He Yanting stared at everyone, but his ears were already perked up.
Needless to say, he felt that the name sounded familiar.
[Oh, now I remember, many male favorites in novels have this name.]
[Let me take a look at this Qingyi—Wow, she's really a male concubine!]
He Yanting: “…”
[It's true, this male favorite is quite capable of handling things. He has Liu Zhijie completely lost in his thoughts. He doesn't leave all the affairs of the inner house to the wife of the principal room, but instead leaves them to him. When he's outside, he's his confidant.]
[He's really the boss and confidant during the day, and the ghost and treasure at night.]
【The city knows how to have fun! 】
He Yanting: “…”
"Take me to the secret room." Jiang Zhiyu paused for a moment as he passed by Jiang Zhaorong. "Oh, look at me. I forgot the Prime Minister was still kneeling. Please stand up quickly, Prime Minister."
Jiang Zhaorong stood up without changing his expression.
"If the Prime Minister has something to do, please go ahead and do it. 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 for you."
identity……
He Yanting looked at Jiang Zhaorong with a deep look in his eyes.
Jiang Zhiyu left after saying this, leaving Jiang Zhaorong with a turbulent heart.
But he forgot that since Jiang Zhiyu knew so many secrets, did she also know about this matter?
No, that's not right.
It's been so long since this happened that even he, the person involved, is confused now. How could she possibly 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 gloomy as the winter sky, terrifyingly so.
The servant beside him didn't dare to say a word.
After a while, he said with a dry throat, "I'm going to do something. 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 that sense of disharmony came from!
But after thinking it through, his face became even gloomier.
He discovered that he could no longer hear the young fish's voices.
Jiang Zhaorong's heart suddenly sank, as if he had missed something important.
…
Although Liu Zhijie's mansion was not large, his bedroom was very large. Jiang Zhiyu looked around and nodded in his heart.
[Not bad, very suitable for playing the game of blindfolding and catching concubines! ]
Another strange term, but He Yanting is no longer surprised by it.
However, from the literal meaning of this term, He Yanting already felt that it was not proper.
At such a young age, what's going on in your mind?
He Yanting put his fist to his lips to stop the corners of his mouth from 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 out.
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
He Yanting: “…”
Realizing something was wrong, Qing Yi's face flushed and he straightened up: "My dear, the secret room is behind you. It's 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 door of the secret room behind it. Qingyi pulled the mechanism and the door opened.
There were torches on both sides of the walls of the secret room, lighting up the room. It was more like a storage room without any mechanisms. At the end, there were ancient paintings, rare treasures collected by Liu Zhijie, and two boxes of antidotes in the corner.
Jiang Zhiyu used his divine pupil technique to take a look and confirmed that the antidote had not been tampered with. Then he ordered, "Have someone carry it outside the city gate and distribute it to the people outside the city. Tell them that only one pill is needed for the effect to be effective. Let them collect according to the number of people in their family."
Qingyi nodded in agreement.
"Oh, right," he turned to leave when he remembered something. He turned back to Jiang Zhiyu and whispered, "My two nobles, you don't know that outside Jinzhou City are bandits. Liu Zhijie doesn't want to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits, so he reached an agreement with them to offer them money and women every month. Calculating the time, they will be here soon."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded slightly.
…
Outside Jinzhou City, every citizen held a bowl of porridge in their hands and ate it voraciously with tears on their faces.
I don’t know who cried out first, but then one miserable cry after another followed, lingering in my ears for three circles.
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, clasped his fists, bent down, and bowed three times to everyone.
"No need to thank me. It's my fault that I failed to fulfill my duties as the prefect. I, Xu Yaowen, would like to apologize to you all!"
Experiencing such a scene for the first time, the people's lips trembled and there was suspicion and numbness in their eyes.
The only thing missing is trust.
Xu Yaowen himself knew that it was impossible to gain their trust with just a few words, so he did not feel disappointed at all. He continued to distribute porridge after he finished speaking.
The sound of wheels came from behind. The guards driving the car took two boxes of antidote out of the car and told Xu Yaowen what Jiang Zhiyu had said. Xu Yaowen asked the guards to organize everyone to line up and receive the antidotes 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 in confusion, "Brother, why do I feel like this isn't right? How can Liu Zhijie be so kind, giving out porridge and medicine? Didn't he ask these people to hand over all their stored food in exchange for medicine a few days ago?"
The man called Big Brother spat softly upon hearing this: "Officials act on impulse. Who can know what they are thinking? Anyway, just take what we deserve."
Someone next to the eldest brother blinked slightly and said, "I heard that a high-ranking official from Shengjing is coming to Jinzhou. I guess these are his work." He paused and said, "Brother, do you think we should do something big? My sword has not been unsheathed for a long time and is about to rust."
His tone was full of inducement: "Brother, think about it, these officials are used to the comforts of Shengjing. Even if they have guards around them, they are definitely no match for us who have killed people and seen blood. Those delicate skinned and tender fleshed people will probably wet their pants when they see us, hahahaha."
He laughed out loud, and the people around him also agreed with him out of courtesy.
"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 shook them exaggeratedly in front of everyone: "At least we won't have to leave the mountain for so many years!"
"This..." The eldest brother hesitated. A large man behind him took the opportunity to interrupt and said, "The leaders are all away. Why don't we go back to the top of the mountain and discuss it carefully?"
"Go back to the mountain?" The big man who suggested a move scoffed at the words, "How long can an official like that stay in this remote place like ours? By the time you go back and tell the boss, it will be too late to come back."
