Chapter 415 Strange Things
Dong Zhaoyi's expression didn't change when she heard her say that. She just asked curiously, "I wonder why Miss Jiang is waiting for her? Ping'er is just a lowly palace maid."
"Just a low-ranking palace maid?" Jiang Yunxi looked at her with a half-smile.
"She was just a low-ranking maid in Zhilan Palace." Dong Zhaoyi looked at her without changing her expression.
Jiang Yunxi curled her red lips and said lightly, "Aren't you the low-ranking palace maid?"
Dong Zhaoyi's expression instantly turned ugly. "Miss Jiang, what do you mean?"
"You are not Dong Zhaoyi." Jiang Yunxi said very confidently.
"Miss Jiang, you, she is not Dong Zhaoyi?" Eunuch Jiang's face changed drastically, and he looked at Dong Zhaoyi. He remembered that she looked like this when she entered the palace.
"Miss Jiang, you said I am not Dong Zhaoyi. You must produce evidence, otherwise I will go to the emperor to seek justice." Dong Zhaoyi was so angry that her chest kept heaving.
"When I met you four Zhaoyi this morning, I already suspected you. Do you know why? Because from your face, I can tell you're not destined for wealth and honor."
"I'm not looking down on you. It's just the fact that after looking at your face, first of all, you don't have a beautiful forehead. Secondly, your nose bridge is not high and straight, and the nose tip is not fleshy. Your ears are thin but not small. You don't have any of the signs of wealth and nobility."
"Also, you don't have a trace of nobility. This is what makes you very different from the other three Zhaoyi." Jiang Yunxi said bluntly.
"Hey, after taking a closer look, she really doesn't look wealthy at all." Eunuch Jiang said after taking a look. He had never noticed it before, after all, she was not favored.
"How ridiculous! You can tell from my face that I'm not destined to be rich." Dong Zhaoyi said coldly.
Jiang Yunxi continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you are a maid, and Ping'er is your daughter, Dong Zhaoyi."
Dong Zhaoyi clutched her handkerchief tightly under her sleeves. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh my god, you're so bold! You actually dared to impersonate Dong Zhaoyi. Miss Jiang, should we send someone to the laundry bureau to look for that Ping'er, oh, the real Dong Zhaoyi?"
Eunuch Jiang said angrily that it seemed that the master and servant were the murderers.
"No need to go, she will come back." Jiang Yunxi was not in a hurry. Ping'er must have already known about their coming here. There was a formation in Zhilan Palace.
The moment she came in, she knew the murderer was here.
Eunuch Jiang: “…”
Whatever she says is what it is.
Now he couldn't help but admire this Miss Jiang. She was indeed a genius.
It takes about a cup of tea.
The palace maid named Ping'er is back.
When Jiang Yunxi saw the other person come in, she knew she was the masked woman in white from last night, "Dong Zhaoyi, you're back."
"All of you go down." Ping'er looked at Dong Zhaoyi and Nanny Song.
The two looked at her and then left.
"If you are the descendant of a loyal general, I believe you will not kill innocent people. You haven't touched those missing unmarried women yet, right?" Jiang Yunxi looked at her.
"I didn't move. How did the girl suspect me?" Ping'er found a place to sit down with a calm face.
"Eight years ago, General Chang led 5,000 soldiers and was completely annihilated in Lingnan Road. Someone reported that it was because he insisted on sending troops that they all died tragically. In the end, the general's mansion was confiscated and he was exiled."
"Recently, many ministers and officials have died in the capital. I had their families interrogated and learned that many of the deceased had received large sums of money eight years ago."
"This is the commonality among the deceased. I guess they died because of this money. The only major event eight years ago was the Lingnan Road incident. I guess someone is seeking revenge for the Chang family."
"The evil spirit in the capital comes from the clouds. You came out from there last night. My talisman tells me that you are in the palace. Six years ago, four new concubines arrived in the harem."
"When I saw her this morning, I realized that Dong Zhaoyi didn't look like a Zhaoyi. She had just arrived at Zhilan Palace, and you happened to be away. I guessed that she was not a Zhaoyi, but a maid named Ping'er."
"Although the woman wrapped herself tightly last night, when I saw you, I knew you were her." Jiang Yunxi said slowly.
