Chapter 183 List

As soon as Qin Jinzhi arrived at Qianniaosi, Hu Aman walked in excitedly.

"Commander Wei has arrived in Beijing!"

Qin Jinzhi was not surprised. She had asked Wei Xueqi to deliver the letter in order to test Wei Longmu's intentions.

Hu Aman delivered a visiting card to Qin Jinzhi.

"Manager Wei has booked a private room at Yong'an Restaurant and wants to meet you."

Qin Jinzhi accepted the visiting card at the exact time she was about to finish her shift.

He is sensible, has a good demeanor, and is well-informed.

“Tell her I will be there on time.”

Hu Aman agreed and turned to leave.

"Commander, the prisoner in the small cell wants to see you!"

The prison guard stood outside the door.

Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "I thought it was some tough bone."

When she arrived at the cell, Shen Changqing's expression was quite different from the last time.

Even his eyes have become much more listless.

Qin Jinzhi didn't say anything, she just looked at him.

Shen Changqing sneered, "To be able to manipulate people's hearts at such a young age, the person above is probably raising a tiger to cause trouble."

Qin Jinzhi remained silent.

A hint of resentment finally appeared in Shen Changqing's eyes.

“Back then, someone from the State of Jin colluded with the enemy. Qin Ziyi was besieged at Xialu Mountain. Several powerful families cut off his retreat, which is why he died in battle. If you release me, I will give you the list.”

Qin Jinzhi chuckled softly, just watching him laugh, but she didn't say a word.

Shen Changqing said somewhat angrily, "Don't you want to know who killed your father?"

Qin Jinzhi approached Shen Changqing and said, "I suspect you were involved in Pei Yunxiao's death."

Shen Changqing's pupils twitched.

How did you know?

Qin Jinzhi looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of mockery.

"Guess again, why am I keeping you around?"

Shen Changqing looked at Qin Jinzhi with a cold smile, "You want me to identify them?"

Qin Jinzhi shrugged. "Whatever."

Shen Changqing was taken aback. "What?"

Qin Jinzhi bent over and looked at Shen Changqing.

"Whether you want to identify them or they want to kill you, I don't care. But I hope you are a person without weaknesses, otherwise you will suffer a lot."

Shen Changqing's eyes froze for a moment, and Qin Jinzhi burst out laughing.

"Oh no, I've found out."

Shen Changqing lunged at the railing, "Back then, I really should have killed you."

Qin Jinzhi said with a smile, "It's a pity, there's no medicine for regret in this world."

Shen Changqing's face turned ashen. "Get me paper and pen."

Qin Jinzhi clapped her hands.

The prison guard brought over writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

A moment later, Shen Changqing handed over a list.

Inside are the names of the powerful families and officials who participated in the suppression of her father back then.

"Eighteen years have passed, and there should be no evidence left. However, judging from your methods, if it's revenge, you probably won't need any evidence either."

Qin Jinzhi put the list away and looked into Shen Changqing's eyes, "Who in the Zhenbei Army is the one providing support?"

Shen Changqing shook his head. "I don't know. I'm not in charge of the backup."

Qin Jinzhi turned and left.

"Move him into a normal cell."

Qin Jinzhi placed the list on the table.

This is the list that Pei Yunxiao received before he died.

Or rather, it was because of this list that Pei Yunxiao died.

The five most prominent families in the capital were prominently listed.

Nowadays, everyone in these positions holds high rank and great power.

Look at this world, good people always die young.

Qin Jinzhi wrote down several names and sent them to the Pei residence.

He should know who killed Pei Yunxiao.

After finishing her shift, Qin Jinzhi went to Yong'an Tower.

Wei Xueqi had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Princess!"

Wei Xueqi led Qin Jinzhi to the private room.

"Mother, the princess has arrived."

As soon as Qin Jinzhi entered the private room, she saw a face that looked very similar to Wei Xueqi's.

However, there was no fear on that face; it bore the marks of time and exuded a strong sense of roguishness.

"Wei Xuan greets the Princess!"

Qin Jinzhi sat down opposite her. "Director Wei, you don't need to be so polite. You are friends with Aman and Ajiao, so naturally you are my friends too."

Wei Xuan laughed heartily, "I've long heard that the princess is different from others in the capital. Seeing her today, I can confirm it's true. This is just a small gift, nothing more."

She pushed a box in front of Qin Jinzhi.

Qin Jinzhi raised her hand and opened the box, which contained a whole box of gold bars.

Wei Xuan looked at Qin Jinzhi calmly and said, "Princess, please don't be offended. I am a rough man. This is a gift and an apology. I heard that my younger brother actually attacked Ajiao and Aman. Although I don't care about the correspondence between the two of them, they are now working under you, so I should give them an explanation. If you need anything in the future, Princess, just give me your orders, and I, Wei Xuan, will not hesitate."

The more Qin Jinzhi looked at Wei Xuan, the more she felt that this mother and daughter were quite interesting.

No wonder Wei Xuan, a woman, was able to become the leader of the Canal Gang, a place rife with swords and blood.

Qin Jinzhi tapped her finger lightly on the table and asked, "You're not angry that I caused your brother to lose his job?"

Wei Xuan laughed nonchalantly, "Don't laugh at me, Princess. Wei Qianfan and I are not from the same clan. We are not related at all. I just wanted to find some connections in the capital because he has some background. These days, if you don't have some background, you will be swallowed up and not even left with bones."

Qin Jinzhi agreed, "Manager Wei is a straightforward person, so, Manager Wei wants to talk to me about cooperation?"

Wei Xuan looked at Qin Jinzhi's face and smiled even more, "What do you think, Princess?"

Qin Jinzhi leaned back. "Isn't Director Wei giving me too much credit? Although I have some status in the capital, I'm just a spoiled brat. Why did Director Wei choose me?"

Wei Xuan took out a token from her body and pushed it in front of Qin Jinzhi.

"This is my command token for the Cangzhou Canal Gang. There are two of them. With this token, I can mobilize all the forces of the Cangzhou Canal Gang."

Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Is Captain Wei entrusting his life and fortune to me?"

Wei Xuan laughed heartily, "It's just a small Cangzhou. I hope that in the future, the princess can use this token to mobilize the entire waterway!"

Qin Jinzhi closed the box full of gold bars.

"I will accept this gift."

Wei Xuan got up and walked to Qin Jinzhi, where she respectfully knelt on one knee.

"Wei Xuan, be at the Princess's beck and call."

Qin Jinzhi helped her up, saying, "I like talking to smart people."

She picked up the token. "I really like the title of Daenerys Targaryen."

Ambition is never a derogatory term.

Qin Jinzhi loves this kind of ambition!

All the leaders of the Grand Canal gangs had a nickname related to dragons.

The dragon is the master of the water.

Wei Xuan calls herself the Dragon Mother, and her ambition to dominate all waterways is obvious.

Their followers came from all over the country and were well-informed. When Wei Xuan learned that the Hu sisters, Hu Aman and Hu Ajiao, were serving this infamous princess in the capital, she had already begun to pay attention to Qin Jinzhi.

Having investigated the situation in the capital, Wei Xuan already sensed the unfathomable depth of this princess.

She was able to break through the encirclement of gang members thanks to her extraordinary vision and courage.

Upon receiving Wei Xueqi's letter.

Wei Xuan knew then that her chance to realize her grand ambitions had arrived!
