Jiang Tingye followed his footsteps and walked out for a long time before he realized it and said, "Gambling house, I've been there before." ”

Lu Ran was amused by his tone, I haven't seen him for a few years, Jiang Tingye has also grown a lot, and during the time when he hasn't rushed back, this kid must have made a lot of trouble in the city, but he doesn't have so much time to understand them one by one.

Jiang Wan is no longer in this world, and Jiang Tingye's sadness is no less than any of them, or even more.

But if he was able to pull through, smile like this, and try to do what he could, he had grown very well.

"Have you been? What do you think? Lu Ran didn't think much about it, Jiang Tingye's temperament couldn't be idle, and it was understandable that he would find some interesting places to go around.

Jiang Tingye thought about it for a while, frowned, and said: "There are so many people and they stink, it's not interesting, I really don't know what is going on in the minds of the people who have lost their lives in it." ”

It's just that people like Shen Jin like to find their own sense of existence in that kind of place, what a person is like in his bones, in fact, many things can be seen at a glance.

Lu Ran did not agree or oppose Jiang Tingye's words, everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle, and it is not easy to live their own life.

Just as it is never possible to truly empathize with each other, how can we understand what is going on in the minds of others?

"What kind of water are you talking about, it can't be a gambler in a gambling house who makes a fortune from gambling, right?" Jiang Tingye obviously didn't realize who Chen Shangshui was now, he began to think wildly in his mind, and he was not afraid of Lu Ran laughing at him, he would say whatever he wanted, "If that's the case, I'm An Jihe, and I can't agree with him, the two can't talk together, what do you do?" But if he's all the way, maybe he can really ask something for us, hey, suddenly I can't say whether it's good or bad. ”

Jiang Tingye sighed several times, Lu Ran held back a smile next to him, I really don't know how he thought about it, normal people generally talk about business families, how can they only think that Chen Shangshui is the person who runs a gambling house, right?

However, if this way of thinking changes, it will not be Jiang Tingye, the only one in the world.

Seeing that the roads around him were becoming more and more familiar, Jiang Tingye clasped his hands together: "Isn't this a coincidence?" That's it, this big gambling house, I just came here a few days ago. ”

Right here, he chopped off two of Shen Jin's fingers, telling Shen Kang to see the current situation clearly.

Jiang Tingye looked familiar, and patted Lu Ran's shoulder: "You said it was here!" Ripe! I'm very familiar! ”

With that, he lifted his legs and walked inside.

Lu Ran stared at him, probably knowing that something had happened to Jiang Tingye here, and he didn't break it, so he followed Jiang Tingye and walked inside.

Probably because Jiang Tingye's actions last time were too appalling, and he was remembered clearly up and down the gambling house, if this master came again, he would be the focus of attention, and someone would follow him all the time, lest the fingers of the boy be cut off again.

I haven't seen Jiang Tingye these days, and the gambling house has breathed a sigh of relief several times, thinking that this master will not come again, but who knows that it will be there.

The thugs near the station door were the first to recognize Jiang Tingye, he was startled at first, and then began to frantically gesture to the people in various positions.

Before Jiang Tingye led Lu Ran to the place where he went down the stairs, several people came up with smiling faces: "Master, are you here?" You see... What do you want to do today? ”

Lu Ran raised his eyebrows, taking in the expressions of these thugs who were laughing more ugly than crying.

Yes, this is not only a trouble, this is a frightening person, it is worthy of the Jiang family's Jiang Xiaogongzi who only Jiang Wan can cure.

Jiang Tingye grinned, as soon as he said that he didn't have fun, he came to find someone, and the smiles on the faces of those thugs couldn't be maintained, and he twitched vigorously.

This master shouldn't be looking for someone to chop his hands again, right?

Sheng Shangjing's son-in-law, how many are he going to chop?

That Shen Gongzi has never seen it again, but this master has no, and everyone naturally knows what the power is.

But what can you know? I didn't dare to really stop him from entering, and I wasn't tired of it.

However, Jiang Tingye stopped at the staircase, turned his face to look at the thug closest to him and said, "I won't go in, you are familiar here, and you often come to your gambling house, is there one called." Call.. ”

Jiang Tingye couldn't remember the name, so he poked Lu Ran on the side with his elbow.

