Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Xizuo had been found.
Shui Ling'er only saw Jiang Yong and Lou Shaokang walking back, but did not see Chen Chang, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Thinking that Chen Chang has nothing wrong with him, and if he fails to protect himself, the waiting officers will regard him as a cheat, what should he do?
She looked at Jiang Yong with tearful eyes, trying to find the answer from his expression, but his face was as heavy as water.
Looking at Lou Shaokang on the side, he also had a fat face grunting. Shui Ling'er, who was careful, noticed that five red and white finger marks appeared and disappeared on his face!
The fat man's two black eyes rolled up, and he didn't know what business opportunity he found on the ceiling.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, Jiang Yong spoke again: "Everyone, let me invite this master of Northern Qi to make his debut!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked in from outside the door. Everyone's eyes widened in shock when they saw it, especially Shui Ling'er, whose expression was extremely astonished.
The visitor is none other than Chen Chang.
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the restaurant.
"It turns out it's him!"
"Sure enough, it is difficult to draw bones when painting people or tigers. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it..."
"Since this person is a craftsman, what about the girl following him?"
"Don't try to grab me, you might be abducted by him!"
The diner who had been trying to persuade him hurriedly hid aside for fear of being out of reach.
The medicinal merchant took another sip of water from the spout, glanced at Chen Chang, his eyes flickered, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his heart.
Shui Ling'er's heart was in turmoil. She naturally didn't believe that Chen Chang was the workman of Beiqi, but Lord Cai Jiang was clearly talking about him just now.
Hey, why is his expression so calm and even smiling?
Shui Ling'er blinked, yes, it was a smile.
Chen Chang had a charming smile on his handsome face and was looking at her pretty face affectionately.
Her expression changed several times. Even though she had been with Chen Chang for a long time, she couldn't hold her breath anymore. Thoughts in her mind raced for a while, and she couldn't help but blurt out: "Little Master, you..."
"Silence, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
The soldier standing in front of him naturally regarded Chen Chang as a spy. Even if Shui Ling'er was not his accomplice, he might not be able to escape his involvement. Therefore, his face darkened and he regarded Shui Ling'er as a key subject of supervision. He only waited for Jiang
The master will take someone upon giving the order.
At this moment, Mr. Jiang, who had always had a gloomy face, actually showed a strange smile. What was even more unpredictable and imaginable was that he turned around, crossed his hands in front of Chen Chang, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen
Sir, I’m about to start?”
Chen Chang entered the lobby and stood still, nodding slightly. Mr. Jiang seemed to have received orders from his superior, so shocked that Shui Ling'er and others' jaws almost dropped.
When Mr. Jiang turned around, the smile on his face suddenly faded. He glanced to the side and his subordinates immediately understood. When four people surrounded the medicinal merchant, the four gleaming ring-headed knives formed a tic-shaped shape.
Trap his head inside.
The sudden scene startled the merchant and said with a grimace: "My lords, why is this, why is this?"
Mr. Jiang walked over with a confident expression on his face, his eyes returned to sharpness and shrewdness, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Tell me, what message is being delivered this time, and who is it going to?
”
The diners in the lobby were immediately shocked when they heard that this man was an unattractive person and there was no warning. No one noticed this medicinal material merchant beforehand.
Being stared at by Mr. Jiang's sharp eyes like a falcon, the merchant's face immediately showed a look of astonishment, and he immediately cried out: "Sir, it's unfair, it's unfair. I'm just a businessman in my duty. How can I talk to Beiqi's businessmen?"
Does fine work matter?"
With a slight movement of his hand, a ring-headed knife came towards him. The skin on his neck was cut by the sharp blade, leaving bloody traces.
The merchant's face turned pale with fright, and his voice trembled: "Spare your life, spare your life! You villain, I just took out my fault and presented it to you, with no other intentions, no other intentions..."
Without waiting for Mr. Jiang's instructions, soldiers had already taken out the merchant's place of residence.
Chen Chang also came to Master Jiang at this time and took a quick look - this person's name was Liang Yu. He was from Fengzhou. His ancestors had been medicine merchants for generations, and his seals and official defenses were all correct.
Liang Yu put on a bitter face and defended: "Sir, this Jiangling boy has been here not just a hundred times, but seventy or eighty times. How did he become what the adults call the Northern Qi Master?"
When he was called Chong Tian Qu, the diners sympathized with him, and some people speculated that the waiting officials could not find the real craftsman, so they arrested the drug dealer to make up for his salary.
Mr. Jiang looked at Liang Yu coldly and did not interrupt him. After Liang Yu finished speaking, he said solemnly: "You mean I have wronged you? Don't forget, what do we men do for a living?"
?"
At this time, he had a plan in mind, and he couldn't help but feel more confident when he spoke. He was much more arrogant than when he had gained nothing.
Liang Yu said in panic: "The villain doesn't dare! The villain doesn't dare! The adults are aware of everything, so naturally they won't let go of the real details. As for the villain, there must be something wrong, something wrong..."
Mr. Jiang sneered and said: "It seems that I have seen a lot of people like you, and I also know that you won't be able to recruit him if you ask him in just one or two sentences. Come on, let me search his body."
p>
After giving the order, the two soldiers put away their swords and began to search their bodies. They searched everything from the top bun to the soles of the shoes. Except for a bag of coins, which was the proof of the purchase and sale of goods, in addition to that, there were even a few items.
