Chapter 428: 29
311 Sun Tiechui was immediately furious: "What do you mean? I, Old Sun, never play tricks when doing things. I will make the spear for you if I say so. Just come and pick it up in five days."
Chen Jie laughed after hearing this and said, "Haha, thank you very much."
As they were talking, a pretty lady in black came over with a pot of tea in her hand and said with a smile, "Master Chen has been fighting with my sister for a long time. You must be thirsty. Have a cup of tea to quench your thirst."
Chen Jie looked at the tea brought over by the pretty lady in black and said with a smile: "Miss Hongyan is so attentive, I'm afraid there is drug in the tea, right?"
"How could this happen?"
The pretty lady in black froze, and then immediately spoke. Chen Jie laughed and said, "Why not? Miss Hongyan is eccentric, I dare not bet, I won't drink the tea you offer me."
The pretty girl in black changed her expression when she heard this. She slammed the cup in her hand down on the table and said angrily, "Humph, drink it or not!"
Seeing this, Chen Jie said, "Haha, Miss Hongyan, are you angry because of shame?"
The pretty lady said, "You can say whatever you want. Come on, you said you wanted to talk, right? Let's talk!"
Chen Jie said at this time: "There is no rush to talk about business, let's chat first. Now I am more curious about you and this girl. Are you twins?"
The pretty girl in black looked at Chen Jie and said, "Why do you like us sisters?"
Chen Jie smiled and said, "A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman."
"Humph, the moment I saw you, I knew you were a pervert. You obviously have a lovely wife at home, yet you come out and tease us two sisters. You men are all bad!"
The pretty girl in black said angrily.
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Young lady Hongyan, when Goddess Nuwa created humans, she designed men and women for the purpose of being together, so it is natural for men to like women."
"If there is a man standing there who is not moved by a beautiful woman, you should be careful. This man is either a hypocrite or a real eunuch. I am a normal man. When I see a beautiful woman, I naturally feel admiration for her. This is the way of heaven!"
After hearing this, the pretty girl in black said, "You are full of big truths. You are going to take the top spot in the exam!"
Chen Jie shrugged and said, "It's a pity that Daqian's path to the imperial examination is blocked."
Hearing this, the pretty girl in black said, "You are indeed an incorrigible traitor. You are going to be a dog if you want to take the exam for the top scholar."
Chen Jie: "Miss, you are really good at wrongly accusing people."
The pretty girl in black asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Chen Jie said: "Of course, I am a Han Chinese with a strong character. How can I always be a dog for the Mulan people? This is just a temporary measure."
"Huh? I didn't expect such words to come out of your mouth."
Chen Jie looked at the pretty girl in black and said, "Do you think I'm a bad person?"
"Good guys and bad guys are not written on their faces, who knows? I only know who is doing good things and who is doing bad things. What about you?"
The pretty girl in black thought about it and was not very favorable. In fact, Chen Jie was considered good. The people in Mianshui County lived the best, and those living in the sphere of influence of the White Tiger Hall.
But you say Chen Jiusi is a good man. This guy helps the people of Mulan and gets to the top with the help of Darughachi. He is a complete Mulan dog and a traitor!
So this person really doesn't have a very good reputation.
Chen Jie looked at the pretty girl and laughed, "Why, it's hard to judge me?"
The pretty girl in black said, "Yeah."
Chen Jie said, "Come, let me analyze it for you. This person does things based on deeds rather than heart. If you look at the heart, there is no good person in the world. Take you for example, you are a Zoroastrian, and your mission is to save the Han people in the world and overthrow the tyranny!"
"But your Yihonglou is actually engaged in the flesh trade. Of course, you can say that you are a high-end flesh trade, but it is still a flesh trade, and you buy girls bought by human traffickers, and you don't allow people to redeem them. Do you think you are good people?"
"There are secrets in my Yihonglou. How can I just let someone redeem me so easily? If so, what about the spies who have infiltrated the imperial court?"
The pretty girl in black immediately explained.
"But it also hurt a lot of people, didn't it?"
Chen Jie didn't allow her to quibble.
The pretty girl in black was silent. Chen Jie said, "It's the same reason. I, Chen Jiusi, started from humble beginnings. Thanks to my adoptive father Peng Shizhong, I was brought to Mianshui County. I have been walking on thin ice all the way and have climbed to this position now."
"However, I was framed by my eldest brother, and Nan Batian also targeted me. I was almost in a desperate situation. Who can I turn to at this time? I can only rely on the power of Mulan people. Otherwise, I can't take revenge, and I might even implicate my family."
"Let's put ourselves in my shoes. If you were me, what would you do if you were in that situation?"
"Yes, you are right. I, Chen Jiusi, am where I am today thanks to the efforts of the Mulan people. But I disagree with you saying that I am a traitor. You are really going too far by saying that I am a dog traitor!"
Chen Jie looked at the three people and spoke slowly. For a moment, the three of them were silent.
After a long while, the pretty lady in white who had been standing there without saying anything said, "What's the difference between a traitor and a dog traitor?"
Chen Jie said: "Of course there is a difference. The traitor seems to have a higher status. This dog traitor obviously has no respect for people!"
The pretty girl in white had a dumbfounded look on her face, not understanding.
The pretty girl in black knocked on the table after hearing this: Dongdong~
"You still have a point?"
Chen Jie said, "Of course I am polite. I, Chen Jiusi, have a clear conscience in everything I do. I would like to ask you, during my time in office, has any of the people under my White Tiger Hall's rule lived a worse life than before? Has any of them been oppressed by my White Tiger Hall?"
"Ask yourself, are they living better than before? I don't know what your Zoroastrianism is like, let alone what Daqian is like. I only know that I will help whoever can bring a better life to the Han people."
