Gu Zheng and his party changed their identities and settled down in Jiangzhou.

Back to the temporary resting place, there is already a doctor waiting.

There were not many wounds on Gu Zheng's body, and it was quickly healed. The doctor carefully checked the pulse, and after admonishing some precautions, he went under the leadership of the dark guard to get the medicine.

Gu Zheng lay on the bed, wondering in his heart, the doctor didn't mention a word about poisoning, did he deliberately hide it or didn't notice it? No, it doesn't look like he's hiding something from his expression. That kind of poison is not common, but it does great damage to the body, so there is no situation where it can't be detected. If it is neither, then there is only one possibility: the toxins in his body disappeared for no reason.

He can be sure about the poisoning, the doctor didn't mention it, and he can't feel the heavy feeling after being poisoned. There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, before he noticed it, someone had already poisoned him. Solved.

There is only one person who has this opportunity, the mermaid I saw by the cold spring of the Jiang family.

Will it be him?

Thinking of the gorgeous silver fish tail in the moonlight and the bright eyes, the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised a gentle arc.

Whether it was him or not, Gu Zheng wanted to go see him again, ask his name, whether he was used to living there, whether anyone was bullying him, if possible, he wanted to take him away, he wanted...

Take care of him personally.

——Jiang

Mo doesn't know that there is someone who wants to take care of himself in the form of a mermaid. He is now in the study room checking the books handed in by several stewards.

Jiang Mo himself is not very good at these things. The numbers in these books are huge. Fortunately, there is a system. This kind of number-based problem is a piece of cake for the system.

The system scans the ledger once, and the problematic places will be listed one by one. Jiang Mo can directly look at these problematic places, which is much faster than turning over the ledger by himself.

While silently applauding the system's abilities in his heart, Jiang Mo picked up the cakes on the table and took a bite, um, delicious.

The pastries were sent by the restaurant "Pinxiangju" under the Jiang family, and they are new products for the next season. The pastries are sweet and refreshing in color like the moonlight. Shaped like a full pearl, the skin is thin and the filling is tender, delicious and not greasy.

Speaking of "Pinxiangju", Jiang Mo picked up the ledger at hand. Among these problematic ledgers, "Pinxiangju" was included.

The steward of "Pinxiangju" is an old man who has worked hard with the original owner's father. Logically speaking, such a situation should not occur.

Jiang Mo decided to go to "Pinxiangju" to have a look.

The steward of "Pinxiangju" is surnamed Yang. He is different from the other seven stewards. Those stewards manage multiple businesses, large and small. This steward only manages "Pinxiangju".

"Pinxiangju" is the largest in the Jiang family's industry. It has branches from the capital to the northwest where war often occurs.

"Ah! Yes, I'm sorry!"

As soon as Jiang Mo walked in the door, he was hit by a shop assistant in a gray coat, and the soup was sprinkled all over his body.

Jiang Mo hadn't moved yet, but the boy who was beside him immediately stepped forward and said sharply,

"Why are you so careless, what would you do if you hurt our son?"

"I, I didn't mean to..."

The man lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly.

Their location is close to the gate, and after a few words, many people have come to see them.

Jiang Mo had a lot of soup on his body, it was sticky and uncomfortable. He looked at the servant standing in front of him, his eyes were a little bad: This servant is from Jiang Hanyu, who originally designed the original owner to leave the Jiang family, but he contributed a lot. .

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this kid is new and clumsy. I'll make an apology to Young Master Jiang on his behalf. Your lord has a lot, so don't bother with him."

The riot at the door quickly caught the shopkeeper's attention, and before anyone else arrived, I would have to pay first.

When he came to the front, the shopkeeper blocked the second half of the shopkeeper behind him and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Jiang, please, a private room has been prepared for you upstairs, and all your consumption today will be covered by this shop. Ji Xin has made a few cakes, they taste good, I will come up one by one later, I hope you like it."

Jiang Mo felt uncomfortable, didn't want to stay here, nodded and started to walk to the second floor.

Some servants go to the carriage to pick up clean clothes. In a big family like the Jiang family, the owner will bring two sets of clothes for spare when he is out of the house, whether he will stay overnight or not. No, it's used now.

Jiang Mo and the shopkeeper went to the private room upstairs. Before entering the door, he turned his head and glanced, the shop assistant was no longer there. He glanced around and asked nonchalantly, "Why is the shopkeeper protecting a shop assistant like this today?"

"What did the young master say ?" After asking casually, he continued: "This person was brought back by Boss Yang from the northwest a year ago, saying that he had saved his life for Manager Yang. When he came, he was injured all over his body, and now he is not in good shape.

" Is that right? Director Yang went to the Northwest a year ago?" The

shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, but Jiang Mo was their real boss now, so he couldn't hide it, and replied, "This... I have indeed been there, and he said he was going to solve it. Some personal grievances."

