The man's name was Zhang Cheng. He set fire in the west of the city in the middle of the night, killing three men and one woman. He should have been brought to trial earlier, but he had extensive burns on his body and was only rescued a few days later.

The people below suspected that this man was definitely not taking revenge on the man of that family because he had stolen the firewood he had worked so hard to chop, as he said. Instead, he seemed to be targeting the granary behind the deceased's family.

But after several days of interrogation, nothing came out. Today, Chu Jinzhi happened to come back and was pulled out.

"Tell me who's behind this, or you'll die in prison."

"Your Excellency, please understand. I really wanted revenge because the man from that family stole my firewood. I originally wanted to scare them, but I didn't expect this result."

Chu Jinzhi was already angry. Although the evidence presented by his subordinates was insufficient, based on his many years of experience, this matter was definitely not simple.

After all, this man had just been rescued not long ago, and he fainted after just a few whips.

The jailer next to him had already prepared cold water, and as long as Chu Jinzhi spoke, the ice water would be poured on the man named Zhang Cheng.

Yu Shu also knew that Chu Jinzhi was angry tonight, and tried to persuade him because he was afraid that it would cause trouble.

"Sir, if we continue to beat this man, he might die. It would be better to try him another day."

Chu Jinzhi threw the whip aside fiercely, but the anger in his heart could not be subsided.

"Take him away."

"yes!"

He spent the entire night in the prison, interrogating five prisoners alone, three of whom had already confessed.

The people below didn't know what was wrong with the admiral, and they didn't dare to provoke him or dissuade him.

.

After Chu Jinzhi left that day, he didn't show up for several days.

Rong Xi was happy and at ease, but people from outside came to inquire about her news in waves.

Among them were people from Chu Jinzhi's father, and the people who came this time were even bolder. They actually asked the guard at the door whether he had seen the two people who went to Lanzhi and her friends' yard that night.

The guard at the door had never seen it, so he could only tell the truth.

They also asked some questions about Jiang Rongxi, but the two people at the door were specially selected by Chu Jinzhi. Although they knew that they were from the master's house, their master was only Chu Jinzhi after all, so they didn't say much.

Rong Xi looked at the two people who came to inquire about the information on the system interface, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She once again let the system tamper with the room, and she naturally left through the back window.

I think Lanzhi and Lanying have already found a shop these days. Although she can exchange the points in the system for money, it is painful to spend the points. She still has to do something to make money in this world.

Her guess turned out to be correct. Lanzhi and Lanying had already found a shop, and even found a shopkeeper and shop assistants. It could be used directly after some renovation.

Rong Xi, with a veil on her face and a light blue skirt, followed behind Lanzhi.

"Miss, this shop is okay, right? We searched for it for a long time before finding it. Please take a look. If you think it's not suitable, we can look for another one."

Rong Xi followed Lan Zhi and looked around. There were several private rooms on the second floor. It was a good place with north-south ventilation.

"Well done."

The cautious expression on Lanzhi's face instantly disappeared. She was so happy to receive the compliment that she put her arm around Rongxi.

"I knew you would like it, Miss. This room is specially set up for you. Whenever you come, it will be reserved for you."

Rong Xi felt that Lanzhi's work was very much to his liking, so he took out two hundred taels from his purse and handed them to them.

"This is a reward, do a good job."

"Miss, you are very kind, Miss."

Lanzhi was about to get close to him, but Lanying beside her picked her up and threw her behind her.

Then he pulled a chair over, wiped the dust off it, helped Rong Xi sit down.

Lanzhi was not annoyed, but felt accustomed to it.

"When will Yu Shu and Yu Xun come back? Have they written to you?"

"No, I guess he'll be back soon."

"Um!"

Lanying was holding a box in her hand, which was handed to her by Rong Xi when he came.

Now Rong Xi took it and opened the box, and inside were the A4 papers that Rong Xi had stockpiled in the previous world.

Most of the papers used in foreign countries are Xuan paper, but Xuan paper is soft and contains many impurities, and its color cannot be as white as A4 paper.

But whether it is raw rice paper, cooked rice paper or half-raw and half-cooked rice paper, they are all very expensive and not easy to make.

Rong Xi didn't know if she would have the chance to do modern missions in the future, so she only planned to sell a part of the paper she had stockpiled, one piece of paper for one or two taels of silver, and it would be best if it could only be supplied to the imperial palace and those aristocratic families.

"Miss, what is this?"

"This is book paper. Didn't you hire a shopkeeper? Give him a few dozen sheets and see what he can do."

After Laneige knew the price of this product, it felt hot in her hand.

"Yes, miss."

Everything has been arranged, and Rong Xi is ready to go back. Being out for too long will easily arouse suspicion.

.

But he ran into Chu Jinzhi just as he was leaving the study.

Rong Xi covered her face and looked at Chu Jinzhi with cold eyes. She didn't intend to let him know her true identity yet, so naturally she would not reveal her Liu'er appearance.

Chu Jinzhi was also out on patrol and happened to see the woman at the door of the store over there.

Although she was wearing a veil, she still gave him a very familiar feeling.

Lanzhi and Lanying also knew Chu Jinzhi, and they knew the young lady's current relationship with him.

It turned out that this person was the one who bewitched his master. From this point of view, he had a good life. No wonder the master followed him to Shengjing.

Chu Jinzhi rode on the horse, squeezed his legs, and the horse moved forward.

Lanzhi and Lanying immediately stopped Rongxi behind them.

"May I ask what is the matter, sir?"

Chu Jinzhi was still looking at Rong Xi, but the coldness in her eyes made him a little hesitant to recognize her.

"Nothing."

He rode away on his horse. He could see that the two maids in front of him should be quite skilled. If they were to fight here, it would be bad if they recognized the wrong person.

He rode his horse straight towards Jinyuan.

Rong Xi was also fast and took a shortcut to return to Jinyuan before Chu Jinzhi got home.

There was no time to change clothes, so she took off her clothes and lay directly in the quilt, letting the system give her a deep sleep.

Chu Jinzhi walked in without knocking. Just as Lu'er and Jiang'er were about to bow, they saw their master's gesture to keep quiet.

They didn't dare to say anything more and went about their own business.

He gently pushed open Rong Xi's door and looked at the person sleeping on the couch. He still had some doubts in his heart.

He tiptoed over to see if Rong Xi was pretending to be asleep, and whether the clothes she was wearing were the same as those of the woman just now.

But when he walked over, he heard the steady breathing of the person on the couch. As soon as he lifted the quilt, he immediately put it down.

Why does this girl sleep without wearing anything?
