Jiang Chen looked at the parchment on the table and his brows gradually wrinkled.
With such a messy system, it’s no wonder that Da Jing couldn’t gain the upper hand in the battle with Bei Xia.
It’s really like a hundred flowers blooming.
To unify these is a big project.
It seems that the rice still needs to be eaten one bite at a time.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Xiao Chuang, who was on the side, also understood the difficulty and did not say anything to disturb Jiang Chen.
On the contrary, Zhang Ziang looked at the contents on the parchment with a strange expression.
"Any questions?"
Jiang Chen noticed his expression and asked.
"Why do these people's names look familiar?"
"name?"
At first, Jiang Chen only saw the name of the chamber of commerce that provided the weapons, and did not notice the name of the person next to it.
Those are the bosses of the Chamber of Commerce on the surface.
For example, the Bandung Chamber of Commerce was controlled by Chu Jiang'er, but it was another person who was written on Xiao Chuang's parchment.
Jiang Chen secretly thought.
It seems these guys don't have a fuel efficient lamp.
In the event of an accident, you can push a scapegoat out, which will hardly shake the foundation of the Chamber of Commerce.
You can even escape intact.
"What's so strange about these?" Xiao Chuang looked at Zhang Ziang with disdain.
He didn't have a good impression of this young minister of Dali Temple.
If Jiang Chen wasn't here, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention.
In the eyes of everyone in the patrol camp, both Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion were nothing more than mere showpieces.
No one can see it at the critical moment, and the official power is not small.
Zhang Ziang was also unhappy with Xiao Chuang.
Isn't it just that I spent a few days in the border army, which is awesome.
Let me go and kill the enemy as usual!
The people in the patrol camp act like they are in the streets all day long, as if someone owes them a lot of money.
Not once was he in a good mood.
He raised his eyebrows and said: "A case that Dali Temple received before was related to most of the people here. However, at that time, the Ministry of Punishments ordered that someone be sent to take over the case, and there was no further information."
"Criminal Department?"
Jiang Chen frowned.
More and more are involved.
This is not a good sign.
"Are there any case files in Dali Temple?"
Jiang Chen knew very well that if he wanted to cooperate with these people, he had to figure out some things.
Zhang Ziang shook his head.
"All the files were taken away by people from the Criminal Department."
"I advise you not to get involved in something of this level. Otherwise, just one charge that day will be enough to drink a pot of wine."
After Zhang Ziang finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.
They know the stakes.
Finally, Jiang Chen spoke.
"This kind of thing cannot be solved overnight. It is currently in the investigation stage. The interests behind this are huge and the relationships are complicated. It cannot be solved by the three of us."
"No need to worry."
Three?
Zhang Ziang couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart.
Why are there only three?
Why include me?
I have no interest in this matter at all!
At this moment, Lao Liao's voice sounded along with a crisp knock on the door.
"Guys, would you like to try our new dishes at Denlinlou?"
"That's necessary. Bring it over quickly. I'm already hungry."
Zhang Ziang was the first to speak.
He didn't want those two lunatics to continue mixing weapons.
Maybe he will be beheaded.
Jiang Chen and the two did not continue talking.
Lao Liao waved, and the table in front of the three of them was soon filled with dishes one after another.
Three jars of fine old wine were also carried to the table amidst Xiao Chuang's greeting.
Looking at the wine jar that was bigger than his body, Zhang Ziang's face couldn't help but twitch.
this……
Is it for people to drink?
It's too late for me to run now.
Xiao Chuang, who was on the side, hugged Lao Liao who was about to run away and dragged him to the table.
"Don't even think about running away."
"There's something else, there's something else."
Lao Liao was afraid of Xiao Chuang.
This guy drinks more alcohol than water. If he had known better, he wouldn't have come to deliver these dishes.
Isn't this just a bit of a shame?
Seeing Lao Liao's embarrassed look, Jiang Chen spoke out to help.
"Shopkeeper Liao, I don't know if there are any more novel things besides those women that are hard to see."
"I think it's no different from previous years."
Lao Liao shook his head sincerely.
There are no new tricks every year, that is, taking advantage of the opportunity for those women raised in purdah to come out, prepare some novel things to make those dandy boys bleed.
Make a killing.
"Don't the barbarians from Northern Xia also want to participate?"
"Them? It's just embarrassing." Xiao Chuang snorted coldly.
In his eyes, there is no good thing in Beixia.
"Don't interrupt."
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at the two of them.
He didn't care whether there were people from Northern Xia participating, or whether the festival was different from previous years.
As long as those women raised in boudoir can appear, he can make a big fuss.
If you don’t want to meet beautiful women, then I will provide you with a platform.
"Does Shopkeeper Liao know how these women from dignified families will appear, and is there any record of their physical appearance?"
"this……"
Lao Liao shook his head. He was a businessman, not a matchmaker. Who would pay attention to this.
On the other hand, Zhang Ziang joked.
"Which girl does Mr. Jiang have his eye on?"
"piss off."
Jiang Chen laughed and scolded, "If Zhang Shaoqing likes anyone, I can help you."
Walking to the window and looking at the boatmen busy on the Tianzi River, Jiang Chen suddenly had an idea.
Turning around and asking Zhang Ziang.
"Does what you promised me before still count?"
"What?"
"I have paid off all your debts. The policemen in Dali Temple can lend me some."
Seeing Jiang Chen's malicious smile, Zhang Ziang felt that he was being plotted.
But he is Zhang Shaoqing, how can he not keep his words?
He gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay, but I have to be there, what if you go out and do some weird things under my name."
"strange?"
Damn it, no matter how strange it is, it can surprise you.
I have never met a decent person.
Later, Jiang Chen hoped that Shopkeeper Liao could prepare some private rooms as a place for young men and women to meet.
Lao Liao agreed immediately.
Because what Jiang Chen is holding is the certificate of the person from the Bandung Chamber of Commerce, he can still trick him.
And he had a vague intuition that Jiang Chen was not an ordinary person.
It's getting dark.
As the night falls and the lights dim, the night in the capital city is full of prosperity and vitality. The traffic is busy and the lights are shining, making people intoxicated in this charming night.
Some small shops along the Tianzi River are also decorating everything in preparation for the festival.
Zhang Ziang and Lao Liao were already lying on the table unconscious.
Xiao Chuang laughed and drank the remaining wine in the jar.
"Brother Jiang, you are the most different person I have ever seen."
"how do I say this?"
"Because you don't follow the rules." Xiao Chuang said after thinking about it carefully.
"Unruly?"
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.
If he had followed the rules, he would have died countless times.
Thinking about the poisonous snake staring at him all the time, his heart couldn't calm down.
I wonder if the person today has anything to do with the person who poisoned him in the Second Hall...
