Chapter 302 Bearing the Cause and Effect
At the dock, a man in white followed by a woman hurriedly boarded a ship.
It was the masked man who escaped from the underground palace.
The two entered the cabin, the masked man's face grim.
The woman stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Qin Jinzhi is indeed exceptionally intelligent; she actually saw through our scheme that we've been setting up for so long."
The masked man clenched his fist. "My sister is right. Without Qin Jinzhi's death, the hegemony will be impossible to achieve."
The woman draped a cloak over him and said, “The Elysium has been destroyed. Will the princess be angry? After all, we did not inform the princess about this operation.”
The masked man, however, did not seem to care.
"Qin Jinzhi has long had her eye on Paradise. She will abandon it sooner or later. I just didn't expect Qin Jinzhi to have the audacity to mobilize troops without permission. If anyone in the capital knew that his beloved granddaughter had mobilized troops behind his back, what would they think?"
"Unauthorized troop deployment? Who said I deployed troops without authorization?"
As Qin Jinzhi carried Si Sha out of the main hall, she saw Gongshu Zhi waiting outside.
Gongshu Zhi was somewhat worried; military power was no joke.
This brat is incredibly audacious, actually mobilizing the Zhenbei Army without authorization!
Gongshu Zhi had a look on his face that said, "Do you think I'm blind?"
Tu Feng was right behind her.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "These soldiers weren't actually transferred to Jiangnan by me."
Tu Feng stepped forward and said, "Young Master, let me do it."
He was about to take over the quadra kill.
Qin Jinzhi shook her head. "No need. You are no match for Si Sha. If she suddenly wakes up, your life will be in danger."
Tu Feng had no choice but to follow behind Qin Jinzhi.
“Young Master, the passages in this underground palace not only connect to the Yihong Courtyard, but we have also found several other passages leading to several brothels in Yangzhou City.”
Qin Jinzhi's expression was cold. "Paradise has only been established for a few years, yet it has developed so rapidly. Issue the order to seal off all the brothels involved and arrest all the owners of the brothels and bring them to me."
"yes!"
Gongshu Zhi just went into the main hall and took a walk around.
The main hall is filled with hidden mechanisms.
This person must have a master of mechanical manipulation by his side.
However, these marks do not appear to be the work of the Mohists or the Gongshu School.
Have any new schools of thought emerged in recent years?
He walked to Qin Jinzhi's side and said, "I just overheard that person outside the palace saying that this little girl was specifically prepared to assassinate you. Send her away. I saw it clearly outside the palace. This little girl would rather kill herself than hurt you. If someone with ulterior motives knows how to control her, it will be detrimental to both of you if she gets out of control."
Qin Jinzhi simply lifted the four-killer on her back and said, "I picked her up, and I can bear all the consequences."
Quadra Kill would rather kill himself than do anything to harm her, and she would never abandon Quadra Kill.
Luo Shui looked at Qin Jinzhi's back; she had stood in front of her in the same way back then.
She saved her from dire straits when everyone called her a witch and wanted to burn her alive.
She casually wiped away the tears that had seeped from the corners of her eyes.
Instead of taking the underground passage, the group took the mountain path.
The mechanical tricks have been broken, and this is not a desolate mountain.
After descending the mountain, Luo Shui suddenly stopped and said to Qin Jinzhi, "Lend me A Jing and A Ming, I need to go back to Qishan."
Qin Jinzhi frowned and asked, "What are you going back to Qishan for?"
Luo Shui took out a powder box from her sleeve and began to apply large amounts of powder to her face.
"Visiting relatives."
Qin Jinzhi's eyes darkened, and the words "You have no family" circled on her lips but she didn't say them.
She looked at A Jing and A Ming behind her, "I'll wait for you in the capital. If there's any danger, take Luo Shui and escape immediately."
Ah Jing and Ah Ming nodded immediately, "Don't worry, boss!"
Qin Jinzhi took out a silver note worth ten thousand taels from her bosom.
