Chapter 161: Discoveries in the Clues
When the sky was slightly hazy, 'Wulitou' ended the busy night and entered the calm before the dawn came.
Yin Ren neatly stacked the last bag of goods on the top, patted the dust on his body, washed his hands with the water brought by others, and then put down his sleeve and went to Zhao Xian, who was concentrating on transcribing the current accounts.
Zhao Xian's brows became tighter and tighter, as if she was thinking about an extremely important matter, and there was an idea in her mind that was clearly about to come out, but it was incomprehensible. Zhao Xian took a deep breath, calmed down, and turned to the front page of the account book, and a pen account instantly flashed in her mind as if she was alive.
When she finished scanning the account again, her eyes stopped somewhere in the account book, she silently wrote down the number, turned to the first few pages, and counted the dozen or so numbers in her heart, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is that ......?" Zhao Xian thought to herself: "If you can check the previous accounts, you will be able to know more information, but I am a newcomer, and I can't see those account books that are closely guarded." β
"Steward!" At this time, Yin Ren's voice came from her side, Zhao Xian was in her heart, she knew that Yin Ren must be reminding her, and the pen moved again, transcribing the last account, drying the ink on the paper, and slowly closing it, Fang stood up and looked up, and saw that the steward was looking at today's accounts by the side of the account room, and hurriedly picked up the account book and walked towards the account room.
Zhao Xian, who had been busy all night, followed Yin Ren back to her temporary residence, although her body was tired, her mind was extremely active.
Entering the house, Yin Ren latched the door with his backhand, and at this time, the sky was already shining, and it was reflected in a blur through the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, which made the room hazy, and Zhao Xian's face was also covered with a layer of mist, but it couldn't hide the joy on her face.
"But what did you find?" Yin Ren asked with a smile, came to the table and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhao Xian.
"Not bad! Sure enough, it was not in vain, and I was able to find clues. Zhao Xian took the teacup and drank it all, only to find that she didn't seem to have drunk a sip of water all night, all because of her high concentration, she forgot her thirst.
"I've learned something too." After Yin Ren finished speaking, he walked to the corner of the wall, squatted down, looked carefully, stretched out his hand and dug a few times, and touched it again, and actually took out a note covered with dust, he shook the paper, unfolded it, squinted through the not very bright morning light, and after a while, smiled slightly.
"There has been movement in the nursing home, and I think there will be something in the next two days." Yin Ren looked at Zhao Xian's slightly tired face with some pity, "If this matter goes well, we can leave here tomorrow night." β
"You and I came the night before and left tomorrow night, will it alert them?" Zhao Xian was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, even if it's alert? Are they going to stop? Now the situation still has one thing that forces them to speed up their actions. Yin Ren suddenly found that Zhao Xian's lips were slightly pale and her lips were a little chapped, so he lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhao Xian, while pressing her down on the chair.
"And when will it happen? Now except for the ...... of King Chu, there is nothing else to make them so anxious? Zhao Xian said curiously.
"That's it! In order to inherit the throne, the three brothers secretly arranged for a long time. Your eldest brother must have come to Xiangyang with the emperor's will, and he thought that there was already a candidate for the title, but no one knew about this candidate. And if they don't get rid of the most threatening opponent in advance, if they wait for the king of Chu, the person who inherits the title will be a foregone conclusion, and it will be even more difficult to change it. Yin Ren analyzed.
Zhao Xian listened to Yin Ren's analysis, and was quite surprised in her heart, she never knew that Yin Ren had put so much effort into this matter, if it was really for her ......, thinking in her heart, she couldn't help but look up at Yin Ren, after being disguised, Yin Ren's appearance was obviously ordinary, only the smiling eyes were like a pool of spring water, flowing with concern and pity, looking at her gently, enough to drown people.
Zhao Xian's heart jumped, she reached out to take the cup of tea, lowered her head and took a sip, thinking in her heart that this tea must have been made by Yin Ren before going out, and she couldn't help but be more and more grateful for his carefulness.
"What have you found in your accounts tonight?" Yin Ren saw that Zhao Xian was a little uncomfortable, so he hurriedly opened his eyes, slowly sat down and asked.
"When I transcribed the accounts of the past few days, I found that unlike in the past, in the column of expenditure in recent days, the most frequent is food, but the whereabouts are not clear, only the word "dock" is written on it, if I have not guessed wrong, this "dock" is Zhao Yunsheng once reminded me of the "bamboo dock".
"If the food has been spent frequently in recent days, it must be the 'Xiuzhuwu' grain, which also means that there must be changes in the near future, and the 'Xiuzhuwu' may be the lair of the 'Jiaolong Gang', if you can find the 'Xiuzhuwu', and then the government will send troops to go, the 'Jiaolong Gang' will be destroyed, but their gang leader is very mysterious......" Yin Ren didn't finish speaking, and suddenly saw Zhao Xian's strange expression, his heart moved, and asked: "Could it be that you know?" β
Zhao Xian tried her best to suppress her indignation, gritted her teeth and said: "That person's voice, I won't forget, if he thinks he is hiding it deeply, it is really a big mistake, but I don't know that whenever I hear the voice, I will know that he is that person." β
A fire suddenly rose in Yin Ren's heart, he didn't know what happened to Zhao Xian in the 'Extreme Paradise', but from all kinds of clues, he guessed that the owner of the 'Extreme Paradise' might be the leader of the 'Jiaolong Gang'.
And when he went to the 'Paradise of Extremes' to save Zhao Xian that day, he saw that she was extremely weak, and he only thought that Zhao Xian's body was damaged, and although she was healed by her senior brother afterwards, she still did not recover as before. Now seeing her expression, and Zhao Xian deliberately avoided talking about 'Extreme Paradise' a few days ago, I couldn't help but think, what happened to a woman to be so angry?
Yin Ren faintly guessed, but he didn't dare to inquire more, but he just had another layer of pity for Zhao Xian, and only secretly swore in his heart that he would not let go of the person who violated Zhao Xian by all means.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stand up, walked to Zhao Xian's side gently, and slowly stroked the top of Zhao Xian's head with his hand, when his fingers touched the ends of her slightly dry hair, Yin Ren sighed secretly, and his hand became more and more gentle.
Whenever Zhao Xian thought of the humiliation she had suffered in the 'Paradise of Extremes', she couldn't wait to draw a sharp sword and stab at that person, but her strength was not strong enough, so she became more and more angry.
She was trying to control the emotion, trying to keep her calm and sober thoughts, when a warm hand fell on top of her head, and slid from the top of her head to the ends of her hair, which stopped when she reached the ends, but slowly brushed them up. Zhao Xian's heart warmed, and her eyes looked at Yin Ren with gratitude, but she was grabbed by deeper eyes and looked into her eyes.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and after a while, Zhao Xian blinked and said, "That person is the eldest son of the King of Chu, Zhao Yunjin." β
"So it's him?!" Yin Ren pondered for a moment and sneered: "'Extreme Paradise', 'Nursing Home', and 'Jiaolong Gang' are really cunning rabbits. β
"Tomorrow night, you and I will leave Wulitou and go to the 'Xiuzhuwu' with the delivery ship to explore." Yin Ren's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "Presumably the third prince has already started?" β
