Chapter Ninety-Five: The Hearts of the People Are Unpredictable
After Jiang Chuan returned to the post house, he washed up first, and the whole person was more sober.
After asking, knowing that the foreign girl Mo Dai who was rescued today was already asleep at the moment, Jiang Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn't wanted to get news from her across the ocean, he wouldn't have been okay with kindness.
Send someone to find Bai Jinxiu, he has something to say.
As soon as he turned on the lamp, Bai Jinxiu came over.
Jiang Chuan briefly said the agreement he reached with Li Yongnian, and Bai Jinxiu thought for a while and said, "He seems to be still holding a wait-and-see attitude. 20,000 stone is a little reluctant. ”
Jiang Chuan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for both of them, and chuckled, "It's okay. Sooner or later, he will be willing. Although 20,000 stones of grain and grass is not much, it is not too little, what I want is an attitude from him, at least I know that he does not dare to make small moves behind my back. ”
Bai Jinxiu nodded: "This is also true." ”
"And I'm even more relieved to have you here watching him. However, there is one person you have to look up. Jiang Chuan then told me about saving Mo Dai today.
"You mean let me look up this bearded girl?" Bai Jinxiu's expression was very calm, but Jiang Chuan, who had been paying attention to her reaction, was a little overwhelmed.
In fact, she had already learned about this matter from Shen Lian's mouth, and Shen Lian's appearance was also the result of her arrangement.
"Don't think about it, I just saved her at the right time, and I want to learn some news from her across the ocean, which is important for our future." Jiang Chuan himself explained.
Bai Jinxiu looked at him with a smile: "I didn't think much about it, I think you thought too much." ”
Jiang Chuan was a little embarrassed, as if this was really the case.
"Actually, I don't need you to say it, I've already arranged for someone to check on this Hu Nu and Wan Chunlou." Bai Jinxiu said suddenly. Jiang Chuan was a little surprised, and muttered, "You are moving so fast?" ”
"When you come to Datong, I will pay attention to everyone who appears around me. People's hearts are unpredictable, and they must be guarded against. Bai Jinxiu's voice was calm.
"Don't you ask the people in Wanchunlou's nursing home and the prefect's yamen how we deal with it?" Bai Jinxiu continued.
"You just know this in your heart, since the Black Ice Platform is handed over to you, you can call the shots." Egawa-do.
"Well, I'll tell you the results when I have the results." Bai Jinxiu said.
Jiang Chuan was suddenly a little moved, and said for a while: "You did even better than I imagined." ”
Bai Jinxiu smiled, revealing a wisp of shyness that a girl should have, and when she saw Jiang Chuan's heart suddenly moved, she instantly thought about whether she would show a girlish attitude only in front of herself.
After all, intelligence work is to be neighbors with the shadows, and it has a great impact on people's emotional character. It was indeed a bit cruel for her to do this kind of thing as a woman, and Jiang Chuan felt a trace of unbearability in her heart.
Bai Jinxiu seemed to sense his emotions, and suddenly said softly: "You don't have to worry about me, I'm not as fragile as you think." ”
Jiang Chuan was silent, reached over the table and pulled the back of her cold hand and patted it gently, and said softly, "Thank you." ”
Bai Jinxiu's heart trembled, lowered her head and said, "I owe you, I can help you repay your kindness." ”
Neither of them spoke again, except for the sudden beeping of the candle on the table, stretching their shadows long in the candlelight, and the two shadows were entangled on the ground, but they looked as if they were snuggling up to each other.
"How much do you know about the owner behind Dong Xiangchun?" Jiang Chuan suddenly asked.
Bai Jinxiu looked up at him and said, "Why are you interested in Dong Xiangchun?" ”
"Because there is something strange about Dong Xiangchun that has aroused my interest, I want to meet the owner behind it." Egawa-do.
Bai Jinxiu suddenly fell silent, and only after a moment did he whisper: "I will try my best to investigate, but the owner of Dong Xiangchun is very mysterious, and few people know where he is." ”
"I've heard, you just do your best. It all depends on fate. Jiang Chuan nodded.
The two of them were suddenly speechless for a while, and the atmosphere quieted down. In the end, it was Bai Jinxiu who broke the silence, looked at Jiang Chuan and asked, "How are you going to place this bearded girl?" ”
"I haven't figured it out yet." Jiang Chuan thought for a while.
"Well, you're different now, and a lot of people are looking at you and want to put eyeliner next to you. There are even people who have more vicious thoughts, so be careful. Bai Jinxiu said slowly.
Jiang Chuan understood what she meant, nodded with a smile and said, "I know." ”
"Alright, I'll go back." Bai Jinxiu got up and was about to leave.
Jiang Chuan said in the back: "It's so late, it's better to stay for one night." ”
After finishing speaking, he found that Bai Jinxiu's body was stunned, and then he felt that his words might have caused a misunderstanding, and explained with a wry smile: "I mean let Yicheng arrange another room, and you can stay for one night." It's not too late to go back tomorrow morning. ”
Bai Jinxiu relaxed, turned around and said, "In Datong, we still try to avoid some people. I'm gone, it's time for curfew in a minute. ”
Jiang Chuan understood what she meant, after all, she was doing secret work, so she had to say, "Then be careful on the road." Today I asked Shen Lian to come to the post house to see me tomorrow, I will knock it, and you will use it more conveniently in the future. ”
Bai Jinxiu nodded to indicate that she understood, got up, put on her cloak, lifted the curtain and walked out.
………………
The next day, Jiang Chuan had just had breakfast, and Bai Mu came to tell him that Shen Lian was asking to see him outside.
Jiang Chuan let him in, and after a while, Shen Lian bowed down and walked in, and as soon as he entered the house, he knelt down on one knee and bowed loudly to Jiang Chuan: "Shen Lian greets Master Hou." ”
Shen Lian knelt on the ground, he didn't hear the sound of getting himself up, but he could feel a majestic gaze staring at him with scrutiny, he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, and it didn't take long for a layer of fine sweat to ooze out of his entire back, this is winter.
He has already learned the ruthlessness and thunderbolt methods of the Jiang family army from the Black Ice Platform, and the Wu'an Hou in front of him is a tough and tough Tartar, who has repeatedly defeated the Tartars, and the people who have been killed are not at the same level as him who relies on the prestige of Jinyiwei to bully the people.
The so-called domineering spirit is actually because of the excessive difference in status, and the inferior person faces the superior person is a kind of mental illusion. If Shen Lian didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, it would be fine. It's just that once you know that this is a murderer, you will naturally have fear in your heart.
"Shen Lian, do you resent us in your heart, thinking that we ruined your splendid future and forcibly pulled you onto our ship?" After a while, until Shen Lian felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, the young marquis in front of him finally spoke.
But the content of these words made Shen Lian's heart sink, his crotch trembled, and he almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly raised his head and said loudly: "Master Hou, Shen Lian has never thought about it like this......"
