Chapter 122: Jiang Ronghua's obsession
"Brother Ruo, I know that you have always been resourceful, please show me the way!"
After some greetings, Jiang Ronghua looked at Lin Haoran and asked him for advice seriously.
After so many contacts, especially in dealing with the tiger girl's gambling contract, he saw Lin Haoran's cunning and wise side. If anyone can convince him, it is undoubtedly this former nerd, a strange person who resolved Jiang Yuebai's nirvana.
The other two also turned their heads and looked at Lin Haoran together, also full of trust.
Lin Haoran picked up the teacup, gently tossed the tea with the tea lid a few times, and then looked up at him and asked seriously, "Why are you so sure that your father is not dead?" ”
"Intuition!" Jiang Ronghua looked at him firmly and said categorically.
Gu Qingfeng and Zhao Dongcheng glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Judging from the information available so far, Jiang Ronghua's father is undoubtedly dead, or killed by pirates, or died in the fire. But Jiang Ronghua only relied on his instincts, and he still fantasized that his father was not dead.
"Do you think the encounter with the pirates was a conspiracy or an accident?" Lin Haoran naturally thought that Jiang Ronghua's father was dead, but looking at his appearance, he followed his train of thought and asked.
"It should have been an accident!" Jiang Ronghua shook his head with a wry smile. After all, his father was only a small businessman, and even if they wanted to target him, they didn't have to make such a stir.
"Then why have you been looking for so long, and no pirates have contacted you to ask for a ransom to ransom the people back?" Lin Haoran took a sip of strong tea and asked him again.
In fact, this question still wants to help Jiang Ronghua dispel that illusion. If Jiang Ronghua's father was not killed, but taken captive, then the pirates would undoubtedly have to ask for a ransom.
"Actually, there have been several waves of people who have come to my young master, but ......" The housekeeper stood next to him to help answer, but suddenly stopped talking and looked at Jiang Ronghua awkwardly.
"Giving money and not letting people go? Or is it that there is no one to hand over at all? Lin Haoran held the teacup and looked at Jiang Ronghua calmly.
"Only two waves were given!" Jiang Ronghua's face was a little unbearable.
Lin Haoran shook his head helplessly, Jiang Ronghua, who was eager to save his father, instead attracted the greedy. However, I am afraid that the wave of pirates did not take the initiative to contact Jiang Ronghua, otherwise if he took something from Jiang Ronghua's father, Jiang Ronghua would definitely pay the money obediently.
"If you're sure your father isn't dead, he's undoubtedly locked up, but you have to understand that pirates can't keep idlers either!" Lin Haoran gently splashed the tea with the tea lid and said again.
"So what?" Jiang Ronghua looked at him with a solemn face.
"I'm afraid there will only be three!" Lin Haoran took a sip of strong tea, raised his eyes to look at him and continued: "First, they got the news and took the initiative to contact you for ransom; The second is that they treat your father like a laborer; The third is ...... Your father became one of them. ”
"Thank you!" After Jiang Ronghua heard this, he thanked him seriously, which undoubtedly helped him clarify his thinking.
"Those pirates are just asking for money, in fact, if you release the news, they are afraid that they will come to the door on their own initiative! If you want to be more proactive, you can use the money to get some pirates and find out from them. Lin Haoran hesitated for a moment, and then suggested.
"Don't hide it from a fool! I discussed with my mother that I would sell Qingfeng Restaurant and go to Suixi County, Leizhou Prefecture! Jiang Ronghua arched his hand and said his next plan.
"Brother Jiang, never!" As soon as the words fell, Gu Qingfeng immediately said in surprise.
If there is a place where pirates are most rampant in western Guangdong, it is undoubtedly the Leizhou Mansion, especially after the Ming Dynasty's defense focus shifted to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, these pirates have recently simply ignored the official government, and sometimes there is news of burning and plundering.
Donghai Island was originally a large island under the rule of Suixi County, the capital of Leizhou, but now it is occupied by pirates, and the adjacent Jinzhou Island is the nest of the pirate gang Tricolor.
In contrast, Electric White City is undoubtedly the safest, although the Divine Electric Guard is weak now, but it has the power to defend the city, no matter how rampant those pirates are, they dare not come here to burn and plunder.
Lin Haoran also wanted to persuade, but he also knew. If Jiang Ronghua's father had not died, going to that kind of place to listen to information would indeed be the most credible and widely sourced.
"I'm just going to Suixi County to open a restaurant to do some business, but I'm not going to the pirate's lair, I'm afraid you're thinking too much!" Jiang Ronghua looked at the nervous appearance of the three of them and smiled indifferently.
The three of them are all wise people, how can they not know that Jiang Ronghua has plans to take risks. It's just that seeing that he has made up his mind, and there is no news after waiting for more than a month, the best choice is indeed to enter the land of the tiger's den to inquire about the news, but it is not easy to persuade him again.
Jiang Ronghua invited three people to a banquet at home, but the wine and food were sent from Qingfeng Restaurant, which was also homemade.
At the banquet, Jiang Ronghua deliberately diverted the question and took the initiative to ask about Lin Haoran's recent situation.
When he learned from Gu Qingfeng's mouth that the soap had received a large order of 10,000 taels, he was also extremely shocked. But thinking about the effect of that soap, I found that it was reasonable.
Lin Haoran was eating crabs, raising a crab leg, and opened the conversation. He also proudly talked about the fact that the Mingyue Bridge in Jiangfu was burned and a batch of illegal salt was robbed.
Although he didn't name who did it, the three of them were not stupid, and naturally guessed the culprit. However, the reactions of the three of them were different, Gu Qingfeng and Zhao Dongcheng admired or admired each other, but Jiang Ronghua secretly raised his middle finger, but he didn't mean to blame Lin Haoran.
The three of them all like the smart and clever tiger girl, and they heard that the Jiang Mansion actually used that kind of means to deal with the tiger girl, but no one felt that Lin Haoran's counterattack was too much.
After eating, the three of them said goodbye and left.
It's just that after coming out of Jiang Ronghua's house, they were all embarrassed. If there is no accident, Jiang Ronghua will definitely be admitted to the student at this time, and he will go to Guangzhou Mansion with the two of them for reference, and maybe he will also be admitted to the exam.
Gu Qingfeng has the deepest friendship with Jiang Ronghua, and he also knows the depth of this talent's learning, and he is definitely capable of taking the test.
It was precisely like this, he felt that Jiang Ronghua was very unwise, and when he heard the news, he could have taken the hospital examination first and then come back, at least he could mix the fame of a student first, unlike now when he can't get anything.
Lin Haoran also sighed, but he saw the dedication of people in this era to filial piety. It is said that most people are afraid of crying bitterly, and then inherit the family business and live a free life, but he chose the most difficult path.
It's just that the itinerary didn't allow him to delay too much, so he only stayed in Dianbai City for two days, and then set off for Guangzhou Mansion.
