across mountains and seas

Chapter 35 Creditors

Jing Lan compared for a while, and soon realized something, "Liu Xi, are you looking after me for nothing?" Throwing the roster away, Jing Lan continued: "The ghosts in Haicheng must have sex on their faces, No matter who it is, it is very similar to this portrait, what can I see from the roster?"

"Smart!" Liu Xi boasted, sat up straight, and looked at Jing Lan with a smile, "It's just a pity, I'm still too impatient, and the master should be calm."

"..." Jing Lan was silent.

Judging by Liu Xi's expression, he knew early on that it was useless to compare picture books.Knowing that it's useless, why do you have to ask her to read it?

"People can wear masks to pretend to be gods and ghosts..." Liu Xi picked up the roster that Jing Lan had thrown aside, and flipped a page casually, "But this paper and ink can't lie." Saying this, Liu Xi stood up and lay on her stomach. On the book case, I pushed the roster closer to Jing Lan, and said in a deep voice, "If Mr. Chen is killed and replaced halfway, the painting skills cannot be imitated in a year or two. Therefore, I deliberately noted the year, you Carefully compare the portraits of these two people." As if worried that Jing Lan might not be looking carefully, Liu Xi leaned forward unknowingly, unaware that she was already very close to Jing Lan, her forehead was almost touching Jing Lan's.

Jing Lan sensed Liu Xi's approach, and subconsciously shrank back.

Liu Xi didn't think too much about it, thinking that this girl was starting to get angry with her again, so she hooked Jing Lan's neck with one hand to prevent her from shrinking back, and said seriously: "Look carefully!"

"Let go." Jing Lan only felt her ears burn, she had never been so close to anyone before, she just felt that the atmosphere was very strange, she didn't like this kind of intimacy, especially with this troublesome woman.

Liu Xi was startled, and raised her eyes to meet Jing Lan's sullen eyes. Only then did she realize that her actions had indeed violated the etiquette of uncle and sister-in-law.

But from the bottom of her heart, she didn't think of Jing Lan as her brother-in-law. If this gesture was done by an ordinary girl, it would be nothing.

"Let me see for myself, don't touch me!" Jing Lan picked up the picture album on the desk, and moved the chair half a step back, away from Liuxi.

"..." This time Liu Xi was silent.

She pretended to be indifferent and sat back where she was, flipping through the other picture albums.

The atmosphere was a little stiff, and the sudden silence made both of them feel a little cramped.

Jing Lan waited for a while before she could concentrate on comparing the two portraits carefully—the brushwork of ten years ago was sophisticated, while the brushwork of three years ago was a little hasty.

Jing Lan seemed to have found the trick, carefully flipped through this album, and compared the changes in painting skills over the past ten years.

"From the perspective of painting skills, the ghost who pretended to be Mr. Chen sneaked into Haicheng three years ago." Jing Lan recalled carefully, since Mr. Chen came to Haicheng, it seems that he has never left Haicheng.

wrong!

Three years ago, after his father Jing Xiaohai disappeared at sea, Haicheng panicked.Uncle Jing Jiu took people out to sea to look for Jing Xiaohai, and Haicheng was left to the elder brother to take care of it.The eldest brother is in charge of Haicheng at the beginning, so it is impossible to handle affairs seamlessly.

As an old man in Haicheng, Mr. Chen naturally wouldn't do much cross-examination when he went in and out of Haicheng.

At that time, it was the best time to mix into Haicheng.In other words, as long as you find out all the records of going out of Haicheng three years ago, and find out who came back with Mr. Chen, it is very likely that they are the remaining ghosts!

"Looking at you like this, you must have thought of how to catch ghosts?" Liu Xi also spoke.

Jing Lan nodded, "We can't scare the snake this time, we must be caught together."

"Alan, aren't you surprised?" Liu Xi wasn't worried that Jing Lan wouldn't be able to catch anyone, but the timing of "Mr. Chen" sneaking into Haicheng was too coincidental.

Jing Lan was taken aback.

"Elder-in-law also disappeared that year." The more Liu Xi thought about it, the more something went wrong, "If these ghosts wanted us dead, they would have done it long ago."

"Ye Zhen...has the blood of the former emperor's family." Jing Lan knew that she would not be able to hide it from Liu Xi, so she simply said it together and dismissed her earlier, "If Ye Zhen wants to restore the country, he will definitely find a partner. Grandpa's cooperation failed, so he will naturally find someone else to cooperate. Without the Dongjing family, there would still be..." Jing Lan paused, and endured the word "you", "Xishan Liu family."

This is the most reasonable explanation.

If Liu Xi was not a reborn person, she would probably believe this explanation.But in her previous life, Wei Jianbai showed her the layout map of Haicheng, that is to say, Wei Jianbai was Ye's first choice of collaborator.

A long time ago, Liu Xi guessed that the person behind the scenes must also be reborn.Now that she learned about Ye Shi from Jing Lan, she has another guess.

In this life, Wei Jianbai must have been deliberately pushed for her to be killed by someone behind the scenes. In his previous life, that person cooperated with Wei Jianbai, and something must have gone wrong later on. That's why he abandoned Wei Jianbai in such a hurry in this life.

Jing Lan didn't hear Liu Xi's reply, but seeing her suddenly lost in thought, she couldn't help asking, "What did you find?"

"Alan..." Liu Xi looked at her quietly, with shame in her eyes, "Do you... believe that people have past lives?"