Lu Ran naturally took over: "Chen Shangshui." ”

Several thugs looked at each other and looked at each other, a little confused.

Jiang Tingye sighed: "Don't tell me you don't know." ”

He was clearly a threat, Lu Ran smiled helplessly, and he was messing around.

Jiang Ting's thug in front of him came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Master. . . We do have a man named Chen Shangshui here, but he didn't come here to gamble for money, he was in charge of the house, and he saw it last time, do you remember? ”

Jiang Tingye was stunned for a moment, and then looked back at Lu Ran with wide eyes: "Brother Lu Ran, the Chen Shangshui you are talking about, shouldn't he open a gambling house?!" ”

Although he realized it later, he still reacted, and Lu Ran smiled gently: "Yes." ”

Jiang Tingye made a big fuss: "Then you... Why didn't you just remind me? ”

After speaking, he was really annoyed in the face of Lu Ran's face, so he could only give up, turn around and pat the thug on the shoulder: "Then, I bother you to ask your head of the house to come out and talk." After speaking, he pointed outside, "I'll wait for him in the small restaurant outside." ”

After all, a gambling house is not a good place to talk.

Seeing that Jiang Ting was gone, a group of people came back to their senses and hurriedly passed the word.

The small restaurant opposite only has two floors, but the box is very gorgeous, and the small teapot served is also very delicate and ingenious.

As soon as he sat down, Jiang Tingye felt that he was a little hungry, and he wanted to talk left and right, so it was better to talk while eating, filling his stomach was the king.

Chen Shangshui came a little slowly, Jiang Ting's dishes at night were basically ready, and Chen Shangshui was seen at the open box door.

He was the first to see Lu Ran, a little surprised, and then looked at Jiang Tingye.

However, Chen Shangshui quickly adjusted his mood, and after the box door closed, he sat down between the two.

He was obviously surprised by Lu Ran's sudden return, but after thinking about it, he felt that it should be so. It was just an old friend who said a few words, and then his eyes fell on Jiang Tingye: "At that time, I was still thinking, which little son of this family looked at the face, but acted so neatly, it turned out to be the little son of the Jiang family, Chen was rude." ”

Jiang Tingye's mouth didn't stop, and he replied vaguely: "It's easy to say, I also uphold justice, punish adultery and eliminate evil, and I don't really want to smash your field." ”

He ate well, and he didn't forget to beckon Lu Ran and Chen Shangshui to eat some, it seemed that he was really hungry.

Lu Ran can't forget the right thing to do, he casually set a thing to turn to the "Hanzhu" trading in the underground black market, now it is difficult for the government to come forward to contact the real leader, the underground organization is photophobic, and is hostile to anyone with an official background, the scene of guerrilla warfare makes them particularly cautious, and the speed of withdrawal is also very fast, so if you want to really get close to the person who can speak, Chen Shangshui has been working in the gambling house for many years, and there must be a way.

Chen Shangshui listened in silence, and only asked Lu Ran: "Is it important to you?" Is it worth it that you owe me such a favor? ”

Lu Ran thought about it, although Jiang Yu hadn't even had time to answer all his questions about these things.

But maybe Jiang Wan was enough to make him nod.

got Lu Ran's affirmative answer, and Chen Shangshui was also very righteous and didn't ask too many questions.

He is a businessman himself, and it is basic to find a way, and he has seen a lot of ghosts and gods from all sides over the years, as Lu Ran said, except for him at the moment, no one can really follow the rules of the road and get the news without any rumors.

Not even Anjihe.

Anyone can pay someone to buy and sell.

But this kind of thing is intelligence, and if you don't have some reputation and access to it, you can't get it.

Buying and selling and intelligence are always two different things.

The person who buys and sells goods here in "Hanzhu" does not necessarily know who the person who sells it to himself is, but the person who sells it must know who the person who buys his things is.

There are lines in the line, but they are not really impermeable.

Chen Shangshui didn't dare to say too much, he poured himself a glass of wine, touched the wine glass with Lu Ran, drank it himself, and then put the wine glass back on the table: "Since you have spoken to me in person, I naturally have no reason to refuse you, give me a few days, and I will try." ”

·

Jiang Yu and Qi Dao entered the palace in the same carriage, and both of them were silent all the way, and no one took the lead in breaking this silence.