"So, do you think I'm a bad guy or a good guy?"
The three black-clad beauties were stunned when they heard this, and then they all said, "You are a weirdo!"
Chen Jie asked: "Strange? What's strange about it?"
The three of them said in unison: "I can't really put it into words. It's weird anyway. I can't say it's good, nor can I say it's bad. I feel like you don't have a stance."
Chen Jie said: "Maybe, I am the only one who cares about the lives of the common people. Since ancient times, the emperors have taken turns to sit on the throne. In the end, the people suffer when the prosperity is prosperous and the people suffer when the decline is severe."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me introduce myself to you again. I am Chen Jie, also known as Jiu Si, the White Tiger Hall Master of the Fishermen's Gang. May I ask your names, young ladies?"
The pretty girl in black said, "Han He!"
Pretty lady in white: "Han Lian."
"I am Sun Tiechui..."
"I didn't ask you that..."
Chen Jie said ruthlessly, Sun Tiechui glared at Chen Jie and said, "You only flirt with girls, right?"
Next, Chen Jie had a brief acquaintance with these two pretty ladies.
The pretty beauty in black is named Han He, she is the elder sister. The pretty beauty in white is named Han Lian, she is the younger sister. It was Han Lian who went to the woods to assassinate Liu Song that day. The one who is the owner of Yihong Tower and is good at socializing is the elder sister Han He.
The elder sister is as bright as fire, while the younger sister is as silent as ice.
The elder sister is good at socializing and is very charming, while the younger sister only knows how to practice, is a bit taciturn, and a bit cute.
The highest-ranking official here is the elder sister Han He.
She is a direct disciple of Han Miaozhen, the Phoenix, one of the four great Dharma Kings of Zoroastrianism, and her sister Han Lian is also a disciple.
As for Sun Tiechui, he is the branch leader of Mianshui County.
However, Han He and her companions were considered to be specially dispatched envoys, and even though she was a disciple of Han Miaozhen, one of the Four Dharma Kings, her status was much higher than that of a county leader.
Therefore, the subsequent negotiations were mainly led by the elder sister, Han He. The younger sister was not good at talking, and Sun Tiechui was a subordinate.
But Chen Jie likes his sister very much.
It's obvious at first glance that this girl is too well protected, has little experience in dealing with the world, and looks cold, but in fact she has never seen the world. She is the type that can be easily abducted, and this girl is also a bit naive.
The most interesting thing is that she looks exactly like her sister. Chen Jie has had several contacts with the pretty girl Han He, so he knows this person very well. But now here comes someone like Han Lian. The contrast makes Chen Jie take a second look.
Boom boom boom…
Han He tapped the table and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Hey, take your eyes off my sister."
Chen Jie came back to his senses after hearing this. Han Lian was a little socially anxious. Her face turned red and she was a little at a loss. Without killing anyone, she didn't know how to get along with strangers.
Chen Jie came back to his senses and said, "Haha, Miss Ah He, please don't misunderstand me. I just felt that Miss Ah Lian was too different from the assassin in the woods that day, so I felt strange. I didn't have any improper thoughts."
"Humph, you'd better not have any unreasonable thoughts, otherwise I won't forgive you!"
Han He glared at Chen Jie, then said to Han Lian, "You are not allowed to see him alone in the future, understand?"
"Oh~ ok sister."
Han Lian was stunned and answered immediately.
Chen Jie said: "Well, Ah He, Ah Lian, twin lotus flowers, that's a good name."
Han He heard this and said, "Hey, don't call me so affectionately. We are still enemies now."
Chen Jie said: "Haha, Miss Ah He is right. Okay, we have talked about personal matters enough, let's talk about business."
Han He said, "Well, it's time to talk about business."
After that, Han He said, "Chen Jiusi, how are you going to solve the previous issues?"
Chen Jie said: "We didn't have any conflicts in the first place. How about we write off the past?"
Han He said, "Well, that's good. It's a deal. Let's write it off. In that case, I'd like to make a deal with you."
"Buy?"
Chen Jie was stunned, squinting his eyes and asked, "What business?"
Han He said: "As you can see, we have a batch of military equipment here that needs to be transported out of the city."
Chen Jie said: "Well, then you are lucky?"
Han He said, "It's useless. My transportation channel has been cut off by the Mulan people. In addition, the Mulan people have arranged many people to check at the city gate. We can't transport these things out at all."
"And the most important thing is that we have to transport it to the North immediately. We don't have any ships. Also, about two-thirds of our weapons have not been manufactured yet. It will take a few more days."
After hearing this, Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "So you want me to help you transport this batch of weapons out of the city?"
Han He said: "That's right!"
Chen Jie frowned and said, "This is a huge risk. If I am found out by helping you Zoroastrians transport military equipment, I will be considered to be secretly communicating with the Zoroastrians and plotting a rebellion. The Darughachi government will definitely spare no effort to wipe me out!"
"Especially recently the imperial court is going to send an inspector down here. It's a time of great pressure. If I'm not careful, I'll really lose everything. My whole family will be hurt. This risk is too great!"
Chen Jie looked embarrassed. This man was secretly communicating with Zoroastrianism and intending to rebel. If he was caught, he would be finished!
Han He frowned upon hearing that, Han Lian pouted, and Sun Tiechui also looked worried. The only solution they could think of now was Chen Jiusi. If Chen Jiusi didn't agree, they would be really helpless. Should they really give up this plan?
But what about the soldiers in the north? They need weapons.
The three were worried, and at this moment Chen Jie suddenly said: "Actually, it's not impossible to do this, but you have to agree to one condition of mine!"
