Chapter 489 The secret game
The next morning.
Gu Chan put on the tattered clothes she wore when she was pretending to be a beggar, and went to East Street to find a place to sit down and beg.
The beggars on the East Street saw that the brat Gu Chan suddenly appeared again, so they quickly went to notify the mangy dog.
As the beggar on the East Street side, the mangy dog had not seen Gu Chan for several days. When they heard that the brat was back again, they hurried to find Gu Chan and asked, "Where have you been for more than half a month? Why don’t I see you? ”
"I have something to do and I am out of town. Why don't I come back now? I will pay the money I owe during this period." Gu Chan said with a smile.
After saying that, she immediately reached into her sleeves, took out two taels of silver, and handed it to the mangy dog.
She hasn't been here for more than half a month. Based on the daily allowance of five copper coins, the total payment is about one tael. Now two taels is considered a lot.
The mangy dog received the money and said with a smile, "You have made a fortune! You are so generous."
"Don't I still have to be filial to you? How can I just pay my share of the money!" Gu Chan said with a smile.
"The boy is sensible, not bad." The mangy dog said with satisfaction.
Then he sat next to Gu Chan, put the money in his sleeves and put it away, and then said, "By the way, you have heard about the recent incident at Yaoduoduo store! It seems that the shopkeepers were all driven to the water Business is gone.”
"I know! Hasn't this matter spread throughout the Jiangnan area a long time ago? I also heard that Yao Duoduo's merchant ships are doing very well on the Jiangnan River now." Gu Chan said with a smile.
"That's good, but when the boat is on the water, it's not the same as on the ground. If something happens to the boat and the boat is destroyed and everyone is killed, it will be troublesome." The mangy dog sighed.
Gu Chan's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this, and she began to pay more attention to it.
Indeed, she thought too simply. She thought that since she had bought a boat and operated on the water, nothing would happen. However, she never thought that the people in Jiangnan City were despicable and shameless. If something happens, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed, and she will suffer a big loss.
"Damn, it seems you really have to be careful. You must be fully prepared, otherwise you will be in trouble if something happens."
Gu Chan said secretly in her heart.
The mangy dog didn't want to talk any more and reminded, "Two days ago, the gang leader asked me to tell you that if you come back, he asked you to take time to find him. He has something to talk to you about."
"Okay, I understand, I'll go there in the afternoon." Gu Chan said.
The mangy dog smiled and nodded, said no more, got up and left.
After he left, Gu Chan continued to sit on the street, playing Allegro to beg for money. As for what the nine-fingered old beggar wanted to discuss with her, she had no idea at the moment.
On the other side, in the back garden of the Yushi Mansion.
At this time, Xuanyuan Lie and the others gathered in the pavilion again, drinking wine and chatting.
Just when they were in a good mood, the imperial guard who went to monitor Gu Chan slowly walked into the pavilion and reported to Xuanyuan Lie Bing, "Master, after Gu Chan came out of the ruined temple in the morning, he went to the East Street. I found a place to sit down and beg, and now she is begging for money like a song!”
"Hahaha... The confidant of the Ninth Prince of Tiancang Kingdom, the imperial envoy minister appointed by the Emperor, actually went to the street to become a beggar. This is really funny." Xuanyuan Lie was stunned at first, and then he opened his mouth and laughed loudly. He laughed out loud and mocked Gu Chan with disdain.
At this moment, he was really happy to the extreme. He felt that the revenge of Gu Chan who used the artillery to blow him up was finally avenged. Guo Huaize asked with a solemn expression, "Second Prince, is that kid really the emperor's imperial envoy?"
"How can this be false? I have seen the Shangfang sword in his hand. He also lied to me before, saying that he was a follower of the Imperial Envoy. The real Imperial Envoy was invisible. I really believed it. It turned out that the master came over. Later, he told me that he was the imperial envoy who came to Jiangnan to make money," Yan Xishan said angrily.
Now whenever he thinks about Gu Chan lying to him before, he becomes furious.
Xuanyuan Lie ignored the two of them, stared at the Ouchi guard and said, "Go, continue to stare at him. If there is any change, come and report to me at any time."
"Yes, Master." The Ouchi guard respectfully responded and left.
As soon as he left, Guo Huai said with a solemn face, "Second Prince, I feel something is wrong about this matter!"
"What's wrong?" Xuanyuan Lie said with a proud look on his face as he sipped the wine.
"Although Gu Chan has been forced to move even an inch by us, she won't end up living on the streets as a beggar! She could have just left the city last night and lived on a merchant ship floating on the Jiangnan River! But she not only lives in a ruined temple, but now He also became a beggar, is there any fraud involved?" Guo Huai said with a frown.
As soon as he said these words, the smile on Xuanyuan Lie's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a solemn look.
Yan Xishan also said with a stiff face, "Yeah! If Mr. Guo hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have noticed it. Now he says it like this! I think this kid has some conspiracy?"
"Hmph! No matter what conspiracy he has, I won't believe it until he brings it out. Now that we have controlled the entire situation in Jiangnan, how can he still make waves under our heavy pressure?" Xuanyuan Lie was cold. explain.
"Then the second prince, should we continue to observe him for a few more days, or should we strike while the iron is hot and directly cut off his escape route?" Guo Huai said.
Xuanyuan Lie's face darkened and he said sternly, "This kid is very cunning. We want to cut off his escape as soon as possible. You will arrange for people to go to the Jiangnan River tonight to destroy his Great China."
< br>
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, Second Prince."
The two of them agreed in unison.
Now they feel at ease. No matter what Gu Chan's plot is, as long as her escape route is cut off, she will be severely defeated, which will definitely make her worse.
In this way, even if she has a conspiracy, it will probably be difficult for her to pull it off.
What the three of them didn't know was that they had a good plan. Although Gu Chan didn't know about it, she was not idle either.
At noon, Gu Chan quietly returned to the ruined temple, wrote a secret letter with his own hand, and asked Bai Hu to send it to the Yingchun Tower in the north.
More than an hour later, Bai Hu came to Yingchun Tower to find Wei Xing, handed Gu Chan's secret letter into his hands, and then returned to East Street to protect Gu Chan.
Wei Xing and Xue Lihua were having lunch in the side room at the moment.
After getting the secret message and opening it, he read it carefully, but as he looked at it, his face became extremely stiff.
Xue Lihua sat opposite him, taking in the changes in his face. She knew that Gu Chan was in serious trouble this time, and she instantly lost the appetite to continue eating.
