The two were afraid that they would say less than the other, so they racked their brains and told Ji Changying all the information they knew.
According to the information the two had inquired about over the years, Nanny Liu was originally a nanny in Prince Ping's mansion. Later, because Captain Kou loved his young daughter, he asked her to be Kou Yunyi's nanny. It has been six years now.
"We usually have no interaction. When we occasionally run into each other on the street, we act as if we don't know each other. They rarely ask us for help, so we really don't know much."
Zhang Xinyuan spoke sincerely and his expression was genuine.
Yang Tuozi glanced at him. The other party had said everything he wanted to say. What should he do?
Ji Changying didn't buy into the information the two of them said. After talking for a long time, she didn't say anything useful. She looked at them dangerously: "I know everything you said. If that's all you know, then I'll leave you..."
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the two of them with the dagger in her hand, her expression very obvious.
Realizing they might soon be killed, Yang Tuozi shuddered and shouted, "I know! I also know that the hall master seemed to have been a maid in the palace! Later, she was exiled to Prince Ping's mansion because she committed a crime. I heard the servants in the mansion talk about it!"
Ji Changying narrowed her eyes. The nanny in the palace?
She now seemed to be certain that the Ji family that Nanny Liu mentioned was her family!
"Very good, you can live." Ji Changying pointed at Yang Tuozi and motioned him to stand aside.
Lao Luo stood aside with a heavy look in his eyes, unable to move or speak.
Zhang Xinyuan's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he was anxious. Finally, his eyes lit up and he said, "Although I don't know other news, I know that a few years ago, Princess Ping led the Red Sleeves Army to the rear to burn food and grass. Someone leaked the news to the barbarian, and it was very likely the hall master!"
No matter what the specific truth is, Zhang Xinyuan just wanted to survive at this moment, so he expressed his guess.
"Oh? Do you have any evidence?" Ji Changying didn't expect that he would actually get something.
"Evidence... I don't have any evidence. I just happened to see the Hall Master follow the Red Sleeves out of the city that day. When he came back, he brought back a horse from outside the city!"
Zhang Xinyuan said that he had no confidence at the end.
Ji Changying said calmly: "You guys deserve to die!"
Zhang Xinyuan sank to his knees. "I was forced to serve the Hall Master. As a native of Liangzhou, I wouldn't have done such a heartless thing if I hadn't been forced! My whole family was fed poison by her, and we have to... take the antidote once a month to survive!"
"He's different. He's alone and has no weaknesses, yet he's willing to be manipulated by the Hall Master. He was the one who took the initiative to monopolize the grain in Liang Province, and it was also his suggestion to send people to intercept the Gale Squad returning from Kyoto!"
Zhang Xinyuan tried to divert the conflict by pointing at Lao Luo next to him.
This made his eyes widen and he wanted to kill Zhang Xinyuan.
Ji Changying waved her hand, and Lao Luo opened his eyes wide unwillingly, with a dagger stuck in his forehead, and fell on his back.
Zhang Xinyuan swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect that the other party would kill him without giving him a chance to speak.
"It's just crushing an ant. It's dead if it dies." Ji Changying sneered.
"Tell me all your contact locations, where you placed your grain, and whoever has done anything for you."
Seeing that she acted decisively, Yang Tuozi and Zhang Xinyuan explained everything without hesitation.
"You can still work for the hall master in the future."
As soon as Ji Changying finished speaking, panic appeared on their faces.
"But if she makes any more moves, I want you to tell me all the news about her, otherwise..."
Ji Changying pretended to be angry, and the dagger placed on the table floated in the air in the shocked eyes of the two men.
What kind of inner strength does one need to achieve such a level? !
"Killing your entire family is just a matter of blinking my eyes. If you behave well, I can cure the poison in your bodies. If you tell your hall master about this, I won't have to do anything. Do you think she will keep you alive?"
The two had no choice at all.
Yang Tuozi immediately knelt on the ground and swore: "I, Yang Tuozi, will absolutely obey my master from now on. If I betray you, I will die without a burial place."
Zhang Xinyuan hesitated for a moment, then knelt on the ground and swore an oath.
Ji Changying glanced at Yang Tuozi. She didn't need these two people's loyalty. She just wanted to keep an eye on Madam Liu.
However, she did not miss the relieved yet serious look in Yang Tuozi's eyes. However, she ignored it. After all, there was still a long way to go. "You guys should explain this situation to others yourselves."
Ji Changying stood up and pointed at Lao Luo's body on the ground, then flashed out of the yard and ran towards the distance.
Zhang Xinyuan watched her walk away, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "I really don't know whether this will be a blessing or a curse for us!"
There was a glint of excitement in Yang Tuozi's eyes, and he answered secretly in his heart: This is certainly a good thing!
He replied calmly, "Let's think about how to explain Lao Luo to the hall master!"
After discussing, the two of them took up Lao Luo's body and returned to a place ten miles outside the city...
Based on the addresses provided by the two men, Ji Changying robbed five grain stores in the city.
When she got to the place, she used her special powers to scan, found the warehouse, went in, and with a wave of her hand, the warehouse, which was originally full, immediately became empty.
After looting the warehouses of five grain stores in a row, she looked ten miles outside the city.
Yang Tuozi and Zhang Xinyuan were there pretending to be Lao Luo's death scene.
She returned to the inn and felt a dull pain in her body. Knowing it was the power of that palm strike, she sat cross-legged and regulated her breathing.
I'll wait for Liu Shi again tomorrow morning.
If you haven't found it yet, then just assume that you two are not meant to be.
She had to rush back to Ji's house as soon as possible to check the situation. She didn't have time to waste here.
Early in the morning, Ji Changying wrote a letter back to Zhong Lizhou with charcoal pencil, released the carrier pigeon in the space, changed the note on its leg, and then let it fly away.
After breakfast, she selected two guards and rushed to the government office to settle the bill.
When I got there, I was told that Zhonglizhou was not there because he had something to do.
Ji Changying looked around the entire government office. Because of what happened last night, Zhongli Zhou was indeed not there.
"The prince is busy and I dare not disturb him. Please take me to settle the bill directly."
Ji Changying bowed in thanks.
The attendant thought about it and remembered that the prince seemed to have said yesterday that the settlement would be made today, so he did not delay and took Ji Changying to the household department.
"The total amount of grain is 4,600 jin, and each jin costs 50 wen, so Mr. Li should be paid 230 guan (strings of silver) in cash. Am I correct?"
The clerk in the household department took the bill and checked it, then handed it to Ji Changying to see. If both parties confirmed that it was correct, he could sign and receive the money.
Ji Changying took a glance and happily signed the three words "Li Changmu" with a brush.
He then ordered the two guards behind him to carry the two hundred and thirty strings of cash out of the government office.
