Chapter 141: Darkness and blindness
"Everyone has to be restrained this year. Shangguan Zheng's old guy can even cause storms in the capital. The body of the Jinyiwei has not been found until now. I still feel uneasy."
The person who said this sat in the main seat of the study. It was obvious that this was the real person in charge of the Wei family, Wei Youcai.
As soon as Wei Youcai finished speaking, Han Zhi, who was sitting in his lower left hand, also looked worried. He pinched the goatee on his chin and said, "The entire fog river has basically been searched all over, but the body of the Jinyiwei has not been found. Could it be that he was not dead at all?"
"Can you survive if you fall into the river after three arrows? I don't believe it. There is no such person in this world who is as tough as a life." Zhang Incheon shook his head. However, his brows were locked tightly when he said this.
Zhao Pu of the Zhao family patted his thigh and said, "No, we must not take this risk. It is too dangerous to keep the Jinyiwei. I might as well spend a lot of money to ask the local salt owl to search from house to house."
"I think it's OK." Wei Youcai nodded in support of Zhao Pu's words. After all, it's not easy for everyone to get to the current family business. Every step you take must be more cautious, otherwise not only will the wealth of wealth be lost, but even their heads will probably have to be implemented.
After everyone agreed, the matter was left to Zhao Pu to handle. It seemed that he would be more familiar with the salt owls in Yongning Mansion.
After talking about Zhong Bin's affairs, the four major salt merchants began to pay the bills seriously. Jiang Xia saw that each of them took out a thick stack of accounts and a large stack of documents, similar to receipts, bills and other things.
Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, and he really gained a lot today. One was to learn about Zhong Bin's whereabouts, and the other was to see the account books of the four major salt merchants.
Jiang Xia continued to lie on the roof and waited without moving.
After about a while, Wei Youcai said, "Everyone, it's getting late. Those scholars should be coming soon. Let's go back to the rest of the account tonight."
"Okay." The other three salt merchants nodded immediately.
The four of them wrapped their respective books and documents with brocade cloth, and then handed them over to Wei Youcai. Jiang Xia clearly saw Wei Youcai turning a inkstone on the desk, and then a painting in the study was automatically moved away.
Wei Youcai used a key on his body to open an iron cabinet, and then put the account books of the four companies in it.
Jiang Xia witnessed all this and then secretly retreated.
He walked to the playground of the main courtyard of the atrium and found Yin Jiaojiao. Yin Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Xia like an alien. She couldn't help asking, "What are you doing? Why did you spend so long in the cottage?"
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "This is too big. I took the wrong path as soon as I went there, and then I didn't find the way back until now."
After saying that, Jiang Xia said to Yin Jiaojiao: "Okay, I feel uncomfortable. I won't participate in the next links. Should you continue playing here for a while or go with me?"
"You are feeling unwell, of course I will follow you. On the way, you can listen at the door of Huichuntang. I will ask Dr. Ma to go to the mansion to help you with your diagnosis and treatment."
"Okay." Jiang Xia nodded and left with Yin Jiaojiao.
After leaving Taifu, Jiang Xia seemed to suddenly remember something. He said to Yin Jiaojiao: "By the way, I still have something to buy. You go back to the mansion first, and I will go back to the mansion myself later."
After saying that, Jiang Xia ran away without waiting for Yin Jiaojiao to answer.
Yin Jiaojiao shouted loudly: "Hey, didn't you say you were feeling uncomfortable?"
Soon Jiang Xia ran into a street and disappeared. Yin Jiaojiao stamped her feet, got on the carriage and went back home first.
After walking into the streets and alleys, Jiang Xia met Han Mufeng. He smiled and said, "Haven Han, the drama he performed was good just now. It seems that he was acting in his true nature."
Han Mufeng smiled slightly and said, "I don't know whether I am a true character or not, but I understand very well that you must not be a true character."
"You have learned bad things, and your mouth is becoming more and more like me." Jiang Xia quipped.
Han Mufeng shook his head and looked ashamed: "Where is nowhere, no matter how much, no matter how much, no matter how much."
Jiang Xia smiled for a moment and his face became serious. He whispered: "I found out that Zhong Bin's whereabouts. He fell into the Wu River. From today on, you should not go back to Yin's mansion. Go directly to find Zhong Bin along the Wu River."
"Okay." Han Mufeng nodded and responded.
Jiang Xia said: "Be careful, because the four major salt merchants also looked for Yan Xiao and were looking for Zhong Bin. You must find him one step ahead of them."
"I understand." Han Mufeng said.
After saying that, Jiang Xia and Han Mufeng separated. He did not return to Yin's mansion, but left Yongning Mansion. Jiang Xia, who had originally walked out of the city, rode a horse back when he returned to the city.
It was almost dusk when he returned to the city. After Jiang Xia returned to Yin's mansion, he handed over the horses to the servants of Yin's mansion to feed them, and then returned to the small courtyard in the east wing.
As night fell, Jiang Xia walked out of the small courtyard of the east wing in a night-distance dress. He walked around the guards of Yin's mansion and left the Yin's mansion, and then headed straight for Tai's mansion.
Taifu backyard, Wei Jingjing's boudoir.