Before meeting Qi Ying, Jiang Ying thought of a lot of words to describe the dirtiness of this kind of business, Guo Zhenzhen wanted to raise a big blue fish, and I don't know how many corpses were bought and sold through Guo Kun's hand.

But when it really came to Qi Ying, all the angry accusations and even scolding turned into statements of facts.

Jiang Ying felt that she shouldn't be so angry because of people and things that were not worth it at all.

Time will give her the punishment she deserves.

But Qi Ying's reaction was a little more intense than Jiang Ying thought.

may be because it was too shocking to the previous cognition, what the 'Hanzhu' business was revealed by Jiang Ying, and Qi Ying almost couldn't restrain her anger the moment she reacted.

Everyone was reluctant to reverie how the corpses bought by Guo Kun were disposed of, how they were transported into the palace, and how Guo Zhenzhen raised the fish in front of everyone.

Although these things will always be revealed to the world one day, the speculation before the truth is revealed is undoubtedly the most torturous and disgusting.

Qi Yingtie's face turned blue, who would have thought that just because of a fish, a little suspicion of the noble Zhao who had been buried for two years, would involve such a shocking thing.

He clenched his fists and was silent for a long time, all kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, and finally he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and everything returned to calm, to the monstrous waves brewing under the calm surface of the sea.

Regarding Chen Shangshui recommended by Lu Ran, Qi Ying didn't say much, it is understandable that he wants to participate in this matter, and it is also the most important thing at present to be able to crack this matter as soon as possible and grasp the evidence.

Lu Ran's concern about the government's interference would lead to the interruption of the 'Hanzhu' trade, and Qi Ying also clearly gave Jiang Ying the power to take charge of the matter.

At this time, what Qi Ying had in her hand was the twists and turns of the impeachment of Guo's henchmen by officials from various places to the core of Shengjing during this period of time.

If on weekdays, at most, each party will take its own responsibility, and it will not affect the Guo family for half a point.

But Qi Ying suppressed all these twists and turns.

Put it here and grow daily.

As long as the charge of murdering the emperor's heir is confirmed, every impeachment and every book of impeachment that is not very important in these days will become a sharp sword to destroy the Guo family.

Until then, all they have to do is keep things calm.

Stabilize Guo Kun and Guo Zhenzhen's doubts.

Indulging 'trust', indulging 'ambition', indulging 'desire' let them indulge in the sweet dream of power.

Once the dream is shattered, it is necessary to die.

·

These days, Mrs. Guo thinks a lot.

Since returning from the Prime Minister's Mansion, since Shen Linglong moved out of the back house, Mrs. Guo has been arguing and quarreling with Shen Kang.

Shen Kang's so-called position on the government and politics Guo Da Lady didn't understand, she only knew that Shen Linglong turned into a phoenix overnight and climbed to the high branch of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was planning a way out, trying her best to please Guo Kun, what did she get?

Guo Kun didn't even come forward to say a word for Jin Er.

The prime minister is right, if Guo Kun really treats them as a family in his heart, and really wants to promote Shen Kang, the current situation of the Shen family will not be just the current situation, with an inflated official title, just an inflated illusion, but it is just Shen Jin's prodigality, and he has not really provoked the powerful son.

What is their family?

Shen Kang is useless in officialdom.

I tried my best to calculate in the back house.

Shen Jin is just a foil for those sons and brothers outside.

Is that really okay? Is that really satisfying?

Mrs. Guo could see Shen Kang's vacillation, he had been an official for a long time, didn't he want to get ahead one day? Anyone can see that the big tree of the prime minister is much more reliable than the Guo family.

What's more, even Shen Linglong decisively defected and ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister's invitation was already so obvious, if he hesitated or chose Guo Kun, he was afraid that the days when he would be right with the Prime Minister would be even more unhappy.

They secretly turned to the prime minister, obviously it was beneficial and harmless, and Mrs. Guo didn't know what Shen Kangcheng was worried about in her anxiety and irritability.

Now that Shen Jin and Jiang Ting's night festival has reached the ears of the squire of the military department, people clearly said that they couldn't afford to offend the young master of the Jiang family, seeing Shen Linglong's face in front of the prime minister, and even regretted that he had broken off the marriage contract with Shen Linglong at the beginning, and was trying to find a way to climb up to the prime minister, and then talk about the marriage with Shen Linglong.

