In the capital city where there are many powerful people, the Jiang family is the kind of person who doesn't show off his or her appearance.
After all, a house that has not even been classified as "Jiang Mansion" can't be high-profile even if it wants to be high-profile. The plaque hanging on the Jiang family's family name today is just "Jiang Mansion", and there are other places between "Jiang Mansion"
It's quite a distance.
Jiang Wan, who is now basically determined to take up a military career, wants to change the plaque on the door of his house to "Jiang Mansion", so the only way to go is to become a knight.
Therefore, even if today's emperor places great emphasis on factory guards and restores the "sitting detective" system among the civil and military families of the Manchu Dynasty, owners like the Jiang family will not pay much attention to it when they are leading troops outside and their home is the residence of a bunch of family members.
It is better to send one or two people to the concierge to monitor people coming in and out.
This is the case with the Jiang family. There are two Jinyiwei agents stationed in the Jiang family's concierge. All along, no matter how these two agents rotate, the relationship with the Jiang family has always been good, even relatively harmonious.
Of course, this is also related to the inextricable connection between Jiang Wan and Jin Yiwei.
However, since the beginning of autumn, the number of Jin Yiwei sitting detectives in the Jiang family's concierge has suddenly increased. Counting the rotating ones, there are enough people for two small flags. Moreover, whenever important figures of the Jiang family travel, these Jin Yiwei sitting guards will
Tan went along without hesitation.
Even if they are not allowed to accompany you, they will follow you from a distance, euphemistically calling it protection.
This made Xu Caining feel very uncomfortable.
In the mansion of Duke Dingguo, the guards of Jin Yiwei were not so arranged, and their actions were not so exaggerated. She quietly told her father about this matter, and as a result, Duke Dingguo's eyes suddenly became serious.
Xu Caining did not say what the two fathers and daughters had communicated about this matter in private, and outsiders did not know. However, since then, the number of times the Jiang family members went out has been greatly reduced, which also made the detectives
He breathed a huge sigh of relief.
However, there are still some things that require you to go out. For example, Li Fuyao has to go to Nanhaizi from time to time. Since Nanhaiwei was transferred back to Dongjiang Town, it would be a legitimate thing for her to go to Zhouzhuang, if not for his permission.
, it’s not easy for people from Jinyiwei to follow him.
The gang of Nanhaiwei soldiers, no matter whether they are Jinyiwei or not, they are so confident.
Catherine also went to the main office of Sihai Trading Company from time to time. Although most of the time, Xu Bai was taking care of business in the main office of Sihai, but for some business transactions that were too large, Xu Bai could not make the final decision.
He has to make the decision himself.
Unlike Li Fuyao who went to Nanhaizi, the main office of Sihai Trading Company was in the center of the capital, so it was very easy for the detectives to follow him there.
Today, as usual, Catherine packed up and went out. The detectives learned that she was going to the main office of Sihai Trading Company, so they just sent one person to follow her. Along the way to Sihai Trading Company, there were patrol officers of Jin Yiwei following them.
The people who went to Catherine were not worried about the shortage of manpower at all.
However, after arriving at Sihai Trading Company, the other agents who followed him were treated like sitting in the lobby drinking tea. They didn't have the guts to interfere with what Katherine was doing in the business.
Just like they can sit and spy in the Jiang family, but if they dare to break into the Jiang family's inner house privately, the Jiang family's guards will kill them without any mercy.
"Why are you here? Aren't you from Hao Jing Ao?" Catherine looked at Jiang Yanran in front of her, dressed like a rich boy: "Are you dressing up like this to give me a surprise?"
"It's indeed a surprise!" Jiang Yanran smiled mischievously: "There is a big event that requires you to come forward, and we can't let others know the real reason, so I came to reveal the news to you quietly, sister-in-law!"
"Mysterious, is there any news about your brother?" Catherine pursed her lips and smiled. She was extremely beautiful, and her slightly mature charm immediately outshone Jiang Yanran's youthful appearance.
"Yes, in order to win over my brother, your uncle Jose found several beauties from France and sent them over!" Jiang Yanran rolled her eyes: "My brother was afraid that you would kill those beauties in a rage.
So ask me to ventilate you in advance!"
"My uncle can indeed do this kind of thing!" Catherine was stunned, and then laughed: "Are there only Spanish beauties? Are there no beauties from other places? Jiang Wan's preferences are different from ordinary Ming people. Ming people
Even those who don’t like it, maybe he likes them all!”
"...I've finally convinced you, aren't you angry at all?" Jiang Yanran exaggeratedly patted her forehead: "Why are you like this!"
"It doesn't matter if a capable man has more lovers, it's not like marrying them home!" Catherine shook her head: "No, these women are not even lovers, at best they are just concubines. I am not worried about them.
!”
"Stop, stop, stop..." Jiang Yanran shouted: "Stop this topic, I'm not here to discuss this with you!"
Catherine looked at her with a smile, her green eyes blinking, which made Jiang Yanran feel flustered.
"Your uncle Jose asked my brother to borrow troops to fight the Dutch!" Jiang Yanran stopped being weird: "My brother and I have discussed this matter. It is best for you to come and discuss the specific conditions with your uncle. I will be on the side.
Help you, after all, you are the person who knows your uncle and the Victor Chamber of Commerce best in our family!"
"...Hey, don't cry, you said it well, why are you crying!"
"I'm not crying, I'm happy!" Catherine wiped her tears: "I feel like I didn't marry the wrong person. For such an important matter, he didn't worry about my origin or the relationship between me and my uncle at all.
It was left to me, he believed in me so much, I was so happy, I couldn’t help it..."
"You'd better be patient and listen to what I have to say!"
Jiang Yanran said: "We can't tell you what we did, so I secretly came to see you. Our Ming Dynasty soldiers were lent out privately. If those officials and censors found out, they would scold my brother bloody.
In the end, even if the emperor trusts my brother again, he will still be punished, so we have to do this quietly!"
"Well, tell me!"
"I won't show up. In two days, I will ask Xu Bai to give you a message, saying that there was a serious problem with the semicolon in Haojing'ao while I was away. Someone embezzled a lot of money. You have to leave.
Beijing goes to Haojingao to deal with this matter!"
"This way I can use this name to go to Hao Jing'ao!" Catherine made it clear: "Others don't know my true purpose at all!"
However, she immediately hesitated again: "There are people from Jinyiwei at home, and even if I leave the capital, I am afraid that people from Jinyiwei will send people to protect me. Will..."
"Just let them follow you. You are really going to Haojing'ao anyway!" Jiang Yanran said nonchalantly: "As long as you get to Haojing'ao, there are plenty of ways to deal with them. This is not a problem!"
