Chapter 198 I Am Not a Mouse!

The voice was not loud, which was in sharp contrast to Zhao Jiu's arrogance just now. But the arrogance, certainty, and unquestionability in his words have not changed from beginning to end.

The two people holding the umbrella didn't have any objections. They were here to help. It didn't matter who listened. What was important was that they didn't let them take the blame. If there is still merit to be gained, that would be the best.

Suzaku on the other side folded his hands and placed them on his lap, thinking silently. Although the above intention was to let her take the lead, she had never worked with Zhao before and didn't know his way of dealing with people. Secondly, she still has a way out. If she plunges in, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be a disaster for her?

"Let me think about it..."

"Please." Of course Zhao would not refuse such a reasonable request.

Carrying a chair and sitting under the eaves to take shelter from the rain, he didn't like to vent his true energy all the time. Because this always gives him a sense that danger is always present.

He didn't like the urgency.

The light rain fell on the tiles and splashed, making no sound at all, just like a burst of green smoke scattered in the wind. Misty Rain, Misty Rain, lives up to its name...

Jiang Qianhu and Li Yizhen followed suit, each moved a chair and sat under the eaves like Zhao.

Not a single lamp was lit in the house, not a single lantern was hung under the eaves, and the yard was completely dark. The three of them were sitting in a row on the steps and under the eaves, and Suzaku was sitting alone in the courtyard in the rain. This situation is like three judges jointly trying one person.

Suzaku turned his head and glanced at the three of them, frowning. Before coming to Jiangnan, Lu Wenyu specifically told them to fight quickly. They were waiting, and the emperor couldn't wait any longer!

After hesitating for a long time, the rain started to fall less and less, and then she finally made up her mind and said, "Okay, I can listen to you, but I have conditions."

"Let's talk about it." Zhao didn't mind and said calmly. On the contrary, it is unusual for him to agree immediately. After all, this is a young master. He will listen to a second-grade person without hesitation and will not doubt anyone else.

She held up two green-white fingers and said, "First, I will only listen to you on the matter of raising food; second, I will only be responsible for the execution, and I will not participate in the decision."

Good guy, we haven't even started yet, and we're already ready to end the relationship. Zhao sneered inwardly. Sure enough, no one with such a level of cultivation is easy to get along with.

"Okay! Don't worry, it's not your turn to take the blame. If you want to behead him, I'll behead him first!" He agreed. He finally managed to trick a little grandmaster, but he had to hold on tight.

Then he smiled and said, "But you have to guarantee my safety. Let me explain first, I have offended many people!"

Suzaku said "Okay" without thinking. In her opinion, being an imperial envoy is something that offends people. Besides, what's the point of offending a few people? There is an emperor behind them!

No matter how great you are, can you be as great as the emperor?

"It's so good! Miss Suzaku is really in pain!" Zhao smiled happily, his expression was a bit unrestrained, and even his sitting posture relaxed.

The words had been agreed, so there was no need for Suzaku to sit in the rain and show off. He picked up the chair and gave Jiang Qianhu a kick, "Sit over here, don't you see that I don't have a seat?"

Jiang Qianhu hurriedly changed seats and sat next to Li Yizhen, muttering, "Bullying the weak and fearing the strong..."

"What are you mumbling about?"

"No, no! I sigh that Miss Suzaku is so beautiful!"

"You think I can use my beauty?"

The two of them moved to the side and distanced themselves from Zhao and Suzaku. These two people, one is always risking his life, and the other likes to discourage others, they are both difficult to mess with.

Let them get closer and hurt each other! The two of them were thinking at the same time.

"Where do you plan to raise food from?" Suzaku crossed his legs and fiddled with his hair, asking one after another.

"Guancang." Zhao Ju cherished the word as gold.

The two of them turned to look at Zhao Jiu at the same time. Li Yizhen also pretended to be surprised and stared at Zhao Jiu in order to join the group. Suzaku was a little confused, "Are you sure?"

Zhao Jiu's answer was still short, "It's okay."

"How are you going to get it out? Dig a tunnel? Or set fire?" Not getting the answer he wanted, Suzaku didn't hesitate and asked other questions out of curiosity.

Zhao, who didn't understand her thoughts, was speechless. Forget about digging tunnels, what was the purpose of setting fire? Send yourself on your way in advance?

So he had no choice but to say, "I'm not a mouse! Why are you digging a hole? Don't worry about how to get it out. I have my own way!"

"Why don't we let the local officials come up with it and we'll be responsible for the transportation." Jiang Qianhu suddenly thought.

"Don't they know what the official warehouse represents? Why should I help you? Am I an imperial envoy? Raising food is just an oral instruction from the emperor and has not been put on paper! Only we and the fifth master know it. Do you think the emperor will recognize it then? ?" Zhao just covered his face and sighed, if only it were that simple.

Jiang Qianhu retorted, "Why? They know why when the knife is on the neck!"

"Nonsense! If all the state capitals in Jiangnan don't agree, is it possible to kill them all? What's the charge? Collaborating with the enemy?"

"A few of them can be said to be collaborators with the enemy. Could it be that the whole of Jiangnan is collaborators with the enemy? Do you want to rebel?"

Zhao was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair. Wouldn't this person become a habit of killing people in the capital? They are killing and killing at every turn. No, brother, you are sick!

Don't hold me back even if you want to die!

Seeing that Jiang Qianhu was silent, Suzaku smiled and said, "What should we do? I think we might as well dig a tunnel!"

"Why are you following him to cause trouble? I have a plan!" Zhao Zuo nodded. Each of the two people bombarded one ear, and he felt his head was buzzing.

After waving to signal them to stop talking, he held his chin and thought quietly. The two of them lost interest when they saw Zhao. They couldn't say anything more, so they just shut up and enjoyed the rain.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao finally raised his head and glanced at the three people left and right. Suppressing the worries in his heart, he arranged, "Old Li, tell me what you want to do first."

"Oh, okay!" Li Yizhen was bored and picking his ears sideways when he suddenly heard Zhao Jiu's voice. He quickly sat up straight, put down his hands and listened carefully.

"On the official road from Bianzhou to Qizhou, there is a villa. The mountains behind it and the canal are all ours. Mr. Lu has already asked craftsmen to renovate it. It is estimated that it will be completed in the next two days. I plan to build a brothel. From now on, it will be under your control." Zhao arranged with the tip of his nose.

When Li Yizhen heard the word "brothel", she couldn't help but smile, "Okay, brothel. It's under my control. It's really..."

But he soon realized that they were here to raise food, so why build a brothel? So he asked, "A brothel? Aren't we?"

"It's just a transfer station. You don't have to worry about where we send it. We build a brothel just to hide it from others!"

"That's right..." Li Yizhen nodded in agreement.

Then Zhao named Jiang Qianhu and said, "Lao Jiang, take our people to check the official warehouse information of the prefectures along the river and canal. The more detailed the better. At the same time, mark the state capitals on the map. The route closest to the waterway is of great use to me!”

"Okay." Jiang Qianhu nodded thoughtfully. Taking the water route was indeed a good choice.

After thinking about it, Zhao added, "Focus on Chuzhou and Bianzhou. We need to understand these two thoroughly, even if there are a few rats in the official warehouse, we need to find out clearly!"

Jiang Qianhu nodded seriously, "I understand."

The three of them looked at each other, raised their eyebrows to indicate to each other, and stopped talking.

Seeing that he had not been mentioned for a long time, Suzaku was a little confused. He pulled Zhao's sleeves and asked, "What about me? What about me? What should I do?"

Zhao glanced at her and said quietly.

"Still thinking..."
