Chapter 145 Watching a Show
After leaving the teahouse, Jiang Shian looked gloomy.
Ji Yinghuai didn't say anything, and the two returned to the inn in silence.
Back in the room, Jiang Shian was silent for a while before saying, "Is it worth it to kill your own brother for money?"
He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking Ji Yinghuai.
Ji Yinghuai was silent for a while before speaking: "Everyone says that money is something outside of one's body, but how many people would kill each other for this little thing?"
Jiang Shian sighed.
Ji Yinghuai changed the subject and asked him what he planned to do next?
"Let's start with the Jiang Mansion. There are so many servants in the mansion, there must be some who know some clues." Thinking of that idiot Jiang Xian, Jiang Shian curled the corners of his lips.
If nothing goes wrong, a big fish will be delivered to your door tonight.
Neither of them went downstairs to eat dinner, and asked the waiter to bring it to the room.
The table was filled with food, and in addition to what they ordered, there were also a few snacks.
Before leaving, the waiter diligently told the two that this was the shopkeeper's order, and asked them to just come downstairs and tell him if they needed anything.
After Jiang Shian and the others left, he sneered, "This is the so-called empty promise. If you really want to help, why not just waive our room fee? You always do these small favors that are not substantial and give people the impression that I am helping you and taking good care of you."
The two sat down and started to eat. Although the shopkeeper Yu was not a very good person, the chef of this restaurant was indeed skilled.
Jiang Shian thought, he would see if he could get him to be his own man then, he also wanted to open a restaurant.
Yingmo came back halfway through the meal, and Jiang Shian was in no hurry to ask about Jin's stalking: "We are eating right now, how about joining us? Or you can go to the restaurant to eat."
Yingmo glanced at the table, Ji Yinghuai raised his eyebrows at him, and he went into the room and sat down.
Yingmo sat down and ate while telling the two what he had found out.
He followed the messenger to the yamen and not only found out who was behind Manager Yu, but also found out some other things.
In the letter, Manager Yu said that he wanted the government to cooperate with him. Jiang Shian would go to the government to sue, and the people in the government would only need to determine that Jiang Shian was the one who should inherit the Jiang family's property and divide all the property to Jiang Shian.
At that time, the Jiang family's property would indirectly fall into the hands of Shopkeeper Yu, and they would divide it 30% and 70%.
After Yingmo finished speaking, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a few silver notes, each worth one hundred taels, and threw them on the table. There were a total of twenty of them.
"Hey, I was wondering why Jiang Xian got out so quickly. He went in yesterday morning, and his father sent two thousand taels of silver notes to the government office in the afternoon."
He was hiding on the beam at the time and could see clearly. Everyone said that there was someone behind the Jiang family. Originally they thought it was the county magistrate, but the previous county magistrate had gotten into trouble, and they had never heard of any problems with the new one.
The love affair started in a small prefectural government.
When Jiang Shian heard the number two thousand taels, his cheeks puffed up with anger.
All of it was the original owner's father's money. He didn't have a single penny when he returned to the countryside. But now, he could just pay out two thousand taels. Two thousand taels was enough for him to open a few shops.
Fortunately, Yingmo got the two thousand taels back.
"Tonight... no, tomorrow night, tomorrow night we'll go and let them bleed." Jiang Shian's teeth were grinding.
Yingmo was startled by his words and trembled, and his chopsticks fell to the ground. After he came to his senses, he stared at Jiang Shian blankly and repeated: "Let him bleed!"
Jiang Shian found his reaction funny and patted Yingmo on the shoulder: "Of course it's not about the blood on your body. Just wait and see."
When Yingmo heard that it was not what he thought it meant, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
These shadow guards have done all kinds of work, and when they encounter difficult criminals, torture is a common occurrence.
But he felt that this matter had nothing to do with the young man sitting opposite him.
"The man behind Manager Yu is just a minor official in charge of documents in the prefecture. It's nothing special." By the way, Ying Mo paused, looked at Jiang Shian, and said, "I'll ask the other brothers to investigate the matter of Master Jiang and Young Master Jiang. It's not difficult to investigate, but it will take some time."
Jiang Shian nodded: "Thank you, Yingmo. By the way, please thank my brothers for me. When the matter is settled, I will treat everyone to a good meal."
Yingmo touched the back of his head and gave the good guy card to Ji Yinghuai: "The master gave instructions on the way, we are just following the instructions. The young master is one of us, so there is no need to be so polite."
Jiang Shian smiled and naturally expressed his gratitude.
Although this was Ji Yinghuai's order, the shadow guards' investigation was not as simple as drinking water.
Looking at the jar of wine on the table, Yingmo was a little curious. What was it going to do with it since it hadn't been opened yet?
Jiang Shian told him what happened.
Let Yingmo not go to rest for a while, but stay here to watch the show. Who knows how exciting it will be tonight.
When Yingmo and Ji Yinghuai get along, there is always a sense of superiority and inferiority when they talk to each other as they are subordinates, and this identity is an obstacle.
But when he was with Jiang Shian, he was much freer and seemed to treat Jiang Shian as a friend.
But this is not surprising. They have been living like this with Ji Yinghuai for the past ten years. It will take some time for things to change.
After dinner, Yingmo went downstairs to take a shower, change clothes and come up again.
Jiang Shian felt bored just sitting there, and suddenly thought of the modern card game, and decided to teach the two of them how to play Landlord.
He explained the rules of the game and the cards, and Yingmo flew out of the window, looking thoughtful.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he came back with a thin wooden sign the size of his palm in his hand.
It's blank on top.
This was actually simple. Ji Yinghuai asked the waiter to bring up pen and ink.
If you draw it according to the approximate numbers mentioned by Jiang Shian, the middle pattern can be completely omitted.
So, everyone started playing Landlord when they had nothing to do.
Jiang Shian won both games, and the other two lost badly.
Jiang Shian looked at Ji Yinghuai who was shuffling the cards, and said in a daze: "It's too boring to play like this, how about we get some chips?"
Jiang Shian's eyes fell on the brush and inkstone on the table next to him, and he became ill-intentioned.
Seeing that he was smiling cunningly, just like a cat stealing fish, Ji Yinghuai obviously had an idea, so he nodded.
He didn't care about winning or losing, as long as the boy was happy he would be satisfied.
Yingmo thinks that as long as his master is happy, it's fine. Besides, it's just a game.
The ink that the waiter brought was quite good, of average to above average quality. Not only did it not have the foul smell that he smelled in modern times, it also had a light musky scent. Except for the paper, any other places where it was painted could be cleaned by simply rinsing with water.
"The loser will have his face or hand painted by the winner with a brush. It can be a pattern or a dot, but -" Jiang Shian looked at the two people opposite him who were obviously relieved, and he smiled and added the rest of his words: "You can't wash for at least two hours."
Sure enough, the faces of the master and servant opposite changed.
The two looked at each other and realized that they were tricked by Jiang Shian. However, they had already agreed, and going back on their word would be unmanly.
"Okay, come on!" they said in unison.
They didn't believe how badly they could lose.
