In Wangxi Town, after being chased by Lin Ziyi for the account books, Xia Jin realized belatedly that she had been tricked by Mo Tuo.
When he said he wanted to defect to himself, he actually wanted to take the account book and hide it without anyone noticing, so as to avoid Lin Ziyi's pursuit.
Now Lin Ziyi thinks that the account book is in her hands, although now Lin Ziyi does not know her true identity.
But there is no guarantee that the secret will be revealed one day, she has to investigate this matter first!
Seeing that Mo Tuo remained silent, Xia Jin frowned and said, "Want to be burned again?"
Motuo seemed to have recalled some frightening memory, and said in a trembling voice: "Boss, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but... I don't know where the account book is! But, the blame has been thrown on me.
There is no choice but to run away!"
"You don't have the account book that the court requires?" Xia Jin narrowed her eyes.
"The goods we intercepted were full of stones, not even a copper plate!" Mo Tuo explained.
"Boss, if I had it, I would hand it over. What good would it do me if I carried a hot potato for no reason! If I were caught by them now, they wouldn't believe me, so I can only
Ran!"
Xia Jin held her forehead, recalling the several murders of Li Dacai after Lin Ziyi came to Bianjing City. Xia Jin guessed that it was most likely that someone wanted to use this fake news to attract Lin Ziyi there and then kill him.
And his appearance just cured his anorexia and helped him by accident.
If no one cures Lin Ziyi's anorexia, he might really be poisoned by them if he hasn't eaten for a month!
Xia Jin couldn't help but click her tongue, "This water is really deep..."
"You continue to Tongluo Lane. If I have any instructions, someone will inform you." Xia Jin waved her hand.
Mo Tuo wiped the sweat from his forehead with relief and walked out of the private room of the teahouse. Thinking of Xia Jin's trust in him, he made up his mind to run Zhuifeng Express well and live up to his boss's trust!
As he was going downstairs, Ling Ba came towards him and passed him by. He went to the counter and grabbed the waiter from the teahouse.
"Did a pretty boy come here just now?"
The waiter was so frightened that he was bullied by the deputy leader of the Ma Tou Gang. Who dared to provoke him?
He pointed to the private room upstairs and said, "It's the second one at the top of the stairs!"
Motuo stopped. Isn't the second private room at the top of the stairs the private room that the boss just booked?
Could this group of people be looking for trouble for the boss?
"Hey!" Motuo walked over.
"You guys, what are you doing to my boss?" He put his hands in his pockets, shook his legs, slanted his shoulders, his eyes were fierce, and the corners of his mouth were downturned. He looked like a ruthless character at first glance.
After all, he is a bandit and a murderer. This is a must-learn for beginners of banditry!
"Who are you?" Ling Ba looked him up and down.
"She is my boss!" Motuo was blocking the stairs, and several of his younger brothers stood beside him, drawing out their swords one after another. Judging from their footsteps and body movements, they were Lian Jiazi!
This morning, the gang leader told me to keep a low profile during this period and not cause trouble! If you see blood in a crowded place, it will be difficult to explain!
Ling Ba cupped his hands and said in a cold voice: "See you in the green mountains and green waters! I, Ling Ba, will remember what happened today. As long as you are still in the capital, we will see you again sooner or later!"
After that, he led the people out of the teahouse.
Xia Jin walked downstairs and looked in the direction where Lingba and the others left.
How did they find this place?
…
Xia Jin returned to Changle Courtyard and counted her money. The money she brought was only enough to pay to the Human Resources Office. She had to find a way to buy a house.
"Miss Xia, the old lady asked you to come over!" It was the voice of Aunt Lin.
Si Ji went over and opened the door, and when he was about to speak, Nanny Lin waved her hand.
"Go and inform your mistress quickly. Don't keep the old lady waiting for too long. It's just an outer room. Do you really think that you are the mistress?"
The voice was sharp and mean, with no intention of betraying anyone at all. It even deliberately raised the pitch, making it difficult for Xia Jin not to hear it.
"Nanny Lin, let's go." Xia Jin walked out.
Xia Jin wore an aqua skirt, her hair was fixed with a jade hairpin, and she didn't put any makeup on her face. Although she was simple, she didn't look shabby at all.
It was as if the temperament in her bones became noble no matter what clothes she wore.
Nanny Lin said with a cold face, "Come with me!"
A stage was set up in the garden of the General's Mansion today, invited by Lin Ziyi's cousin Mr. Lin and his wife Gusu.
The old lady specifically asked Nanny Lin to ask Xia Jin to come out and take a look.
The old lady invited many ladies to the banquet today. There were so many people here that no one noticed Xia Jin.
She found a secluded place to sit down, thinking about where to get money to buy a house.
Housing prices in Beijing are quite high.
If you want to buy a courtyard house, it will cost you 1,500 taels of silver. If it is larger, it will cost at least 5,000 to 6,000 taels. A house as big as the General's Mansion will cost at least 30,000 taels of silver.
This money is not easy to earn, but the premise is that slavery is a problem and must be resolved early, otherwise you will be restricted wherever you go.
When I opened a shop in Liuxi Town, the management there was lax and Li Dacai was greedy, so I just gave him some money and sent it away.
But this is not the case in the capital. If you are a slave, you will definitely not be able to do business. Even some larger jewelry shops and restaurants have restricted the entry of slaves.
Unless a master takes them with them, slaves are restricted wherever they go.
A few days ago, when I went to the teahouse to open a private room, I still used Motuo's identity token, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get in because of her identity.
"Miss Qi, I heard that your Desheng Building recently held a cooking competition, and the prize for the first place is three thousand taels of silver!" the two ladies in the front seats discussed.
"The old lady's birthday banquet is coming, and Deshenglou will be responsible for all the dishes. In order to select the best chef, dad specially held this competition, which also shows the importance of the old lady." Miss Qi said proudly.
Xia Jin's eyes lit up!
Three thousand taels of silver!
Here's your chance to make money!
When Xia Jin was listening with pointed ears, Lin Ziyi came!
The two ladies stopped chatting and looked at Lin Ziyi infatuatedly.
"The general is becoming more and more powerful and handsome!"
"Isn't it true? If I could marry him, I would be willing to shorten my life by ten years!"
Xia Jin twitched the corner of her mouth, unable to tell that her financial sponsor had many fans.
"Brother Ziyi, wait for me!" Qi Tianxiao followed Lin Ziyi.
Xia Jin felt that the voice sounded familiar, and when she saw Qitian Xiao clearly, she was stunned.
Why is he here!
At this moment, Qi Tianxiao turned his head and looked at Xia Jin!
