Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2567: Atonement for Sins 30.0
"That's hilarious if that's what you mean."

Jin Miaomiao had agreed with Shen Cha before that she would hide in the dark and observe to see if Boss Luan really wanted to atone for his crime.

So, after entering the door, she chose a very secluded place next to Shen Cha to sit down. It happened to be a blind spot, and from Boss Luan's direction, she could not see anyone there.

Boss Luan really didn't know that there were other people around Shen Cha besides Ying Er and Meilin, so when Jin Miaomiao opened her mouth to speak, he was scared. He screamed instinctively and looked at the place where the sound came from with a horrified face, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Hey, hey, is it really that serious?" Ying Wu looked at Boss Luan, whose face turned pale with fear, with an amused expression. He shook his head helplessly and said to Shen Cha, "He really is a man who does not have a guilty conscience and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door. Boss Luan looks like he has done a lot of guilty consciences."

"Yeah!" Handing a candle to Jin Miaomiao in the dark, Merlin nodded to Ying Wu, "I think so too."

"If you walk along the river often, you will get your feet wet." Ying Wu chuckled, "Boss Luan followed a master like Master Falian, so you must have killed a lot of people, right? Even if you didn't kill them directly, there must be a lot of people who died indirectly because of you. You have been selling Forget Worry Powder for so many years, and how many families and clans have been separated, broken up, or even wiped out because of it? This is all your sin." He approached Boss Luan and said, "Don't you think of these people when you wake up in your dreams at midnight? Aren't you afraid that their ghosts will haunt you?"

"." Boss Luan glanced in the direction of Jin Miaomiao and didn't speak for a long time.

"I'm so sorry. I was a little sleepy just now, so I found a dark place to take a nap. If I scared you, I apologize." Jin Miaomiao looked at the candle, moved it closer to her face, gave Boss Luan a weird smile, and said in a sinister tone, "But why don't you answer Lao Wu's question? Aren't you afraid that those who died unjustly will come looking for you in the middle of the night?"

When Boss Luan saw Jin Miaomiao like this, coupled with her smile, his whole body began to tremble. Ying Wu, who was beside him, clearly heard the sound of his teeth rubbing against each other out of fear.

"I am not afraid, I am."

"Aren't you afraid?" Ying Wu looked at the puddle of water that suddenly appeared between Boss Luan's feet, sneered, and said, "Aren't you afraid of being scared like this?"

"I" am Boss Luan, who is already quite old. He really has no face left to be scared to this extent in front of so many young people.

"What's wrong?" Jin Miaomiao leaned out half of her body to take a look, and raised an eyebrow at Boss Luan, "Why are you so timid? This doesn't seem like the courage that someone who has been doing underground business for so many years should have!"

"Alright!" Shen Cha patted Jin Miaomiao, signaling her to stop and not scare their prisoners. If they go crazy or die, they will be the ones who suffer. She looked at Jin Miaomiao, moved the candle in front of her, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Seriously, what do you mean when you said it was too funny?" "It means exactly what it says. It sounds very funny." Jin Miaomiao supported her chin, looked lazy, and said slowly, "Boss Luan, you just said that Master Falian often gives you some tasks that are impossible to complete. If you can't do it, he will find ways to torture you, right?"

".Ah!" Boss Luan didn't know what Jin Miaomiao meant and could only nod at her stupidly.

"Then Master Falian might be a simple-minded person."

"What does this mean?" Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao looked at each other, and they both instantly understood what the other wanted to do.

"What I mean is, although Master Falian has many profitable businesses, Forget Worry Powder is definitely the most profitable one. Forget Worry Powder is a low-cost, high-profit product. Even if he gives you a larger share, he still makes a lot. As for other businesses, they should also be profitable, but compared to Forget Worry Powder, they are nothing." Jin Miaomiao looked at Boss Luan, "Am I right? If it didn't make money, he wouldn't let you open up a trade route to the Western Regions. Don't tell me that the Western Regions are doing legitimate business."

"Master Jin," Boss Luan sighed, "They do sell Forget Worry Powder over there, but most of the business is still legitimate."

"Really?" Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow. "Then the question is, since you are responsible for the most profitable business, why would he bother you so easily and want to torture you? What good will this do for him? He has driven you money-making experts crazy. You have betrayed him and sold him out one by one, cutting off his source of income. If he wants to continue his so-called great goals, where can he get the money? From what we know about Master Falian, he is not the kind of guy who can't figure out what is more important."

"Master Jin, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

"If that's not what I meant, then what else does it mean?" Jin Miaomiao spread her hands. "You just said it yourself, he tried every way to torture you."

"I" Boss Luan didn't know how to explain for a moment, "He just likes to make things difficult for us. For example, this time, his purpose was to let me come to Jiapingguancheng to borrow the road. He clearly knew that the borders of Xia, Liao, and Jin were all of great importance, and they checked these things very strictly, and they also looked at people like us very strictly, but he still let us come." He looked at everyone, "As soon as we arrived, no, before we arrived, we were arrested by you all."

"Don't you think there's something wrong here?"

"Is there a problem?" Boss Luan looked at Jin Miaomiao blankly. After not being able to read any meaning from her face, he looked at Shen Cha again, "You said he deliberately got me arrested? No way!"

"Why not?" Ying Wu looked at Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao, and exchanged a look with Ying Er. He immediately understood what the boss and Sister Miaomiao meant. He turned his head and looked at Boss Luan, "You were doing well in Jiangnan, why did you suddenly move away from the place where you have lived for so many years and return to Xijing City? Is this also the arrangement of Master Falian? Let you start over at this age? If so, isn't it a bit too much? What about your business in Jiangnan? Is it completely over, or has someone taken over?"
