Chapter 188 Boss and Confidant during the Day
He Yanting stared at everyone, but his ears were already erected.
He should say it or not, he also felt that this name was a bit familiar.
[Oh, I remembered, many male pets in novels are called this. ]
[Let me see this Qingyi——Wow, it turns out to be a male pet! ]
He Yanting: "..."
[Don't say it, this male pet is really good at handling things, coaxing Liu Zhijie into a trance, not handing over the affairs of the inner house to the main wife, but to him to take care of, and when he is outside, he is his confidant. ]
[Really a boss and confidant during the day, and a ghost and treasure at night. ]
[City knows how to have fun! 】
He Yanting: "..."
"Take me to the secret room," Jiang Zhiyu paused for a moment when passing by Jiang Zhaorong: "Oh, look at me, I forgot that the Prime Minister is still kneeling, please get up quickly, Prime Minister."
Jiang Zhaorong stood up without changing his expression.
"If the Prime Minister has something to do, please go and do it first. We can handle it here in Jinzhou."
【Hurry up and check the identity of your precious daughter. Don't bother me here. I don't have time to take care of you. 】
Identity...
He Yanting looked at Jiang Zhaorong with a deep look in his eyes.
Jiang Zhiyu left after saying this, leaving Jiang Zhaorong on the side with a turbulent heart.
He forgot that since Jiang Zhiyu knew so many secrets, did she also know about this matter?
No, that's not right.
It has been so long since this happened that even he, the person involved, is confused now. How could she know the truth?
Impossible.
He kept saying it was impossible in his heart, but his hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists, and his face was as terribly gloomy as the sky in the cold winter.
The servant beside him did not dare to say a word.
After a long while, he said dryly: "I'm going to do some things, you just wait here."
The servant bowed his head and accepted the order, and Jiang Zhaorong walked out of the house.
The moment he left the house,
an idea flashed in his mind. He finally knew where the sense of disharmony came from!
But after thinking it through, his face became even gloomier.
He found that he could not hear Zhiyu's voice.
Jiang Zhaorong's heart suddenly sank, as if he had missed something important.
…
Although Liu Zhijie’s mansion was not very big, the bedroom was quite large. Jiang Zhiyu glanced around and nodded inwardly.
[Not bad, very suitable for playing the game of blindfolding and catching the concubine!]
Another strange term, He Yanting was already used to it.
However, from the literal meaning of this term, He Yanting already felt its impropriety.
At such a young age, what was in his mind?
He Yanting put his fist to his lips to block the corners of his mouth that were gradually rising.
Qingyi climbed onto the bed. Perhaps it was out of habit, as soon as he got on the bed, his waist collapsed and a certain part of his body naturally bulged.
Jiang Zhiyu: "..."
He Yanting: "..."
Realizing that something was wrong, Qingyi's old face turned red and he stood up straight: "Sir, the secret room is behind you, blocked by the cabinet, please move it."
He Yanting stretched out his hand and pushed, and the cabinet slid smoothly to the side, revealing the secret room door behind him. Qingyi pulled the mechanism and the door opened.
Torches were installed on both sides of the secret room wall, illuminating the secret room. It was more like a storage room than a secret room, without any mechanism. At the end, there were ancient paintings, rare treasures, and two boxes of antidotes placed in the corner that Liu Zhijie had looted.
Jiang Zhiyu used his divine pupil technique to take a look and confirmed that the antidote had not been tampered with, then he ordered: "Go and have someone move it outside the city gate and distribute it to the people outside the city, telling them that they only need to take one pill to be effective, and let them collect it according to the number of people in their families."
Qingyi nodded.
"By the way," he turned around and was about to leave, but then he remembered something and turned back to Jiang Zhiyu, saying softly: "You two nobles don't know that there are mountain bandits outside Jinzhou City. Liu Zhijie was unwilling to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits, so he reached an agreement with them to offer them property and women every month. Calculating the time, they will soon be here."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded lightly.
...
Outside Jinzhou City, every citizen received a bowl of porridge in their hands, eating it voraciously, with tears on their faces.
I don't know who cried first, but then there were more and more, miserable cries that echoed in my ears.
Xu Yaowen looked at the scene in front of him, clenched his teeth, and his eyes were slightly red.
The people kept thanking him. Xu Yaowen narrowed his eyes, raised his fists, bent over and bowed three times to everyone.
"No need to thank me. As the prefect, I have not fulfilled my duties. I, Xu Yaowen, apologize to everyone here!" It was
the first time for the people to experience such a scene. Their lips trembled, and there was suspicion and numbness in their eyes.
But there was no trust.
Xu Yaowen himself knew that it was impossible to make them trust him with just a few words, and he didn't feel very disappointed. After saying that, he continued to distribute porridge.
The sound of wheels came from behind, and the guards took two boxes of antidote off the car and told Xu Yaowen what Jiang Zhiyu had said. Xu Yaowen asked the guards to organize everyone to line up and take them one by one.
On the hillside not far away, a large group of bandits were squatting, closely watching the movements outside the city gate.
One of them asked doubtfully: "Brother, why do I feel that this situation is not right? How can Liu Zhijie be so kind, giving out porridge and medicine? Didn't he ask these people to hand over all the food they had stored at home in exchange for medicine a few days ago?"
The man who was called the eldest brother spat softly upon hearing this: "Officials think one thing at a time, who can know what he is thinking? Anyway, we should just take what we should take."
Someone next to the eldest brother blinked slightly: "I heard that a senior official from Shengjing is coming to Jinzhou, and I guess these are his work." He paused, and then said: "Brother, do you think we should do something big? My sword has not been unsheathed for a long time, and it is getting rusty."
His tone was full of inducement: "Brother, think about it, these officials are used to being comfortable in Shengjing. Even if they have bodyguards around them, they are certainly no match for us who have really killed people and seen blood. They are all delicate and tender, and I'm sure they would be so scared that they would pee their pants when they see us, hahahaha."
He laughed out loud, and the people next to him also echoed him out of respect.
"The high-ranking official in Shengjing must have a lot of treasures on him. We won't take his life. After we finish this job," he stretched out his two hands and boasted in front of everyone: "At least we don't have to go out of the mountains for so many years!"
"This..." The eldest brother hesitated, and a big man behind him took the opportunity to interrupt and said: "Several leaders are not here, why don't you go back to the mountain and make a long-term plan?"
"Go back to the mountain?" The big man who proposed to take action sneered: "How long can such an official stay in our remote place? By the time you go back and tell the boss and come back, the opportunity will be gone."
