Chapter 21 Now that I think about it, the person behind Qi Nanfeng, could it be him?

Upon hearing this, Qi Nanfeng smiled faintly and replied, "It is my honor that Master Dong thinks highly of me."

After everyone left, Liu hurried out from the inner room with a look of joy on her face!

"Nanfeng! I just heard what that gentleman said, but the princess changed her mind and wanted to save you? I knew the princess liked you and she wouldn't stand by and watch you get into trouble."

"Also, although Lord Dong's family is no longer serving as officials in Kyoto, they are still very wealthy! He clearly has a crush on Linlin. You, damn girl, are truly blessed!"

Qi Lin didn't want to pay attention to Liu, so she just asked, "Brother, what did the princess ask you to do?"

Qi Nanfeng clutched the secret letter in his hand, his eyes suddenly turning cold: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't know!"

At the same time, Ruan Mian was walking around the yard and saw a corner full of unwanted duck feathers.

There were two servants slaughtering ducks.

After asking, I learned that all these ducks were raised in captivity to feed Mr. Dong and his family.

"Every morning, we have to deliver fresh ducks to Lord Dong's mansion. The Dong family mansion is large and has a large population, so the reward is not bad."

Ruan Mian reached out and flipped through the duck feathers and the duck intestines they didn't want, and a different idea came to his mind.

But another name quickly came to my mind.

"This Mr. Dong you're talking about is Dong Jun? He's the former Minister of Works and Dong Ye's only son?"

In the original book, Dong Ye, the former Minister of Works, retired and returned to his hometown, where he died suddenly on the way back.

All the family property over the years was left to his only son Dong Jun.

Ruan Mian was deeply impressed by this person because in the original book, this person was a loyal subordinate of King Yan.

He ran an arena, but behind the facade of the arena, he hid an intelligence office of the King of Yan.

In the original book, the dynasty changed and Prince Yan's rebellion was victorious because the Intelligence Department leaked many secrets of the court.

This Colosseum attracted dignitaries every day, making him rich and powerful, and he walked sideways like a crab in Ziye City.

It was perfectly normal for him to abduct women and embezzle money from the people.

He was still a beast without any humanity. In the Colosseum, it was not a fight between beasts, but slaves and captives he bought from all over the place, and he made them fight the beasts with their bare hands for betting.

Now that I think about it, the person behind Qi Nanfeng might be him?

Ruan Mian put away his expression, took out two ingots of silver from his purse and placed them in front of the servant.

Their eyes lit up: "What's this, girl?"

"I bought your duck feathers and entrails."

The servants looked at each other in disbelief: "Girl, the duck feathers and entrails will be thrown away and are of no use. Are you sure you want to buy them?"

It may not be useful to others, but it is very effective to Ruan Mian.

As the night deepened and everyone around him fell asleep one after another, Ruan Mian sat beside the house, touching the bracelet, and put all the duck feathers and internal organs into the space.

During this time, she discovered that the storage warehouse in the space was not just for storing things, but could also keep the food fresh for a long time and would not spoil no matter how long it was stored.

The pastries and cooked meats that were looted from the Qi Mansion’s kitchen hadn’t changed in taste at all and still tasted as fresh as ever.

The duck feathers she collected were all specially selected down feathers, and the two servants gave her all the duck feathers they had accumulated during that period.

There was a small stream in the space. Ruan Mian casually put the duck feathers into a basin. Just as he filled the basin with water, he suddenly found that the smell and dirt on the duck feathers were all gone.

It happened in the blink of an eye, clean and without any smell.

Surprised, she spread out the duck feathers in the space again. In less than a moment, all the moisture on the duck feathers dried up and became so fluffy that they filled a basin!

Unexpectedly, the sunlight and stream water in this space are so different.

She didn't have time to tinker with it now, so she first processed all the duck feathers, then took some strips of cloth and simply sewed a few scarves for her family. Since Zhang and Ruan's father were not feeling well, she sewed some down into their coats to keep them warm.

The next morning, the officials were late in coming to urge them to set off.

Everyone around him became confused, and seeing this, Ruan Mian decided to go and ask in person.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw Qi Nanfeng leaving the post station.

She frowned slightly, and simply took out a warm and soft pancake from the space and handed it to the nearest official.

"Sir, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? I've warmed up some pancakes. Come and try some."

After that, he pretended to ask casually, "When are we leaving?"

Guotou smiled and said, "Maybe I won't leave today. It depends on the situation."

He didn't say the reason, but Ruan Mian guessed that it must be related to Qi Nanfeng.

But it was not easy to ask directly, so he took out a gold leaf and handed it to him, saying with a smile: "Sir, since you are not planning to leave today, why don't you let me go to the market to buy some supplies."

"Don't worry, I won't run away. My whole family is here! Also, I see you don't have enough food and fodder. We didn't get much last time at Lizhuang Post Station. Why don't I buy some today? We have so many mouths to feed, we can't all starve to death, right?"

"You guys are working so hard, I'd feel bad if you didn't eat something good."

They had known for a long time that this Miss Ruan was extraordinary, and what's more, she had someone protecting her from above, so the officials would not make things difficult for her.

He only gave her a time: "Then you must come back as soon as possible, at most three hours. If you are not back after this time, don't blame us for being rude."

If it were someone else, they might not release the person even if they bribed them, but Ruan Mian was different.

After getting permission, Ruan Mian turned back and gave Cuizhu a few instructions, then quickly left the post station and walked in the direction Qi Nanfeng had left.

Qi Nanfeng had difficulty walking and walked slowly, so soon she caught up with Qi Nanfeng.

At this time, there was another unfamiliar face beside him, and they walked all the way to an inn in the market.

Ruan Mian followed him to the outside of the inn, looked up, and was about to hesitate whether to go in when a familiar face suddenly walked out.

He didn't notice Ruan Mian, who strode out with his sword in hand, but the waist belt was particularly conspicuous.

Minister Dong?!

Ruan Mian recognized him immediately, and seeing him leave in a hurry, she subconsciously followed him.

If Minister Dong is here, does that mean the Prime Minister is here too?

Compared to following Qi Nanfeng, she wanted to meet the Prime Minister more.

If he was in Ziye City, he would most likely be here to investigate Dong Jun.

When Ruan Mian and Minister Dong arrived at a place, her guess was indeed verified.

Minister Dong hid his sword and walked into the arena opened by Dong Jun.

It is located in the most remote part of the market. The entrance is no different from that of an ordinary inn, but there must be another world behind the wide wall.

She was thinking when suddenly two strong men ran up to her, one on the left and one on the right, and lifted her into the air!

Before she could react, a ferocious-looking servant in front of her roared at her.

"A slave dares to run away?! Take her away! The next one will be thrown into the menagerie!"
