Chapter 225 Listen to My Explanation



"Hurry up, hurry up!" Teams of officers ran along the riverside. Under the light of the fire, one could see their fear and anxiety.

Jinshui River is a den of money-spending. The rich and powerful officials are often seated in those magnificent pleasure boats with carved beams and painted pillars. Once something happens, it will be a big deal. Since Zhen Shicheng became the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, he has specially dispatched several yamen runners to patrol here. Once something big happens, the bell will be sounded immediately, and a large number of officials will rush over.

To be a good governor of Shuntian Prefecture, one must consider every aspect carefully, which is also the reason why the governors of Shuntian Prefecture did not last long. Zhen Shicheng is obviously a man of outstanding ability.

Jiang Si looked at the rushing official and his expression changed slightly. He told Lao Qin: "Don't go to the shore yet, blend into those pleasure boats first."

Perhaps it was because he had witnessed how Zhen Shicheng solved cases many times, Jiang Si had an instinctive sensitivity to this.

When a pleasure boat catches fire, most people would stay and watch the fun. But if a boat quietly leaves at this time, it means that there is something wrong with the boat.

She had seen from these officials that the subordinate who often followed Zhen Shicheng was commanding some yamen runners to guard the dock, so of course she could not take any risks.

A capable superior will have capable subordinates.

The boat suddenly stopped and a pleasure boat blocked their way.

Lao Qin held a bamboo pole in his hand and was on full alert.

Based on his experience, he was sure that the pleasure boat was coming towards them.

A man poked his head out from the pleasure boat and said helplessly, "Come up!"

The light was a little dim where they were, but Jiang Si could see the man's appearance clearly at a glance.

Ah Man couldn't help but turn his head: "Miss, it's Master Yu——"

Jiang Si looked at the bustling shore and river surface from afar, and said to Lao Qin without hesitation: "Send the second young master to the pleasure boat!"

Soon Lao Qin carried Jiang Zhan out and sent him to the pleasure boat, followed by Jiang Si and A Man who also boarded the pleasure boat.

Yu Jin nodded to Lao Qin and said, "You can leave now."

Lao Qin originally disguised himself as a fruit vendor, and it was undoubtedly safest for him to row the boat alone. However, Jiang Si and the other two boarded the Seventh Prince's pleasure boat, so their safety was certainly more guaranteed.

After getting Jiang Si's signal, Lao Qin silently rowed the boat and left quickly.

Yu Jin's pleasure boat is not big, nor is it luxurious. It can be said that it is inconspicuous among many pleasure boats. What is different from others is that there are no prostitutes or prostitutes in the pleasure boat. The interior of the pleasure boat gives people a feeling of emptiness and purity.

There was a square table by the window in the lobby of the painting house, on which was placed a wine pot and several plates of fresh fruit. Since only one wine glass had been used, the table looked even more desolate.

After settling Jiang Zhan, Yu Jin looked at Jiang Si and sighed, "Go wash your face and change into dry clothes first."

Jiang Si had thought over countless details for this day, including the action of jumping from the window into the river after the fire, which was both to escape and to give Yang Shengcai and others a hint at that extremely critical moment. In that situation, when people saw someone jumping into the river, they would often follow suit without thinking.

Jiang Si had naturally considered the need to change into clean clothes later, so Ah Man had already put two sets of clothes in his bag, one for men and one for women, just to be prepared.

The houseboat had a very private room. Jiang Si, accompanied by Ah Man, changed her clothes and returned to the lobby of the houseboat.

Yu Jin's eyes fell on the girl's wet hair and he smiled, "Luckily it's hot, your hair will dry quickly. But remember to take a good bath when you get back, to avoid the cold air entering your body."

Jiang Si said nothing and just looked at him quietly.

Yu Jin smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, it was just a coincidence today. I didn't follow you."

Of course he would never admit it, otherwise Ah Si would hate him again.

Thinking of the girl in men's clothing holding a bamboo pole and pressing down the person who emerged from the water expressionlessly, the boy's restless heart calmed down a lot.

Well, just be honest for now.

"Did you see everything?" Jiang Si finally spoke.

Yu Jin laughed dryly: "Haha, you wouldn't kill someone to silence them, would you?"

Jiang Si sat down and said calmly, "I don't have that much free time, nor do I have that ability."

She looked out the window at the moving figures not far away and felt a sense of relief.

Seeing how coldly she killed someone, Yu Qi probably wouldn't think of killing her again. After all, men admire kind and weak women, and she was no longer the same after she was resurrected from the dead.

"I saw Jiang Erdi being pushed out of the window."

Jiang Si's eyes turned slightly and he looked at Yu Jin.

In fact, she didn't quite believe that their encounter tonight was just a coincidence, but since the other party wouldn't admit it, she naturally wouldn't expose it, lest this bastard give up and talk nonsense again.

"So you did a great job, don't feel guilty at all."

I have to admit that Yu Jin almost couldn't help but applaud when he saw Jiang Si was so determined to kill Yang Sheng, but after the admiration, he couldn't help but worry.

After all, Asi is just a little girl. If she killed someone in anger, she would definitely toss and turn and have trouble sleeping afterwards. It would be even more troublesome if the shadow left behind.

"Those who repay evil with kindness have problems in their brains. Your brother was harmed by others, and there is nothing wrong with you avenging him. But if you feel uncomfortable because of this, it would be even more stupid. Think about it, if a bad person dies, perhaps hundreds of people will benefit from it. It is still a great merit in the end." Yu Jin tried hard to comfort his sweetheart.

Ah Man on the side couldn't help but grin.

Mr. Yu and the girl are really a perfect match, they always speak the same language.

Yu Jin was obviously not very good at comforting people. Jiang Si sighed secretly as he listened to her clumsy consolation.

If it were a normal girl, she would have cried to death after hearing such unconventional comfort.

Of course, a normal girl wouldn't kill someone without batting an eyelid like she did.

Jiang Si smiled at Yu Jin: "I know I am doing a good thing, that kind of person deserves death."

The rest of Yu Jin's words were stuck in his throat, and because he stopped too quickly, he started coughing.

After calming down for a while, Yu Jin looked at Jiang Si's expression carefully and asked, "Don't you feel guilty?"

"will not."

Guilt? She just wanted to come clean and celebrate the fact that she had killed the man who killed her second brother in her previous life.

"You're not afraid, you're not nervous?" Yu Jin found it hard to believe.

There is nothing more gratifying than discovering that the girl you like is more to your liking than you imagined.

Jiang Si smiled slightly, and said with great certainty: "No, I just feel happy."

Yu Jin laughed out loud: "I'm happy too!"

"What are you happy about?" Jiang seemed surprised.

Yu Jin suppressed his excitement and smiled faintly, "I was bored at night touring the Golden River, but I didn't expect to be able to help Jiang Erdi. Isn't it worth being happy?"

Jiang Si looked around the pleasure boat and said casually, "It's really boring to cruise the Golden River alone at night."

Yu Jin's smile froze, and he coughed lightly, "It's more comfortable to swim alone in the river. Those noisy girls are a headache. Well, actually I seldom come here."

You must listen to my explanation!
