After meeting up with Shen Cha and his entourage, His Highness Prince Ning's pace, which was not very fast, became slower and more leisurely, as if he really came out to relax.
Along the way, His Highness Prince Ning walked and looked around. He was curious about everything he saw and felt novel about everything he saw. Seeing him like this, the people accompanying him did not feel there was anything wrong, but instead felt sad.
After all, although His Highness Prince Ning is a prince and a member of the royal family, he has been trapped in the imperial city and imperial mausoleum for most of his life, and has never gone out to see what the outside world is like.
And this relaxing trip from Wangxin Town to Jiapingguan City was the only time in his life that His Highness Prince Ning went out to see the outside world. Such opportunities are rare and he cherishes them very much.
Therefore, every time he passed through a city or county, His Highness Prince Ning would feel the fireworks here. Everything he saw felt fresh and interesting. The local folk customs and local snacks were all his favorites.
It was a pity that because of his poor health, Jin Miaomiao did not allow him to eat randomly outside, and he was not allowed to taste a bite, which made him a little unhappy. Fortunately, this was the case. Otherwise, according to the temperament of His Highness Prince Ning, If they had to taste and feel everything, by the time they reached Jiaping Pass, each of them would have gained three or two pounds.
Shen Cha feels very sorry for His Highness Prince Ning. In just a few decades of his life, from birth to now, he has shouldered many responsibilities and things that he should not have shouldered. In this life, he has grown from a square to a square His golden cage was moved to a cage that never saw the light of day. Although this was his willing choice, as a junior, he felt sad from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing the heartfelt smile on His Highness Prince Ning's face, Shen Cha was happy and delighted. Although His Highness Prince Ning also loved to smile when he was in Xijing, anyone with long eyes could see that. The smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes. Except when he was with his family, he was relaxed at other times. It was no wonder that Jin Miaomiao said that in his state, he was not suitable for recuperation at all.
This is why, when he wanted to follow Dai Wang and Wu Qingruo out, no one stopped him, and even strongly agreed.
Shen Cha knew very well that perhaps this trip would be His Highness Prince Ning's only trip to enjoy the mountains and rivers in his life. When he returned to Wangxin Town from Jiapingguan City, he might have to return to that boxy golden place. He will spend the rest of his life in a silk cage, so let him wander slowly and leisurely, see everything he wants to see, and keep it firmly engraved in his heart. When he goes back, he can reminisce about it in his spare time. .
In addition, there was another reason why she did not urge His Highness Prince Ning to leave.
Previously, she gave Jiangnan's informants ten days to investigate the activities of the Luan family and the Liu family in Jiangnan over the years. She hoped to get a definite answer before returning to Jiaping Pass City.
And this answer was finally delivered to her the night before they arrived at Jiapingguan City.
"It's two days later than the agreed time, why?" Shen Cha raised his head and looked at Ying Shisan standing in front of him, "What's the explanation?"
"Boss, there is no way around this. The two of them have been operating in Jiangnan for many years and have come into contact with a lot of people. It does take some time to investigate. They are already very fast."
"I can't accept it."
"Boss, they have interacted with or contacted dozens of families over the years, if not a hundred. They have close friendships with more than thirty families, and they are all wealthy families. It is indeed not easy to check them."
"If you say that, I can still accept it." Shen Cha nodded, "Besides this reason, is there any other reason?" She shook the stack of paper in her hand, "I just took a cursory look, this should It’s just part of it, what about the other part?”
"The boss is really aware of everything. This is indeed part of it, and the other part is still on the way."
"The time has exceeded the predetermined range, and we haven't found out everything yet..." Shen Cha knocked on the table, "The reason just now is not sufficient."
"It's like this. Erlang and his wife of the Luan family don't live in Jiangnan all year round. They go out to do business for three or four months out of the year."
"Hongshang?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows and pointed to the seat cushion in front of him, "Sit down and talk."
"Thank you, boss!"
"If I remember correctly, the Luan family is in the silk business, not only in Daxia, but also opening up trade routes in the Western Regions. Moreover, their family has a caravan, right?" Seeing Ying Thirteen nodding. , Shen Cha thought for a while, "Does the Luan family need Erlang and his wife to follow the caravan in person? They should be the heads of the family now, right?"
"What the boss said is true, but they still do this. It is said that it is because of the Luan family's rules. You must not forget your roots, because the Luan family made their fortune by doing business."
"Family rules of the Luan family!" Jin Miaomiao walked in from the outside, waved to Shen Cha, and said while yawning, "The head of the family and his wife must do business once a year, unless something big happens in the family. For example, a serious illness or something like that. , this rule cannot be broken.”
"How do you know?" Seeing the note Jin Miaomiao handed to him, Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, "What is this?"
"Mei Zhu sent it. They also checked the details of the Luan family in Wangxin Town." Jin Miaomiao smiled and said, "It was the wish of Lord Ying. It seems that you two want to go together."
"There are mainly a few points in time that I care about. If the White Lotus Sect is involved, Uncle Huang cannot let it go." Shen Cha smiled, "Uncle Huang contributed a lot to the encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect back then!"
"Why are you still calling me uncle?" Jin Miaomiao sat down next to Shen Cha, "Prince Ying wants to hear you call me master!"
Shen Cha waved his hands and showed a helpless smile.
"I don't know why their addiction is so strong. They have been fighting and fighting for so many years without feeling tired." She shook her head helplessly, "When I see Uncle Huang next time, I will definitely satisfy his wish."
"Then Prince Eagle will be extremely happy. He will definitely write a letter to the deputy commander and show off!"
After Chen Cha read the note sent by Mei Zhu, he quickly glanced at the pile of information that Ying Shisan put on the table. He closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.
"What are you thinking about?"
"If the Luan family is really as important to the White Lotus Sect as Uncle Wang and the Emperor have guessed, so important that it is necessary to cover the Luan family's departure in this way to preserve its strength, then the Luan family's business rules , but it’s not that simple.”
"It's really not simple, so they have to work hard to investigate."
"On the surface, you are here to give me a message from Uncle Wang, but actually you are here to clarify it?"
"That's not true, it won't happen." Jin Miaomiao waved his hand, "The Prince Dai has already found out that their trade route involves Liao, Jin, the Western Regions, and..."
"What?"
"A place that can only be reached by sea."
After saying that, Jin Miaomiao showed a meaningful smile towards Shen Cha.
