Chapter 24 Showing Weakness
Jiang Chenqi casually rescued Liu Suiyue, but Jiang Chenqi didn't take it to heart. She threw the money bag into the brazier and set it on fire, unwilling to get close to Prime Minister Liu's daughter.
On the contrary, Liu Suiyue never forgot her benefactor and had a premonition that they would meet again.
Focusing on finding the flower-picking thief, Jiang Chenqi cunningly handed over the pressure to Dali Temple. Catching the thief was the task of the Dali Temple yamen.
"The bold flower-picking thief scares the girls in the capital. Master Xu will find a way to catch this thief as soon as possible so that the girls can feel at ease. I remember that there is an unmarried girl in the Xu family, and Master Xu should protect his daughter."
Xu Jing was a little dissatisfied. He was unwilling to catch a gangster with unknown origins. He said in a flattering tone: "Commander Jiang, you know how much the government servants weigh. How can they be a match for the gangster masters? This flower-picking thief comes and goes with ease, regardless of age or appearance.
If you don’t know the location, how can you ask the yamen servant to find someone? The yamen servant is not a living god who can pinch and calculate."
Shrugging indifferently, Jiang Chenqi reminded Xu Ying that if he can't catch anyone, he can drive him away. "If the flower picker doesn't cause trouble in the capital, it doesn't mean that Mr. Xu has failed in his duty. In my opinion, this person is arrogant and domineering. If he can't be caught, he can only be driven away."
Seeing that Jiang Chenqi had no intention of helping, Xu Ying secretly gritted her teeth and wondered when Commander Jiang, who liked to be constantly busy, would learn to be lazy. She really missed the desperate Commander Jiang.
The flower-picking thief did not seek money or life to do anything harmful to the law. Jiang Chenqi was too lazy to play the boring game of chasing each other, so she left the case to Xu Ying to worry about.
Xie Jinghuai, who was pretending to be ill and staying in the Hou Mansion, heard about the flower picker and was inspired to write a letter to Jiang Chenqi. He was a beautiful man who needed protection from the commander of the Imperial Guard.
Jiang Chenqi, who received the letter, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Lin Feng, guess what the Marquis wrote in the letter. He said that he is a weak and beautiful man, and he hopes that I will move to the Marquis's residence temporarily to protect him."
If the dignified Marquis Mingying is a weak man, there is no strong man in the world. Xie Jinghuai's letter amused Jiang Chenqi, who found the Marquis's words interesting.
The thick-skinned Lin Feng lowered his head in shame when faced with Jiang Chenqi's joke. He didn't expect the Marquis to be so shameless, "The Marquis is joking with Commander Jiang. Commander Jiang, don't take it seriously. You are too busy to go to the Marquis Mansion these days, Master Hou."
I mention you from time to time."
When it comes to what she does, they are already friends and there is no need to interact more. Jiang Chenqi has no thoughts of finding a partner for the time being. Revenge is her life goal.
The eloquent Lin Feng tried hard to persuade Jiang Chenqi and wanted to take her back to the Hou Mansion to ease the Hou Ye's lovesickness.
Hearing that the Hou Mansion had fresh fruits shipped from the south, Jiang Chenqi thought about it and followed Lin Feng out to the Hou Mansion.
Xie Jinghuai walked up and down the hall with his hands behind his back. He didn't know if Lin Feng could invite Jiang Chenqi. He missed Jiang Chenqi after not seeing her for many days. It was obviously difficult for them to meet each other in the capital, so he could only tell Lin Feng to invite Jiang Chenqi.
Qu Yibie felt dizzy watching Mr. Hou walking around, so he asked Mr. Hou to sit down and rest for a while, "Commander Jiang is a very busy man and unlike you and I, we don't have much free time. Maybe the other party has something to do at the moment. Mr. Hou, please don't do it."
It disturbs other people’s busy work.”
What does a guy who doesn’t understand longing know? Xie Jinghuai said in an impatient tone, “I remember that you used to be a person of few words, but now you talk so much. You don’t know that the capital is coming.
Are you a flower picker? Everyone in the capital knows that I have lost my martial arts skills. What if I am targeted by a flower picker?"
