Chapter 15 Chamber of Commerce
Since that strange dream that day, Bian Che began to gradually realize the quiet change in his mood, and the pleasant mood when his gaze touched Qi Niang made him feel more and more abnormal. This kind of change was something he didn't expect, and while he was enjoying this pleasure, a stronger sense of rejection and guilt came with it, and the inner contradiction made Bian Che's thoughts about Bai Yuying even stronger. thought that his feelings for Bai Yuying had been exhausted in three years, but he didn't expect Bai Yuying to appear in his sight at this time, and once again ignited the feelings buried in his heart.
It must have been Bai Yuying who annoyed him last time that made him have this inexplicable hallucination about other people.
One day, when Yu Mingyang went to see Bian Che, he saw Bian Che standing in the corridor and watching, looking unpredictable. As he looked over, he saw that a chase between two people and a cat was being staged in the yard, and Qi Niang and Ye Sixteen took turns to fight lightly before catching the white cat. When I looked closely, I found that the kitten was all wet. It seems that the cat ran away when the two of them were bathing the cat. Bian Che seemed to be stunned by Qi Niang, he had always heard all directions, but he didn't hear Yu Mingyang's footsteps.
Yu Mingyang coughed, Bian Che noticed him, and glanced at Qi Niang and Ye Sixteen, who were hurriedly pacifying the kittens in the yard, and his tone was indistinguishable: "The person has found it?" ”
"Yes, landlord." Yu Mingyang hung his head, without any expression, much more silent and respectful than usual.
"I heard you say that that person is your former best friend?" Bian Che didn't look at him, but focused on staring at the wrench in his hand, as if thinking about something.
Yu Mingyang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Landlord, please rest assured, it's all in the past." ”
Bian Che hooked his lips without a smile and stood with his hands in his hands, "That's good, let's go back to the helm." ”
Yu Mingyang glanced at the courtyard, "Then do you want to call Little Seventh Aunt ......?"
"No, just let her stay here in case the old lady has something to explain. You ......" Bian Che glanced at Yu Mingyang and said, "You can stay too, I don't think you want to see some scenes." After speaking, he glanced at Yu Mingyang meaningfully.
Yu Mingyang just hesitated to say something, but saw that Bian Che had already left on his own.
As soon as Bian Che returned to the helm of the Thousand Machine Building, everyone hung their hearts, because they didn't know what kind of terrible punishment the weak woman who was captured today would face. Although this kind of thing has been seen a lot for a long time, today, it is a big taboo.
Nine sheets in the machine. A blood-stained woman was chained to a damp, moldy stake by four chains, her face was supposed to be stunning, but the left side of her face had been festered by venom. There was no place on her body where her clothes were intact, they were all covered with tiny silk threads, and if she moved, those barely visible threads would cut through her skin. The woman hung her head, oblivious to Bian Che's approach.
When approaching the woman, a strong and rancid smell of blood rushed to her nose, and Bian Che took a sharp knife to pick open the placket of the woman's chest, and then took out a piece of cloth from her clothes with two fingers and unfolded it to look at it. Suddenly, he laughed, threw the cloth to the person on the side, and then said, "Letter to Yu Mingyang, you want to ask him for help, huh?" Bian Che said as he wiped his hands with the handkerchief handed by his hand.
The woman finally raised her head, and the reflection in her pupils was Shura in hell, and she looked at Bian Che in front of her in fear.
Bian Che looked at her with a smile and said, "Do you know who revealed your whereabouts?" ”
The woman looked at him without speaking, but her eyes moved.
"Yu Mingyang said that you have a brother in your hometown, and you should flee there, so Eleven sent someone to find your brother, and sure enough, he found you." Bian Che's tone was calm, as if he was just gossiping with the person in front of him.
The woman's body shook visibly, and she cursed viciously with a hideous countenance: "You crazy people, you must not die a good death!" ”
Bian Che's eyes were cold, "Gu Yiyi, if you don't want to die too painfully, it's best to tell me the truth." Who told you to leak the Huaiyi rudder? ”
The woman stared at Bian Che viciously, sneered and said, "There are also things in this world that you can't do?" Let me tell you, the matter of Huaiyi rudder has nothing to do with me, I just want to escape from you devils who don't understand feelings, don't think that everyone is as treacherous as you! ”
Bian Che's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, like an enraged lion, and he said to the people around him: "Pry open her mouth for me, don't let her die!" Use whatever hurts the most! ”
"Yes." A strange voice echoed in the secret room, and a woman walked towards Gu Yiyi with a silk thread in her hand, and then wrapped the thread around her fingers. Before Gu Yiyi could react to what she was going to do, the woman suddenly took one end of the silk thread in her mouth, then grabbed the other end and slowly tightened it.
"Ten lines around the fingers are soft, it should be the most painful." As soon as the woman's words fell, a heart-rending wail came from the secret room.
After Bian Che came out of the nine machines, his face was unusually ugly for some reason, Ye Shiyi was a little frightened, and hesitated for a moment before following.
"Eleven, in your opinion, will there be any connection between Yu Mingyang and Gu Yiyi, as well as Huaiyi?" Bian Che asked casually, the expression on his face was dark.
