Chapter 40: Counterattack

Master Jiang touched his beard: "I did say so." ”

Jiang Tingliu continued: "And the Western goods store relied on this gorgeous and peculiar clock to attract a lot of customers, in order to show the accuracy of the Western clock, the shop owner also set the clock to signal the time every quarter of an hour before the city gate closes in the capital every day, so the clock will start to tell the time at four o'clock every day, and the top of the clock will definitely spray white mist." ”

Qian Huasheng's face turned a little pale, he faintly sensed what Jiang Tingliu wanted to say, but the status gap between him and Jiang Tingliu was here, and it was impossible for him to interrupt Jiang Tingliu and not let her finish the next words.

So Jiang Tingliu continued: "There is still a distance from the Fengxing carriage and horses on Xiping Street to the West City Gate, even if you hire a carriage, but you must drive slowly and carefully in the capital, and at that time, it is also the time when many people who live in the suburbs of the city leave the city and go home, and if you want to go out of the city you need to queue up, if I really want to go out of the city to have a private meeting with people last night, then I must make preparations for the city a little earlier, and I will need at least a quarter of an hour to get from the Fengxing carriage to the West City Gate......"

Jiang Tingliu raised a finger cutely and waved: "Then may I ask Deputy Steward Qian, when the big clock was blocked between the single groceries and the popular carriages and horses, how did you see the person on the other side through the thick white fog?" ”

"And it's at a distance of several shops in between."

Jiang Tingliu didn't wait for Qian Huasheng to answer and continued to pursue: "Deputy Steward Qian said that what I saw was my back, let's say that when your eyesight is different from ordinary people, you can clearly see the distance through the white fog, but Deputy Steward Qian is the frontyard steward, I am a backyard woman, even if I occasionally go out to play with the girl, I mostly take the car, how can Deputy Steward Qian be so familiar with my back?" It's so vague that you can be sure it's me from a distance? ”

Qian Huasheng sighed, wanting to explain that it was because Jiang Tingliu's clothes, jewelry, and hairstyle were all he had seen occasionally, but Jiang Tingliu still didn't give him a chance to argue, and took the first step forward, and continued to analyze with a sense of oppression: "The third question is actually what I just said, there is a certain distance from the popular carriage to the west city gate, and there will be a delay in front of the city gate. As long as the car and horse dealer does not go to other places, the rental procedures are very simple, why can Deputy Steward Qian follow all the way from afar? Or is there something hidden in this? ”

She suddenly used her figure to cover her ill-intentioned smile at Qian Huasheng: "Or, is Deputy Steward Qian lying?" ”

Qian Huasheng subconsciously retorted: "I didn't-"

Jiang Tingliu also followed with an amplified voice: "Deputy Steward Qian said that I fell into the hands of the gangsters, which makes even more sense, if I want to have a private meeting with someone, how can I meet the villain inexplicably?" What's more, you also said that Qingguo is also in the hands of the gangsters, so how could the Qingguo fall into the hands of the gangsters? Did the gangsters catch her beforehand? Or did she also get out of town for some reason? ”

Jiang Tingliu snorted coldly: "Does Deputy Steward Qian himself think that your words are full of flaws?" But don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet, and you said that I was robbed on the way back to the city by you, or is it only two or three miles away from the capital, Deputy Steward Qian won't know that there is a picket camp three miles outside the capital, right? They are responsible for cooperating with the officials in the capital to ensure the safety of the capital at night, although my Jiang family has no official position, but it is also an old man who has lived in the capital for generations, I was abducted so close to the capital, and Deputy Steward Qian only needs to go to the picket camp...... First, where their duty lies, and secondly, there is the reputation of their father there, will the picket camp refuse to help you find the third lady of the Jiang family who was taken captive? ”

Jiang Tingliu finished a long sentence in one breath, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Deputy Steward Qian, have you gone to the picket camp for help?" ”

Of course Qian Huasheng didn't, he wanted to speak, but for a while, he didn't know how to refute Jiang Tingliu.

Jiang Tingliu took a sip of the tea bowl and took a breath before saying: "As for the last question, since Deputy Steward Qian admitted that he didn't report the news because of his own selfishness, then I won't say anything, although you are full of lies, but your perception of yourself is quite accurate." ”

Jiang Tingliu ended her tirade with a mockery, she regained her momentum, and returned to the third miss of the Jiang family who was "full of admiration for her father", and looked at the old man of Zhejiang "worriedly" and asked: "Daddy, does my daughter have your style?" ”

Master Jiang was originally shocked by the aggressive Jiang Tingliu, and at this time he heard her innocent but ironing question, and Master Jiang felt that Jiang Tingliu was still that cute little girl, it turned out that he wanted to learn from himself just now, and Master Jiang recalled his demeanor in the shopping mall, and finally decided to give his daughter a little encouragement, so he clapped his hands and smiled: "Xiao Liu'er is modest, how can you just be a father just now?" Obviously, she already has the ability to succeed as a father for six or seven years, and she is worthy of being my daughter. ”

Jiang Tingliu smiled shyly when she heard this, she ran to Master Jiang's side and twisted it like kraft candy for a while, and said disagreeably: "Daddy laughs at me, you can't laugh at me." ”

After laughing, Master Jiang looked at Jiang Tingliu more and more satisfied, his daughter has a clear brain and is willing to take the initiative to learn, knows how to think about the Jiang family, has courage and brains, and really makes him like it the more he looks at it.

So Master Jiang, who felt that Jiang Tingliu was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, felt even more displeased when he looked at Qian Huasheng, Master Jiang had already affirmed that Qian Huasheng was making trouble, and he came early in the morning to insist that Jiang Tingliu had not returned at night, could it be that someone in the backyard had reported the news? It's just that the person who reported the news never thought that Jiang Tingliu was filial piety and wanted to prepare a birthday gift for his father from everyone, so he made such an oolong.

But there are still some things that don't make sense...... Why was Qian Huasheng sure that she was having a private meeting with someone as soon as he heard that Jiang Tingliu was not in his room? As long as this kind of thing is investigated, there will definitely be clues, if Qian Huasheng has any conspiracy, who is he looking down on with such a flawed plan?

Old Man Jiang's eyes were deep, and he always felt that there was something in this matter that was shrouded in fog.

Jiang Tingliu suddenly leaned into Master Jiang's ear at this time and whispered: "Daddy, there is something I can't say in front of everyone, can Daddy allow his daughter to report it privately?" ”

Seeing her serious expression, Master Jiang said to the others, "You guys are waiting here." He took Jiang Tingliu to the inner room.

Jiang Tingliu just stood still and said softly: "Actually, when I went out with Guo Gongzi that time, I saw Qian Huasheng at the door of the gambling house, and he seemed to see me at that time, but my daughter is not sure about this. ”

Master Jiang was taken aback: "Gambling house? He paused, "It's not a big problem to see Qian Huasheng in the gambling house......
