Chapter 409: Various tricks, hard to guard against
Hehehe.
So stupid!
Jiujiu noticed the smugness on Luxixi's face, but didn't say anything. Instead of venting her anger, she chuckled and let the waiter take them to the private room. She ordered the restaurant's signature dishes and then looked at Dijiang again.
Dijiang was also looking at Jiujiu, and there was an unspoken understanding in their eyes.
Both of them smiled.
The table of dishes arrived quickly.
Jiujiu said politely to everyone: "Okay, the dishes are all here, let's eat!"
"Then we won't be polite."
Luhar and Luxixi began to eat with relish. The food was delicious. They ate voraciously in an ungentlemanly manner. They did not seem to be alert at all and looked relaxed.
Is this really a good thing for someone in a foreign country?
They are completely unprepared. Aren't they afraid that someone will poison them?
Jiujiu sighed in her heart and took the opportunity to ask tentatively: "Two housekeepers, did you encounter any bad things on your way to my Xichu?"
[In the book, my cousin was imprisoned and sentenced because of this business.]
[The reason for his imprisonment was that a corpse was hidden in the goods being traded. The owner of the corpse was not an ordinary person, but the mayor of a certain city.]
[After the Dali Temple of Western Chu found out, he believed that the death of the city lord was related to my cousin, so my cousin was thrown into prison, tortured, and interrogated.]
[Now, I have to find out what is going on.]
Nan Yuanxiang looked at Jiujiu with emotion.
Jiujiu is helping her again.
Jiujiu is so nice.
Jiujiu continued to mutter in her heart: [Could it be that these merchants had some grudge against someone, which led to the corpse being smuggled in, and my cousin was implicated? ]
[Or, is it possible that someone among these merchants wants to harm my cousin? ]
After hearing this, Luhar put down the half-gnawed bone in his hand and said, "My lady, that's not the case."
"Our journey has been smooth and nothing bad has happened."
“I see.”
Jiujiu nodded and understood what was going on.
It wasn't because the Western Regions merchants had a grudge against someone that the bodies were smuggled in. It was because someone in the caravan wanted to harm my cousin.
His target is my little cousin.
Jiujiu looked at Nan Yuanxiang with heartache. Doing business is not easy. There are all kinds of tricks that are hard to guard against.
Nan Yuanxiang was also worried at this moment.
She was also thinking about the same questions that Jiujiu was thinking about.
She also planned to secretly send someone to investigate the batch of goods from the Western Regions after she returned. She had already paid half of the deposit for the goods, and the transaction was about to begin. If there really was a corpse or something else there, she would inevitably be implicated and would not be able to explain herself.
We must find a way to avoid this disaster.
Jiujiu thought so too.
But Jiujiu didn't say anything else and didn't ask any more questions.
After the meal, everyone went their separate ways and did their own things.
Luxixi was still feeling proud in her heart, Nan Yuanxiang, haha, you are going to be in trouble this time, you are going to be sent to jail soon.
After all, you are too young and don't understand the dangers of the world and the hidden dangers of murder. I'm afraid your business career will end here.
Lu Xixi smiled in his heart. On the way back, he said to Lu Haer, "That Miss Nan who did business with us sounds very powerful, but it seems that she is just a name for nothing! After all, she is too young."
"She is indeed young." Luhar said, "She is good at calculating accounts, negotiating business, and is good at manipulating people. But I always feel that something is missing from her."
Luhar is considered an old hand and is very good at judging people.
"Yes, that's the feeling." Luxixi agreed.
Luhar stroked his chin and said, "But the Miss Jiujiu who was with her, at first glance, seemed young and harmless, and there was no need to be vigilant or on guard. In fact, she is very unusual and hard to figure out. Moreover, she seems very dangerous, so you have to be extra careful when talking to her."
"Otherwise, if you're not careful, you'll be tricked."
Luhar even felt that Jiujiu seemed to have seen through some of their things.
"I looked down on her at first and thought she was harmless, but later I felt that she was very scheming and not someone you would want to mess with." Luxixi said with a worried look on her face. She wondered if their plan would be ruined by this girl. It shouldn't be possible.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's count the goods again after we go back!" Luhar only wanted to take care of the present at this moment and didn't want to think about anything else. After all, the transaction was about to start, and there must be no problems with the goods.
Lu Xixi said, "Let me go and take inventory! You go and serve the boss, you can rest assured that I'm here."
"I am indeed relieved to have you. I will leave this matter to you."
Luhar and Luxixi have worked together for many years, so Luhar naturally trusts Luxixi and will not easily doubt her.
Luhar went to take care of his employer.
Luxixi went to count the goods and took special care to look at the three boxes containing the contraband salt.
These salts and the letter from the mysterious man in red will definitely send Nan Yuanxiang to jail.
He can also get the money from the mysterious man in red.
And they think they can lower the price a little more for this deal now.
There are so many benefits for them in the Western Regions!
Hahaha.
Luxixi was so proud that he forgot about Jiujiu for a moment, and he didn't realize that Jiujiu and Nan Yuanxiang had already caught up with him.
Jiujiu brought Nan Yuanxiang with her.
The two men originally wanted to take this opportunity to find the smuggled body and escape disaster, but unexpectedly, they also saw the contraband salt secretly hidden in the cargo box.
Contraband salt! No matter how bold Nan Yuanxiang is, she would not dare to sell contraband salt. She is tired of living.
Seeing the smuggled salt at this moment, Nan Yuanxiang was so scared that her heart was in her throat. She also broke out in cold sweat, which stuck to her clothes and made her feel very uncomfortable.
She held Jiujiu's wrist tightly, as if she had fallen into the water and was desperately grabbing a piece of driftwood to survive.
She didn't let go for a long time.
Jiujiu looked at Nan Yuanxiang holding her trembling hands tightly, and then looked at the cold sweat on Nan Yuanxiang's forehead, knowing that she was really scared.
She couldn't imagine what would happen if Nan Yuanxiang got involved in smuggling salt.
Fortunately, they came here and discovered the contraband salt, giving them a chance to avoid this disaster.
I just don't know who wants to harm my cousin? Who wants to kill my cousin?
A hint of mischievous cruelty flashed across Jiujiu's eyes.
The moon was shining brightly in the sky, and Di Jiang was standing on the roof at this moment, behind Jiujiu and Nan Yuanxiang.
He watched the two men peel off the green tiles on the roof and look down at what was happening in the warehouse below.
The two of them didn't know what they saw, and their expressions changed.
Dijiang stepped forward and asked, "What did you see?"
When Jiujiu heard Dijiang's familiar voice, she turned her head and looked at Dijiang in surprise.
Why is Brother Dijiang here?
Nan Yuanxiang was startled and almost screamed, but Jiujiu covered her mouth in time, "Don't make a sound, little cousin."
"Yeah." After Nan Yuanxiang nodded, Jiujiu let go of her hand.
Di Jiang said: "I noticed that you were worried while eating. I was worried that something might happen, so I came to check on you."
Nan Yuanxiang: Starry eyes, Dijiang is so good! Jiujiu is so happy, unlike that bastard Feng Yunyi, who only makes her angry.
Jiujiu was also very moved, but no matter how moved she was, the work still had to be done by her brother Dijiang.
What kind of work?
