In Jiang Yichen's mind, the fragmented information seemed to have found a connection point. The old master's behavior was almost consistent with Bao Wenwen's behavior and demeanor after the map was robbed. In this way, Bao Wenwen caught the opponent's chest before he guessed the opponent.
It's a woman, and combined with Bao's words after asking, it's very likely that the woman is the girl from the brothel, and isn't this where the brothel is?
The more I think about it, the more shocked I am. The orchids are fragrant. The orchids in the courtyard and the architectural style I saw in that alley just now seem to be the same as here. It is not impossible if it is the same place.
The woman in purple was the woman who grabbed the picture that day!
The relationship between the proprietress of Yunbo Inn and the woman in purple is extraordinary. She seems to be very interested in me. Is it out of concern or for another purpose? Is the woman in purple following and protecting me? By the way, the proprietress is looking at me.
The look in his eyes seemed to be the same as the look Liu Qi looked at him that day. Could it be that the innkeeper’s wife was also my uncle’s wife!?
When Jiang Yichen was deep in thought, the golden cup of jade wine was only a hair away from his mouth, but there was no reaction at all. The woman in pink clothes who pulled him in thought that the young girl was so embarrassed that she was thinking of pouring some of it into him first.
Cup, allowing him to let go of the boy's restraints, but when he handed the wine cup to the boy's mouth, he was stopped by a white jade hand.
"Sister Xin, this child is my distant cousin. Please don't bully him. Leave him to me." The words of the command had a pleading tone, which made people feel good.
Although the woman in pink, who was called Sister Xin, knew that what the visitor said was untrue, and was helpless that the few taels of silver she was about to receive flew away like this, she still dared not refuse. Instead, she said cheerfully: "That girl Xiaolan."
I have to thank my sister properly some other time!"
The woman who cut her off halfway was the woman in purple who had snatched the map from Bao Wenting, had a close relationship with the proprietress of Yunbo Inn, and had met Jiang Yichen in the alley. One of the eight red cards of Yichun Court, Ruolan.
Jiang Yichen was once again dragged away in a daze. This time, after a noisy journey, he was dragged into a secluded private room.
The moment he was dragged away, the fragrance of orchids entered his nostrils, and soon, Jiang Yichen knew who the woman was pulling him.
A man and a woman were alone in the same room, but the atmosphere was not as awkward as expected. Jiang Yichen was full of questions and was about to answer them, and he could find the exact answer from Ruolan. Ruolan was annoyed by Jiang Yichen's inexplicable behavior today.
I was just about to curse a few words to vent my anger.
"You?" "You!" They both spoke almost at the same time, "What are you doing here! Do you know what kind of place this is!?" Ruolan got the upper hand before Jiang Yichen.
"I, I, I don't know, isn't this Yichun Courtyard? Aren't you here too?" Jiang Yichen's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.
Over there, Ruolan was already glaring with anger. She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and squeezed out the words through her teeth: "I am one of the eight red cards of Yichun Courtyard! Why can't I be here?!!!
"
"Ah! Then, then you..." Jiang Yichen recalled the scene he had just seen, what he had heard about that day, and his obscene actions, and he did not dare to think about it any further.
"Ah! You brat, I'm not selling my body, but where are you thinking?" Ruolan was so angry that she started to twist Jiang Yichen's ears and growled.
"Sister, sister, it hurts, please stop twisting it." Jiang Yichen begged, feeling as if his ear was about to be twisted off.
"Who is your sister? Don't be ashamed." Although she said this, Ruolan felt quite comfortable in her heart, so she slowly relaxed her strength and let go of the brat in front of her.
"Tell me! Why did you come here?" Ruolan asked sternly, cursing in her heart, "You brat, you didn't know how to behave when you just left the island. If you come here, I have to report it to Sister Ling."
"I, I don't know, I was dragged in by the sister just now when I was passing by the gate." Jiang Yichen replied honestly.
Seeing Ruolan's eyes widening again and trying to twist her ears, she didn't know why she answered poorly, so she quickly protected her ears, shrank her body, and continued, "That's it. I don't know why I walked there this morning.
In the alley, I accidentally smelled the fragrance of orchids, and I wanted to find out where the smell of orchids came from, and then I climbed up the wall, and then my sister saw me, and then..."
Jiang Yichen said that he didn't dare to continue. Could he say, "Sister is very beautiful, I'm crazy about it"?
Unexpectedly, Ruolan had already seen through Jiang Yichen's inner thoughts, and helped Jiang Yichen receive the message: "And then, my sister is very beautiful, you are crazy about it, and when you are stared at by your sister, you are like a little girl who has not left the boudoir."
