第311章 暗查(一更)
连舟一愣:“真假?”

主子说的是什么的真假?

他奇怪问道:“您今天不是去城外那铁矿查探了吗?怎么……难道那铁矿是假的!?”

“是真的。”

毕竟是个正经的矿场,石滦城内的人都是知晓的,想作假也难。

不过——

“那铁矿虽然不大,但戒备森严,场子外围派了专人望风。”

如果是寻常铁矿,不会这般戒备,尤其——

沈延川端起茶杯轻抿一口,漫不经心道:
“看起来,其中有不少还是练家子。”

连舟暗惊。

先前他在城内瞧见那几个人的时候,就觉得不太对,现在再结合主子的话,心中猜测几乎可以肯定。

“看来这铁矿真是有人故意做的障眼法?”

连舟想了想,继续道:“今日属下出去,又打探到几分消息,城内人都说那铁矿的待遇不错,不少人都想去谋个差事,但那边审核极其严格,寻常人还真进不去。偶尔有几个身强力壮的,进去之后过不了多久也都回来了,说给的钱虽不少,可里面干的活也累,而且监工凶戾,动不动就拿鞭子教训人。能留下的,都是能吃苦能豁出去的。”

沈延川挑了挑眉。

“倒是会选人。”

如此一来,倒是招了不少能打能干的。

连舟想不通:“可……到底会是谁?这石滦城也没什么特殊的,怎么会有人选在这样的地方?”

沈延川动作一顿,眼前忽然浮现之前见到的苏佩儿,若有所思。

是啊。

那么多地方可以去,为什么偏偏选在了这儿?
“那个苏佩儿,原籍是何处?”

连舟乍然听见这个名字也是懵了,片刻后反应过来:“您是说……之前韩家的那个苏佩儿?”

沈延川颔首。

连舟回想了一会儿,道:“好像说是南方来的,自小便被人卖到了青楼,因容貌出众,且弹得一手好琵琶,成了春风楼的头牌。”

他不明所以:“主子怎么突然想起问起她来?”

沈延川转了转杯子,道:“她也在这。”

连舟睁大眼睛,颇为震惊:“当真!?”

他很快明白过来,心头亦是思绪万千,眉头拧起:“那她来这,所为何事?总不能是她早就知道这石滦城有异吧?”

之前查韩家的案子的时候,苏佩儿的底子也被他们调查了个清清楚楚。

她根本没道理来这啊!
连舟问道:“那……要不要属下再去她那查上一查?”

石滦城不大,要找到苏佩儿的住处对他而言不是难事。

沈延川思虑片刻,却是摇了摇头:“不必。”

连舟又问:“那主子打算何时启程?”

暗中不知多少双眼睛盯着他们,如果在这里停留时间太久,迟迟不到昌州,必定会引人疑心。

沈延川道:“明日应是个晴天,是启程的好日子。”

“明天?”

连舟诧异,

“您不打算继续在这里查下去了?”

那铁矿的情况非比寻常,若是就此离开,那——

沈延川眉梢微扬。

“我说我要走了么?”

侯爷的掌心娇是朵黑心莲
Author:

Heir of a traditional medical family, Ye Chutang rolled through life for a lifetime, only to unexpectedly die just as she was about to inherit. Reborn, she only wanted to be a slacker and live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, she suffered a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her with three younger siblings. The third brother was seriously injured, the fourth brother was in a coma, and there was also a baby crying for milk. She weighed the cold steamed bun in her hand, looked despairingly at the sky, and thought that managing three at once was worse than starting over. The little baby tugged at her pant leg. "Hungry." Ye Chutang: "..." Get up and work! ...Ye Chutang’s plan was perfect; once she raised the children, she could retire and enjoy her later years. Yet, a man had different intentions. "Miss Ye, after all these years, shouldn't there be an explanation?" Ye Chutang: "6." You used to linger at my doorstep and now it’s my fault? ... The Ye family was impressive: Ye Sanlang was the top scholar of the current dynasty, Ye Si-lang had made great military achievements in the northwest, and Ye Wu girl had a commercial empire rivaling the rich and powerful. Only Ye Er-girl was busy raising her younger siblings, unknowingly aging and facing difficulties in marriage. Until one day, the powerful Duke of Dingbei, Shen Yanchaun, arrived with a bridal procession ten miles long to welcome her. Ye Chutang remained silent for a long time. "This time, you take care of the kids."
