Yinyue didn't expect that she would be asked to take care of Jinghong Tower, so she asked first.
"Xi'er, where are you going that takes so long? How can Jinghong Tower function without you?"
"I have to go to Shengjing for something. I will write to you regularly. If you have any questions, just write to me."
Rong Xi was lying on the chaise longue, the soreness from last night still hadn't gone away.
After explaining the things in the building, Yinyue was left in the room.
She took out the ten thousand taels of silver note that she had just exchanged for points from her purse and handed it to Yinyue. She was not someone who could trust others easily.
But Yinyue had a similar background to her, and was also picked up by her mother, but she was luckier than Yinyue and was adopted as a daughter by her mother.
"Take this money. If it's not enough, write to me."
"Xi'er, where did you get so many banknotes? Did you do something dangerous?"
Yinyue is four years older than Rongxi, and she has watched Rongxi grow up. They have a very good relationship in private, and she was worried when she heard that she was leaving.
"No, it's not convenient to tell you this now. I'll tell you when the time is right."
Rong Xi still believed in Yin Yue's ability. Almost all the activities in the building were planned by her, and the people below also listened to her arrangements.
Rong Xi left and appeared not far from the alley. Chu Jinzhi's men had already planned to go back and report, but they felt relieved when they saw him come out.
Rong Xi only brought a bag with some clothes in it, and all other important things were placed in the spiritual space.
I have to say that this spiritual space is quite good. Fortunately, I bought it at that time, otherwise this luggage would be a burden wherever I go.
The night before she left, the prefect of Qingyang City found her.
She followed him to the study as if she had expected it.
This prefect looks like a mean person, and it seems that there is a lot of ulterior motive behind his position.
"Boss Jiang, please take a seat."
Rong Xi sat down on the chair without any hesitation, looking at the person in front of him without any hesitation.
"Tell me, what do you want to see me about?"
The prefect's face turned cold when he heard her tone. If he had acted like this in the past, the people around him would have been scared and knelt on the ground to admit their mistakes. In all these years, except for the officials from above, he had never been treated like this before.
Seeing that there was no fear on the pretty face of the woman opposite him, he waited for a while and finally softened his tone.
"Boss Jiang is now following the Admiral. You must remember my kindness in the future. If it weren't for me, Boss Jiang wouldn't be so wealthy."
Rong Xi looked at him with a half-smile in his eyes, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"Yes, if it weren't for the prefect, I would still be in the building doing whatever I wanted. My innocence has been ruined, and I have to thank the prefect."
The prefect didn't believe that a prostitute like her could be innocent, but he still smiled and picked up the teacup in front of him.
"Boss Jiang, what you said is not true. Shengjing is not a place that anyone can go to if they want to. The Admiral is not someone who anyone can cling to. You should know the benefits of this."
"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you want to do."
"Boss Jiang is a straightforward person. If that's the case, then I'll be frank. I hope Boss Jiang will consider that I've helped you get to the top and put in a few good words for me in front of the Admiral. If I get the chance to be transferred to Shengjing, I'll be Boss Jiang's great support in the future."
"Your Excellency, the Prefect, are truly flattering me. Even now, I've only met the Admiral once. How could I possibly agree to this now? Besides..."
Rong Xi stopped talking here and looked at the person in front of him meaningfully, which made the prefect of Qingyang City feel a little guilty.
"Boss Jiang should have been more clear about what he was saying. Besides, what's the matter?"
Rong Xi was not in a hurry to answer her, but took a sip of tea slowly before speaking.
"The Admiral doesn't know my true identity. I guess the Prefect is behind all this. What would happen if the Admiral knew you were lying to him?"
The expression on the prefect's face instantly turned stiff. The admiral had a bad temper and a difficult-to-defend position in the court. He was someone that all officials in Kyoto, big and small, wanted to curry favor with.
If he really found out that he had cheated on him, even if they had no direct business dealings, as soon as he opened his mouth, his boss who had a hold on him would definitely make things difficult for him.
In fact, he didn't want this to happen. The Liu'er he arranged last night somehow ended up in that beast's room.
Boss Jiang just brought his people to the mansion to perform a dance, but was noticed by the beast in the house. This happened by accident.
When Chu Jinzhi sent people to investigate, he hadn't figured out what had happened yet, so he naturally answered according to the original arrangement.
It was not until the servant came to report that Jiang Rongxi had left the house that he figured out what had happened.
He wanted to go over and explain, but he simply couldn't afford to anger the admiral, so he had no choice but to go along with the mistake.
But he didn't expect that the person who was always timid in front of him would become so difficult to control at this time.
"Then what do you want?"
"What I want is very simple. If nothing happens in Jinghong Tower, I won't take the initiative to tell the Admiral about these things. You will naturally be safe. But if your people are stupid enough to spread the news themselves, then it will not be my problem."
What she meant was that she wanted the prefect to protect Jinghong Tower, and he also had to make arrangements for her identity.
The two finally reached a consensus. When Rong Xi returned to the room, he saw Chu Jinzhi already sitting there.
Chu Jinzhi had almost finished dealing with the matters here. In the evening, he had been discussing with his subordinates about the next step of escorting the fugitive.
But the people who followed the woman came back with strange expressions on their faces. When he asked, he found out that one of them had lost someone.
The men under his command are not useless. If they could disappear right under their noses, there must be something going on.
So after finishing my work there, I came to her.
"grown ups!"
Rong Xi spoke first this time, with an expression of fear and shyness still on her face, making Chu Jinzhi unable to tell whether she was pretending or doing it on purpose.
He would never have had this kind of worry in the past. Perhaps he could not see through everything, but the torture instruments in the cell could completely replace his doubts.
In the end, he didn't ask anything. He could keep her by his side, but he could also make her regret scheming against him at any time.
"Well, everything is done."
"Um!"
"I'll ask you again, you volunteered to follow me to Shengjing."
Rong Xi nodded at him with a blush.
