Chapter 128 I Really Don’t Know
Jiang Hao concealed the fact that he was the one who faked Yingtao's death, so that Yingtao thought that she was knocked unconscious by Lu Zhan and then thrown away, but was saved by the two people in front of her.
When Jiang Hao planned this, she just heard Xu Xing say that Yingtao was the daughter of Xie Mingyuan and a dancer. So, she wanted to keep it in reserve to see if it could be used in the future.
I just didn’t expect that no matter whether it could be used against the Xie family in the future, it might be used now.
"I didn't save you out of kindness. There is a cause for every effect. I want to get some information from you."
Jiang Hao was very straightforward without any embellishment, and he didn't think there was much use in beating around the bush.
Xu Xing was surprised when he heard it, and then smiled in his heart. This was indeed her style - direct and never beating around the bush.
It was obvious when she dealt with Xu Zhao.
She is not a "kind" person.
Xu Zhao should be thankful that they met Jiang Hao by accident, and that Jiang Hao realized their identities, so that they temporarily had the same goal.
Otherwise, given Jiang Hao's style of doing things, Xu Zhao would have been stubborn long ago.
Although Xu Xing didn't want to think of his brother in such a bad way, that was the fact.
"You want to ask about something related to Lord Lu?"
Although Yingtao was young, she was not stupid. After looking back and forth between Jiang Hao and Xu Xing, she asked, "Are you imperial envoys?"
"You also know the imperial envoy?"
Yingtao nodded: "I know. Your Excellency has been in a bad mood recently because of the imperial envoy. Yesterday, I heard that County Magistrate Jiang was arrested, and I was in an even worse mood."
The mood was already bad, and then there was a mine landslide. The number of casualties could not be determined for a while, but the mining work could not be stopped, which meant that they had to go to Yuzhou Prefecture or even other prefectures to recruit miners.
With so many troubles hanging around him, it would be strange for Lu Zhan to be in a good mood.
"You are with Lord Lu all day long. Have you ever seen him hide the account books?"
Seeing that she knew everything, Xu Xing asked directly about the account books.
Being a close servant for a year, you must have seen this before, right?
Yingtao shook her head, bewildered. "The master's account book is in the study, not hidden away. If you want the account book, go to the study."
"I don't want the study account book."
Jiang Hao didn't believe her: "What I want is the account book showing Lu Zhan's collusion and corruption with officials from Yuzhou Prefecture."
Cherry shook her head: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"If that's the case, then there's no need for me to save you. After all, there's no value in doing so, and it's actually very risky."
As Jiang Hao spoke, he inserted a silver needle into Cherry's neck. She was suddenly speechless again. She stared at Jiang Hao in horror with her eyes wide open, and panic flashed in her eyes.
"The blood on her body has dried, but the bloody smell is strong. It won't be long before wolves and tigers will come. There's no need for us to wait with her."
Jiang Hao stood up and told Xu Xing to leave: "It seems there is no useful information. We can only take another risk tonight."
After saying this, he left without looking back.
Xu Xing glanced at Yingtao, who was already extremely panicked, and walked away.
Cherry was really anxious.
She lay on the ground, unable to move, unable to scream or shout, and even she could not ignore the smell of blood on her body.
Animals have a much better sense of smell than humans.
……
Not far away, Jiang Hao and Xu Xing stood under a tree and observed the situation on Yingtao's side.
Xu Xing asked: "Do you think it will be useful?"
Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes and stared at the cherries, counting them silently in his heart. Hearing Xu Xing's words, he replied calmly: "Whether it is useful or not, we will know in a while."
