Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen - Chapter 142

142 Investigation

In a private garden in Shifeng County, a man in black was kneeling on the ground, he said respectfully, “Master, we still haven’t found out what Crown Prince Ming is doing, but we do know that he often goes to Jian village these days. Before our people got close, we saw the people guarding the government outside the village, so we didn’t dare to rashly go and investigate.”

Lin Zhiqing nodded with interest and ordered, “Go and prepare a carriage for me. I want to go there personally and see what Crown Prince Ming and Boss Jian are doing.”

The man in black respectfully acknowledged and then left.

A carriage slowly came to the Jian family village. The officer on duty expressionlessly stopped him and shouted, “What are you doing!?”

!!
Lin Zhiqing smiled and replied, “Big Brother, I’m a friend of Miss Jian Qingqing. I’m here to look for her. Please inform her.”

The officer looked at him suspiciously. After a while, he ordered another officer, “Xiao San’er, go and tell Miss Jian.”

Xiao San’er ran to look for Jian Qingqing.

Jian Qingqing was cleaning the weeds on the way to see the granny. Although she had been reprimanded by her today, she was stubborn and would not give up until she achieved her goal. She would go again tonight.

Seeing the officers and soldiers trotting over, she asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”

Xiao San’er panted and said, “Miss Jian, someone said that he is your friend and wants to look for you. He is currently at the entrance of the village.”

“Friend? Who is it?”Jian Qingqing asked doubtfully. Apart from Wei Wusheng and Ming Zhiyan, she did not have any friends.

Xiao San’er patted her head awkwardly and said, “Aiya, I forgot to ask. However, he came with a horse carriage and was dressed in rich clothes. He does not look like an ordinary person.”

Jian Qingqing thought for a moment. She did not seem to know any rich people. Thinking of the things that were going on in the village and that it was inconvenient for outsiders to come in, she said, “I’ll go with you to take a look.”

When she reached the village entrance, she saw Lin Zhiqing sitting on the shaft of the carriage, fanning himself. Jian Qingqing asked in surprise, “Young Master Lin, are you looking for me?”

Lin Zhiqing jumped off the carriage, he smiled and said, “Yes, Miss Jian. I want to tour around Shifeng County, but I don’t have any friends to travel with. I remembered that Miss Jian is also from Shifeng County, and I can be considered friends with you, so I specially came to look for you.”

Jian Qingqing was silent.

If it was in the modern era, he could have been a man of universal faith when he said such words. She had only met him once, so who was his friend?

Moreover, in ancient times, with his attitude, he would be called a lecher. Didn’t you see the two officers beside him were looking at him with fire in their eyes?

If it were not for the fact that there was no dirty intention in his eyes, Jian Qingqing would have asked someone to beat him up long ago.

She said with a cold face, “Young master Lin, we’re not very familiar with each other.”

Lin Zhiqing said in puzzlement, “Is that so? Miss Jian, we’ve already had dinner together, aren’t we familiar with each other?”

Jian Qingqing did not want to talk more with him. She had always felt that he was a very dangerous person, and she did not know his background. She did not know what purpose he had for coming to the Jian Family Village at this time.

She said coldly, “Young Master Lin, there are many interesting places in Shifeng County. It’s also very interesting to go there by yourself. Our village is nothing but mountains and land. There’s really nothing worth seeing. Moreover, I’m just a little girl, so it’s not convenient for me to go with you.”

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Granny Lin fainted for four hours before she gradually woke up. She looked at the weeds that had been cut down in front of the house and sighed slightly. She staggered into the house. The incense on the offering table had already been burned off. She lit another bunch of incense.
