CHAPTER XXVI
Coughing lightly, Lu Zhan tried to maintain the smile on his face, "Princess, this matter is indeed very important to me, if we fail to catch the murderer, we will all be punished by the emperor, but ......"
Jiang Li interrupted him with an "oh", "Actually, as Lord Lu's son, even if you can't finish it, your father won't embarrass you too much, right?" ”
Lu Zhan didn't deny it, but said, "I really don't have to be afraid, but...... The other brothers are ordinary people, and if the emperor is angry, they will inevitably end up miserable. ”
"So, Lord Lu came to beg me for your brothers?"
Jiang Li sat on the chair with a relaxed and casual posture, but the scrutiny in his eyes brought a sense of oppression to people for no reason, "In that case, my chips are indeed important enough, isn't it worth Lord Lu to make up his mind to make an exchange?" ”
Lu Zhan pursed her lips and said cautiously, "Princess...... I beg your forgiveness for not being able to agree to your request, just because the lowly duty already belongs to the princess and cannot do what the princess wants! ”
Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, and before he could speak, System No. 007 couldn't wait to speak, "He lied!" His only emotional line is the ambiguity with the heroine.,Now he hasn't seen the heroine.,Where does the heart belong to? ”
"Host, I think he is just afraid that you will take a fancy to him, and he deliberately makes excuses here!"
Jiang Li: "...... If you shut up, no one will treat you like a dumb person. ”
Does this still use it? Can she herself still not know?
She snorted lightly and looked at Lu Zhan with a smile: "I, as a person, first hate betrayal, and second hate deception. ”
"Lord Lu has never dealt with me before, and he doesn't know my temperament, so ...... Now I can give you one more chance to say the reason for your rejection of me all over again. ”
She didn't pretend to be angry and threatened, and said a few words casually, but ...... It made Lu Zhan feel unprecedented pressure.
He had a gut feeling that if his answer didn't satisfy her, he would end up miserable today.
In the quiet, Jiang Li looked at him so quietly, he wanted to open his mouth several times but couldn't say a word.
Under her gaze, he finally lowered his head slowly and replied as if deflated, "...... Sorry, I did lie, I don't have someone to like. “
"It's just...... I don't have that kind of idea of a princess, so I really don't want to sell myself. ”
After speaking, as if he was afraid that Jiang Li would be angry, he hurriedly took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, stepped forward a few steps and respectfully placed them on the table in front of Jiang Li.
"Of course, the lowly position does not dare to take advantage of the princess, this is all the net worth that the lowly position can take out now, and please let the princess open the net!"
This time, he was very sincere, and ...... Well, the silver ticket looks pretty thick.
Jiang Li unceremoniously reached out and picked up the silver ticket and counted it, a total of one thousand taels.
Well...... She suddenly found that she didn't seem to have much idea about the money of this era.
So I couldn't help but ask the system, "One thousand taels, which is roughly equivalent to how much money I was in that era?" ”
For this kind of calculation thing, System No. 007 is particularly good at it, and immediately replied: "A penny is equivalent to a piece, a penny is a hundred yuan, and a tael is a thousand yuan, so a thousand taels is probably a million!" ”
Hearing this number, Jiang Li was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but speak, "...... It's only one million, and he's the son of a military secretary, is he so poor? ”
System No. 007 is not surprising for Jiang Li's question, because he has read Jiang Li's basic information.
Before coming here, she was also a rich lady from a wealthy family, and she had two or three million dollars for a car casually, so she naturally couldn't look down on this little money.
However, it still said a fair word for Lu Zhan, "Lu Zhan's setting is not a person who will spend all his money on alcohol, so he probably didn't lie, this may really be all the savings he can take out." ”
…… Well, what a disappointment.
Lu Zhan saw that Jiang Li was in a daze after counting the silver tickets, and he couldn't help but feel anxious for a while, could it be ...... Is there too little silver?
But he really can't take out more, is he destined to come to this trip in vain?
was thinking about it, but suddenly saw Jiang Li calmly put away the silver ticket, he was stunned for a moment, and he was just happy, "Princess, this is agreed?" ”
Jiang Li smiled, "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, in addition to this thousand taels of silver, I have a small request." ”
Lu Zhan smiled, "Princess......"
"Don't rush to answer just yet." Jiang Li interrupted him and said, "I'll say it first, if you don't agree, I won't say anything." ”
After a pause, he added with a smile, "Also, I won't return the silver ticket." ”
Lu Zhan: ???
He looked skeptical, no, how could she say this sentence with confidence? This is a Ming robbery, right? Robbers???
Lu Zhan didn't understand and was shocked.
However, what he originally wanted to say was really held back, and finally he only said, "...... Princess, please speak. ”
Jiang Li chuckled, "Oh, don't look like you're facing a great enemy, in fact, the request I want to make is very simple." ”
As she spoke, she picked up four envelopes from the table and handed them to Lu Zhan, "Well, it's just that you want to help me deliver a letter." ”
"Just sending a letter?" Lu Zhan was stunned and hesitated to take the envelope.
Take a closer look at the name on it, "Lin Qiyuan, Juniper...... These four are not ......"
Jiang Li nodded, "Well, it's just a few people who won the imperial examination, yesterday the queen mother brought them to show me to see, I think it's not bad, don't you have to communicate your feelings from time to time?" ”
Lu Zhan: "......"
Whose good girl communicates her feelings and communicates four?
The corners of his mouth twitched, but he still asked more with relief, "...... So why did you let me deliver it? ”
Jiang Li said confidently, "You are stupid, this kind of thing naturally has to be kept secret, and now that I have been grounded by the queen mother, if I pass the message out casually, maybe someone will intercept it." ”
"When the time comes, they will all be angry when they know that I have sent letters to all four of them, and I will not be able to keep any of them."
Lu Zhan: "......"
It made sense, but he was speechless.
For a moment, he suddenly felt ridiculous...... threatened him like this, Jiang Li was actually just trying to communicate with the four of them without being discovered?
It's really ridiculous!
He suddenly had some doubts, did Jiang Li really know something, or was he just playing him at all?
His suspicious eyes were too obvious, Jiang Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "What, don't believe me?" ”
"Then you can return the letter, I just haven't seen you tonight."
Lu Zhan: And then blatantly swallowed his 1,000 taels of silver?
It had come to this, and he had to believe even if he didn't believe it.
"The deal...... If he agreed, he would personally deliver the letter to the four men so that no one else would find out. ”
"So now, can the princess give a clear indication of the matter of the lowly investigation?"
