Chapter 133 Food Arrives
"Owner of the post." Gong Ye walked in and looked at Mo Rigen with a serious expression.
"how?"
Gong Ye replied, "Tao Liniang..."
After looking at Morigen again, Gong Ye continued, "Tao Liniang strangled Jin'er to death with her own hands, and then... took Jin'er's body and threw herself into the river."
"..." After hearing this, Mo Rigen covered his chest with his hands and opened his mouth, unable to make a sound.
His throat was tight, and he couldn't make a sound, let alone breathe.
"Where are their bodies?" The conversation between Ling Chan and Gong Ye came into his ears.
"Outside."
Outside...Li Niang and Jin Er are outside.
Mo Rigen screamed and tried hard to break free from the ropes that bound him.
The explosive power of a person under such extreme sadness is amazing, so this time he really broke free from the rope.
Gong Ye and Gong Qing tried to stop him but failed.
Ling Chan followed Mo Rigen out, and Gong Ye and Gong Qing followed closely behind.
"Li Niang, Jin'er." Mo Rigen pounced directly on the two corpses, one big and one small.
Mogkin was strangled to death by Tao Liniang, and a small hand-shaped bruise appeared on his neck.
"Tao Li'niang is so cruel. She pinched Jin'er and never let go no matter how Jin'er struggled." Gong Ye whispered to Ling Chan.
Ling Chan sighed. It was true that Tao Liniang hated Mo Rigen, but it was also true that they had been in love for more than ten or twenty years.
But the truth was too cruel. She hated the Dahe people so much that she could not accept the fact that she married a Dahe person and gave birth to Dahe's bloodline. What's more, it was she who took the initiative to ask to marry Morigen.
She also couldn't accept that her child was being trained by Morigen as a Dahe spy...
So she ended Jin'er's life with her own hands.
As for herself... like her mother, she chose to jump into the river, perhaps wanting to wash away the traces of the Great Hexagon on her body in the river water.
Mo Rigen cried heartbreakingly, attracting others.
Xiao Jin and Pei'er also came out.
"What's going on?" Xiao Jin asked.
Ling Chan, Gong Ye and others who knew the situation did not answer him.
When Pei'er saw the corpse, she hugged Xiao Jin's arm in fear and said in a delicate voice, "Master, Pei'er is scared."
Ling Chan glanced at them...
Then Xiao Jin patted Pei'er's hand and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Pei'er, I'm here, everything will be fine."
Ling Chan felt a tightness in her chest and felt inexplicably unhappy.
Mo Rigen finally stopped crying after a while. While helping Tao Liniang and Jin'er to tidy up, he said to Ling Chan...
"Marquis Zhenbei, Dahe and Daqi have been at war for years, and the ones who have suffered... have always been the ordinary people of the two countries."
"Those of us who work as secret agents are actually ordinary people of Dahe."
"If you don't have any other choice, no one would want to go to another country and do such precarious work."
"I often lie awake at night, dreaming of peace between the two countries. Then I wouldn't have to hide it from Li Niang, and I wouldn't have to instill hatred between the two countries in Jin Er."
"Our family can live a peaceful life."
Mo Rigen first glanced at the place where he had just been imprisoned and said, "The owner of the drug store is innocent. I don't know the so-called accomplice. He might have sent someone to keep an eye on me."
He retracted his gaze and looked at Ling Chan, his eyes softening a lot, "As for the people who came to me, they should be from Juxian Villa."
"I saw the token with the character 'Xian' on his waist."
Xian character token? !
Ling Chan remembered that the head of Juxian Villa, Jiang Chenyang, had a token with the word "Xian" on his waist, and the two elders behind him also had them. But the disciples below... it seemed that only two or three had them.
In other words, not everyone in Juxian Villa can have a token with the word "Xian" on it. One must be of high status or have good martial arts skills?
This also means that the person who is looking for Morigen is a senior executive in Juxian Villa.
Mo Rigen suddenly stood up and pulled out Gong Ye's sword.
Gong Ye looked at Ling Chan and didn't notice his actions. When she reacted, Mo Rigen had already wiped his neck.
"Marquis Zhenbei... bury me, Li Niang, and Jin'er together... Please, please..." Mo Rigen begged Ling Chan before he died.
Gong Ye stepped forward to check his breathing and said, "The host is dead."
"Let's bury him." Ling Chan said.
"Then..." Gong Ye hesitated, "Buried in the same place?"
