Chapter 9 Pan Huan
Miss Jin, she hasn't done anything suspicious except shopping and eating these days!"
Gu Xinci waved his hand, and the swift spy saluted and retreated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Miss, do you say that Miss Jin has been doing nothing all day long since she came to the concession? Could it be that we guessed wrong?"
There was a dignified and gentle woman sitting in the hall, wearing a jade flower-sprinkled crepe skirt, a goose egg face, red lips and teeth, no powder but her face was like the morning glow reflecting the snow.
A white-haired and blue-eyed Persian cat in his arms behaved lazily and was born with a pampered attitude, while the icy eyes and snow-white hair made people shiver as if they had fallen into an extremely cold ice cellar.
This cat looks like someone's real body.
The gentle stroking of the plain hand paused, "No, we didn't guess wrong. β
"That?" the hesitant maid asked, "but Uncle Eighth is the most meticulous person in the secret pile, and it is impossible for anyone to deceive his eyes." β
"That's right. Gu Xinci smiled softly, "But what if someone just wants you to see what she's doing?"
The girl shook her head.
"The eighth uncle is not leaking a drop of whereabouts, but it may not be that there is no one who doesn't know that the eighth uncle is following...."Gu Xinci lightly opened his lips, "So.... It's not Uncle Eight's problem, it's what she wants us to see. If the Eighth Uncle's news is more thorough, the bigger the problem."
The words seemed to be unfinished, but the girl on the side heard it clearly, and the matter was serious, only to see her two willow eyebrows hanging high.
"Miss! Bing Xue will definitely protect Miss well! I will never let that guy stumble on you!"
Gu Xinci smiled and shook his head, "You girl! When you were a child, your father only sent you to practice martial arts, but he didn't ask your husband to give you a touch or two in terms of studying, and when you returned from school, you became a stupid girl who had gained martial arts!"
"Miss! The old man said! I want to protect the young lady all the time! The young lady gives birth to me, and the young lady dies and I die!"
"It's no wonder that my mother gave you the name 'Bing Xue', Bing Xue is smart, isn't it bad to be smart?" Gu Xinci looked at the girl and swore that she couldn't help but quip.
"But Miss is smart! What am I going to do so smart? I just have to protect Miss!"
"There are some things that can't be solved by force alone," he said, pointing to Bing Xue's head, "You don't need to use a soldier or a general, it's the real skill to be clever and outwitful!"
"Clever and wise..."Bing Xue thought thoughtfully, "Oh! I can't think of it, I think Miss is still in charge of clever and outwitting, and I am in charge of hand-to-hand combat of life and death!"
This Bing Xue is a rectum, Gu Xinci couldn't help but sigh, since she was born, her father began to cultivate a large number of dead soldiers for valuation, it is said that Bing Xue's mother fled all the way to the outside of Los Angeles, and died when she gave birth to Bing Xue, as for other relatives are nowhere to be found, and such a child has adopted countless Gu family that year, and the outside world calls the Gu family virtuous and meritorious, and only the Gu family owner can save it, these helpless children, clean life, no worries, and the emotions cultivated since childhood can make them loyal to the deadγ
Uncle Eight is, and so is Ice and Snow.
Gu Xinci's gaze swept to the blue gauze cabinet at the end of the room, and all the antiques on the Bazhen lattice behind the cloud-like smoke and water yarn were hazy, she had no intention of looking hard, and picked up the teacup in the mist to see through the important matter of the moment.
"Miss, what do you say we should do about this? We can't be led by the nose by this Jin family, right?"
"You're right" Pushing the tea, Gu Xinci said slowly: "Guess why this Miss Jin only brought two maids and mothers-in-law when she returned to China this time?"
"Two maids, the Jin Mansion has been heavily guarded these days...."Bing Xue sighed for a while.
"It was arranged by the Jing family, and the Jing family lives near the Jin Mansion, and it is not easy to hide people's eyes and ears. Gu Xinci took a long breath and said.
"Then what should we do? We can't just sit back and wait, Miss! It's better to ....." Bingxue's eyes rose, and she whispered, "It's better to be clean!"
Gu Xinci lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "If you can't use it for us, it's better to kill her as fast as possible, it's really good! With Jin Qixuan's head, she must have guessed our plan at this moment, she has the Jing family and Dewey Manor, two right-hand men, if she is allowed to get out of the French Concession alive, I'm afraid our Gu family will usher in a catastrophe!"
