Chapter 56: The Calm Before the Storm
Jiang Boyan packed up his things, and as soon as he sat down to drink a cup of tea, Ye Ling's voice came from outside the door, "Young Master Jiang, it's time for dinner, and the county lord is already waiting for the young master in the main hall." ”
Grunt grunt~
The stomach screamed out at an inopportune time, Jiang Boyan instantly felt embarrassed, saw the figure at the door, and coughed a few times embarrassedly, "I'll come now." ”
Jiang Boyan pushed open the door and saw that Ye Ling was still waiting at the door, with no ridicule on his face, so he didn't feel embarrassed, and smiled at Ye Ling, "I'm tired of leading the way." ”
"This is the duty of the slave maid, young master, please." After Ye Ling finished speaking, he turned around and led the way, Jiang Boyan followed behind, surprised in his heart, such a temperament is not like what a maid should have, could it be that the maids in the county lord's mansion are so different?
In the main hall, the food had already been served, and the table was full of dazzling meals, Jiang Xiaobai, who had long been hungry, involuntarily swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and couldn't wait to rub his hands, "Why hasn't my brother come yet." ”
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Ye Ling took Jiang Boyan to the door and stopped, turned around and saluted in a proper manner, "Young Master Jiang, it's here." With that, he stepped aside and waited.
Jiang Boyan nodded and thanked him and walked in, seeing Jiang Xiaobai's impatient and hungry appearance, he couldn't help laughing, "It's late, Xiaoxiao won't blame me." Jiang Xiaobai raised his head when he heard the voice, stood up happily, and grinned: "No blame, no blame, come over and eat, brother." ”
After the two of them sat down, the storm inhaled the food, and the food had no image, seeing that the food was almost finished, Jiang Boyan slowed down his chopsticks and asked the doubts in his heart, "Xiaoxiao, you suddenly moved to Fengdu in such a hurry, what is the matter?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai grabbed the dish for a moment, and then stopped, and got serious, "I thought about it, this decision is still too hasty, so I don't plan to act immediately, but it's my brother's exam, how long will it take for the results to come down?" ”
Jiang Boyan became even more confused after hearing this, he didn't understand what Jiang Xiaobai was doing, and he lost the strength to move the chopsticks, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Action? What are you talking about? If you have to wait for the exam, you have to wait for half a month, so you don't have to worry. ”
Jiang Xiaobai saw that he was almost done, so he raised his hand and called someone to clean it up, and wiped his mouth slowly before answering Jiang Boyan's question, "I recently discovered a black-hearted case and was planning to investigate it thoroughly, but I didn't tell my father, his body is weak now, and it's not good to add any more trouble, think about it, only my brother can help me." Without waiting for Jiang Boyan to speak, Jiang Xiaobai immediately continued.
"But I don't think it's too hasty, you have to plan carefully, I guess the other party is a member of the royal family, if you startle the snake, it will be difficult to collect evidence."
Jiang Boyan was surprised when he heard this, his face was shocked, and his worried voice raised several degrees, "People from the royal family? How can it involve the royal family, Xiaoxiao, this is too dangerous, I don't allow you to take this risk, and I believe that my father will not agree. ”
Jiang Xiaobai had long known that Jiang Boyan would react like this, so he raised his index finger unhurriedly and booed, "Shhh Jiang Boyan hurriedly covered his mouth and lowered his voice, "I'm not worried about you." ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled slyly and hooked his hand at Jiang Boyan, "Come here, I'll tell you something in a whisper." ”
"As for me, I plan to rely on this case to invite the emperor to give a credit, if it is done, I will get the position of Jinyiwei, and I will have the support of the name of the county lord, if you win the champion or something, then the status of Jiangfu will be different, hehe."
Jiang Boyan tilted his head back in surprise, with an incredulous expression, "I can only take a Tanhua, you are fooling around, is this royal case so easy to solve, it is extremely dangerous." ”
What a cowardice, alas.
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head helplessly, looked at Jiang Boyan, his eyes were firm, "Brother, you are too modest yourself, I believe in you." After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the table thoughtfully, "If you want to get ahead, you have to take a risk, besides, am I the kind of person who is afraid of danger?" Brother, just trust me. ”
Jiang Xiaobai's words were extremely firm, which made it impossible to deny it, Jiang Boyan had no choice but to let go and hang his head, "Forget it, you must tell me when you want to act, don't take risks alone, don't hear it." ”
Jumping, Jiang Boyan flicked Jiang Xiaobai's head.
Jiang Xiaobai shrunk his head and stuck out his tongue coquettishly, and the two looked like they were quite emotional.
Longquan Inn.
After Bai Shenting took Wei Zhi to settle down, he planted some dead soldiers around Jiang Xiaobai's county lord's mansion, and some eyeliner around Fengdu, he was always worried about Jiang Xiaobai, afraid that she would act alone, so he arranged for a while before resting, and he didn't eat dinner.
Wei Zhi stood beside Bai Shen Ting, reporting the news that Bai Shen Ting had asked to inquire before, "Young Master, my subordinates found out that Miss Jiang recently went to the Black Bead Casino, and the Black Bead Casino seems to be somewhat related to the Huya Tavern, as well as the Linglong Pavilion, these three places seem to be related. ”
Bai Shen listened to sit on the chair and swayed back and forth, muttering in his mouth: "Black Bead Casino, Huya Tavern, Linglong Pavilion." Tsk, interesting, it seems that the proprietress of the Huya Tavern has hidden a lot of secrets. ”
Wei Zhi remembered that the proprietress from before, who participated in the two target locations at the same time, couldn't help but feel strange, and nodded undeniably, "The subordinates also feel strange, by the way, there is also the Black Bead Casino, the subordinates checked it, this is the information of the casino, young master, look at it, it's really weird, it's not like a casino at all." ”
Bai Shen listened to the information handed by Wei Zhi, flipped through the pages one by one, the more he looked at it, his brows became tighter and tighter, and his face was serious, "The gameplay of this casino is different from other casinos, it's very strange, let's meet in the evening." ”
"Yes, young master."
At the door of the house next to Bai Shen Ting, Chu Liang was dressed in red and wearing a black mask standing in the corner of the listening wall.
Tonight, then I'll play with you, Bai Shen listened.
Bai Shen listened to the black shadow that came out of the door, became vigilant, and looked at Wei Zhi's envoy, and the moment Wei Zhi opened the door, Chu Liang disappeared in an instant.
"Young master, the person is gone!"
Wei Zhi lowered his head in remorse, but Bai Shen didn't react when he heard it, just looked at the door thoughtfully.
"It looks like we're being targeted by someone with a heart."
Wei Zhi raised his head with a worried expression, "Then, is tonight's operation canceled?" ”
There was a sudden pain in his body, and Bai Shen, who had been tired for a day, felt the discomfort in his body, sighed, and waved his hand to Wei Zhi, "No need, I want to see what tricks he wants to play, you go out first, I'll get up from sleep and then set off." ”
"That subordinate retires, don't bother the young master." Wei Zhi said softly, cautiously walked out and closed the door, and stood at the door without saying a word.
