Chapter 244 You Should Take the Blame

Someone actually wanted to kill Jiang Youzhen, and offered a huge reward. Jiang Youzhen's life was worth one thousand taels of silver, which shocked him.

"The mission has failed, there is no need to accept it again. Tell the other party that Hongmen will not accept missions from that person in the future." Tong Huaian threw the contract on the table.

"Also keep an eye on their every move. Since they are so ruthless, we will definitely be able to catch a big fish."

The person who wants to kill Jiang Youzhen must be the mastermind behind the iron mine case. Even if the mastermind is not here, catching the big fish and following the clues will definitely have unexpected results.

"But if we, the Red Gate, accept the mission and shirk our responsibilities if the mission fails, it will inevitably affect our reputation. Your Highness, please think twice." The man in black was a little worried. After all, it was not easy to establish the Red Gate, and the young master had spent a lot of effort on it.

"This matter has already involved an official appointed by the imperial court, and the power behind it is very great. We, the Red Gate, are only offering a bounty and are an underworld organization, so we must not get involved. Just go ahead and do it."

"Yes!"

Tong Huaian looked at the contract on the table and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. There were so many things going on in Hongmen that he couldn't possibly be involved in everything. Of course, he didn't know that Hongmen had accepted the mission to assassinate Jiang Youzhen.

Fortunately, the mission failed, otherwise he would have become the murderer who killed Jiang Youzhen. Thinking of this, he was a little scared.

As for those things, there was no way they would fall into their hands anyway, so it didn’t matter whether they were given to the Second Prince or not.

Jiang Youzhen was writing furiously under the candlelight when he heard voices outside.

"We will take care of Mr. Jiang's safety, so Mr. Tong doesn't need to worry about it."

This is Qiu Zhong's voice. Who is he talking to? It sounds righteous and cold.

"Wouldn't it be better to have more people to protect Master Jiang? I heard that you were attacked yesterday and Master Jiang was also quite frightened. Besides, we are here to protect Master Jiang, what does it have to do with you? We are just letting you know, don't act like the master."

Huh? It was Xiaowu's voice.

Xiao Wu looked at Qiu Zhong and snorted coldly. What was so great about a little guard? If it was Zhou Hai who came over, he would still be a little bit afraid.

"Master Jiang, I am here to protect you on your orders. Rest assured, I will be waiting outside."

Xiaowu raised his voice, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, young master. It's a great honor for you."

Jiang Youzhen was only protected by Qiu Zhong, but now that there were a few more people, she felt relieved.

It's really hard to get these 50,000 taels of silver! I hope this case will be resolved quickly!

Xiao Wu, who was standing outside the door, curled his lips when he heard this. His master even sent someone to protect Jiang Youzhen! Unexpectedly, Jiang Youzhen didn't even open the door, but just said a meaningless thank you. He really felt sorry for his master.

No! Could it be that she had to wait until the Second Prince completed his mission and returned to the capital before she could escape danger?

Jiang Youzhen suddenly thought of something and opened the window immediately.

"Xiao Wu, your young master's kindness really makes me feel guilty. It's a pity that the things are no longer with me, otherwise I would give them to you immediately."

Jiang Youzhen sighed as he spoke, his face full of guilt. "I'd rather die than let my friend die!" Second Prince, your safety is protected anyway, so you should just take the blame!

Xiao Wu's face changed, and he became even angrier. He snorted coldly, "My master didn't ask us to protect you just for the things in your hand. He just wanted to protect us for the friendship we had before. Since the master has given the order, we can only follow it."

After he finished speaking, he took his men to one side and ignored Jiang Youzhen. Jiang Youzhen had achieved his goal and stopped talking nonsense with Xiaowu.

However, Qiu Zhong's face changed. Although this matter could not be concealed for long, Jiang Youzhen revealed the news in advance in order to protect himself, which would bring great resistance to His Highness.

This kid really has no conscience. Your Highness is absolutely right.

After Jiang Youzhen finished speaking, she packed up, washed up, and went to bed. There were so many people around, so what was she afraid of?

After a good night's sleep, Jiang Youzhen came out after washing up and found that Xiaowu and Qiu Zhong had dark circles under their eyes.

As soon as Qiu Zhong saw Jiang Youzhen coming out, he said, "Last night was calm and peaceful, and no one attacked at night."

Jiang Youzhen nodded. She had previously guessed that someone must be hiding in the dark and observing her. She had said those words last night to those people. The thing was no longer in her hands.

Even if they came to arrest me, it would be useless. People who wanted to kill me would not think of themselves as a threat. As expected, there was no movement last night.

"Young Master Jiang is really good at this." Qiu Zhong couldn't help but sneered.

Xiao Wu's eyes rolled. What happened? Was he also fooled by Jiang Youzhen?

"We didn't encounter any attacks last night. It's possible that these people are waiting for an opportunity to strike. I'd like to ask you to take care of us tonight."

Jiang Youzhen's nonchalant look deeply hurt the two people's hearts. They felt sorry for their master, this guy was so cold and indifferent. But then they thought, he didn't ask for a secret before, so they couldn't blame him.

Jiang Youzhen went to the private school refreshed. Yesterday, Wen Ruyu and Huang Xue Ning went to the bookstore to bargain again. The Huang family's typesetting and printing had already been completed. Ten copies were published overnight and put in the bookstore, selling for forty cents per copy.

"So cheap?" Jiang Youzhen was a little surprised. A copy of "The Analects of Confucius" costs more than 200 characters. Although it is a storybook, it still took a lot of thought.

"How can it be cheaper? It's definitely not as good as our Four Books and Five Classics. Besides, this is just a pastime in one's spare time. Who would buy it if they don't have some spare money? We can sell it at a lower price first to attract buyers, and then raise the price based on the content in the future. This is feasible."

"Then let's do as the two brothers say." Jiang Youzhen nodded. At 40 cents per copy, they really had to make a small profit but sell a lot.

Anyway, she had no intention of participating in this deal, so any dividends could be ignored.

"Here! I left one for you. Am I being nice?" Huang Xue Ning handed over a book with a yellow-green cover, on which was written the title "Beauty Skin".

The title of the book alone is enough to attract people's attention. Jiang Youzhen also had to praise, "The cover is very good."

“I have another suggestion to discuss with my junior brother. My senior brother and I think that if the number of illustrated books needed is not large, we can ask someone to copy them. It will only cost a little money.

Because it is troublesome to carve illustrations, and we have new books coming out all the time, so it is impossible to carve and print illustrations every time, unless the quantity is very large. "

Jiang Youzhen thought it made sense, "Then let's follow your advice. You two are very thoughtful. I just took it for granted."

Huang Xuening scratched the back of her head a little embarrassedly after being praised by Jiang Youzhen. She didn't expect that such a smart person like Jiang Youzhen would also be inconsiderate sometimes.

Although he was scolded by his father for being so stupid, at least he had some talent for business.

It was noon, and as soon as school was over, Jiang Youzhen urged Wen Ruyu and the others to go to Hongyun Building quickly.
