Zhang Jinghui motioned for Liao Wanyu to stay with the British, and then after the British and Liao Wanyu went downstairs, she pretended to tidy up the room and began to check room by room.
She had already noticed when she came in, and there were also Englishmen in the courtyard, so the man couldn't get out for a while, and now that the Englishman had gone downstairs, he had to find a way to hide upstairs.
Zhang Jinghui was not so afraid of this fugitive who was being pursued, she was very confident in her skills, but when she saw Gong Yanqing covering the man's mouth and holding an ice pick against the man's throat, she opened her mouth silently.
Like Liao Wanyu, she couldn't see any advantages of this scholarly man, but the scene in front of him at this moment could at least show that he was not really what they thought.
The dialogue between smart people is sometimes silent, Gong Yanqing glanced at Zhang Jinghui, and Zhang Jinghui immediately turned around and left.
It was indeed inconvenient for her to stay on the second floor, and if she did attract the attention of the British soldiers, it would only add to the trouble.
The British searched inside and out, but found nothing, and did not stop much, Liao Wanyu sent them away and closed the door, and still did not dare to let go of the breath in her heart.
"Sister Jing Hui?" Liao Wanyu hadn't seen Zhang Jinghui for several minutes, and she was a little worried in her heart.
They are just ordinary businessmen, and it is really not suitable to get involved in the local rights and wrongs of Nanyang.
Zhang Jinghui was halfway downstairs, saw Liao Wanyu walking in, sped up her steps, and finally walked to her side and grabbed her arm, "Miss, are those people gone?" Seeing Liao Wanyu nodding, she said again, "The person is upstairs, and Mr. Gong restrained it." ”
Gong Yanqing? Didn't this man go out in the morning? He didn't come back before the British came, so it should have been the British who came back during the search. He sneaked home quietly like this, and subdued the unknown fugitive, which really surprised Liao Wanyu.
Her surprised look was on her face, and Zhang Jinghui let out a sigh of relief, "Mr. Gong is really not an ordinary person. ”
After saying this, the two of them walked upstairs side by side, and when they arrived in front of the room just now, Zhang Jinghui knocked on the door, and even reported the door for fear that he would be too nervous and cause accidental injury, and then pushed the door in. As a result, the room was empty, and there was not even a single figure.
"Here's it."
Gong Yanqing was elusive, and suddenly made a sound that startled Liao Wanyu. When he opened the door behind them, neither of them knew at all.
"Is Mr. Gong okay?" Liao Wanyu looked at him, and saw that his suit was not wrinkled, and she really couldn't imagine how this person sneaked back to the house and how he restrained the fugitive.
Gong Yanqing spread her hands, turned around and walked back to the house first, Liao Wanyu and Zhang Jinghui also followed, only to see a young man who had been gagged had been tied to a chair.
"I haven't asked yet, together?"
Liao Wanyu nodded, and saw Gong Yanqing smiling at that person, and asked very politely, "I'll let go of your mouth now, but you have to think about what you want to say." ”
The man "hmm" for a while, and he knew that what he wanted to say was not a good thing to say, Gong Yanqing didn't care, just a hand gently stroked the back of his head, and then slid down to the erect neck and pinched it gently.
"Are you sure you want to waste your chance to scold me?"
The corners of his mouth were smiling, his tone was still kind, and even his eyes were still smiling, but Liao Wanyu felt that this scene was a bit weird.
It's like he has a natural affection for violence or danger, and instead of being afraid, he finds it exciting and funny.
The man was still struggling at first, but then Gong Yanqing pinched his neck, and he suddenly became honest. The first thing he did when he took the strip of tablecloth from his mouth was to take a few big breaths.
"Why are you chasing?"
"I had an affair with their chief's wife and was caught." The man replied quickly, and he didn't look like he was lying.
"It's exciting." Gong Yanqing took out a small dagger from the inner pocket of the placket of the suit, and the silver sheath was inlaid with several variegated gems that were not too large. He slowly pulled out the silver sheath, revealing the blade of the knife with the length of his index finger inside, "I see that your nails are a little long, do you want to help you fix them?" ”
Liao Wanyu understood in an instant what he wanted to do, after all, she had also seen some means when she was framed by Bai Jiaqian.
"Mr. Gong, shall we hand him over to the local British?"
Liao Wanyu didn't want anything terrible to happen in the house that someone else lent them to live.
Hearing that he was going to be handed over to the British, the man who was tied to the chair had a trembling look in his eyes, and looked at Liao Wanyu with a pleading look, "Don't, please don't hand me over to those British." I'll admit, I did lie just now, I actually ......"
