Chapter 269 The snake and scorpion also blushed

Gong Zi and Juliana were both resentful when walking. Perhaps no matter how old or old, women who were disturbed by makeup would always have this expression.

"This damn old man, doesn't he understand that things can be done during the day? Come here at this time..."

It was probably because of his age that when the old man with a gray beard came to the Aden Fortress, it was already tingling bright, about four or five o'clock in the morning, and this time was often the time when people were most sleepy. When he came at this time, he would definitely make Gong Zi unhappy. Gong Zi was unhappy, and there were many things that could be done, and maybe there might be problems!

As for Juliana, when she saw the old man, she felt a lot of sympathy.

He had a wrinkled face. Although it could be seen from his skin and clothing that he had a good living standard. But he was indeed quite old, with a grey and white beard hanging all the way to his abdomen. There was a knife on his neck. As long as there was a little movement, the soldiers of the Military Law Department who were escorting him would not mind cutting his head off his neck.

Perhaps it was too tired to climb the mountain overnight, and his servant could still kneel there, but he could only sit halfway underground. It can be seen from his scarred hands and the broken holes on his clothes that he suffered a lot in the middle of the night.

"Old... Old man, who are you!"

When the old man raised his head and came in, he was the old financial officer who had been following the little Ashlever City Lord, the former Aden Province.

The night of hard work made his face gray and his eyes drooped heavily, as if the flesh on his face was already overwhelmed. Julianna asked gently and sympathetically, which made him smile reluctantly.

"I...I am..."

At this time, Gong Zi, who had been watching him, suddenly screamed.

"Well, who do I think it is? Are you not the old finance minister in the Aden province? I heard that when you came to the little lord Ashlever, why did you appear here again? Like a fence-bearing man, it is not a good habit to have the wind on the side!"

Although the old finance minister had never heard of the Song Dynasty jokes, the meaning in the words was clear. A haggard old face turned red, showing a embarrassed look.

Listening to Gong Zi's words, Juliana looked carefully and realized that Gong Zi was exactly what she said. She recalled his promise to Zhao Fubo in the fortress, and also recalled that he mobilized those Aden officials to go to various cities to report the news. Most of these things were caused by his instigation.

Although whether he was instigating or not, the Aden Fortress was besieged and Zhao Fubo went to attack the western cities of Aden. But looking at this capricious person, Juliana still stood up and was far away. It was not that this old man would have some danger, but that he was really hard to believe in his capricious character.

At this time, the younger servant who was following the old man suddenly smiled on his face.

"Dear Master, I am the subordinate of Mrs. Fatima. I am ordered to monitor him. Today he comes to the fortress and there is indeed an important thing to tell you. Moreover, as far as I know, he may have the position of the secret vault of Governor Ashleff!"

There are quite a lot of property found in the Aden Fortress. Compared with Zhao Fubo's poverty over the years, the wealth found in the Aden Fortress has already shocked Zhao Fubo. Gong Zi never thought that there would be such a large property in the city of Aden.

But now when he heard the servant in front of him say this, the expression on Gong Zi's face immediately changed. At first, the blame slowly faded away, and then a smile rippled. As the red lips stretched, Gong Zi's most distinctive charming smile unfolded.

"Oh, so that's the case. There is a place in the Aden Fortress... Oh, sir, please sit down first, let's sit down and say! Linda, go and get a cup of hot tea for the old man. After climbing the mountain for half a night, it's just a cup of tea to cheer up!"

The old finance minister glanced at his servant in surprise, then turned his head to look at Gong Zi. It seemed that she was a fairy. Although he was so old, he had never seen a woman who changed her face so quickly.

This matter is not a difficult task for Gong Zi, who is used to being a businessman. If she didn't even have this ability, how could she manage the huge Ruiyu Village? The smile on Gong Zi's face, if it were described, was like a bright forsythia flower swaying in the wind.

Juliana, who was standing beside her, looked at Gong Zi in surprise, this woman who had an "imperfect relationship" with her. Although Juliana knew that Gong Zi's face was getting faster, she had never seen her face get so fast.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, the old finance palace stretched its muscles and bones on the chair, the haggardness on his face slowly dissipated. Then with a smug smile, for the first time he felt that he had the upper hand in front of these people in front of him.

