Chapter 91 Life is in danger! (Additional update for the leader, I am a little bookworm)
After getting rid of the idiot Jia Ye, Jiang Shouzhong was about to go to the Silver Moon Tower, but he met an acquaintance halfway, it was Zheng who had stolen from Zhao Wanchang's house before. Yamazaki.
In the prison at that time, Jiang Shouzhong asked him some things about Ge Dasheng and got important clues.
As for Zheng Shanqi, Jiang Shouzhong didn't have a very good impression of him. After all, he was gambling and stealing, and he was talking about cheating without telling the truth. There is a reason why he can hang out with people like Ge Dasheng.
Seeing Jiang Shouzhong, Zheng Shanqi nodded and bowed in greeting, with a smile on his face, "Good morning, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and asked: "Where are you going to steal things again this time?"
Zheng Shanqi's expression changed, and he quickly raised his two fingers and swore: "Master Jiang, I have changed my ways, and I will never do it again." No gambling, no stealing. I swore in front of Mr. Liao that I would be a good person this time."
Jiang Shouzhong twitched his lips.
You can’t believe even half of a gambler’s words.
Jiang Shouzhong suddenly remembered that when he asked the other party in the prison last time, the guy said that someone seemed to be trafficking in human beings, and he asked casually, "Have you told Lao Liao that you saw someone abducting girls?"
"I told you, but he didn't believe it."
Zheng Shanqi looked helpless.
Jiang Shouzhong sneered, "With Lao Liao's character, although I don't believe you, I must have taken people to see it, which means it's not true. You never say a word of truth, you just think about how to lie to people."
Hearing this, Zheng Shanqi became anxious, "I really didn't lie. I saw it with my own eyes, just over there at the Xichu Pavilion."
Jiang Shouzhong, who was about to leave, suddenly said He stood still and stared at the other person, "Where are you talking about?"
Zheng Shanqi was frightened by the other party's eyes, and said calmly: "It's near Xichu."
Jiang Shouzhong frowned.
Why is it this Xi Chu Pavilion again?
The rabbit demon was injured by the Xichu Pavilion. The woman who fell into the water and was saved by the Xichu Pavilion on the night of the first year of junior high school was also from the Xichu Pavilion. Now it is related to human trafficking... Of course, the premise is that Zheng Shanqi has not lie.
Jiang Shouzhong came up with the idea of going to the Xichu Pavilion to investigate.
But he quickly rejected it.
Once it is related to a place like Xi Chu Pavilion, investigation is like falling into a deep swamp, and it will be difficult to get out. In particular, the oiran named Qin Shier took the initiative to come and explained the problem.
Having spent half a year in Liumen, the capital, Jiang Shouzhong is no fool.
Some cases will be investigated if they can be investigated, and confused if they can be confused. And even if you want to investigate, the superiors can force you to do so.
Seeing Jiang Shouzhong stop, Zheng Shanqi thought that the other party was interested, and said quickly: "Sir, if I lie this time, I will be struck by lightning. I saw that among the girls who were trafficked, it seemed that He Lanlan, He Daya’s daughter, how about you bring some people and I will lead the way..."
Zheng Shanqi finally stated his purpose, "If you save those girls, it will be considered a great achievement, right? Mr. Jiang, do you think you can help me find a job? You can't get in through the six doors, but the county government can do it. "
Jiang Shouzhong smiled, "You have a good plan."
Zheng Shanqi laughed and said, "I really want to change my ways, but no one wants me. I hate going to the dock to help carry goods. Isn't it a good thing to be able to ask for a favor? More importantly, I have fallen in love with a girl..."
Looking at the other party's coquettish expression, Jiang Shouzhong looked sternly. His expression softened a little.
It would not be a shame if you could change your past for a woman.
Hearing the other party mention a girl named "He Lanlan", Jiang Shouzhong remembered that the girl that Mrs. Yinyuelou asked him to help find seemed to be He Daya's daughter He Lanlan.
