Chapter 295 Important News (Part 2)
The maid beside the woman whispered, "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't allow people to fight on the streets now!"
The woman looked at Jiang Zhiluo's face with jealousy and cruelty in her eyes. She said, "The Crown Prince is busy with all sorts of things. How can he have time to care about these trivial matters? Besides, what's wrong with me teaching a bitch a lesson? How can the Crown Prince still hold it against me?"
"Besides, if I don't teach these two untouchables a lesson, the Crown Prince will vent his anger on my behalf."
Pei Jingyan looked very proud.
He doesn't take Jiang Zhiluo and Qiao Mengmeng seriously at all.
She even thought about cutting Pei Jingyan's face on the spot.
"What are you waiting for? Go up and teach them a lesson!"
Pei Jingyan raised her head and looked at Jiang Zhiluo with contempt, saying, "Or maybe if you kneel down and apologize to me and beg for mercy, I might spare your life!"
Pei Jingyan played with the long nails in her hands and walked forward to cut Jiang Zhiluo's face with her own hands.
A guard and a maid beside her also stepped forward to restrain Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo grabbed Pei Jingyan's hand and exerted force. With a "crack", Pei Jingyan's hand broke.
"ah!"
Pei Jingyan was in great pain.
As for the guards, old women and maids around her, Jiang Zhiluo knocked them to the ground in just a few moves.
"How dare you, do you know who I am?
"How dare you treat me like this? I think you don't want to stay in Jiangzhou anymore. You are looking for death!"
"I am the daughter of the Pei family. Killing you is as easy as killing an ant!"
Jiang Zhiluo's lips curled up in a mocking arc, "I don't care who you are. If you want to bully others by taking advantage of your power, you have to see if my fist will agree!"
As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo stepped forward, grabbed Miss Pei's hair, and pushed her hard to the ground.
"bump!"
Miss Pei was pressed hard to the ground.
Jiang Zhiluo forced her to kneel down in front of Qiao Mengmeng, "Speak to my Mengmeng!
"Ah! Bitch, if you dare, I will never let you go, my father will never let you go..."
Pei Jingyan screamed and yelled.
After a while, many people on the street gathered to watch.
Jiang Zhiluo shouted, "Young Miss Pei bumped into a little girl, but not only did she not apologize, she even tried to bully her and threatened us with the Pei family. Is this your Pei family's style?"
"I'd like to learn from you!"
When the onlookers heard the name Pei family, their expressions changed.
"Miss Pei?"
"I heard that Miss Pei is going to be betrothed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Yes, whoever dares to mess with Miss Pei at this time might become the Empress in the future."
"Ms. Pei is not worthy of such a good grandson."
"But the Pei family is a salt merchant, with money and food. Since their daughter is following His Royal Highness, the Pei family will naturally support His Royal Highness with money and food!"
"This young master is quite understanding, but it's also true that the Crown Prince doesn't allow his soldiers to take a single needle, thread, or grain of rice from the common people. So what do the soldiers eat? With the help of the Pei family, we have indeed solved a lot of hunger problems."
…
Everyone was discussing this, and Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed slightly as she listened.
Not really?
Yun Luoxiao is such a smart person, so he naturally wouldn't use this as a bargaining chip.
Besides, this young lady from the Pei family is not worthy of Yun Luoxiao at all.
But she also understood Yun Luoxiao. If this arrangement was really made, Yun Luoxiao would only have to sacrifice himself to obtain money and food for his subordinates.
Moreover, Yun Luoxiao also had principles in doing things. Although he arrested some corrupt officials and wealthy people who oppressed the people, the food and silver were not enough to cover the army's expenses.
Yun Luoxiao has to find a way.
Pei Jingyan was still cursing at this time.
Jiang Zhiluo once again communicated with the elf Xiaolan through her thoughts.
"Xiao Lan, what's going on?"
"Master, this person is the eldest daughter of the Pei family, but she was born to the original wife."
"When she was two years old, the original wife of the Pei family died, and the head of the Pei family married a second wife. This second wife did not dare to abuse Pei Jingyan in person, but she treated Pei Jingyan with flattery."
"The stepmother brought up her own children well, but this legitimate daughter was raised to be vicious, spoiled and domineering."
"But Patriarch Pei has feelings for his original wife. He doesn't know what's going on in the backyard, and he doesn't know how much a woman's thoughts can be. He just thinks this lady dotes on Pei Jingyan..."
"Right now, Patriarch Pei is indeed negotiating with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give Pei Jingyan to him. He thinks that after the Crown Prince inherits the throne, Pei Jingyan will definitely become a noble concubine."
"It's just that His Royal Highness didn't agree!"
Since the space elf Xiaolan regained great abilities, it can know a lot of things.
Jiang Zhiluo frowned and asked, "Did Yun Luoxiao agree?"
"No. His Royal Highness is negotiating with Patriarch Pei. Patriarch Pei is a stubborn person. He relies on his ancestors' kindness to Yun State and the red seal of trust, and he won't listen to His Royal Highness's advice at all."
"Because of the Red Book and Iron Certificate incident, the Crown Prince cannot touch the Pei family either."
"Because this is a red decree issued by the Emperor Taizu of Yun State. If you touch the Pei family, His Royal Highness will give you something to criticize."
After hearing this, Jiang Zhiluo understood what was going on.
She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Does the Pei family have a lot of food and silver?"
Xiao Lan said, "The Pei family is the most powerful family in Jiangzhou. They have the final say in Jiangzhou. They have been operating banks and salt businesses for many years and have also purchased a lot of grain."
"However, the Crown Prince doesn't know where the Pei family's food is stored, so he can only deal with him first."
If Pei Jingyan didn't provoke her, she might not care about so many things.
But since Pei Jingyan had provoked her, she had to take care of the matter.
"Xiao Lan, if the Pei family loses the Danshu Tiequan, and you say Yun Luoxiao wants to punish them, then we don't have to worry so much, right?"
Xiao Lan said, "Of course you can. Without the Red Book of Iron Certificate, the Pei family won't dare to act so recklessly!"
Jiang Zhiluo continued to communicate with Xiaolan through her mind, "Besides, such a large clan can't really be so clean."
"Yes, yes. There are important secret letters in the Pei family's study. They reveal that the Pei family is colluding with the imperial court and corrupt officials to murder others."
Jiang Zhiluo asked, "Then do you know where their red seal and iron certificate are kept?"
"I know, I know. There's a secret room on the first floor of the Pei family's library. There's a mechanism inside..."
Xiaolan told Jiang Zhiluo all the information.
"Then do you know the location of the granary?"
Xiao Lan suddenly said, "Master, I don't have enough energy. I need to sleep. I will tell you the news in two days."
If Xiao Lan tells Jiang Zhiluo some important news, it will consume a lot of energy.
So sometimes when it consumes too much energy, it needs to rest.
Jiang Zhiluo will quickly enhance her maternal abilities to replenish its energy.
But the information we know now is enough.
Jiang Zhiluo prepared to visit the Pei family at night.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Pei Jingyan who was wailing and cursing, and snorted coldly, "Apologize. If you don't apologize, do you believe I will scratch your face with your nails?"
