Chapter 646 She is an Adult
Qi Zheng was there in public, and they had changed their appearance for the sake of caution. Even people who had seen the third son and the third mistress of the Sheng family might not be able to tell.
So Ji Yunshu felt that they would not be discovered for a while.
Everything went smoothly on the way there. After entering Hangzhou City, they moved directly into the house that they had asked the shopkeeper to buy in advance.
The owner of the pastry shop was a woman in her forties, and Ji Yunshu was a little surprised at first.
But when she heard the other party reporting to her about what had happened recently in Hangzhou, she knew why Cen Xi used this person.
He is really a talented person.
He spoke clearly and talked about a lot of things without a single word of nonsense.
He would also mix in a few of his own opinions, all of which were concise and to the point.
After the other party finished speaking, Ji Yunshu had a basic understanding of the situation in Hangzhou.
She hadn't intended to ask her about officialdom, but she was obviously a very knowledgeable woman.
Cen Xi told her that the lady's surname was Ye, and she was a rich lady. She met the lady when she was in dire straits at home, so she saved her.
Ji Yunshu admired capable people very much, so he asked, "Madam Ye, do you know Yang Zhen, the commander-in-chief of Hangzhou?"
Ye Qing seemed surprised that she would ask such a direct question, but after thinking it over carefully, he replied, "General Yang has been in Hangzhou for many years. He has a very good reputation. There were several times when Japanese pirates came ashore to plunder, but General Yang drove them away. He saved many people."
Ji Yunshu frowned: "So, he can't be colluding with the Japanese pirates?"
This sounds like a pioneer in the anti-Japanese war.
Ye Qing shook his head: "Officials, what they say is not what they do, and what they do is not what they think."
Ji Yunshu knew she was reminding him not to be gullible, so he smiled and said, "I understand. Go ahead and do your work. We are just ordinary businessmen, don't worry."
Although it was hidden very well, Ji Yunshu could still sense that Madam Ye was a little nervous.
It seemed as if he was worried that she would get involved in things that she shouldn't.
Ye Qing also knew that the boss's affairs were not her business, so she said goodbye and left.
As soon as she left, Ji Yunshu returned to the inner room and said to Zhao Shen, "According to many people's feedback, General Yang is a good official, especially in the matter of resisting the Japanese invaders. Do you think those charges are true?"
Zhao Shen was making tea. It was the time when the new tea came out this year, and the Longjing tea from Hangzhou was a good tea.
After a while, the whole room was filled with the fragrance of tea.
He smiled and said, "Didn't the shopkeeper remind you? Don't trust others easily. If you want to know the truth, you have to investigate it yourself. We have time this time, so we can take our time."
Seeing how unhurried he was, Ji Yunshu knew that he had been too hasty.
After all, she has never met Yang Zhen until now.
We haven't even met the person yet, how can we talk about understanding? Ji Yunshu lay on the table, watching Zhao Shen drink tea elegantly, and found it very pleasing to the eye.
The impatience in my heart gradually subsided: "Aren't you just bored? Do you have any ideas?"
Zhao Shen said, "Our focus isn't Yang Zhen. Perhaps the real purpose of the impeachment is to lure us here. Until we have a clear idea, try to stay out of the house as much as possible. Don't do anything else either."
Ji Yunshu thought of the shopkeeper Ye, who was always clear in his words and deeds, and couldn't help but sigh: "That's right. So do you have any idea?"
Zhao Shen was helpless: "We just arrived, we are not in a hurry to investigate the case, but we should investigate this place first."
Ji Yunshu sighed: "You mean we should first find out the big and small forces in Hangzhou."
It sounds like it's not something that can be done in a short time.
Zhao Shen nodded, then asked, "Where do you think Prince Yong is hiding?"
Ji Yunshu: “…”
She finally understood that Yang Zhen and investigating the case were just incidental matters for Zhao Shen.
His target has always been Prince Yong.
Really clear goal.
She pondered for a moment and said, "If Prince Yong is in Hangzhou, it must be a very well-hidden secret, impossible for ordinary people to know. The Yu family is also here, so Prince Yong's whereabouts should not be hidden from them."
Not to mention that the two parties are colluding, even if there is no collusion, the strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake. This is where the Yu family and other aristocratic families have lived for generations. If another force suddenly appears, they will definitely be aware of it.
"So we have to start with the Yu family? That's right. The Yu family hasn't done anything yet, but they've already lost a daughter they've carefully nurtured. If I were a member of the Yu family, I wouldn't let you go either."
Zhao Shen said calmly, "She asked for it. A chess piece, once it lands on the board, is already ready to be abandoned."
Ji Yunshu was too lazy to argue with him about this. Knowing that he had his own plans, he didn't bother to ask any more questions.
It was her first time in Hangzhou and she was very curious about this place, so she went out for a walk every day.
Perhaps because of the developed business, there is indeed a kind of prosperity here that is not found in the capital.
Although Zhao Shen said he was not in a hurry, he was very busy every day. All kinds of information were sent in, and he would identify and summarize it before sending it out.
He was finally going out that day, but he refused to take her with him.
Ji Yunshu was dissatisfied: "You said you would accompany me, but you didn't even take me with you when you went out. Are you going to do something to let me down?"
Zhao Shen: "What can I do to let you down? You are a woman after all, and there are some places that are inconvenient for you to go."
As soon as Ji Yunshu heard it, he knew that he was probably going to some place not suitable for children.
Brothels are indeed the places with the most up-to-date information.
She rolled her eyes and let Zhao Shen go readily.
As soon as everyone left, she began to change her appearance and soon turned herself into an elegant young man.
Come to think of it, she has never been to that kind of place.
Anyway, I'm an adult, so it's okay to go.
So she went out and headed straight for the largest flower boat.
The river where the flower boats gather is called Suijin River.
Ji Yunshu felt that this name was quite appropriate.
The weather was hot at this time. She was wearing a moon-white thin brocade robe and touched Zhao Shen's fan.
It seemed to be some famous calligraphy or painting, which she couldn't understand, but it was very suitable for showing off her taste.
Jingzhe was with her, leaving Ji Yunshu alone. Zhao Shen was worried about her safety, so he left his confidant with her.
Jingzhe didn't expect that the lady would pretend to obey but actually go against her will. She let the prince go on the surface, but then turned around and followed him.
He felt a headache as he looked at the lady who was looking at the flower boat with great interest.
I couldn't help but persuade: "Madam, there's nothing to see here, let's go back."
"Call me Master." Ji Yunshu closed the fan and tapped his forehead with the handle. "Remember, don't reveal my identity when you open your mouth. Why would you reply? Your prince is not here, and I'll be unable to sleep alone if I go back. I heard there are so many beauties here, let's go and broaden our horizons."
Jingzhe couldn't help but step back: "But this is not safe."
The most important thing is that if the lady is recognized and associated with such a place, her reputation will be ruined.