Is this a pillow for you if you feel sleepy?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Shouzhong patted Zheng Shanqi's arm and said: "I will verify it. If you didn't lie to me, I will spend some favors to help you get a good job. Then you If we really get married to that girl, I can give you any gift or money."
"Oh, then I'd like to thank Mr. Jiang first, you are my reborn parents."
< < br>
"Okay."
Zheng Shanqi smiled brightly.
......
As the largest dark force in the continental dynasty, Yinyuelou's business is spread all over the world, including restaurants and teahouses, hotels and residences, gambling houses and escort bureaus, silk fabrics, perfumes, and pawns. Waiting for many kinds of businesses.
It is even said that Hongzhuang Pavilion, one of the three most romantic houses in the capital, is also the property of Yin Yue Tower.
Jiang Shouzhong was standing under the luxurious pavilion, looking up at the layers of eaves, surrounded by vermilion railings, and the glazed tiles on the roof that shone golden in the sun. He couldn't help but sigh, "I am worthy of being a local emperor, even if I take off a piece of glazed tiles." Bricks can probably support me for several years.”
Some people’s wealth is desirable, while some people’s wealth can only be looked up to.
Hearing Jiang Shouzhong explain his intention, the guards went to report.
Soon, a familiar figure in black came.
Just as Jiang Shouzhong was about to say hello, the woman in black asked coldly: "Did you save my third sister?"
Third sister?
Jiang Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, staring at the beautiful young woman in front of him who looked exactly like Qiu Ye, and then he realized that he had identified the wrong person, it should be Laosi Dongxue.
Jiang Shouzhong clasped his fists, "I have met Miss Dongxue. I saved your third sister."
"Third sister told you my name?"
Dong Xue He asked with a frown.
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, "Before at He Daya's house, I heard the lady call her two names, one was 'Xia He' and the other was 'Dong Xue'. Since you call Miss Qiuye the third sister, then you are Dong Xue." ”
“Quite smart.”
Dong Xue muttered, took out a large ingot of gold and handed it to the other party, “You are here to ask for reward, take it. "
Jiang Shouzhong didn't reach for it, "Can I see Madam?"
"No, just get the reward and leave immediately, don't push yourself too hard!" Dong Xue waved rudely! drive away.
"Dongxue!"
At this time, another slender figure came.
The woman glared at her sister, who turned her back to Jiang Shouzhong and made a face at the woman. The previous indifference was immediately replaced by quirky playfulness, as if she was a different person.
Qiuye ignored her sister and glanced at Jiang Shouzhong. Thinking of the scene of the two healing, a faint blush passed over her cheeks, and then she said in an indifferent voice: "What reward do you want? It's too expensive. I can’t take it out. I’m just a guard, not as precious as you think.”
“I want to see Madam, okay?”
Jiang Shouzhong knew that the woman in front of him was Qiuye, and asked with a smile.
Qiuye frowned slightly, a little embarrassed, and finally said to his sister Dongxue: "Go and ask the madam for permission to see if she wants to see him."
I wanted to say something. When Dongxue saw her sister narrowing her eyes, she closed her mouth knowingly and turned around to leave.
The two people were left at the door, silent to each other.
The woman in tight black clothes had her back straight, as if she were an unsheathed long sword, and the sharp edge was cold. Jiang Shouzhong couldn't help but think of the cold and stunning appearance of the other party that night.
"Um..." Jiang Shouzhong was at a loss for words, "How is your recovery from your injury?"
Qiuye pursed her pink lips and said nothing.
The woman's lack of conversation made Jiang Shouzhong a little embarrassed, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
"There's nothing wrong with your body, right?"
Qiuye suddenly asked.
Jiang Shouzhong knew that the other party was asking about the poisonous bead he had swallowed, and shook his head, "There is nothing wrong. It's time to eat and sleep."
Jiang Shouzhong deliberately concealed something.
In fact, after holding the funeral for Zhang’s mother, he found out that the poison bead’s toxin had been absorbed by the Yin Fu villain. In other words, he is basically immune to all poisons now.