At this moment, a group of salt merchants in Taifu were having dinner with the scholars on the playground of the main courtyard, and Wei Jingjing was not interested in attending, so she stayed in her boudoir.
She sat by the window, and unconsciously wrote down one name after another on paper with a brush, and those names were all exactly the same three words - Jiang Fuqing.
Bang bang bang suddenly there was a knock on the door outside Wei Jingjing's door. She was slightly shocked, and the first thought in her heart was: "Can he be here?"
Wei Jingjing stood up excitedly and nervously to open the door. When she saw the visitor, her face suddenly fell down.
It's not Jiang Xia, it's Huang Jue.
Huang Jue said to Wei Jingjing excitedly: "Jingjing, I have won the leader, I have won the leader of the Taifu Banquet!"
Wei Jingjing's face was cold, and she said coldly: "Did you call Jingjing? Why did you come to my boudoir to knock on the door in the middle of the night? Get out of here immediately, I don't want to see you. Is it great to have a leader? If Brother Jiang Fuqing hadn't participated in the Taifu Banquet later, you would have a leader? Get out!"
Huang Jue was scolded by Wei Jingjing and was stunned and stunned. He didn't come back to his senses until Wei Jingjing suddenly closed the door.
Wei Jingjing turned around and yelled softly as soon as she closed the door. Because Jiang Xia walked and stood only a few centimeters away from her, the tip of the two of them was almost touching.
Wei Jingjing's low cry immediately made Jiang Xia reach out and block her waist, then covered her mouth with her hands.
Huang Jue outside the door realized something was wrong, and he immediately slapped the door and asked, "Jingjing, what happened to you? Are you okay?"
"Get out! If you ask me Jingjing again, I will find someone to break your leg!" Wei Jingjing was afraid that Jiang Xia would misunderstand, so she said very decisively.
Huang Jue was scolded by Wei Jingjing, so he naturally had no face to stay still, so he turned around and walked away.
When Huang Jue left, Wei Jingjing looked at Jiang Xia and said, "Brother Jiang, you are this."
"I miss you, so come and see you. Don't get me wrong, I just come and see you with no other intentions." Jiang Xia said.
Wei Jingjing was shy and happy, and she immediately chattered Jiang Xia and asked questions. However, Jiang Xia deliberately ran in and waited in Wei Jingjing's room. He wanted to sneak in in the middle of the night, and then wait for the four major salt merchants to finish the accounts and then steal the account book in the middle of the night.
Wei Jingjing and Jiang Xia were talking, and Jiang Xia was concerned about the account book, so she chatted with her in a mess.
Suddenly, Jiang Xia heard footsteps approaching Wei Jingjing's door. He frowned and immediately covered Wei Jingjing's mouth and said, "Don't talk, someone is here."
Not long after Jiang Xia finished speaking, Wei Jingjing's door was knocked on.
Wei Jingjing thought it was still Huang Jue, so she shouted: "Get out! I told you not to come again, didn't you hear me?"
After saying that, Wei Jingjing felt that she seemed to be too fierce, so she whispered: "I am not that fierce."
Jiang Xia smiled and said nothing. Is your eldest lady Wei fierce? Haven’t I seen it before?
A voice came from outside the door: "Jingjing, who is messing with you? Even you, Dad, are you?"
"Ah? Dad?" Wei Jingjing suddenly became nervous. She said, "No, Dad, I don't know it's you. Why don't you rest after being so late, Dad?"
"Dad just finished talking to your Uncle Zhao, Uncle Han and the others, and now he is ready to go to bed. Seeing that there is no fire in your room, I ask why you haven't slept yet."
"Oh. I'm sleeping with my dad." After saying that, Wei Jingjing quickly went to blow off the candlelight.
Wei Youcai laughed twice, shook his head and said, "Okay, that dad is sleeping too."
After saying that, Wei Youcai left.
The room was pitch black, with only Wei Jingjing and Jiang Xia left. The whole room seemed very quiet, and even the sound of breathing was clearly heard.
When Jiang Xia heard Wei Youcai leave, he was sure that Wei Youcai and the others should have finished their accounts today. Such a thick account book would definitely be incorrect today, so the account book must be still in Wei Youcai's study.
Jiang Xia was about to leave, and he had just opened his mouth and said the word "me", when suddenly Wei Jingjing rushed into Jiang Xia's arms and breathed rapidly.
I believe that men understand what this means. Wei Jingjing kept pushing her body into Jiang Xia's arms. She was already plump and felt very good when she hugged her arms. Jiang Xia's heart beat violently for several times. He struggled to separate Wei Jingjing and said, "Jingjing, we can't do this. It's wrong to call a matchless person in this way. I will give you a title and come to you later."
"Brother Jiang." Wei Jingjing was even more moved when she heard Jiang Xia say this. She hugged Jiang Xia tightly.
Jiang Xia was still held by him, but he was thinking about the account book in his heart.
Finally, Wei Jingjing and Jiang Xia separated. Jiang Xia kissed her forehead accurately and said, "I'll leave first, come again tomorrow night."
After saying that, Jiang Xia jumped out of the window and left.
After leaving Wei Jingjing's door, Jiang Xia went straight to Wei Youcai's study.
There were still two guards standing in front of the study. Jiang Xia rushed over without any consideration and knocked down the two guards in a flash.