"As the finance of Governor Ashleffer, I do know some secrets that others don't know. Not only the secrets in the Fortress of Aden, but also the secrets of the little city lord Ashleffer! But... If I am willing to say anything, I cannot investigate the matter of me and other officials joining the other city lords, and secondly, we must make up for our losses... and..."

Perhaps he was old, he raised his head and thought to see if he needed anything else. Moreover, he also thought in his heart that if he would suffer a little loss by giving these wealth to the woman in front of him.

"Hey, you don't have to worry, you can think slowly! But I heard from our Lord Zhao that he was a little unsatisfied with the Fortress of Aden and planned to demolish it after the war. Moreover, our Lord of the Island also has a lot of money. He hopes to dig deeper to build a large underground treasure house..."

When Gong Zi said these words, she had some hints and some guesses. While saying this, she carefully paid attention to the expression of the old financial officer. Sure enough, when she talked about the basement, the old financial officer's eyelids slightly raised, and a ray of light quietly looked at Gong Zi from under her eyelids.

Unexpectedly, when raising his eyelids, he collided with Gong Zi's gaze, who was paying close attention to him, which scared him. He lowered his eyelids again and began to become silent.

In fact, his plan was not mysterious at all. Apart from the possibility of asking for an official position, it was nothing more than the safety of his family. As for the compensation for other officials, Gong Zi guessed that it was just to facilitate fishing in troubled waters. When Gong Zi discovered that when she talked about the basement, the old man understood everything in her heart.

The smile on his face seemed to be the last charming autumn color, which changed when the temperature dropped sharply. The charming smile condensed on his face, and his eyes with some charming aura became cold at this time.

"Old sir, I heard people often say that it is enough to stop. I don't know if you have heard it. Our Lord Zhao only gave two roads to the officials of your province. One is a life road, and the other is a dead end. You have two roads. Either I will send troops to secretly bring your family. After that, your whole family will be cut off their heads together. Everyone will go to the underworld together, and they will not be lonely even if they talk and laugh along the way. Do you think it's okay?"

Although these threats were shocking, they would never have a charming smile like Gong Zi, but they could not help but feel fear when they spoke out the heat. Originally, the old financial officer wanted to compete with Gong Zi again, so he bet that Zhao Fubo would not demolish the Aden Fortress to find treasures. He bet that Gong Zi had no ability, so he would send someone to his house to catch his family.

"Well, it seems that you are not worried at all, that's good. Come and send him to the camp of the little lord Ashlever, and tell us what he told us, and give him my other embroidered shoes!

Old sir, we are not willing to kill people, but I think that little Ashlever City will definitely execute your old man when he hears these words!"

Gong Zi's voice was both charming and soft, but the content of her speech showed another kind of ruthlessness. This was different from cutting off a person's head and sending someone to the execution ground. When facing her, the feeling was that she was facing a king cobra with her head high and spitting out a black letter.

Perhaps it was precisely this feeling when Zhao Fubo faced Gong Zi, which often called her "beautiful snake". The old financial officer was obviously frightened by the beautiful snake in front of him. He thought that if Gong Zi looked for it with the idea of ​​catching the Aden Fortress, no treasure house would be spared.

In addition, the safety of his family echoed in his heart at this time. Because if Gong Zi really sent him back to the little Ashlefford City Lord, then that idiot would definitely kill all the big and small of his family as Gong Zi said.

Once, he was angry when he received Gong Zi's embroidered shoes and did some pretty stupid things. If it weren't for the dense formation during that attack that eventually led to corpses everywhere, how could other city lords in the camp be afraid at this moment? Although their nest was scattered, if they took down the Aden Fortress, the wealth inside would be enough to compensate for their losses.

Thinking of this, the old financial officer became more pragmatic. The proud expression on his face faded, and he also opened his eyes wide. When he spoke, he also had the smell of negotiation.

"Madam, why not do this. I will save you some trouble and tell you the location of the treasure house directly. And you will ensure the safety of my life and property of my family. As for the wealth in the fortress and the fortress, it is all yours, madam, and all these wealth belong to you and your husband!"
