Ji Cheng went up to the second floor, her beautiful eyes moving around. The room was in a mess, with injured people lying on the ground.

She looked precisely at Mu Wanqing, the only one sitting there, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"There are guards this young in the Fifth Prince's Mansion?" She felt it was ridiculous. Was she being fooled?

Mu Wanqing tilted her head slightly, her childish face made her look like a naive child, but her words were not naive, "There are three types of people you should never mess with in the martial arts world: women, children, and the elderly. Do you know why?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she overturned Ji Cheng's suspicion, "They are weak, but they can survive in the world, so they must have something to rely on."

"You are very smart and brave. I like people like you. Please sit down." Mu Wanqing pointed to the seat opposite, with an extremely powerful aura.

To dare to walk in alone is not only a sign of courage, but also probably requires support.

Ji Cheng took a deep breath, walked forward and sat in that position, "I want to see the token of the Fifth Prince's Mansion."

Mu Wanqing raised her chin and said, "Give it to her."

Shen Yong silently placed the token in his hand on the table. Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment. It was different from what she imagined. It was too straightforward. "Aren't you afraid that I will destroy the token?"

Mu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh, "You are a smart person and you won't be stupid. There can't be only one token. Naturally, there are more than just our team."

The deep meaning in her words made Ji Cheng's face change several times. How many teams were lurking in secret? What on earth did they want to do?

"Can you tell me the purpose of your trip?"

Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "Sorry, I have no comment."

She has a bright smile, but her style of action is firm and strong, and she does not allow others to question her.

The two different characteristics are perfectly integrated in her, which does not seem inconsistent, but instead has an inexplicable attraction.

She made a pot of tea herself, her posture graceful and flowing, "Miss Ji, come, have some tea."

Ji Cheng sniffed it and found the fragrance was refreshing. He took a sip and the fragrance lingered on his lips. It was rich and sweet, and the aftertaste was endless. "Good tea, what kind of tea is this?"

"Big red robe."

"Tribute tea?" Ji Cheng was stunned. Ordinary people could not taste this precious thing.

"Yes, the fifth prince only got half a pound." Mu Wanqing spoke nonsense in a serious manner, making it sound like the truth.

Not only did Ji Cheng believe it, even Shen Yong and his group almost believed it.

Ji Cheng was silent. After trying for a while, she came to only one conclusion: the other party was indeed a powerful person.

Mu Wanqing drank her tea slowly, not in a hurry at all.

Instead, Ji Cheng was a little impatient, "Let me make it clear first, the He family is only the maiden family of my father's concubine, and we in the Ji family know nothing about what they did."

Mu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh. He really treated her like a child. "If you really knew nothing, you wouldn't be here. And your father, as the highest official in the city, is it possible that he didn't know? Even if he really didn't know, he can't escape the crime of negligence."

Ji Cheng's face changed.

Mu Wanqing dropped a bombshell directly, "But as far as I know, your father married two wives, regardless of age, and He was not considered a concubine."

From the perspective of etiquette, He was also Ji Chengdong's wife, but the child she gave birth to called him dad, so they were considered to be from a different family and the child was named under his uncle's name.

She always thought the rules of the game were very interesting, fooling people in one way or another, but unable to justify themselves.

"Your mother, Li, gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son is young, only five years old this year, while He gave birth to three sons and a daughter. She has firmly suppressed your family by her ability to give birth. The most important thing is that her eldest son is only one year younger than you, so he is considered the eldest son of the Ji family."

The Ji family's situation is special, and the word "arithmetic" contains a lot of information.

Ji Cheng closed his eyes, feeling that he had no chance to hide from her. "What else do you know?"

Mu Wanqing continued calmly, "Military status is hereditary. The three sons born to your brother and He are all eligible to inherit the position of Guard Commander."

To be honest, He's children are more likely to inherit. They are older and more outstanding, and all the family resources are poured into them. As for Li's son, it is hard to say.

Of course, this is the Ji family’s mess and has nothing to do with them.

