoughtfully, although the ink-robed man saved him together, she didn't believe his words very much.
