On the third night, Bai Guo boarded the ship again. Originally, the investigation had just begun. Even Bai Guo didn't think the assassination would come so quickly, until the arrow nailed to their ship's armor appeared.
Bai Guo realized something was wrong when he heard the sound of all the secret guards and dead waiters outside suddenly drawing their knives. Pang Yang knocked on the door the next moment and said: "Miss Third, an arrow was shot from the shore, with a letter on it." I would like to express my personal blessing to the great master Yi."
Bai Guo put down the book in his hand, and Yu Lan took two steps forward to open the door. She saw that the people outside were already tightly surrounded by secret guards, but there was no other sound except for this arrow on the shore.
With a glance, Bai Guo knew that Twelve and others had disembarked. Bai Guo ignored it and took the envelope from Pang Yang's hand and opened it. There was only a piece of paper inside, and there was only one sentence on it. The handwriting was very clear -
The villain must be ready for His Highness!
Pang Yang had been paying attention to Ging Guo, and was relieved to see that Ging Guo didn't have any emotions.
Yulan also saw the above content, and her mind turned around but she couldn't figure out what it meant, let alone what the person who sent it meant.
"Princess, this..." Yu Lan wanted to ask her what she should do, but she heard a noise from outside the door, and then Twelve came back with a person, and then threw the person on his knees in front of Bai Guo.
Bai Guo's eyes scanned this person up and down, and finally asked, "Should I tell you or not?"
The kneeling man raised his head stiffly, "Grandpa, don't tell me!"
Bai Guo looked away, and Twelve pulled the person outside. At the same time, screams sounded, accompanied by bursts of bone cracks.
Fu Changxi was awakened by the too sad cry, and she walked out of the room with sleepy eyes. She suddenly covered her eyes before she saw anything.
After helping Changxi wake up completely, she asked cautiously: "What happened?"
Twelve didn't answer, just said: "Go back."
The screams became more and more pitiful. Fu Changxi shuddered and walked backwards into the room without daring to come out.
Twelve turned around and saw the disdainful expressions of the secret guards led by Ansuke.
It was an accident that Deadpool became emotional, but if they were able to send him away with this attitude if he had ridiculed them before, maybe they would still be the ones in charge then.
The unconscious ferocity in Twelve's eyes reached the center of the scream again.
It seemed that the master meant that he didn't want to ask anymore, so the rest of the man's time would be spent venting his anger on the master.
Amidst the screams in the room, Ge Yin lowered his head a little more, and then heard Yulan ask again: "Do you want me to go down and check on this person?"
Check this person's whereabouts, check where this person has been recently, check who this person has been in contact with...
"No need." Bai Guo folded the paper and stuffed it into the envelope and threw it to Ge Yin, who was shrinking. Seeing that Ge Yin was startled, he smiled and said, "I already know who it is."
There is no useful information on this piece of paper, nothing happened, no signature of the writer, no specific title of "Your Highness", and no seal. Instead, there is only this unclear sentence.
If her princess knew about it, then either her princess recognized whose handwriting it belonged to, or someone had recently told her princess about this matter, and her princess had already made preparations.
But... who is the person who sent the letter?
When Yu Lan saw that Bai Guo had no intention of continuing, she didn't ask any more questions. She just suggested, "Let the servant accompany the princess tonight, in case something unexpected happens at night."
Bai Guo nodded. At this time, the screams outside disappeared instantly, and then there was the sound of "plop" entering the water.
Pang Yang bowed and left the room. Ge Yin stepped forward to remove the hair accessory from Bai Guo's head, but Bai Guo asked, "Dead?"
"Dead." Yulan answered quickly.
Bai Guo nodded, looked up at the door, and then got up and got into bed.
The ship took ten days to reach Fengzhou.
This time Bai Guo didn't rush back to Bai's house.
, but repaired it in Xizhong County, and at the same time asked people in the caravan to send messages to several joint shopkeepers and bosses in Fengzhou.
That night, An Jie reported directly: "Someone sent a message saying that they wanted to meet Mr. Yi."
Bai Guo reached out and took the post from Ansuke's hand. When he saw the words on it, Bai Guo laughed, "He is a thoughtful person."
The post belongs to the magistrate's family in Guwu County, and is signed by Wen Mingda, the eldest son of the magistrate's family.
It would be straightforward to meet her directly with his true identity, without hiding it.
"Let him come over tomorrow morning." Bai Guo threw the post directly on the table, and Ansuke immediately took the order and left.
On the morning of the next day, Bai Guo met the eldest son Wen as expected. He was a man of extraordinary appearance, gentle and polite.
Bai Guo used the identity of Yi Dadong to travel many places, and he could feel some malice the most, but when the other party saluted, he could only feel the other party's gentleness.
"Master Yi." Wen Mingda took the first step and saluted gently. He didn't show excessive enthusiasm, nor did he deliberately disguise his smile. Even the gestures of the salute were just right.
Bai Guo returned the courtesy, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Mr. Wen, please."
