Chapter 472 473. Scare You
It didn't take Jiang Zhongfu long to find out everything.
There was nothing wrong with the escort agency itself, but Jiang Zhongfu found out that the owner of the agency was surnamed Tian, and their brother-in-law used to be the prefect of Daocheng.
Based on this piece of information alone, Jiang Zhongfu did not dare to make the decision to finalize the itinerary.
Jin Qianqian, "First, ask someone to find out about the Tian family. By the way, ask Chief Cai to ask for us if there are any escort teams heading to Lucheng recently?"
Jiang Zhongfu, "Madam, I just asked some merchants, the road to Lucheng is not easy to travel now, there is snow everywhere.
Even though the snow has melted on some of the roads, it is still full of mud. Do you think we should wait a few days before setting off again?"
Jin Qianqian, "Let's go ask first! If there is an escort agency going directly to Lucheng later, then we can wait a little longer."
…
The results of the investigation made Jin Qianqian reject the Tian family's escort team immediately.
It is said that the current head of the Tian family, Tian Zhuang, is Mrs. Xiao's younger brother.
Over the years, because of the relationship with Magistrate Xiao, he has gradually developed from a few storefronts to the wealthy businessman he is today.
Tian Zhuang is a man who obeys Mrs. Xiao's orders and can be said to be Mrs. Xiao's money bag.
It’s not that Jin Qianqian is afraid of trouble, but she feels there is no need to create unnecessary trouble.
When housekeeper Fu went out to inquire about the news, she dressed the two children and went out with them.
"Mom, it's so lively here." Gu Benluo held Jin Qianqian's hand and looked around curiously.
Jin Qianqian has also visited many markets, but none of those places were as novel as Lecheng.
The shops on both sides sell a variety of products, and there are stalls on both sides of the middle road.
The things here are particularly interesting, whether it is dried seafood or Northeastern furs, you can see them all here.
"The things here are really complete," Jin Qianqian said to Lichun, "We have been staying here for a while, so just buy whatever you need. If the carriages are not enough, you can rent two more.
However, there is no need for dried seafood like these, as I remember it seems to be not far from the coast."
We are only halfway through the journey, and I guess we won't have such complete supplies if we continue on our journey.
Although their group of people attracted attention on the street, everyone was probably used to seeing people coming and going, so they just looked at them for a few more times and then went back to their own business.
Even some small vendors began to introduce their products to them, and some even took out some small gadgets to attract Gu Benluo's attention.
Although Gu Benluo was moved, he kept a stern face and followed Jin Qianqian's footsteps closely.
His mother had told him before that if strangers gave them things to please them, they must have ulterior motives.
Maybe this person is the human trafficker mentioned in my mother's story. If these people succeed, he will never see his parents again.
Thinking that these people might have bad intentions, Gu Benluo held Jin Qianqian's hand tightly, causing Jin Qianqian to squat down and look at him, "What's wrong?"
"Mom, why don't we go back to the inn."
"Didn't you always want to go out for a walk?"
Gu Benluo looked around vigilantly, "But I think there are a lot of bad guys here, and Luoluo doesn't want to be taken away."
Jin Qianqian, "...Mom is with you, and there are so many guards around you, as long as you don't run around, you'll be fine."
"Really?"
Jin Qianqian touched his head and helped him tidy up his outer cotton coat. "Of course, hold your mother's hand tightly, and let's find a place to rest in front."
Gu Benluo hesitated for a moment and held Jin Qianqian tightly with his hand.
Jin Qianqian reached out and pinched his little cheek, "Our Luo Luo is so cute."
As more and more new and interesting things appeared on the street, Gu Benluo put aside his initial worries and began to drag Jin Qianqian to close one stall after another.
Jin Qianqian waited until he really could not walk anymore before letting Lin Dapeng pick him up and finding a teahouse to go in.
"Waiter, come to a private room with a good view." Lidong blocked the waiter's gaze and looked at him sharply.
The waiter immediately retracted his neck and said, "Sir, please follow me."
The group came to a large private room on the second floor. From the window they could see the busy street downstairs.
Jin Qianqian ordered a few pots of green tea and some snacks so that the people who followed out could fill their stomachs first.
"Why is the private room booked? Ask them to vacate the place quickly." Unexpectedly, not long after all the food was served, a quarrel was heard outside the door, accompanied by the waiter's constant apologies.
"Today our master is going to entertain distinguished guests. Do you think you don't want to do business with our Tian family anymore?"
"Well, you didn't send anyone to tell us in advance, and the room was already booked. How about I arrange for you to stay next door?"
"How can this be possible? Everyone knows that this is the only teahouse with the best view in your teahouse?
What's the matter? Are you still afraid that our Master Tian will give you less money?" The other party's voice became louder and louder.
The waiter said, "That's not the case. Our teahouse is open for business, so it's first come, first served.
If Mr. Tian had informed us beforehand, we wouldn't have booked this private room.
But the customers are already resting inside, so it would be a bad idea to try to attract them at this time."
"You're not going to tell me, right? Then let's tell it.
I just don’t believe that there is anyone in Lecheng who dares not to give face to our Tian family.”
They thought it was just an insignificant quarrel, but unexpectedly, the door of the private room where they were resting was kicked in from outside.
Jin Qianqian looked at the two children first. Gu Bencan was obviously frightened and started crying with his mouth open.
Gu Benluo also hid behind Lidong at the first moment.
"Who is it? Don't you know there is someone in here? Get out quickly." Lin Dapeng and the other guards who followed out immediately blocked the door.
"Our Master Tian wants this private room. If you know what's good for you, give it up quickly." The other party said arrogantly.
When they saw these unfamiliar faces, their expressions were full of contempt. They thought they were just passing merchants, but they dared to compete with their Master Tian for space.
"This is not a place for you to act wildly. Get out of here if you know what's good for you." Lin Dapeng was about to take the man out.
"If you dare to touch me, believe it or not, I will make you pay for it.
Let me tell you, the Tian family is not someone you can mess with."
Hearing the other party claiming to be the Tian family who should not be provoked, Lin Dapeng's curiosity was aroused, "Tian family? We have never heard of them. Who is this big shot?"
The other party was obviously annoyed by his tone, "I'm afraid you'll be shocked if I tell you this."
