"ah?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Jiang Chen shook his sleeves and said seriously.
"I am the young minister of Dali Temple, and you are afraid that I will default on my debt and escape." Zhang Ziang said swornly, "And I won't lend you your money in vain. I will be there whenever you need it."
"real?"
Seeing Jiang Chen's look of succeeding, Zhang Ziang began to hesitate.
He couldn't have been fooled by this guy, right?
"Seeing that you are not sincere, this money..."
"Really, of course it's true." Zhang Ziang said quickly.
"A gentleman's word!"
"Hurry up and whip your horse!"
"good!"
Jiang Chen shouted, "Okay," and added: "It's not enough for you to be here at your call. We also need the agents under you."
"This won't work!"
"Oh, I'm a little short of money recently."
"I can help you as long as it doesn't violate the court regulations."
"That's right." Jiang Chen patted his shoulder.
"How come you, the majestic young minister of Dali Temple, are short of money and still owe money?"
Jiang Chen heard some of the conversation he had with Lao Liao just now.
Zhang Zi'ang didn't look like a loose boy, so why did he owe Den Linlou several thousand taels of silver, and it seemed like more than that.
"It's a long story, let's get down to business." Zhang Ziang avoided.
However, since he didn't want to say anything, Jiang Chen didn't ask further.
After all, everyone has their own secrets.
"I won't go into details about the identities of these women. I have known them before."
"Tell me something you don't know."
"what else?"
Jiang Chen looked at the mysterious Zhang Ziang.
It seems that this guy has not been idle these days.
"They are all brothel girls, but they are not from the same place, but they belong to the same organization."
"Organization?" Jiang Chen asked doubtfully.
Could it be that it is really some kind of Huanyinfang?
This is a bit too far-fetched.
Who is it that can arrange such a big plan in Shangjing City?
"Yes, although it is still unclear what the organization they belong to is called, but from the investigation in the past few days, we know that it is probably inseparable from the imperial court."
"You mean, it's Bai San's people?"
"Who is Bai San?"
This was the first time Zhang Ziang heard this name and looked at Jiang Chen curiously.
"Nothing, you continue."
nerve.
Zhang Ziang cursed in his heart and continued: "I know some of the secret agencies of the imperial court, but this one seems to have appeared out of thin air, and I have no clue."
"You don't even know?"
"So I suspect it has something to do with His Majesty."
After the words fell, both of them fell silent.
Jiang Chen walked over and opened the closed window, looking at the capital city that was gradually shrouded in darkness.
The Tianzi River runs through the center of the city like a silver belt, and the markets on both sides have already become lively.
Denlin Tower and Fengyue Tower stand opposite each other on both sides of the Tianzi River.
Just as lively.
The boatmen on the Tianzi River also began to take action, and the fully loaded boats shuttled between the mansions of the major nobles.
Sending them a moment of tenderness.
"Zhang Shaoqing, I suddenly have a question."
"Um?"
Zhang Ziang raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Chen.
What does this guy want to do?
"You said, peace is more important, or war is more important."
"Although I have never been on the battlefield, if you don't have strength and only talk about peace, then it's fucking nonsense." Zhang Ziang came to his side and looked out the window at the Tianzi River with him.
"There is a difference between having weapons and not using them, and not having weapons and just talking about peace."
Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Ziang in surprise.
I didn't expect this funny guy to say such classic words.
I had underestimated him before.
In the capital, there are many people who are pampered and well-off, and there are also many people with great ambitions.
"I also wish there were more beautiful views at this moment."
“Views, wine, and beauties!”
Zhang Ziang opened his arms and shouted.
But his voice seemed a little insignificant in the endless stream of people along the bustling Tianzi River.
"yes."
"Why are you suddenly talking about this?" Zhang Ziang asked.
"I suddenly felt something." Jiang Chen leaned on the railing and said with a smile.
"Don't continue investigating this matter."
"Why?"
"I know who killed those people."
"What!" Zhang Ziang exclaimed.
"I thought you were a trustworthy person. I didn't expect you to know about it a long time ago and you are here to watch me act."
He didn't expect that Jiang Chen already knew about this matter.
After several days of investigation, he finally got some clues.
"No, because that person came to me."
Jiang Chen's calm voice was like a huge stone hitting Zhang Ziang's heart.
"You didn't catch him?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't do it."
Later, he told Zhang Ziang exactly what happened that day, except that he hid a few things about the deal he made with Lu Yuan.
Although Zhang Ziang has a hidden sense of humor, Jiang Chen has no doubt about his loyalty to the Bai family dynasty.
Or his loyalty to Jing Guo.
Who knows what he will do when he finds out.
"It seems that this matter really has something to do with the royal family."
"So, you should not continue to pursue it. Moreover, Bei Xia's mission is in the city now. Once the peace talks between the two parties are successful, no one will care about those who died."
"Oh shit!"
Zhang Ziang slammed the cup in his hand to the ground.
Debris crumbles.
"Even though you say this, I still want to find out."
"you……"
"Jiang Chen, I know you have good intentions, but as the young minister of Dali Temple, it is my duty to find out the truth." Zhang Ziang continued, "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
"You, on the other hand, seem to know a little too much."
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.
"I don't want to either."
Through Zhang Ziang's investigation results, plus Lu Yuan's previous performance, and Bai Buhui's words.
Now he can be completely sure that the women who died are Bai Bugui.
And it is inseparable from the Northern Xia mission.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Zhang Ziang seemed to have thought of something again, and took out something tightly wrapped in cloth from his arms and put it on the table.
"What's this?"
"You take a look first."
Jiang Chen untied the outer cloth, and a stench suddenly filled the air. Inside was something tightly wrapped in oilcloth paper.
"Did you pull it in?"
"Uh..." Zhang Ziang suddenly had black lines on his face.
Where did this guy come from with these strange words?
"This was found in the belly of one of the corpses. It seems to be a letter, but the handwriting on it is somewhat unclear." Zhang Ziang said with some regret.
"in stomach?"
"It was also what confirmed to me that this matter has nothing to do with the imperial court."
As he spoke, he pointed to the seal that could be seen vaguely in the lower right corner.
It’s Da Jing’s imperial seal!
"Where are the bodies?"
"It's all been dealt with."
"Have the ones in Jingzhao Mansion also been dealt with?"
He has not forgotten Du Hui.
Although the old guy looked cowardly on the surface, he was full of tricks. If the body was left with him, something would happen sooner or later.
"I'll do the work, don't worry."
"So there's someone who should know the identities of those bodies better than we do."
"who?"
