Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 310 Fairy Jiang buys cool clothes

Lu Zhan's shout shocked Feng Nangong and Jiang Ningshuang to the point of being stunned.

Feng Nangong was not frightened by the money, but was shocked by the calmness and composure of Lu Zhan when he spoke in plain language.

Everyone knows that the Thief Saint never steals gold or silver, but Lu Zhan was so confident that he said that the Thief Saint stole five large boxes of gold bars from him. How could this guy lie without blushing?

Everyone in Fengnan Palace was dumbfounded.

Jiang Ningshuang was simply frightened by Lu Zhan's tone.

As expected of the man she liked, he was so arrogant and demanded five large boxes of gold bars right away.

How dare you say it!

She also wanted to deliberately blackmail Feng Nangong just now, but she didn't have such a big mouth... Jiang Ningshuang blinked and stood silently beside Lu Zhan. She felt that things like blackmailing people should be left to professionals.

Feng Nangong shook his fan: "Brother Lu, you..."

You are simply unreasonable.

If Feng Nangong is arrested and tortured for this reason, first of all, there is insufficient evidence. Even if he is arrested, torture cannot be abused to force a confession. As long as Feng Nangong doesn't say anything, nothing can be obtained.

Lu Zhan looked thoughtful and said sadly, "Indeed, maybe there really is a misunderstanding... How about this, you take me to see the Thief Saint. If he doesn't have my gold bars, it means I have wronged him. If he does, then the matter will be clear."

If the other party takes advantage of his trick and gives him false information, then the gain will outweigh the loss.

How is it? Not so good... Feng Nangong was a little unhappy. He felt that Lu Zhan treated him like a fool.

"What do you think of my suggestion?"

-

Thinking of this, Lu Zhan nodded: "Since Brother Feng is determined to help the Thief Saint pay the money, then I will accept it. Even if I catch the Thief Saint in the future, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Feng."

The Feng family is indeed rich and has no shortage of boxes of gold bars, but Feng Nangong cannot be a sucker. He may be rich, but he is not a fool.

But Feng Nangong's reaction was obviously wrong. Lu Zhan found it hard to believe that it had nothing to do with the Thief Saint.

Under the system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the power of the imperial family was beyond imagination.

Lu Zhan did not like this system, but the Demon Suppression Bureau’s reach was limited, and many times they were able to do what they wanted but not what they could do.

Jiang Ningshuang said suspiciously, "You have nothing to do with the Thief Saint, but you are still paying compensation for him and apologizing on his behalf?"

Lu Zhan said this simply because he wanted to meet the Thief Saint through him... The key point is how did he know where the Thief Saint was? He was the young master of Jianghu Pavilion, not the young master of Toudao Pavilion, so how could he know the Thief Saint?

Lu Zhan nodded: "It's a deal."

Jiang Ningshuang glanced at Lu Zhan, seemingly unable to tell whether Feng Nangong's words were true or false.

"Then I'm relieved." Feng Nangong breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you sign and seal with me, and you must keep your word. Even if you really want to make a big deal out of this, this matter has nothing to do with me... and I am indeed wronged!"

Besides, who knows whether Lu Zhan will give up after giving him these boxes of gold bars.

Lu Zhan smiled and said, "Whether I can keep him or not is my own business. Brother Feng said there is something hidden in this matter, and it seems to be closely related to the Thief Saint. Since I want to help the Thief Saint settle the matter, I have to show some sincerity."

"..."

Then it will be a good opportunity to catch the turtle in the jar.

He just doesn't want to go to the northwest to dig coal. Is there anything wrong with that?

In this case, it is better to accept the money and keep an eye on Feng Nangong's every move.

As Feng Nangong said, the Thief Saint never steals gold and silver, which shows that some people have set him up. Now that he is slandering the Thief Saint, the Thief Saint may really visit his house and steal the gold to clear himself.

He had been entangled with Lu Zhan for so long, just because he didn't want to be involved in this matter. Was he wrong? Was it easy for him? !