Jiang Mo nodded and didn't ask any more questions. At this time, the servant came back after taking the clothes. The shopkeeper handed his farewell. Jiang Mo took the clothes and signaled that the servant did not need to follow and walked into the room.

The world news that Jiang Mo can get is limited. There is only a general outline. It is like reading a book. He only knows what is recorded in the book, and he does not know some details.

For example, he knew that it was the second prince who finally ascended the throne, but he didn't know the specific process of the second prince's ascension. He knew that the death of the original owner's parents was related to Jiang Jing, but he didn't know how Jiang Jing moved his hand. Jiang Mo had no idea about going to the Northwest a year ago. All these details need to be checked by him.

The shopkeeper was very fast, and the dishes came out in no time. As the shopkeeper said, there are many new products. Jiang Mo is not the kind of person who is very hungry, but he will not criticize himself if he has the ability.

Delicious food can make people feel happy. Jiang Mo has always believed in this sentence. No, even if he met the protagonist, Jiang Mo rarely maintained a happy mood.

After learning that Mr. Yang was not in Jiangzhou, Jiang Mo was about to leave after eating, and before he walked out of the door of "Pinxiangju", he saw Jiang Hanyu and his party coming here.

Jiang Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man walking by Jiang Hanyu's side. The man was wearing a black long gown. He was tall and handsome. He was very handsome, but...

Jiang Mo raised his hand and touched his chin. This man is not The other person was the third prince, Gu Zheng, who had seen the form of a mermaid.

Why didn't he go back to the capital? Still with Jiang Hanyu?

After counting the days, Jiang Hanyu was about to leave for the capital, and Manager Yang also went to the capital to deal with matters related to "Pinxiangju".

A year ago, Steward Yang left Jiangzhou and went to the Northwest in secret. This coincides with the day when the original owner's father died, and the secret ledger he made. So, is the original owner's father's death related to him?

"Little Mo?"

Seeing the young man walking out of "Pinxiangju", Jiang Hanyu was stunned for a moment. He hadn't seen Jiang Mo for several days. In the past few days, he instructed his subordinates to cause Jiang Mo some minor troubles, all of which were resolved by him one by one. This person has grown from a small sapling to a towering tree in a place he didn't notice.

Jiang Mo greeted the other party in a friendly manner, and turned around to leave.

"Wait—"

Gu Zheng looked at the back of the other party's departure, and blurted out the words of retention.

Jiang Mo turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

It was only then that Gu Zheng realized that his behavior was inappropriate. He didn't know this person before, so he rashly opened his mouth because of a similar back. It was really Meng Lang.

Aware of the embarrassment at the moment, another person snorted: "Brother Jiang, who is this young master? Would you like to introduce me?" "Yes, Brother Jiang, when did you meet such a delicate

person?"

One is surnamed Chen and the other is Zhang, and the family has a lot of business. The two only came to Jiangzhou in the last year, and they didn't know Jiang Mo's identity. They always thought that Jiang Hanyu was Jiang He's real son, and they didn't know that there was another Jiang Mo in the Jiang family.

"Who am I?" Without waiting for Jiang Hanyu to speak, Jiang Mo jokingly said: "Brother, won't you introduce me?"

"Brother? Brother Jiang, when did you have a younger brother?"

"Since it is a younger brother, let's get together. Let's get together."

Jiang Hanyu never said that he had a younger brother, his original purpose was to make everyone forget Jiang Mo's existence, so that he could justifiably occupy the Jiang family's property.

What's more, these two people have been in Jiangzhou for less than a year, and they don't know that Jiang Hanyu is the adopted son of the Jiang family. They only think that Jiang Mo is the younger brother of Jiang Hanyu's concubine, and the relationship between the two is not very good.

"No, since my brother has something to do, I'll go back first." Jiang Mo refused, he was not interested in what Jiang Hanyu was going to do, and besides, there was a small fish that was about to be hooked.

Jiang Hanyu looked at Jiang Mo's retreating back with mixed feelings. This person has really changed a lot.

"What's his name?" Gu Zheng asked after Jiang Mo's figure disappeared completely.

Jiang Hanyu's contemplation was interrupted by Gu Zheng's sudden speech. Jiang Hanyu was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face, and replied, "His name is Jiang Mo."

Jiang Hanyu had never met the third prince, and only thought that Gu Zheng was a wealthy businessman from the north. I don't care much about him, if it wasn't for the fact that the other party was so generous, he wouldn't want to take him out to the banquet today.

Jiang Mo.

Gu Zheng repeated these two words in his heart, and he always felt that there was a kind of familiarity that he couldn't tell, but he looked back on his memory of more than 20 years and couldn't find a person named Jiang Mo. Who is he?

After leaving the sight of Jiang Hanyu and his group, Jiang Mo waved the servant back, walked to a deserted alley by

himself, and said, "Follow me all the way, come out."