Not a single piece of paper with writing on it.
Liang Yu was full of grievances at first, but after the body search was completed, she couldn't help but straighten her back and said with a wry smile: "Sir, do you believe that I was wronged this time?"
Then, he lowered his voice: "Sir, you led these military men to arrest the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was really hard. I have prepared some tea money for you, please lend me a step to speak!"
Mr. Jiang's brows were furrowed. Just now, his men searched very carefully and did not miss any place. However, there was no evidence that could prove his identity. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel uneasy and subconsciously looked at Chen Chang who was standing aside.
The target was Chen Chang's, and it did sound reasonable at the time. But now nothing has been found, and he can neither come to Taiwan nor go back to resume his life.
In the eyes of everyone in the restaurant, this merchant named Liang Yu does have the air of a merchant. Although he is dressed decently, he eats in such a small restaurant and the types of food he orders are extremely ordinary.
I am just like straw blowing fire---very stingy.
But then again, it is extremely normal for businessmen to spend money and money.
Of course Chen Chang knew that Mr. Jiang was under tremendous psychological pressure at this moment, but from his observation of the merchant's every move, he could be sure that there was something wrong with this person.
At this moment, I looked at Liang Yu again, so meticulously that I could see even the slightest change in her expression.
Observing words and emotions is a basic skill in officialdom and business. Chen Chang has some experience in being confident in this aspect.
Gradually, Mr. Jiang lost his temper and called shopkeeper Li over and asked if he knew Liang Yu.
Shopkeeper Li did not dare to disobey. He looked Liang Yu over and said to Mr. Jiang: "Reporting to Mr. Jiang, I know this person. His surname is indeed Liang Mingyu. He is a drug dealer from Fengzhou. He has come to the shop many times.
There are quite a few, usually one person per table, with few contacts with other people. The little old man guessed that he went on a long trip without showing off his wealth..."
Mr. Jiang frowned, thought for a moment, and then made a judgment in his heart.
He thinks what Shopkeeper Li said is basically credible. This restaurant has been open in Gangneung for a long time. If Shopkeeper Li had problems himself, he would have exposed them long ago under the investigation of the waiting officers.
.
Since Shopkeeper Li is a serious businessman, he will naturally not protect Liang Yu.
With shopkeeper Li's evidence, Liang Yu continued to complain.
In front of everyone, Mr. Jiang's face felt a little hot. It is true that he has never taken advantage of someone without any evidence, but that is something that cannot be put on the table.
His face was so gloomy that it almost dripped with water. He waved vigorously and called Chen Chang over. He just glanced at Chen Chang without saying anything.
But Chen Chang already understood it very well. What he was clearly saying was - you have to fill the hole you dug yourself!
Chen Chang cleared his throat. In the past, he was an outside agent of some secret service departments, but now he was asked to identify the target.
He still looked at Liang Yu and asked: "Do you know the medicinal materials and quantity on this purchase receipt?"
Nowadays, Chen Chang is representing the waiting officials when asking questions. Liang Yu does not dare to neglect, so he talks eloquently and answers very fluently.
Mr. Jiang frowned slightly. If Liang Yu was really careful and the bill of goods was used to hide his identity, he would naturally answer fluently. Wouldn't it be unnecessary for this gentleman named Chen?
"Brother Liang, did the cargo ship you were on weigh anchor at Shen hour?"
"Exactly!" Liang Yu nodded, "What's wrong?"
Chen Chang nodded: "As far as I know, the freight rate for a cargo ship that anchors after noon is 30% more expensive than that before noon. Why doesn't Brother Liang hire a ship in the morning to return to Fengzhou?"
Liang Yu said calmly: "Of course I want to hire a cargo ship in the morning, but the warehouse is full, so I can only settle for the next best thing!"
Chen sang: "Yes! If it were me, it would be the same! When businessmen pursue profits, they naturally have to consider the cost of freight. But since Brother Liang has traveled from Fengzhou to Jiangling dozens of times, doesn't he know that the ships that left after noon on the previous day,
Is it only less than three hours faster than the boat that left early the next day?"
"For these three hours, wouldn't it be a loss to pay an extra 30% of the shipping fee?"
As soon as he said this, Mr. Jiang on the side suddenly realized that the boat went up the Shuojiang River in Jiangling at night, and happened to pass through a river full of reefs and dangerous shoals, where rapids and whirlpools rolled in and out between the cliffs, and the underwater darkness
The rocks are hidden and cannot be seen. The boatman must be extremely agile and skillful in order to avoid the dangerous reefs and shoals, and pass through the bad currents and waves.
However, there are only a few such boatmen. Even if they have the ability to sail a boat at night, they will not take the risk.
After all, ships sink here every year, killing passengers and losing a lot of cargo.
Therefore, passing passenger and cargo ships often anchor at the shore when they reach the starting point of that section of the river, and wait for the next morning to continue their journey. This delays them all night, and the ships behind them are almost catching up with the ships in front.
Liang Yu was frightened by Chen Chang's question, so she pretended to be calm and said: "It's only a matter of time, because the price of medicinal materials is very important!"
"Is that true?" Chen Chang's mouth showed a sly smile.
