Chapter 244: Storm in the City
In the end, she decided to let him go and untie him.
Jiang Yuzhi rubbed her wrist, which was sore from being tied up, and her face turned cold. "Tomorrow at twilight hour, I will leave the money at Yunfu Shop, and you can go and get it."
After that, she ignored the two of them and wanted to push the door open and leave.
Lin Baoer was still hesitating, wondering whether to stop him, but Lin Zhishen was not as hesitant as she was, and stopped him directly.
"You want to leave like this after stealing something?" He had no expression on his face, and the 1.8-meter-tall man was standing in front of the door. Jiang Yuzhi really couldn't ignore him.
"I've already said I'll pay you back, what else do you want?!" Jiang Yuzhi looked impatient and inexplicably angry, staring at the two.
Lin Zhishen started to make a fuss without frowning, "We were going to go north, waiting for the seventy taels of silver to hire a boat to join the caravan, but you stole it, delaying us for a long time in this city, how do we settle this account?"
I didn't expect it to be like this, even Jiang Yuzhi was stunned, bit his lip a beat late, his eyes dodged, hesitating, "If that's the case, then I'll pay you more..."
"Okay, seven hundred taels." Lin Zhishen didn't blink.
Lin Baoer was stunned and dumbfounded.
Ah Shen really dared to ask for a lot... He wasn't afraid that Miss Jiang would beat him up.
At that time, she saw clearly that Miss Jiang was also a martial artist, no wonder she could easily steal Lin Zhishen's wallet.
As expected, Jiang Yuzhi's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, full of disbelief, "Are you crazy?! Seven hundred taels? Why don't you just rob it?!"
At this time, Lin Baoer also tasted the taste, curled her lips and smiled, and said: "Miss Jiang, he was just joking. In fact, we are all very interested in the affairs of the Jiang family and the county magistrate's mansion. If you can..."
Her words were full of hints, and she was not afraid that Jiang Yuzhi would not understand.
"As long as we can solve our doubts, this matter will be written off, how about it?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhi looked at the two people sarcastically and sneered, "I knew you were here to laugh at me."
Then she sat down on the ground, "Okay, ask whatever you want to ask, and let me go after you're done."
She had thought about forcing her way out, but these two people gave her an unusual aura. Since they were going north and traveling with a caravan, they were most likely traveling merchants, or they could be people from other countries. These people were basically martial artists, otherwise they couldn't have traveled around safely.
So she stopped thinking about it. Anyway, she had already become famous in Weicheng two days ago, and it wouldn't cost her life to say a few more words now.
Seeing her cooperation, Lin Baoer was still a little surprised, but she calmed down in an instant and took the initiative to hand her a stool.
"Everyone knows that the Jiang family is the richest family in Weicheng. Why would Miss Jiang do such a pickpocketing thing?"
Jiang Yuzhi accepted everyone who came. After patting the dust off her butt, she sat on the stool casually, saying in a very nonchalant tone, "Exciting."
"What?" Lin Baoer didn't understand for a moment.
Jiang Yuzhi glanced at her and repeated it again, "Exciting."
Exciting?
Three question marks appeared on Lin Baoer's head.
So is this the same as those rich young men who go out to seek excitement after they have money and power?
Jiang Yuzhi obviously did not explain the meaning of this word in depth, and Lin Baoer didn't ask any more questions, just thinking that this was Jiang Yuzhi's unknown hobby.
"You almost killed Wang Youcai that day. The county magistrate should not be prepared to let the Jiang family go, right?" Lin Zhishen suddenly said, leaning against the door with his arms folded, looking at her indifferently.
The Jiang family and the county magistrate's mansion have been keeping a tight lid on the news these past two days. Basically, no news has been leaked. They can only use Jiang Yuzhi as a breakthrough point.
After hearing this, Jiang Yuzhi's face suddenly turned ugly, with a trace of barely perceptible anger and irritability.
"This has nothing to do with you, right?" she scolded.
Lin Baoer sighed.
It seemed that there was no more conversation to continue today.
Lin Zhishen obviously felt it too. After pursing his lips and glancing at Jiang Yuzhi, he moved aside to make room and said quietly, "You can go now."
Jiang Yuzhi was very suspicious, "You won't ask anymore?"
Lin Baoer sneered, "If Miss Jiang doesn't want to say it, it's useless for us to ask, right?"
Jiang Yuzhi was silent, and did not argue. She stood up and left.
Seeing that she was about to leave the yard, Lin Baoer narrowed her eyes and said loudly, "Miss Jiang, you are welcome to come to us anytime."
Jiang Yuzhi's back paused, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
"A Shen, do you think what she said is true?" Lin Baoer shook her legs and pouted.
In fact, they were overstepping the boundaries this time.
They were just two strangers. They only met once, but they kept asking about such private matters. If it were her, she would probably think that these two people were crazy.
But because of the arrow that she intervened in before, she always felt that she had disturbed the cause and effect of this matter, and she was very irritated.
In the past, she would not think so much. She would just save him and she would not ask about what happened after that.
But Lin Zhishen’s words lingered in her mind for a long time, making her a little confused and unable to think clearly. She wanted to see clearly the changes in this situation. If things were going in a good direction, she would naturally leave without distraction, and if not...
she might intervene again.
Thinking of this, Lin Baoer glanced at Lin Zhishen with resentment and a little anger.
Actually, Lin Zhishen was right. What he said was also true. It was another aspect that she had not thought of. But once she thought that if she intervened, Jiang Yuzhi would marry into the Wang family as promised, and finally be tortured by Wang Youcai for several years, and become withered under a man she did not love, and the Jiang family would also lose their reputation, she would lose her energy.
[Why do I feel like I have become a saint? ]
[Hesitant, not at all unrestrained. ]
In fact, Lin Baoer had another secret thought in her heart.
Since she intervened, she might as well make it a good thing and intervene to the end.
During this time, she also discovered that the county magistrate and Wang Youcai did not seem to be loved by the people of Weicheng. They often collected other taxes and seized good farmland. But the county magistrate had an uncle who was the prefect above him, so no one could do anything to him even if the people criticized him, and he could only work hard without complaint.
In this case, she did not mind getting rid of harm for the people, and on the other hand, she could prevent Jiang Yuzhi from experiencing the same thing in the future.
However, all of this was her idea, and how to do it specifically depended on how things developed in the future.
This was also the reason why she said that to Jiang Yuzhi later.
If Jiang Yuzhi could understand it, she might as well help her.
Anyway, the thing she had the best of was connections.
