Chapter 20 Jiang Wencheng encounters another accident

"I just can't understand, to what extent did he ignore you before? She couldn't recognize you just because you were wearing a veil?"

Li Xia looked back at Jiang Wencheng several times, leaned close to Yan Chaonian's ear and lowered her voice, "He is really blind."

It's the same person, just dressed up formally, wearing gold and silver, and putting on some makeup, but without any disguise, so how can we not recognize him?

Yan Chaonian felt that he would stab him, "If you want to say that I have lived in vain before, just say it directly."

Li Xia pursed his lips, saying that he couldn't understand what those noble families were thinking. They couldn't even recognize their ex-wife standing in front of them. When she wasn't wearing a veil, he was arrogant and looked disdainful; once he put on the veil, he looked fawning and smiled in a nasty way, which was very interesting.

Suddenly I wondered how interesting his expression would be when he found out that the abbot he came up to please was Yan Chaonian.

Want to see.

Yan Chaonian slowly stood up. One of the new pieces of brocade really caught people's eyes. It was the same Tonghai section, with various flowers covering the ground, bright and rich colors, and a lustrous luster.
Not only her, but other people from the brocade workshop including Li Chun also saw it. They all walked closer to take a closer look. Judging from the pattern alone, it may not be the best. Full-flowered brocade, especially the full-flowered brocade with too dark colors, is not something that everyone can pull off. It must be suitable for those with bright and magnificent facial features and an exotic temperament.

This brocade is so dense that you can't see the background. It is so intricate and detailed that the person who wove it must have an extraordinary memory. "He is really an expert."

"Tonghai satin was only seen last year. The Brocade Industry Bureau called it Manhua brocade. The brocade is as its name suggests, with no background color. The surface is covered with various flowers, and the colorful colors are really beautiful."

"What's the point of looking good? This material would be too much for clothes, and it would be a pity to use it as a curtain. Only a person of color can handle it."

The boss of Yunjinfang was very jealous and belittled the brocade that everyone thought was gorgeous. Boss Zhao smiled and said that he was just jealous. "It takes a very skilled weaver to weave it. The weavers of Yunjinfang can't do this, right?"

Li Chun and others all laughed. Yan Chaonian looked at the brocade in front of her again and again, and then turned back to her seat. An unintentional glance made her see that Jiang Chongyuan was staring at her, but she ignored him.

Jiang Chongyuan always felt that Yan Chaonian looked very familiar, especially his eyes, which were exactly the same as the ones that woman had when she beat him. Then he thought that she worked at Chaojinfang, so could it be the same person?
He remembered his grandmother saying that his grandmother's family was a merchant family that was engaged in the cloth business.

"Father, do you have any?"

"Shut up."

Jiang Chongyuan wanted to express his opinion, but unfortunately Jiang Wencheng did not give him the chance. At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts on the feasibility of continuing to win over Chaojinfang. He was also waiting for this year's champion to emerge. If the champion fell to someone else, he would have other plans. He couldn't just hang himself on Chaojinfang.

Jiang Chongyuan shrank his neck. If it were in the past, he would have been able to finish his words, but his father was becoming more and more impatient with him and his grandmother was far away in the capital. He did not dare to act rashly and could only choose to keep silent. His eyes fell on Yan Chaonian again.

They really look alike.

It was almost noon when the last group of people from Jinfang came on stage. After watching it, Yan Chaonian stood up and prepared to go back home. The purpose of her coming had been achieved, and all that remained was to wait for the results of her two uncles.

"Follow him." Jiang Wencheng got on the carriage one after another, and was determined to find out the background of the owner of Chaojinfang no matter what he said today. He just gave an order, and his followers understood it. They hurriedly caught up with Yan Chaonian's carriage and followed him all the way.

"Boss, there is a tail."

The guards hiding in the crowd soon discovered the person who was following them. This was an old job for them. Which brocade workshop in the city had not followed someone before?
"As usual, go and call someone."

They never take action themselves to deal with these tails.

In this way, Yan Chaonian's carriage went in front, Jiang Wencheng followed behind, with guards from the garrison scattered around. Until the carriage turned into a complicated alley, the coachman responsible for driving Jiang Wencheng quickly lost his direction. Just when he was anxiously trying to find him, a group of masked warriors came out from nowhere, holding wooden sticks and started beating him.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Jiang Wencheng's guards were quickly defeated. Half an incense stick later, the master and his servants were standing in a strange street in panic. They encountered robbers in broad daylight. Their carriage was robbed, and even the little change they had on them was taken away.

The guards with bruised faces and noses did not dare to look at Jiang Wencheng. You have to know that Jiang Wencheng and his son were forcibly pulled off the carriage. The robbers kicked them several times each, and there were still a few bruises on their buttocks.

Jiang Chongyuan did not dare to cry. He just wanted to go back to the capital. The southwest was too scary. First he encountered thieves and then robbers. Now, even his carriage was gone.

"Go check. I want to see who dares to openly rob my uncle's carriage."

"Let's go to the government office now."

Jiang Wencheng no longer cared about Yan Chaonian. He took a few steps and met an old man who was trying to show his courage. The guard stepped forward to ask him. The old man sighed, "You don't know, there is a group of robbers in our generation who like to rob outsiders the most. They will not leave empty-handed. If there is no money, they will take at least two pieces of clothes. The government can't do anything about it. They have arrested them many times but it's useless."

"We have many mountains here. If those robbers sneak out of the city and hide in the mountains, no one will be able to find them. I'm afraid you can only accept your defeat."

The guards and followers felt disappointed when they heard this. They had heard in the capital that the southwest was not peaceful, but they had never heard it was so chaotic.

Jiang Wencheng felt a darkness before his eyes. After asking for the way to the government office, he ran away first. When the government clerk saw him again, he felt bitter when he learned that he had been robbed again. Why was this man so unlucky?
"To be honest, that group of robbers is really difficult to deal with. Even the government office can't do anything about it. It can only be deterred when General Yuan is here. Ever since General Yuan led his troops to war, that group of robbers has appeared again. It's very difficult to catch them."

"General Yuan?"

Jiang Wencheng said he had never heard of this person. His master said he was the garrison commander of the southwest. "I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. General Yuan is not only in charge of military supplies, but also in charge of leading troops in battles. He is quite capable. With him, we have a lot of peace."

"I heard that he will be back soon. Then I can only look for him and see if he has any solution."

Jiang Wencheng didn't believe that such a large government office couldn't catch a group of thieves. All these were excuses. The master could only tell him about the dangers of the southwest and the various forces intertwined here. It was extremely complicated. "To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that group of thieves belong to which force. How can we catch them?"

Jiang Wencheng wanted to get angry and force the people in the government office to do their job, but someone ran in quickly, "Master, General Yuan is back."
