Chapter 34: The Willing One Takes the Bait
Chapter 34: The Willing One Takes the Bait
On the second day after catching the "thief", although he had the task of "fishing", Zheng Jin still slept until the third pole of the day.
After all, this is a "fish" with brains, if you put on a good posture and wait, maybe people will hesitate to find another way.
Zheng Jin got up with a yawn, she squinted her eyes and her brain was groggy, she put on her shoes and socks, and walked outside to drink water, and was startled by the person sitting in the chair.
"Left Deputy Hall Master?" Zheng Jin was much more sober.
"Helper." Zuo Mu stood up and saluted her, and greeted her politely, "I wonder if my subordinates have disturbed the helper by rushing here?" ”
Zheng Jin shook her head, covered her mouth and yawned again, she looked at Zuo Mu and squinted.
"Then the subordinate will express his intentions directly." After talking with her for a long time about the old gang leader's old things and false care, Zuo Mu finally couldn't hold it back, and he now urgently needed to confirm that the thing was not here with "him".
"I heard that someone broke into my gang the night before and committed theft, and they have been detained?" Zuo Mu asked tentatively, while observing the expression on Zheng Jin's face.
"yes." Zheng Jin drank water by himself, then slumped in the chair and shook his head as if he hadn't woken up, "Caught two thieves, one of them was injured and jumped very lightly, and he also poisoned the court master." ”
Zuo Mu's heart made up his mind, and his expression relaxed: "Did those two steal anything?" Xu asked too bluntly and a bit of an idiot, he added, "Some important things have been stolen from my subordinates, I want to see if these two people did it?" ”
"The thief only stole my uncle's treasures and saw nothing else. I don't know what important things the left deputy hall master lost? Zheng Jin's eyes seemed to be about to squint and fall asleep, as if he had suddenly returned to his senses, "Okay, you mean something, could it be that you are also here for my uncle's treasure like Chao Jingyang?!" ”
Zuo Mu was stunned for a moment, and Chao Jingyang was a person all the way.
"It's not ......" Zuo Mu wanted to deny it, paused, and then turned a corner and explained, "My subordinates just lost a piece of jade left to me by my father, although it is only a piece of black jade, and the condition is not good, but it is a relic of my father, so I rushed to inquire." ”
"Wasn't it for the stone?" Zheng Jin knew what he wanted to ask, and he was very good at following his words, "What kind of Tianshi is it...... That's my uncle's lifelong collection! ”
"But I seem to have seen a black jade artifact...... Zheng Jin seemed to be trying to think about what it looked like.
"But a finger-thick black jade like fish scales?" Zuo Mu's eyes lit up, and his tone was slightly eager.
"It seems like that...... Hey, how do you know? Zheng Jin seemed surprised, "Is that really your father's relic?" ”
"Exactly!" Zuo Mu stood up directly excitedly, "Can you return it to your subordinates?" ”
"It's as it should be for you," Zheng Jin nodded well, and then looked at Zuo Mu with some embarrassment, "But the things that the thieves stole were all taken away by the hall master......"
"But the hall master was poisoned the night before yesterday, and he is recuperating for the past two days," Zheng Jin comforted him very considerately, "And I am still under house arrest by him now, and it is not easy to move around, so I will ask him for help when I see the hall master in two days?" ”
Zuo Mu seemed to be a little hesitant, but finally nodded: "In this way, the gang leader is worried." ”
Zuo Mu saluted and turned to leave, Zheng Jin sniffed, glanced at Zuo Mu's back again, and sat in place and drank tea leisurely.
"Is that him?" Behind the screen, Chao Jingyang walked out.
"When did the hall master arrive?" Zheng Jin was not surprised at all, and squinted with his feet crossed.
"When you said I came for the treasure." Chao Jingyang took out a paper bag and put it on the table next to Zheng Jin, "This is Zhenmei, this year's new tea." He sat down.
"This fake face is really good," Zheng Jin didn't even glance at the paper bag, "If I hadn't given some medicine before, I wouldn't have dared to confirm it." ”
"Disguise?" Chao Jingyang was not surprised, but glanced at Zheng Jin with some inquiry. Now it is certain that "he" is not Zhang Lantian, so "he" is Zheng Jin?
Yesterday, Chao Jingyang asked someone to check Zheng Jin and Zhang Lantian, Zhang Lantian checked and checked some painless pasts, only said that he grew up in the countryside and villages, and he had no culture, and Zheng Jin still couldn't dig up things. He was also a little annoyed before, it seemed that he had already been processed when he got this information slowly, but now it seems that there is no need, this person has the ability and no evil intentions, as long as he does not threaten the interests behind him, there is no reason to move "him" for the time being.
"That's right, the hall master," Zheng Jin knew that she had revealed too many things, but she didn't see Chao Jingyang's inquiring gaze, she said to herself about the follow-up of the plan, "I told that person that you were poisoned, as for whether he dares to take risks, I don't know, but I think there will be some small movements, the hall master can keep an eye on him, and pay more attention to his own 'safety'." ”
"I'll let you know when he's caught." Chao Jingyang didn't question her plan from beginning to end, and the two chatted about their opinions on other situations in the gang, ending the topic.
"Would you like to try this new tea?" Chao Jingyang didn't seem to be planning to leave, he firmly believed that Zheng Jin just hadn't drunk good tea, if he drank the tea he brought, he wouldn't look down on those defective products anymore, after all, this Zhenmei was a tribute.
"If you don't drink it, drinking tea will affect your sleep." Zheng Jin shook his head in confusion and blurted out refusal, regardless of the overnight tea he was drinking.
Chaojing Yangmo.
"But I think it would be a great thing in life to be able to eat green tea shortbread and charcoal-baked drunken chicken from the Welcome House for breakfast." Zheng Jin laughed sneeringly.
"Okay." Chao Jingyang nodded helplessly, "I'll call someone to send it later." ”