Qiuye nodded and stopped talking.
After a while, Dongxue came back. She glanced at Jiang Shouzhong with her beautiful eyes and said to Qiuye: "Madam asked us to take him there."
"Let's go."
Qiuye turned around Leading the way, deliberately keeping distance from Jiang Shouzhong. After walking a few steps, I felt that my behavior was too deliberate. I was afraid that my sister would misunderstand something, so I slowed down a little.
At the corner of the corridor, while her sister was not paying attention, she whispered a reminder, "Don't say anything about helping me heal my wounds."
Jiang Shouzhong was stunned for a moment and nodded lightly. .
Led by the two women, Jiang Shouzhong arrived at a two-story internal attic.
The furnishings in the building are luxurious, with many exquisite ceramics, jades and bronzes placed. The embroidered curtains hang low. Jiang Shouzhong steps on the woolen fabrics covered with delicate carpets, as if every step he takes is like stepping on clouds. above.
The most magical thing is the glass lantern hanging on the roof. Jiang Shouzhong has seen it before in Ran Mansion. It is said to be from overseas. When it is lit at night, it looks like stars falling into the world. It is extremely beautiful.
The one in Ranfu is much smaller than this one.
Jiang Shouzhong couldn't help but sigh, whoever marries this lady from Yinyuelou will really marry a mountain of gold and silver.
He originally thought that the two of them would take him upstairs, but after pushing open a delicate arched door, he came to an extremely spacious garden, with rockeries, flowing water, and exotic flowers and plants, just like a vivid Jiangnan garden.
We walked around the winding corridor and finally stopped at a small garden.
The Mrs. Yinyuelou whom Jiang Shouzhong had met before was now sitting in a transparent pavilion made of ice. The pavilion is made of water essence and colorless glass. The cool and soft sunlight shines through the pavilion on the woman, making her look like a charming goddess in a fairyland garden, blurred and dreamy.
Outside the pavilion, there were two dashing and handsome female guards in black.
The appearance is also the same as Qiuye.
"Master Jiang, we meet again, we are quite destined."
The owner behind Yinyue Tower, the beautiful woman known as "the wealthiest woman in the world" looked at Jiang Shouzhong with a smile. The beautiful feet with two lotus tips at the bottom intersect with each other in a lazy and charming posture.
The woman is wearing a silver-pressed tulip skirt and a tulle shirt. The pink shoulders and neck are vaguely visible.
Jiang Shouzhong calmed down, suppressed the shock and amazement in his heart along the way, raised his hands and saluted, "Six Doors Jiang Mo has seen Madam, so I'm sorry for disturbing Madam's rest."
Jiang Shouzhong deliberately did not mention saving Qiu Ye.
After all, I am indeed here to get paid, so it’s good that everyone knows it.
But the woman was very straightforward, "Are you here to ask for reward?"
Jiang Shouzhong hesitated for a moment, then simply nodded calmly.
The woman named Jiang Yi held her summer hat on her side, caressing the thin, sweet white tea cup with her slender jade fingers like peeling onions, and said with a soft smile: "Autumn leaves are my heart's treasure. You saved her. This great kindness can't be offset by a few pieces of gold, but I don't know how to thank you. Alas, what should I do? ”
The woman’s slender little finger caressed her delicate forehead, showing a look of distress.
Qiuye lowered his head, expressionless.
Dong Xue's smart eyes kept glancing back and forth at the third sister and Jiang Shouzhong, with a thoughtful expression.
The boss Chunyu showed a hint of worry.
The second child, Xia He, looked as cold as ever, as if his muscles, bones, skin and flesh were all made of ice, and his beautiful eyes were cold.
The quadruplets have the same stature and appearance, but show completely different personalities.
Just as Jiang Shouzhong was about to speak, the woman suddenly thought of some solution. She straightened her soft waist and patted her hands lightly. She smiled at Qiuye like a child and said, "Since I can't thank you, I won't thank you. So, as the saying goes Once the grudge is settled, a hundred will be settled. Qiuye, just kill this Master Jiang. Don’t worry, killing a six-door lantern is a trivial matter. I’ll take care of it for you.”