Jing Lan felt a chill in her heart, and asked calmly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

This girl must have thought she was talking nonsense again.

Liu Xi didn't think much about what the hidden shock in Jing Lan's eyes meant, she smiled hastily, and just about to change the subject, she heard a servant knocking on the door.

"Young master, Miss Youyou lost her temper in Kedao today."

"She can't help it anymore!" Jing Lan smiled relievedly, counting the days, she has indeed been left alone for a long time, and it's time to re-calculate.

Unexpectedly, when she looked at Liu Xi's eyes, she saw a trace of indifference in them.

"She insisted on coming to my door to settle accounts with me, but I didn't take the initiative to provoke her!" Jing Lan explained casually, "Believe it or not!"

"Miss Youyou." Liu Xi deliberately repeated these four words, obviously wanting to ask clearly.

Jing Lan said seriously: "Isn't there a Youyou Tower on Youyou Island? Where are you going, Liuxi?!"

Before Jing Lan finished speaking, Liu Xi stood up with a knife in hand, opened the door coldly, and said to the shocked boy outside, "Lead the way."

The boy didn't react, "Huh?"

"Lead the way to Kedao, I want to meet this Youyou girl." After Liu Xi finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Jing Lan from the side, "You dare to bring any woman home, but you are not small!"

"Liu Xi, don't wrong me!" Jing Lan couldn't argue with her words, she didn't mean that by leaving You You.

"Heh." Liu Xi smiled coldly in disappointment, and urged the boy, "Let's go!"

"Yes!" The servant didn't dare to provoke Liu Xi, so he had to lower his head and take Liu Xi to Kedao.

Jing Lan didn't want any trouble to happen again at this time, so she immediately grabbed Ning Guang and quickly chased after her.

"Huh?" Jing Huan, who was ordered by Aunt Hong to bring Jing Lan lunch, saw them from afar, and saw their ugly faces, so he quickly shrank back behind the rockery.

Finished!

Xiao Wu must have quarreled with his sister-in-law again!

His first reaction was to find his mother to solve the problem, but on second thought, his mother was also tired for a long time, and finally took a rest, so don't bother her at this time.

He didn't believe it anymore, Xiao Wu dared to quarrel with his sister-in-law when he was there?Anyway, he is also a brother!

Thinking of this, Jing Huan made up his mind, put his lunch on the stone table, and quietly followed the two of them from Butian Shixia to leave Haicheng and take a boat to Kedao.

"Clang!"

The servant just brought Liuxi to the small building in Kedao, and heard the sound of smashing plates inside.

Liu Xi said in a cold voice, "You're not short-tempered." After finishing speaking, she intentionally glanced sideways at Jing Lan, "So you like this."

"Liu Xi, I warn you, I have nothing to do with her!" Jing Lan shouted angrily.

"Really?" Liu Xi took a step forward, with an imposing manner, "The golden house has been hiding for a long time, Ah Lan, you are very powerful!"

Jing Lan raised her eyebrows and was about to argue, but Liu Xi didn't want to listen anymore.

She carried a knife and went up the small building fiercely along the stairs, and pushed open the door, but her expression froze in place, and she asked incredulously, "It's you?"

Youyou sat obliquely on the window sill bored, and said with a smile, "Yo! It seems that you are in good health!" While speaking, she turned the pipe in her hand, and glanced at Jing Lan behind her, "Tsk tsk, young master Jing It’s true that the nobleman forgets things so much, you want to renege on your debt by leaving this girl here for many days?!”

Jing Lan was not in a hurry to answer Youyou, she wanted to know another thing, "Do you know each other?"

"Naturally!" Youyou jumped down from the window sill, put the pipe on her waist, took out Xiaojin's abacus from her arms, and started fighting, "Liuxi, the medicine that saved you last time You haven’t paid the money yet! Let’s forget about it today!” As she spoke, she glanced at Jing Lan again, “Don’t try to renege on your debts!”

Liu Xi's eyes were complicated, and her sudden silence made Jing Lan feel that things were not that simple.

Youyou calculated a few times, and proudly said: "A few months ago, I rescued her outside the gate of the Liu family in Xishan, but she disappeared as soon as she woke up. The medicinal materials I bought for nothing will pay me double. of!"

Jing Lan was extremely shocked.

That day Liuxi was seriously injured and climbed out of the gate of the Liu family in Xishan, but the person who rescued her was Youyou!

"bass!"

The Ningguang in Jing Lan's hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and pointed at Youyou, "Who are you?"

"The creditors of both of you." Youyou answered simply, and after she had made up her mind, she told Jing Lan a sum of money, "The medicines used on her are not cheap, double the compensation, you owe me 10 taels Silver, plus the sea hooking snake guts I gave her later, and the interest that you have left me for more than a month, I will give you a discount, and you should give me 10 taels of gold."

"Okay!" Liu Xi suddenly responded.

Youyou was slightly startled, looked at Liuxi calmly, and reminded: "10 taels of gold is not silver."

"Give me ten days, and I'll give you 10 taels of gold. You and I will pay each other." Liu Xi took a step forward, suppressed the light in Jing Lan's hand, and stood in front of Jing Lan. .”

How could Jing Lan agree to her?

Where is the 10 taels of gold in Haicheng? !Even if there is, you can't just blackmail this door-to-door for nothing!

Liu Xi held her hand and exerted a little force. Although he didn't say it clearly, Jing Lan suddenly realized that Liu Xi must have thought of a countermeasure.
