Chapter 53: A Two-Sided Friend

The innkeeper heard that Young Master Jiang's words were conclusive, full of evidence, and felt that it was very reasonable, so he persuaded Miss Lan: "Just now I sat on the bench, and I also thought about it repeatedly, this thirteen Qing girl is very suspicious in doing things, if I am not mistaken, there are two inferences, or, there is a chance that she has colluded with the Japanese." Or, she just wants to get something from inside and out, and asks you for some news. ”

Young Master Jiang Cheng then quietly dragged Lan Sheng aside and asked, "Have you ever told Thirteen Qing about the news that we are going to hunt for treasures." ”

Lan Sheng: "She once shared weal and woe with us, and you still want to take her to Jiale Gate with you, how can I not tell her? However, I didn't tell her the secret of the eighteen pictures, she brought it up herself, saying that there are probably some mysteries in the things that Gu Nianxi gave us in order to repay our kindness." She said she recognized the fan. It was owned by a rich man, but for some reason it fell into the hands of Gu Nianxi. ”

The innkeeper heard the sound of urging downstairs, and looked down to see that it was someone from the Lu family, so he hurriedly came over and urged: "I hope that the two guest officers will go downstairs quickly! Then the Lu family, I really can't afford to offend! I'm a little old man, I can't stand the scare anymore, I still want to stop living, what kind of killer thing in the future, I don't want to, An Ansheng runs this shop, what kind of business can be done." ”

Jiang Cheng pursed his lips and looked at him suspiciously, there was only a package of leather left in the cabinet, and there was nothing to be nostalgic for, so he took Lan Sheng's hand downstairs.

The two servants of the Lu family had a little respect for them, because after all, it was Boss Lu's mother who invited them, so the two rode their horses and followed them together.

The old mansion of the Lu family does not have a sense of luxury, but is an antique place, which is similar to the previous inn.

Boss Lu's mother sat on a chair with a solid wood back, surrounded by a stove, with cakes baked on it, and two small servants waiting next to her, one taking the cakes, and the other fanning the wind, I am afraid it will be hot, Aunt Lu said: "This is the milk cake given to me by the merchants in the northwest, you can also taste it." ”

The housekeeper of the Lu family hurriedly took the serving plate, brought a few milk cakes, and didn't dare to slack off, so he personally sent them to the guests: "Boss Ming, you can also taste it, this is a new thing." ”

Boss Ming unhurriedly took over the cake that someone had fanned just now, and said with a hint of displeasure: "This good cake is built by manpower, so it is better to eat it while blowing it yourself, and have a good time." ”

It was immediately sent to Jiang Cheng's side.

Young Master Jiang Cheng saw that the steward of the Lu family was slightly unhappy because of Ming Laosan's words, he quickly nodded politely to the steward, took the half-hot cake, tasted it, and the fragrance was delicious, this heat is obviously just right, why did Ming Laosan say this? What is the intention of being so picky? Seeing that the host of the local temple fair and the patriarch they said were sitting here, he couldn't guess the words of Ming Laosan.

Jiang Cheng saw his aunt looking at them, and hurriedly smiled at the aunt of the Lu family: "I waited for the first day to visit, and my aunt was so polite, I am really very grateful." ”

Lan Sheng also chimed in: "I'm really grateful to my aunt." ”

Ming Laosan responded with something in his words: "Aunt is tepid and chivalrous now, no wonder your son can sit firmly in the position of a celebrity in the Shanghai kung fu world." ”

Boss Lu's mother took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Ming Laosan, are you making fun of me? By the way, the temple fair will start the day after tomorrow, how are you preparing for your lion dance." ”

The steward of the silk village hurriedly said: "It's all ready, or the four strong men of the servants are going to compete." ”

Boss Ming said angrily: "Just you have a lot of mouths." ”

Young Master Jiang Cheng couldn't see what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourd, so he immediately thought about it while eating cakes and tasting tea.

Lan Sheng suddenly found that a flickering figure in the corner of the wall seemed strange, so he wanted to look over, but was held down by Jiang Cheng, and Lan Sheng said angrily: "You." ”

Jiang Cheng also saw it, but he didn't let her act rashly.

Boss Ming held a poison test needle in his hand, and quietly tested the tea that his aunt ordered the servant to bring him, and then found that he was fine.

So, he hurriedly glanced at the figure in the corner. The figure vanished instantly.

Lan Sheng said to Jiang Cheng: "Could it be that Ming Laosan was afraid of accidents, so he deliberately arranged assassins." ”

Boss Lu's mother actually noticed it a long time ago, but she pretended not to know, and still smiled: "It's not too early, if Boss Ming is tired, come back tomorrow and write me the list of various merchants participating in the temple fair." ”

The housekeeper of the silk village hurriedly came over to help: "Master." ”

Boss Ming got up, straightened his clothes, and said coldly: "Then I will be respectful and obey my fate, and the day after tomorrow, I will send you the roster." ”

Young Master Jiang Cheng saw that the boss did not greet the patriarch and the host, and then walked away, he estimated that this person might have broken off contact with the family, and it was inconvenient for him to be an outsider, so he continued to drink tea with a little embarrassment.

However, the patriarch, the white-bearded old man got up and sat in the position of Boss Ming, so that he was one step closer to Young Master Jiang, he smiled and said: "A few groups of people came just now, but they didn't introduce each other, I think you must have a connection with the Jiang family, this appearance is too similar to the old lady of the Jiang family." ”

Jiang Cheng immediately squeezed out a smile to him.

Lan Sheng's hand holding the tea bowl shook slightly, the old lady Jiang looked like a white beard, on par with the patriarch, how could he see that Jiang Cheng looked like the old lady?

Outside the compound.

Boss Ming held a horn like a flute in his hand, and opened the lid on it, and it turned out that there was a hole in it.

There was a small fried pipe, he rubbed the flint and then ignited, the signal to fly out of the sky, in this silently about to set in the weather, its light was faintly visible, the silk village steward worried: "Master, is it appropriate to send a letter to the Japanese in such a rash manner? This temple fair, are you really not on the side of the Lu Mansion?"

Boss Ming turned his head angrily and glanced at the big sign on the Lu family's mansion: "Of course, this favor naturally still has to be done, but the connection with Japan can't be broken, let's wait and see what happens." ”

The steward of the silk village has always disapproved of the collusion between the lord and the Japanese, but he does not know what the lord is thinking, and it is not convenient for him to ask more.

......

Young Master Jiang Cheng sat in the corner opposite the courtyard, and suddenly raised his eyes but found the signal, he faintly felt a cold feeling around him, and the man in black just now did not leave.

Young Master Jiang Cheng immediately pulled out a dart from his cuff and shot it into the corner with a whoosh, and the man in black fell to the ground in response.

Lan Sheng and the patriarch hurriedly went over to check, but Boss Lu's mother shouted to stop everyone: "That's a Japanese agent." He has explosives on him, don't go and die with him!"