"Let's bury Tao Li Niang and Jin Er next to their parents."
"As for Mo Rigen, just burn it."
Ling Chan did not agree to Morigen to bury him and Tao Liniang together.
I believe Tao Li'niang would not want to do that either, that would be so disgusting.
As for Jin'er, she is actually Tao Liniang's child...
Ling Chan sighed and walked up to Xiao Jin. "Da He sent many spies to Da Qi, and there are also people hiding in the underworld who are specifically responsible for contacting and controlling these secret agents and spies."
"You also heard that there is one in Juxian Villa."
Ling Chan told him her guess, "I suspect it's the elder of Juxian Villa."
After all, judging from their age, it is unlikely that those young disciples had been in contact with Morigen for more than ten years.
There is also the accomplice that Xiao Jin brought back. It is very likely that he was sent to monitor Morigen's family because Morigen and Tao Liniang got married.
"There's also someone in the Daqi Army who's in contact with him named Qi."
The two did not avoid Pei'er during their conversation, and Pei'er maintained her posture, leaning weakly against Xiao Jin.
Because they learned that the girl from Qingyi Tower was going to bring food and other people from the martial arts world would arrive one after another, Ling Chan and Xiao Jin were not in a hurry to return to the military camp.
"Original Post Master, the owner of the drug store has put it back." Gong Ye came over to report.
Although Mo Rigen said that the owner of the drug store was not a suspect, Ling Chan still asked them to check the owner's ancestors and let him go only after finding no suspicion.
As for Mo Rigen's companion, he was much tougher than Mo Rigen. Ling Chan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and just shot him to death.
"OP..." Gong Ye hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" Ling Chan asked.
"Rui... Lieutenant General Xiao took Pei'er out again." Gong Ye was very dissatisfied with Xiao Jin's behavior.
With two countries at war, he, a prince with a military post, was obsessed with women...
"And this one called Pei'er is really good too."
"Deputy General Xiao doesn't look like a good person with that mask on. How dare she follow him like that?"
Ling Chan chuckled at this, "Yeah, then tell me, why did she dare to follow?"
"How should I know..." Gong Ye didn't finish his words, his eyes widened, "OP, what do you mean?"
Ling Chan nodded slightly. From the moment Xiao Jin and Pei'er appeared at the gate of the yard, she knew something was wrong.
Although the few months she and Xiao Jin spent together at Fuyun Villa were not enough for her to understand him 100%, she still understood him about 70% to 80%.
He is not the kind of person who would casually bring back a strange woman from the street, especially at such a sensitive time.
And Pei'er...both in terms of personality and the way they met, she is too similar to one person.
That person is... Gong Zhou's mother, Gong Taining's concubine, a haenyeo!
This is also the reason why Ling Chan mentioned the "second generation of spies" to Mo Rigen.
"Don't worry about them. Vice Admiral Xiao knows what's going on."
"Yeah." Miyaba finally relaxed.
The next day, the sisters behind the Qingyi Tower arrived in Wufang County with carts of food. Jiang Chenyang and his group from Juxian Villa also arrived with them.
Ling Chan first exchanged greetings with Jiang Chenyang, and during this time she looked around at the people behind him.
There are some familiar ones, and some unfamiliar ones.
"The princess has met these people at Floating Cloud Villa. These two are also elders of our Juxian Villa, and the other three are disciples."
That is... all four elders appeared...
Ling Chan glanced at them, pretending to greet them one by one, but in fact she was looking at their appearance.
Since he is from the Da He Wulin, his appearance must be different from that of the Da Qi people...
However, these four elders seem to have nothing to do with Da He.
Ling Chan looked at the other six disciples again. They were all in their twenties and under thirty. They were still teenagers more than ten years ago. It was impossible for them to be the ones who contacted Mo Rigen.
"This princess is truly fortunate to be able to meet the four elders of Juxian Villa at the same time." Ling Chan smiled.
The names of the four elders are Zang Guan, Wu Yongyan, Wang Fang, and Hu Le, all of which are serious Daqi names.
They all bowed, "You are too polite, Princess."
The accent is also the Daqi accent.
Unable to tell the difference at the moment, Ling Chan could only put the matter aside and go to see the food her sisters had brought.
Originally, Ling Chan thought that the amount of food they were transporting was limited to a few dozen trucks.
I didn't expect that there would be a huge shipment of 200 carts of food.
There was no room for so many carriages to enter the city, so Ling Chan had to let them park outside the north gate.
