Chapter 482 I See You're Eager to Lead the Way
Shen Yanxi left the Jiang family with his lips curled. The joy on his face was so obvious that when Yuan Liang, who was waiting outside, saw it, he thought something great had happened. But when he asked, he only heard that she liked him. He was helpless. "Sir, you and Miss Jiang are going to get married in a few days. Is it worth being so happy about just saying you like her?" Shen Yanxi glanced at Yuan Liang and said slowly, "You don't have a sweetheart, so you naturally don't understand." Yuan Liang: "..." Forget it, just pretend he didn't say it! Shen Yanxi went to the Ministry of Justice and told Pei Zhaozhi about the plan they had discussed, and handed over the banknotes that Jiang Suining brought back to him. When he learned that Jiang Mushi would pretend to be the person who picked up the goods, Pei Zhaozhi also thought he was a good candidate. To prevent complications, the yamen runners of the Ministry of Justice would not enter this time, but Pei Zhaozhi specially brought a team of people to meet them outside the entrance of the black market, just in case. That night, Jiang Mushi and Jiang Suining left home together. Worried that Zheng and the others might find out that he was missing again, Jiang Suining specifically told Biyun that if Zheng and the others asked, she should say that she had been to the shop and Jiang Mushi had gone to help. Jiang Suining took Xier and entered the black market for the second time. Shen Yanxi disguised himself as an inconspicuous servant and followed Jiang Mushi. After entering the black market, he showed some nervousness and fear, and then kept his head down the whole time. He really looked like a timid servant. Jiang Mushi and Shen Yanxi walked towards the river first, while Jiang Suining and the others slowed down a little and fell behind. "Miss, don't we have half a jade pendant? Can't we let the young master and the others get on the boat with us? Why don't we give it a try? Maybe it can work." Seeing that Shen Yanxi and the others were almost at the place where they were going to board the boat, Xier spoke in a low voice. Although the clerk said when he gave the jade pendant that this half of the jade pendant could only be used by the people who were present last night, that is, himself and the young lady, the boatmen might not know that. If they could go together, wouldn't the young master and Lord Shen not have to take risks? Jiang Suining shook his head in a low voice, "Since the clerk said this rule, the boatmen should also know it. What's more, Cheng Du was still there at that time, so this risk cannot be taken." Pei Zhaozhi and his friends were refused to cross the river with the jade pendant before, but they finally left the black market smoothly. From what Cheng Du said, it can be analyzed that the people in the black market do not really want to conflict with the court. Therefore, even if Mu Shi and his friends were found out when crossing the river with the jade pendant, they should be able to get away with it. However, if this is the case, the only option is to hand over the jade pendant to him when they leave. After entering the escort agency, he will confess the purpose of coming last night and see if he can get something from the bank. Although this is a bad option, there is still a possibility. But if I take half of the jade pendant and cross the river with four people, I might be rejected, and then I really won't have the chance to enter the bank again. Ahead, Jiang Mushi and Shen Yanxi have already reached the river. Facing the boatman's question, Jiang Mushi took out the jade pendant. It was the man called Shougou who took the jade pendant and looked at it. He seemed a little undecided. "This..." Shougou scratched his head, with a puzzled look on his face. Turning his head to look at the big man sleeping beside him, just as he was about to ask him to take a look, Jiang Suining quickened his pace to the river. "I want to cross the river." "It's you." Shougou recognized Jiang Suining and Xier. "I have the jade pendant of the escort agency as a proof. I'm in a hurry. Please hurry up." Jiang Suining handed over the half jade pendant. Cheng Du had taken off the bamboo hat on his face and looked at Jiang Suining with a smile. "Miss Yang, how about it? Do you still want me to lead the way tonight? Since we are acquaintances, I can give you a discount." "Sure, thank you for your help." Jiang Suining nodded to express his gratitude, then looked at Shougou and said, "This jade pendant was given to me by a clerk from the escort agency. There must be no problem. If you don't believe me, you can ask Cheng Du. He was also there last night." "Yes, it is indeed a guest arranged by the escort agency, and the deposit has been paid." Cheng Du nodded and urged, "Hurry up, Shougou. You are taking so long to check the jade pendant. Don't stop me from making a fortune." "You are the only one who wants to make a fortune. You don't even share some of the benefits with us." Shougou said unhappily and returned half of the jade pendant to Jiang Suining. "No problem, you can go." Jiang Mushi got Jiang Suining's attention. Shen hinted, and immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Wait, it was obviously me who came first, why let them go first?" "Who asked Miss Yang to give more silver." Cheng Du stretched out his finger and shook it, "Six hundred taels." "It's nothing but silver, who doesn't have it." Jiang Mushi snorted coldly and said to Shou Gou, "Hurry up and send it to me, I will give you eight hundred taels." Shou Gou's eyes lit up, "Really?" "Of course it's true." Jiang Mushi took out the silver bills in his sleeves and shook them, "Since I dare to do business with you black market, who would be the one who is short of money?" Looking at the silver bills in front of him, Shou Gou was obviously moved, and handed the jade pendant in his hand back to Jiang Mushi, "Please get on the boat, sir." Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi got on two boats respectively. Cheng Du looked at Jiang Mushi while rowing, and then asked Jiang Suining, "Did you come here together?" As soon as this was said, Jiang Mushi on another boat not far away was startled. Could it be that he was discovered? He tried to stay calm and looked at Jiang Suining and the others. Jiang Suining looked normal and shook his head, saying, "No, but when I entered the black market, I vaguely heard footsteps in front of me. They must have been walking in front of us." Seeing his sister's calm appearance, Jiang Mushi felt relieved and raised his voice slightly. "Miss, I just heard that you are also going to the escort agency. This black market is not an ordinary place. Aren't you two weak women afraid?" Jiang Suining glanced at Jiang Mushi and said nothing. The latter continued, "We are going the same way. If you are afraid, I can take you with me. After all, it is not easy to meet such a beautiful girl in this black market." "Don't bother." Jiang Suining's tone was hard and defensive. Jiang Mushi snorted when he saw this, and said that he didn't know good people, and didn't say anything else. The two looked like they really didn't know each other. Cheng Du secretly raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. The skinny dog also withdrew his gaze and began to speed up and concentrate on rowing. Finally, Cheng Du reached the shore first. After reaching the shore, Jiang Mushi gave Shou Gou 400 taels of silver. "Sir, didn't we agree on 800 taels?" "Don't worry, you won't be short of it. I have to go back after finishing my business. You just wait here on the shore. I will definitely give you the remaining 400 taels after I go back." Shou Gou immediately agreed. Cheng Du looked at him and smiled, "You make money easily. You don't even need to lead the way." "Stop talking nonsense. You keep saying that the young lady is pretty. I don't see you so active at ordinary times. I think you can't wait to lead the way." Hearing this, Jiang Mushi, who had just landed, still looked like he had nothing to do with it, but he couldn't help but secretly glance at the "servant" behind him...