Looking at Xie Jinghuai with a shocked expression, Qu Yibie didn't expect that the Marquis would tell lies with his eyes open. The Marquis could kill a cow with one fist, so there was no need for Jiang Chenqi to protect him. The flower picker who came to the Hou Mansion was looking for death.
Seeing Jiang Chenqi's figure appear, Xie Jinghuai showed a bright smile on his face and walked over quickly to greet her, "Why have you lost weight? Are you worried about catching the flower picker? These are trivial matters. Just leave them to Dali Temple and don't come back."
You are under military control in Beiya."
The Marquis's idea was in line with Jiang Chenqi's intention, and he nodded with a smile, "The flower picker is as cunning as a loach. It would be fine if he broke into an ordinary girl's residence without being discovered. He entered Linyuan's room without being discovered. It shows that this person has good qinggong, maybe when he entered
Light the smoke."
Linyuan's martial arts skills are good and he is very vigilant. He didn't wake up after being rouged. When he went out the next day, he noticed something strange. It can be seen that the flower picker's martial arts skills are superior to Linyuan's.
It's easy to find a job if you're good at martial arts, but why can't you imagine being a flower picker and being despised by others? Xie Jinghuai can't guess what the little thief is thinking.
"I am more handsome than Linyuan and have a higher status. If the flower picker dares to visit the Beiya Imperial Palace at night, he may have the courage to break into the Hou Mansion. I feel a little uneasy. It is better for Commander Jiang to stay in the Hou Mansion. There is no shortage of everything in the house."
There is no shortage of people in the Hou Mansion to protect Xie Jinghuai. Jiang Chenqi finds it interesting that the Hou Ye is showing weakness, "Master Hou, don't be modest. I noticed some strange smells nearby. They must be the secret guards protecting you. Even if the flower picker ate the Bear Heart Leopard
I don’t dare to make any plans for you.”
Who doesn't know that Marquis Mingying has great martial arts skills and is invincible in battles? Jiang Chenqi estimates that the little thieves in the capital will take a detour when they see the Marquis, and they don't dare to touch the gate of the Marquis' mansion.
The show of weakness failed, and it seemed that Jiang Chenqi could not stay overnight. Xie Jinghuai felt a little disappointed. He also thought about inviting Jiang Chenqi to watch the stars at night. It was said that accompanying a girl to watch the stars could make her fall in love.
Walking into the living room and seeing Qu Yibie, Jiang Chenqi greeted Master Qu, "Master Qu, have you gone home to visit your family? I heard that the Qu family are still looking for you and don't want to accept the bad news that you are missing."
Don’t smile brightly when you mention your family members. Take the time to secretly go home to meet your elders and let your family members relax.
He decided to stay with the Marquis for the time being, thinking that Marquis Mingying would be the safest side, and the emperor would definitely not expect him to be hiding in the Marquis' mansion.
Listening to the song Don't complain about her mother's nagging, Jiang Chenqi was filled with envy. She had long forgotten her mother's voice and appearance. She vaguely remembered that her mother was a gentle woman who spoke softly and was very protective of her children.
Seeing the loneliness in Commander Jiang's eyes, Xie Jinghuai picked up a piece of mung bean cake and stuffed it into Qu Yibie's mouth, "It's because you were confused and fell into a trap that made your family worried. If you were smarter, you wouldn't be deliberately targeted by the emperor. Others
All the young masters of the big family are fine, why are you the only one who is in trouble?"
Seeing the quarrel between Mr. Hou and Qu Yibie, Jiang Chenqi discovered that there was an invisible tacit understanding between the two of them. Is this the friendship that Master said?
Lin Feng came over with a tray and put down the pastries and fruits, "Commander Jiang, please try the fresh fruits from the south. These fruits are not common. Fruit trees grow in the south but do not grow as big as in the north."
Picking up the yellow fruit and taking a bite, the sweet fruit aroma filled her mouth. Jiang Chenqi was satisfied with the taste of the fruit, "It tastes really good. Fruits in the south are not cheap. I am taking advantage of it when I come to the Marquis Mansion as a guest."
If Commander Jiang is willing, he can come to the Hou Mansion as a guest every day. Xie Jinghuai is willing to meet Jiang Chenqi every day. It would be even better if they lived under the same roof.
"I have friends in the south, and members of the Xie family are officials in the south. Every year they send fresh fruits to the Marquis Mansion. There are so many fruits that I can't finish them all."
