Chapter 190: It's Dark Under the Lamp in the Tan House
In the night, there were almost no people walking around in Changfeng City. Amidst the whistling sound of the north wind, most of them were hiding in their houses. Only the observation posts on the city wall still gave out a little bit of heat. They were responsible for
It is an important task to monitor the surrounding enemy situation. As for the streets, they are deserted, and there is only some hustle and bustle in some taverns.
The inner city surrounding Changfeng City, within a few hundred steps, can be called the safest area in the entire Changfeng City. It is densely populated with the city guards, military and horse departments, and the headquarters of major chambers of commerce. Naturally, every inch of land is valuable.
Tianhe Chamber of Commerce, as a long-established chamber of commerce in Changfeng City, is naturally located here. From Tianhe Chamber of Commerce, about three miles west along the broad avenue, is a manor surrounded by a yard. This is
Tan family.
Tan Jiaojiao is staying in her room. There are four guards standing outside the room, which are used by her father to keep an eye on her. There are also four old ladies standing inside the room, also used to keep an eye on her.
Yes, the only person around me was Yin'er, a maid. During the day, the instructor of Changfeng Academy asked me so many questions inexplicably. I didn't know what was going on. Could it be that Quan Zhen's matter was about to come to an end?
?
Ever since Quan Zhen was imprisoned, she had been searching for news, but both her third uncle and the city guard seemed to have forgotten about this matter. They didn't care about it and were ready to drag it out like this. The news she got,
Once there is an invasion by monsters, Quan Zhen will be used as bait.
"Yin'er, have you found out clearly? What is the origin of that instructor?"
"I asked, and the instructor Shi during the day was indeed the instructor of Changfeng Academy. He seemed to be a fourth-level martial arts warrior, but the people in the academy didn't know what his relationship was with Master Quan!"
"What about my third uncle?"
"There seems to be no contact. I have also asked other people. It seems that this instructor Shi only appeared a month ago!" Yin'er asked in a low voice, "Miss, could he be an expert invited by the Beast Eater?"
Tan Jiaojiao shook her head slightly, "It's impossible. Quan Zhen's father has been in the Beast Devouring Camp for so many years. He doesn't know many people, and the other party has never been a fourth-level martial artist here. It's extremely difficult."
Maybe it was someone my third uncle sent for me, but why did he come over to ask me these things?"
"Miss, although this Master Shi is a fourth-level warrior, we have many top warriors in our chamber of commerce. Why are you so polite?"
"That's because this Master Shi has the token of the City Guards' Mansion in his hand and can freely enter and leave the City Guards' Mansion!"
"So awesome?"
"Yeah, so I'm a little confused. What is the purpose of this person's sudden appearance? I have already dealt with many people to save Quan Zhen. If he is my third uncle's person, Quan Zhen will be in danger!"
"Then why did the young lady tell him about your relationship with Master Quan?"
"It doesn't matter if he knows. Everyone knows about this matter anyway. He seems to have just come here to verify it. This is why I don't dislike him. If he is the person invited by the Beast Eater, Quan Zhen may really have hope.
!"
"You're right!" Jin Ruofeng's voice sounded outside the house.
Tan Jiaojiao was suddenly startled, and the old ladies in the room were also shocked. The guards outside did not issue any warning!
After the door was opened, there were three people standing outside the room. The one at the front was the Shi Mang whom he had seen during the day. Behind him was a young man wearing a long robe whose origin could not be seen. Behind him stood a user.
The figure shrouded in black robes and the four guards standing outside the room have been trapped by countless branches and leaves, and they are unable to speak, let alone move.
"Miss Tan, won't you invite me in?" Jin Ruofeng asked with a smile.
Just as the four old ladies were about to say something, Shi Mang showed a sharp long sword in his hand, "Shout if you want to die!"
Even the guards outside the house were no match, and the old ladies were all old foxes for many years. They immediately shook their heads and stopped talking.
"Please come in! Who is this distinguished guest?"
"My surname is Jin!" Jin Ruofeng smiled slightly and found a chair to sit on. "The junior brother of Changfeng City Lord Huang Zhenyu!"
The name was big enough. Tan Jiaojiao was a little surprised when she heard it, but she didn't say anything and showed the calmness that a businessman should have.
"This Teacher Shi has already been here during the day. I don't know what Mr. Jin is doing when he comes to my boudoir at night."
"Please help me hide someone!"
"Who?"
"Him!" Jin Ruofeng pointed at the man in black behind him.
"Who is he? Why is he hiding here from me?"
"Because you are the safest here!" Jin Ruofeng lifted the hood of the man in black.
"Quan Zhen!" "Master Quan!"
Tan Jiaojiao and Yin'er looked at Quan Zhen in front of them almost in surprise, they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Jiaojiao!" Quan Zhen didn't believe that he could stand here.
"Okay, I won't listen to your loving words. In the next three days, Quan Zhen, you have to hide here for me. I will give you a surprise in three days!" Jin Ruofeng said to the four old ladies next to him.
Grandma said, "Listen carefully, whoever wants to talk about what happened today, I will let her enter Mingshan tomorrow. What I want to do, not to mention Tan Jinhai, Tan Yuhai and even the city lord Huang Zhenyu can't stop her!"
Shi Mang took out a bag of silver from his arms and threw it on the table in front of him, "There are one hundred taels of silver here. After three days, each person will still have one hundred taels. Remember, each person still has one hundred taels."
two!"
