Chapter 16: The Peach Blossom Gamble

White Rock Street.

Jia Siye's mansion is not very well defended.

The hound wandered listlessly with the guards, who yawned as they patrolled.

In the past, the prosperous and noble high-door lord has now added a bit of decay.

While waiting for the report at the door, the girl in green clothes observed the layout of the guards on the periphery, and thought thoughtfully: "If I take the head of that Jia Siye now, will you just run away in vain?" ”

When Jiang Chen and Chiyang cast vigilant glances at the same time, the girl in cuiyi turned half of her pretty face sideways, squinted at Jiang Chen, and smiled slightly: "Little lewd thief, you should understand now, Chiyang can protect you for a while, but he can't protect you for a lifetime!" If I try to make trouble, you won't be able to do anything. ”

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice: "What do you want?" ”

The girl in cuiyi said: "It's not interesting to keep being in a stalemate like this, and you don't want to drag down the Chiyang hero all the time, right?" So, let's make a bet, how about it? ”

"How to bet?"

"Bet on whether you can find the missing Mrs. Jia before the sun sets today." The girl in green clothes put her hands behind her back, looked at the clouds on the horizon, and whispered, "If you successfully complete the commission and get the reward of 5,000 taels of silver, it will be your life money, and I will no longer trouble you." ”

"What if I lose? I can't give you the jade pendant either! ”

"I don't force you, don't give you a jade pendant, just give you a thing! Eyes, ears, tongue, fingers, toes, life, all of them. The girl in Cui Yi raised a white finger and shook it gently, "The most important thing is that a manly man, one person does things and one person does things, if you lose, you can't ask Chiyang Hero for help, how about it?" ”

Chiyang shouted: "Xiao Jiang, don't listen to her rhetoric!" ”

The girl in green clothes rubbed her toes against the ground, shook her head and sighed: "Could it be that the little lewd thief is like a child who has not yet been weaned, and cannot do without the care of adults?" ”

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "You don't have to provoke me, you bet with you." ”

He thought to himself, even if I lose, it's a big deal that I use "Wind Spell" to run away, and only fools can see you like you.

Moreover, he is still very sure, after all, when it comes to "finding people", his supernatural power "Traces of the Void" can be described as invincible. Even if Madame Jia had become a corpse and had been buried in the grave, he would have been able to find her!

What the girl in green clothes thought in her heart was: The person who has been missing for a month, I'm afraid that even the bones have been gnawed by wild dogs, right? You're going to lose! As long as there's no red sun in the way, see how I concoct you!

The two glanced at each other, both showed confident smiles, and said "stupid" to each other in their hearts.

The girl in green clothes turned her head to look at Chiyang: "Did the Chiyang hero hear it?" The little thief has made a manly bet with me, and if he loses, you are not allowed to interfere again, you know? ”

Chiyang exhaled, stared at the girl in cuiyi, and said in a deep voice: "You have to promise, if we complete the commission, you are not allowed to fight this little brother's idea again!" ”

"I promise you." The girl in green clothes smiled gently, "I am the most trustworthy person, as long as I give enough money, I will never regret it." ”

"Then, if the gentleman says, the horse is difficult to chase!"

A moment later, a well-built old butler walked out and welcomed the servants into Jiafu and served tea.

Chiyang's name played a great role, and the old housekeeper was very attentive to him, answering all questions and knowing everything.

learned from the old housekeeper that in the past month, Jia Siye has sent out more than a dozen waves of people to find his wife's whereabouts, but he only waited for disappointment again and again, and finally gradually despaired.

Jia Siye is losing weight day by day, he doesn't think about tea and food, and he can't sleep at night.

The old housekeeper saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, so he had to invite his wife's sister, Miss Gan, to comfort the master.

I thought that Miss Gan, who looked like Mrs., could relieve the old man's heart disease a little, but it didn't have much effect......

"Does Miss Gan look like Madame?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Miss Gan and Mrs. Gan were born in the same cell, and their looks and demeanors are almost identical, we outsiders can't see the difference at all, only the master can recognize them at a glance." The old butler sighed, "Sometimes I would rather the old man's vision is not so good, and he doesn't have to be so clear." But although the master's health is getting worse and worse, he is very clear about this point......"

"Your master is a strange man with affection and righteousness." The girl in green clothes held the teacup, her eyes staring at the thin leaves floating on the water, but the words that came out of her mouth were not polite at all, "On the contrary, you Diao slaves, make your own opinions, draw red threads, collude with foreign thieves, and deceive the superiors and subordinates, it is really damned!" ”

The old butler's face changed suddenly.

Jiang Chen hurriedly coughed a few times, glared at the girl in cuiyi and said, "This is someone's family matter, can you take care of it?" ”

"Little whore, don't think I don't know, what kind of crooked idea are you playing in your heart!" The girl in Cui Yi sneered, "You want to come and steal the beams and change the pillars, and send Miss Gan back dressed as Mrs. Jia, so as to cheat the five thousand taels of silver." But I tell you, what is fake is fake, and it will never be true! Fourth Master Jia's vision is very good, don't daydream like this! ”

Jiang Chen was seen through his thoughts, his face was very embarrassed, and he opened his eyes wide and said, "Why are you so innocent out of thin air......

The old housekeeper's face was also ugly, and he was about to refute that this little girl didn't know how to be flexible, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure at the door out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly got up to meet him: "Master! What are you doing here? ”

It was Jia Siye who walked in at the door.

He waved his hand and refused the support of the old butler, walked to the house with weak steps, and waved to the guests present.

"Chiyang Hero, as well as this young man and this woman, Neiko has been missing for many days, I don't know if I live or die, I beg you to help, Jia is grateful!"

Jiang Chen saw his appearance clearly at this time.

Jia Siye is like a weak scholar, under his thin and haggard appearance, there is a stubbornness.

Jiang Chen sighed secretly and silently gave up the plan of "stealing beams and changing pillars".

Chiyang got up and returned the salute: "Please rest assured, I will go all out in the next place and give the fourth master an explanation!" ”

Even the girl in cuiyi said: "An infatuated strange man like the fourth master, how can people bear to disappoint you?" ”

The two sides exchanged a few polite words, Jia Siye was ill and couldn't stay for a long time, and after telling the old housekeeper to fully cooperate with several chivalrous warriors, he confessed and left.

The knights continued to ask the old butler about Mrs. Jia's situation, hoping to find some clues about her disappearance from the many trivial things of Mrs. Jia's daily life.

"Madame rarely gets along alone with men, and most of her friends are noble daughters and ladies of high status, who often hold some high-end banquets, and invite all of them to famous figures in Western Liaocheng......"

"Madame is very particular about the style of life, and requires the servants around her to speak elegantly and behave well, and often take the servants to enjoy elegant music with them......"

"On the day of the birthday party, a stage was set up in the courtyard and a new small play was scheduled. Madame went to the door to greet her friend, but she disappeared on the way out - the servant in the courtyard watched her go out, but the guard outside the door did not see her go out......"

Jiang Chen was listening attentively, when suddenly a servant came lightly and whispered a few words in his ear.

Jiang Chen's complexion immediately became a little strange, he glanced at Chiyang, quietly left the hall, and followed the servant.

Miss Gan was waiting for him in the study.

Jiang Chen originally wanted to meet this Miss Gan and see if he could use some special means to make her "Mrs. Jia", but he gave up this plan after meeting Fourth Master Jia. Unexpectedly, Miss Gan would take the initiative to ask to see him, saying that there were some clues to tell her.
