Chapter 54: Pearls
"Who told you that there was no evidence?" Bai Jindao, "Didn't you testify?" β
She added by the way: "The shopkeeper Ning has come out to testify, even if Steward Yu doesn't say it, we can force it down." β
She had already made this idea from the beginning, she looked like she was joking, but in fact, she deliberately asked him to say this, if it was really necessary for Liu's Mansion after the salt shop opened, then she could forcibly press the Liu family's head to buy it.
It's a big deal to carry Ning Tonghua out, anyway, the prince knows that Ning Tonghua is in Jingnan City, and there is something to hide.
"As I told you before, I'm going back to Pengcheng, and I may have to leave tonight," Ning Tonghua said, "It seems that your mother is going to go out too?" How many days will it take to get back? β
Bai Jin responded and said: "A-Niang is going to go out in a few days, and she didn't tell me in detail, I will pay more attention to the situation in the salt mill at that time." β
Ning Tonghua nodded, and the other things he was most afraid of were people from the imperial court who came to find trouble.
If he has a relationship with Wei Yan, the imperial court will inevitably come to him, but he has only been there for a few days, so he should not have bad luck.
Out of Yueqing Building, Fang Yuan was waiting in the back in a carriage, and the two were separated here.
Bai Jin returned directly to Huangyan Village, and now only she and Bai Qi were left at home, which was a little lonely.
Although it was lonely, Bai Jin was also busy and dizzy, not only because she had ordered Fang Yuan to count only half of the treasury before, and the rest had to go to the little maid to count the remaining half by herself, and then when she was reviewing the front, Bai Jin found Fang Yuan's mistakes again, and wanted to re-order what had been cleared before, and then sent someone to transport it to Liu's mansion.
Bai Jin still valued this batch of salt, and took Bai Ji with him when transporting it, and the two of them found the only carriage that was not stuffed with salt bags.
When she got into the carriage, Bai Jin always felt that the little guy who was driving was a little rusty, and she didn't seem to have seen him when she hired someone.
The little guy also noticed Bai Jindi staring at him, turned around and said with a smile: "Originally, my brother should have come today, but he has something to do today, so I can only come for him." β
His accent was a little strange, and he didn't seem to be quite like someone from Jingnan's side, Bai Jin nodded and said, "It's okay, just send the salt over." β
"Yes, yes, yes." The man nodded hurriedly.
The expression on Bai Jin's face changed slightly, and he pulled Bai Qi and said, "Let's go." β
After the two got into the carriage, the convoy left Huangyan Village.
As soon as he got on the road, Bai Jin knocked on the carriage and asked, "How long will it take?" β
The little guy outside naturally heard her voice, and said in a muffled voice: "It will take an hour to say less, Miss Bai is in a hurry?" β
"No, it's just a casual question." Bai Jin closed his eyes and said, "The carriage is more stable and doesn't shake too much, I'm a little tired, and I want to sleep for a while." β
"Miss Bai, let's wait for the way back to sleep." The little guy outside said, "This mountain road is steep, I'm afraid it will affect your sleep." β
Bai Jin pursed his lips and said, "Don't you take this road when you come back?" β
The people outside hesitated a little, and only said after a while: "I also know another way back to the village, and I can take this one when I go back." β
"You're bothered." Bai Jin stretched out his hand and untied the beaded flower in his ear.
Bai Qian glanced at his master suspiciously, Bai Jin put his index finger to his lips to mean that she should not talk too much, and then took out a ribbon and pulled her hair together casually.
After arriving at the Liu family's warehouse, someone from the Liu family brought down the salt for them, and in order not to hinder those long-term workers, the two also got out of the carriage, but Bai Jin could feel that the coachman's dark gaze had been on her.
Although there were many people here, Bai Jin didn't dare to act rashly, she always felt that in addition to this person, there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at her in the dark.
It was a little creepy to see her, and her sixth sense told her that it wasn't that simple.
"Miss."
Bai Qi had already noticed that Bai Jin's state was a little wrong, and her lips were already a little pale at this time, so she shouted softly.
Only then did Bai Jin come back to his senses and smile reluctantly: "It's just a little cold." β
At this time, it was already spring, and the weather was not much cold, and it was as if she had just come out of the ice cellar.
"Girl, all the salt has been sent to the storeroom." Steward Yu didn't know when he came, holding a heavy ledger in his hand.
"Miss Bai, get in the car." When the coachman heard that, he followed.
Bai Jin took a step back, she wanted to run away, but she knew that even if he ran fast, he would not be as fast as the carriage.
The rest of the carriage did not leave, and the eyes of the coachmen sitting on the axles staring at her had long since changed.
She didn't just face to face with this coachman, but she had never seen all the coachmen! Not at all the people I invited.
"Get in the car, you can live another hour, if you don't get in the car, you can't live this alley." The little guy's face was a little more playful, and he looked at the two of them condescendingly.
Glancing at Steward Yu who was still standing at the door, Steward Yu said with a smile: "Miss Bai doesn't have to look at me like this, this matter has nothing to do with the Liu Mansion." I don't know these people at all. β
"Really?" Bai Jin's mind flashed, and he threw the bead flower in his sleeve in front of Steward Yu and said with a smile, "Since this is the case, then I will ask Steward Yu, no, it should be the Liu family, and send this bead flower to the Jingnan Hou Mansion." β
Zhuhua rolled on the ground twice, and just landed in front of Steward Yu.
"This ......"
"Let's go, Miss Bai," he ignored Bai Jin's blatant behavior, and had already taken a long sword from the roof of the car, "The last chance, it depends on how you choose." β
Bai Jin sighed deeply and said: "In this case, those who know the times are Junjie, let's go." β
"Miss, let's run." Bai Qi's legs were a little weak with fright, where had she ever seen this kind of posture?
She shook her head slowly, these people seemed to be doing what they said, I was afraid that the two of them would be split in half before they could run out of the alley.
"I can't run away," Bai Jin's mind was very clear, and she tried to negotiate, "This girl stays, I'll get into the carriage." β
The man scoffed, "Why did you leave your maid behind?" Let's wait for her to call someone to save you? Don't talk nonsense, get into the carriage. β
I didn't expect these people to say so much, they have all come to this point, and Bai Jin can only accept his fate: "Get in the carriage, we can live one more time for tea." β
His words were relaxed, but neither of them could laugh anymore, so they could only obediently get into the carriage.
After the carriage came out of the alley, it left from the west side of Jingnan City and headed for Pengcheng.
Bai Qian's whole body shook like a sieve, and Bai Jin patted her on the shoulderβsince the two of them got into the car, the people outside hadn't spoken a word.