"Miss!" Bing Xue was shocked when she saw the woman with the same expression, "Why don't I go and clean her up now!"
"No!" Gu Xinci said solemnly, "If we kill her now, our Gu family will never get what we want! You don't have to kill her, if she agrees to cooperate with us, not only will she get what she wants, but we will also save us a lot of unnecessary trouble..."
"But she has not shown us the slightest sign of showing her heart in the French Concession in the past few days!" said Bing Xue urgently.
"It's really good! This is the tricky part, she had an ambiguous attitude at the Sophie Hotel that day, I thought it would take a few days, but I didn't want her to be so reliant...."Gu Xinci raised his hand to stop the ice and snow playing a fan on the side, "You told the eighth uncle to send more people to keep an eye on it, if Jin Qixuan has no intention of picking on the Gu family....."
Bing Xue seemed to think of something, and said fearfully: "But after all, it happened on the territory of the Gu family.... If the Jing family and the Jin family are held accountable....."
Gu Xinci still gently stroked the Persian cat that was slowly licking its paws on its legs.
"Who said that she would do it in the French Concession? If she didn't help the Gu family, she would leave the French Concession sooner or later and wait for the security check.... The junction is not very prosperous, so when the time comes, let my future sister-in-law know in advance....."
Bing Xue groaned for a long time, suddenly gave a thumbs up, and praised again and again: "Miss is really a skilled person, and can be called Mr. Wise Trust! This move is not only foolproof, but also can greatly dampen the vitality of the Shen family at the same time, if you have to go to the concession, I am afraid that the French will never sit idly by! If it really comes to that time, the Gu family can compete with each other for the fisherman's profit! It's just that Uncle, I just don't understand why Miss has such a deep friendship for Uncle why he seems to be hooked by Miss Shen, Miss is so planning for him but he is unmoved, I really don't know.....β
Gu Xinci's eyes moved, and then she returned to her kind appearance.
"He'll see, it's just not the time yet......"
You have to do a full set of plays, let alone a cautious person like him.
Thinking of this, her eyes were slightly downcast, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, it depends on whether you will show up.......
The Los Angeles French Concession can be regarded as the largest and most prosperous place among the major concessions in the East. Compared with the lively folk customs of Los Angeles, there are more styles of interracial girls here.
Although its prosperity and development are several miles faster than that of Los Angeles, Yan Jiujiu doesn't like it here, she always feels that this place that seems to be light on the outside is just gold and jade, but there are hidden crises everywhere.
But she still chose a Chinese-style teahouse in the center of the city.
Exposure is also concealment.
She was followed by a man and a woman, and went up to the second floor with the hospitality of the attendants.
Fortunately, this teahouse is a patio structure, the first floor is the troupe and the big teahouse, and above the second floor is the box lattice room that runs around the building, and each room can see a different street, and Yan Jiujiu's room can just see the side of the main entrance of the patrol room on Xiafei Road.
This French concession has been taken over by the government since it returned to the motherland decades ago, but the foreigners will never willingly give up this piece of fat to others, so when they return to China, except for the warship corps, the rest of the foreigners will always stay in the concession, which is why Yan Jiujiu feels that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and the patrol house is even more crucial.
"Miss, why do we come to this teahouse every afternoon?" Chu Qing wondered, "But every time you come, you don't watch the opera, you just stare out the window in a daze!"
Yan Jiujiu looked at the servant who was standing up straight, and said to Chu Qing with a smile: "Look at how quiet people are, they really look like sparrows everywhere!"
"Miss!" Chu Qing stomped her foot.
"Come here!" Yan Jiujiu gestured, still staring intently out the window.
Chu Qing pouted and walked over reluctantly.
"What do you see?"
The patrol room is heavily guarded, the door is full of birds, and the teahouse with gongs and drums is like two sides, if you are not careful, you will not notice that this teahouse has been next to the patrol room.
Chu Qing was surprised, "Miss, you won't be staring at this patrol room all these days, will you?"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Yan Jiujiu's forehead, "Miss....., are you okay?"
Yan Jiujiu snapped Chu Qing's hand away, and said angrily: "You girl just come to make fun of me every day!
Chu Qing shook her head in confusion.
