Chapter Seventy-Nine: Underground Transactions
The guy laughed, smiling modestly, "Don't hide it, this account has been recorded by the small one since Ding Cheng's disappearance, I used to take care of the accounts, and then the owner was killed, and we guys had to come out and find another way." ”
Dawn was overjoyed, "You remembered!" That's great, then I'll come to you to learn to write when I have time, okay? ”
"Okay, okay."
A girl who doesn't do more is just a fool.
"What's your name?" The smile on Dawn's face was so bright that it melted the winter snow.
"Chen Qian."
"Chen Qian," Chenxi chewed on the name, still with a smile on her face, "I remember you." ”
That night, the night was dark, and the clouds covered the moon tightly, but the moon struggled to show some light.
The man in black in the night looked left and right, for fear of being discovered, and for fear that the person waiting would not appear.
Finally, I heard movement in front of me. Quickly hid under the bushes on the side, and a pair of wolf-like eyes stared at the place where there was movement.
The person who came was an old woman, and it was not very convenient to walk, and she must have been very tired when she procrastinated.
After making sure that the person who came was the one he was waiting for, the cat walked out behind the bushes.
The old woman looked around, and the wilderness was really scary, and occasionally she heard one or two distant dog barks, which could really startle her. Hearing movement behind him, he trembled with fright, "Who?" ”
"Me!" Chen Gan's heart was impatient, but who let the other party be a powerful corner, no matter what, he could only be patient first.
"What are you doing pretending to be a ghost? Scared to death! The old lady saw that the person was Chen Gan she was looking for, and immediately scolded in a low voice. Chen Gan's face was already showing displeasure, but the night was too dark for the old lady to see.
"How's it going to do what I told you to do?" The old lady didn't bother to talk about Chen Qian.
Chen Qian hesitated, but when he saw the old lady's cold and threatening look, he had no choice but to hand over the things hidden on his body, "The matter has been dealt with, you can rest assured." However, the benefits promised to me are not less. ”
The old lady got what she really wanted, and snorted coldly, "Yours are indispensable." ”
The night was dark, and she couldn't see anything clearly. Seeing that the old lady didn't trust him, Chen Qian couldn't help but say a little angrily: "You can't see the reason even if you look around here all night, since I, Chen Gan, have promised to do this for you, I will definitely do it." I hope you won't break your word. ”
"Noise, do you know who you're working for? Doing your job well is better than anything else, and if something goes wrong, watch your head. The old lady reproached angrily.
Chen Qian stopped squeaking.
The old lady no longer verified the ledger, "Okay, I'll trust you once." Is there any new movement in the workshop today? ”
Chen Qian shook his head, "No." ”
"None? How could there not be? The old lady's face was grim, "Didn't Dong Rong and the daughter of the King of Zhongshan, Chenxi, go to the workshop?" Why is she showing up at this time? What is the intention? She wouldn't see anything, would she? ”
Chen Qianyu stopped, if you really say that you have no intentions, it should be that this old woman has no intentions, that stupid girl is a serious workshop owner, and that workshop can also be said to be that girl's in disguise.
But as soon as he thought of the idiot who only knew how to laugh, Chen Qian sarcastically said, "Why is a little girl bothered? ”
"Don't underestimate people, you can't be sloppy at this critical time, if something happens, your whole family's life will not be guaranteed. Besides, the thing that I promised you to redeem your sister from the Qinglou can't be done. ”
"I see." As soon as he thought of his sister, Chen Gan's heart became anxious, it was he who was sorry for his sister, so he made his sister suffer a lot and fell into the dust, "It's just that that girl really doesn't have to be guarded, she did look through the account book, but she just praised my handwriting for being good-looking, and said that she had time to teach her to write." ”
"Really?" The old woman's voice pierced through the night, like a ghost.
Chen Qian said: "What am I lying to you doing? ”
The old lady snorted coldly and mocked, "It is said that Dong Rong's woman is a delicate and capable person, but I didn't expect to raise my daughter to be extremely precious and have no skills." ”
Then the old lady thought of something and asked, "What can I ask about their family from that idiot girl?" Is that Dong Rong really critically ill? ”
Chen Qian nodded, "That girl's eyes turned red and sour when she mentioned the people in the house. If it weren't for Dong Rong's accident, she wouldn't have been able to come to the workshop. Where is there anything to play and stay in this place of business? ”
The old lady was very satisfied with this answer, "What about this month's things?" ”
Chen Qian pointed to the bushes behind him, he had made a lot of effort to get the money here, and he wanted to steal the money to ransom his sister, but the old bustard said that he could only let his sister leave if he listened to the instructions of a certain master.
Chen Qian thought about it for a few days and understood, wasn't that master the old woman in front of him?
In order to achieve one's own ends, one really loses one's conscience and exhausts all means.
The old woman walked over to the bushes and lifted them, and although the night was dark, the outline of the box could be seen.
Clapping his hands, more than a dozen middle-aged people immediately came out from the direction where the old woman came before, dressed in black, with vigorous skills, and martial arts.
Chen Qian was stunned, and recalled what the old woman had told him just now, "You don't know who you're doing things with." ”
To whom?