I was so ashamed that I didn’t know what to do, so I ran to the street in a daze. Unknowingly, I came to the gate of our Yichun Courtyard. When I was confused, I was dragged in by my sisters. What I said was correct.
Bar."
Ruolan looked at Jiang Yichen's surprised expression and thought to herself that this brat is really easy to guess, so she couldn't help but smile proudly. But she had already taken off her veil in her room. This smile made Baihua shy and made Jiang Yichen see it.
I was crazy, and as expected, my ears were pulled again.
"You brat, you didn't learn how to behave when you first got out of the island. If you keep staring at women so lustfully, sooner or later your eyes will be dug out," Ruolan scolded.
Jiang Yichen did not answer Ruolan's words this time. He quickly realized from the words that his guess was indeed correct: "Sister is indeed my uncle's wife, so is the innkeeper's wife?"
"Uh..." Ruolan was stunned for a moment, but then she recovered. It didn't matter if she let it slip, "Hey, brat, why have you suddenly become smarter? Yes, I am a big benefactor to Sister Ling and me. We
To make a living here, I will help the Daoyi Alliance collect some information."
All the scenes and clues had been strung together into a complete thread in his mind. Jiang Yichen answered with certainty, "The person who took the map of Jiangning County from Bao Wenting yesterday is also my sister."
"Yes!" Ruolan didn't want to hide it at all. He just wanted to see how stupid this kid could be and whether it was possible to complete a simple detection task. Now it seems that although the reaction circuit is a bit slow, he can still get through it.
Those who are bent, children can be taught, children can be taught~
After that, Ruolan was very, very, very patient in "training" Jiang Yichen with all kinds of common sense and rules in the world. She thought she had completed the task that Shen Xinling had given her to "teach him more when she has time".
Who would have thought that one of the eight red cards of Yichunyuan, who is gentle and graceful in front of ordinary people, would be such a talkative person behind closed doors. Fortunately, Jiang Yichen is not a eloquent person, but he is a good listener and actually listened to everything.
After entering, he has to ask himself how much he can understand, how much he can understand, and how much he can remember.
Fortunately, Ruolan, as one of the eight red cards of Yichun Court, had considerable freedom. After seeing Ruolan dragging a young boy to her room, the third aunt, the madam, did not think too much and did not let the guests disturb her. she.
Until night, after Ruolan "trained" and "entertained" Jiang Yichen, she took him to Shen Xinling's place under the cover of darkness.
The three of them combined the information they had recently obtained and determined that Qianzhulin Winery must have nothing to do with the Red Sect and would take action against the Daoyi Alliance or Juyuan directly in the near future. Shen Xinling will go to Qianzhulin Winery to investigate. The task was carefully arranged and handed over to Jiang Yichen.
…
(Majiayi, Jiangning County)
After being assigned the mission that night, the next day, Jiang Yichen headed west non-stop. After two days of running around, he finally entered the boundaries of Jiangning County. He left his luggage and the little brown horse in Majiayi. After a short rest, he looked for The direction drawn on the map leads to the Thousand Bamboo Forest opposite Majiayi.
That map was naturally the Jiangning County map that Ruolan snatched from Bao Wenting.
For this mission, Jiang Yichen also did his homework with the help of Shen Xinling and Ruolan. Although it was easy for the two of them to complete, for Jiang Yichen who had no experience in the world, any unexpected situation If it is not handled properly, life may be in danger, and the two of them also take great care of Jiang Yichen.
Although he didn't have a good sense of direction, luckily he was lucky. Using the general direction marked on the map, Jiang Yichen reached the back of the winery where Hong Yue, the snake and scorpion girl in Qianzhu Forest, was staying before he fainted.
The winery has existed in Qianzhulin for five years. It mainly produces bamboo wine, and also produces bamboo leaf greens and roasted knives. It is also well-known in Jiangning County. It gained the trust of Taoyuan Town people a year ago and has been a long-term Bamboo wine is served.
The address of the winery is naturally marked in detail on the map, but unless you are here to buy wine, the winery mostly delivers wine to other places, and there are very few merchants coming and going. Jiang Yichen is here to secretly investigate the situation, so he cannot blatantly do so. It passed directly and was completely exposed to the opponent's eyes. Therefore, this operation was completely a latent exploration operation.
Jiang Yichen lay on a hill and looked down, having a panoramic view of the general situation of the winery.
Just like the mark made by Shen Xinling on the map, the winery is located in a large courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences. There are three houses distributed in a concave shape, one is the residence of Hong Yue and Yu Tao, and the other is the residence of the waiters. The largest remaining room in the residence is the wine cellar. Outside the house, there are many large and small wine tanks and wine jars.
The most important goal of this trip is the wine cellar.