When he came out, Qiuye was stunned.
Jiang Shouzhong raised his eyebrows, not expecting the woman's temperament to change so quickly.
At this time he suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake. Similarly, Miss Qiuye also made a fatal mistake.
Yinyuelou is not a good person, and does not talk about the morality of the world.
Qiuye said before that he asked her for payment. And Miss Dongxue even hinted that "don't push too far", obviously reminding Jiang Shouzhong that saving a guard and saving the master are two different things.
Rescue the guard and ask the guard for reward.
Asking the owner is tantamount to asking for the wrong person.
But Qiuye rashly asked his master whether to see Jiang Shouzhong, which was a violation of the rules. It was like taking his savior to ask for reward from his master, thus invisibly overstepping the hierarchy between master and servant.
If the master refuses to give it, he appears to be petty and ruthless to his subordinates.
If the master gives it, can others follow suit in the future? Do you really think that the master’s property is your treasury?
“I give it to you” and “you come to ask for it” are two different things.
More importantly, women need to test whether you Qiuye accidentally broke the rules or had some bonding relationship with your savior, so you preferred your lover.
If it’s the latter... we’re in big trouble.
After all, no master wants to see his servants favor outsiders.
Loyalty is the most priceless.
So the woman is nominally deciding Jiang Mo’s life and death, but in fact, she is deciding Qiu Ye’s life and death.
After thinking about this, cold sweat broke out on Jiang Shouzhong's spine. Just as he was about to explain, he saw Qiu Ye showing hesitation.
Now Jiang Shouzhong understood that the woman had stepped into the Palace of Hell.
Even if he explained, it was a little late.
Also anxious is the eldest sister Chunyu. She has a better understanding of her master's temperament than the other three. She had a bad premonition when Dongxue came to report just now, but unfortunately she couldn't give a hint to her third sister.
Seeing that the third sister was hesitant to her master's order, she decided to kill Jiang Shouzhong first.
However, the next moment, an unexpected scene occurred.
Jiang Shouzhong suddenly drew his sword and slashed at the autumn leaf closest to her!
At this moment, the cultivation he showed was that of a third-grade martial artist. Although the speed of drawing the sword was much faster than before, in the eyes of many masters, it was like a child playing with a sword.
Qiuye subconsciously drew his knife to fight back.
Cang!
Amidst the clanging sound, Jiang Shouzhong's knife was shaken and fell out of his hand.
But then, Jiang Shouzhong's body suddenly swayed, as if he had been blown by the wind.
Chasing the Wind Step!
The moment Qiu Ye came with the sword, Jiang Shouzhong's whole body momentum changed, and his realm instantly rose to that of 'Grandmaster Xiaoxuan'. He walked sideways around Qiu Ye like a ghost.
While Qiuye was surprised, a familiar firecracker pressed against her head.
Everyone present was shocked.
The woman Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It turns out he is a master of Master Xiaoxuan, he is hidden deep enough."
The other three women drew their swords and surrounded Jiang Shouzhong.
Jiang Shouzhong grabbed Qiu Ye's slender neck, pressed the blunderbuss against the latter's temple, and stared at Jiang Yi coldly, "Madam, I came here this time, firstly, to thank Madam for rescuing the siege last time. Secondly, , I have some clues about what Madam confessed at He Daya's house before. Madam said before that you will be generous to me if you have any clues.
Just now, Miss Qiuye and I were outside the door. After talking about this, she was willing to bring me to see you. So I didn’t come here to ask for Miss Qiuye’s life-saving reward. Even if I wanted it, I would naturally ask for it from Miss Qiuye.”
Dong Xue's eyes flashed.
Just now at the door, Jiang Shouzhong didn't say this to the third sister.
The corners of the girl's lips were slightly raised, but she was speechless.
