He didn't take the initiative to ask Mr. Ji about his purpose.
Seeing how calm he was, Mr. Ji didn't take the initiative to ask why he came.
I secretly sighed in my heart that Cheng Hanyan had good endurance.
Mr. Ji put away the fan in his hand and spoke proactively.
"Don't you want to ask me why I came to you suddenly?"
Cheng Hanyan didn't go to pick up Mr. Ji normally, he just said this.
"Mr. Ji is very satisfied with my wife's cooking skills. Hearing that I was injured, it is normal for him to come and take a look. Could it be that Mr. Ji didn't come over to check on my injury?"
Cheng Hanyan pretended to be so confused, and shocked people to death with just one sentence.
Look, I'm injured. You went through all the trouble to find me and came to see the patient without bringing anything in your hand. Why are you so stingy?
Mr. Ji also understood the hidden meaning of his words, and without blushing, he pulled a purse from his waist and placed it beside Cheng Hanyan's bed.
"That's right. You have to bring some etiquette when you come to see Brother Cheng. I just want to come to see Brother Cheng and you don't need anything. It's better to let Brother buy it yourself."
Mr. Ji is quite good at saving himself.
But this also caused Cheng Hanyan to be on higher alert and vigilance.
If he had talked to Mr. Ji like this normally, he would have lost his temper long ago.
If I don't feel any pain or itch today, following his words, I must be asking him for something, or maybe I want to get some news from him.
Otherwise, when has he ever been so easy to talk to and cooperative with?
Cheng Hanyan accepted the money without ceremony and thanked him with a smile.
"I would like to thank Mr. Ji for your kindness."
After hearing what he said, Mr. Ji just nodded and didn't take the money seriously.
It's just that he came here to get some information.
In recent days, his people found out that Ji Chengan was chased to a nearby village, and that time was before the disaster.
His people visited many villages. Before the disaster, injured strangers suddenly appeared. They only heard that a stranger once lived in the house of a Chengjia village.
So Master Ji came to Cheng Hanyan to inquire about the news.
Because he is from Chengjia Village.
"Before the drought, was there an extra person in your village?"
When Cheng Hanyan heard Mr. Ji's straightforward question, he probably guessed what news he might have gotten.
In addition, there are many people in the village, so if you really ask around, you might be able to find out something.
It’s really hard for Cheng Hanyan to hide it.
Eagle Guard, who was on the beam at this moment, heard Mr. Ji's words, and his heart skipped a beat at that moment.
He was afraid that Cheng Hanyan would expose his master.
Cheng Hanyan looked surprised: "How could Mr. Ji know?"
Eagle Guard secretly took out the poisoned dart from his arms. If Cheng Hanyan really dared to expose his master, don't blame him for not caring about humanity and kill him with one knife.
Master Ji heard that Cheng Hanyan was so honest, and he immediately became interested.
"Why did this person live in your village, but you saved him."
Cheng Hanyan suddenly showed a strange expression on his face and stared at Mr. Ji, feeling that his words were incomprehensible.
"What are you saying, Mr. Ji? That's my mother's cousin. He was robbed by horse bandits when he came to find his wife. Why can't I save him?"
When Eagle Guard heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Mr. Ji, who had been waiting to listen attentively, looked increasingly ugly after hearing this.
"Cheng Hanyan, you are deliberately playing tricks on me!"
Cheng Hanyan looked confused again.
"Mr. Ji, what are you saying? Why can't I understand what you are saying? What is the relationship between me saving my mother's cousin and you, Mr. Ji? Is it possible that Mr. Ji is my mother's cousin and I have a grudge against him?"
What Cheng Hanyan said sounded very reasonable.
But as Mr. Ji who has understood most of the situation, Cheng Hanyan's words are undoubtedly dancing on his radar.
"Where is your maternal cousin now?"
Since Cheng Hanyan wants to act, then he will accompany Cheng Hanyan to the end.
"After he recovered from his injury, he naturally went back to do business. I don't know where he is now, but I heard that he was going to Persia. There are many tropical fruits in that area and business is easy."
Cheng Hanyan told lies in a serious manner, and the eagle guards on the rafters wanted to give him a thumbs up when they heard that he was so capable.
Mr. Ji guessed that he was deliberately fooling him, and the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.
"Where is the man you rescued now? You'd better think clearly about it for me. He is a felon in the imperial court. I don't need to tell you what the crime of harboring a felon is. If you want your wife to live well, in two days
I want to know news about him."
After Mr. Ji finished speaking, he stood up with a cold snort, turned around and walked out of the room.
He was sure that Cheng Hanyan must not know Ji Chengan's true identity, and harboring a serious criminal from the imperial court was a major crime.
Cheng Hanyan cares so much about his wife that he will definitely not put his wife in danger.
The master stood aside tremblingly, followed him out immediately, and hurriedly helped close the door of the inn behind him.
Not long after the two left, Cheng Hanyan spoke to the Eagle Guard on the beam.
"Your people must try their best to ensure the safety of my wife. If anything happens to her, don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship."
Cheng Hanyan's words contained some threatening elements.
Mr. Ji has already found out something, so no matter how much he denies it, Mr. Ji will probably not let go of their family so easily.
The Eagle Guard heard clearly from the rafters just now and knew that the person in front of him was kind to his master.
Even the scene like that just now did not betray his master.
"Don't worry, we will fight tooth and nail to protect the safety of Mrs. Cheng and your family."
"You'd better do what you say." Cheng Hanyan's eyes already had a cold look.
Eagle Guard knew that this incident involved Cheng Hanyan's family, so it was normal for him to be unhappy.
Cheng Hanyan waved his hand and asked him to leave.
Eagle Guard stood there looking like he wanted to leave but didn't want to leave. Cheng Hanyan turned to look at him and wanted to ask him why he didn't leave yet.
He saw that Yingwei was very embarrassed and once again mentioned what Ji Chengan wanted.
Cheng Hanyan was not in a good mood, but seeing Eagle Guard at such a critical moment, still thinking about Ji Chengan's request for food from his family, he was troubled and felt a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't worry, I will let my wife prepare it for him."
After Yingwei heard Cheng Hanyan's accurate words, he turned around and left at such a speed that Cheng Hanyan couldn't stop shouting even if he wanted to.
Cheng Hanyan shook his head, thinking about what Mr. Ji just said, a haze gradually filled his heart.