Ye Shiyi saw that Bian Che was staring at him a little timidly, snorted, and said vaguely: "My subordinates are foolish, if Yu Mingyang still cares about his old feelings, he shouldn't let Gu Yiyi die." ”
Bian Che glanced at her and said, "Gu Yiyi is simple-minded and affectionate, if there is no one to rely on to instigate her, she will not run away, let alone betray Ye Sixteen, who treats them as family." ”
"Then why did the landlord punish Gu Yiyi like this, does it depend on whether Yu Mingyang will come to save her?" Ye Shiyi was puzzled.
Bian Che didn't answer, propping his head to look at her, but Ye Shiyi felt that his back was chilled by those secretive eyes.
A few days later, in a post house in Windy City, a caravan from the capital settled here. The leader is Jin Sanye, whom Jin Qiyu relies on the most, who has led the caravan for more than 30 years and is a conscientious and stubborn old man. At this moment, he was arguing with the people who came to the station. When the quarrel was endless, the person who joined the joint actually pulled out his sword from his body, which frightened Jin Sanye and fell to the ground, but fortunately, the guards of the caravan stepped forward to stop him, so he avoided a fight.
After Yu Mingchen heard his subordinates report the situation, he hurriedly rushed to the post station overnight to compensate Jin Sanye. It turned out that the cause of the incident was that the connector of the Windy City Post Station asked the caravan to leave three truckloads of goods, but Jin Sanye refused, and the two sides had a dispute. In previous years, the caravan that went to the Western Regions to deliver goods would divide the rudder into two truckloads of goods to Windy City according to the custom, and this year, I don't know which new one is ignorant, the lion opened his mouth and said that he wanted to add another car, and Jin Sanye scolded him a few words, and the two sides almost fought.
Seeing that Yu Mingchen came to apologize sincerely, Jin Sanye was angry, and he no longer cared about the people who split the rudder, but he still had a heart.
In the middle of the night, the merchants of the inn had already fallen asleep, and the wind was blowing in the windy city, and the courtyard was rustling, and it sounded like the sound of leaves beating against the windows. A small figure stood by the window, secretly observing the movement in the courtyard. Several dark shadows left in a hurry, and the people upstairs suddenly disappeared. After a while, the man came to the carriage in the courtyard, lifted the cloth from the cart, and took out an object from the box underneath.
In the moonlight, the thing exudes a cold color, and it is a hidden weapon printed with a plum blossom pattern.
Bian Che received the news from Windy City two days ago, and as soon as he finished reading the letter, someone outside the door ran in a panic. Bian Che glanced at the door, his eyes moved to the letter in his hand again, and said without any expression on his face: "What's the matter?" ”
"Landlord, something happened to the Chamber of Commerce, the caravan that went to the Western Regions to transport goods was intercepted by the people of the government in the area of Windy City, and the goods on the carriage were somehow replaced with hidden weapons, and now the big shopkeeper is mediating with the government, and Qi Niang was also called by the big boss, let me inform you."
Bian Che put the letter in his hand on the lamp and burned it, then stood up and walked out of the door, and said to his subordinates: "Tell Yu Mingchen to roll over from Windy City quickly." ”
When Bian Che arrived at the Golden Mansion, he happened to see Qi Niang leaving the Golden Mansion and then getting into Yu Mingyang's carriage. He paused for a moment in the direction of the carriage before stepping into the house.
As soon as the carriage drove away, Yu Mingyang asked worriedly, "Seventh girl, how are things going?" ”
Qi Niang looked at him, her bright eyes were motionless, and she replied truthfully: "Jin Sanye sued the old lady Yu Helmsman for embezzling the property of the Chamber of Commerce, and the communiqué personal vendetta was done on the goods, but the smuggling of weapons is a crime, if both sides say that someone has done it, who do you say the landlord will believe?" ”
When Yu Mingyang heard her say this, he immediately hung his head and supported his forehead with both hands, looking very remorseful. "I told my brother not to be so greedy for money, he just wouldn't listen, if I stayed in Windy City, remind him, let him pay attention, maybe this kind of thing won't happen! But when it comes to smuggling weapons, I didn't expect him to do that. ”
Qi Niang looked at the man who blamed herself in front of her calmly, her brows furrowed imperceptibly, and she spit out a sentence for a long time: "Do you think that a person who is so cautious as Lord Yu will be so accidentally caught?" ”
Yu Mingyang raised his head, looking puzzled, "What do you mean by what the seventh girl said?" ”
Qi Niang looked away, looked outside the carriage, and said, "It's nothing, I'm not familiar with Lord Yu Helm, you know him better than me, don't you?" ”
"That's true, I actually don't believe that my brother would be so stupid, but the goods happened in the Windy City, even if my brother didn't do anything, the landlord will blame my brother for not doing his duty. What can I do? Yu Mingyang muttered to himself, falling into sorrow again.
“…… It's not something you and I can change. Before this matter is investigated, I don't think the landlord will do anything to the helmsman, you still have to wait for the news. "Qi Niang is not used to comforting people, and I don't know how to make him feel a little more comforted.
No one can shake the decision made by Bian Che, and if he intercedes for anyone, it is the same crime. Yu Mingyang shouldn't be stupid enough to touch Bian Che's hard nail.