Gong Yanqing raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "We don't want to listen to it now, no matter who you are, it has nothing to do with us, I stopped you before just because it was fun." Now that I don't think you're fun, I can call someone to take you away right away. ”
The man himself knew how he was subdued by Gong Yanqing. He thinks that his kung fu is not bad, and Gong Yanqing's skills will never be casually shot just because it is fun.
When he hid in this house before, it was because he had inquired in advance that this house had not been inhabited for a long time, and today when the things were in hand, he came here according to the opportunity, but found that there were people living there.
Based on the clothes and daily necessities in each room, he could deduce that there were five people in total, and that they were from Luzhou when looking at passports, and that they were merchants according to a handwritten record.
But he still didn't dare to trust them completely, and naturally, he didn't intend to tell the truth, "I don't lie to you, you can look in my trouser pocket, there are the watches and gems I stolen." That's why they're chasing me. Please don't give me to the Englishmen, I will, give you everything. ”
Gong Yanqing rummaged through it, and found a watch, a ruby necklace pendant and a few rings in his pockets one after another.
"Hey, this gem is good for color." Gong Yanqing shook the gem against the sun, and then he smiled slyly, "It's a pity, it's a fake." ”
The man was also obviously stunned when he heard the word "fake", "Impossible...... How can there be fakes in the Doge's house? ”
Gong Yanqing shrugged his shoulders and flipped the gem pendant in his hand, "We are ordinary people doing business, since you are messing with the governor, we dare not offend." He winked at the man, then pulled out a black film case from his trouser pocket, "Well, we'd better give this thing to the British with you, right?" ”
He didn't know when the film on his body was touched by Gong Yanqing, but at this moment, he saw the short black cylinder pinched in his hand, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his back.
That's a picture he managed to take, and there won't be another chance. He didn't trust them, but he had to tell the truth.
"This gentleman is really good, but he is not an ordinary businessman. My old Joe is also a man, even if that young lady is really a businessman, you are not. ”
Gong Yanqing didn't care what he said, "Compared to who I am, right now, who you are is more important, isn't it?" ”
Old Qiao was silent for a while, and when he looked up again, his expression completely changed, and he was very calm, "The things in the film are very important, I hope you can return them to me." After that, I can promise that I will never implicate you, okay? ”
The miniature camera is expensive and by no means used by ordinary reporters, Gong Yanqing has a guess about his identity, but he has not yet determined which aspect it is, and he does not plan to participate in it.
"Wouldn't it have been nice to talk like that earlier?" He stood the film on the edge of the table beside him, walked into Old Joe, leaned over to help him untie the rope, and said in his ear almost inaudibly, "I don't care which force you are, as long as you don't implicate us." ”
Old Joe nodded, "I haven't been there since today. ”
Liao Wanyu and Zhang Jinghui held hands and kept standing by and watching, they were not stupid, so they naturally could see that something was wrong.
After Lao Qiao left with the film, Liao Wanyu asked worriedly, "Is it okay to just tell him to leave?" ”
Gong Yanqing seemed to be full of confidence in this matter, "Don't worry, those British guys won't come again." The glass ashtray was cleaned very clean, and the room was vacant and no one used it, so he took out the gemstone pendant from the ashtray and handed it to Liao Wanyu, "Keep it, it's a paid visit today." ”
Liao Wanyu took the thing in a daze, and asked, "Isn't this fake?" ”
Gong Yanqing said "hey", "It's just talking." ”
Looking at the gem pendant in her hand, Liao Wanyu couldn't cry or laugh, such a big gem, I don't know how much it is worth, Gong Yanqing actually deducted it like this.
This man is really too bold.
"I can't ask for it, the man stole it."
Gong Yanqing glanced at Zhang Jinghui, "Then you will give it to Sister Zhang." ”
Zhang Jinghui didn't want it, she couldn't bear it, so in the end, the fast gem was temporarily lived in Liao Wanyu's box.
She put her things away, and suddenly remembered the letter sent by the manager of a commercial house after everyone went out earlier today, and ran downstairs to the kitchen to find Zhang Jinghui to report the good news.
Gong Yanqing may not have eaten lunch, she will be hungry, so she walked around the kitchen again, and Liao Wanyu saw that the two of them were there, and happened to talk together.
"I went to visit the firm with our products the day before yesterday, and although most of them rejected me, today a boss sent a letter to me, saying that he wanted to talk to me tomorrow."
This is the best news, there is no need to wait for the introduction of Wu Comprador, if they can also open up a market belonging to "Chang'e", it is naturally the best.
Otherwise, there was no need for her to trek to Nanyang, just act as an agent for Wu Comprador at the beginning.
Liao Wanyu is not afraid that Wu comprador will make profits from it, but there are still a lot of things she wants to do in the future, and now there is an opportunity, there is someone willing to recommend, and she has no reason to miss it.