"You are really smart, girl. After the Chang family was confiscated and exiled, they all died before they even reached the place of exile." When Ping'er said this, her eyes turned red and her face was rippled.
"Then who are you?" Jiang Yunxi was curious about her identity.
"I am the twin daughter of the Chang family. I was born with special abilities. A master came to my house and said that I was not mature enough, so I went to Tianji Sect."
"My parents would find a chance to visit me at Tianji Gate, but outsiders didn't know of my existence until eight years ago, when I didn't wait for them."
"When I quietly returned to the capital, I learned that the Chang family had been confiscated and exiled. My father and my eldest and second brothers died in the war, and my grandmother, mother, and sister died tragically on the way to exile."
"The Chang family is clearly full of loyal and brave people. My father, elder brother, and second brother are all steady people who treat the soldiers as their own family. How could they possibly risk their lives?"
"I was fifteen years old at that time. Although I learned some skills at Tianji Sect, they were not strong enough. For the next two years, I studied diligently at Tianji Sect and investigated the affairs of Lingnan Dao."
"It's not that my father was reckless. They embezzled military rations and deliberately gave my father wrong information. That's why my father led his troops to war, but they were completely wiped out in the end."
"Back then, the prefect bribed Prime Minister Fu and his men to prevent the matter from being discovered. I disguised myself and reported the matter to the authorities, but they protected me and refused to give me a chance to clear the Chang family's name. They even threatened to kill me."
"In that case, I can only change my identity and enter the palace, and then kill them in my own way." Ping'er said coldly. All the people who participated back then were dead.
Of course there is one last one, and that is the tyrant monarch!
He deserves to die too!
"So that's how it is. You killed well." Jiang Yunxi believed her words.
Eunuch Jiang: “…”
How can this be considered a good killing? She also wants to kill the emperor!
Ping'er was stunned and looked at Jiang Yunxi in surprise. She actually said that she did a good job in killing. This was the first time that an outsider supported her actions after hearing it.
"Prime Minister Fu and his men deserve to die, but their daughter was not involved. What do you want to do by arresting them?" Jiang Yunxi didn't quite understand her approach.
"My mother and sister were bullied and tortured to death. They were so desperate and painful before they died. Why can their daughters live a life of luxury?" Ping'er said hatefully, gritting her teeth.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Just kill the person who should be killed. As for the emperor, he has been kept in the dark. I believe that after he knows the truth, he will clear the Chang family's name and deal with the families of Prime Minister Fu and others."
"You can't kill those girls, and your family won't support you killing them. Now come with me to see the emperor." Jiang Yunxi said and stood up to leave.
Ping'er thought of her family and finally got up and followed Jiang Yunxi.
After knowing everything, the emperor was furious. He never expected that the truth behind the annihilation of the Lingnan army eight years ago was like this. He immediately arranged for the Ministry of Justice to investigate.
After finding out the truth, he will clear the Chang family's name.
"Your Majesty, although Miss Chang killed people, she only killed those who deserved to die. You confiscated the Chang family's property and exiled them, and all the others were killed. I hope you will forgive her and let her leave the palace." Jiang Yunxi said.
"After the investigation is thorough, I will clear the Chang family's name and let her leave the palace." The emperor said solemnly. The most innocent ones are the Chang family, and Prime Minister Fu and other damn bastards.
"Let those girls go." Jiang Yunxi said to Ping'er.
"I promise you." Ping'er nodded. All she wanted was the Chang family's innocence. If she hadn't been forced to do so, she wouldn't have deliberately planned to kill them.
Jiang Yunxi looked at her and said, "You are the descendant of a loyal general and have great abilities. I hope you will help those who need help in the future and not use your abilities to harm others."
She is indeed very capable. I didn't expect that she is from Tianji Sect.
"I will." Ping'er said. Her parents taught her how to behave since she was a child. They said that she should learn skills in Tianji Sect and become a hero who saves the world in the future.
Jiang Yunxi looked towards the emperor and said, "Nothing else, let's go."
After saying that, she strode away.
Zhan Beiyuan followed.
emperor:"……"
The two of them left the palace directly, and then it was time for them to set off for the next place.
"Did you notice anything strange?" Jiang Yunxi suddenly stopped.
