    Chen Wenru naturally noticed this attitude, so he restrained himself, and then passed through the simple courtyard and walked towards the study on the east side.

    There are also people guarding the door of the study.

    One is Dong'er, the little servant who waited by Sheng Hong's side, and the other two are holding a knife and holding a sword, all of them are cold-faced killing gods.

    Before he got close, those two sharp eyes had already shot over, and Chen Wenru was so terrified that he couldn't even utter a word.

    Fortunately, the little servant Dong'er recognized him, and he was quite clever. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly said to the two: "Two eldest brothers, this is our master's accountant."

    The two of them weren't actually vicious, but their eyes were cold, and they didn't seem to like Chen Wenru very much.

    But since Dong'er said it, they didn't doubt it.

    In other words, he didn't think that Chen Wenru, such a coward, could make trouble.

    So the sword-wielding man only glanced at him, then turned around and tapped the door frame three times.

    There was a laughing voice from inside, but it was very polite and polite: "When someone comes, please come in. After all, it is also a guest of Boss Sheng, so don't neglect it."

    Baojian's expression was hesitant, and he seemed to disagree with what the man inside said, but he seemed to have to listen. He stretched out his hand to open the door for Chen Wenru.

    Chen Wenru is the most observant.

    This time, he stepped forward wisely and rushed before the young man holding the sword pushed the door for him. He pushed the door open by himself, with a smirk on his face: "Come on, come on, come on, it's okay."

    The young man holding the sword gave him a straight look.

    But that's about it.

    Seeing that he had opened the door by himself, he also stepped back to the side, standing with the young man with the knife, and became a murderous, motionless door god again.

    Chen Wenru breathed a sigh of relief.

    He opened the door, walked in tremblingly, went around the screen in front, swept quickly, and saw only two people sitting in the room.

    The first one was a middle-aged man in his forties, and the first one was a scribe in blue shirt in his thirties.

    He recognized both of them.

    The next one is naturally his boss, Sheng Hong, the boss of Nansheng Longchang.

    The blue-shirted scribe at the top is the big man who has been dealing with his boss all these years.

    So after just one look, Chen Wenru didn't dare to look at it again. When he entered the room, he knelt on the ground like his ancestors and kowtowed: "I'll meet Mr. Cai and ask you to be safe."

    Chapter 118

    "Madam, my subordinates have already sent people out to inquire as you ordered."

    After returning to the inn, He Xing made arrangements according to what Lu Jinxi had said before, and came up again to report to her.

    At this time, she was sitting upstairs by the window, opening the window a narrow slit. So the sky light was squeezed into a narrow gap, and it came in from the outside and reflected in her eyes.

    There were people coming and going outside, and the noisy voices also came in.

    Hearing He Xing's voice, she didn't look back, just frowned and thought.

    He Xing didn't rush, just stood there.

    After a while, Lu Jinxi said: "Before I left the capital, I had already sent someone to Baoding and Shengxuan to meet. Although there is a dispute between the north and the south of Shenglongchang, it was beyond our expectation. It’s better to get things done as soon as possible.”

    After all, she's not a real businessman.

    This time, Sheng Xuan may have prepared enough time, but Lu Jinxi is in the eyes of others at this moment, I am afraid that he is still lighting incense in the Zen temple.

    After procrastinating in Baoding for a long time, going back too late will inevitably lead to some unnecessary incidents.

    Lu Jinxi is not afraid of trouble, but trouble can be avoided if it can be avoided.

    She slowly withdrew her gaze from the street, got up directly, let Qingque serve the pen and ink, wrote a simple letter with the pen, and then sealed it and handed it to He Xing.

    "I have to ask you to make a trip in person and hand over this letter to Second Master Sheng, which means that you will meet him tomorrow."

    This was far beyond He Xing's expectations.

    He took the letter, but he frowned subconsciously, and said hesitantly, "Madam, there is a commotion in Shenglongchang in the north and south, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future. You haven't waited to find out about this matter, I decided to meet with the other party first, and if we talk about it and then change again, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?”

    "Don't I believe in your eldest son?"

    Lu Jinxi laughed and said half-truth.

    "Sheng Longchang is not a small matter, but it is not a big deal. I still believe in the way your son sees people. It is related to his political achievements, so he will not dare to pit me. You just don't care. Send the letter, it's not your fault if something goes wrong. Don't worry."

    Can't blame him?

    What is he worried about?

    He Xing had already slandered a couple of words when he heard Lu Jinxi's completely unimportant remarks, but after thinking about it, he felt that her remarks were mostly meant as a joke, with a little deep meaning hidden in them.

    After all, he was a smart person who was mixed up with his eldest son. He thought about it for a while just now. How can he make this decision without any consideration of interests?

    It's just that although He Xing is not stupid, he is not at the point where he can guess people's hearts at will.

    So he didn't think about it at all, obeyed obediently, and sent the letter.

    That day, when Lu Jinxi woke up, it was already noon, and it took some time to go out for a walk, so it was afternoon. She thought that something went wrong with Sheng Longchang, and she was afraid that it would be inappropriate to have an appointment today, so she decided to make it tomorrow.

    After He walked, she was not idle.

    When she came, she had prepared some things, and now she asked Qingque to pick it up from the box, and after thinking for a while, she edited a little on it.

    After half an hour, He Xing came back, saying that the letter had been delivered and that he would be on time for the appointment tomorrow.

    Lu Jinxi asked, "How do you feel when you see Sheng Xuan?"

    He Xing was stunned, and after thinking about it for a while, he replied, "My subordinate Jirai is not someone who knows how to look at people. I just think that this second Master Sheng looks like a very kind person. When I arrived, he was talking to him. The shopkeepers of Sheng Longchang sat together, as if they were upset about that afternoon."

    Is it kind?

    This is in line with the previous rumors.

    This second Master Sheng should be 33 or 4 years old this year. He is five years younger than his elder brother Sheng Hong. It is said that he liked reading poetry and books when he was young. .

    Of course, the opportunity was also that family change.

    From this point of view, it is hard to say why Gu Juefei has a high evaluation of this person; but if this person is willing to get to know Gu Juefei and give him face, it can be easily explained.

    Lu Jinxi thought about it carefully, knowing that He Xing said that he didn't know how to look at people should be the truth, so he didn't ask any more, just said: "Yes. Tomorrow morning, make an appointment at Haoyue Building on the opposite street, you can first Take someone there to get acquainted, just in case."

    "Yes."

    Even if she didn't say it, He Xing was planning to ask.

    After all, Gu Juefei made a message and put Lu Jinxi's safety in his hands, and in Baoding, it was considered unfamiliar, so to meet someone who didn't know much about the basics, they always had to step on the ground first.

    So after taking the order, He Xing went to work again.

    As for the people who sent people to Nansheng Longchang and his boss Sheng Hong, and his accountant Chen Wenru, they didn't come back until it was dark.

    And brought back a strange news.

    "Subordinate, follow, follow and lose..."

    The person who went to do this errand was a young man in his twenties. He was tall and thin, and he was very strong. When he looked at people with his eyes, there was a sense of wit.

    But at this time, there was a somewhat rare look on his face, and his voice was low.

    After a few days, Lu Jinxi already remembered the names of He Xing and his team, and recognized this young man. He knew that his name was Yin Ping, and he was the most alert and sensitive person in their team.
