Li Cheng was stunned.
It took a long time for him to react.
He stroked his chin, his eyes shifting back and forth between the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom, Jing Rong, and Ji Yunshu.
"What? Marquis of the Southern Kingdom, you know them? "
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom did not respond to him. Instead, he looked straight at the two people behind him.
Ji Yunshu was startled, but she quickly recovered.
He stopped pretending.
"I didn't expect you to recognize me."
"Since you're my benefactor, no matter what you become? "Actually, after our last meeting, the shopkeeper had already told me who you were. However, Marquis has hidden his identity well. Although I saw the peacock feathers on your body when I first saw you, I still thought that you were just a merchant nobleman.
This Marquis. "
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom said solemnly, "Sometimes, people can't make their own choices."
There was a lot of helplessness in it.
Then, he said, "I wonder if I could have a word with you in private?"
Ji Yunshu glanced at him.
After getting the latter's agreement with his gaze, Lin Sanjiu nodded.
She agreed, "Alright."
Li Cheng did not participate in the conversation between the three of them.
More precisely, the Marquis of Southern Kingdom forbade him from participating.
In the end, they left him behind and went to a private room in a teahouse.
The waiter bowed and asked, "What do you need?"
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom raised his hand. "I don't need anything."
"Two pots of good tea?"
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom took out an ingot of silver and placed it on the table. "Don't let anyone come up to the second floor for now."
Seeing the silver, the waiter's eyes lit up.
He quickly accepted the silver and persuaded the people who were drinking tea on the second floor to leave one by one.
Amidst the scolding, the second floor regained its peace.
During this time, Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu had already wiped the soot off their faces.
His handsome face was revealed.
He had to admit that the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.
Jing Rong gazed at the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom and raised his hand to express his thanks. "Marquis, many thanks for just now."
Clearly, he had seen through everything.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom said, "Fortunately, I came in time. If I were a bit later, I wouldn't have been able to save you. By now, you might already be in the Ministry of Justice's prison."
"But how did the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom know that we are in the Ministry of Revenue?"
"It's a long story." The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom did not want to beat around the bush. He looked at them and directly asked, "I invited the two of you here because I want to know who you are looking for at the Ministry of Revenue."
Ugh!
The strangeness of his words was obvious.
Didn't he ask them why they disguised themselves to go to the archives of the Ministry of Revenue?
Instead, he directly asked who to look for?
It was clear that the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom knew exactly why they were going to the Ministry of Revenue.
Jing Rong immediately became more vigilant. "It seems that the Marquis is very concerned about our whereabouts." The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom explained, "To tell you the truth, back in the Great Lin, you were the ones who saved my child who almost died in my womb. You are my benefactors, and I will definitely engrave this kindness in my heart. Not long ago, I didn't expect to meet Miss Ji. When I found out that you had arrived in Huyi, I wanted to repay your kindness.
Young Miss has repeatedly declined, but you must not forget to repay kindness! I secretly sent people to find out where you live and inadvertently found out your purpose in coming to Huyi. It turns out you are looking for someone. I believe that the person you are looking for must be very difficult to find, so you took the risk to go to the Ministry of Revenue. Fortunately, I learned in advance that the Second Prince was going to the Ministry of Revenue, so I hurried over. It's not too early or too late. Right now, I want to do my best to help you find the person you are looking for.
I know a lot of people in Gaoding, so I can only secretly ask around and find some clues. I will do my best to help you find him. This is better than taking the risk to go to the Ministry of Revenue, right? Moreover, we have already alerted the enemy. It will be very difficult to investigate again. "
His words were full of sincerity.
Jing Rong also agreed with him.
Right now, they had indeed alerted the enemy. It was impossible to go to the Ministry of Revenue.
After listening to his words, Ji Yunshu fell into silence.
She was very clear that the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom in front of her was not a simple person.
Moreover, he was very well hidden!
In that case, should she believe in his "good intentions"?
This was something she needed to consider.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom saw that the two of them were hesitant to speak and understood their worries.
He said, "If I had the intention to harm you, I wouldn't have gone to the Ministry of Revenue just now! You can trust me completely. "
Every word was spoken with great emphasis.
Ji Yunshu's heart was beating like a drum. Her fingers were tightly twisted together.
Finally …
She said a name.
"Cha He."
Cha He!
When the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom heard this name, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He was stunned!
However, the shock on his face was quickly swept away.
It was well concealed.
Even the excitement in his eyes couldn't be seen ….
He held back the tears in his eyes as he looked at Ji Yunshu's incomparably familiar face. He restrained his trembling voice and calmly asked, "This person … what is his relationship with you?"
Ji Yunshu replied, "As for my relationship, Marquis doesn't need to know. If you can help me find this person, I will be eternally grateful."
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom's hands on his knees clenched into fists.
His body trembled violently.
"Alright, I will definitely help you find this person."
… …
The three of them separated.
On the carriage back to the old mansion, Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu wore grave expressions.
After a while, the former asked, "Don't you feel that the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom is acting very strange?"
The latter looked straight ahead. "Tell me about it." "We have always been looking for people in secret, so it is impossible for the news of us going to the Ministry of Revenue to spread. Even Li Cheng would not say anything! And every time we discussed this matter, there were no outsiders present. However, according to the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom, he secretly sent people to investigate.
That's all you should know, unless … "
His voice gradually became softer.
Before she could finish, Jing Rong interrupted, "Unless we connect our previous conjectures together!"
Ji Yunshu paused. Only then did he say, "If that's the case, then the reason why that person called Lian Que barged into the rundown temple to kill and rescue must have been under the orders of the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom. It can be seen that the two people in the sack aren't simple, otherwise the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom wouldn't be involved! At that time, even Sparrow thought that we were enemies and wanted to silence us. However, he saw the jade token given to me by the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom, so he did not kill me. Instead, he ordered a retreat and followed us all the way to confirm our identities! That's why we were trapped in the White House.
That's why he secretly helped us when we were trapped in the Third Marquis' mansion. "
Jing Rong said, "That's right! That's why everything is connected. "
'Is that really the case?
