The cold wind was blowing outside the house. Although there was a charcoal pot burning brightly in the house, Gao Sheng felt that it was colder inside than outside.
The kind of cold that pierces the heart, the kind of cold that can freeze all the blood in a person.
Many years ago, when he was frozen under the snow and just one step away from death, he had experienced this feeling, but he never thought that he would relive it here.
The green-eyed French woman next to her was muttering something to the second brother. She seemed to be satisfied with the few strips of fox skins that the second brother had taken out and wanted more. Their voices echoed in their voices.
My ears were filled with joy, and it sounded so ethereal that it seemed unreal.
He fell into a very mysterious state. He even felt that he and his second son were talking in front of the brazier at the moment, and that the Franji woman in the distance and the young man in front of him were both accidentally dozing off.
, it’s all imaginary.
It wasn't until the young man in front of him coughed lightly that his body shook violently and he got out of this state.
"Second brother, take this lady to the warehouse to take a look. There are all good things out there for the guests to see!" He shouted to the two people talking not far away, his voice trembling ever so slightly.
Jiang Wan looked at each other with a smile and shook his head slightly. The four teenagers behind him immediately separated into two and followed Catherine and others towards the warehouse inside.
"I didn't ask you how to address me!"
Gao Xingsheng waited until they left and took a deep breath: "Your reminder is indeed valuable, but I think you are not just here for this little money!"
"Then why do you think I am related to you?" Jiang Wan snorted slightly: "Professor of the Tenth Prince's Palace, Jiang Wan!"
"Professor from the Tenth Prince's Palace!" Gao Xingsheng was stunned, and actually showed a bit of disappointment.
"You seem to look down on me?" Jiang Wan's smile faded: "Is that so?"
"Don't dare, where did Professor Jiang know this news?" Gao Sheng immediately shook his head: "If I talk nonsense, Professor Jiang will definitely get up and leave. However, since Professor Jiang can remind Gao about this, he must not want to see it.
Was it that Gao Mou was taken by Jin Yiwei Suo?"
"So, don't you deny that you have done something that is worthy of Jin Yiwei's visit!" Jiang Wan looked at the other party, stretched out his hand to warm the fire on the brazier: "You are really right, you have to pretend to understand just now while gasping for breath
If you are confused, even the gods can’t save you!”
"I still have more than 300 taels of silver and more than 100 taels of gold in my store. The leather goods stored in the store are probably worth three to four thousand taels..." Gao Xingsheng quickly calculated: "Wait a while while Professor Jiang goes out.
, these all belong to Professor Jiang, I don’t know if this new idea is enough for Professor Jiang to remind me again how Gao can get out of the city safely!"
"Who are you looking down on?" Jiang Wan's face froze: "Did I take such a big risk to remind you just for this small amount of wealth, or do you think I can take all these wealth away?"
"Then Professor Jiang came here specifically to see how Gao was in trouble!" Gao Xingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Anyone who can do something like him is not a ruthless character. If the other party really goes too far, even if the Jin Yiwei guards are killed in the next moment,
He rushed in, and he was sure that he would kill this smiling tiger-like boy before that happened.
"You can't get out!" Jiang Wan shook her head: "You can't get out anywhere, your only way to survive is inside!"
Jiang Wan pointed in the direction where Catherine went in: "You know he is a Folangji man, so you naturally know what the court's attitude should be towards the Folangji man, especially the battle of the Folangji artillery in Ningyuan, but
Famous throughout the world!"
Gao Sheng nodded slowly. He still didn't quite understand what Jiang Wan meant.
"We are doing business with the Fo Langji people, doing business with real money, and I am among them. I will help you deal with it. Maybe, you can live well here without going out!" Jiang Wan said softly: "But
, no matter what you and your people want to do, you may not be able to do it, so you must stop immediately!"
"If we do business with Fo Langji, people from Jinyiwei won't cause trouble for me?" Gao Sheng didn't believe this statement. They are completely different things. Moreover, the court bought the face of Folangjiren, but Jinyiwei's
Do people really want to buy into that green-eyed French girl?
"It's just buying your life with money!" Jiang Wan said calmly: "Do you need me to make this more clear?"
"Understood!" Gao Xingsheng nodded immediately. If he had to say this, he couldn't understand it better. Whether it was Professor Jiang in front of him, or the woman from Fo Langji, or even the people from Jinyiwei, they might be involved.
Anyway, since the other party came to the door and refused to arrest him, it was clear that they wanted to blackmail a sum of money from him.
And this matter was definitely not instigated by the person in charge. Most likely, the woman Franji was a cover. Professor Jiang in front of him was actually handling it, and the person who shared the money was hiding behind it.
Doing business with the Folangji woman is just a way to send money. The good thing is that as long as this matter is not made clear, it is just a transaction.
He thought for a moment and smiled bitterly: "It seems that I don't have to think about leaving the city for the time being!"
Jiang Wan just looked at him quietly without saying a word. It was easy to talk to such an old Jianghu. Once he pointed out the joints clearly, the other party could understand immediately. Even if he might be restricted to Ningyuan City, the other party
I thought of it immediately.
"If you don't send someone to check, am I lying to you?" Jiang Wan said: "This reminder is free of charge. With my reminder, no matter how secretive the Jinyiwei people do, people like you should be able to detect it.
wrong!"
"No need!" Gao Xingsheng waved his hand with some meaning: "You can come to my door. Is there anything else to check? It's Gao's great fortune to be able to sit here and talk to you now!"
"forty thousand!"
Jiang Wan nodded and suddenly said.
Gao Xingsheng's eyes widened: "You should ask the Jin Yiwei people to come in and get the person. The kidnapping is not that harsh!"
"Forty thousand taels of silver is not much!" Jiang Wan pointed to him: "Besides, these 40,000 taels of silver are not for you to give to me, but for Xing Shengxing to see that Ningyuan is short of supplies and has wounded soldiers all over the place.
I'm so happy but can't bear it, so I raised this sum of money to buy food, cloth, clothing, medicine, etc. to comfort me, the Ming Dynasty Master!"
He sighed: "After this is done, as long as you don't have irrefutable evidence that you did any spy work, and Miss Catherine and I have business dealings with you, do you think anyone will still find trouble for you?
?”
Gao Xingsheng's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he muttered to himself: "That's it..."
"Right, that is it!"
"If this is the case, I won't be able to go back there..."
"You still want to go back there?" Jiang Wan smiled: "You don't have a wife and children still there, do you?"
Gao Sheng nodded gloomily: "That's it!"
"Then let me give you one last reminder!" Jiang Wan sighed: "When this matter is over, change your name and find a place to marry again and have children. You won't be able to think about the things there in the future.
