Chapter 240 Clothes Shop Undercurrent

In June, a brief moment of peace allowed Jiang Zuiyao to calm down, no longer agitated, no longer on the verge of getting angry, just as calm as water, without any trace of ripples.

However, when Jiang Zuiyao was alone, she would sometimes smile inexplicably, and sometimes she would want to hide and cry bitterly.

But these are irrelevant.

When Jiang Zuiyao woke up in the morning, the unattended flowerbed was full of wild flowers. She gently bent down and stared at the small parachute of the dandelion. She raised her head and glanced at the blue sky, took a deep breath, and blew hard, "

With a sound of "hoo", the dandelion was blown to pieces.

Jiang Zuiyao was stunned for a moment, remembering the summer she traveled through, which was also a summer like this. At that time, she was still worried about the situation of the Shao family. Now it seems that those hardships are nothing compared with the present.

"Madam, the young master has asked you to do something." The sudden voice interrupted Jiang Zuiyao's thoughts. When he looked back, it was Chi Rong.

"What's the matter?" When replying, Jiang Zuiyao secretly hid the remaining dandelion in her sleeve.

"The young master said, let you go to the clothing store in the city." Chirong's words made Jiang Zuiyao's heart tremble. She knew that was where the imperial city department of the country was located.

"Okay, I'll put on some clothes and go." Jiang Zuiyao walked into the dormitory calmly. Chi Rong did not follow, but chose to leave.

Jiang Zuiyao, who returned to the dormitory, had to consider the matter carefully, secretly wrote a note, and went out without daring to stay too long.

Chi Rong followed them all the way, and their uniform clothes were particularly eye-catching. The "Zhao" organization founded by Shao Ziqing is already well known in this country, so looking at the clothes they wear, you can tell that they are "Zhao"

people.

When they arrived at the door of the clothing store, Chirong stopped and Jiang Zuiyao asked, "Aren't you going in?"

Chi Rong shook his head: "I'll wait for you outside."

At this moment, Jiang Zuiyao immediately realized something. If she went in without asking any questions at this moment, it would definitely arouse Shao Ziqing's suspicion, so she asked: "Then what did Shao Ziqing ask me to do?"

Chirong replied: "It's summer, and the young master asked you to buy some good cloth, and I want black ones."

"How much?"

"The more the better. At least twenty or thirty people need to wear it. Come and pick it up in seven days."

Jiang Zuiyao didn't ask any more questions and entered the clothing store pretending to be nonchalant.

After entering the clothing store, a waiter came to take care of her. Seeing Jiang Zuiyao dressed in black and lotus clothes, his face became gloomy, but he still pretended to welcome the guests and asked, "I wonder what the girl needs?"

Jiang Zuiyao said: "If there is good material, I want it to be black."

The waiter nodded, picked out a piece of cloth, and said, "Girl, what do you think of this material?"

Jiang Zuiyao stepped forward and touched the fabric, seemingly looking at the material, but in fact she looked around and found that there was no one else in the store except the waiter, so she said: "Isn't there anything better? It's hot in summer, so I need something more breathable.

.”

"Girl, look at this. It's silk and satin from another country. It's hard to find in this country."

Jiang Zuiyao stepped forward and took a look. The ingredients were good, but her heart was not in it at all. She thought about it and said, "Where's your shopkeeper?"

The waiter immediately became vigilant: "What is the girl doing with the shopkeeper?"

"I need a lot of ingredients, so I want to talk to your shopkeeper."

"I wonder how much the girl wants?"

"One car."

Such a huge quantity really surprised the waiter. He took a look at the materials on Jiang Zuiyao's body and seemed to have guessed something. After thinking about it, he said: "Wait a moment, miss. I'll call the shopkeeper out right away."

After a while, the so-called shopkeeper walked out, the gentleman who opened the door for Jiang Zuiyao and Yi Chen that night.