Ji Cheng's heart was filled with shock. "Why are you investigating this?"

Mu Wanqing lazily leaned back in the chair, her eyebrows and eyes indifferent, "I know you are an amateur when I hear this. The assets of every general have been investigated, and the court has archived them. We will update the latest situation from time to time so that the people above can read it at any time and make decisions without mistakes and omissions."

She was not conducting an investigation, but was getting information from the lackeys and the shopkeeper and waiter on the ground, which was very comprehensive.

"Of course, you can also understand it as a necessary and normal way of communication between superiors and subordinates."

Ji Cheng: ...I've never heard such a weird explanation.

She suddenly realized that the rhythm of her speech had been mastered by the other party.

She pulled back with an effort, "Can I ask a few questions?"

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Okay, but whether to answer or not is entirely up to me."

Ji Cheng is a daughter of a general. She has learned martial arts and is more thoughtful than most people. However, she feels constrained when sitting in front of Mu Wanqing. "Why are you deliberately provoking me?"

Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows. "First of all, the guards of Ganzhou City designated us to stay in this inn. As soon as we moved in, this fat man came and the shopkeeper pointed us out to him. This is clearly a shady inn. The upper and lower levels are colluding with each other, and there are chaos everywhere."

"Again, it was He Feixiong who took the initiative to cause trouble and came to extort 10,200 taels of silver. I have always been given money by others, and no one dared to be so presumptuous in front of me. Therefore, he is dead."

She is flamboyant and confident.

"No, no, don't kill me." A terrified voice came from the corner.

The fat guy was covered with arrows and lying dead, but he was still alive!

Mu Wanqing didn't expect that this fat man had such a strong vitality. "Oh, you are still alive. You are very lucky. Guard Jiang, you are best at breaking other people's legs. Please let this one have a try."

Shen Yong did as he was told without hesitation. "Ahhhh." The screams resounded throughout the venue and reached the ears of Captain He below. His face suddenly changed. "Listen, people up there. If you dare to hurt my son, I will repay you a hundredfold."

He is a ruthless person. Because the emperor is far away, he is very unscrupulous.

Mu Wanqing had the fat man pulled to the window, specifically so that Captain He could see his son's broken leg clearly.

Shen Yong pointed the sword at the fat man's neck and said, "This is the fate of those who dare to offend us. I have more than a hundred kinds of punishment. Try them in turn."

The fat guy was so scared that he wet his pants. "No, no, I was wrong. I was blind and offended someone I shouldn't have offended. Please spare my life, Dad, save me."

All the things he did to other people in the past are now being paid back to him. Is this retribution?

Captain He was furious. "Brothers, charge in and capture these people alive."

The men looked at each other. No killing? Capturing alive? That's fine.

Shen Yong was furious on the spot, "You are planning to rebel. You want to wipe out the roots, but you don't even think about whether you have the ability to do so. We in this business always keep enough backup plans. If you are not afraid of being wiped out in the middle of the night, then just be quiet."

"Miss Ji, Captain He doesn't take your life seriously."

Ji Cheng looked unhappy. He walked to the window and waved his hand. A group of female soldiers appeared from nowhere and surrounded He Qianhu.

He Qianhu raised his head and looked at Ji Cheng coldly. Ji Cheng was not afraid at all and glared back at him fiercely.

They started fighting among themselves, and Mu Wanqing watched the fun with a smile, saying, "Let them fight, the more chaotic the better."

"Guard Jiang, let them pay to redeem this fat man. It's up to you."

Shen Yong's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Just now this fat guy extorted 10,200 taels from us. Since he loves money so much, then pay him back. If you want to redeem him, then pay ten times as much. We are not after money, we just want to vent our anger."

He is imitating Mu Wanqing's behavior, solving everything with money.

Captain He's expression kept changing. Paying the ransom was tantamount to admitting defeat. His prestige was almost destroyed. How could he lead the troops?

