Jin Linlin woke up from a nap and without even opening her eyes, she started browsing the electronics mall in her mind.
She was thinking about finding some medicine to deal with the poisonous insects. These insects were too scary, and there were very few poison doctors in the Dagan Dynasty.
Hey, you nevermind, she actually found it! There's a poison-absorbing incense. Once it's lit, the poisonous insect loves the scent and will follow it to choose one of the host's five senses to emerge.
But this incense is really not cheap, 40,000 taels of gold per stick! And one stick of incense can only suck out five poisonous insects, the price is simply sky-high! But Jin Linlin still gritted her teeth and bought two sticks, putting them in her space, just in case!
As Jin Linlin stood up, Chunxue and Qiuyu heard the noise outside and hurried in. Chunxue walked over to Jin Linlin and helped her up.
Jin Linlin opened her arms wide, letting Haruyuki help her put on her lining and skirt. She yawned loudly and asked, "Who's out there?"
"Madam, the Second Master has sent Jialiu here, saying he's for you. Jialiu isn't particularly outstanding among the secret guards, but he knows everything. The Second Master told you to leave all the outside matters to him. He's waiting outside now. Would you like to meet him?"
"Well, tell him to wait in the main hall. I'll be there soon."
Chunxue and Qiuyu helped Jin Linlin get dressed and washed, then helped her to the main hall. Jin Linlin's greatest satisfaction in ancient times was not having to go to work. She had food and clothes provided for her all day long. It was such a comfortable life!
As soon as he arrived at the main hall, Jia Liu knelt down with a plop and saluted:
"Madam, how are you? I am Jialiu, and I am here to greet you."
Jin Linlin glanced at Jialiu. The man was a little fat, with a smile on his face, and looked quite likable.
"Get up, the Second Master has assigned you to me, understand?"
"I know what you are doing. Madam, please tell me what you want to do."
“Well, this is my village outside the city. It is huge, like a mysterious castle hidden in the mountains and forests. Its location is extremely secret.
The above is worth 100,000 taels of silver. You can use this silver to train talents for me. No matter if they are talented in literature or martial arts, or have superb medical skills, as long as they have a skill, I will recruit them.
You can go to orphanages, beggars' dens, and refugees to look for them. No matter the age, gender, you can choose them. If you don't have enough money, you can come back to me for more. I don't need to ask about the process, I only want the result. You can provide me with the people I need, that's all!
Chunyu walked up to Jialiu and handed him Zhuangzi's address and a silver note worth 100,000 taels of silver.
Jia Liu took the pile of papers with both hands, bowed, and said respectfully:
"Yes, I will not let you down, Madam, and I will see to it that this matter is done." After saying that, he bowed and walked out.
Qiuyu poured her a cup of tea and asked softly:
"Madam, are you going to cultivate talents?"
"Well, at critical moments, I always feel short-handed. Anyway, I have plenty of money, and it's just sitting there anyway."
Jin Linlin and Chunxue Qiuyu went to the kitchen together and personally prepared iced cola. They sent Nanny Bai to deliver a large bucket of cola to the Jinyiwei command post and poured a bowl for each person to help them cool down.
Jiang Zhixu's subordinates teased him while drinking, saying that it was very refreshing and delicious!
A small bucket was sent to the third room. Cao Jiao was overjoyed when she saw the iced cola. She felt like she had found a treasure and could not wait to pour two cups and savor them slowly with her husband. The cool taste seemed to bring a hint of coolness to the hot summer, making her feel relaxed and refreshed.
When Cao Jiao escorted Nanny Bai out, she also specifically reminded her to remember to visit her more often in the future when the weather gets hot. Nanny Bai smiled and nodded repeatedly.
There was a lot of noise in Ci'an Hall.
Today was the first day of the lunar year, and everyone had gathered at the old lady's house to pay their respects. Zhuang was busy setting up tables for everyone, one for the women and one for the men.
Just as the old lady, holding Zhuang's hand, was about to take her place at the table, the Dali Temple men rushed in. They were so aggressive that they instantly grabbed the Duke of Zhenguo and the master. Everyone was stunned and before they could recover, the Dali Temple men had already carried the two men away like chickens.
Finally, only a small official was left. He bowed to the old lady and said, "Madam, the Anti-Corruption Bureau has found evidence of the guilt of the master and the eldest son of your family, and it will be announced in two days. Madam, I will take my leave now." After that, the small official slowly withdrew.
As soon as the official left, the old lady fainted from shock. Seeing this, Jin Linlin and Cao Jiao rushed to the old lady, carefully lifted her up, and placed her on the imperial concubine's couch. Jin Linlin was extremely anxious and shouted to the maid outside, "Go and get the doctor! Hurry!"
At this moment, a cry of alarm came from Zhuang's side: "My eldest daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? Oh, why are you bleeding so much? Hurry and get a doctor!"
It turned out that Gu had fainted, blood gushing out of her lower body. Cao Jiao and Jin Linlin were terrified and didn't dare to move her, fearing that the slightest mistake would make her injuries worse.
Jin Linlin was extremely anxious. She quickly came to Jiang Zhixu who was behind the screen and said with a worried look on her face, "Go and find out what happened. What crime did Dad and Big Brother commit?" Jiang Zhixu nodded and motioned Jiang Shuyan to go with him. Then the two of them strode out of Ci'an Hall like a gust of wind.
However, he also knew that he probably wouldn't be able to find out anything. Their house was the Duke's Mansion, and no one could break in without the emperor's order. It was obviously the emperor who issued the order.
As for the old lady, she slowly regained consciousness after the doctor gave her an injection. As soon as she opened her eyes, she couldn't wait to ask about her son and eldest grandson.