Thinking of this, Feng Nangong smiled and said, "Brother Lu, is there no room for negotiation on this matter? Even if I really give you five boxes of gold, I'm afraid Brother Lu won't be able to keep it. I heard that the Thief Saint will never give up a single grudge. If you tarnish his reputation outside, he will definitely be angry."

Secondly, Feng Nangong's family is large and powerful, and he has strong backing. Going to the yamen is probably the same as going home. Unless there is solid evidence, the yamen will not be able to be vague, otherwise they will just go through the process.

If Feng Nangong really has a connection with the Thief Saint, he would definitely find ways to contact the Thief Saint.

"I..." Feng Nangong was speechless for a moment, and said angrily: "I am afraid that you will make a big fuss and affect my reputation, so I want to spend money to avoid disaster!"

"According to what you said, you just don't want to have anything to do with this matter. What if we take your money and continue the investigation?" Jiang Ningshuang didn't believe Feng Nangong was so kind.

He originally wanted to use the bewitching technique to ask Feng Nangong, but considering that Feng Nangong was a disciple of a noble family, he must have a lot of treasures on him, and spells like the bewitching technique might be useless to him.

To take a step back, even if Feng Nangong had nothing to do with the Thief Saint, he just didn't want to affect the reputation of Jianghu Pavilion, so he spent money to avoid disaster, but this money was made in the name of the Thief Saint.

Feng Nangong grew up in Jianghu Pavilion since he was a child. Although he likes to play around, it doesn't mean he is stupid.

Feng Nangong's eyes widened immediately: "When did I say that I have a good relationship with the Thief Saint? I said that there is a hidden story in this matter, but this hidden story is my hidden story, not the Thief Saint's hidden story. I just don't want to make a big deal about this matter. What if the world misunderstands and affects the reputation of our Jianghu Pavilion?"

Feng Nangong just didn't want to make a big deal out of it, fearing that it would affect the reputation of Jianghu Pavilion, but that didn't mean he wanted to be a victim.

"I just bought Elder Xiu Yu's bellyband out of curiosity... Also... I heard that the Thief Saint will never let go of a single grievance. If you use his name to make money, he will definitely come after you. There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Lord Lu, be careful."

I bought Elder Xiu Yu's bellyband out of pure curiosity. Why not spend some money to have fun? Who knows what will happen to this kind of thing?

But he didn't dare to say this. If he told Lu Zhan about this, he was afraid that Lu Zhan would go to Lao Deng to verify it, and then he, Young Master Feng, would be sent to the northwest to dig coal.

Feng Nangong spread his hands: "You guys can investigate... Just don't involve me."

Lu Zhan couldn't judge either. He had just arrived and had no idea about the current situation in Bian Jing, nor did he understand these children from aristocratic families.

The northwest of the Great Zhou is a bitterly cold place, and anyone who has been there will know.

"Everyone knows that the Thief King does not steal gold and silver. Strictly speaking, the Thief King also pays great attention to his reputation. Brother Lu, is there any misunderstanding here?" Feng Nangong did not believe Lu Zhan's nonsense at all and tried to fight for his own interests.

Afterwards, Lu Zhan reached an agreement with Feng Nangong and signed his own name: 阝击车瑾.

He came with nothing and left with a fortune.

Lu Zhan and Jiang Ningshuang walked out of Liuyunfang.

Jiang Ningshuang kicked the snow on the roadside and said, "Guanqi, are we just going to let this matter go?"

Lu Zhan did not answer but asked: "What do you think if we arrest Feng Nangong and interrogate him?"

Jiang Ningshuang pondered for a long time and said, "Jianghu Pavilion and the Feng family must have tried their best to protect Feng Nangong. There is no absolute evidence in this matter. As long as Feng Nangong finds a few excuses, the government will not be able to do anything to him. We can't force him to confess without saying anything."