Although the old ladies have seen a lot of money in the Tan Mansion, they all belong to other people. This real money is placed in front of them, which is enough to be worth a year's wages.
, not to mention the rewards afterwards.
"What the young master said is that we didn't hear anything!" Several old ladies immediately divided up the one hundred taels, and the smiles on their faces never disappeared.
"Tan Jiaojiao, I want to see your father!" After Jin Ruofeng has dealt with the matter at hand, Tan Jinhai is the key to whether Quan Zhen can enter Tan's house. Otherwise, Tan Jiaojiao can only leave the house alone. Although he has never
Various signs indicate that Tan Jiaojiao is a business expert in financial management, but for Huang Zhenyu, Tianhe Chamber of Commerce is the temptation that impresses him.
Tan Jinhai was in poor health. Although his daughter's matter made him a little embarrassed, he still had no plans to leave the mountain. He had been living in a secluded place in the back garden to rest. Shi Mang's arrival during the day surprised him. After all, the incident with Quan Zhen
A year has passed, and someone suddenly came to mention this matter at this time. It is obvious that this matter is going to come to an end. He also learned from the third child Tan Yuhai very early that Quan Zhen would be used as a bait for monsters. Could it be that
Are there any other mishaps?
"Master, the lady is here!" The old housekeeper interrupted Tan Jinhai's thinking.
"Miss? Didn't I keep her in the house? Why did she come here?" Tan Jinhai was a little confused.
"I don't know, she also brought someone here!"
"who?"
"Not sure!"
Typical of asking questions and not knowing, Tan Jinhai didn't blame the old housekeeper, he just waved his hand and asked him to bring his daughter in. However, he was still a little confused. Not to mention the old ladies in the room, he was very picky.
Can't the selected guards stop him?
"Father!" Tan Jiaojiao shouted, and then stood aside. Tan Jiaojiao still had an innate respect for her father.
"You are..." Tan Jinhai immediately saw Jin Ruofeng following Tan Jiaojiao.
Jin Ruofeng smiled slightly: "Shi Mang, who came to see you during the day, is my bodyguard. My surname is Jin. As for my identity, it's not worth mentioning!"
This can be regarded as a pretense. Facing a shrewd person like Tan Jinhai, he naturally cannot deal with common sense. Tan Jinhai was naturally stunned. The Shi Mang who came during the day was the instructor of the newly established Changfeng Academy, and he was holding a
According to the general order of the city guard, this young man named Jin actually called him his bodyguard. It is conceivable that his identity is naturally unusual. It is very likely that he is a descendant of the Shangjing family. Shangjing was attacked. Unexpectedly,
Many children from aristocratic families have gone out to seek refuge. Is this guy one of them?
"Master Jin!" Tan Jinhai clasped his fists and saluted.
"That's easy to say! Is Master Tan curious about why I came?"
"good!"
"It's very simple. I'm here for your daughter Tan Jiaojiao's lifelong event!" Jin Ruofeng got straight to the point, "That means I plan to introduce a marriage for your daughter!"
"Ah?" Tan Jinhai was a little surprised. He immediately couldn't feel the pulse of Mr. Jin. Could it be that he had taken a fancy to his daughter?
Tan Jinhai turned his head and glanced at Tan Jiaojiao, but he couldn't see anything happening on his children's faces.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not recommending myself. What I want to introduce to your daughter is Quan Zhen, the son of the Beast Eater Quan Yunfeng of Changfeng City, and the bodyguard of Su Wei Army's Thousand-Man Chief Ka Muyu!"
As soon as this sentence came out, Tan Jinhai was even more confused. Didn't Mr. Jin know that Quan Zhen had been imprisoned? Obviously this was impossible. After all, his daughter was standing beside him. How could Mr. Jin know that Quan Zhen had been imprisoned?
Let Tan Jiaojiao lead the way, and naturally you will not be unclear about this.
"Master Jin, are you kidding me? Quan Zhen is..."
"I know!" Jin Ruofeng immediately interrupted Tan Jinhai, "Didn't he fall into the trap of the third son of your Tan family and break a piece of sixth-grade talisman equipment?"
"good!"
"This matter is very simple. I just want to ask you, if Quan Zhen becomes your son-in-law, and a son-in-law who can bring you a lot of business, will you agree?"
"What's the meaning?"
"It's very simple! As long as you agree to their marriage, Quan Zhen can bring half of the food and grass supply contract for the Su Wei Army to your Tianhe Chamber of Commerce!"
"What?" Tan Jinhai stood up instantly. This contract and the original conditions of the chamber of commerce are enough for Tianhe Chamber of Commerce to firmly rank among the four major chambers of commerce in Changfeng City.
Jin Ruofeng seemed to have done something trivial, and then waved his hand for Tan Jinhai to sit down, "Master Tan, you don't have to be so excited. I also know a little about your Tan family's affairs. The real decision-making power of the Tan family is not yours."
In my hands, but in Tan Yuhai's place, I'm just asking for your thoughts! After all, you can make the decision on this marriage."
"That's right! You're right, I can't make the final decision on the Chamber of Commerce's affairs, but is what you said true?"
"What?"
"contract!"
"Let me tell you this, you can regard this contract as a betrothal gift!" Jin Ruofeng said.
"Then let me talk to the third child!" Tan Jinhai's face glowed with gold.
"No need to go, Tan Yuhai won't agree!" Jin Ruofeng snorted coldly, "If he agrees, then he is not Tan Yuhai!"
