Aunt Liu's heart skipped a beat: "Six years."
"Six years? It's not too short, but it's not too long either. I've noticed that Madam has been distracted lately. If you're not feeling well, I'll tell Mother when I get home and let you go back and recuperate!"
Madam Liu immediately knelt in the carriage and said, "Please forgive me, young lady! I am not feeling unwell. It's just that the old sister I used to work with is gone. I often think back to the days when we worked together, and that's why I lost my mind! I won't do that again!"
Kou Yunyi's brows relaxed a little: "Really? As long as you tell the truth, I'm not unreasonable. I'll allow you to rest for two days to adjust. Don't make the same mistake again in the future."
"Thank you for your consideration, young lady!"

On the way back to the inn, Ji Changying saw a notice from the county government that Liu Shicong was wanted.
This result was within her expectations.
Duan Yunzheng must have investigated their background after returning last night. He found out that Liu Shicong had escaped, so he would definitely link it to them. It would be strange if they didn't put him on the wanted list.
But since they issued a wanted notice for Liu Shicong but not for them, King Ping and his men must have other plans.
According to Ji Changying's guess, Liu Shicong should come to see her soon.
Unexpectedly, the person who came on that dark and windy night was not Liu Shicong, but someone else.
One night, she was sitting cross-legged in meditation when she suddenly felt someone approaching the inn quickly.
Dressed in black and wearing a hood, he entered the inn and quickly went into the room with the big bunk bed.
After entering, the man in black quickly knocked everyone else unconscious. Lao Shi and the others were all awakened in shock: "Who is it?!"
The man in black lifted his hood, and it was Aunt Liu.
At this moment, she didn't look like a servant at all. She looked at them fiercely and said, "Someone has already gone to deal with the Ji family matter. What are you doing here?"
Lao Shi and the others frowned, not knowing what the other party was talking about.
"Who are you?"
Nanny Liu looked at them with a warning: "Stop pretending here. Someone from the Ji family has already gone there. It won't be long before they get what we want. Don't make things more complicated for me. If anything goes wrong and the master blames you, you will bear all the responsibility!"
"And who was that person you were with during the day?"
While talking, Nanny Liu was staring at the Tenth Old Man and ignored the others.
Lao Shi didn't understand who this person was who had come up to them and said all this. He just felt that the way he was looked at him made him feel a little annoyed: "Just do your own thing. What do we do have to do with you?"
Madam Liu laughed in anger: "Okay! Very good! If you encounter any problems in the future, it's best not to come to me! Leave Liangzhou immediately, this is not the place for you!"
After saying that, she put the hood on her head, walked into the yard, tapped her toes and jumped onto the roof. After a few jumps, her body disappeared.
Ji Changying became invisible and quickly followed.
There's something interesting about this Madam Liu. She mentioned twice that "someone from the Ji family has already gone there."
Ji Changying was shocked and angry when she thought of this. It would be better if the Ji family that Nanny Liu mentioned was not her family.
Thinking that only her father, Mrs. Hu and You Tianming were at home, and all of them were powerless, her heart tightened.
But then he thought of Ren Dongnan next door and relaxed again.
With the master here, it should be fine no matter whether it is her home or not.
The prerequisite is that the master must be at home.
The Ji family of Odamura.
Looking at the men in black lying on the ground, Mrs. Hu pressed her pounding chest, still feeling a lingering fear.
The yard was in a mess, and several rooms were opened, and one could vaguely see that the rooms were in a mess.
You Tianming and Ji Fengshou stood in the yard, gasping for breath, holding their weapons.
"What on earth are these people doing? We don't have any enemies."
Ji Fengshou looked at the man in black on the ground in confusion. He found out that his house had been turned upside down in the middle of his sleep. If it weren't for the mechanism designed by You Tianming, they didn't know whether they could sleep until dawn.
Ren Dongnan was bending over and groping for something on the corpse.
Ji Fengshou calmed down and stepped forward. Knowing that Ren Dongnan had difficulty seeing, he took the initiative to check: "Do you want to check these people for clues? Let me do it!"
Ren Dongnan paused for a moment: "No."
Ji Fengshou was stunned: "Then what are you looking for?"
"Oh, check if they have any hidden money."
······
Nanny Liu is quite good at light work. If Ji Changying didn't have such a wide range of ability, she might have lost her long ago.
She followed Madam Liu all the way to a small alley. When she got there, she looked around cautiously. After making sure that there was no one there, she began to knock on the door with two long knocks and one short knock.
Soon the door opened and Nanny Liu slipped in.
Ji Changying entered the yard quietly and "watched" the conversation of the people inside.
There were three middle-aged men standing inside. When they saw Madam Liu, they came forward to greet her.
She lifted her hood and sat in the main seat: "How is it going?"
A thin, bearded man replied, "According to the situation in the city, if we waited another five days, the government officials would definitely be overwhelmed and would come to buy our grain. However, we just received news that they found a caravan from somewhere and sent a batch of grain here, and the price was more than half off."
Madam Liu frowned, "What caravan?"
The other person described his appearance and physical features. The more Madam Liu listened, the higher her eyebrows raised. "Is it him?"
"Has the Hall Master seen this person?"
Madam Liu nodded: "I met him once during the day, but I didn't expect that he would be the one supplying food to the government office!"
Her expression became serious at this moment.
Although I don’t know that person’s identity, since he is walking with Juefeng and the others, he might be one of us.
But the master had clearly instructed them to monopolize the grain in Liangzhou and sell the grain in stock at a high price. What was the point of finding such a person now?
"Stop your small movements and observe the situation first."
For a moment, Matron Liu was hesitant to act rashly.
I plan to write back and ask before making a decision.
"Have you already taken action to intercept those returning to the city?"
"Don't worry, Hall Master. We will definitely not let those people come back alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound of arrows in the air.
Madam Liu's face changed and she stood up immediately: "Useless! We still have a chance to send out a distress signal for them! Why don't you hurry up and send more people to solve the problem!"
Ji Changying also stood up. Less than two minutes after the flare was fired, she saw Zhong Lizhou with a grim face leading a group of people towards the outside of the city.
The people in the house couldn't sit still when they heard the noise outside. They left the yard in a hurry and went out to gather people.
Ji Changying looked at Liu Ma's back as she left and followed her.
This time she waited until she reached a secluded alley and attacked Madam Liu directly.