Luo Shui put the powder box into her sleeve and did not accept the silver.
"I'll ask you for it when I get back to Beijing."
She waved her hand and said, "Ah Jing, Ah Ming, let's go."
After watching her back for a moment, Qin Jinzhi turned and walked towards Yangzhou City.
Half of the Zhenbei Army remained in the underground palace to guard and comfort the abducted women.
Half of them followed Tu Feng back to Yangzhou City to seal off a number of brothels and arrest criminals.
Only Qin Jinzhi, Si Sha, and Gongshu Zhi remained.
Even in a coma, the Four Killers' brows remained furrowed.
Qin Jinzhi weighed the four kills in her hand again, singing a folk lullaby to lull a child to sleep.
The wind is gentle, the clouds are drifting, and the baby obediently closes its eyes.
The stars twinkle, the moon hangs like a boat, sweet dreams accompany you until dawn.
Rock-a-bye, sway-sway-sway, the baby, like a flower, lies in the warm bed.
The insects are quiet, the birds are hidden, sleep well, drift off to sleep.
Moonlight spills through the small window, making the baby look like a butterfly.
The blankets are warm, the pillows smell sweet, drift off to sleep and enjoy a long dream.
The quiet night was filled with Qin Jinzhi's gentle voice.
Si Sha's furrowed brows slowly relaxed upon hearing that voice.
Gongshu Zhi, standing behind her, inexplicably burst into tears.
Ziyi, your daughter is really good.
I wonder if she heard these lullabies when she was a child.
Mingming had promised Ziyi that she would treat Jinzhi as her own daughter.
But he hid in Yangzhou for so many years.
Just as Gongshu Zhi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Gongshu, stop!"
Gongshu Zhi immediately stood still, then turned to look at Qin Jinzhi.
"You brat! Didn't you promise me you wouldn't tell her?"
Qin Jinzhi turned around and raised an eyebrow. "I promised not to tell the woman you saw that day about your news."
Gongshu Zhi was taken aback. "What's the difference?"
Qin Jinzhi said with a grin, "The woman that day was someone I hired to impersonate her."
Gongshu Zhiqi's earlier emotions vanished without a trace.
He took off his shoes and chased after Qin Jinzhi.
He had only taken two steps when he was stopped. "Gongshu Zhi, you've really been good at hiding all these years!"
Gongshu Zhi looked at the woman in front of him, slowly lowered the shoe he had raised in his hand, and didn't dare to make a sound.
Qin Jinzhi glanced at the two of them, then turned and left.
"Auntie, remember what you promised me."
The woman in white stepped forward, grabbed Gongshu Zhi's ear, and replied, "We members of the Mo family are men of our word."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and quickened her pace to leave.
Gongshu Zhi covered his ears and looked around at the open space, suddenly realizing why Qin Jinzhi had taken the mountain path down the mountain.
There's no way he can run away now that the area is so open!
That brat!
Qin Jinzhi settled Si Sha in a residence in the city.
Tu Feng had already sealed off all the brothels and was waiting outside the restaurant.
As Qin Jinzhi left the restaurant, she said to Tu Feng, "Let's go!"
The prefect of Yangzhou was waiting anxiously outside the government office.
Just now, the Zhenbei Army requisitioned the government office.
The princess from the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion has actually come to Yangzhou!
Qin Jinzhi appeared outside the government office.
The soldiers shouted in unison, "Greetings, Young Master!"
Qin Jinzhi waved her hand, and the prefect of Yangzhou immediately knelt down.
"Your humble servant, Geng Anfu, Prefect of Yangzhou, pays respects to Princess Zhenguo!"
Qin Jinzhi stepped into the government office. "Get up."
More than a dozen wealthy merchants have been detained in the courtyard of the government office.
The effects of the perfume powder on Luoshui wore off, and everyone regained consciousness.
When I woke up, I was already kneeling here.
A knife was still held to his neck.
The moment Chairman Zhou saw Geng Anfu, he immediately shouted, "Prefect Geng, what's going on here!"
