She couldn't help but sit up more straight, looked at Jiang Zhan's lowered eyes, and almost blurted out: "Could it be that Huang Darttou is there, my father's affairs have progressed?" ”

"You're really smart." Jiang Zhan suddenly raised his eyes, looked at her with a bit of surprise, and looked at her with appreciation.

He didn't expect that she would be able to guess this matter directly.

Then, Jiang Zhan opened the drawer, took out something from it, and threw it straight towards Gu Baoying.

Gu Baoying raised her hand to take it, and saw that it was a braided leather rope, and there were two gold beads tied to the leather rope, which was already a little worn, but the two gold beads were brightly maintained......

"It's ...... What's on my dad's sword? She quickly recognized the object, and looked up at Jiang Zhan, "This is from Huang Wenbin?" ”

"Yes, since Huang Wenbin took the bait and started gambling again, he has gradually changed from cautious to addicted, and the Hong family has paid off his gambling debts five or six times...... A few days ago, he owed a large amount of gambling debts to the gambling house. Jiang Zhan also looked at her and explained the matter in detail.

It turned out that before the Chinese New Year, Huang Wenbin met Gu Baoying on the street, and wanted to follow her, but after she was beaten by her calculations, Lai Jiu of the gambling house got Ah Song's order, and Huang Wenbin became a brother and brother, and took Huang Wenbin to start gambling again.

At the beginning, Huang Wenbin was still unwilling to gamble, only addicted, but this kind of thing, as long as there is addiction, and someone continues to instigate it, it will only get worse, although he is cautious, but later under the intentional temptation of Lai Jiu, he still frequently sat on the gambling table.

Lai Jiu knew that if he wanted to put a long line to catch a big fish, he would let him win more or less at first, even if he occasionally lost, it was only a small loss, and that amount was still within the range that Huang Wenbin could bear.

But gradually, the range became larger.

When he began to be unable to pay it back, he was reminded by Lai Jiu to find the Hong family, and the Hong family was going to provide him with good food and drink, so he paid him back a few times, Huang Wenbin realized this, and began to treat the Hong family as a money bank, and he was even more careless when gambling, until the Hong family finally couldn't stand him anymore......

"The night before yesterday, Hong San sent someone to block him in the pickled corner behind the Gaojia Restaurant on North Street...... It was also my people who were negligent and couldn't rush over in time to save the person, and when they arrived, the others were no longer good, so they only took this thing out, and said a word...... "Jiang Zhan can be said to be very difficult, so he spoke this."

And he lowered his head just now and was reluctant to meet Gu Baoying's gaze, and it was precisely because of this.

It was a very safe thing, but his people actually messed it up, not to mention losing face or anything, I really can't explain it to anyone.

“…… What did he say? Gu Baoying understood the meaning of what Jiang Zhan said, which meant that Huang Wenbin was gone, and took a deep breath of some discomfort for a while, before looking at him and asking.

"He said that the people of the Hong family knew that they would go to the post house."

"They ......" Gu Baoying silently tasted the meaning of this sentence, tasting what this "they" was referring to.

"Do you know what this is?" Jiang Zhan suddenly got up and walked to her, and pulled out the leather rope wrapped with two gold beads from her hand.

"Isn't that meant to be tied to the hilt of the sword?" Gu Baoying wondered.

"This is called the Sword Frontier, generally only the sword of the military general, this kind of leather rope will be tied, and the two gold beads on the head, this size regulation, only the royal family can use it."

Jiang Zhan returned the leather rope to her, "Even if Jiang Zhen is not from the royal family, I am afraid that he is also involved in the royal family, Baoying, your father's death, I'm afraid it is not so simple." ”

"But the only thing that is certain is that there is the participation of the Hong family." Gu Baoying clenched the sword sword, looked at him with firm eyes and replied.

"Yes, that's right." Jiang Zhan nodded, walked back to the desk and sat down, "But once you move the Hong family, the people behind the Hong family will probably point the finger at you." ”

"But if I hadn't done that, I'd never have known who killed my father......"

Gu Baoying took the sword and stood up, "He is not my biological father, but he treats me like a biological father, I can't help but avenge his hatred, since it has been determined that it is indeed related to the Hong family, then I must ask the Hong family for an explanation!" Seventh Master, I understand that if the royal family is really involved, this is not something that the Jiang family can touch, even if you don't plan to continue to cooperate with me, everything is easy to say, anyway, the medical hall has not yet opened. ”

Her little face was solemn, and if she could say this without being humble or arrogant, she was ready to accept all the bad consequences.

Jiang Zhan couldn't help but sigh when he looked at her like this, a small person, but he wanted to support his father's enmity like this: "Baoying, if you want to deal with the people of the royal family, the Jiang family doesn't have the confidence, but if you just compete with the Hong family, isn't this what the Jiang family has always been doing?" ”

"What does the Seventh Master mean?" His words made Gu Baoying's eyebrows frown.

"This matter can only go to the Hong family's level, and if it goes up, the Jiang family can only stop in moderation." Jiang Zhan said.

"I see...... Our cooperation is only aimed at the Hong family, which is the benevolence of the Seventh Master, and it is also what the Jiang family originally wanted to do...... I will only be grateful to the Jiang family for their help, and I will never have half a bit of resentment about this, please rest assured. A polite smile appeared on Gu Baoying's little face.

"Alas, Bao Ying, you don't have to say that." Jiang Zhan could only sigh, after all, apart from him, the Jiang family still had so many people behind him.

"I know it all." Gu Baoying lowered her head and didn't say anything more.

She easily sat in a sedan chair all the way to Jiang's house, and when she went back, although she was still sitting comfortably in a sedan chair, she was in a complicated mood.

Unexpectedly, Huang Wenbin died.

However, such a big thing, but I didn't hear any rumors at all, which shows how far the Hong family's ability to cover the sky with one hand in the county town has reached.

She looked at the sword in her hand, gently stroked the two gold beads on it, thought of what Jiang Zhan said, went all the way back home, hesitated for a while, and decided not to tell Zhiyan about it for the time being.

All along, she has nothing to say to Zhiyan.

But recently, he is still preparing for the county exam, and there is no need to take this kind of thing now to distract him.

As for the Xu family...... She wouldn't even say that.

"Girl, what did the seventh master tell you?" Ah Hai realized that something should have happened since she saw Gu Baoying at the door of Jiang's house, and when she saw that she was still dignified when she returned home, she couldn't help but ask.

"Huang Wenbin is dead." Gu Baoying looked at him and only told him this sentence neatly.

"What?!" Ah Hai was slightly shocked, and then said, "Girl, I'll go find the fourth master!" ”

"Go ahead...... This matter will probably be known to the fourth master soon. Gu Baoying didn't stop him, and after speaking, he went back to his room, digesting the impact of what Jiang Zhan said today, and thinking about cooperating with the Jiang family in the future.

And just as Gu Baoying walked out of the gate of Jiang's house on the front foot......

Later, in Mrs. Shen Qi's courtyard, a servant woman went in and said, "Madam, that little lady Gu just left from the outer study. ”
