Chapter 109: Big Brother's message, reply
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a strange man with ordinary appearance who they had never seen before standing at the door.
There was no unnecessary expression on the man's face, and there was no fluctuation in his voice.
Jiang Shian had seen this outfit at home. The secret guards around Ji Yinghuai often dressed like this, and their aura was particularly similar.
If it doesn't want you to notice it, you can just ignore it even if you see it in a crowd.
Thinking of what Ji Yinghuai had told him a few days ago, that his eldest brother might send someone over, he quickly put away the smile on his face and walked towards the door.
"I am, sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
The man took out an envelope from his arms and said, "Young Master, I am here to deliver a letter under the orders of your elder brother and my master."
Looking at Jiang Shian's appearance, a strange look flashed across the man's eyes.
Strange, is this the younger brother of the young master's sweetheart? Why do these two brothers look nothing alike? The one in their house is cold and a little unkind. This one has a gentle temperament and a naive and gentle face.
"Cough! Cough!"
A sudden cough interrupted the two people's staring at each other.
Seeing that the man at the door kept his eyes on Jiang Shian, Ji Yinghuai, who originally didn't intend to say anything for fear of his identity being discovered, had no choice but to cough.
The man outside the door withdrew his gaze and turned his gaze to Ji Yinghuai.
When he saw this, he was also shocked.
This aura is strong, and those who serve as secret guards know it best. This sharp aura that cannot be ignored is not like that of ordinary people. Moreover, the ink-like eyes that look at dead things can only be found in people who have killed people and licked the blood from the blade.
Moreover, he always felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Before he could think about it, he heard the young man standing in front of him ask him, "How is my elder brother now?"
The man calmly withdrew his gaze and said in a light tone: "Don't worry, young master. Your son is now recuperating at home. His injuries have almost recovered. However, it may still be difficult to travel a long distance. Moreover, the imperial examination is approaching, so he can't make it back. I can only come back to deliver the letter to ensure that the young master is safe and sound."
Jiang Shian nodded and asked him to go back to the house and sit down to talk in detail.
Counting the days, the original owner hasn't seen this elder brother for half a year.
Whether it was to comfort his own heart or the original owner's heart, he had to inquire carefully.
"Ji Er, you've been tired after the whole morning. Why don't you go to the back room and rest for a while?" Jiang Shian said to Ji Yinghuai.
Of course, he didn't think that Ji Yinghuai couldn't listen to these things, but Ji Yinghuai had to conceal his identity. The man in front of him came from the capital. If the other party became suspicious, it would be very inconvenient for Ji Yinghuai to act in the future.
Ji Yinghuai nodded at him, without even looking at the man, he stood up and walked to the back of the house.
Although the man was curious, he did not ask further questions. He sat on the stool with an expressionless face, waiting for Jiang Shian's next question.
Jiang Shian asked directly about Jiang Wenjing's situation during this period.
As the man narrated in a calm but unhurried tone, Jiang Shian finally understood why his elder brother had not come to see him for so long and there was no news from him.
Most of the previous information is similar to what Ji Yinghuai investigated, except that some details are more detailed.
On his way to Beijing, Jiang Wenjing was ambushed by someone. Those people were obviously after his life and showed no mercy. They disguised themselves as bandits but didn't rob him of money, they just wanted to kill Jiang Wenjing. They were discovered halfway through the pursuit, and the subsequent handling could be said to leave no trace at all.
As the investigation deepened, it seemed more like officers and soldiers or well-trained assassins.
The more men there were, the more Jiang Shian frowned.
His eldest brother was just the son of an ordinary merchant, how could he provoke such a person? He originally thought that his second uncle came up with such a vicious method in order to fight for the family property, but he didn't expect that so many people were involved.
As for the part involving the government, the man seemed to be deliberately hiding it from him. He did not mention a word about Jiang Wenjing's injuries or the people behind him. He only told him that he and his elder brother were recovering well now.
What he said most was what his elder brother asked him to do, saying that he had been working hard these days, his parents unfortunately passed away, and he still had his elder brother to rely on. He would come to pick him up after he finished his work in Beijing...
Jiang Shian was not surprised. He lived in this small place, and it was very lucky that his brain recovered and he survived safely. Whether it was revenge or further investigation, the eldest brother certainly did not want to involve him too much.
Judging from the images in his memory, he is probably still a child in his older brother's heart.
He nodded obediently and agreed, and told the man to tell his elder brother that he was fine and living a good life, and asked Jiang Wenjing not to worry about him, as he was waiting for good news from high school.
"I know everything. Please tell my brother when you go back. I will be careful and let him recover. I am waiting for his good news." Jiang Shian glanced outside. The two guys had already returned after delivering the goods. "You must have had a hard time on the road. If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can stay in my shop for a day."
"Thank you. I have already arranged the journey. If you have nothing else to tell me, I will leave immediately."
The man stood up, his tone still unchanged, but there was a little more admiration in his eyes when he looked at him. According to the information they had obtained from their investigation, this young master who had been in poor health and had never done any housework before, unexpectedly, not only survived well after returning to the countryside, but also opened several shops. Judging from the busy situation of the shops when he sat in the teahouse opposite in the morning, the business was quite good.
He was rich and graceful, but suddenly fell into a quagmire. He did not complain about himself and lived a fulfilling life. Even he could not help but admire him.
"Young Master, do you have anything else to say? If it's inconvenient to speak, you can write a letter." He reminded again before leaving.
Jiang Shian touched his nose awkwardly. Yes, yes, regarding his parents, although he had some scenes of their childhood interactions in his mind, his memories of the time when the original owner's parents passed away were always intermittent and very messy.
Whenever he had free time, he would think about it in his mind and write down whatever came to his mind. Then he could slowly sort out some of his thoughts and found some strange things.
But the letters... his handwriting is so bad. He has been busy with business these days and has not continued to practice calligraphy. Besides, the original owner could not write at all before. The changes in just a few months are too fast and he is afraid that clues will be revealed.
He wanted to ask Ji Yinghuai for help, but Ji Yinghuai had unclear ties with the capital, and it would be even worse if clues were revealed in the handwriting and aroused suspicion.
After thinking about it, he could only shake his head: "It will only take two or three months. I will tell you in detail when we meet."
The man said no more. Since the letter had been delivered and the job was done, he said goodbye and left.