Mrs. Guo wasted a lot of effort to make the military squire's family not withdraw from the marriage for the time being, and the entire Sheng Kyoto knew that her family's Shen Lingji had a marriage contract with the military department's squire, if she was withdrawn, could she expect Guo Kun to come forward to help her?

From Shen Jin's matter, Mrs. Guo has already seen clearly, it is better to make some wise choices than to blindly rely on others, not to mention that the people she relies on may not necessarily regard themselves as important.

In Guo Kun's eyes, I'm afraid that Shen Lingji's marriage will be blown if it is blown, blaming them for not having the ability, and they will never come forward to support Shen Lingji.

In the past few days, Shen Lingji has locked herself in the room and refused to come out, her eyes are about to cry blind, and she is all to blame Shen Jin for going out to provoke right and wrong, if she is divorced, she will become a joke in the whole Shengjing, who will marry her in the future? It's better to be dead.

Shen Jin is even more so, not only does he not go out of the door, but he also throws things and loses his temper and vents his anger every day.

This family used to be good, but suddenly it became like this.

Mrs. Guo complained that Jiang Tingye was arrogant and domineering, and she didn't leave any affection for doing things, but what could she do? It is said that when he chopped his hands that day, he also won openly, and there are rumors that Shen Linglong can win the prime minister's blue eyes because Jiang Xiaogongzi fell in love with Shen Linglong, and he was unyielding to Shen Jin that day, just to make Shen Linglong, a concubine, angry.

They can't afford to provoke Jiang Tingye, and they can't afford to provoke Shen Linglong, who is now by the prime minister's side.

was full of anger, and in the end, it was all directed at Guo Kun, who was indifferent to this matter.

The children have become like this, Shen Kang also has his own concerns every day, Mrs. Guo gritted her teeth, feeling that she couldn't wait for Shen Kang to sit and wait for her to take the idea, she wrapped her veil in her face, and finally made up her mind and got in the carriage and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, Mrs. Guo came unfortunately, and was told that the prime minister had just entered the palace, and she was afraid that she would not be able to come back for a while.

But Mrs. Guo is determined to take this step, for fear that she will go back and see Shen Kang in front of her at night, and she will hesitate.

So she insisted that she had something very important to see the prime minister, and in the end Yibo still led her to the side hall to sit down and wait.

Although Shen Linglong is now with Jiang Ying, her mother-in-law still has to come out to greet her.

Today, Jiang Ying, Jiang Tingye and even Ming Yuechen are very busy, she thought that she could stay in the study, but she didn't expect to see people she didn't want to see.

However, Mrs. Guo was not in the mood to trouble Shen Linglong today, she sat silently, unconsciously a little nervous, and only lowered her head to drink tea, not even knowing when Shen Linglong had left.

After sitting here for more than an hour, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Mrs. Guo hurriedly put down the teacup and looked up, and saw that it was Jiang Yu who came in, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief: "Prime Minister." ”

It was expected that Mrs. Guo would come to her faster than Shen Kang, as a mother, as long as she put a little pressure on her children, she wouldn't be able to carry it for long.

But Jiang Ying's face was still extremely cold and indifferent, and after briefly asking Mrs. Guo's intentions, she suddenly raised her eyes and asked, "What can Madame help me?" ”

Mrs. Guo's heart trembled, and she immediately said: "I don't understand the affairs of the court, but I am clear about the affairs in the back house of the Guo family." ”

Jiang Ying raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and smiled: "Then Mrs. tell me, what are the interesting things in the back house of the Guo family?" ”

Mrs. Guo clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, she lowered her eyes, and began to think about it frantically in a little anxious.

When people's nerves are tense to a certain extent, they will think of some things that rarely come to mind in their daily lives.

Mrs. Guo was silent for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration and raised her head excitedly: "I remember, the Guo family used to have an illegitimate child, and then he was probably killed, in short, I haven't seen it, but it is also said that the child was sent elsewhere by Guo Kun, and the identity of this child is very interesting, does the Prime Minister want to hear about it?" ”

Jiang Ying's eyes flashed: "Bastard? ”

"Yes." Mrs. Guo nodded again and again, "I remember, it seems to be called. . . Guo Yuan. ”
