Chapter 143 I will definitely repay you in the future
At this moment, Jiang Youzhen was making pancakes on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. When she was no longer sleepy, she liked to think about random things.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly jumped out of bed and said, "This person is definitely not just stealing things!"
The next day, before the stars set in the sky, Jiang Youzhen was sleeping soundly when she heard a rustling sound coming from the room. She immediately opened her eyes and found that the man in black was sitting in front of the round table.
Jiang Youzhen sat up in shock as if he was dying, "You haven't left yet?"
"If you shout louder, you'll attract everyone and let them know we're accomplices." The man in black snorted coldly.
"Where did you hide yesterday?" Jiang Youzhen was very curious. The house was so small that the runners even turned over the ceiling of the wing room, but they couldn't find anyone.
Could it be? There is a mechanism in this room? Jiang Youzhen thought about it and felt that this was the most reliable explanation.
"I told you, I have my own way, and I will definitely not implicate you. To tell you the truth! I am not an ordinary thief, but a serious criminal they want to catch. Once they catch me, you will definitely be implicated. You have helped me this time, and this is your reward."
As he spoke, the man slapped a silver note on the table. Jiang Youzhen slowly got down from the bed, picked up the silver note and took a look at it, and found that it was a silver note for one hundred taels.
If it was when she first came here, Jiang Youzhen might still be excited, but now she has 150,000 to 6000 taels of silver in her hand, what kind of waves can these 100 taels stir in her heart?
"How much do I value it? I didn't expect your life to be so worthless that you just send it away for a hundred taels." Jiang Youzhen sneered and threw the banknote on the table.
"And I'm not helping you, you're threatening me to help you. I think the leader is quite reasonable. If I report you, the reward will be more than this, right?"
The man in black saw that Jiang Youzhen didn't take the hundred taels of silver seriously and looked him up and down in surprise.
The fine cotton jacket and the boots on his feet were nice, but the entire piece of his body was worth only a few taels of silver. How could he be so shameless as to complain that a hundred taels was too little?
"You ignorant boy, do you know how much one hundred taels is?" The man was a little embarrassed, but still asked in a timid tone.
Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes. "Before I change my mind, leave my house. That person seems to know something about your whereabouts, but he doesn't recognize your face. I guess it shouldn't be difficult for you to escape, right? Otherwise, he may plant spies in the inn, or come back to kill you. It wouldn't matter if you died, but it would be bad if you implicated me."
The man in black now looked at Jiang Youzhen with new eyes, "I didn't expect you to be so smart."
After a long while, he whispered, "Help me find some herbs. I'll give you whatever money you want."
"We have no shortage of money." Jiang Youzhen didn't want to get involved. She just wanted this person to leave quickly.
"I don't have much money on me right now, so I'll use this as collateral. Take this jade pendant to Baolong Bank, any bank will do, and they'll give you five hundred taels of silver."
As he spoke, the man covered his right waist. Jiang Youzhen then realized that he was injured. He was injured but still had the leisure to sit at the table and wait for her to wake up. What was he pretending?
"Do you think I'm stupid? If I take this jade pendant with me, I might be robbed. Who will give me money then? They might even try to kill me." Jiang Youzhen didn't care about the five hundred taels. She loved money, but it was easy for her to make money. Why take the risk?
Helplessness flashed across the black-clothed man's eyes, and his breathing gradually became heavier.
"Why are you so stubborn? Even if you don't take it to the bank, isn't this jade pendant worth five hundred taels? This is mutton-fat white jade, you probably don't recognize it, right?"
"You said that I can get the silver with the jade pendant, which means it is something that proves your identity. When the time comes, I will take it out and sell the silver. What if the people who are tracking you find out?"
It was the first time that Li Dongsheng was at a loss for words and was left speechless by someone's criticism.
"In fact, this wing of yours originally belonged to me. I asked someone to reserve it five days ago. But the shopkeeper was greedy for money, or maybe he wanted to settle the accounts. Seeing that no one had stayed in this wing for the past few days, he decided to give it to you without permission."
Jiang Youzhen looked at him suspiciously. She thought for a moment, but shook her head.
"From the captain's accent and yours, you should be from the capital, right? He was able to confirm that you were not a guest of the inn, so he must have known that it was impossible for you to come here before today. Who are you trying to fool?"
Jiang Youzhen looked at him with a half-smile, thinking she was stupid? There were no phones these days, so he thought he could just call the innkeeper to reserve a room?
"Unless you are the owner of this inn, this room is originally yours."
"Cough cough!" The man in black touched the wound and tried not to cough too hard.
Unexpectedly, just by her trick, the man's pupils actually shrank slightly, and Jiang Youzhen knew that she had guessed it right.
Li Dongsheng was indeed shocked. He didn't expect that this kid could figure out so much just based on Qin Yandong's simple actions. This kid was very observant and extremely intelligent.
He couldn't help but think of the advisers in his own house. If these people were like this, why would he be in such a mess this time?
Jiang Youzhen was too lazy to talk nonsense, and then pointed at the window, "Let's go now! I'm about to check out of the room, and the next tenant won't be as easy to talk to as me."
Li Dongsheng was speechless. There were many people who were blinded by money, but this guy was so difficult to deal with. But he was not sure about others. Although this guy had a bad temper, as long as he got money, he would not go back on his word.
There must be a check at the city gate now. He is not worried about being recognized, but his wound is a problem. Qin Yandong injured himself last night, and the check today must be based on the wound.
He secretly hated it in his heart, and when he returned to Beijing, he would definitely dismiss the shopkeeper. How could such a blind man dare to let someone else live in his wing room without permission?
"If you can take me out of the city, that's fine, but I'm losing too much blood from this wound, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for long."
He then took out a jade ring from his bosom and said, "These are all the things I have on me for now. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Li Dongsheng was already feeling cold all over, and the wound was still bleeding, but he had wrapped it with a black cloth, the color of which had only become darker.
Seeing that he refused to leave, Jiang Youzhen felt a headache and could only say, "I have some hemostatic powder for external injuries, and I can also treat your wounds."
The man in black looked happy, but then he looked suspicious, "You have these drugs?"
"It's usually used for livestock." Jiang Youzhen was telling the truth.
Li Dongsheng: ...I don’t seem to have the right to be picky.
"Take off your clothes quickly! Quick and decisive battle!" Jiang Youzhen pretended to get something from the bed, but actually he took something out from the space.