Mu Wanqing said calmly, "If you don't receive the money within an hour, break his other leg. Oh, no, break the third leg in the middle as well. Let him be a cripple for the rest of his life."

The fat man was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body, and he screamed, "Dad, save me, quickly give me money to redeem me, I don't want to be a useless person, Dad, Dad."

Captain He was going crazy because his son was behaving in a very ugly manner and Miss Ji was watching him covetously.

He had no choice but to swallow his anger and asked his men to go to the mansion to fetch 100,000 taels of silver.

One hand hands over the money, the other hand hands over the person.

Shen Yong swaggered down with the fat man in his arms and handed over the matter personally. "Captain He, I'm no longer angry. I don't plan to pursue this any further. Let's just stop here. What do you think?"

Captain He wanted to bite him to death, but when he raised his head and glanced at the second floor, there was vigilance in his eyes.

There was a person there who made him feel threatened like never before.

But, that person didn't even show his face.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

And that person seems to have teamed up with Miss Ji!

" OK."

The more straightforward the statement, the less believable it is.

Shen Yong was not worried. Instead, he looked at him with sympathy. "My boss said that if you want revenge, she welcomes you at any time. She is just looking for someone to practice her skills out of boredom. For example, she wants to overthrow a city or make a garrison reorganize."

Those who offend Miss Mu San usually don't have a good ending.

He Qianhu: ...? ? ? Is this human language? What nonsense is he talking about?

Let him be quiet!!

Captain He led his men to retreat. Mu Wanqing tapped the table and said, "Please ask other guests to move out. Please clear out the shopkeeper and the waiter. We will take over this inn temporarily. From this moment on, no one is allowed to come in or out without my permission."

"yes."

"Send a few people to keep an eye on the He family and report any movement to me."

"The remaining people will be divided into three groups, taking turns on duty, with each shift lasting four hours."

"Go to the kitchen and see if there are enough ingredients. If not, have someone bring some in."

"Notify the people outside the city and be ready to respond at any time."

Orders were issued one after another, it was a total wartime mobilization.

They took action one by one, truly enforcing orders and showing great action efficiency.

Ji Cheng was stunned. Although the figure was small, the aura of the commander was so strong that he was not inferior to those veteran generals.

Mu Wanqing turned her head and smiled at her, "Miss Ji, your female army is pretty good, how about lending it to me for a few days?"

Is this to make her express her opinion? Ji Cheng pursed his lips, "What's in it for me?"

Mu Wanqing likes to negotiate terms directly. "Each of you will receive ten taels. As for you, if the Ji family is defeated one day, I will protect your life."

Ji Cheng: ...

How could this person talk like that? Something happened to the Zhuji family. No, that's not right... Was he hinting at something to her?

Unconsciously, she overthought, "Protect me? Just you? Can you believe what you say?"

"Believe it or not." Mu Wanqing was very arrogant.

Ji Cheng's mind raced, he gritted his teeth, and took the gamble. "I can only assign fifty people to you."

"Enough." What Mu Wanqing wanted was a gesture. The eldest daughter of the Ji family was on her side. No matter what, Ji Cheng was the eldest daughter of the Ji family and had an army of women, which meant that she was relied upon.

"Just let them live here. Food and lodging are provided."

She generously gave him a gift, "As a reward, I'll give it to you. Take it home and do something with it."

Ji Cheng took a closer look and saw that it was a confession written by Fatty He.

She felt very complicated. "Then you have no leverage over the He family. Captain He is an unruly person who may not even obey the emperor's orders."

Mu Wanqing looked at her deeply, put in eye drops and distanced herself from the matter, and she seemed to be trying quite hard.

She smiled and took out a stack of confessions, all of which were signed and sealed by Fatty He.

"Whether or not to spread it out for the whole world to see depends on Mr. He's performance next. Don't worry, I will give priority to cooperating with you in doing things and will not rush to send it out."

She bet a spicy strip that He Qianhu would never give up.

Ji Cheng: ...This gloating suggestion is damn tempting.
