Chapter 136
There are always people who pretend to be gods and ghosts
Author: Xu Lin
At this time, the sky was approaching Xu hour, and the sky was dyed with a light ink color. It was still three hundred miles away from the border, and the official road was used to transport officers and soldiers, so there was only a simple post station, not as comfortable as Qi Chengze's carriage.
So he was reviewing official documents here, and wanted to know what kind of medicine Jiang Huaice was selling in this gourd.
"So, there are many people following you secretly?"
No need for Jiang Huaice to say anything, Qi Chengze also knew how many people wanted to take his life and how many people wanted to replace him. Among the three sons of his father, he was the only one who fought the most fiercely with Qi Junhe.
But no matter what Qi Junhe did, it didn't change his current position even a little bit. Qi Chengze understood better than anyone how much he wanted to climb up.
"Qi Junhe didn't arrange anyone."
Qi Chengze lowered his head to review the official document, but he used affirmative sentences. Qi Junhe knew how to avoid suspicion, knowing that if he took action here, his father would be the first to take action on him.
"He knew so well that we had to bring his purpose with us on this trip, so how could he give us something to arrest us?"
Jiang Huaice relaxed, picked up the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. Until now, he still couldn't figure out the person behind the scenes. There was no useful information in the news sent back by the people sent to Liaodong to monitor Pang Dong.
It was as if he had just picked up some clues and the clues suddenly stopped. In other words, it was because he knew that he was being watched that he acted as usual.
The copper mine was not found, the money embezzled by Yang Mingwang was also missing, and Xu Dong, the only witness, went crazy. This plan seemed to have been planned for a long time.
Who could it be, King He, King Kang, or someone else?
"Gu remembers that Miss Shen Si must have given you a map of the four directions. You might as well show it to Gu. Gu heard that it belongs to Liaodong Dusi. It may have the clues you want."
Qi Chengze put down his pen and asked about the map of the four directions. He leaned on the soft cushion and looked up at Jiang Huaice.
Jiang Huaice nodded, knocked on the wall of the carriage, and told Guo Lun to go to his carriage to get it. He was too busy at this time, and he didn't have time to look at it. He only knew that it was the map of the four directions of the Liaodong capital.
While Guo Lun went to get the map of the four directions empty, he smiled and talked about Sang Yunji.
"That day you said you were only 50% sure, and you said you were taking a gamble, but you didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you would find a foolproof plan."
It was beyond his imagination to let Sang Yunji enter the palace and become a female official. However, what impressed him even more was that Sang Yunji was willing to exchange his noble status for a free life.
Ordinary women would like to become a noble family and a person of noble status, but Sang Yunji was able to give up this status and was very courageous.
"Your Highness, I said it's 50%, it's 50%. Qi Junhe has so many informants in the palace, how can he not know our plan?"
Jiang Huaice reached out and took the scroll from Guo Lun, and Qi Chengze replied clearly: "Yes, it seems that he wants the Sang family to understand that no matter who he begs for, he will never let go if he likes it."
"That Miss Sang is so pitiful. What will you do if you lose 50% of your bet?"
Listening to Qi Chengze's words, Jiang Huaice pushed the scroll away and said, "Since it's a bet, naturally it won't be the most attractive until the moment the results come out."
The two of them lowered their heads and looked at the scroll. The painting of this map of the four directions was really good. Each stroke was very detailed. The person who painted it must have put a lot of effort into it.
When Jiang Huaice looked at several places, he frowned and pointed at those places: "Look at this place, does it look like a cave?"
When Shen Zhiyi sent someone to deliver the Sifang Map, he was not in the mansion. Later, he was delayed by other things and did not have time to look at it. When I saw it today, at first glance, some places on it looked very familiar, very similar to the Sifang Map he used in his previous life. resemblance.
Looking again, there are other additions in these places, which should be what Sang Yunji saw when he was traveling when he was young. There are many places on this map of the four directions that he has not paid careful attention to.
"They look similar, and this place is hidden, so it's a good place to hide things."
Qi Chengze followed his finger and saw that it was a very high mountain surrounded by woods. There was only a rugged path leading to the cave, making it easy to hide things.
"Guo Lun, please send someone to check it out. Don't alert others."
After giving the instructions, Jiang Huaice closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Qi Chengze stretched out his hand and patted him and said, "Don't worry. The enemy is hiding in the dark. We are in the open, and we are already restricted by many parties."
"That's not what I'm worried about."
He was just afraid that what happened in his previous life would happen again, that Zhizhi would lose his life again because he wasn't careful enough or serious enough, and he was even more afraid that he wouldn't be able to protect her.
Jiang Huaice opened his eyes and turned his head to look outside. He said that if love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night? He is greedy and wants both day and night and long-lasting love, so he cannot let a moment slip.
"To be able to use so many people, the power of the person behind the scenes cannot be underestimated. Minghuai, haven't you noticed that Qi Junhe and the person behind the scenes are not the same group?"
Qi Chengze said leisurely, he had fought with Qi Junhe for so many years, so he naturally knew his character. Qi Junhe was strategic, smart, and cruel, but he was proud and arrogant.
He is not a very patient person. If he takes action, he will definitely see blood. How can he be so tempted and retreat ten minutes?
But the person behind the scenes was different. He led them to suspect Qi Junhe at every turn, and then hid behind his back to watch them fight Qi Junhe to the death, and then jumped out to reap the benefits.
"Qi Junhe is in power, and the people behind the scenes are manipulating everything, as if adding fuel to the flames. Let's take a look first. After all, there are no gods or ghosts in this world, only people who pretend to be gods and ghosts."
"Only things that dare not see people hide in the dark."
The man looked at the dense forest with sharp eyes, but a faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
In his previous life, he also thought that Qi Junhe was the one behind the scenes. After all, Qi Junhe benefited the most from that battle, but the reality was not what he thought.
This time, he wanted to see who the pretender was.
"Okay, don't think so much. Let's talk about you and your little girl."
Qi Chengze deliberately changed the topic. Minghuai was always so worried and didn't want to talk to others. He didn't want him to be so tired, but due to his personality, there was nothing he could do.
He could only explain these things in other words, so he took the initiative to ask Shen Zhiyi. He thought that Minghuai eagerly pursued her, which would impress the fourth girl Shen, but he did not expect that Jiang Huaice smiled bitterly and said: "She is still Then you don't want to see me."
But remembering the concern in her words when they left Huaijing, he felt that she didn't hate him that much.
"Huh? When you say that, I'm curious as to what wrong thing you did to make people hate you so much. I think although you, Marquis Changping, are a bit cold, you won't be so annoying."
Qi Chengze poured himself a cup of tea and spoke with a smile. Jiang Huaice lowered his eyes and said, "It's probably a mistake that cannot be repaid."
He made her marry him and stayed with him for five years, but he couldn't treat her the slightest bit well. He also hated himself for not saying a word of love to her in his previous life.
She should hate her, that's what she should.