"Is Qingyi Lou making so much money now?" she couldn't help but ask. She'd only been teaching everyone how to make a living for less than three months...
"Master." A sister came to Ling Chan, twisting her waist and waving a handkerchief. "After you taught me how to transform the brothel into a massage parlor, it became very popular among the ladies."
Ling Chan looked at her raised orchid finger...
The sister put away her orchid finger in embarrassment, "OP, I'm... used to it, I can't change it in a short time, hehe."
She used to run a brothel as a madam, making a living with a dozen prostitutes. Brothels sold art but not bodies, so they didn't attract many customers...business was terrible.
Anqiao Hall is actually a modern massage parlor.
In modern times, Ling Chan once learned massage techniques in order to get close to a certain country's political leader.
I taught them all when we were at Goat Creek.
After returning, the sisters made drastic changes to the brothel and transformed it into a massage parlor with small compartments. They only catered to ladies and girls and did not accept men.
In addition to massage, the massage parlor also provides bathing, back scrubbing, face washing, and hair washing...
"With the nourishing elixir you gave me, I wonder how much those ladies and young ladies will flock to our Qingyi Massage Hall." The sister was so excited that her orchid fingers curled up again.
"Business is booming. I plan to open branches in surrounding cities so that more sisters can make a living."
Ling Chan nodded approvingly, "Okay, if the medicinal elixir I gave you runs out, send someone to tell me."
"Yes, thank you, OP." She bowed gracefully, and Ling Chan felt her bones go limp...
Ling Chan gave her a bottle of elixir and told her to mix one drop of the elixir with a bucket of water every day. Then, when guests came to take a bath, wash their hair, or wash their face, they just had to add a spoonful of the diluted elixir to the water.
The diluted elixir, after further dilution, has a lower concentration and certainly a smaller effect.
But for women and young ladies, even if their skin improves just a little bit, they will notice it immediately.
Therefore, the business of Qingyi Massage Parlor is very good now.
Taking advantage of this trend, they launched the "VIP card" that Ling Chan had taught them, which offered free visits for recharging money.
"You've finally earned some money, why don't you keep some for yourself?" Ling Chan looked at the carriages lined up for a long time outside the city.
There are two hundred carts of grain, each cart carries three thousand jin of grain, and at ten cents per jin, the grain here costs six thousand taels of silver.
"Sisters, now that you have a skill to make a living, why worry about not being able to make money?" The sisters pinched their fingers together and said, "The soldiers at the border aren't fighting for themselves, but for all of Daqi. We should do something for them."
"Besides, our Qingyi Massage Hall is still open and we are making money every day."
"Our foot bath shop is the same. We make money every day." Another sister continued.
They are different from the Qingyi Massage Parlor. They are the Qingyi Foot Bath Parlor, which specializes in serving men. But it is not them who do the service. Instead, they specially hired some guys and trained them.
Men have to walk outside and their legs and feet get tired easily.
Ling Chan also gave the elixir and performed the same operation as at the Qingyi Massage Parlor. After washing and massaging the men's feet, their legs and feet immediately showed improvement. When they left the parlor, their legs and feet felt as light as if they could fly.
Their business is similar to that of the Tsing Yi massage parlor.
Others agreed, and most of the remaining ones were engaged in some unusual food businesses, and their business was pretty good.
"Master, are you still waiting here for the other seniors?" the sisters asked, "Then we can transport the food to the barracks ourselves."
"We rented these carriages and sent them to the military camp, and then they left."
Ling Chan thought about it for a moment and said, "That's fine. I'll ask someone..."
With so much food, someone must escort it.
"Princess, let Zang Guan and the others escort us. They will protect us along the way." Jiang Chenyang gestured to the four elders.
The sisters from Qingyi Tower also nodded to Ling Chan, "Thanks to the protection of the seniors along the way, we were able to escape danger."
Two hundred carts of food, they are walking targets wherever they go.
"No need to trouble the elders. I think... I'll just ask a few young men to escort us." Ling Chan looked at the disciples of Juxian Villa.
She now suspected that there were Da He spies among these elders, so she couldn't let them escort the food alone. It would be better to keep them nearby for easy monitoring.
Jiang Chenyang thought it was okay, so he nodded, "Okay, then...Enji, you take the brothers for a walk."
The disciple named Enji bowed to Jiang Chenyang and said, "Disciple obeys your command."
Then he saluted the four elders and left with the other disciples...