The people in the Imperial City Department are all shrewd. The moment the gentleman saw Jiang Zuiyao, he recognized her, but he still stepped forward and smiled as if it was the first time he met her: "Did the girl like this piece of cloth?"

Jiang Zuiyao nodded and secretly looked at Chi Rong outside, who was standing across the street.

"This material is not available in this country. If you want a car, girl, you have to wait."

No need to ask, the material must have been brought from the Rong Dynasty.

But it didn't matter. Jiang Zuiyao deliberately turned around with her back to the door, that is, to Chi Rong outside, and put her hands into her sleeves: "Can the shopkeeper please say a few words?"

At this moment, the waiter's hand had secretly reached into the counter and gripped the sword hidden in the counter. As long as Jiang Zuiyao made any aggressive move, he would immediately fight.

As a man from the imperial city who can hide in plain sight in a humble country, my husband did not panic and asked, "Miss, please tell me."

Jiang Zuiyao pinched the note in her sleeve and said: "Escape from desperate situations."

The husband reacted immediately and replied: "No, it will come in peace."

When the code was matched, Jiang Zuiyao took out the note, quickly stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand, and said, "I'll pick it up in seven days."

The shopkeeper quickly held the note in his hand, nodded and said: "Okay, but the girl has to pay a deposit."

Jiang Zuiyao nodded, the two signed the contract, paid the deposit, and Jiang Zuiyao left the clothing store.

On the way back, Jiang Zuiyao asked: "Why did Shao Ziqing ask me to do this for such a trivial matter?"

Chi Rong replied indifferently: "My subordinates also obey orders and do things. I don't know the specific reasons."

It seemed that Chi Rong was planning not to say anything.

This matter is by no means as simple as it seems.

Shao Ziqing must have had doubts about this clothing store, otherwise why would he specifically ask her to come here? It seemed like it was just a matter of purchasing cloth, but in fact, Shao Ziqing must have had other intentions.

Naturally, Jiang Zuiyao would not ask any more questions. Talking too much would lead to mistakes. At this time, he could not talk more.

The shopkeeper received the note and immediately sent it to Zhang Yunian. He hadn't returned to Rong Dynasty yet, so he quickly opened it to read the note.

On the narrow piece of paper, there were a few lines of words written concisely.

Shao Ziqing founded "Zhao" and recruited capable people to destroy the imperial city. Wuxian was in the country.

With a few brief words in his eyes, Zhang Yunian in the darkroom burned the note. With a gloomy face, he thought for a long time and said, "What else did she leave?"

The shopkeeper replied: "I'm just talking about buying cloth, nothing else."

"What kind of cloth should I buy?"

"I want fine satin and black cloth, and I want a cart of it. I'll pick it up in seven days."

Zhang Yunian immediately frowned and realized something. He said seriously: "We can't stay in this place anymore. Send someone quickly to bring a cart of black cloth."

The shopkeeper responded and planned to leave and follow the instructions.

But before he had taken a few steps, Zhang Yunian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wait!"

The shopkeeper stopped and asked, "Do you have any other instructions, sir?"

Zhang Yunian immediately said nervously: "You and I can leave, and the others can stay. I'm afraid that in seven days, Shao Ziqing will slaughter this clothing store."

The shopkeeper was immediately shocked: "If that's the case, why don't you take people to escape?"

Zhang Yunian said extremely seriously: "If this is the case, Jiang Zuiyao will be betrayed. We must not let Shao Ziqing doubt her, otherwise her situation will be difficult. She will take away the confidential things and leave some useless ones. If she takes

If it is too clean, it will make Shao Ziqing suspicious."

This is inevitably a bit cruel. In order to save Jiang Zuiyao, Zhang Yunian had to give up a lot of his life.

But in the face of great national events, there must always be sacrifices.

At this time, the shopkeeper raised a question: "If you trust that girl so much, aren't you afraid that the news coming is false?"

Zhang Yunian said in a solemn tone: "Don't worry about people who are suspicious of you. Don't be suspicious of people who are employed. Just do as you are told."
