Chapter 16 Peach Blossom Betting
White Stone Street.
The defense of Jia Siye’s mansion is not very tight.
The hound followed the guard listlessly, and was also yawning while patrolling.
The prosperous and noble high-ranking lords in the past have now added a bit of decay.
While waiting for the notice at the door, the girl in green observed the layout of the guards on the periphery and thoughtfully: "If I take away the head of that Si Ye Jia, will you have a waste of time?"
When Jiang Chen and Chi Yang were looking alert at the same time, the girl in green turned half of her pretty face, glanced at Jiang Chen sideways, and smiled slightly: "Little thief, you should understand now, Chi Yang can protect you for a while.
, but I can't protect you for the rest of my life! If I intentionally make trouble, you will not be able to do anything."
Jiang Chen said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
The girl in the green clothes said, "It's boring to keep stalemate like this. You don't want to drag down the hero Chiyang all the time, right? So, let's make a bet, how about it?"
"How to bet?"
"Just bet before the sun sets today, can you find the missing Mrs. Jia?" The girl in green clothes raised her hands and looked at the clouds in the sky, murmured in a low voice, "If you successfully complete the commission, get that
The reward of 5,000 taels of silver is just regarded as your life-buying money, and I will no longer cause trouble for you."
"What if I lose? I can't give you the jade pendant!"
"I won't force you. If you don't give me a jade pendant, I'll give you something on your body! Eyes, ears, tongue, fingers, toes, and life roots are all fine." The girl in green clothes raised a white finger, lightly
He shook his eyes, "The most important thing is that a man is a real man, one person does things and one person does it. If you lose, you can't ask the hero Chiyang for help anymore. How about it?"
Chiyang shouted, "Xiao Jiang, don't listen to her sweet words!"
The girl in green clothes rubbed her toes against the ground, shook her head and sighed: "Is it that the little thief like a child who has not been weaned yet, and she cannot do without the care of adults?"
Jiang Chen waved his hand: "You don't need to provoke me, you've bet with you."
He thought to himself, even if he loses, at worst I can run away with the "Wind Curse", and only a fool can see you as much as you can.
Besides, he is very sure. After all, when it comes to "finding people", his supernatural power "Secret of Void" is invincible. Even though Mrs. Jia has become a corpse and is buried in the grave, he
You can find her too!
The girl in the green clothes was thinking: I'm afraid that the person who has been missing for a month will even be gnawed by wild dogs? You guys will definitely lose! As long as there is no Chiyang in the way, let's see how I deal with you!
The two looked at each other, both of them showed confident smiles, and they said "silly" to each other.
The girl in green clothes turned to look at Chiyang: "Have you heard the hero Chiyang? The little thief has made a man's bet with me. If he loses, you are not allowed to interfere again, do you know?"
Chiyang exhaled, stared at the girl in green, and said in a deep voice: "You have to promise that if we complete the entrustment, you are not allowed to make any more ideas about this little brother!"
"I promise you." The girl in green clothes smiled gentle, "I am the most trustworthy person. As long as I give enough money, I will never regret it."
"Then, a gentleman's words are as good as hell!"
A moment later, an old butler with a fat figure came out and welcomed the three of them into the Jia Mansion and presented Qing tea.
Chiyang's name played a great role. The old housekeeper was very attentive to him, answering questions and saying everything he knew.
I learned from the old butler that over the past month, Mr. Jia Si sent more than a dozen people to find his wife's whereabouts, but he only waited for disappointment again and again, and finally became desperate.
Mr. Jia Si lost weight day by day, not thinking about tea or food, and not sleeping at night.
The old housekeeper saw it and was anxious, so he had to invite his wife's sister, Miss Gan, to comfort the master.
I thought that Miss Gan, who looked like a wife, could slightly relieve the master's heart disease, but it did not have much effect...
"Does Miss Gan look very much like a wife?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Miss Gan and his wife are born into one's own hands, and they look and behave almost exactly the same. We outsiders can't see the difference at all. Only the master can recognize it at a glance." The old butler sighed, "Sometimes I would rather the master's vision not be so good.
, there is no need to distinguish it so clearly. But although the master's health is getting worse and worse, he understands this very clearly..."
"Your master is a strange man with affection and righteousness." The girl in green was holding a teacup and staring at the thin leaves floating on the water. Her words were not polite at all, "It's you foolish slaves on the contrary
, make your own decisions, make red lines, collude with foreign thieves, deceive superiors and subordinates, it's really damn!"
The old housekeeper suddenly changed his face.
Jiang Chen quickly coughed a few times, stared at the girl in green and said, "This is someone else's family matter, do you care?"
"Little thief, don't think I don't know what bad idea you are thinking!" The girl in the green sneered, "You want to have a sneak peek and dress up Miss Gan as Mrs. Jia and send it back, so that you can cheat the five thousand taels of money.
Silver. But I tell you, fake ones are fake ones and will never become real! Mr. Jia Si has a very good vision, so don’t have such daydreams!”
Jiang Chen was seen through his thoughts, his face was very awkward, and he opened his eyes wide and said, "Why are you so dirty and innocent?"
The old butler's face was also ugly. He was about to refute the little girl's incompetence when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure at the door, and quickly got up to meet him: "Master! Why are you here?"
The person who walked in at the door was Master Jia Si.
He waved his hand and refused the old housekeeper's support, walked into the house with weak steps, and bowed to the guests present.
"The hero of Chiyang, the young hero and the heroine, the son of the inner son has been missing for many days, and I don't know how to live or die. I beg you for help. Jia is grateful!"
Jiang Chen saw his appearance clearly at this time.
Master Jia Si is like a weak scholar, with a sense of stubbornness hidden under his thin and haggard appearance.
Jiang Chen sighed inwardly and silently gave up his plan to "replace the pillars".
Chi Yang stood up and returned the gift: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to give the Fourth Master an explanation!"
Even the girl in Cuiyi said, "How can someone with a lovely strange man like the Fourth Master, how can they bear to let you down?"
Both sides politely said that Mr. Jia Si was ill and could not stay for a long time. After urging the old housekeeper to cooperate with the knights, he sued him for guilt and left.
The knights continued to ask Mrs. Jia about her situation, hoping to find some clues about her disappearance from the many trivial matters of Mrs. Jia’s daily life.
"The wife rarely gets along with men alone. Most of her friends are noble daughters and maids with status. They often hold high-end banquets and invite famous figures in Xiliao City..."
"The lady is very particular about life style and requires that the servants around her must also speak gracefully and have noble character. She often takes her servants to enjoy elegant music..."
"On the birthday party, a stage was set up in the yard and a new small show was booked. The lady went to the door to greet her friends, but she disappeared on the way out-the servant in the yard watched her walk out, the guards outside the door
But I didn't see her going out..."
Jiang Chen was listening attentively, suddenly a servant came over and whispered in his ear.
Jiang Chen's expression immediately became a little strange. He winked at Chiyang, quietly left the main hall, and followed the servant to go.
Miss Gan was waiting for him in the study.
Jiang Chen originally wanted to meet this Miss Gan to see if he could use some special means to make her "Madam Jia" into "Ms. Jia", but he gave up this plan after seeing Mr. Jia Si. Unexpectedly, Miss Gan actually did not expect that
