Chapter 34 When we meet in the water, we should take care of ourselves
"Brother Jiang Chen, you see that this matter has been explained clearly, but why were you wearing a military uniform at that time, which makes me a little puzzled?"
Huang Sicai took out a dagger from his waist, picked up an apple and slid it in a fake way.
He also deliberately walked in front of Jiang Chen, swaying constantly, always feeling that his hand holding the dagger was not very restless.
Jiang Chen replied without hesitation: "In order to get some materials for brewing, now Ziyang City does not allow ordinary people to enter and exit at will, so I can only find a way to get a military uniform to blend in." ”
"If it weren't for those ingredients, the taste of my wine would be much worse, and I wouldn't be able to sell it for a good price when the time came, should the king blame me again?"
Huang Sicai stared at Jiang Chen's face, and then laughed and said, "Brother Jiang Chen is brave and strategic, I really admire it!" Well, without further ado, you guys hurry down the hill and continue selling those valuable bars. ”
"Remember to ask someone to bring a few more jars, the wine has already been drunk by a few of our brothers."
Huang Sicai said politely at all.
When he came down the mountain, Gu Jun said indignantly: "You can't continue to do business with these thieves, these bastards are too deceitful!" ”
"Brother Gu, don't worry, it's not too late to deal with these bandits when I clean up the other person first."
"Another person? Who is more hateful than those bandits? ”
Jiang Chen replied: "Of course, it is Zhao He, the richest businessman in the city." ”
"He has suppressed me a lot along the way, and he has used despicable means to make the Drunken Immortal Building close down until now, if I don't give him some color, then how can I make Lin Qingxuan obey me in the future?"
"But Zhao He's family has a big business, do you have any way to clean him up?"
Jiang Chen instructed Gu Jun: "Tonight, you quietly go to the Zhao Family Winery to see what they have been busy with recently, and whether there are a large number of newly brewed wine formal jars waiting to be sold." ”
"If you have one, remember to come back and tell me."
Gu Jun didn't understand what Jiang Chen's intention was in doing this, but he had long been accustomed to following Jiang Chen's instructions, because every time he did this, he could have unexpected gains.
When he returned home, Jiang Chen found that Wu Yue had put the cooked food on the table early, and it was still steaming, and he was just right to eat at this time.
Jiang Chen glanced at it, but didn't see Wu Yue's figure, probably after arranging these, he went to eat with Zhang Luo's whole family, Jiang Chen sat down happily, ready to pick up chopsticks and have a good meal.
However, at this time, he accidentally noticed that some of the furnishings in the room had changed slightly, which was nothing for ordinary people, and they would not even notice it at all.
But Jiang Chen's keen insight told him that someone had once entered his house and searched through the cabinets, and he was sure that Wu Yue would not do such a thing at all.
Then there is only one possibility that while he was not at home, a burglar broke in and took something with him.
Jiang Chen, who was suddenly alert, immediately stood up, he didn't rush to look through the wooden box he used to hold silver taels, but quietly walked around to the back of the courtyard in a low voice.
He suspected that the gentleman had not yet left, so with his judgment and skill beyond ordinary people, he detoured to the path that the thief had to take to escape.
It didn't take long for a dark shadow to appear in his sight, the other party's movements were also vigorous, and he wanted to hide in a bamboo forest before waiting for an opportunity to hide his whereabouts.
This is very sophisticated, and it does bring certain challenges to Jiang Chen's pursuit.
But he also got into the woods and continued to follow the path to bypass, and by this time the other party had noticed that he was approaching in advance, and quickly changed his route.
This is enough to show that the thief has some ability, Jiang Chen's pursuit has been very careful and has not made too many movements, but he was still noticed by the other party, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
"Bang!"
The other party wanted to escape with all his might, but he found that he had never been able to get rid of Jiang Chen.
In a hurry, he bent a bamboo casually, and when Jiang Chen was chasing closer, he let go and flicked it back, and the whistling bamboo hit head-on and was avoided by Jiang Chen sideways, his dodging movements were both precise and neat, and the whole process did not slow down the speed of the pursuit at all.
It seemed that the chase between the two would continue for a long time, but at this moment, Jiang Chen rushed forward and shouted, "Don't run, brother!" ”
"I haven't thanked you properly for what happened last time, so why don't you stop and listen to me."
The man really stopped, and turned to look at Jiang Chen without hesitation.
"It's you."
As Jiang Chen guessed, this little thief was the man who held the Great Cadre Talisman and had blocked the knife for Jiang Chen.
"I have to thank you for saving me, but I have to ask what you took from my house, and if you need help, just talk to me."
Jiang Chen's tone was full of sincerity, and the other party replied: "I borrowed you ten taels of silver as a coil, and I will return it in the future." ”
"Ten taels of silver, why don't you worry about it, but you don't know where Brother Tai is going?"
"Go through Ziyang and then to Longjiang."
This man was also frank, and directly told Jiang Chen about his itinerary, which shows that people also have a certain trust in him.
Or, he was not afraid that Jiang Chen would have bad thoughts at all, which was a sign of full confidence in his skills.
Jiang Chen thought about it, took out fifty taels of silver and threw it in front of the man.
The other party caught it and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"Although it is close to Ziyang, it is at least seven or eight hundred miles away from Longjiang, and ten taels of silver is far from enough."
The man was stunned for a moment, with a hint of doubt on his calm face.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Because you've helped me too." Jiang Chen replied as a matter of course.
As a result, the man smiled contemptuously and said to Jiang Chen, "Are you kidding me?" In fact, with your skills, it was no problem to deal with a few thieves that day, but you deliberately concealed the fact that you knew martial arts. ”
"That means you didn't need me to save you at all."
Jiang Chen also smiled.
"Anyway, you and I know each other well, not to mention that you have an unusual relationship with my father-in-law, I should help you."
"Husband?" The man was surprised for a moment, and then remembered that Lao Wu had talked about the family, and he immediately understood.
"Ziyang City is now tightly guarded by the rice bucket Di Hong, I'm afraid that your identity will not be easy to enter, go to the Water Horse Station to find a little brother named Luo Tiancheng, if you mention my name, he will find a way to help you."
Jiang Chen said this, and the man was even more puzzled.
"That's all? You don't want to ask me about my identity and the purpose of my trip to Longjiang? ”
Jiang Chen replied with arrogance: "Brother Tai doesn't say, I don't ask, in fact, there is nothing to ask, Pingshui should take care of each other when they meet." ”
