Chapter 218 It Was You
The second ri, after breakfast, the servants sent by the boss arrived on time.
After Zhengliang and Wang Hai were in charge, they followed the servant alone as a passerby and walked out of the city.
To be honest, Zhengliang always thought that the other party would choose to meet in the city, such as restaurants or even residential buildings. After all, the city is mixed with fish and snakes, which makes it easy to hide, but he never expected that the other party chose outside the city as a place to meet.
Walking along the official road to the suburbs, Zhengliang couldn't help but murmured to himself that the other party would not have other intentions. However, seeing Wang Hai's calm look, Zhengliang decided to go a while before calculating.
Zhengliang is now located in the suburbs of the north of Ningbo City. Not far away is the three ports, which are very famous after the Ri, and are named after the convergence of three rivers.
The two continued to walk with the servant for about two quarters of an hour until they arrived near a ferry. Zhengliang looked carefully and saw a stone tablet next to the ferry, "Peach Blossom Ferry". Is the other party on the other side? Zhengliang couldn't help but think.
But what Zhengliang expected was that when he was about to approach the ferry, the servant in charge of leading the way suddenly turned and walked along the road by the river. Soon everyone stopped in front of a yard with peach trees planted in front of a yard.
The servant walked to the gate of the yard and slapped the gate several times. The gate of the yard creaked and opened a crack. The servant leading the way whispered to the person who opened the door, and the gate creaked and opened. Then the servant leading the way turned around and waved to Zhengliang and the others, signaling Zhengliang and the others to follow him.
When I walked into the yard, I found that this was a typical Jiangnan garden. (.)
This is a two-in-one courtyard. Zhengliang is now in the outer courtyard. As soon as he enters the entrance, he is facing a huge granite screen, covered with green vines, and a corridor on both sides of the left and right. At the end of the corridor on the left, you can see a circular arch. Through the arch, you can see that there is another entrance yard inside. The corridor on the right leads to some rooms, which should be the rooms where the people live.
Following the servant leading the way, he walked onto the left corridor paved with bluestone, and soon bypassed the huge stone screen. At this time, Zhengliang saw the whole picture of the outer courtyard. The outer courtyard was square, with a small pond in the middle. The pond was a pavilion, and a small arched bridge connected the corridor on the left, and on the right side of the courtyard were several neatly arranged rooms. At this moment, Zhengliang was following the servant leading the way to one of the rooms.
After arriving at the reception room, the servant made a gesture of inviting. Zhengliang and the others followed the servant into the room, and saw a beautiful screen in the room, dividing the room into two. A table had been placed on the side of Zhengliang and the others, which was obviously prepared for them.
It seems that the other party does not want to meet with him directly. Seeing this situation, Zheng Lian thought in his heart. However, from the other party's perspective, this is a normal move. Without confirming whether Zheng Lian is really qualified to cooperate with him, it is reasonable to do so for safety reasons.
Zhengliang smiled indifferently, looked at Wang Hai and sat down safely.
"Miss. The two guests have arrived." The servant who had been in charge of leading the way said respectfully to the other side of the screen.
"It turns out that the guest has not been able to meet you from a distance, so please forgive me." A wonderful voice came from behind the screen.
"Haha, you are welcome. Today I will bring His Highness Masayoshi from Riben." Wang Hai immediately bowed to the other side of the screen and said.
"Your Highness Zhengliang, the little girl is polite. Since Your Highness comes from afar, it must be a sure thing for this cooperation, so the little girl is also trampling around the bush. Please tell me what kind of benefits your Highness can bring to our family this time," the woman said slowly.
Zhengliang was stunned when he heard this. The woman's style was so refreshing and straightforward. He actually said politely and went straight to the point. Since the other party was like this, Zhengliang was not polite, and immediately asked Wang Hai to tell the plan that the two of them had discussed last night.
Why did Wang Hai say this? It was mainly to indirectly tell the woman inside that Wang Hai and Zhengliang had already discussed this plan.
Sure enough, after Wang Hai spoke out this plan, the woman asked several more questions in detail, but in the end she didn't say anything. She should be thinking about gains and losses.
Zhengliang and Wang Hai were not in a hurry. While drinking tea, they quietly waited for each other's response.
"His Your Highness Zhengliang just came from Japan?" At this time, the woman inside suddenly asked a strange question.
"I have arrived several times before, but I only arrived at Ningbo Prefecture yesterday." Zhengliang answered truthfully. Anyway, it is an irrelevant question, and it doesn't matter if he answers generously.
"I wonder which official road His Highness Zhengliang is walking to Ningbo Prefecture?" the woman continued to ask.
This time Zhengliang did not answer immediately because he felt a little strange. Why did the other party keep asking about his journey?
"To be honest, the little woman had encountered attacks from evil people on her way back to Ningbo Mansion two times ago. The family servants were killed and injured. In the crisis, a chivalrous man happened to help him to survive. The little woman just heard the accent of His Highness Zhengliang, which seemed to be quite similar to the chivalrous man who was in the ri, so she asked this question." The woman saw that Masaru had not responded for a long time, so she had to say quietly.
"Uh" Zhengliang was stunned. Could it be such a coincidence? Isn't the chivalrous man the woman mentioned? Wang Hai was also quite shocked. First, because the boss was attacked, from time to time, he was attacked after meeting him, and he might be suspected of being colluded with the enemy; second, Zhengliang was forced to take the clerk, and then rescued people in the evening, he also knew a little about it, and immediately guessed that the chivalrous man the boss mentioned was Zhengliang himself. Thinking of this, Wang Hai looked at Zhengliang with all the inquiries in his eyes.
Seeing Wang Hai's eyes, Zhengliang smiled bitterly, then took out the handkerchief that night, deliberately left by the woman rescued, and handed it to the servant beside him, signaling him to the owner. The handkerchief was originally to be put in Zhengliang's package, but Ming Feng Xiuzheng, who was responsible for keeping the package, was reluctant to carry the handkerchief. He was also a wise man, and obviously felt that the woman left the handkerchief for the head of the family. In order to avoid suspicion, even if it was kept on behalf of him, he was unwilling to do so. Zhengliang was also a person who followed him and simply brought the handkerchief with him. Unexpectedly, it happened to be handy in the sky.
After the servant took the handkerchief, he handed it to a maid. The maid immediately took the handkerchief to his master.
A sound of a chair moving came from inside "Squeak", and then a woman was heard saying, "Sure enough, it's indeed a knight." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