The two people in the room sat down one after another. Wen Mingda said without any hesitation: "I came here this time to give something to Dadong Yi."
As he spoke, an envelope was placed on the table.
Bai Guo smiled and didn't take it immediately, but asked, "Young Master Wen's simplicity made me a little scared. Can I afford what Young Master Wen wants?"
Wen Mingda smiled modestly, "I gave the things to Dadong Yi first because I heard some things about Dadong Yi. I thought that Dadong Yi was an extremely sincere and honest person, so I took out the things so simply. .
As for whether you can afford it, the Yi Dadong family doesn't need to think too much. I have already said that this thing is given to the Yi Dadong family. It can be regarded as a sincerity in making friends with the Yi Dadong family. I also hope that the Yi Dadong family My boss gives me this opportunity. "
Bai Guo held the envelope between her fingertips and gestured: "It's so sincere, so of course I have to accept it."
Wen Mingda's smile was still so easy-going and gentle. Gingo opened the envelope. What was recorded inside was the whereabouts of a certain shopkeeper's money, and the amount was huge.
Bai Guo looked through them one by one and confirmed them. When he looked up at Wen Mingda, his emotions were not affected at all. "It's not easy for Mr. Wen to collect these. It's not like he's just showing sincerity..."
Bai Guo chuckled lightly, "Does Mr. Wen want to replace him and take this layer into his pocket?"
Gingo's fingertips tapped the envelope on the table.
Wen Mingda shook his head, "Sincerity is of course sincerity. If I have any other thoughts, I just want to show some of my strength to the Yi Dadong family. If the Yi Dadong family wants to find someone to take over this level, I hope they will consider it... …”
What showed in Wen Mingda's eyes was the opposite confidence on his humble face, "This layer can be tidied up and docile once you get it in your hands. It will never trouble Yi Dadong's family. Instead, it will allow Yi Dadong's family to continue their journey with peace of mind." , don’t delay on this small matter.”
The tone is easy-going, but he dares to say it with confidence.
Bai Guo asked: "Who does Mr. Wen represent?"
Wen Mingda smiled gently, with sincerity in his eyes, "For your own sake, Dadong Yi, don't worry. I don't belong to anyone else. I came to Dadong Yi because I was greedy for money, but I also know that a gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way. , so the secrets in the caravan will not be tampered with at all."
Bai Guo raised his eyebrows and chuckled at these words, but gently tore the letter into pieces in his hands.
Wen Mingda's smile became smaller. Even though there was a little surprise in his eyes, he still maintained his humility and asked, "But what I said made Master Yi unhappy?"
Under these eyes, Bai Guo said: "No, it's just that Mr. Wen may not get this level."
Wen Mingda still smiled gently, as if he had expected this result, "I didn't ask for anything when I came down. I just thought that Yi Dadong was busy and didn't have time to spend in Fengzhou, so I recommended myself." Ichiban.
"
Bai Guo smiled and continued: "But the little girl likes Mr. Wen's personality very much, so Mr. Wen can think about how to deal with the other floor."
Wen Mingda was stunned for a moment, and understood almost immediately, and blurted out: "But the shopkeeper who contacted Prince Gong?"
Ging Guo nodded without any surprise.
After all, it is impossible for someone who can get these things not to know these things.
Wen Mingda did not show much joy, but instead looked a little more cautious, "I would like to ask Master Yi more about why the shopkeeper left instead of..."
Wen Mingda looked at the envelope and then said, "This is it."
Bai Guo smiled wantonly, "What do you think is the better choice, Mr. Wen, between those who have ideas about young girls and those who just want money?"
Wen Mingda didn't take his eyes off the envelope. After about two breaths, he straightened his expression and faced Ging Guo again and said, "Thank you, Master Yi, for your kindness."
Wen Mingda came on time and left quickly. When Yulan entered the room, she noticed the torn paper on the table.
"Clean it up." Gingo took off his curtain hat and raised his eyes and tails.
Yulan looked at the things on the table and had some ideas.
The person who sent the letter from Fengminzhou is on this letter.
On the same day, Bai Guo met six shopkeepers and bosses in another teahouse.
"Yi Dadong's family, everyone thought they saw it wrong, but they didn't expect that it was really Yi Dadong's family who invited her." Ran Zhuang looked graceful as she moved around, and everyone who walked just a few steps from the door to the chair couldn't take their eyes away. .
Bai Guo nodded slightly. At this time, people were already sitting on several chairs around them. Boss Zhang from Jianggu Tea House, Shopkeeper Liu from Shunqing Tea House, Shopkeeper Li from Liaohu Tea House, Boss Xue from Changguan Wine Shop, Shopkeeper Xiang of Rushu Tower.
Only then did Bai Guo say: "Fengzhou is the oldest state in the little girl industry. I came here this time to confirm with the bosses and shopkeepers whether the shops under your control are clean."
As soon as Bai Guo finished speaking, everyone else's eyes became serious in just an instant.
