Chapter 1626: The worst possible outcome is to fall out
They looked very ferocious, and if Tang Miaoxin disagreed, they would attack directly.
Before Tang Miaoxin could speak, Jiang Huatong had already said, "What is Young Master Zuo going to do?"
Zuo Xingzhi looked at Jiang Huatong, looking at her with a certain look in his eyes.
However, Jiangdong wanted to form an alliance with the rebels, and Zuo Xingzhi was unwilling to offend Jiang Huatong at this time.
He took a deep breath and said: "This person is suspected to be a spy and is very dangerous. Please don't interfere, leader."
Jiang Huatong chuckled, with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "She is a spy? Master Zuo, are you sure?"
Zuo Xingzhi was actually not too sure.
Today, when Jiang Huatong and Tang Miaoxin met at the door of the Criminal Division, they talked and laughed together.
The guards responsible for monitoring Su Letian at that time did not hear their conversation and did not know what the relationship between the two was.
Zuo Xingzhi asked Jiang Huatong: "I wonder how the leader met him? And where did he meet him?"
Jiang Huatong sneered: "Young Master Zuo, are you also suspicious of me?"
"Would you like to take off my clothes and let Master Zuo inspect me?"
Zuo Xingzhi's eyes deepened. He knew Jiang Huatong was angry when he heard what she said.
He had heard a lot about Jiang Huatong.
She should be a noble lady from Qi State. In essence, it is unlikely that she would know Tang Miaoxin.
It's just that Tang Miaoxin is really evil and has been to many places, so he probably knows Jiang Huatong.
He looked at Comrade Jiang Hua and said, "Of course I can trust the leader, but Tang Miao is cunning and cruel. I'm afraid the leader will be deceived by her."
He paused slightly when he said this and chuckled: "The leader wears a mask all year round and does not show his true face to others. I..."
Jiang Huatong took off the mask on his face and said, "Young Master Zuo, if you want to see what I look like, you can tell me directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."
Zuo Xingzhi was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Huatong's face, which looked like he was only in his early twenties.
He used to think that she must be at least thirty or forty years old, otherwise she wouldn't have such powerful means.
She looked much younger than he imagined.
Jiang Huatong said coldly: "My face is too young and looks too gentle, so I can't really calm people down."
"So I wore a mask on the advice of my military advisor."
"But I didn't expect that after coming to Jiangdong, people would be suspicious of me."
Zuo Xingzhi took a step back: "The leader misunderstood..."
"What did I misunderstand?" Jiang Huatong interrupted: "I met my savior back then, but I just had a few more words with her."
"You just brought so many people here to catch the spy. You just didn't say that I am the spy."
"Young Master Zuo, if you want to investigate me, you can ask directly. There is no need to be so secretive."
"The rebels have fought several battles with Jiangdong. Although each has its own victory or defeat, the rebels are not afraid of Jiangdong!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the guard guarding the door immediately drew his sword, preparing to fight Zuo Xingzhi's men.
At the same time, another troop of troops came to the door of the inn.
The deputy general who went out to lead troops yesterday came back: "Who dares to touch my leader!"
Zuo Xingzhi's bodyguard also drew his sword, and the two men were about to fight upon seeing this.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire inn was very stagnant, with a strong murderous aura.
Zuo Xingzhi's brows furrowed. He didn't expect Jiang Huatong's reaction to be so big.
He also quickly understood what Jiang Huatong meant.
In essence, Jiang Huatong represents the rebel army.
The rebels and Jiangdong had fought several battles before, and they had some minor grievances.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Huatong could completely suspect that Zuo Xingzhi's behavior of catching spies was an insinuation against her.
Zuo Xingzhi knew that falling out with Jiang Huatong at this time would be harmful to him but not beneficial.
He took a deep breath and said: "The leader has misunderstood. I really only came to capture Tang Miaoxin, and I was definitely not targeting the leader."
Jiang Huatong sneered and asked, "Then do I still have to take off my clothes and show it to Young Master Zuo?"
Zuo Xingzhi said hurriedly: "I never said that the leader should take off his clothes..."
"Doubting my savior is equivalent to doubting me." Jiang Huatong's words were very direct: "Asking my savior to take off his clothes is equivalent to asking me to take off my clothes."
Zuo Xingzhi just heard Jiang Huatong say the words "savior", but he never took it to heart.
When he heard Jiang Huatong's words again, he knew that Jiang Huatong was determined to protect the middle-aged man.
If this matter is not handled properly, it will trigger a war among the rebels in Jiangdong.
Even if there is no war, as long as Jiang Huatong stands on Zuo Yizhi's side, it will be enough for him to drink a pot.
He was injured last night and was not feeling well.
He was able to rush over only because his obsession with capturing Tang Miaoxin was supporting him.
He took a deep breath and said: "The leader has misunderstood. I am not targeting your savior."
"But he was hanging out with Tang Miaoxin's people before, and I suspect she was involved with them.
As soon as Tang Miaoxin heard this, she knew that Zuo Xingzhi must have discovered Su Letian last night. She and Su Letian came to the inn together. This matter can be found out with one investigation.
Zuo Xingzhi followed the clues and came to her door. Now that Su Letian had escaped, it was not difficult for her to cut off the relationship.
She immediately trembled and asked: "The person who traveled with me last night was a spy?"
"I didn't know he was a spy. I met him outside the city."
"He said he was going to the city to buy silk, but he lost his guide and wanted to go to the city with me."
"At that time, he gave me a hundred taels of silver as a favor. I thought it would be okay to have one more person."
"When buying silk, we agreed if we bought more and it would be cheaper."
After she finished speaking, she said with regret: "I...I really didn't know he was a spy!"
"If I knew, I would never dare to take him into the city!"
Jiang Huatong stood by and said in a deep voice: "When I was a child, I was caught by human traffickers and trafficked to Pengcheng, Zhao State. It was my benefactor who rescued me in Pengcheng."
Zuo Xingzhi was a little surprised: "Pengcheng?"
Jiang Huatong, however, had no intention of explaining anymore and said coldly: "That's how my benefactor and I met."
"Young Master Zuo, it's up to you whether you believe it or not."
"Right now, I just want to ask Master Zuo, are you determined to let my benefactor strip and be humiliated?"
Zuo Xingzhi looked at Jiang Huatong. She had a very gentle face, and she looked a bit bookish.
But her eyebrows were now full of coldness, and the corners of her eyes and brows were filled with anger.
The way she looked at this time clearly told him that if he dared to force her savior to take off his clothes, she would immediately turn against him.
Although Zuo Xingzhi felt that her reaction was a little too big, he could understand it. After all, being abducted as a child was definitely not a good experience.
