Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

In the lobby on the third floor.

Ma Zheng said with a worried look on his face, "Boss, that Miss Yan just now seems to have an important identity! Should we be more careful from now on?"

"Di Lin, go out quietly from the back door and follow her secretly. I want to see who this woman is." Gu Chan said, touching the white fox's head.

Di Lin nodded seriously, immediately stood up and quietly went downstairs, sneaked out from the back door, and secretly chased after Yan Li's carriage.

Gu Chan pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Come on, everyone, eat more, eat and drink enough and go to sleep well. Then you can rest for three days and have fun as much as you want. Come back here in the evening after three days and I will tell you what to do next."

"Yes, boss." Everyone in the caravan responded in unison.

Then everyone continued to eat. After they were full, everyone followed Gu Chan's instructions and went to their rooms on the fourth floor to rest.

Gu Chan took Ma Zheng and Yuan Jie back to her room and waited quietly.

More than an hour later.

Just when the three of them were getting a little impatient, the door was pushed open from the outside and Di Lin finally returned safely.

Walking to the table and sitting down, Di Lin said with a serious face, "Boss, it seems that you have offended a very important person this time!"

"How big of a deal?" Gu Chan asked with a smile.

"This Yan Li is the only daughter of Yan Xishan, the Chief Censor of Jiangnan. She is the eldest daughter of an official! Moreover, Yan Xishan is a second-rank official of the court and is stationed in Jiangnan. In other words, the entire Jiangnan area is under his jurisdiction. His official position is even higher than that of a third-rank imperial envoy like you." Qiulin explained.

Yuan Jie and Ma Zheng widened their eyes, too shocked to speak.

Who could have thought that they had just arrived in Jiangnan City and settled down, so they had the bad luck to run into the jewel in the crown of the Jiangnan Chief Censor's family!

Although Gu Chan didn't say anything particularly excessive just now, judging from the way Yan Li looked when she left, she might have really made a note of Gu Chan in her little notebook.

If she were to attack Gu Chan later, Gu Chan would probably be in a situation where she would be unable to move forward.

Gu Chan knew this very well. At this moment, she held her chin with both hands and leaned on the table, saying helplessly, "It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. Since I'm unlucky enough to run into it, there's nothing I can do. Sooner or later, I'll have to deal with Jiangnan's Chief Censor. I think it's a good thing to seize this opportunity and give him a warning."

"Boss, do you mean to deal with Yan Li?" Ma Zheng said in surprise.

"Nonsense, if she doesn't bother me, why should I deal with her? But as long as she dares to bother me, I will definitely teach her a lesson." Gu Chan said angrily.

Di Lin laughed strangely and said, "Boss, when I came up just now, I saw her two guards hiding downstairs, doing something filthy. I guess she sent them to stay and keep an eye on us!"

"I knew it earlier. Do I need you to tell me?" Gu Chan said nonchalantly.

Even if she had to deal with someone, she would have to deal with Yan Li. She had no interest in these two guards at all. If they wanted to follow her, let them do it.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan temporarily stopped dwelling on this issue and said, "You two should work hard tonight and go to the north of the city to contact Wei Xing and the others, and then let them continue to do their work. You don't have to meet me, just pretend that we don't know each other."

"Where are they in the north of the city?" Dilling asked.

"This is the carrier pigeon letter that Wei Xing sent me three days ago. Just take it and go to the address on it." Gu Chan took out a small piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Di Lin.

Di Lin nodded, said no more, immediately put the note away, and left with Yuan Jie.

After the two left, Ma Zhengcai said, "It's been a month since I last met Brother Xing and the others. I wonder how they are doing now."

"You see, they retreated to the north of the city. Doesn't that mean that after they came here early, things weren't going very smoothly? If things were going well, they would probably be near us now, instead of so far away in the north of the city." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

Ever since she received the pigeon message from Wei Xing three days ago, she knew that they must be having a hard time if they arrived early, otherwise they would not have hidden so far to the north of the city.

As for what exactly they had experienced, it was not mentioned in the letter sent by carrier pigeon, so she naturally didn't know now.

Ma Zheng said worriedly, "I hope Brother Xing and the others are safe and sound, and nothing will happen to them."

"Okay, why are you worrying about it? They are all better than you! Either go to bed now, or accompany me to the first floor to play again." Gu Chan said, changing the subject.

"Ah? Boss, do you want to go gambling?" Ma Zheng said in surprise.

He has followed Gu Chan for such a long time, but he has never seen her gamble. It is rare that she is so interested today, which naturally makes him feel a little strange.

Gu Chan laughed and said, "Gambling is not the purpose. The most important thing is to make a name for ourselves here. Take the box of banknotes that Yuan Baihua gave me before, and let's go and stir things up. Now that we are in Jiangnan, we should build up some momentum first."

"Oh! I understand. It means to make a name for yourself first so that it will be easier for you to act in the future." Ma Zheng said with sudden enlightenment.

Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction.

Ma Zheng did not ask any more questions. He quickly ran to get the small brocade box containing 50,000 taels of silver notes, and followed Gu Chan out of the room and went down to the first floor.

Because the white fox had just transformed and needed to rest to consolidate its strength, it stayed on the bed in the room to rest and did not go down with Gu Chan.

The two guards who were secretly following saw that Gu Chan and the other person did not bring Baihu with them after they went downstairs. They immediately sent one of them to quietly slip out of the gambling house and go to the Censorate to report to Yan Li.

The other person continued to stay in the gambling house and monitor secretly.

Gu Chan pretended that she knew nothing and ignored them at all. She just walked around the first floor with Ma Zheng in a swaggering manner.

Soon the two of them came to a dice table and sat down.

When the other people sitting at the table saw a child actually sitting down, they all looked at Gu Chan sideways.

Gu Chan pretended to be arrogant and said, "What are you looking at? I have plenty of money, Xiao Zhengzi, put the banknotes up."

"Yes, boss." Ma Zheng responded respectfully, and immediately placed the small brocade box in his arms on the table next to Gu Chan and opened it.

As soon as the small brocade box was opened, fifty thousand taels of silver bills instantly appeared.

Everyone at the table stared at the brocade box full of silver bills with shining eyes. What they were thinking at this moment was that this kid could easily take out tens of thousands of taels of silver bills, so there must be a lot of silver bills that he didn't take out!

It's rare to see a fat guy like this. If we don't seize the opportunity to kill him now, wouldn't we be at a great loss?