"So I took the money and kept an eye on Feng Nangong." Lu Zhan stroked his spirit ring: "Besides... the Thief Saint has been famous for many years and has never stolen gold or silver. Now I have used his name to deceive... no, I have collected five boxes of gold bars. He will never swallow his anger."

Jiang Ningshuang was puzzled: "In such a dangerous situation, will the Thief Saint really come?"

"For some people, this is not called danger, but excitement." Lu Zhan had heard some rumors about the Thief Saint.

Many times, the thief would even inform the owner of the house in advance before stealing.

Then, surrounded by layers of enemies in the host's house, the thief stole things as easily as taking something from a bag.

What an arrogant method this is?

This kind of person cannot be judged with normal thinking.

Jiang Ningshuang nodded as if she understood: "Guanqi, do you think Feng Nangong is really related to the Thief Saint? Why do I feel that he is just a simple person with a lot of money?"

Lu Zhan pondered: "That shouldn't be the case, right? Even if he is stupid and rich, he wouldn't help the other party take out five boxes of gold bars for no reason... If there is no friendship, who would believe it..."

Lu Zhan didn’t think he was very smart, but he had thought of everything that could be thought of.

Feng Nangong can't be so stupid and rich that he would pay so much money for others for free, right?

Even if they were afraid of affecting the reputation of Jianghu Pavilion, they would not go to such an extent. After all, they had no evidence to prove that Feng Nan Palace was related to the King of Thieves, so how could it affect its reputation?

So... there might really be something fishy going on here at Fengnan Palace.

Jiang Ningshuang also thought it made sense: "Well! Then let's be prepared for the next few days. I'll stay at your house first."

“Okay, I’ll go to Zishisi to mobilize some troops. If the Thief Saint really dares to come, we’ll try our best to keep him.” Lu Zhan said.

……

After leaving Baihu Street, Lu Zhan returned to the Demon Suppression Division to arrange for the surveillance of Fengnan Palace and the deployment of defenses at home.

Jiang Ningshuang sneaked to a shop selling bellybands like a dog.

This shop sells the coolest clothes in Bianjing, with very bold styles.

Jiang Ningshuang regretted it the moment she came in. She didn’t know why she came here.

Anyway, after coming out of Liuyunfang, she was inexplicably tempted to buy some of those small clothes to take back.

Who told Lu Zhan to always secretly look at the little courtesans' vaguely visible bellybands...

But when it comes to such a place, Jiang Ningshuang can’t bring herself to do it… How can she face herself if a grown-up girl buys such immoral clothes?

Jiang Ningshuang turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the shop owner.

The shop owner was a beautiful woman with lingering charm. From Jiang Ningshuang's attitude, she knew that she wanted to buy something but was shy, so she enthusiastically pulled her aside to introduce the products to her.

"I...I took the wrong path. I'm not married yet." Jiang Ningshuang blurted out with a red face.

The shopkeeper smiled ambiguously: "Girl, what does buying clothes have to do with getting married? Since you are here, why not buy a few sets to take back? I am not exaggerating, but these clothes at home are absolutely tight and very comfortable to wear."

"I really went to the wrong place." Jiang Ningshuang couldn't even vent her temper, but she was afraid that the shopkeeper would pester her, so she looked at the dazzling array of small clothes and whispered, "How about... you pick a few sets for me."

The shopkeeper's smile became more and more ambiguous. She had seen many girls like Jiang Ningshuang.

She's the only one selling this on this street, who could go wrong?

It's just that the girl is shy and said that on purpose.

The shop owner was a considerate lady. Based on Jiang Ningshuang's figure, she quickly selected several suitable clothes for her.

After paying the money, Jiang Ningshuang fled away.

Jiang Ningshuang didn't stop until she crossed the street. Her heart was pounding like a deer. She slapped her head hard, feeling dizzy today.

But since when did I start feeling dizzy?

Jiang Ningshuang thought carefully and realized that her thoughts were normal before she entered Liuyunfang. But after entering Liuyunfang and seeing those wanton prostitutes and the small clothes in the room, her mind began to wander.