"I've been observing for the past few days, and there are a lot of foreigners coming and going in this patrol house.... It doesn't matter if it's a quick catch or someone else...."
Chu Qing frowned and wondered, "Then what does this mean?"
"The patrol house is the top priority of a city, and this Los Angeles is relatively special, although the French Concession has returned, but it has always been under the jurisdiction of Los Angeles separately, that is to say, the French Concession does not deserve its name, in fact, the French are still secretly cultivating power, and this patrol house is very important, think about it, what is above the patrol room?"
"What is it?" Hatsu Qing asked, widening her eyes.
"......" Yan Jiujiu was speechless, "the public board of directors ....."
When she saw Chu Qing's misty appearance, she saved her little head from realizing anything good.
"The Public Board of Directors is a local administrative organ, which is equivalent to the ancient Yamen of our country, and the officials of the Public Board of Directors are equivalent to the parents of the officials. β
"So much power?" Chu Qing exclaimed.
"Hmm," Yan Jiujiu nodded, "Now you look back and think about it, if the direct subordinates of this public board of directors patrol more foreigners than Han Chinese....."
"Ahh
Then he murmured, "But Miss..... We are full of people...."
"......" Yan Jiujiu sighed helplessly, "Whether it is Han or Manchu, everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang, and now foreigners are domineering, and the Gu family is a big celebrity in front of this foreigner......."
As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Qing coldly.
Chu Qing was also looking at her in shock, "Miss, do you mean to say.... The Gu family and foreigners ....."
She asked tentatively.
Yan Jiujiu nodded, biting his fingers thoughtfully.
"Collusion between officials and businessmen!" Chu Qing said in shock, "This is not an ordinary collusion between officials and businessmen!" No matter what the hell the foreigners have to do..... If this spreads, at least it will end up as a collaborator and treason!"
Chu Qing looked at the straight domestic servant standing on the side in a daze, and only felt that his posture was more upright than just now.
"Miss, if I could see it, there would be a lot of capable people who could see it, but why didn't anyone report it?
Speaking of this, Yan Jiujiu glanced back at her faintly, and pointed at her.
Chu Qing had an epiphany, but he was sweating like soybeans, "Then isn't it very dangerous for us to be in this situation?"
"I'm thinking about it now......" Yan Jiujiu's meaningful eyes flashed in Chu Qing's heart, "I'm thinking about how to escape!"
"Miss!"
Chu Qing listened to a burst of shock, if the young lady had a plan, she would never choose to escape, she wanted to come to the past few days Miss took them to eat, drink and have fun It was not as simple as imagined, just to delay again and again......
"But Miss Hao has already seen that this is a dead end!" Chu Qing thought secretly, but unconsciously cried, "Miss! What if we can't get out? The lord and the lady are worried about it! If I can die for the young lady......"
Yan Jiujiu hurriedly covered her mouth, "Okay, okay, wipe away your tears, don't mention anything about life or death, believe me, we will all go out safely." β
Actually, she doesn't know....
But now if she is in chaos, not only will she fall into the trap of the enemy, but even the last hope of escaping will be revealed.
She couldn't help but call him, "Adin!"
"The little one is here, the young grandmother!" The mighty man strode forward and knelt majestically in front of Yan Jiujiu, "The little one is only the young grandmother, but listen to the young grandmother's orders!"
The words are sonorous.
".....," Yan Jiujiu said in his mouth, "Don't call me a young grandmother....... I'm a big girl who hasn't married yet......."
"Yes!
β........β
The man in front of him was kneeling in front of him with a respectful and cautious face, just like the majestic Pixiu beast.
Yan Jiujiu thought that this was not the time to care about these trivial things, as long as she could go back alive, she was afraid that she would not be able to clean up the people who instigated Ah Ding to call her young grandmother?
It's good, she has one more reason to live.
At that moment, Zhengse said: "Where is the distant mountain now?"
"The chief steward has already gone out with the people at today's security check. Adin reported.
"Okay!" Yan Jiujiu said in a deep voice, "He is worthy of being a member of the Jing family!
Fortunately, Jing Shilang wanted to pretend to be her driver and maid in front of her, and then use the Jing family to go in and out of the French Concession on the pretext of getting out, as long as he didn't show up, the Gu family would never think about these small fish and shrimp, if it weren't for them, she and Chu Qing would only be afraid of the fish on the Gu family's knife board now.
