Chapter 083: Shunkang Qianzhuang
Hearing this, Zhilan couldn't help but be very surprised, and she didn't know what Zhan Shaofeng was doing when she suddenly mentioned the matter of betrothal. But she is not a fool, she reacted quickly, her little face suddenly turned red to the root of her ears, and her voice became uneven: "You...... Are you taking advantage of this? ”
"What do you say?" Zhan Shaofeng's voice was as calm as ever, but there was a hint of playfulness in his words.
Zhilan looked up at Zhan Shaofeng in surprise, wondering if the person in front of her had also been transferred. Was this still the silent guard she knew?
After not seeing him for many days, he seems to have grown taller again, still wearing the same black robe, and still having that cold expression. But for some reason, Zhilan always felt that something had quietly changed in him. Was it a shallow smile that flashed in his indifferent eyes, or was it an extra rich warmth in his deep voice? Or is it the awe-inspiring and inviolable aura that faintly emanates from his long body? Zhilan looked at the familiar and unfamiliar teenager in front of her, and her heart became more and more confused.
Zhan Shaofeng was very familiar with Zhilan's expression at the moment, and knew that this girl was out of the world again. So he seized this opportunity, stepped forward and took a step closer and said, "Since it is inconvenient for the young lady to answer, I will acquiesce to you." By the time Zhilan reacted, he had already turned around and walked to the room where Lin Mubai interrogated the gang of thieves.
"Hey, hey! I didn't say yes! Zhilan shouted angrily from behind.
Zhan Shaofeng calmly walked into the room as if he hadn't heard it, and closed the door with his hand.
Zhilan suddenly froze.
Seeing the young lady standing in place gritting her teeth and stomping her feet, her face was blue and red, and she looked unwilling, and the thrush was very puzzled. So she stepped forward and asked with concern, "Miss, didn't you tell Miss Qi this morning that you already planned to agree to this family business?" ”
"Hmm......" Zhilan was speechless.
"Oh-I see, Miss is actually willing, it's just inconvenient to say, isn't it?" The straightforward painting heart also came up and said.
As soon as the two sisters sang and harmonized, they pierced the master's heart in three or two clicks, but they didn't know that their master was already angry at the moment. I saw her shake her hand angrily, strode into the private room, and sat in her seat without speaking. Everyone only thought that she was frightened because of those assassins, and they comforted her repeatedly, but unfortunately they didn't get to the point. Mrs. Lin specially called her daughter to sit down beside her, for fear that she would be hurt again.
At this time, the howling in the room over there could no longer be heard, presumably because the thief had been used to summon spirits.
In the next room, Li Gui was sitting quietly on the floor against the wall. In front of him, Lin Mubai was sitting on a chair and Guanyun and Zhan Shaofeng were standing beside him.
Lin Mubai asked, "Who are you?" Why? ”
Li Gui was already in a trance at this time, and said faintly: "The master sent us to kill the second miss of the Lin family. ”
"Who are you lords?"
"Our lord is Boss Pang of Shunkang Qianzhuang in the capital, and his name is Pang Xin."
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Lin Mubai was very surprised. When he was in the capital, he had never heard of any Shunkang money bank, and he thought it should be an inconspicuous small money bank. Their Lin family had never had any dealings with this money bank, let alone heard of or seen Pang Xin. Why did this person find their Lin family? So he asked again: "Do you know why your master wanted to kill Miss Lin?" ”
Li Gui replied with a blank face: "A few months ago, the master gave us a task, saying that I heard that there is a young lady in the family of Master Shang Shulin of the Criminal Department, who may be a demon girl who can detoxify poison. It is said that Lord Lin wants to move his family to Jiangnan, and the lord wants us to follow and observe all the way, and once the matter of the young lady is confirmed, we will immediately report it to him. Later, when we followed to Shanyang County, we learned from a mother and daughter that this was true. So he returned to the capital to resume his life, and the lord ordered us to get rid of this woman to prevent future troubles, but not to leave any traces. ”
Hearing these words, the three people in the room were all shocked. How could the owner of a small money bank know that Zhilan had a special ability? Who told him? Besides, a few months ago, it should have been when there was an assassination case in the palace. Could it be that Zhilan's medicine saved the five royal fathers and sons, which attracted suspicion?
Guanyun hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by 'getting rid of this woman to prevent future troubles'?" What are the consequences that your lord is referring to? ”
Li Gui replied: "I don't know. We just carry out the order, and we don't know anything else. ”
Guanyun was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him twice, scolding: "Nonsense! I don't know anything and I'm still so desperate! Say! Who are you lords? ”
"The lord is the owner of Shunkang Money Village." Li Gui repeated what he had just answered. He was kicked a few times but unconscious, and he didn't feel any pain at all.
Lin Mubai waved his hand to stop Guanyun and said, "It seems that he really doesn't know, so there is no need to ask again." ”
Zhan Shaofeng asked, "What to do with these people next?" ”
Lin Mubai pondered for a while and said, "If they don't go back to restore their lives, it means that they have been discovered by us." Then Pang Xin will inevitably have a follow-up move, and next time I am afraid that it will not be just such a little person, and it will not just come to Lan'er alone. Therefore, it is better to find someone from among them to write a letter, and use their usual contact to bring the letter back to the capital, saying that the matter has been done, and that Pang Xin will be stabilized first. ”
"Okay, I'll do it." Zhan Shaofeng turned and left.
After he left, Lin Mubai said to Guanyun again: "You go and prepare the carriage and horses, and we will return to Beijing on the same day." ”
"So fast?" Guanyun was a little stunned.
"Yes." Lin Mubai's expression was unquestionable, and Guanyun had no choice but to comply. Looking at the figure of Guanyun leaving, Lin Mubai fell into deep thought. Since this Pang Xin repeatedly told his subordinates not to leave any clues, it also shows that he is afraid of being caught. Once he learns that the Lin family has discovered him, while they are still far away from Jiangnan in the capital, then Pang Xin will definitely do his best to kill people. The fake message could only stabilize him temporarily, and it couldn't last long. Therefore, the Lin family had to hurry back to the capital, after all, it was a major part of Gyeonggi, and they also had enough manpower. Once he goes back, even if Pang Xin learns that the news is exposed, he will inevitably be afraid and dare not act rashly.
It's just that who is this Pang Xin? If no one supports him, with his identity as the boss of a money bank, he must not dare to attack the Lin family's idea even if he borrows ten guts. Lin Mubai's thick eyebrows were deeply locked, and after a little thought, he had made up his mind in his heart.