How to say it... I couldn't help but recall the intimate time with Lu Zhan, and even wanted to put on those embarrassing clothes to show Lu Zhan.

Jiang Ningshuang never thought of herself as a promiscuous person, but she actually bought these immoral clothes...

Even more boldly dressed than those prostitutes.

"Why not throw it away..."

If Lu Zhan found out, he would definitely think she was seducing him on purpose... Jiang Ningshuang took two steps at a time and threw her into a remote alley.

About ten breaths later, Jiang Ningshuang turned back honestly and picked up the small black bag.

Well...anyway, she went to the wrong place and was forced to buy it by the female shopkeeper.

Besides, she and Guanqi had already kissed and touched each other a long time ago, and they had played everything except the wolf-eating-tiger game. Even if she wore it for him to see, it would be no big deal.

After all, he is your man, not an outsider.

I just don't know if it looks good on me...

Thinking of this, Jiang Ningshuang was still a little agitated. She hurriedly put these things into the storage ring and headed towards Lu Zhan's house.

"Why are you here?" Xiaobai saw Jiang Ningshuang coming over, and his clear big eyes showed some curiosity.

Jiang Ningshuang held her head high and said, "As the hostess, of course I can come whenever I want. Prepare a guest room for me. I want to live here."

"Oh..." Xiaobai's eyes were watery. He wagged his tail and went to clean the guest rooms without any complaints.

Jiang Ningshuang felt a little embarrassed, so she joined in the cleaning. The guest room had just been cleaned not long ago, so it could be occupied after a little tidying up.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Ningshuang closed the door, opened the black bag like a thief, and took out the clothes inside.

Even if the Thief Saint came to settle accounts with Lu Zhan, he would never come now. She took the opportunity to see what the clothes she bought looked like.

Although they were called clothes, Jiang Ningshuang felt that they looked more like strips of cloth.

For example, a common bellyband can wrap around the waist and is more than enough to embroider a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, but the bellyband in my hand is only the size of a palm and is made of gauze.

Jiang Ningshuang's face flushed red, she didn't understand what the meaning of this thing was.

Is there any difference between wearing it and not wearing it?

Looking at the lower body of the garment, it is simply a black triangular strip of cloth with a black lotus embroidered in the middle.

Can this be clothes? Can it be comfortable to wear?

She remembered the set of clothes displayed in Zhuyun's room in Liuyunfang, which was not as exaggerated as the one she has now. How could it be as comfortable as her boxy bottoms?

Jiang Ningshuang was puzzled and looked at the socks next to her.

This pair of socks was a gift from the store. They are very delicately made and woven with black transparent silk thread. The material is smooth and very elastic.

Compared to those immoral clothes, these socks look much more normal and are novel in style. Jiang Ningshuang has never seen such socks before.

Jiang Ningshuang tried them on secretly and found that the socks looked small, but they were not small after she put them on.

Ordinary socks are loose in style and reach about the calf, but these socks wrap the feet tightly and reach up to the thigh.

She stood in front of the bronze mirror and found that her legs looked much better after putting them on.

"This dress looks weird, but it's actually quite nice to wear..."

Jiang Ningshuang's thoughts were wandering, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the small clothes she had thrown on the bed, and her heart gradually relaxed.

She is neither the pretentious Ling Jiaoyue nor the eccentric Chu Wantang. Jiang Ningshuang always does things as she pleases.

Her relationship with Guanqi is open and aboveboard, so it's reasonable for her to wear these clothes to add a little love.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ningshuang put on the little clothes and looked at herself in the mirror. Her face turned red and she dared not look directly at it, so she had to quickly put on her red dress.

The red dress is as bright as before, but the interior has completely changed.

Jiang Ningshuang was looking forward to being seen by Lu Zhan, but she was also afraid of being seen by Lu Zhan. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, so she simply covered her head with the quilt and tried not to think about these things.