Chen Qian didn't know any rich and noble people, he originally just wanted to be honest and peaceful, but he didn't want to be unsuccessful. I hope that after this incident, he and his sister can live a peaceful life.
Those black-clothed people thought that Chen Qian was in the way, and they lifted Chen Gan away.
This action -
Chen Qian suddenly thought of the Maitreya disciples who had done evil on the streets.
No, no, Chen Qian couldn't believe his thoughts, it was the Maitreya disciples who dragged his sister into the dust, he couldn't do things for those crazy people!
Chen Qian was lying on the ground, without any strength at all.
"Die, don't be afraid to step on it!"
The man in black roared angrily, and Chen Qian shrank back in amusement.
The man in black carried all the boxes away, and the old lady followed, leaving only Chen Qian in the entire wilderness. Looking at the deep and shallow black footprints of those people, it was even darker against the background of the night.
His nose was sore, and he looked up, hoping to hold back his tears.
"Chen Qian."
A deep voice sounded, pulling Chen Qian back from his grief, and he was also startled.
"Who!!"
Chen Qian, who was weak-hearted, panicked under his feet, stepped on a piece of soft mud and fell to the ground, and the wolf was overwhelmed.
Someone stretched out his hand to pull Chen Qian.
Chen Qian glanced at the hand, did not pull it, but stood up by himself, patted the dirt on his body, pretended to be relaxed, and wanted to leave.
Someone came to block his way, "My name is Jia Yi, if there is really someone in this world who can help you and your sister break free from the sea of suffering, it is only the King of Zhongshan." ”
"You are the King of Zhongshan?" Chen Qian didn't dare to think so, but the identity of the old lady and the others made him more and more suspicious, either rich or noble, and daring to do this under the roots of the imperial city, he must be a person as noble as the identity of the King of Zhongshan.
And the only enemy against them is the King of Zhongshan.
"I'm the King of Zhongshan? Didn't I say my name was Jiayi? The kid was immediately frightened and confused.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Qian has a ghost in his heart, so the whole person is also empty, but reality does not allow him to have a trace of cowardice, if he dies because of cowardice, his sister will only suffer a worse fate.
God, is it so difficult to make people survive and live in peace?
Jia Yi sat down on the smooth stone beside him, and Chen Qian just looked at him timidly, not knowing what he was going to do.
A Yi politely pointed to the place next to him, "Sit down and let's talk." ”
You can't escape if you can't escape, you can avoid the "sense of smell" of those people in black, and this person's martial arts must be good.
Chen Gan's head was about to explode, and he didn't bother to think about any more questions, so he just sat down. It's just that he has no spirit in his body, like a dead corpse that has had his soul drained.
Jia Yi looked at the direction where the old lady disappeared, "Make a deal with ghosts and gods, and in the end you can only win with ghosts and gods, not you, Chen Qian." ”
Jiayi's tone was very sincere.
Chen Qian lowered his head, he vaguely felt that the old grandmother and the others would not fulfill their promises as he thought, and also vaguely felt that the old grandmother and others would cross the river and demolish the bridge, and he also wanted to find something like a handle to hold in his hand, so that the old grandmother and the others could fulfill their promises. However, he couldn't think of any good way to do it, so he could only let himself become their puppet, make false accounts all day long, and send real gold and silver here, and then the old woman and a group of people would pull them away in a carriage.
"Why do you say that to me?" Chen Qian had no way out.
Jia Yi patted Chen Gan's shoulder, "Compared with you, I was born not much better, but I followed the right person and believed in the right person, so now I not only got rid of the previous predicament, but also lived a more comfortable life." Chen Qian, you're not stupid, you just need to meet the right person. For you, the group of people who just left is not the right person. They are the ones who are responsible for pushing your sister into the fire pit - the Maitreyates. ”
"No!!"
Chen Qian was speechless in a panic, they couldn't be Maitreya disciples, it couldn't be yes, "What is your purpose?" Why are you approaching me? You're not from the prince, you're the one the old woman sent to up, right? ”
Chen Qian held his head, extremely painful.
As soon as Jia saw Chen Qian like this, he also became sad, he knew the hearts of people living in the lower levels who just wanted to be stable for a lifetime, "Chen Qian, in fact, you already have the answer in your heart, you just don't want to admit it." I am Jia Yi, who follows the princess to protect the princess, and the palace is in trouble, and it is impossible for me to stand idly by. ”
"I didn't do anything, you don't use my words, I went to the workshop on time every day, and kept accounts according to the will of the prince and princess, I didn't do anything." Chen Qian suddenly felt that A Yi had come for the account book.
Jiayi's tone suddenly became cold, "If you are really a man, you should bear what you have done." The fact that the ledger has been changed is that it has been replaced, and no one can change this fact. ”
"What do you want?"
Chen Qian suddenly stood up and looked at Jia Yi vigilantly.
Jia Yi also stood up, but his expression was more pleasant, "Chen Qian, your sister has been ransomed, you won't be at ease if you put her in the palace, so I will send someone to send her to your residence." Don't worry about anyone disturbing her, as I've sent an elite guard to protect her. If you don't believe me, you can go back and watch it now. It's just that you need to figure out whether you want to continue to work for those ghosts. ”
With that, Jia flew away.
